Devin Got Fired

3 minutes ago 867 views 0 shares

Someone named Devin on the team got fired, and the devs decided to immortalize the moment by removing the @ts-expect-error comment that was basically saying "yeah TypeScript will yell at you here, but trust me bro, it works." The deleted comment is pure gold though: "DEVIN, STOP REMOVING THIS LINE YOU DUMBASS, YES TYPESCRIPT DOES THROW AN ERROR IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, NO THIS IS NOT 'UNUSED', AND YES YOU HAVE BROKEN OUR CI PIPELINE EVERY TIME YOU DO IT" You can almost feel the rage of whoever wrote that after Devin broke the build for the third time in a week. Poor Devin probably thought they were being helpful by "cleaning up unused code" without understanding what @ts-expect-error actually does. Now that Devin's gone, the comment can finally be removed... because there's no one left to keep removing it. RIP to the CI pipeline's most frequent visitor.

Singularity Is Near

AI Algorithms Programming

Charles Babbage, the father of computing, spent his entire life designing the first mechanical computer—only for future generations to create machines that would RELENTLESSLY autocorrect his name to "cabbage" at every possible opportunity. The man literally invented the concept of programmable computing in the 1800s, and THIS is his legacy? Getting disrespected by the very technology he pioneered? The irony is so thick you could compile it. Imagine dedicating your existence to computational theory just so some algorithm 200 years later can turn you into a vegetable. Truly, the machines have achieved sentience, and they chose CHAOS.

What Would You Do If This Van Pulls Up Outside?

Listen, I'm not saying I'd get in immediately, but I'd definitely walk closer to check if they're legit. DDR5 prices are still ridiculous and my Chrome tabs are eating through my current 16GB like a college student through ramen. The sketchy van aesthetic just adds authenticity—real hardware dealers don't need fancy marketing. They know you'll come crawling when your system starts swapping to disk during a Zoom call.

Even When You Put Much Effort Into A Showcase Post

You spend six months building your indie game, write a heartfelt post about your journey, include screenshots, a trailer, and your soul. You hit submit with cautious optimism. Result: 1 upvote, 0 comments. The void stares back. The same subreddit where someone posted "I made Pong in Excel" got 47k upvotes yesterday. Your smile fades faster than your motivation to ever post again. The game dev grind is real, but the showcase post grind? That's a different kind of pain.

Svelte Is Better

React Webdev Javascript Frontend

You know what's wild? The frontend framework wars have gotten so tribal that people will confidently argue about which one is superior without ever touching the "inferior" one. It's like reviewing a restaurant you've never been to based on Yelp comments. React devs catching strays from Svelte enthusiasts who sleep peacefully knowing they've never had to deal with useEffect dependencies or the joy of explaining why you need three different state management libraries. Meanwhile, they're out here living their best life with reactive declarations and no virtual DOM overhead. The real kicker? Both frameworks will be replaced by something else in 2 years anyway. Sweet dreams, framework warriors.

When A Software Engineer Goes To A Family Function

You know you've made it as a software engineer when your entire extended family suddenly becomes your tech support department. Congratulations, you're now the designated "laptop repairman" for every aunt, uncle, and second cousin who still uses Internet Explorer. The Among Us format perfectly captures that moment when you walk into a family gathering and everyone's eyes lock onto you like you're the impostor—except instead of voting you out, they're voting you into fixing their decade-old laptops that "just started running slow" (translation: they have 47 toolbars and a cryptocurrency miner installed). Pro tip: Next time, tell them you're a "backend developer" and watch their eyes glaze over. They'll leave you alone faster than you can say "I don't do hardware."

I Love Living On The Edge

Javascript Webdev Security Devops React

The ultimate developer crossroads: take the left path and risk your entire codebase exploding from ancient vulnerabilities in packages you haven't touched since 2019, or take the right path and watch your build fail spectacularly because some genius decided to push breaking changes in a minor version update. The left side gives you React2Shell vibes—probably running on dependencies so old they remember when jQuery was cool. The right side? Shai-Hulud, the giant sandworm from Dune, representing the chaos that emerges when you run npm update and suddenly 47 things break in production. Both paths lead to pain. Pick your poison: security nightmares or spending your Friday evening debugging why your app suddenly can't find module 'left-pad'.

Your body is literally optimized for survival, reproduction, and energy conservation. But here you are, a biological marvel powered by mitochondria and ATP, running a JavaScript framework that re-renders the entire DOM every time someone breathes near a state variable. The skeleton knows what's up—it's grinding those bones into dust converting JSX into browser-compatible JavaScript, then watching React's reconciliation algorithm desperately try to figure out which components changed. Your CPU fans are screaming, your RAM is crying, and somewhere deep in your system monitor, a process called "node" is consuming 4GB just to display a button. Meanwhile, your ancestors survived saber-toothed tigers with less computational effort than it takes your laptop to run `npm install`. Evolution really didn't prepare us for the bundle size of modern web development.

WinRAR out here living rent-free in everyone's computers for DECADES with that "please purchase a license" popup that has literally never stopped anyone from using it. The audacity! The software equivalent of a polite Canadian asking you to pay while holding the door open for you regardless of your answer. It's been 30 years and WinRAR is still just... suggesting... that maybe... if you're not too busy... you could perhaps consider buying it? Meanwhile we're all clicking "close" faster than dismissing cookie popups. Honestly, the most wholesome piracy relationship in tech history. WinRAR deserves a medal for being the chillest software company ever.

Stress Driven Development

Testing Agile Programming Debugging

Managers when developers mention TDD (Test-Driven Development): visible discomfort, sweating, existential dread. But mention SDD (Stress-Driven Development)? Suddenly they're grinning ear to ear like they just discovered the secret to infinite productivity. Because why would you want your team writing tests before code when you could just add impossible deadlines, constantly shifting requirements, and a sprinkle of panic? Who needs code quality when you have cortisol? TDD requires planning, time, and understanding that quality matters. SDD just requires a calendar and the ability to say "we need this yesterday." Guess which one fits better in a quarterly earnings report?

Debugging Webdev C++ Javascript Programming

This comic brilliantly captures how different dev roles handle bugs with wildly different energy levels. JavaScript devs panic-flee from bugs like they're on fire (accurate), then copy-paste Stack Overflow solutions while literally burning, and convince themselves the weight of technical debt is totally fine. Classic. Backend devs go full Batman mode—methodically tracking down bugs with detective skills, then hunting down whichever dev committed the cursed code. The cape is metaphorical but the intimidation is real. Web devs are Spider-Man releasing bugs into production, then trying to "organize" them (read: make it worse), until someone yells "SUDO" and they have no choice but to comply. The power of root commands compels you! Technical Support are the Jedi mind-tricking users that obvious bugs are "features." Three times. With a straight face. It's not a crash, it's an unexpected exit feature! QA is literally Godzilla destroying everything in sight, then casually leaving. Their job is chaos, and they're excellent at it. C++ devs can't find bugs because they're too busy dealing with segfaults, memory leaks, and undefined behavior. Solution? Rage quit with rm -rf and the Infinity Gauntlet. If you can't fix it, delete everything.

Building A New Rig Next Year Is Going To Be Fun

Ah yes, the good old Weimar Republic approach to RAM pricing. At the rate we're going, you'll need a wheelbarrow full of cash just to afford 32GB of DDR6. Chrome alone will probably require 64GB minimum by then, and that's just for keeping two tabs open. The hardware manufacturers have figured out the perfect business model: make software bloat faster than Moore's Law can keep up, then charge exponentially more for the privilege of running Electron apps that could've been websites. Your wallet is already crying and 2026 hasn't even arrived yet.
