Your tasks are going slowly, let's have a meeting about it

New JoyRant build (38) with a new feature:

Every user that you see in a rant will be stored in a list which can be used for @mentioning and viewing the profile.

Sometimes you just don‘t remember the exact name of a user and hopefully this feature will help.

It might also be a nice summary of how many users are active.

We had a teambuilding last Friday. We went indoor karting and it was a lot of fun. My project manager does not have a driving license and it did show.

The karts have a boost button (electric karts) and my project manager used it before a turn and then slammed into wall. Now he got a few bruised ribs haha

Also, it's still funny to me that I was part of the teambuilding during my resignation but i'm not gonna complain about that. :D

The only reasons I'm with my current employer is because;
1. I interview bad
2. Too lazy to update my CV

One of these days...

I did it.

Had my final exam today.
Presentation and technical project defense both A-!

I'm officially now a certified IT specialist for application development.

Signing the contract tomorrow and genuinely looking forward to the future for once.

Ya know when you're working on a personal project, and you add a feature thinking it's a really good idea, then you don't touch the code for 6 months and it's still a good idea but you've got no idea what's broken and no idea what you need to do next?

I regret talking shit about my coworker because despite being not a great programmer, he is a nice human being, and at the end of the day, this is what matters.

Tbh, ostream is a nice guy. Once you get over his

- Racism towards Germans
- Racism towards Jews
- Closeted racism towards anyone, really
- Psychotic episodes of rage
- Borderline criminal tendencies
- Bipolar disorder

It's actually fun to talk to him. You have to invest time and patience though.

Love you ostream bro.

I think HR is the first role that could truly be replaced by an LLM.

Want to know a sad story? I had a great idea for an internal application that would optimize a process in the company. My idea gets approved and.. guess what? Later it gets cancelled because Change Management didn't see a reason for me to get API rights on the company pipeline, which was what I needed to get my application going. I pitch my idea and they don't care and shut me down quickly because it's just another ticket they want to close asap.

Another guy in my company, openly incompetent but big buddies with the higher-ups gets his idea approved without effort. They open the doors for him and talk to Change Management to get him in. Then he's seen as Mr. Big Ideas while this guy doesn't even know how to use a terminal (I'm not joking). Even the girls admire him but he's a complete idiot who just smiles a lot.

It's whom you know, apparently. And bureaucracy is a piece of shit. So are cronyism and corruption.

Youtube is disgusting.

They deliberately implement some crap that tries to circumvent ad blockers, fail at that, that causes videos to have a delay before loading.
Then they implement a fucking popup during this delay, telling you to klick there for more information why there is a delay.
And when you klick on that, they essentially tell you that your ad blocker is probably why there is a delay.

No, assholes, the ads is why there is a delay.

Dishonest, manipulative pieces of shit.

They started measuring deleted and added lines of code as a metric for productivity at my company. I have heard it's been done in other companies among friends... WHO THE FUCK IS PUSHING FOR THIS!?
Like WHY EVEN DO THAT USELESS SHIT???

When Russians talk about someone who is still a part of their group but is shunned, they use the word нерукопожатный — literally “nonhandshakable”.

Programmer's Brain at 2 AM:

Bug appears at 2 PM: “I'll fix it later.”

Bug appears at 2 AM:
“This is a personal attack. I will not sleep until this line of code regrets its existence.”

Project Managers will ask six figures salaries to whip an entire team of developers because it's fundamental to add AI to a fucking toilet by the end of the week, then walk around like they understood everything about life. Given how that's what they do for a living and we're not currently gunning them down on sight, I can't say they're entirely wrong.

Initially I didn’t like mold in my apartment, but since then it grew on me.

Reminder for Europe meet up.

I suggest August 23rd, Amsterdam. Let's meet at centraal and go from there.

... I expect 5 of you to show up, btw, with one being late and one being very very late. 😐

I noticed an increased usage of the word unalive, such as in "to un-alive someone" on youtube, spoken in the videos and written in the comments.

I suppose this is to avoid the word kill?

So we are at the stage of changing the language just to avoid using a bad word on a platform of hypersensitive woke snowflakes who will cancel you for saying a specific word regardless of the context it’s been used in?

Please tell me I‘m wrong. 😒

messy backend API. root level payload object has a property that is being repeated in a property that takes an array of objects where this same property exists in each object in this array.

why do people work in a messy manner like this? why pass the same data twice in the exact same request?

(lead architect is smart, but holy fuck is his work a goddamn mess of technical debt and hurts my brain and productivity)

In french the world fish means "poisson". Not to be confused with a "boisson" (beverage), nor with the "poison" (poison).

But you could have fish beverage, which would be a "boisson de poisson". And some fish are poisonous, which would make it "poisson poison". Now let's take some poisonous fish, like some fugu, and turn it into a soup. You get a poisonous fish beverage, so "une boisson de poisson poison".

It also follows the poisson distribution
