There's nothing like playing Cards Against Downtime with colleagues while lunchtime :D

BAM! It's official. The Dutch people have voted against the new surveillance law!

It's about 49 percent against vs 46 percent in favor and the other part voted blank.

I'm happy as fuck!

Playing cards against downtime with my less tech savvy mates is awesome!

Cheers from Germany 🍻

Dear me,

We have noticed you uploaded files to a public github with your API keys in plaintext.

Please proceed to bang head against desk until you have learned your lesson.

Sincerely me.

Wtf.

Seven hours wasted on this shit :/

This post is in memory of all the devRanters fallen in battle against management stress and impossible deadlines.

Let their memories remain, and their loss never be forgotten.

Ah yes, progress...
Why do SJWs have to infiltrate everything and project their own racist views of the world onto non-problematic terms?
Slavery has existed for as long as humanity and abolishing the terms will definitely not solve slavery and opression.
I am not against Git changing the default name but I am against them doing it in the name of "inclusivity". The technical world exists by merit and not inclusivity. Why make everything about color, race or slavery level?

You dare to use my spells against me?

I accidentally taught my cat to turn off the wifi. Now he is using his powers against me whenever he demands food😅😫🤦

Saw this quote in a local newspaper. The guy is against buying laptops for school kids which I also am against but he makes the wrong argument. 25 years ago my school had computer rooms where we learnt how to code and although I don't use that language now it is still the same concepts as any modern language.

My biggest annoyance?

The amount of hate against JS, I personnaly love JS!

Also my boss's thoughts against me :))

Against all recommendations...I stared into the Eclipse for 6 hours. I think I am blind now.

I almost added a #TODON'T to my code today.

I code through the night until 8 am, then sleep until 6pm+.
My family then calls me out as being unproductive and lazy.
Why must the whole world be oriented against night owls like me? 😥

How to advertise... uhm... not the right way!

The 'beschermd tegen anti-ddos' literally translates to 'protected against anti-ddos'

So then I can DdoS the living shit out of that those services and will be protected against the anti DdoS stuff....?! 🤣

I'm not sure why so many people are against certain languages..

This industry changes overnight so I'm kinda willing to learn anything I need to make my f**king program work...

Imagine telling our distant ancestors we can talk to any person anywhere in the world by tapping fingers against the glass

Learning Vue.js was pretty amazing. I just started using it and got it. I think, with any tool, you know straight away if it's something you will work with rather than against.

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

Ehm. You did what?

I'm internally moved from envy feelings against the very first users of StackOverflow.
The ones that got tens of thousands of upvotes for questions like "how to set the width of a div element?"

I have nothing against windows (use it on main pc) but man does it get slow on "not top of the line" laptops. Linux here i come.

When you advertise against yourself

I used to design and program these systems. Some of the first voice responsive ones. I’m so sorry for my crimes against humanity.

General advice - People aren't against you, they are just for themselves

i was talking with a senior developer and...

...i realized...

...every single thing you people trashtalked against java, was a delusional lie.

I see too many back-end rants against front-ends.

Should we talk about table layouts, malformed html, programatically generated spaghetti wrong markup, css absurd class naming, infinite div wrapping (div-itis), awful usability, poor legibility, terrible typography, wrong color palettes and user-unfriedly design? To name a few horrors i've seen so far.

Some people won't admit that their contempt against HTML and CSS being 'not real code' actually hides their inability or unwillingness to learn it. Or they need the feeling of superiority.

Converting spaces to tabs made my file 10% smaller (5050 characters to 4500).

Either good argument against spaces or my code with compulsive indentation disorder.

Oh god, where to start? It is my job to fight against devs that likes to breaks RFC, do stuff stupidly or just do not actually know how stuff works

So we were trying to make a Go AI bot for our school project and then let it play against itself. Well... it might be able to beat AlphaGo, right?

Why do devs have a grudge against Microsoft?

What do I say to tests that are running against buggy code, you ask?

This is how protest against corruption happens in India :|

Thank god, government people know 'C' 😀

Reading all these posts about 1.5 - 2 million line code bases, is that it!?! Your tiny 1.5 is nothing against my unmanageable 22.5!

Booked an Uber...
ETA: 10 minutes...
*Checks 4 minutes later*
ETA: 12 minutes...
*Calls the driver to confirm pick up*
*waits for another 4 minutes*
ETA: 8 minutes
*Types in this rant with passive aggression*
ETA: 10 minutes...

So, I've waited 10 minutes after an initial ETA of 10 minutes and now I gotta wait 10 minutes extra.

Arggghhhhhh!

I'm not sure who the fuck is at fault here?
The devs? The ones who design the flow? The ones handling the execution at low levels?
Or us, the customers who keep on coming back to their services succumbed to the fact that we don't have many options!

Update: I've had to wait for half an hour till my cab could reach me.
HALF AN HOUR = Practically the time it would have taken me to walk to the cab!

Definitely the best argument against fttn so far.

My father is a programmer by himself so he is cool with it. My mother on the other hand is totally against "any form of technology newer than the telephone." (her words)

Hello my fellow devs.

I just joined devRant.

Slept 8 hours.

Drinking coffee like every day.

Barely able to keep eyes open, fighting against sleeping.

Weather sensitivity sucks....

Add to the tiredness nausea, dizziness and head aches and the torture is perfect.

🤮

It's really annoying when "programmers" who have only worked on one language/framework defend it as superior against any other framework. If you haven't tried Rails, how the fuck can you say Express is better? $;:&/@:$).

PS: if you've tried both and you like Express over Rails, I have nothing against you :)

Came home, opened Instagram and I feel this urge to make a rant about these fcking instagram thots that "code".

I'm not against women that code or anything (in fact, if they got the skill, then I think that is awesome), but I am against those special fcking snowflakes that try to get special attention just because they are a female person that is writing HTML and CSS >.>

Finally we release November release in December. All developers united against sneaky bugs.

Modern programming is like racing against the Universe: programmers try to make code for every idiot, the Universe breeds new kinds of idiots. So far, the Universe is winning outright.🧬

Devrant really goes against the movie techie stereotype. Almost everyone has a girlfriend or wife and family!!!

PHP developers will be amongst the first souls to get into heaven because of all their suffering.

But let’s face it, most of them will go to hell for the atrocities they’ve committed against humanity.

If devs had a version of cards against humanity I'd imagine that it would look like this😂

Today I got called by a someone saying something about my internet but I couldn't actually hear him against the background noise...

I think he mentioned something about having downloaded my internet onto their servers...?

Saw this comment on an issue against npm.

If my boss says "Don't think in the solution space; think in the problem space" one more time, I'm gonna start crying in pain and banging my head against a robot. 🙄😂😂

Yep, today was a Monday. Had a request to truncate some tables. Set up a script to disable constraints, truncate, and re-enable constraint. It ran flawlessly. Too bad I ran against the wrong schema, though. Ran it against a dev schema instead of the requested itest schema, because the dev schema was stuck in my head. Well, I guess I tested it in dev. Against some developers schema. But, hey, it worked flawlessly. Because, you know, when you are pointing at the wrong place, it will always work. Every time.

"you got all that done in a day?"

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

I think that Google has alien employee's.

Because all the stock Android versions do not have a "DARK MODE".

2. Run WinMerge against his version
3. Manually update his version with changes

But there are only 4 spots and 10 people competing.

She basically wants an assistant to help with her photography gig. But many of the skills she's asking for are graphic design related minus the website building.

Fingers crossed that what little knowledge I have there can be enough to get me free housing for 8 weeks. Would also love the chance to build a website. Here's to the interview tomorrow.

Accidentally dragged-n-dropped a very important folder into some other folder because of some hiccup when hovering in an Explorer window using remote desktop against our production server. Then left for home. Gotta love GUIs...

I was experimenting with a load test suite called 'Siege' to build and scale increasingly complex searches against our new site search engine. I assumed that an old iMac couldn't have generated a crushing load against the beta servers and I learned two things the day I wrote and started that script before heading to lunch:

1) Beta and Production shared MSSQL instances
2) That single iMac was more than enough to take the whole production site down...

2year project got cancelled, not because of covid, not because of budget reason, but because a new politician got elected that is against our company industry.

Nice sunday.... i hate my iMac

Why everyone's against HP's laptops?

I have one and it does his job quite well

Was running a script to create ~50 config tables for a project. Didn't check the connection on the window in SSMS. Ran the script against the production payroll db. Panic ensued.

I was going to try going to work today. But it hurts like a bitch. So I ended up needing to take my prescription. I cannot drive when I take this. We don't do remote work. So I have to miss a day.

The prescription gave me really weird dreams last night. I had a dream I was beating the shit out of a skyscraper building. I was like Neo and I kicked its ass. The building tried to attack me, but it lost. What is also weird is I remembered most of my dreams. Involved guns, fighting, and violence against buildings.

I really think we need a category in movies called: "violence against buildings" or "violence against infrastructure".

If He had smitten their first-born,
and had not given us their wealth

If He had given us their wealth,
and had not split the sea for us

Facebook and twitter seems to be deleting posts/tweets supporting Palestine against Israeli genocide & blocking accounts/pages whoever/whichever writes against Israel. That's a shame!

Functional-Declarative languages should only be esoteric ones. They are interesting for research and a mathematical toy, but they should not be used for programming languages used in the real world.

I currently try to write OpenSCAD code that places a list of modules, with information given from an array, with varying sizes next to each other. And is so hard and cumbersome. Whoever had the idea to cripple OpenSCAD by not having variables was stupid or sadistic.

The actual CPU run instructions, one after the other, there is no good reason to not allow some imperative elements in a programming language.

There are days I like to pull my hair out and create a dynamic 4D map that holds a list of records. 🤯

Yes there's a valid reason to build this map, generally I'm against this kind of depth 2 or 3 is usually where I draw the line, but I need something searchable against multiple indexes that doesn't entail querying the database over and over again as it will be used against large dynamic datasets, and the only thing I could come up with was a tree to filter down on as required.

Are rants against oneself allowed here? Anyway, instead of writing code based on half-assed guesses just FUCKING STOP and FUCKING THINK about the problem at hand! This way you don't have to bang your head against the keyboard. POOR KEYBOARD! Anyway, now it works and I need sleep.

I really like Julias typesystem, but method dispatch makes it easy to accidentally match against methods you didn't intend.

I'm just a developer. So why the heck do I have to spend whole days talking to potential bussiness partners, discussing possible deals, preparing plan for next year and organizing various coworkers (including some managers) to fulfil the other deal that I haven't helped to negotiate. If I wanted to track so many things, speak to so many people and not write a single line of code whole days, I would have became manager and would ask for different salary!
