nice, 10k reached before sidtheitclown! (that’s all that actually matters, heh)

so, yes, as promised it’s me… chris from chris’ full stack blog.

I think kiki knew this, as I used to be called fullstackchris… though very briefly... don't know why i was ever worried about the old clowns i used to work for knowing my identity here

i’m a host of react round up, and also an ex-futures trader (that life is / was hidden on Twitter), I’ve recently quit because I’m ALSO still building 4ish SaaS products including The Wheel Screener (wheelscreener.com) and CodeVideo (codevideo.io), over my LLC, Full Stack Craft (fullstackcraft.com)

oh yeah, and on top of that i have a full time job in Switzerland (read: not poor boi 38 or 40 hour work week, 42 minimum)

so yeah, its a fucking lot of shit to do and sometimes it’s too much! glad i have this place to vent

so, don’t be too harsh on me… really, 99% of my bitterness comes from the approximate 5 years of my working life (2018-2023) were taken from me by lying business folk type who actually didn’t know what the FUCK they were doing or talking about, even after promising me they did (at two different companies). Listen, I’m all for people telling me iTs a RiSkY VeNTuRe; i get it. But if you say everything is rock solid (like funding, my future employment, etc.) and it is not, then fuck you; you’re just lying to my face, it has nothing to with management vs employee, engineer vs. non-technical - you’re literally just a *bad person* (sorry, mechanical engineering genes and honesty to the core - sue me) To be sure, I was partially at fault - too optimistic, and too gullible, and I’ve have since learned my lesson. but still working on it. (obviously)

but things are look up - my company is running better than ever, the current job is great with insanely smart people

In the end, it’s always the hardcore engineers who are the most honest, hardworking, respectful, and the best to work with - you people know who you are…

Until then… see you in the next rant!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

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)

I'm guessing > 90%

wow congrats you watched a 2 hour film, make it your entire identity 🤡

god the world has become ever decreasing cycles of cringe... they will decrease in time length until we reach unending - and therefore infinite - cringe

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

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

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

does anyone else find it wild that there are hundreds or even thousands of products you've never heard of with over $1M+ ARR? this is just mind boggling to me

i'm starting to hate the whole goddamn thing

hating making "content"

hating making "posts"

hating the goddamn screen

hating doing shit that doesn't matter

i want to just do a 3 month sabbatical in indonesia or somewhere... where i just don't have to think or at least put on a facade that i'm thinking

i think i mentioned the last times i took holiday... well let's get started on the last time i took holiday for more than two weeks... uh that would have to be 2019

fuck covid fuck the profit motive fuck chasing everything i quit

ugh

people who write one word commit messages

i'm one of 10,000 ultra-rich fuckwads who lives in the sAnFraNsiScO bAy aReA

its crazy that people earn less than 300K per month!

but i spit around the word "state actor" because i once wrote a for loop that retrieves customer emails from a CSV!

hacker news dumb fucks, all of them

they need to go eat more salad at the meta headquarters

no wonder their jobs are at risk 😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡

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

let's do it!

ESM + Jest + TypeScript = suffering

you fear what you don't understand.

cringe.

oh look, another amazing location that i'll never get to on the windows lock screen

no fucking documentation

no fucking explaination

and your example doesn't even work

let's just run around in circles until we all die

waiting to exit this 🤡 world

yeah, i know, everyone is like "why can't you chill more"

because this what we are stuck doing 8-9 hour a day!!!!!! this is literally our lives just wasting away!!!! and it's not even fun anymore; you can't enjoy it if everyone is so fucking incompetant any step at being productive is fucking battle

god so sick of it

this time i'm writing down the fucking dumbass docker nginx configuration and pasting on my forehead

every fucking time some letter or IP address is wrong.

just installing the standalone nginx that actually works every fucking time and doesn't pull some idiotic docker shit on me

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

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

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

kikis probably right

i'm a pathetic addict

the problem is i never drink *quite* enough to do something *really* stupid

at my level any other rere would probably be doing something very destructive

but i'm not afforded such luxury

instead just 10+ drinks in on a saturday :/ (now sunday)

holy crap patch-package is such an amazing tool

i forget about it all the time

lovely when there is a dependency tree and one of the dependencies was last updated 7 years ago

🤡

god... fuckkkkk me, is this really what people think will make them money? these are really udemy's "opportunity"??? classes???? more like "death"

https://udemy.com/instructor/...

rest assured, we are safe as devs, don't listen to what the iNfLuEnCeRs say

i imagine the old start up bros attempting to get the software development they need just by prompting 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"chatGPT - ship this app to the store! google AND apple!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

they, like most clueless boomers and people who don't know shit, are totally lost for what the future holds. have fun.

in their benefit, at least they'll be ignorantly blissfully happy as they are spoonfed AI generated content to make themselves feel beter and important

meanwhile, the knowledgable and bitter devs will drink themselves to death in depression

god i fucking hate the internet

only one tag is needed

so my suspicions were correct... most projects were fake and i was selected as a finalist for that hacking project!!!

wahoooooooo

also, day 5 of not knowing how to mix ES and commonjs packages in node

dutifuly signed,

🤡

day 3 of not knowing how to mix usage of ES and commonjs modules on a node project

cheers to the cultured ones here

day 2 of still not knowing how to mix ES modules with commonjs on a node project

hey, i've got an idea

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

fucking brilliant!

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

in other news, i'm in a group of like 5 devs out of a thousand who actually have something to show for this hacking project that's been going on for two weeks now

most "project" links lead to empty github repos, half assed repos, or cloned repo templates / empty / useless READMEs

wouldn't be surprised if i see a fork of bitcoin submitted soon

oh wait that's litecoin

but, fake it till you make right?
