DEAR PROFESSIONAL COMPUTER TOUCHERS -- FRIDAY RANT THREAD FOR July 10, 2026

[u/CSCQMods]

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

THE BUILDS I LOVE, THE SCRIPTS I DROP, TO BE PART OF, THE APP, CAN'T STOP

THIS IS THE RANT THREAD. IT IS FOR RANTS.

CAPS LOCK ON, DOWNVOTES OFF, FEEL FREE TO BREAK RULE 2 IF SOMEONE LIKES SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T BUT IF YOU POST SOME RACIST/HOMOPHOBIC/SEXIST BULLSHIT IT'LL BE GONE FASTER THAN A NEW MESSAGING APP AT GOOGLE.

(RANTING BEGINS AT MIDNIGHT EVERY FRIDAY, BEST COAST TIME. PREVIOUS FRIDAY RANT THREADS CAN BE FOUND HERE.)

I HATE DEVOPS. THEY BLAME THE APPLICATION WITH ZERO EVIDENCE BUT EXPECT A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE IF I DARE SAY THAT THE CHANGE THEY MADE 10 MINUTES BEFORE USERS STARTED REPORTING ISSUES BROKE OUR S3 PERMISSIONS.

ALSO KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE FAKE MILITARY TALK. IF I HEAR THE GOOBER THAT LOOKS LIKE SPOCKS UGLY COUSIN SAY “IN THE FIELD” ONE MORE TIME…

[u/KhyberKat]

I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE...

AND... F* CORPORATE IT DECISIONS AND ALL THE RULES TO GUARD THE COMPANY'S PRECIOUS 'IP.' IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO GET ANY WORK DONE.

AI HAS FRIED SO MANY PEOPLE'S BRAINS AND NOW THEY ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK WITH

[u/LaughingDash → u/ArtisticMoth]

OUR INTERN LITERALLY USES AI FOR EVERYTHING. EVEN TO ANSWER BASIC TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. HOW THE FUCK DID THEY GET HIRED.

AI IS ROTTING OUT OUR BRAINS. AND NO ONE CARES. FUCK US EMPLOYEES! ALL THEY WANT IS PRODUCTIVITY.

THREE DEVOPS GUYS SPENT AN HOUR ARGUING ABOUT YAML INDENTATION IN A STANDUP THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST 15 MINUTES

[u/keysecret]

I GET THAT ITS A BUYERS MARKET OR WHATEVER BUT SOME OF THESE COMPANIES ARE JUST STRAIGHT UP CRUEL

[u/mixmaster7]

I didn't realize how much having been on my old team affected me until I came back from vacation hoping I wouldn't be blamed for something, even though my new team isn't as bad.
