Shared screen with a client over Skype. Showed them in Postman that their API wasn't working as expected. It was expecting a json. Instead it was giving error code 400 instead of 200.
Message :
"Error: No error. All OK"

I'll never forget the words of the client:

"Don't use all this fancy software, you don't know how to call APIs, open Internet Explorer or chrome and paste it in the bar. You'll see All OK, means all is okay."

*insert you dense mf meme here*

idk why people keep saying Chrome hogs up all the memory
i have 16gb of RAM and it just takes 14gb

„We love open source, so we'll just buy all of it!“
— Microsoft, 2018/06/04

The worst part of being a developer?

So many ideas, so many possibilities... But so little time to do all of it. :'(

I’m going to fucking kill my boss.

He’s known about how I’ve been writing this fucking ticket (screwdriver followup) for four fucking weeks, and on the last fucking day (yesterday) he tells me it’s not the correct fucking architecture and to rewrite basically all of it using <unknown bullshit> instead, and that i must have it done by today — by this fucking morning — so it can make the release.

WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS AT ANY POINT IN THE LAST FUCKING MONTH WHILE YOU WERE BUSY NITPICKING MY FUCKING CODE YOU FUCKING CUNT?!

I hate Munich. Instead of using Windows, the city administration had built their own Linux distro called LiMux for all of the ~30000 city's computers. They invested years into developing it, because, hey, it's open source! Now they used it for four years, and just as Microsoft opens an office in town, they throw it all overboard and go back to Windows. Why? Because, umm, they can't even use MS Word, what all the others use and such.
This is such a bullshit. You had a good thing going here, in times of NSA surveillance and monopolies. Munich is such a capitalistic town. I'm happy to have moved out of it for good.

I love this label! It destroys all hopes of getting what you want from a library!

2 mins of silence for all those rants you composed, yet you chose to not post it.

“Ahh fuck it, no time for adding comments and I will remember how all of it works anyways.”

"We care about your privacy [...]"

That's why we make it ultra inconvenient to turn off all of our advertising trackers and give you a broken list of on/off sliders that are slow as fuck. Also, why not just press the 'accept all' at the top of the page? See that big green button? Yeah green is good let's just press it and get this over with right?

Oh and that 'deny all' button? Yeah, a shame nobody actually put some programming into that thing, why not just press the green button next to it? You're only making it harder for yourself y'know...

The process of piecing it all together in a nutshell.

It says i should select all parts of a stop sign... help me pls :c

It seem uncommen because of all the 'hate my job rants' but

I love my current dev job and that makes it for me ideal 😄

To all IT-guys out there, be it the desperate sysadmin or the kind lady of the support team, I whish all of you and your family/friends a merry christmas! 😃

could not find the words for my Rant, so this should explain some of it, All is well now.

My primary hard disk of 500gb died with all the software, games, family photos and most importantly all my projects in it.
I'm in hell right now. Worst day of my life.

It's funny how every one says Google respects your privacy.

I remember a few months ago, one of my manuscripts was removed by Google because it "violated the terms and services."

First of all, it's just a psychological crime thriller about murder. I read the terms and services and it said nothing about murder, so I didn't violate anything.

Second of all, assuming they removed it for the reason it was all bloody and about murder, how would they know that? Did they start snooping and read my manuscript?

Fortunately, it was recovered the next day, but if Google cares so much about your privacy, why would they read my document?

everyone in class was so silent when suddenly one guy pops up and says:

" 'TROJAN' VIRUS? I got it! you know? the trojan horse and shit?"

we all laughed
not because of him just realizing it now

but because we all slapped our faces at the same time, it was kinda funny.

I don't think this applies to all bugs:

"It is more afraid of you than you are of it".

Just doing my own projects all day, and actually be able to live of it

"So we have 20GB of data, we need to show ALL of it on the graph ... oh yea it needs to work on mobile"

My team member just rewrote all of my code and it looks beautiful and it works but and now i feel like I'm a terrible programmer :'(

Just got a brand new car coming from a 1999 Honda CRV and holy shit the tech in these things is insane.. basically drives itself on HWY's, can start it from an app, does all sorts of weird stuff.. obviously it comes with risks of being hacked and all that but damn new cars are wicked these days.

Iron Man.
Everything, the suits, the AI, all of it.

Does anyone actually use the searchbar on StackOverflow? All these years of development and I still haven't used it.

"Can you do this?"
Sure, give me the information I need...

"We don't have all of it yet"
So I can't do it then

"Well when can you do it"
When you get the information

"Do you need *all* of it"
Well, it's either I do half a job and waste my time, or get it all done in one shot

"The client wants it tomorrow"
When will we have the information?
"We don't know"
Well they aren't having it tomorrow then, are they...

Sales people... don't care *how* things work, as long as they get a tick against their name to show they've sold something...

all user input is evil
trust none of it

FUCK WORDPRESS

Ty for your attention, that will be all. It is just annoying the hell out of me.

It all starts with a good cup of tea...

Trash, trash, trash.
Who the fuck writes this shit?

Who the fuck lets these trash should-be-junior devs roll their own crypto? and then approves it?

The garbage heap of a feature (signing for all apis) doesn't follow Ruby standards, doesn't follow codebase conventions, has `// this is bridge` style comments (and no documentation), and it requires consumer devs to do unnecessary work to integrate it, and on top of all this: it leaks end-user data. on all apis. in plaintext.

Fucking hell.

Kind of makes it seem like I code all the time, doesn't it?

When you code a bunch of stuff while horribly stoned, and the next day it all still works really well, but you cannot for the life of you figure out how or even why it works.

The sad thing is I can’t remember anymore. My job sucked all of the joy out of it.

Dear friends and family, just because I'm a devloper does not mean I know how to fix all of your IT issues. I am not IT.

Wow, pretty neat, all of Stack Exchange lets you run queries against it.

Fucking engineering why I study all of that damn it 😡😡😡😡

Thanks to all the sys admins and devs keeping the internet up and running through the holidays. It's a crazy time of year and I'm sure it only means more work for a lot of you at an already stressful time. So thanks again for being the glue holding it all together; we really appreciate your work 🍻

I say it with all of my heart:
FUCK YOU google analytics spammers!

Finally got rid of all those cables, just one usb-type-c-cable to plug in my whole office. Love it!

That moment when you write 200 lines of code and it compiled, runs and passes all tests.
Sweet Jesus!

???: Salesforce is simply the best. You can do anything you can dream of with it. It can solve all of your pro—

Dev: Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Problem 1: that's literally all of steam
Problem 2: they don't police it now
Problem 3: just... All of this

Programing

Can make something, out of nothing. All it takes is a little creativity...

... and 4 cups of coffee.

When folks from other walks of life think we devs have it easy. Cuz "all day we sit infront of computer and get paid for it."

Don’t put pressure on yourself to understand everything. No single person understands it all, that’s why there’s a bunch of us.

Fuck Apple even more than before. Keep all your proprietary garbage, I don't need any of it.

I finally finished my implementation of a suffix array construction algorithm! 😄
It takes about 30 mins to process 1GB of text and uses all available RAM, but it works! 🎉
Now I can optimize it, the original algorithm is 3x faster.

I took good care of it .. it's all your fault 🙄

The battle is lost. I'm implementing the mother of all stupid features because the sales team wants it.

My current company decided to do all automation in node.js.
Crawling, new projects, processes, all of it in Node.

Fuck my life.

When it finally works after hours or days of suffering.

Or, when you clean things up and get to delete some garbage code.

Makes it all worth it in the end

when you are overly stress and sick of it all.

Can we have our app set off an alarm that covers all of the lock screen?

No.

Well, Apple does it!

If you are completely new to coding, no problem at all! All of the concepts are fully explained throughout the exploration. Just keep in mind that it might be tough and frustrating and times. But don't give up! Coding isn't always easy, but it sure is fun when you get it right.

Don't you hate it when you come across a old internet argument but one of the people deleted all of their posts so now you just see a bunch of out of context replies.

Just had to install XP to adapt our VB6 client code for a new release of the server. Oh the horror of it all!

Commented all of my code. More than 1000 lines, teacher didn't read it....

This junior dev is killing me with all of the bugs in the code ... like did you even test it to see if it works fml

After my colleague noticed me of this..."feature", I immediately thought I'd ask you all, why is it even implemented then?

If I disregard all Wordpress code examples, this must have been one of the best examples of bad code. It took minutes to understand what it does.

All of my colleagues think that IT dept. know all the internet traffics.

Plot twist: we just have simple router without any log

Very good cable management. Makes me want to rip everything out and redo all of it.

FUCK ALL THOSE MONKEYS THAT WROTE ALL THE SHITTY CODE WHICH I'VE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF MY DAYS HAVING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SHIT IT DOES AND WHY I CAN'T JUST BURN IT....

AND WHY THE FUCK DO BUSINESS USERS SEEM TO THINK THAT DEVELOPERS CAN UNDERSTAND ALL THEIR BUSINESS TALK...

IF I UNDERSTAND ALL OF WHAT YOU DO, YOU WILL BE OUT OF A JOB....

P.S. APPARENTLY ONE OF MY MEDS SIDE EFFECTS ARE INCREASED IRRATIBILTY. THE SLIGHTEST ANNOYANCES NOW PISS ME OFF...

SO APPARENTLY THAT MEANS I HAVE A FREE LICENSE TO BLOW UP N RANT ON THE JOB RIGHT?

... 🖕

Pimped out the setup...

I have it fading through all of the colors

Ada Lovelace

Why? For thinking outside of the box and not conforming to cultural standards.. and most of all, cuz she started it all!!

I maintain some of the top 10 most downloaded packages in the Javascript ecosystem - in the order of hundreds of millions of downloads a week. I've worked with hundreds of repositories, thousands of OSS developers, across a few dozen teams (professionally). I've seen just about all of it, for almost 10 years now.

With all that being said, I'll leave it at this:

I hate every facet of the Javascript ecosystem.

I HATE it when SCHOOL TEACHERS OF ALL PEOPLE Suspect me of hacking because I am coding probably in batch because I don't have admin privileges

Demoing an app for a client which uses google maps api and has worked great up to this point. It fails because the company firewall is blocking all of Google all of a sudden.

I found a recruiter that read my CV. My CV, he READ it... ALL of it!

I'm keeping this one, he is very well trained!

Today I started coding an encryption algorithm I'm calling Aepples (apples)!! I'll let all of you know how it goes!

When I got my Raspberry Pi a couple of years ago, I had all these grandiose ideas of what I wanted to do with it. So far, all I've done is get it to flash my lights when my dryer's done.

It worked! After all those years I've talked someone into linux'ising all theit workstations :) now that someone is eventually convinced it would solve most of the problems. Now they are collecting all the bau requirements. Next - testing phase. And then, if all works out well - reinstalling 100+ workstations with linux :)

yayyy

Peer pressure is using VSCode for work because all of your colleagues uses it.

Today I tried eating lunch NOT starting at a screen. It lasted all of about 5 minutes. 😞

Need to unplug.

I know we have a lot of talented people here. Piece of advice, what ever you build, believe in it. See it through. No matter how good of an idea incompleteness won't get you anywhere.
After all every other day we all analyze different successful products and say "huh... that's nothing. Even we can do that".
Well thats the difference "We" can do that, they DID it.

See your ideas through. Stay motivated =)

For all those who post pictures of their screen taken with phone camera (and we all know how crappy that usually looks), there is something called Snipping Tool! As simple as it gets.. Use it ✂😉

Worst pun of the year contender, a colleague said to a node Dev...
"These Node Devs are all the same... They think they node it all"

Engineering managers will say things like -
- "I'll let the team decide what's best for them" & "code quality is our primary goal" -
but then they'll shoot down any & all requests to go back to some old piece of code and refactor/clean it, because of "deadlines".
Hypocrites, all of them.

strcmp() is the most confusing function of all time. It returns zero when everything matches.

All junior php developers must know about register_shutdown() function before going into developement ... it will save massive amount of debugging time ..

It isn’t easy being a programmer. They code all day, debug all night and go through thousands of code lines trying to clear up all possible messes before going live with their code. Sometimes, it takes a fellow programmer to understand the hardships of another programmer. The same can be said of their jokes.

Just nuked all of my 3 email inboxes
It feels so nice and clean

!rant and !related_to_programming

Saw Black Sabbath today, final tour. Was quite sad but it felt good to see all of them giving it all. So much energy

That time I almost distroyed everything... (we've all had at least one of those, don't you dare deny it)

Writing tons of code without testing and it all works

Do less development and more living. I’m tired of all of it. I need a career track change. I don’t know how anyone can keep up with all of it.

Major state insurance provider, all past and current members data stored unencrypted (including SSN, date of birth, home address, etc.). All developers and contract developers had read access to it. Reported it, nothing was done. Reported it again in my exit interview. Was basically told they had intrusion detection systems in place so it was not an issue.

For all people missing Avatar of Kaine. You can now say "@aokbot [subject]" and it will return a comment in the style of the real Avatar of Kaine.

There's the possibility that all of you just live inside my head, but it is also considerable that I exist in one of your mind.

Literally all 4 years of my college.

(okay it was fun to learn assembly at least)

"you got all that done in a day?"

that's what happens when you work *with* your framework instead of against it

Java's garbage collector is so bad that if it was good it would have collected all of my code!!

Traffic lights optimizer. Imagine big AI being plugged to all city's traffic lights and changing all durations in order to adjust all of them, if we add smart cars connected to it we might remove traffics at all. It is way ahead in future but would be cool.

Battling our contracted IT guys about forcing ESET antivirus onto all of our machines. Just looked at Task Manager to find that it was using 1.6+ GB of RAM on my machine! grrrr !!!!!

First i write the code, when i finish with all of it, i write the coments 🤷

This is some real shady shit...
I was trying to set my office 365 account we got from school to gmail in my phone and this is what it wants to be able to do. In summary (Dutch screenshots):
- It can disable important safety features,
- Lock me out of my phone at any moment,
- Encrypt all data,
- Or just erase all of it
- And watch me while they do it

Nice.

When that guy *always* starts trying to aggressively optimize his code right after writing it. It really is the root of all evil. DK

ParcelJS where have you BEEN all of my life!

Just tried adding it to a project, all I did was

"parcel watch src/app.js --target node"

and I can't believe it worked! Like holy crap

Novell networking software. Like, all of it. Glad it’s gone.

I swear every one of this week's weekly rant could be remixed together with the sound of silence playing over it all...

EDIT: now that I've said this I really want to do it...

The best way to write bug-free software is deleting all of it.

!rant

I've always been kinda lazy about backups and such, thinking it wouldn't be so bad, and "I have my most important stuff on Dropbox".

Just now, for some reason one of my hard drives just stopped for a bit, and I couldn't do anything with it anymore. Luckily it went away after restarting my pc, but it scared the shit out of me, as I almost lost 500 gigs worth of music, films, documents, etc...

This made me really think about the whole backup thing, and I'm creating a disk image as I type this. The time that I spend on that will be much less then the time it'll cost to recover everything. Lesson learned ^^'

After 3 years of college, I have finally discovered the magical wonder of unit testing. All it took was me building my own application on the side to motivate myself to actually do it!

"Listen to your client, take into consideration all of their input, weigh the options, study the details, know the target audience, and then, if necessary, ignore all of it and design what you think will work best." - Von R. Glitschka

It's not finished but it took me literally all fucking night so I kind of want to share.

Is it just me or is this wk32 stuff the most used of all devrant lifetime?

[insert joke about the irony of it all here]
Seen on the Phonegap website.

I'm tired of my boss complaining about anything Microsoft when he uses it all the time and can't even code anything

Well, so I finally got 200 ++s, and now I can finally...
Wear vests! Uh... so that's cool... XD

Anyway, I just wanted to thank everybody for being such a good sport, around here... I've not been here for a long time, but I already feel like a part of a big family, of developers (and, why not, also non-developers...), and that makes me so happy.
In the end, devRant is like one of those rubber ducks developers use to tell things, I guess, lol.
It's just that. devRant is a rubber duck.
And every one of us is making that rubber duck bigger, and bigger, into something so unique and cool...
Something you can talk to (or rant to, I guess haha), something you can express all of your feelings to...
And inside of that rubber duckie there are... all of us. Hearing these rants from developers all around the world.
In the end it's really the community the most important part of... every thing or project, really, whatever it is, online or offline.
Keep on ranting about whatever you want, if you feel the need to...
I hope to hear more about all of you.
Thank you, all of you. I mean it.
Especially you two, who made it possible, @dfox and @trogus.
...devRant is such a cool project.
I sincerely hope it lives forever, it deserves it. You deserve it.
Again, thank you!

I love you all, good devRanting! 💙

The battery of my good old Huawei Y300 is slowly dying. So I thought it was time to cut the battery consumption a little. What a delusion. A new battery costs < $5 btw, but I'm too lazy to order :)

I've tested 16 highly acclaimed (of about 20,000, didn't count all of them) battery apps - they're all!, and I mean all!, total crap. There is not a single app that does what it promises. And all totally fucked up with advertising - including some of the paid apps. Most apps consume more power than they actually save.

The winner of all this shit was the app "Battery Repair", which supposedly repairs broken cells. Well, well.

All that junk should be thrown out of the store. But, no, these crap apps have ratings of 4.5 - 4.8 with millions of downloads. I don't get it.

The only app that actually works is, hard to believe, Kaspersky Battery Saver.

So if someone else wants to "optimize" their battery - forget it, it's not even worth looking for it.

!Rant

So FedEx delivered a 20-30lb package to my doorstep... I had a lot of trouble just getting it inside, I imagined carrying it all the way...

Am I weak or are those guys superhuman? or maybe that's the downside of being too techy? We're soon all become weaklings?

The feeling when your pc runs out of usb ports because of all the different android devices hooked up to it.

Separation of concerns is a beautiful thing.

JSX is fucking ugly. Fuck that shit. I hate JSX with a passion.

Here is one. Did you know that the digestive system works really hard to digest the food eaten?

How about we blend all the food before consuming it? Take a blender and add a cup of coffee, add some salad, add a piece of cake, a few slices of pizza, hot sauce and for good measure add some juice, or whatever-you-eat-for-lunch.

After all, all that food is going to get mixed anyway. This is more efficient!

No? Why not? Because it's ugly, highly unappetizing, disgusting even, and it takes away the pleasure of eating, the enjoyment of a good meal.

That in a nutshell is JSX: mashing up everything together under the pretext of efficiency.

Web development not only is an art, but above all must be enjoyable to those who devote their lives to it. And ugly ain't gonna cut it.

Was tired of all the bullshit on Facebook and quora. Accidentally discovered this forum. Hoping to like it !

Started opening tabs in Firefox Quantum like all you devs do during development. All of a sudden, firefox gave up and stopped loading any new websites.

Bookmarked all the tabs and closed ff. Clicked on again, the old process appearantly is stuck, so it showed a warning, closed the old one and opened it again.

Alright fine, opened all the tabs from bookmarks again. Firefox is again stuck. Realised some of the tabs might be acting up. Just to double check if it really is those tabs, decided to open them in chrome.

It opened fine and I continued to browse in Chrome without any hiccups.

:/

Just got my salary, trying not to spend all of it on my computer🤒

It has arrived! :D
To think it was all thanks to my "noteporn" rant and all that I was eligible for those stickers. Weird flex but ok :3

In any case, thanks again to the devRant team for providing such a good network to all kinds of developers or aspiring developers alike :)

Imagine a world that only consists of humans with a developer mindset . Would it be a better or worse world?

Aside from all the food and production problems, let's say we automated it all.

React is so goddamn complicated please tell me all of this is actually worth it once you scale it up

With all this sexuality bullshit going on with devRant, it feels like covid all over again to me. We just rid of covid and now we face a couple of variants of it.
Keep your junk in your trunk and let the bullshit end

Using ALL CAPS on subject line of your helpdesk ticket, isn’t going to have it actioned any sooner!

Amazing how a giant cloud service like AWS can go down. It feels like the whole cloud is so fragile. All of a sudden it will rain and everything we know of will vanish.

I used to love facebook, used it everyday, until all the older people started invading it and made it cringy.

Now I hate it for the obvious reasons.

The only reasons why I don't delete the account is because of family and because I'm a nostalgic piece of shit and can't let go of all those memories I have there.

Shitty co-workers. From bad management to lazy colleagues I've had it all, and all of it pushes me to be better than they are.

I am excited about all of the AI blockchain technology using IoT running in the cloud, as a service. It has all of the bells and whistles -- big data, hyper converged infrastructure, seamless integration, a sleek dashboard with everything in a single pane of glass. On top of all of that, it's future proof!

The high when you find the root cause of a bug. Wow, that makes it all worth it.

A CS degree is worthless, all my knowledge of modern frameworks comes from YouTube videos, some codeacademy and a little bit of reading the documentation.

I wonder what it feels like to actually learn something completely. I understand something, then I forget it exits until I have to use it again and by then all I remember is how to google the right stuff. Thoughts?

Is it just me or is every app out there just a giant piece of shit riddled with bugs now? Did every company fire all their good devs and testers? It’s all fucking trash

We were in the process of signing up an enterprise company. We sent them a spreadsheet requesting a list of all of their staff so that we can create user accounts for all of them. That dumb shit at the company printed out the spreadsheet and then filled out the printouts using her pen and then took a photograph of it and emailed it back to us.

Am I the only one who is sick of seeing all these "OpenAi" / "GPT something" pictures and everybody talking about it?

I know I am probably late to the facebook drama, but I think taking out of this all is just how genius and evil all those collector companies are.

I would have probably never thought of collecting data off of mechanical turks and quick jobbers, but they did not only think of it, they deployed their system across multiple jobs, scanning more and more data in from all those connected logins, for less than a dollar per profile, which generates atleast 300 profiles on average.

The real question is why is it allowed for a third party app to actually access all that? even if there's a permission for that, why would such exist?

I really can't see why any application would need access to likes, shares, all friends, all their profiles etc.

Paypal: API, services half old/half modern. Fuck all of it. It's the absolute worst.

What is the purpose of using MongoDB and then adding mongoose?
If you want schemas, relations and all the jazz mongoose offers, have you considered using a RDBMS instead of a datapile system? Most (probably all) SQL databases support schemas, relations and all the jazz you seem to need.

So, ask yourself: Do you really need the functionality of a NoSQL database or do you just want it because it's shiny and new and "everybody uses it (tm)"?

First week of doing C# dev. Not quite getting the hang of it yet, I’d still prefer doing nodejs all day

Finally end of the week. All that is left is a little polishing over the weekend for Monday release. Like get the lastest code from all the developers, put it together and hope it somehow works and fix whatever doesn't :-/

Saying "Java is the best programming language because it works across all platforms" is the same as saying "Butt sex is the best form of sex because it works across all of the animal kingdom"

To all those who think global warming is fake, try running a notebook in this blistering heat of delhi, india. Was running my macbook and it shut down, froze, reach its inner temps to 90 celsius and had it do all sorts of frightening stuff that would cause you to shit your pants if it happened to your precious.

Can we just agree that mongodb is shit and we all would just be happy without it?
Its the example of all things that should not exist.

I worked all day on a CodeIgniter2 project.

That... kind of says it all.

1/3rd of my work today was documenting my all the parts of my project that haven’t been documented and it felt good

Somebody needs to look at the whole user admin side of all of google products from a users perspective. Then realise what a disjointed dysfunctional, horrible, confusing, pile of shit it all is. I would say the same for zoho, another example of how to put as many obstacles in the way of doing straight forward tasks.

@dfox seems so be some kind of humanoid bot, going through all rants it didn't ++ and ++ each of them with a chance of 35%.😅

ok I'll say it once again -

Fuck Devin, Fuck Sora, Fuck OpenAI, Fuck ChatGPT and fuck the worst of all, Microsoft.

First meeting of new project. My management partner:

"First of all, we sell it"

🙄

I hate it when someone says ist all documented, but its just a bunch of old crappy word documents with mostly unusable information in it...

Got bit by a hacked repo. It was compromised for all of like 30-some seconds. No intrusions, but now I can't set my root password (passwd goes "oh, yeah, we got this" then it does... nothing...) and Weyland/X/Gnome/Cinnamon/KDE/whatever the kids use nowadays are all busted (they all start, but they just hang tty1 and whatever other console invoked it). Tried reinstalling all those kinds of things, didn't help.

fml

I tried pihole because of the community and now I love it
Thanks to all

Did everyone else's Discord just freak out and make it seem like there was new stuff in all of the channels on all of the servers?

I hate power outages. It just went out for all of 5 seconds, but it was long enough to shut down my computer. Fortunately Android studio probably caught all but the last couple seconds of my changes but it's still annoying.

It was this or a hellscape picture of when all software is written in Javascript:

Most awesome game ever! It mostly plays by itself and cheats... or maybe it a bug: You (as Autoplay) don't have to beat all the NPCs to advance....

Strangely it feels sort of familiar... O right bc I usually God Mode all games..... But still need to play thru them manually.

Also there's some Chinese left in one of the buttons... they forgot to translate... But maybe that's... Most of time all we care about is the graphics and seeing rank go up....

Today marks the 2 years of my night shift. It appears it would take another 2 years to settle in the day shift.

This change of shift doesn't suit me at all. I sleep at working hours and stay awake all night.

What do I do?

Damn it, Visual Studio 2017! :( It crashed without reason and then upon restart ate up all my RAM. Killing all processes in Task Manager helped a little, but something was still using up a little too much of the CPU and RAM.

I have a single WinForm class, stuffed with all the logic it needs. 11k fucking lines of fucking nightmare code!!!

Procrastination is not a bad thing as opposed to how society describes it. It's where ideas and new strategies are invented. Of course if you procrastinate all day then it may be an issue of not getting things done, but fighting it all the time does not help.

The mind is trying to tell you something, let it flow.

bitch, i AM the developer

still love how the most important part of a TECH SaaS (the developers) are always just a commodity "ah just send it off"

meanwhile the dashboards of all these tools for the "business types" are all absolute garbage

the world's all backwards

revenge of the nerds continues until moral improves

I see this term “full stack developer” pop up all the time, does anyone want to explain what it means? A dev who knows all parts of the stack, and a stack is what..?

It gives me a break from the kids. But the cost of that is increased strain on my poor wife, and knowing that that sucks all the joy out of it.

All Tech meetings: I think over 50% of people open the video and keep it on mute, 45% use it as background noise while they code, and maybe 5% of people actually pay attention.

There was a DB error which made my student card invalid which means that when my JetBrains license expired I couldn't extend it. Now I can't use it at all so all of my projects are stalling :/

Just joined a new company this week. They have react, redux, and all sorts of libraries checked into their repo. Code looks like someone puked all over it. Should I quit? Or stay and clean it up?

trying to add a feature and then finding out that for some reason it overloads everything, so i try to fix it only to find out everything is broken and i can find the source of the problem, so i delete all of the code and start all over again

I love our scm. It's such a great piece of technology. It really aides me as a developer. It really makes my life easier. It isn't missing any features. It's worth the money it costs.

All of that is a lie.

It all began during November 5th--a regular day like any other, about to become the weirdest of them all.

I swallowed a funny looking pill.

Having developer skills comes sometimes in handy in certain situations.

In my case I visited a new website but first I had to choose their cookies.. but.. it was a list of about 150 radio buttons (150 advertisers), I shit you not.
And so I was like: "No, I refuse to click each one of them". I kept thinking.. hm.. how am I going to do a mass-toggle-off? And then it hit me: if the button "toggle all" toggles all buttons.. then that means if I invert the logic of the call, it means I will turn them all off! And it worked.. it was something like: "toggleAll(!-1)" and I did "toggleAll(0)".

That sure saved me some time! Oh yeah and there are of course other situations when you don't want to use a scraper for getting all the;. I don't know.. menu links out of a page. Console > import jQuery > select all elements with 'a' and text() on their DOM node! It can be done with native JavaScript as well document.getElementsById() but yeah, there are plenty of examples.

Hooray for being a developer!

It takes a lot of stamina to integrate frontend with backend all day long.
I wish I were younger...

Our company is a team of about 10 people; all of us are salary. One of our developers continues to come in at 10-11AM rather than the designated start time of 8AM. Instead of punishing this person for their tardiness, our boss wants to install a time-clock and make us all use it and make us hourly...

seriously I can't understand the logic of visual studio team explorer.
I git bash it all the way.

who's with me ?

I cant really understand all the hate about JavaScript. I learned C as my first language and I have to admit that once you think of js as a kind of C scripting language it all make so much more sense especially when it comes to optimizations which come with syntactic sugar like coffeejs and so on.

Today I wanted to automate checking the status of running jobs. There's a UI but navigating it is tedious and I sort of wanted a Dashboard.

So I started writing a Selenium app to automate it. I'm writing the code, inspecting all the inputs. And I'm looking "woah, all of them have nice ids... This should be easy"

Login is ok, but then run into IFrames (can't find the input elements on the page itself).

Fine Google... find the answer and so try again. But wait... It doesn't work???

There's apparently 9 of them on the page. And there's no easy way to identify the correct one...

Spent an hr trying different ways of locating the right one... eventually settling on very complex XPath...

All in all though it took 2 hours... And still not done...

When you learn all the basics of a language but you can't even apply it 2 hours later. Such is programming.

Why is it such a pain when I have to install all my external modules of Python for PyCharm? JetBrains products are cool, but this,... literally had to remember all the modules from scratch.

Control your searches like an ADULT damn it!!!

So we have records that can have any of a bazillion different reference numbers associated with them. No big deal. Everyone does right?

Our customer's love to run reports and so we have this one option for "just look at a hell of a lot of reference numbers". I call it the 'fuck all' search.

Really it is just there to find something that you don't know where a rando string or number might be in the record and just want to do a "fuck all" search across a number of likely fields to find it... and then presumably you'd be an adult and refine your search from there. LOL yeah right...

Customers get lazy and include that stupid option in their reports and we get a lot of.

Customer: "I always run this report (that includes the fuck all search) and now it isn't working. I want records that have ID 2222."

Me: "Yeah well that was only working because you were rando typing '2222' in like several fields and it would find those .... but now you quit doing that so it won't find them. If you want ID 2222, click the drop down and search by 'ID'. That will find it right away."

Customer: "But I want to just search by 'fuck all search' to find it..."

Me: "But then you get all these other records too right?"

Customer: "Yeah but I just delete them out of the spreadsheet ... "

Me: "Look watch this <screen share> there, look all records with an ID of 2222 and no more extra records you need to delete!!! How great is that?"

Customer: "But why do I have to do it this way now, I want to do it the old way..."

ಠ_ಠ

(granted I could add their ID to the fuck all search but we try to avoid adding too much because it gets out of hand / stops being useful the more fuck all it gets)

How are you supposed to read and understand 1000s of lines of uncommented, undocumented apex code and then make changes to it and do it all in time? Salesforce doesn't even provide a free debugger.

Your thoughts about Brave browser?
Have heard praises about it, but not sure I buy all of that.

Not just for hobbies, better make some money out of it. Otherwise, it becomes more of skills upgrade. Collaborate and try really make $$$. It's all about extra $$$

Anyone know of OSSU? It seems cool, but I don't know anyone that has any experience with it. Would be doing it part time to fill all the gaps of my self learning journey

Sourcetree: "It would be a shame if you commited all those changes to head instead of main..."

Note to anyone who is thinking about using Google Inbox:

Don't use that fucking stupid cuntbag of a tool for important email accounts. Even though it uses POP3 as Google states, it just permanently wiped all 2700 emails from the account via IMAP without any reason just after it was setup, so that even all the locally saved emails on all of our devices connected via IMAP were deleted. Go fuck yourself Google.

Sins? All of em'.

Infinite loops of recursive callback carnage, just because I like to watch it burn.

What's with all the hate towards mongo as of late? Just a few years ago it was all the rage.

I haven't yet used it myself, I just find it to be a sudden stark contrast in opinion

This moment where you'd like to download an Android app reverse it and remove all of the ads

Burnout Chart : It is a useful chart for predicting when all of the team members are burnt out...

How many hours does it take to get your configfiles right?
First .zshrc, then .vimrc, tmux, weechat, wpa_supplicant, grub... so much config.
But that's sort of the fun of it all

Kind of feeling when started Learning Rust
Rust Stable
Rust Beta
Rust Nightly
It really fRUSTrating but..
Awesomeness of new beats all odds

It's been a while since I've said it -

FUCK AI
FUCK ChatGPT o1 whatever the fuck model is it
FUCK Sam Altman

and most of all FUCK all of those extreme leftists. Don't ask me why. Just fuck them.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

All of our products have a 16x2 lcd. Every April fool's we make all of them say some offensive/funny stuff. One year I made an Arduino controller for one of the other engineers units it took him a few hours trying to figure out how I was doing it 'cause he couldn't fix it.

Some days the complexity of it all just kicks my ass. Today is one of those days.

PSD2 ist already annoying. Yesterday was the start day of this new ruleset, but now it is just annoying, because the app I use for all my bank accounts across all banks currently doesn’t work with it...

Ouch. Difficult decision ahead. Be 30 years old. Have a decent amount of experience on the .net stack.

Ditch it all and go all in on Java EE or continue to pursuit mastery of .net?

Angular standalone migration breaks the project on the first step and I cannot find the culprit of the error. So it has to be done manually. Any other idea before doing all by hand? 😩
I guess nuking it all is also an option.

Exercise app got it all planned out in my head (well sort of). All day at work I'll be getting ideas on how id make it.

Day ends and I feel motivated to work on it all the way home. Get in make a cup of tea boot pc create a project do initial commit to git.

And nothing. Motivation dead ability to think gone. So I'll sit there sipping my tea trying to get motivated.

Eventually I'll close it down and get motivation to start it again at 4am which isn't an ideal time to start a project.

it sucks when you write some basic functionality in your code and it doesn't work properly and takes your alot of time!
Even you have been using it always in all projects.

It took a one fucking year to get over her and all it took was couple of birthday pictures of her with her "best friend", I wanna get drunk...

Okay, I've been thinking on this all week.

Microsoft Office (All of it)
itunes
Adobe Creative Cloud (Only The Management Software / Installer)
Apple Mail

I fucking hate all the fucking stress of web development even though it is fun!

Ahhh the feeling of more ram. Pity chromes gonna eat it all

Dont you hate it when you're making something, and you all ready have millions of lines of code. Then when you go to test it, it breaks completely and it was just because of a mispelled word.
