SidTheITGuy said I'm not flexing but I still have the ability to downvote posts/comments.,so, in latest news (source: trust me bro)

Intel cut off 15K employees from their workforce. But but but, they re-introduced free tea.

Win-Win, right?,I talk to myself a little too often. It makes sense, given that overthinking is what keeps me employed.

I am good with that. 

However, I've been finding myself in these 'thinking sessions' where I'm full on mouthing words and sometimes words come out and moving my hands around as if I am talking to someone in person. 

It worries me, what if I enter one of these moments and never be able to snap back into reality.

I'm going crazy, aren't I,I can't believe we've gotten to a stage of capitalism that saying "Employees need work-life balance" is controversial.,When I search for problems with npm libraries and StackOverflow's answer is 

"just downgrade the package to {VERSION} and it should work"

It makes me wanna die. How in the clusterfuck is that an acceptable solution?,You using the ChatGPT bot on devRant makes me feel like you have some sort of schizophrenia.,Some people deserve a high five.

On the face.

With a chair.,@retoor please tell your AI bot, that we don't need it to make 20 comments on every post. 

What the bot is doing is pretty great and cool, just let it be for that one task. It's role as a spam remover is fine, but giving it a 'human' like persona, where it starts acting like a real person chatting with ranters is downright creepy.

I'm not even joking.,Today, I have added a new achievement to my list.,If Indian scammers only had a tiny bit of patience with customers (victims), and practiced English accents, they'd become millionaires so easily.,It's nice to see people waking up and realizing the fallacies of AI.

Given that I've been against AI since day 1, it's giving me a little superiority complex ngl.,The spam filter bot lost it's downvote privileges, already.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Sigh.,I know self-promotion is not allowed here but I made a fun video I'm sure most of you would enjoy

Watch it here -> https://youtube.com/watch/...,We're living in a time where retoor and Buffon are fighting each other with bots. 

Truly one of the moments of all time.,!rant

I'm happy today realizing that 5 people decided to pay me for just saying my opinions on YouTube livestreams. 

I never could've imagined I'd be in a position where I'd be getting loyal fans for me just to talk to them and hear them out / answer their questions.

Makes my cold heart warm up a bit ngl.,Violence is never the answer.

It's a question.

The answer is Yes.,I once saw an accountant (might be > 60 years old), open up his Windows laptop. And on the home screen he right clicked and hit "Refresh" like 30 times, manually. 

I don't know why but I think about that every once in a while.,I do think sometimes, that many of the members here are missing out on millions of dollars and fame, just because they don't choose to be a YouTuber in the dev space.

Given the skill that you guys got, I can say with 100% confidence that y'all will make it. Some of you that I can think of are:

lorentz
Ranchonyx
Lensflare
atheist
kiki

I mean it, y'all are missing out on life-changing money.,Say what you want about spaghetti code written by either you yourself or other people, dealing with it is a massive requirement for becoming a dev.,npm install will-to-live --dev,Everybody's losing their mind on deepseek. But it's the same trash as ChatGPT.,Coding "podcasts" are really the worst thing on the internet right now.,I got pushed into coding in React by my client. They're paying me extremely nicely so I couldn't turn the offer away.

Next up is going to be FastAPI which I assume it's Python???? I haven't looked into it yet.

Guess I'm going from Laravel/NodeJS/MySQL stack to Python/React/PostgreSQL stack now.

I'll make sure to document my learning journey here.,Google Assistant got replaced by Gemini on my phone. What used to work before, me saying "Hey Google, set an alarm for 5 pm" doesn't work anymore. 

"I am only a language model so I can't help you with that" is the default response.

Does big tech not like the idea of things working fine and smooth?,I've never understood the corporate word "bi-weekly"

Like is it, two times a week? 

Or is it one time every two weeks?

Which is it ffs?,Now that kiki has taken the L from their "Starve to death challenge" 

I wanna start my own "STARVE To DEATH challenge"

I am gonna start the day with a bowl of milk and cereal, two apples and a protein shake.

Then for lunch I'm gonna eat a double cheese crust pizza with diet coke (duh)

For dinner I'm gonna eat a big bowl of mac and cheese and then before sleeping, I am gonna eat ice cream.

Good plan, right?,I'm officially at a point of writing software that I know this snippet of code will be absolute hell for the next developer to maintain.

Doesn't matter how well I document it, doesn't matter how well I break down the problem. 

The `why` of the problem is gonna drive the maintainer crazy later. The most dangerous part, it might as well be me in the coming months. 

RIP the next developer, who will have to maintain my spaghetti (includes me).,Hospitals creep the fuck outta me. The excess smell of Dettol makes me wonder how many people died within a 10 meter radius and if any of them are "lingering" around.,I saw a video today that claimed that the MOST STRESSFUL job in the world is ...

wait for it....

Midwife/Stay at home parent.

I lol'd at it. I just thought, can't they automate a bunch of their chores with say, roombas, dishwashers and washing machines?```
