I fucking love mint tin things. 10/10

I am deeply jealous

There was this one time during a sprint retrospective that our PM said we were gonna do an ice breaker. This was a year and a half into my employment, and nobody else on the team had been there for less than 2 years.

I fucked off for a good 20 minutes on my phone while they were talking about each other’s spirit animals.

I work on proprietary code for a living. I can confirm it is embarrassing.

Whenever I set something up I usually make a markdown file listing the commands and steps to take. I do this as I am setting things up and familiarizing myself, so once I’m done, I have a start to finish guide.

Raw text/markdown files will be readable until the end of time.

Nope. It was buried 300 lines into a 600 line C function.

The cherry on top was that testing at this place was all manually done on the hardware. And the “unit testing” comprised of making one off tests to prove line coverage, then throwing out the unit tests because the IDE we were using would have an aneurysm if it tried to open up existing unit tests.

I was the poor fuck tasked with writing throw away “unit testing” code for that bastard of a function. All of it was probably written before I was born.

1. Take from index 10 of the buffer, AND it with some hard-coded hex value.

2. Bit shift it by a hard-coded amount of 2

3. Do the first two steps, but with a different hard-coded index, hex value, and bit shift.

4. OR the two results.

5. Shove the result back into a buffer.

All of this is one line with no commenting or references to what the fuck this process comes from or why it is applicable. Then there was a second copy of the line, but with different hard-coded values.

Gonna be a run day at work today

The team lead has spend the last two months writing a permissions library that nobody understands how to use or debug. He wrote it with Cthulhu at his side. Soon not even Cthulhu will understand it.

I’ve been using it on linux as well, though I’ve been using godot script. I’m not the biggest fan of godot script, but again it gets the job done and has IMO very little bullshit.

While a good choice, I don’t feel warm and fuzzy about the prospect of being turned into some horror creature goop because I happened to walk down the wrong alley.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve touched it, but godot is always going to have my favor. It works very well, doesn’t have any bullshit.

I just need more motivation to finish my existing project, and keep the desire for a new one at bay.

The inverse of this should also be true. Just because my game occasionally takes a minute to get set up as I try one or two different versions of proton doesn’t mean I want to be told to switch to windows so I can get my data mined further.

If it’s a mom and pop store, then the right thing to do is notify them.

If it’s a corporation, fuck their soulless bullshit.

Good thing it doesn’t need to be $20, the corporate middleman leeches just need cut out of the equation.

Agreed. It’s time my occasional minecraft/PZomboid server got a nextcloud upgrade.

My parents have always been conservative, to the point where in high school I was very much the same because my dad would always play right wing radio on the drive to school.

I graduated high school and went to college, where I was no longer stuck in such an echo chamber, and I slowly stopped believing in that horseshit.

But my parents never left that bubble, and when Trump came around it got worse. We fought each other on it occasionally, but still had a relationship. Then Biden came, and things got slightly better. I was less anxious at the state of the world. I knew things were still fucked, but there was at least a glimmer of a shred of hope that the Trump era was fading, and at the very least it wasn’t something I had to immediately worry about.

Then the second Trump administration came, and our relationship fell apart. I was and am beyond pissed at them for voting at for an obvious nazi, among a number of other issues.

So we tried therapy for a bit, and it fell apart after about 2-3 months. So I was even more pissed off at them, and they were oblivious as to why I was pissed, despite explaining it to them numerous times. So now I’m low contact with them both.

Not if you’re doing things the boring way.

I am offended that scratch isn’t on here
