Why 95%+ devs are bad ???
Just did a recruitement for a post opf Principal Engeneer with possibuility to be CTO.
375 candidats at first interview.
Only 8 remaining for second phase
Our of 8, only 3 managed to complete a small code test.
Outr of 3, one asked for (I shit you not) 700k$ salary (lolz).
Out of 2 remaining, 1 just decided "I did for lolz to see if I get an offer so I can boost my current work salary",
Leaving us with only 1 candidate...
So fucking time consuming.....15 -
Have you ever been pair coding with someone who uses shotgun debugging? I am about to claw my eyes out! What is shotgun debugging you ask?
Code doesn't work... What do we do?
I start thinking about possible flow, how to go back to what works, where to insert debugging statements. My partner interrupts my thought and says - what if we change this variable name?
...uh what?
What if that fixes it
It won't!
Well how do you know if you don't try?
I change the variable name - of course nothing works and now I forgot the possible solution I was thinking about...
Starting over... I again start coming close to the idea... Interrupts me again. What if we comment out this random line?
Why what's your reasoning?
Answer: *Shrug* idk might work...
...rinse and repeat
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???!
I literally started muting my computer sound so I can not hear him while I think and that helps tremendously. This is programming not magic, people!!! Stop throwing random "what if" suggestions!5 -
I'm trying to stand up a docker container to read a storage queue with dotnet and invoke ffmpeg to convert some videos. For a whole day I fought with this wrapper (FFMpegCore) which kept throwing file not found errors on the ffmpeg binary itself. Locally (windows) it worked fine.
I spent a ton of time trying to install the Debian package, trying to add it to the path manually, trying to just use the wrapper just to generate the arguments I wanted (I'm not an ffmpeg pro, so the fluent API the wrapper has is super useful) and running it manually, nothing worked. Finally, I realized it wasn't getting to the part where I ran it manually: just using the fluent API to get the arguments was invoking ffmpeg and throwing.
I took away the wrapper completely, start ffmpeg manually and it works...
Ay carumba. Things just can't be easy.1 -
- Hey, I need to do X and I need your department to do it.
- "We can't do X, this is against company policy!"
- Oh, sorry, I didn't know. But I will have to justify it to my boss, can you point me to where in the policy it says you can't do X?
- "No I can't, it won't be there. It is just common sense"
- Wait, what? You saying you can't do something because it is against the company policy even though there is no restriction against it in company policy?!
- "Other companies don't do it either"
- I will need you to say that in writing, I need to explain it to my boss.
- "Our email server is FUBAR"
- It can be hand-written
- "I can't give a declaration in name of my department!"
- Wait, so you can interpret company policy any way you want, make decisions regardless of what the policy actually says but you can't own up to it in writing?!?
- "..."
- ...
(Some context: I've been emailing them about X for more than a week. Just got crickets for a response. Not even an evasive coward response, just no answer at all. And calling them leaves no paper trail. Fucking oxygen thiefs)
For fuck sake, are non-tech departments always filled with complete morons?!? Does anyone have ever worked with smart, or at least minimally-coherent non-tech people?!?!
Seriously, does anyone there have some story about some non-stupid non-tech/analog/muggle coworker?!?
I'm inclined to think that anyone who can think systematically is either working in tech or not working at all. -
Seeing just how well ansible works to set up Arch is kinda scary, i wrote my playbook almost a year ago and it still works perfectly (after i renamed some packages)
And this is not even how you are *supposed* to use ansible, i am kinda abusing the system by only running it locally...
This is just reinforcing my Bash-hating bias even more: bash scripts are a terrible solution to 99% of problems, and the language is frankly shit.
Back to Ansible.
The fact that operations are idempotent is *such* a game changer, too: I can just write some extra roles to automate other stuff i can never remember, like setting up those darned wine/Lutris dependencies -
fuckin parents. I figured mine was a rare fuck up case, but here's this kid, lucky, real lucky one, she was. Got treatment for her autism real early, 5 year old young.
But hey, mama can't have no "defective" cub, "oh no" and so, just yesterday, I was told 'bout how that shit went.
Kid did get that early onset treatment -- fuck! I wish I had! -- psychiatric meds and all.
Got all better, all tidy, jaw dropping grades, oh yeah, stopped breaking and tearing and cursing, started acting less like Pazuzu and more like Reagan, hells yeah!
Here's where that dark twist hits the floor:
Mom's like alright, she's better already, she don't need those meds no more! They too strong for mama's lil cub. Mama's gonna treat her baby with leaves and nature!!
Go figure, it seems it all went really well for while, or so here mama thought. Why? Well, just yesterday I got a message from a good friend of mine, who also happens to be that kid brand new psychiatrist. Having told me all of the above, it now seems that, left untreated, that girl's tiny bit of autism had fatten up so hard it birthed her a brand new friend: Borderline Personality Disorder.
Now, I don't know about y'all, but autism's meds are basically fire and forget, but Borderline? Nope, Borderline's like self-rewriting malware, there's no sure way to fix it but a fresh install. So yeah, kid's fucked.
But hey, at least, there's a silver lining, mama's fucked too cuz her kid's gonna raise hell, her meds gonna raise hell...
The catch? Patch your shit, but don't dare take out that patch1 -
Hello chat, i have a rant about devrant.
https://devrant.com/rants/10623517/...
I am sick and tired of tired dolts who think they can rant of their failures on here on here as if that will somehow make u a hero. It just shows how much of failure you are, and how you messed up so royally.
It gets to the point where idiots think they can rant of legitimate concerns like its going to somehow make them a hero. Just because you are a loser does not make you not a bone head.
Do i need an industrial auger to drill it thru your skulls?2 -

The process of recovering cryptocurrency that has been lost or stolen is usually very complex and time-consuming. There's never a simple solution. I came dangerously close to depression while trying to follow these procedures. In the end, though, I'm happy I figured out a solution. I was connected to a group of expert recovery agents that, among other things, specialize in victim reimbursement and online fraud recovery. It is extremely possible to recover if you work with a reputable, experienced organization. You can get your lost money back with the assistance of RECOVERYEXPERT, a skilled professional. His email address is RECOVERYEXPERT at RESCUETEAM. com.
