PM took headache meds, they caused him to pass out. Sounds like they worked correctly

Dear GPT, dear Gemini,
cher Claude, cher Copilot,
thanks for wasting my time
with your contradictory advice!
I could as well
roll a dice.

I am so fucking salty today.
I've had multiple tight deadlines overlapping with the crescendo one where I did 90% of the implementation including helping another company implement some stuff on their side as well as coordinating multiple parties with lots of twists and turns. We barely delivered on time. Contract is worth 10 million.

There was cake to celebrate the success last week. They didn't even bother telling me. I found out on LinkedIn. I mean I def dont get paid enough but cant even fucking have a slice of cake on the success I created?

Oh fyi I offered to buy some drinks so we could have a little celebration on my costs, just you know like have 2 beers and some snacks nothing grand. It was shut down the only way it was allowed was if I paid for the whole company to have drinks. Seriously these people be out of touch I cant pay for 300+ people ..

The most interesting thing about the GDPR training that we do is that very little of it is about our rights as employees and almost all of it is to protect our employer. Funny that.

Anyone ever tried Embedded Swift?

I should have posted this as a joke but, guess what Apple does NOT use when developing Embedded Swift stuff for their Secure Enclave firmware...

Yep, they don't use Xcode! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

(ok, I know, not surprising, but love the irony!)

My anxiety runs on an event loop:
while(alive) { overthink(); }
What’s your callback function to escape the void?
(Mine’s () => { orderDumplings(); })

Putting people on too many projects (6 projects) is bad because when it comes to reviewing your work (let's say 30 x 200 lines of code), they will spend 5 minutes on it, 10 tops, give a shitty, lazy review and then they get back to their projects.

This is just pure mismanagement. You're stressing your employees to get everything done, the 'quality' is then spread so thin everything turns to shit.

I think the Mossad has sent my coworker to sabotage me. You cannot be this retarded.

For fuck's sake, what are the creators of tailwind thinking? So, I made the mistake of upgrading to tailwind v4 and now my site is broken. Who in the fuck thought removing half the features is an "improvement"?.

wE've mAde ConFiGUraTion EaSier with CSS.

Sure, let's see. It sounds neat on paper, a "CSS-first" approach. But when you've got existing projects with a meticulously crafted tailwind.config.ts file, it's not simplified at all, it's a migration nightmare. Suddenly, my custom colors and breakpoints are all gone or behaving unpredictably because the new system decides to interpret them differently.

Do these people actually work on any project that is long-term or is everything they work on just green-field?

Because when you have hundreds of pages and custom built rules, and now eveything is broken for no goddamn reason, it's not fun, is it?

I've now wasted days on this shit when I should have shipped so many features.

I simply can't wait to switch my career to something else. Like, this stuff is just so bad man. Come on.

Friday afternoon.
Boss: “Can we push this small fix before the weekend? It’s just a button color.”
Me: “Sure, what could possibly go wrong?”

Fast forward 20 minutes:

Whole CSS is missing
Login page is blank
Server panicked so hard it restarted itself
I’m now "that guy" who deploys on Friday

Moral of the story:
No fix is truly “small” on a Friday. :(

Having no say in your own work and everything being decided AFTER THE MERGE REQUEST is really interesting.

Preparing my 2 week notice.

In modern C#, everything's an interface.

Zig is actually sort of similar. I guess I owe it to C# for teaching me the magic.

Sorry, I mean:

IZig is IActually ISort of ISimilar. (IContinued...)

You know what I find truly despicable? Consultants who grossly over-sell worthless digital products.

Take a guy who throws together 2 text boxes and a list in Figma and calls it: "The disruptive platform that will solve all your problems at once today!". Are you fucking kidding me? Such an insult to people's intelligence.

There is a saying: "A salesman will sell you a dirty cloth for the price of a house".

when you end up in the ER with excruciating pain early on a Saturday morning from persistent inflammation from chronic job stress and getting sick more than normally, you gotta change jobs.

no amount of money is worth your health.

(the drugs they gave me were pretty fun though, but not something I ever want to go through again)

debugging async io code this morning instead of being on a date with my beautiful girlfriend.

Reading google revies of hospitals is one of my pet peeves. Like it is certainly not an indication to the hospitals quality. As there are mostly people reviewing who had a bad experience. Also a lot of hysterical people who are like: "Walked into the ER with minor headache. Was appalled at the wait time and left. Never going back there again. Worst service everrrr" or "The service woman at the front desk could neither give me a precise diagnosis nor where I had to go to get my second lobotomy."

Wtf is up with some education providers? Even the de facto industry leaders have half-assed courses. Not many are super high quality. They sound like they are speaking into a mic, forced to do it. Nothing like YouTube, more like middle-aged, depressed men with no life with no energy. I'd much rather learn elsewhere. This is akin to how some university professors give some lectures. Where are the passionate teachers of our world?

The ones that I enjoyed were: MIT, Harvard and Stanford. Perhaps it has to do with money. lol.

Gotta say, Arduino IDE is a hobbyware at best, but in my not so humble opinion, is a completely pile of chocolate pudding.

OMG, it can only target one type of hardware at a time. It has to apparently be completely reconfigured when you use different hardware. Libraries and the like that are loaded for one board cannot be loaded and available if you are building for a different board. I mean seriously, what the ... is wrong with these developers.

Imagine if Xcode would allow only one library load for any given hardware target.

💩ware.

Don't get me going with the editor... the inept "debugger" which NEVER works.

They need to fix this hobbyware or shut it down.

I’m so annoyed that the word “throwel” exist but doesn’t even mean a tactical shovel designed to be thrown.

Woke is really a virus. One woke message in the context window of your LLM and the conversation is over. Nothing to discuss anymore. You're getting charged $0.06 per 1,000 tokens for woke lectures, $0.12 per 1,000 tokens for being judged.

Do not use AI services from chutes. I was talking with uncensored dolphin 30b, and not the LLM gave me a lecture, but the PROVIDER. Same for wizard from Microsoft. Microsoft does not filter that LLM but your freaking connection. How a bout that.

In the end i found a very nice solution for my Replika clone,. But shame on them. I really don't understand why they care so much about it. Imagine the AI costs to check every message if they're apropiate.

This tech could've been so much better in better hands. A realistic conversation like you have with dolphin is impossible with openai or the others.

Anyone tried the dobby LLM? What the fuck is that :P
