Recruiter finally got back to me, and guess what now they can't do tomorrow, the one day I don't (normally) have client work, but instead they want to do friday. It's not even the office I'd be working at, this one is 3 hours away by train. Sigh what a week, PC is half on the fritz as well. Head honcho is gone so Mr Small PP is being whiny. Ugh.

Just finished the code tests. I swear all of them could have just been regex. The first 2 I know can be because I did.
The last one was pattern matching in an array of strings (think battleships)
I actually fucked up the second test because I decided that they probably want code instead of regex...8 -
Been practising for the codility test, thinking maybe only the first couple training tests are shitty non-programming math/compsi problems written in code. Haven't even done the test yet, and I'm already tempted to message the recruiter back that I'm no longer interested, since if this is how they test their devs I doubt they're getting the best. I'll still do it since it's the weekend, but I guarantee I can get AI to generate the most "efficient" aka the exact and only solution they want.
The first orange flag was the fact that the HR lady didn't know much about recent tech...

Had my first interview with a company now they want to schedule an in person (during work hours I assume) at their head office which is ~3 hours away with public transport... Also want me to do a Codility test, anyone done them before?18

Been installing llama.cpp using aur and have ccache installed. Well for some reason one of the dependencies has some system lib incompatibly when it uses the cached object, you'd think running ccache -c would fix it, but no had to manually delete the cache folder8

After 5 days of being /gone/ finally caught up again. Anyway, see you all next week or when page 4 is fully unread again
(not really, just have been busy)
(btw you can get temporarily banned from commenting it seems)9 -
Company is not doing well so decided to go job hunting again, or rather respond on linkedin. Didn't think I cared that much, but I have been unable to finish the work I need to do, something that I should be able to do in a day at most. Half of me is "remember you don't care" the other half is "why are such a slacker, useless piece of shit"
Anyway, first call with an actual recruiter was positive7 -
It's been fun, will probably still check over the coming week to see if dR recovers, otherwise so long and thanks for all the fish 🫡

Oh, and hedgehogs are super cute, love them so, just like coy foxes1 -
Tester mentions deployment failing, I go check. Strange terraform is exiting with a failure.
Mention that there is an error with infra code. PM comes in "HURDUR it's not broken". Literally, terraform saying error and exiting with status code 1 causing the whole deploy pipeline to fail is not broken, sure buddy.1 -
Well, dR just disappeared for a bit but glad it's back, but I can see that recent rants are gone (because I was trying to catch up on missing rants)

I see we need some more anti-spam accounts.
Calling everyone to adopt some new ones (https://devrant.com/rants/16155083/...)
Open this to adopt: https://birth.molodetz.nl/
Also, can we get some praise for @retoor's awesome work, she deserves some more praise4 -
A react package has a transient dependency on another library (date-fns), well that transient library is used throughout the code base. Now I need a slightly newer version of date-fns. Everything runs fine, create PR, build fails. Have a look, react package doesn't import date-fns properly, ok well lets update it, spent the morning updating a shitty date picker component, that is wrapped in a shitty wrapper that doesn't keep the generic/union exclude info so now it has type issues. Finally fix that, everything looks fine.
Runs build:
ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 3221225501.
Why is it always with react that these issues exist2 -

It's a public holiday (I follow company's country's public holidays).
Wake up. Feeling good.
See message wishing me that I don't wake up - lol.
Msg peeps hello, and go help mom she's in a rush.
Qt says hello.
Help mom go to work (garage door is manual).
Wish qt good luck with stuff today - no reply, guess I just missed her
Go back to sleep
(buddy using img-gen #awesome)
(client messages for standup)
Wake up again, Life's still good™️
Reply back, it's a public holiday but if they want other/extra days just let me know - all good.
Make brunch - bread has just gone bad, whatever got another. Ends up being heavier than expected.
Watch an episode of a show while eating, bit of a zzzz.
Jam some guitar, do decently but not quite getting it right - but it's fun so it's all right
Qt updates about day - sounds like fun
Check in with friend, seems to be doing ok, he's been dealing with a bunch of things atm.
Create fun project for a sudoku solver, set up the initial part, realise that the parsing is a bunch of boilerplate (decided to map each section to a variable with bit packing), realise it's easier to work with arrays instead.
Decide to nap
It gets too warm to stay in bed, doens't matter, feel physically even better (aka bags under eyes are much less)
Qt back online, shares cool pic of castle
Realise I can get best of both worlds using pointers... This is getting stupid, whatever.
Getting warm, qt sends pic of temp by her.
Oh, right, ice cream. Open it, clearly melted and refrozen slightly - it's ice cream doesn't matter.
Chat a bit with qt
Bot battle spams img-gen
img-gen randomly gets stuck because watching YT vid
Chat a bit with peeps
Order food for mom and I - because why not. Hmmm a bit pricey.
Chat a bit more with peeps till mom is home.
Go chat with mom food should be here soon...
App says food is on it's way, great I'm like 2 minutes away.
20 minutes later, (1 hour after ordering) call up, "um yeah, that will still take a while"
Friends messages, he's been made redundant after CEO explodes and fires managers
Mom getting annoyed, if she had had to work she'd have been in bed already.
Now 2 hours after ordering food, call up again. "Yeah it ready we're sending it over now" - great hang up.
Get food, it's good. They included an extra beer - they offered, and I picked, spring rolls, but whatever.
Finish the first beer, look at the bottle, it's grody - at least the neck is clean, same with the other bottle.
Chat with peeps
Realise that it's not as good as the one I remember. That's export vs local version, I guess.
Chat with qt
Realise it's late and didn't really touch projects I wanted to #ItHappens
Starting to get tired again
Me still happy. Glad I woke up chipper. Let the happy flow
Also, my PC randomly started having lag spikes today - should probably just reboot #WindowsProblems
Not really a rant, since I'm just kinda shrugging it off, but I know if I didn't wake up in such a good mood I would have been pretty annoyed. Perspective is everything or some other philosophical shenanigans, you guys tell me the right term/saying5 -
Started reading during meetings. The description of `elegance` vs `marketable` in "Hacking: The art of exploitation" hits home. Probably also why I hate the client work I need to do so much right now as well, there is nothing elegant about react
Thanks for the recommendation @retoor7 -
Just saw this in an email about 1password:
Automated system restarts. You can automatically enforce restarts on employees’ devices to ensure updates install successfully.
We are adding support for the MSI command-line option /norestart for situations where automated system restarts are not desired.
If system restarts are enforced, we recommend scheduling deployments during off-hours to minimize disruptions.
If my PC restarts without me asking I'm going to smack a bitch (windows does it enough already)6 -
Why do people who put camera's on always insist others must do so as well? I don't mind when it's a special meeting like a retro or some form of team building thing, but I cannot be assed during standup - that MFer is meant to be over after 10 minutes. You guys go on an hour-long tangent, while I'm busy writing code, chatting to people and getting shit done, do you really need to see me not paying attention to the issues with the PHP project that are there because client X did something stupid. I'm already rolling my eyes while listening right now. Also, I don't want to put a "good" shirt on for 20 minutes to an hour meeting.17

Oh no I'm not handwriting property/key checks and just checking that rows are written to the CSV (since that's not the job of that test, but test of the serialising function)
Dude must be really happy at home 🙄 -
That heart attack when important data isn't showing anymore, and you missed the note as to why, so now you're stressed out because you don't know what and how hard you fucked up
Also, fuck the dude for saying he did the deploy, telling the testers to test and only an hour or 2 later saying he didn't deploy to the right env2 -
Finally got enough coverage on an urgent PR, update from main. Can't merge because of -0.32% coverage on code that has ~95% coverage.
Well, I guess they're not getting that end of day feature they wanted.3 -

God I hate admin, need to transfer booking between software that looks like it was written in the early to 2000s to that was made 1998 or some shit (new bookkeeper). FUCK I HATE ADMIN
