Scheduled devRant maintenance - I'm going to be upgrading some infrastructure later and there will be some downtime, probably about 15 minutes, around 9pm EDT. Apologies for the inconvenience and devRant disruption :) It will help with working towards an even more stable service in the future.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

The bug made it through unnoticed. sh1t storm wednesdays. FML

!(rant && story)

It hit me today. I literally 100% fit the exact stereotype for a backend developer.

And it's not wrong, I love backend dev and hate frontend work with a burning passion (even though I can do it)

whyyyy

lol the solution to "ohno if I try this everything goes fuck" happening with everything

is to do all the everything's that make it go fuck _at the same time_

and then somehow all the problems solve themselves

life does have a sense of humour

ohno I'm rewriting that async proxy swarm thing again

third time's the charm, right?

brain's a bit better so maybe I'll get rid of the weird mystery async hanging error this time...

and this time I'll have one persistence object instead of 4 scripts that all juggle loading the same files without running into each other through sheer wit (which now I'm so unsure of 😭, so fragile!). thanks tui

and there's a logging library called tracing that would let me access logs of innermost libraries if I log using tracing instead of print lines, then I can subscribe to the logs and get them in the tui to debug with them and bam. let's see how it goes. might work well for debugging async code. it's built to handle async logging actually

I'm not sure why a lot of rust libraries are a mess but with power of gp5 writing me demos I'm ticking along even if I run into dead ends... like how I gotta do my own text wrapping in tuis and it won't work with ansi codes. eesh. but that was only a couple hours detour of confusion at least instead of me getting too frustrated with it. I came up with a solution that works good enough and wasn't too fancy, phew

1am monday morning.. last commit of last week👀
What happens: previous commit crashed git repo and destroyed the HEAD😠 after 1 hour of repairing now 500 damn files have to be merged........ FUCK MY LIFE
