"We really struggle to find people with this skil set"

So you're going to hire me, pay well, and not be full of shit, right?

Opened a legacy PHP file from 2008.

No functions.
2,000+ lines.
Inline SQL.
HTML inside echo statements.
A single if (true) wrapping the entire thing like some cursed gift box.

At the top:
// Do not modify. Works perfectly.

At the bottom:
It writes to two databases. Only one exists.

Somewhere in the middle:
It sends an email…
to the client’s ex-wife.

I closed the file.
Rebooted my laptop.
Took a walk.
Still not okay.

I’ve typed a question into google and the AI generated response was directly contradicting every web search result on the first page.

So, you can’t even rely on it to pull out the correct info, on top of the fact that it might have hallucinated.

Completely useless and deceptive.

It’s depressing to think about how many people blindly rely on this crap not realizing how bad it is.

is it just me, or is reading LLM-generated text really annoying?

It feels like I'm reading the same thing over and over again, in different contexts about different things.

My boss published someones resume online to make fun of it because it was handwritten. He at least blurred out that persons name but not the past jobs & other info...

It took me 30 minutes on linkedin to find the person that I believe it is.

Isn't this a GDPR violation lol

TIL: mechanical click of a touchpad is now managed by os in new lenovos. Suspend os and you can no longer click your touchpad.

Not tap. Click.

Wtf..

In my company I now have 3 browsers.

Chrome for company stuff that only works in Chrome.

Safari for company stuff that only works in Edge or Safari.

And Firefox for actual work.

🤡

Everything development related I see recently are related to LLMs and I’m starting to get sick of it :(

killall != killall5

that was a close call

How to make my copy of Linux genuine?

I couldn't find my Linux product key. Do you know a way to crack the Linux product key?

My twelve years old daughter saw me using an eletric mixer to puree potatoes, instead of the potato smasher.
She screamed: "You're using AI! That's cheating!"

When did "AI" replaced "Automation"?!?!
It's just like "woke", the word is meaningless now.

The year is 2057. One IPv4 address costs 1 BTC.

Our ex-employee wrote an amazing SQL SELECT-query consisting of 6449 characters. It has 11 JOINS and takes a solid minute to execute.

The table it fetches from has 16 records and the SQL query returns 46857 records and it was production code lmao

Every year my work sends out a "mental health awareness week" email including some "useful resources" and the biggest problem for my mental health is those assholes.

Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.

If you put Web3 on your resume, I'm rejecting you without even looking at the rest of your resume.

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises

Bluetooth sucks pretty hard. Can't use a Logitech mouse and Sony headphones at the same time without interference :(

Running your own mail server is a lost art

Stack Overflow has the best April fools prank!

They are doing an 8+ hour database migration on a business day during business hours!

The prank is the fact that it’s not a joke! They really decided this for some reason!

Managers decided that the support contract with one of our most important third party servers is not worth the money.

Take a guess which server caused an outage for all customers twice already :D

Another unfriendly chat bot on a paid landingpage supposed to acquire new customers in 2025:

Chatbot: Do you require support with existing products or are you looking to renew/purchase services?
User: do you offer vserver plans
Chatbot: Sorry. To best assist you, please select one of the options below.
User: thats not the way to acquire new customers
Chatbot: Sorry. To best assist you, please select one of the options below.

Windows imgae viewer is a fucking spamming bloatware.

We rolled out yesterday a new update out to our Desktop application. The goal was to do it last weekend but we failed for reasons. The update is a success and now we (devs, project manager, QA, COO, support) got an angry email from our CEO, he mentioned:
- He is very disappointed in the whole process
- we released it without a coordinated marketing campaign
- That the devs should have communicated to the customers
- That the devs should have communicated internally more
- That support is getting a lot of new support tickets. I asked support, they counted 0 for this product in the last 7 days.
- Asked us to self-reflect how we can improve.

My project manager (who is currently on paternity leave) responded with an angry email to defend the dev team and pointed out that the CEO fired the marketing guy (again). The deadline is here for months, that the CEO literally ran the update locally and sold the update to new customers. He also called the CEO "lack of self awareness" and "not understanding the update process" and "disappointed in this approach". He also said that he asked the developers not to respond to the email.

Love me some drama between higher-ups

The Q&A section on https://learn.microsoft.com/ is freaking USELESS!

Every question is answered with a wall of text that is 100% irrelevant and I'm pretty sure it's AI-generated

The VSCode material theme extension (extremely popular) has been found to be (potentially, but likely) malicious, and not only that, but the fucker that maintains it is a sleezy slimeball, too.

I was listening to an interesting lecture recording, but threw the entire thing out the window once my "umm" meter ran out and gave errors.

Stop saying "umm" in every fucking sentence! 🤬

Google Assistant got replaced by Gemini on my phone. What used to work before, me saying "Hey Google, set an alarm for 5 pm" doesn't work anymore.

"I am only a language model so I can't help you with that" is the default response.

Does big tech not like the idea of things working fine and smooth?

If shittthesame:
Goto fuckthisshit

Fuckthisshit:
Print("yo!")

The second Deepseek released as open-source, America started to try to pass a law that makes it's usage illegal and punishable upto a million dollars and 20 years in jail.
