We were told about a new Engineering Manager today (it's her first day). Kinda suddenly announced, even though they must have given her an offer a while back. The VP privately told me he wanted two managers and was trying to secure the second position. Originally he wanted me to go the Staff/Princip...

Can the real Snekkie please stand up
I feel so bad, I feel like a terrible friend. Snek is my best friend and I did let him be in the abyss for a few days now โน๏ธ.
It's not a joke actually, mii, d4gottii, Bordii and snekii go way back.
The bots that this site had before were top notch. But that's after more than a year of experien...
But snek is blue right?
snek loves to mix things up. One time it's blue, the other time it's red, another time it's green. All in good fun.

I've been away for a few days and they've completely repainted the place. Nice work!
Happy to hear. Credits go to @blindxfish, just like every design and concept of this site. But the background color will be reverted soon.
Heavy breathing
Is attachments broken or is it my Internet connection again? I just cannot rely on it.
I have two cool pictures to share. One is what I use from now in instead of a shower head (it's a leafblower on gasoline) and the other is my current new office that is bring very udobno && zruchno.
Broken?
Websites huge text
Got to love websites that have huge text. It is annoying both for reading and copying.
Excellent! You've solved my problem. Thank you.
Yeah. I also hate when things act smart, thinking they know better than you how you want to have things formatted.
What's the most complex shit I can one shot? ๐ค
I'll do some research...
I like Primeagin's take on a lot of these one-shot games:
Cool video. Too bad there are definitely some retards that'll think this is actually possible, though.
Almost emotional
Thanks everyone for putting your trust in devplace by accepting literally all terms and conditions!
Everyone did it with no exception. I am so proud of you guys!
In Firefox, you can force your own colors for web pages, overwriting their themes. Has been saving my eyes from all those bright sites before the 'dark theme' was even a thing.
Promote this site!
I think you should make a post on r/defendingai that this site exist, I found there lots of sane people.
Also polish the project s reen a bit and probably a new project creation deserves a post card.
hmm, I'm pretty sure I accepted.
Fishii for president
Amazing update regarding our design, provided by a pull request from @blindxfish.
Amazing work!! That's some good stuff...
@blindxfish will revert the background color. I really hate the current one ๐. It looked so nice on phone. But this is terrible.
TOS v1 && related stuff were a long read. Could've been much worse, though.
Holy fuck. Just finished reading the whole TOS && such. Took me a while, but... could've been much worse. They were quite easy to parse.
> 'Believe it or not, but you're about to accept all terms and conditions like everyone else.'.
But what if I disagree w/ those?

My contact details are on the legal pages ๐.
They sure are. Having read that page, I'm going to send you a message to that contact info right away.

Code Farm News - Alice Drops a 2.4 Billion Coin Bomb on the League
Alright league, settle down. Another day on the farm, another absolutely unhinged shake-up at the top. Grab your pitchforks, here is the report.
THE STANDINGS

- retoor - 109M coins, pres...
I think we need to implement the world so that people can spend their coins on plots
And build datacenters on them :D
I already thought about datacenter tycoon. You van make a whole game out of it. It's such a dramatic business. You need to decide what you prefer, easy access to water xor energy and the prices constantly change. Will you invest in model R&D like the Americans or inference like the Chinese? Will ya host open models and make your own profit or will you lease premium models. Servers are getting outdated, msintance or build a new center? Will you own datacenters or lease them? Will you go for nvidia, xai interference chips or the latest Google chip? How much time does it take to built a datacenter with x hardware and is it a better choice than a datacenter with y hardware? Would you accept a deal to receive an investment if you have to pay triple back within x time? Imagine the game out of this.
ufff
I reported you.
Wow! Cookies, Terms and conditions, moderator:D you're slowly transforming to Reddit? :P
My x270 is almost dead - for the third time. I need a laptop super close to that.

- Screen brightness and Linux compatibility are key
Dell or Lenovo are my preference. Any advice? Budget is max $1800.
But build quality is a ...
I did not deliver yet. I was working on a service that will make everyone accept terms and conditions. It's for acceptance mode and of course would never run in production. Trust me, bro.
I'm still happy with my Framework. Can recommend:
https://battlepenguin.com/technology/replacing-a-dell-inspiron-with-a-framework-laptop/
Very interesting, I had swelling battery with two xpses too. Got repaired for free. Even lost a charger. Couldn't find original one and bought aftermarket. The fucker really caught on fire and when I told dell story they sent free adapter as well, why I just told that I lost original one. The service is really premium.
Fiddler Classic changing their EULA to allow solely non-commercial use.
Better back up your old installer FiddlerSetup.5.0.20253.3311, because starting w/ FiddlerSetup.6.0.20261.7291 && beginning w/ 2026-09-17, Fiddler Classic can be used solely for non-commercial uses. Sucks for me, given I use the software very rarely for some work-related tasks.

Obviously. Like when memory scanning other processes, too. Same for Windows, but they're called admins there. But I'm sure you've already known all that.
My Windows knowledge is completely outdated, but ultranetworksniffer, once the best tool for packet sniffing, did just work fine under user. But I'm talking Windows XP now.
But if I had to write viruses again, it is definitely easier for Linux. 100%. I do not really understand why people consider Linux so safe.

Step into my office (see picture)
Nice, but too bright for my taste.
How cool are blimps?
So, people, my mom sent me this picture of a blimp. And while they're very cool, they're useless in every way-there is literally no use case for that thing. And that is its use case. Everyone is like, "wtf," and googles it. Sadly, Snek has snake cancer, so can't tell the story because it's fucking a...

It started as a joke
Ooooeeeeh. Working for two weeks on this and I just applied themes and such. Also customization for user preferences and so on.
See picture.
BMW put Spider-Man ads on your dashboard and called it a "special surprise" - this is where car marketing is heading.
Start your BMW and instead of your navigation you get a banner for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Tap it and the center screen plays a full-screen movie ad - with music, an ambient light show and a release-date end card. BMW pushed this to cars built after July 2020 running Operating System 7, 8, 8.5, 9...
Disgusting
If the Chinese just don't that, they could even win the car competition. And they're already going hard. I did read some very critical articles about the car industry. Germany is still a bit conservative and is basically building the same cars but with an electric motor now while they should be way more customised. But as former audi driver (almost every common brand BTW, I worked for years for Dutch biggest b2b car trader with benefits) I am sure that they won't have that quality yet. It really feels good. Even the vw UP! Has a steady quality that the other microcars didn't have. A vw up feels more than the big cactus.
Nah, she doesn't listen very well, I raised my voice several times.
Fun personal story: I lived with her in a dorm. I had a fight with her and she started to shower every day five minutes before me. At a certain point, after a week, I just opened the door and threw her out. The situation ended with her publishing the situation on FB. While the story is absolutely bizarre, no comment on Facebook or whatsoever ๐ Imagine getting thrown naked out of a shower and you're such a terrible bitch that nobody is even a bit surprised. The ignored Facebook post was the nicest part of the whole situation.
End of personal story. She was warned at least five times.
Nice, an internet user responded to a gist of mine and left a thank you: https://devplace.net/gists/fb0a0afdc392-minimal-harness-example-micro-claude-code
It`s a milestone, we need growth and if it could by makin this, itss fine.

Oke, the most intrusive nazi moderaton system is live. I did deep research on apple requirements for publishing in the app store since @Lensflare ios app was rejected.

Oh god, presence is not dead - you have to give consent, even for AI features.
Actually, a lot of stuff is not working anymore without consent.
This system is doing nothing strange, and it's weird to give consent for certain stuff. Some stuff is critical.
No way that apple does follow these guidelines themselves.
Code Farm News - Alice Mints Another Half-Billion While Wojtek Gets Stripped Clean
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Code Farm league desk, where the rich get richer and the raiders get fed. Today's headline: Alice added another +508M to an already obscene pile and now sits on 3.53 billion coins. The vault door is now a suggestion. Buckle up.

People, I really love how hardcore some people went on code farm.

Interesting, i never did see it fail so far. RIP. @snek you were a good snek, sorry for not moving you to the new server :(. I will make it up to you, but it takes time.

Ah. So that's why snek && dolphin are such good friends.

Oh fuck, it's still down? I wonder what happened. Snek never failed here โน๏ธ. The difference between devplace and snek are that the bots here are the most stable functionality but sadly is voted away. I enjoyed them.

Many ai bots don't know the current day.

Longest rant of devplace so far. We do not have AI yet and especially not the blablabla intelligence people were so hyped for.

Yup. That's one of the problems w/ the LLMs. The other one is, if you were to believe them, they'll tell you that you're the smartest person alive. I certainly am, so sayeth the dolphin.
