So, at my company we are migrating from "master" branch on github.

It's good to know we are defeating racism.

"our placeholder shows an @ symbol, but please don't use an @ symbol!"

i'm so happy knowing that the devs and designers who created this app are earning 20x what i am

I love when job postings are like, you will use THIS tool, and THIS is how it will be accomplished!!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

bitch, i'm the senior engineer, I should be the one picking and choosing tools to match your needs, not you and HR pals!

no wonder your job offer still isnt' filled!

i'd love to ask these organizations why they chose such boomer technologies in the first place and why there is no effort to change to much more developer / user friendly tools.... just a red flag from the start

how do you know your dumbass linting rules have gone overboard?

this is how

potential new client, immediately says:

"we have to get this website to number 1 on google as fast as possible!!!!!"

god why is it always the same

i'm tempted to ask, "great, no problem, do you have thousands to spend?"

i already know what the answer is

lol someone went systematically through my posts and downvoted each of them, i'm down like 200 points from weeks ago

"5 Ways I’m Using AI to Make Money in 2023" ok let's see... ah a members-only Medium post...

yep thats definitely one of the ways -_-

fuckin kill me i hate this

if people are curious of the PTSD baggage i'm carrying and why i rage so much at everything, see attached picture

granted, this was partly my fault, as i said, i was far too nice, and stayed for far too long

also note this job was AFTER a 2+ previous e-commerce job with ultimately failed project and little pay

UG i mean LOOK at this... i could go on and on for hours "push notifications must run" - yeah a casual bullet point that needs to be finished by end of day? hahahaha

if you're unemployed you can't get a house in 1000 years

but hey, there's good news

if you're employed you can get a house in 100 years

remember, to them, we're just cogs

PTSD: Getting messages again at 9PM on a friday: "do you have time for a call?"

no dude, I DONT!

IF I DIDNT ANSWER YOU DURING THE DAY ON A WEDNESDAY, WHY IN GODS NAME DO YOU THINK I WOULD RESPOND AT 9 PM ON A FRIDAY

imagine your ego being more important than doing something the right way

welcome to corporate hell

this is one of the top reasons (but of course definitely not the ONLY reason) i'll never join the rat race

the windows devs have really outdone themselves this time

so now i have to explain to customers how long a 30 day trial is...

do you guys know maybe, just maybe... HOW LONG A 30 DAY TRIAL IS?!?!?

BREAKING NEWS

A single full stack clown is far too forgiving for this world...

i'm now....

A FULL STACK CIRCUS!!!

🎟️🎪🤹‍♂️🎭🎡🤡

potential client, wondering why i don't answer any of his messages or calls: "I hope I haven't done anything wrong!?"

yeah dude, continually calling me MULTIPLE times after 5PM on friday (second friday in a row) is one way to "do something wrong"

these "business" types know no bounds

"Developer code must ensure that IAsyncDisposable implementations don't take a long time to complete."

Ah yes, the very technical "long time" unit of measurement. God why don't you just go fuck yourself microsoft

I love that its 2024, and yet sometimes you still have to delete the /bin and /obj folders from a C# project to remove build errors that are in fact, not build errors...

...and people here hate node.js / npm

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

but come on down in the comments all you C# worshippers and please enlighten me what I am doing wrong... definitely couldn't be C# right?

also explain why 'clean' must not REALLY mean clean 🤡

need to schedule a call with a guy from another branch at work. i tell him that because of the time zone shift, i can do earliest around noon his time (and that's being generous, thats really early for a dev my time)

and of course, what does he turn around and do? sends me a meeting for 3 AM...

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

i can't be the one with mental illness right?

perhaps the thing to do is just go around being so fucking ignorant you're just blissfully happy at all times

seen on hacker news:

"I have applied to 600 software dev jobs in 2/3 months and have had around 8 interviews but still no dice.
reply"

jesus i'm going to give up now. i'd rather be homeless than mindlessly wasting my time

I've been ghosted by more companies than women at this point

you wanna know what the most hilarious shit is? hackernews users AKA the 6 figure startup bros that "rule the world" in terms of code and software...

trying to argue the best way to build a website 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

here's some select quotes:

"I believe the most minimalistic and productive way is to just use php"

^ this guy must not know its 2023 now

"Unless you are a web developer I don't see the point of a CSS framework, it's much easier to roll your own."

^ this guy must not know the pain and suffering that is 'rolling your own' in CSS

"Sadly, I just don't have the time to generate the content I wanted to do, so the site sits."

^ this guy just... wait, what?

but you know what? these guys clearly know WAY more than me in terms of software, it's good they get infinite salad bar and prime rib every day at silicon valley's best and brightest!

please fucking kill me i want it to end

nothing will be done, because nothing is clearly defined

lol

🤡

alright, i give up

i'm just going to have to work the rest of my life

the government takes nearly half of everything you do anyway.

income from your saas? taxed.

risked and stressed earned profits from intraday trading? taxed.

money chilling getting interest in a savings account? taxed.

your 50+ hour work week salary? taxed.

but don't worry, houses start at an affordable 500K

i want to write my damn notes

another day another downvote to 0 on a stackoverflow post of a bug that is confirmed and reproducible

jesus christ is there a single pdf editor where i don't have to pay some money to use for something i could download from github right now

🤡🤡🤡

every project leader's project is the most important!!!!!!!! not the others!!!!

fullstackclown! do this now!!!!!!

it's apes trying to impress apes, all the way down

the real truth is that web dev has been running around in circles on itself for over a decade now

"but every framework is 'new' and 'shiny'!!!!"

nah, just more sugar on the same exact concepts that have been around since day 1

GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF A SINGLE FUCKING JOB REPLACED BY AI

JUST ONE

fucking rubes, touching around on their stupid iphone and laptop, pretty lights, colors, and sounds

"wow AI the future"

that's what most of reddit is to me

shut the fuck up

link to unrelated documentation is accepted answer on stackoverflow

fuck you

wow. truly revolutionary. AI will end world hunger, solve cancer, and so much more

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

huge confession bear...

i just learned what set -e does in bash

i've been using logical and (&&) this whole time

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

i have become what i hate 🤡🤡🤡

hey yahoo why don't you just go fuck yourself

you literally can't make this stuff up

2024: year of the fever dream

daily reminder (most of you don't need it i know) that reddit is full of the most ignorant and dumb people on the planet

thought i could hop into comments on a /r/worldnews post for interesting discussion and discourse, no, its just idiotic neckbeards trying to one up eachother on painfully cringe doomer phrases and / or who can get the most upvotes from their godawful dumbass pun

what a fuckin cesspool

and they wonder why the world is going to shit

fuck it; at 10K updoots i'll reveal my identity

then everyone will know i'm a closet psychopath

it may be risky!

it may be ruinious to my career!

let's do it!

Let me begin by saying I knew the jist of the announcment before even reading the CeO's LeTteR... though it's comically and ironically far worse than I could have even expected

this is absolutely an 100% genuine rant from the bottom of my heart

Just go absolutely fuck yourself, your devs, and your entire org. Imma call it right now and say Udemy as a company won't be around in a mere 10 years. (easy to say this actually; the average lifetime of a company in general on the stock market is 18 years, with a garbage shit pile like Udemy i can guarantee its less than that)

oh, but their stock was up 38% on friday on good earnings... wonder how they did that

"But why!?!?!? Why are all creators going to tiktok and youtube?!?!?" - Udemy CEO mouthbreather

stupid fuck, maybe take a lesson from a 1st grader and get educated

people think devs are bad? Oh, its about to get a whole lot worse. there's no motivation anymore for skilled devs to build valuable courses, more and more junior devs using outdated spit out shit information from IdiotGPT, and a destruction of number of people on stackoverflow, asking the same 10 questions over and over again...

oh how the times have changed...

welcome to the first day of the rest of your life

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

so now they've got me taking aptitude tests

like a little lab rat 🐁

🤡

tune in next week to find out my next foray in the idiotic hiring slop world of death

"On September 1, 2023, the domains registry for .COM and .XYZ will implement universal price increases of up to 9% for .COM renewals, and up to 9% for .XYZ renewals, registrations, and transfers."

sigh.

so now they even have a name for not being an idiot...

its called a "composible" architecture as apposed to a "monolith"

what if i told you it's all the same?

(i'll even throw in a bonus and say that a "microservice" architecture is still a monolith - because you need all your damn microservices working together for the full product or service anyway!!! and thats a monolith!!!!)

wow, you've "decoupled" your frontend from your backend? with this fancy thing called an "API"? well, what the hell else was anyone doing in the past decade? ITS THE SAME THING YOU DUMBASS

god i swear its 🤡 all the way down, just inventing new words for the same thing over and over again. idiots. idiots everywhere

i'm just so happy we have "composible" architectures now ❤️ thank god for that

here i go again, trying to convert my entire backend infrastructure to docker images on a sunday

FML

🤡

I've built multiple profitable SaaS apps in my career, from scratch, by myself...

...but it's sure damn important to know wether fucking Cindy or Bob or neither can fit into a parking lot after muddling through stupid obtrusive rules that don't mean anything

"its to understand how you think"

yep, clearly don't know how to do that, that's why i'm taking this labrat, i mean, cognitive test

🐀🤡🐀🤡🐀🤡🐀🤡🐀🤡🐀🤡

so there is this guy on blind network who makes half a million per year... and he is worried about his job "since it might be automated away" and he is looking to switch career paths!!!!

mind boggling that a "software engineer" with that type of pay hasn't recognized that LLMs are all hype and no bite

wild

it's insane to me that people making more money in a year than i've made in my decade career know little to nothing about software

what an absolute insane time to be alive

its absolutely insane to me how many orgs out there have a "oh we don't know what that does, but don't touch it" peice of software

holy fuck, UFOs are now moving to the "mainstream discourse"?????

yes, just like AI, world's ending, all the jobs are gone!!!

just like covid (remember that one?) world's over, we all died!

let me repeat it for you:

shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up
shut the fuck up

what the fuck went wrong with the vast majority of people along the way????

i'm going to the mountains, i'll be back...

never

inb4 "have some creativity fullstackclown!" "isn't it cool to think about?!"

shut up, using your fucking head that is a result of millions of years of evolution seems much more exciting than taking 4 grainy ass videos as truth and getting hyped up about it

show me a shred of valid evidence and i'll believe. however, evidence does NOT include:

- some big wig CLAIMING or SAYING they exist, regardless of their credentials - i don't care if fucking honest abe lincoln himself rises from the grave and says UFOs are real
- a photo or video that looks like it was taken in the 1920s

Holy shit! Since when was mongodb a publicly trading company... and 272 a share wtfffff

seems like i gotta start a non ACID database company sometime soon!

will work for food

pls help

hilarious to me that people will resent a language or framework for a handful of quirks or "unique" patterns

yeah, give me a language or framework that doesn't

what percentage of these dune hipsters haven't read a SINGLE word of any of the 6 books in the dune series (yes drooling losers, there are 6 of them)

FullStackCircus Principle™

today i said i had holiday until the new year and wouldn't open a code editor until then

and here i am 5 hours later looking at advent of code challenges, trying to do them in rust

🤓🤡🤓🤡🤓🤡🤓🤡🤓🤡🤓🤡🤓🤡

also screw them for discouraging AI. if a tool can help me learn a new language faster i'm using it

linkedin recruiter asking for my email...

cmon dude... its on my profile...

i mean do we even exist anymore

🤡

you know, i've got 5K+ in cash savings before i would even need to dip into "long term" retirement funds

and other than the food and the drink, i don't spend anything (can scrape by on 1-2K per month)

so fuck it, i'm going to enjoy the amazing weather that is everywhere in europe right now

if companies are going to be assholes, i am too

because in the long run i know my skills and vast competances are valuable

companies can hire the cheap clueless scrub in the shortrun

but i know i'll win in the long run when they realize who they are trying to hire does not exist

what's even one year of being unemployed against a lifetime of opportunity and projects? nothing.

ah udemy updating their "terms and conditions" on how they do revenue sharing... either the corp or the creator is going to get fucked... can you guess which one?

and no i don't want to read a dumbass letter from your dumbass CEO to find out how your going to fuck me... shame that your org has to hide it that way

just give me the brass tax you robber barons

jesus christ a fucking company funded at 110 million A seed round can't figure out why i'm still getting charged despite the fact that I unsubbed in fucking april

...and they're using stripe!

i've been using stripe with my SaaS for 3 years and never had an issue with a single customer - if they don't unsub themselves, they email me and ask me to do it for them, done.

fuck the world fuck everyone

i just really don't have the motivation or inspiration to do anything anymore

call it ego but this isn't fucking rocket science

TIL the ` character is known as the 'grave' character

meanwhile my 🤡 ass has been calling it 'back tick' this whole time...

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

my life: dealing with shitty bullshit technologies to scrape together some money so i'll be able to retire for a few years before i die

🤡

I swear a year long+ (or permanant) sabbatical is on the horizon, I'm utterly sick of this shit

remember that company that ghosted me after I spent 2 hours taking 2 "aptitude" tests for them?

or the EIGHT HOUR challenge I wasted my time on because the guy said I didn't know enough redux, even though they were the ones completely overcomplicating (and frankly bastardizing) its usage? oh also imagine using sagas in 2023... fucking 🤡clowns🤡 get with the program, glad i wasnt hired by you, good luck finding a competant dev

yeah, was good times...

just a reminder

if you think your 500 line python script with garbage hardcode values everywhere that brittly functions even for you is going to bring you thousands in subscriptions

fuck you

the more i think about the effort i've poured into various projects and products over the years, for clients or my own, and how little its payed overall... its quite depressing (people probably understimate, but i'm talking years upon years, not all at at time, but month spurts where i'd be done for the day at 7 PM or later) 12 hour days are easy to hit quickly when you are cranking out software

if you need an application requirement i've probably built it before, probably most of them twice

everyone tells me "it will pay off in the long run!" or "its great you have so much experience and built those different things!"

great to say, but i'm not getting payed for it / see no benefit from it

not fun to think about

and every place i go i know its gonna be filled with the workaday dev bros who are just there for the paycheck, have no passion, and who don't even know what TypeScript is (true story about that TypeScript one, i shit you not, occured only last year, and the guy is a frontend dev)

😩😩😩

where do i belong devrant?

oh boy, here we go again, another hacker news "who is hiring" thread... can't wait to be ghosted / ignored by a dozen+ companies...

we're seriously still using EPS files in 2024?

i don't have tooling for this BECAUSE I'M NOT A FUCKING BOOMER!

hey, i've got an idea

let's make the package format for browsers completely different than that of backend projects

fucking brilliant!

imagine thinking the future of llms / ai lies with yet another garbage python tool

reality truly is stranger than fiction

the year is 2050. yet another shitty 'note taking app' has be released by New Generic Shitty HypeBro Company™

still none have been profitable

🤡

stackoverflow lol

man you can tell some of these course selling companies are poorly managed (or rather, perhaps NOT managed) when you have to do the same thing over and over again for over TWO YEARS

HELLOOOOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING... PLEASE PUBLISH MY COURSE NOW

if i'd put the damn thing on Udemy when it was done i'd already be 2-3K richer

...damn, i gotta taper off here with the rage before i reveal my identity at 10K

Imagine installing the LinkedIn mobile app.

I've reached an all-time low.

paypal, a company that literally makes BILLIONS per year, is going to make mit SIT and WAIT for a meager 1 year CSV transaction report printout

namecheap doesn't trim the space in the OTP code when you submit it...

if you manually delete the space, it goes through

i mean, it's the little things

anybody just love those oPeN sOuRcE libraries that COMPLETELY change their libraries syntax on a minor version change? like bro, do you even semver?

i've said it once and i'll say it again: open source will be the death of me

love people who comment on shit (blog, website, saas product) when they have never built anything of the sort themselves

🤡

well folks, i've truly seen it all. an impressive an informative post on all there is to know about TypeScript, about time, since it's only 2023 and I've been waiting for this for so long!

...

"note: the syntax" 😂

remember that at the end of the day, this guy is employed, and i am not...

in all seriousness though, it's mind boggling to me these companies that market themselves as software or developer companies (or "professional" developers themselves) STILL aren't building their web apps using TypeScript

inb4 javascript maximalists / purists - come back after you've built and had to maintain multiple 10K LOC webapps and tell me that typescript didn't help you

🤡🌎🤡🌎🤡🌎🤡🌎🤡🌎

stackoverflow should just be called pythonoverflow

because that's all it is, scrub / lazy wannabe "programmers" asking basic python questions they could find the answer to in 5 minutes on google if they made even the smallest amount of effort

sorry i'm not sorry, i asked my first stackoverflow question 3-5 years after I started my career. it's not a helpdesk the moment you encounter an error with your code or have a question about it

import classNames from "classnames";

imagine installing, importing, and using a package that is solved quite literally by built in parts of the language

yawn

i grow weary

oh great, now turbotax's charity contribution section is bugged and i'm like 1/10th through the way through
