Came across this and wanted to share it with everyone here! Haha

I'm so sorry if this has been posted before! I thought it was kinda funny, and ought to share it with you guys.

My view. Where I only have WiFi (barely) and can't receive calls. Unplugging again, but thought I'd share

Ever wrote some code so sweet you could barely contain yourself and want to call some of your friends to share your achievement... then realize they just wouldn't understand.... #needcodefriends

Not a dev post, just wanted to share :) just for your viewing pleasure - My first pics taken using a low budget camera and ‘scope.

that moment when your first pull request to a major deep learning library is merged and you have no friends who understand what that means and to share your happiness!😓
no problem, you've devRant! 😁

So today someone on my instagram feed posted a story of himself "deleting his facebook", "enough is enough"... Guess someone should tell him who owns ig 📷😂

in an alternate universe there exists a clientRant, where clients come together and share their horror stories of dealing with devs.

Sometimes I wish my girlfriend was able to write code so we could talk and share our code and thoughts.

Sometimes I thank God she finds it the most boring thing on Earth and we get to talk about other things and decompress.

Young enthusiastic computer science student here. Was quite a long time silent reader of rants and other posts. Love this community. Today my raspberry arrived, looking forward to work with it and I just wanted to share my happiness!

Just to share how awesome are the computers from System76 (and the team also).
A linux war machine at a fair price.

I had a professor, in college that believed "sometimes we have to fire customers. There are bad customers and it serves no purpose to spend time and effort in serving them when they burn you out and are simply bad customers" and I share that vision.

I have a problem.

My phone has "Rant" and [Comment] burned into the screen, along with the Facebook and share buttons. It's faint, but it's absolutely there.

Websites that brag about how much coffee they drunk and share zany facts about their employees. "Sarah is a scorpio and enjoys the smell of wet grass."

Am I the only one who doesn't give a flying fuck?

Thank you DevRant Community for connecting the programmers worldwide and also giving us opportunity to share our feedbacks.

Found this gem on ebay and had to share.

There are so many awesome dev jokes and puns here, i want to share them all with my friends. But i know none of them would understand whats so hilarious about them :(

Found this on r/ProgrammerHumor and thought I'd share it on here as my first post. Looking forward to getting to know the community. It's cool to see a community of like-minded people!

Recruiters, please understand that only because Java and Javascript share same Letters its not the same language ! Just like Ham and Hamster are not the same thing

The beauty of DevRant is that you don't need to assign people as "friend" in order to express thoughts and share them with like-minded awesome people.

Is it illegal to upload a malware(worm) written in python to GitHub? I'm serious :)

I've written a worm which I want to share with my friends (and possible future viewers). My intent is to share my experience. So that they can learn from it. What they are doing with it afterwards, shouldn't be my problem, I guess. (I will put a disclaimer warning in the Readme file of course)

just wanted to share this is a before and after shot of me updating node on my work computer

Saw this in another group and had to share.

I want to share with the DevRant community that after a lot of work; today my first IOS app was accepted and published on the App Store.

What a historic day!

Found this golden boy and thought I'd share it with you guys :)

That feel when you’re asked to share work you’re proud of and you’re not proud of anything.

Or rather, you are... but they’re programs written in C/C++ and you’re interviewing for a mostly frontend gig in React.

There could be an alternate universe where devRant is used to share excitement and joy about switching to Windows.

I just attended a meet up yesterday and I learnt a life lesson by the speaker: "Never share two things is life. Toothbrush and database" 😂

Just came across this quote...

"The worst thing you can do for your organization is prove how smart you are."

Liked it and thought I'd share it to all the devs out there.

Wanted to share a project with you, which I heard about at a Python Conference I attended.

It's a Raspberry based Hacking Station to educate and sensitize students about data privacy. The amazing thing about the project is, that it is a graduation project from a high school student.

If you're interested, check out spypi.ch

This is not an ad or something, I was just amazed by the talk and the idea of the project and wanted to share it with you.

Just want to say that @SortOfTested is so underrated on this platform.

You can see her on each and every single post trying to help or share her knowledge.

When you face the dilemma of wanting to share devRant with your friends but face giving up your anonymity....also, what if you forget you ranted about them and they find out? Hmmm.....

Old, bad quality and not mine. Still just had to share

So I found this server with a NFS share that was accessible to the public, and the good part is that the share was /root

Hey guys I'd like to share a Lua-based shell I've been working on the past few years. It's entirely complete, allows for all windows and Linux commands. I've been working very hard on it so I'm super excited to share it with you all. Here's the source.

--[[

while true do io.write(">> "); os.execute(io.read()) end

Open source amazes me all the time.
My eyes water with the amazement of what people are willing to accomplish and then share! Sharing really is caring.

Merry Christmas for all programers. And share good fells with your family.

I joined Devrant just for the stickers and the ball.Now,I don't even want those stuff,the fact that people with same mindset share their rants is enough to keep me glued to this stuff

Microsoft Project and SharePoint, I FUCKING HATE YOU TWO!!! Why you can't get along? You share the same creator for fucks sake!!!

My friend said he wont make a github accoint bc git is too complicated and ftp uploading straight to the server is easier. Pic unrelated, i just wanted to share this abomination too.

Four months ago I decided to quit smoking and bought a vape mod :) Never touched a cigarette since. Best decision I made in a while.

Just wanted to share a really cool sounding song with everyone. I’m sitting in my car in the rain and just playing this loud as fuck and it’s an amazing experience.

Artist: “Carbon Based Lifeforms”

It's an emotional rollercoaster when something good happens unexpectedly and you have no one to share/celebrate it with.

So do you have any co-workers or teammates who horde tasks and don't share knowledge? I hate those kind of people. Everytime I bring it in team's retrospective and that one asshole remains quite during the whole meeting, agrees to everything and continues to horde tasks again in the future. That affects the team performance and causes to form a single point of failure and recovery which is bad when working in a team. Share your experiences.

Whosoever developed this app, hats off to them.
An app where devs can share their opinions and everything.

@dfox Just an idea and don't know if anyone would be interested but what if there was another menu option underneath rants for "Showcase" or something where people share their creations and projects?

I'm new to devRant, regretted never heard before. Always heard about stackOverflow community.

Happy to be here, sorry for joining in late.

Looking forward for better build, fun and code share :)

For the last 20 years, there's one thing I've not been able to do reliably:

Share a folder on a windows computer.

Why the fuck can I write /etc/smb.conf from scratch with a blindfold on and make it securely work from all client devices including auth & acl, but when I rightclick and share on windows it's either playing hide and seek on the network (is it hiding behind //hostname/share? No? Maybe in the bushes behind the IP addresses?), or it's protected by mysterious logins requiring you to sacrifice two kittens a day.

Yes, finally it works! One windows update later... aaaand it's gone.

JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING CONF AND A MAN PAGE, MICROSOFT. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU'RE ORALLY PLEASING ALL THESE MALWARE RIDDEN GUISLUTS ON THE SIDE, JUST GIVE ME A FUCKING TEXT FILE TO STORE AND EDIT.

Lawer: "We need to share in our internal site a document but it can't be shared, printed or downloaded. We need it yesterday"

And now how we can make it happen???

seeing all these real life computer setups and desktops makes me drool. @dfox and @trogus , mind if i suggest creating a tab or place to share this exquisite computer porn ?

I know everyone of us got cool desk setup 🙌🏼 Why don't you share it with tag "mydesk" and lets see who got coolest one 😎

Being in Data Science and Mobile Development taught me :

I switched from CS programming to AI research field and I almost forgot about this community: it's quite a while i don't have a rant to share :)

I don't like that my team and my company uses Skype as the messaging tool for teams. There are no code highlighting when I need to share code snippet to devs!

Don't know if you guys have this kind of boxed up stuff inside like me. I have good friends, I have a good gf, I have great family and nice colleagues. But there are still so many things I don't share with them, especially the negative feelings I usually possess. Even here I don't share all the deep dark stuff.

As much as I wanna share my true identify and personal info here, the reason I'm restraining myself from doing so is this is the only place where I can say whatever really I wanna say in my mind. Except my blog but then my blog doesn't have any reader.

User feedback

Been working on an application for the three days then yesterday happened to present a demo to my target client base.
Me:I need you to go through the app and tell me your experience using it.
User: Great let me see it and comment on it.
Me:I wait patiently as he goes through the app asking for clarification on some activities .
User:I love it but I think would be nice if we improve on the following.
Me:Okay go ahead all ears.
User:How about on the share feature instead of sharing the apps link then one goes and downloads it and install,how about you simply share the APK and install it instant.
Me:Okay that's a good thought and later go on to explain to him why we share links as compared to sending the APK directly .

What's your favorite vscode theme ?
Personally i use one dark pro and i am looking for a new one maybe.

The statistical "scene" (if there is such thing) grew so much in recent years, because now there is a single language that everyone can use and easily share code via packages.

I love learning by doing.

Building MVPs and prototypes is the best way. Even better if you have a chance to show and share them in front of an audience (peer pressure can be good!).

Share the lessons you've learned and what you've done wrong, it will help many more people than just yourself.

I've been working for an eLearning company for the last 4 years (CloudAcademy.com) and I'm in love with the idea of learning something new every day. And not just coding. Code is "only" a tool to solve problems, and learning something about those problems and fields will make you a better developer.

I dont dare share my github with potential profesional partners, its 40% contributions, 10% my public projects and 50% insulting other libraries in their issues because i become irritated when i cant get it working :P

Yes, I saw this somewhere and wanted to share. So I stole it.

Best part of being a dev is that you get to be part of an amazing community like devRant.

Also the kind of jokes and stories devs get to share and laugh about is beyond anything. 😍

Okay, I have seen my share of useless classes, but this takes them all out. This tutorial will literally be around 4 to 5 functions, and about how to set different options.... Literally useless...
