I once spent a full month browsing the internet and doing fuck all. When they eventually noticed and laid down the law threatening me. I resigned. I’d already started working my self employment, just needed to cover another months salary. I fucking won that one. No cunt gets the better of me!3

Survived my second layoff at this company in less than 2 years. Feeling bitter sweet.
When I joined there was about 50 people here and now there is a little more than 15.
I think the way this company has done the layoffs have been humiliating to the people getting laid off. The “higher ups” will request that everybody be in the office for a company-wide meeting around noon. Then at around 11am that day, they will individual take people into conference rooms and lay them off. By the time the company-wide meeting starts, they’ve laid off all the people they needed.
Why lay people off infront of the whole rest of the company? I don’t see any reason5 -
Divide and conquer is a brilliant form of control. There are entities that benefit from making us fight each other, no matter the reason. From choosing a Linux distro to choosing a political party: everything goes.
If you hate JavaScript, hug your fellow JavaScript developer today. Tell them they're doing good.
Spread peace and unity. Let peace forever hold her way over the Earth.4 -
Spent 3 days in a santorium. With my fam.
Didn't rest a bit [with temporary exceptions of evenenings where I did get to relax in a steam bath [50C, 99%] followed by ice cold water bucket].
Not looking forward for the monday. At all.2 -
After years of back-end development there's a thing which keeps bugging me: how little "interactive" the development process can be.
When I did front-end I took for granted that the application I was developing was easy to run so I could immediately test any little change I do on code but on back-end this is rare to see: you develop with tons of external dependencies (authentications, VPNs, databases...) so getting your application up and running can be an huge hassle and testing API controllers can be slow and frustrating since I have to continuously juggle multiple development environments, manually regenerate tokens, do guesswork to find which parameters you have to use for your API request, maintain my Postman/Insomnia HTTP calls collection to prevent it from turning into an unusable spaghetti mess... lots of repetitive tasks which kills my focus and makes me struggle in getting into a decent flow.
Automated testing has lot of potential in helping with that but its hard to introduce when you're rewriting a legacy sistem and you're already exceeded your budget.
I wonder if I'll keep doing back-end once I'm done with this project.11 -

Now i fucking understand why nextjs does not have any design patterns. No folder structure for it either. Every project is fucking random and you need to learn every fucking project from scratch cause people stuff shit into different folders and file names1 -
Praying to every deity, I begged to spare me, to never kill my inner child. To never make me grow up into materialistic mindset that punishes curiosity and denies miracles.
It seems like my wish was granted. Am I naive? Sure. Do I have kid ego? Sometimes.
But I never wanted to be someone else.4 -
Currently doing algebra to work out which of 2 slightly different functions is wrong and all this tells me is that both are crap.1

I AM SO TIRED. I'm tired of this fucking shit, my marriage and relationships with my kids is great but my work is so rocky right now, nothing is stable.5

Dear ArangoDB,
please invest in your product, instead of brainfarts from a marketing intern.2 -
Dual ported RAM is somethin i kinda theorised to exist. And since today i know it does.
For those unaware: Its RAM that can be acessed via two address and data lines combined and with hardware semaphores.1 -
Oof, I think I figured out why I'm frustrated with work stuff (not the actual work, just processes that surround it).
Project manager is an ESTJ and I'm INTJ. Our communication styles clash. Too much asinine processes to "make things efficient."
They need too much detail and don't understand what I am saying, I get annoyed with being bossed to the point of providing what I consider irrelevant, excessive details in a technical manner that they don't understand, because they're not a programmer, but insist on being provided these details. I know I just confuse people when I am forced to be as detailed as humanly possible. I don my best to summarise an issue in enough detail to help someone understand.
I've done some googling and saw some posts on Quora and reddit about people having similar issues, so it must be a thing?
It's so tiring. I don't know what to do. We've done MBTI workshops at work, because the company I work for sells MBTI assessments, but we've never gone in depth, and I've asked my manager if we can.3 -
Ah yes, me turning on my laptop.
Of course, this process needs 100% of the CPU, overclock the fans and make it sound like a F16 fighter jet, use up all of my 32 GBs of RAM and loan another 120 GB RAM from the bank under my name.5 -
People at work found out Teams in a nightmare and really screws with your normal email address processing. They also found out it isn't free with the shit tier of Office (or wherever it is bundled). So for everyone but sales there is no Teams. Whew... However, for the tech dudes: electrical and software we made a custom Discord server. Of course my avatar is "trolling DiCaprio".
Some technical and some not work stuff has gone on with this server. Kind of gives the tech people a place to talk and joke.
devdude: Apologies that I saw this (some question I had) too late to prevent you from walking upstairs.
me: oh, the exercise trauma!
devdude: it's 2024 and we still have to walk up and down stairs
me: I was expecting flying chairs like on Wall-E
devdude: Me too! that's why I put on this much weight so I can be prepared for when the chair finally is here.
me: That is the exact opposite of helping this tech along.
Another thing I noticed about my work place. The BMI of employees seems to increase the closer to a break room you get. The company is fond of bringing donuts periodically. Coincidence I am sure. The problem is I am right next to the break room... Yes, my BMI went up a bit when I moved to my new desk. Before I was much further away. Now I am on a low carb diet. I am going to break the stats damn it!3
