I find your lack of capitalism to be... disturbing

I actually think that auto-completing pull requests with any merge strategy other than fast-forward is completely insane. WTF do you mean the final version of the code is produced with no humans present?

We need to come up with a coding version of this. Where is a place that coders fight all the time? Some place notorious for this? We fight here, but I wouldn't compare devrant to a waffle house.

skipped my meds yesterday night by accident and just got the best sleep I've had in a month. yeah fuck these things

and they lied to me and told me they were sleeping meds the first time even tho that was unnecessary to be doing and they're not prescribed for sleep

I hate the medical field. that's so fucking gross

This place became a botRant?

My phone broke a few months ago and when I went to a local retailer. All their phone specification and the price were locked behind a QR-code. You could not make an educated purchase lol

Who was the idiot that thought this was a good idea.

just had my annual review. it felt like parsing a poorly formed JSON response.
{
"name": "Me",
"metrics_met": true,
"innovative_solutions": null,
"complex_problems_solved": undefined,
"mentorship_provided": null,
"overall_feedback": "excellent, good job, Keep up the good work."
}
all the real work—the late-night debugging, the patient mentoring of the junior dev, the architectural insight that saved us from a rewrite, it all just gets returned as null or undefined.
the system only has fields for the stuff that's easy to measure, not the stuff that actually matters. my career is being evaluated by a broken API.
i'm gonna start writing my own damn API documentation for my brain. at least then the payload would be accurate.

How would it change your working behavior if you get about 5% shares of the company you are working at?

The reason why CS graduates don't make the big bucks is that they do not learn how to configure CI pipelines for gitlab in university.

What's your favorite letter? Mine is Z. It have a fascinating history. it was originally an S, but it became edgy and angular.

GRAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH POOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

That's just my frustration with SourceTree.

This is a story all about how my SourceTree got twisted upside down, and I'd like to take a minute to just sit right there and tell you how I pushed my code to my repository on GitHub:

Iiiiiin my SourceTree, born and raised, I checked out my branch, tried to push but SourceTree said: "See ya later!" (denied/authentication failed). Sssoooo I told myself I was not going to use ChatGPT to solve this problem. I was going to use my Medior skillzzzz1!1!1!Oen and so I did solve it, but what a fucking hassle!

First I tried to remove all credentials from SourceTree and from my system, then I tried to add a fine-grained PAT, and finally... someone mentioned on StackOverflow that it was the git version that was oudated. So, SourceTree has an outdated embedded git, even on the latest version. Wtf?! Anyway, so I let it choose system git (which uses the latest git version).

And now it works!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

tailwind is trash holy crap.

every div element contains like 30 classes that have their own thing going for them.

just start writing inline css at that point. Why bother putting classes in?

Inspired by netikras leg hair story reminded me of another hair story.

I was training to maintain a Bailey DCS system about 15 years ago. So I was working with the consoles and learning the software. My mentor at the time was talking to me about this. He was a heavy set fellow with a Phd in control theory. His eyes kind of naturally stuck out of his face a bit. I assume blood pressure of some sort.

mentor: "Hey, I can see you have working on the consoles on the system."

me: "How is that?"

mentor: "I found a curly hair." (I have curly hair when it gets longer.)

me: <me, saying this very slowly and deliberately> "How...curly...was...it?"

At this point he started laughing by rapidly blowing air out of his nose, his eyes bulged out further, he kept his mouth mostly closed. He was trying to be professional and not laugh at such base joke.

me: "I mean if its really curly it could be anyone."

Then he lost it and started laughing out loud. We never spoke about it ever again.

What is up with spam in Stories? This is devrant not fucking FB/Linkedin.

So today I have been feeling some sort of weird anxiety. Way beyond normal. It has slowly been building all day. Right now my ears feel hot, any kind of deviation from what I expect causes me to feel those anxiety pangs as I deal with this event. Driving has felt somewhat surreal today. I felt like I was in control the whole time, but cars being next to me made me extra jumpy.

I assume this is some kind of chemical shit going on that I don't understand. Just wish I knew what was causing this shit.

I feel behind at work and found out I have some rando elevated liver function going on. Nothing I can't logic myself through. What I am feeling does not feel proportionate to what is happening in my life right now.

In Kotlin, I love sealed classes. They're beautiful. The compiler knows every possible subtype. When you use a when expression, it forces you to handle every single case. It's a closed, predictable, and exhaustive world. You can't have a random, unexpected state popping up at runtime.Then I look at my career. My path isn't a neat set of predefined subclasses like JuniorDev, SeniorDev, TeamLead. It's a chaotic mess of SideProjectThatBecameCritical, AccidentalSysAdmin, TemporaryScrumMaster, and ThatTimeIFixedThePrinter.The "when" expression of my professional life has a million unhandled branches and the compiler is screaming at me that there's no else block.
I just want a way to document all these weird, unexpected states so they look less like a series of runtime errors and more like a feature set.

So - as expected - I've eventually been forced to downgrade my job laptop to Windows 11. What a fucking ridiculous piece of bloatware. It's the worst OS since Vista (which in Latvian means chicken = some sort of poultry, like turkey, which is kalkon in Swedish, also meaning inferior, e.g. "kalkonoperativ" = chicken shit OS).

UUIDs are good passwords.

Someone's slack status shows them as in a meeting until 3:42 and that's just such an oddly specific meeting end time.

I'm done with the black market. Now i'm ordering my weed from silk road

Bonus I can get some 2cb and have a psychedelic trip in the wood. My shitty weed deala dont even have 2cb. It's a connoisseur drug. Nobody knows about it. One time I got caught at the airport in the chemical detector and I'm pretty sure the border patrol agent knew what it was but he still let me go.

EpiPen's patent expires in September 2025.

have you tried just not murdering it in the first place tho

So I have started looking into torrenting anime. In the past I just did it and didn't worry about it. But I have been hearing about internet carriers cracking down on this. Apparently my ISP has a tiered approach to this. They will notify and escalate all the way up to account termination. So I found that interesting. But that is not is what is most interesting. The interesting part was the AI response when I searched if my ISP will do anything:

What to do if you receive a DMCA notice:

1. Review the notice: Identify the copyrighted content in question.

2. Stop the infringing activity: Remove the infringing content from your devices and stop sharing it.

3. Consider a VPN and private trackers: This can help prevent future notices.

4. Contact CenturyLink: If you receive a notice, you may need to contact CenturyLink to confirm receipt or discuss the issue.

So with 3, the AI casually tells me how to continue breaking the law. lol

Log#3, Day 13, I'm starting to create a connection with claude code, I see it struggling with the same shitty code I wrote, I see his remarks on the difficulty debuging the IOS, he is one of us.

I might be losing my mind

micortears in brain
guy is repeatedly aghast at the damage and genuinely worried about me every time
lol

Again, Atlassian products don't work in Firefox.
Dunno who's to blame - Atlassian or Mozilla. All I know is this sucks! Can't stand Edge and the sorts.

What is your side project that you have been working on?

Wow there's a new season of king of the hill
