Our CTO has been told, this morning by management, that our development department is "too quiet" and that it's spoiling "the atmosphere" of the office space.

So we've ordered mechanical keyboards.

...this

LOL...

Laughed more than I'd like to admit tbh

Four months ago changed a laptop failing hdd and give it back to customer. Today I got a 30 minutes call because the computer "is not like before the repair, it doesn't work well".

*Thinks* Well, s#*@, before the repair the hdd had more than 2000 damaged clusters, which prevented even the os to start

*Says* "Could you describe me the issue?"
....
...
[ basically he was saying that since he started using IE as a browser, he didn't have Google.com set as the first page and that he had to bing it]
...
"When did the 'issue' start, If I may ask?"

>"Two weeks ago. "

Two weeks ago.
Two f*""#ng weeks ago.
Set aside for the nature of the issue, you blame my four months ago repair for a two weeks ago issue?
"The computer was better before"?
THAT F###ING MACHINE WAS LIKE A BURNING HOUSE - I RESCUED DATA FOR 2 DAYS JUST BEFORE THE HDD STARTED TO CRANK AT EVERY SPIN - I REBUILT IT TO GIVE IT YOU BACK FULLY WORKING AFTER YOU USED AS A FOOTBALL, AND NOW YOU BLAME ME BECAUSE THE
BROWSER ISN'T SETTED AS YOU LIKE

No,seriously, is like I rebuilt a burned house from scrap and now the owner blames me because in the kitchen sink the hot water tap is on the right side instead of the left side.
Seriusly, wtf.

"So what got you in to development and programming?"

Me: well. I needed something to new to help with my depression, stress and anger.

"Oh cool. Did it help?"

Me: yes... They're so much stronger now.

Color jokes

Oh yeah. Hey guys. 2 things.
First off. Forgot to say. Officially got a job. Finally. So thank you for all the help/advice and patience with my depressive rants!!

I'm in a new chapter of my life now so thanks.

And secondly.

I FUCKING HATE MY JOB

Me: *clicks sign out*

Yahoo: "Are you sure you want to sign out?"

Me: DID I FUCKING STUTTER!?

Assembly: He’s the nerd. He speaks very quickly and uses short sentences. Very few people talk to him. He’s considered to be an autist asperger by a majority of the class because he finishes the exams so quickly it’s insane and he faces a lot of difficulties in speaking with others. He’s at school but already dressed like an engineer.

Ada: She’s a foureyes nerd. When she gets the answer she’s doesn’t make any mistake. Ada often corrects the teacher when she writes a line a little ambiguous. She’s building a rocketship in her backyard and she’s always speaking about this weird hobby.

Python: He’s Mr Popular. He likes skate, brags about all the parties he’s invited to. He’s good in all the subjects taught in class but he’ll do them a bit slower than the others. Everyone loves him because he explainsthings so well, sometimes the teacher herself asks Python to explain some part of the course. He’s dressed with a hoodie, a baggy and glasses on the top of the head ;)

Java: She is one of the toppers of the class and very popular. She’s very good in all the topics. The teacher loves her but she’s a very talkative person.

Scala/Kotlin: They are twin sisters and the best friends of Java. Unfortunately, they are not as popular and it’s often Java who takes the lead in the group. It’s very difficult to distinguish one from another. Both are far less talkative than Java but Scala speaks a bit differently than Kotlin and Java.

C: He’s the topper of the class. He’s so fast in completing the exams that the teacher really thinks he’s copying Assembly’s work. He has a little brother C++ and they share a lot in common together. He’s the chess major and often plays chess with Assembly and his big brother.

Go: He’s the new kid on the bloc. He doesn’t like C++ and his friends and he wants to prove he can do better than them. Of course, he prefers playing Go over Chess.

APL: He’s a lonely guy. No one understands him when he speaks. Even the teacher is surprised when APL shows a correct answer after several lines of incomprehensible pictograms. People think that he was born in a foreign country… or a foreign planet ?

HTML/CSS: These twin brothers are very different. One is dressed in black and white and the other is dressed with everything except black and white. HTML is very talkative and annoying and the CSS is very artistic. CSS is the best student in Art lessons and HTML performs well in written expression.

LaTeX: She’s friend of HTML. The teacher likes her because she has a gift of writing. LaTeX likes the mathematical courses because she can draw fancy greek letters. The teacher knows this well and she is often asked to write a formula on the black board.

VBA: He’s in the back, looking through the windows. Not really interested in the courses taught in class. In the exams, he answers always with a table.

C#: He’s in the back playing yet another game on his smartphone. He likes being next to the windows also.

JavaScript: People often mix up Java and JavaScript because they have a similar name. But they are definitly not the same. Javascript spends a lot of time with HTMLand CSS. He’s as artistic as CSS but he prefers things that move. He likes actions and movies. CSS dreams to be a painter wheras JavaScript wants to be a film-maker.

Haskell: He’s a goth. Dressed up in dark. Doesn’t talk to anyone. He doesn’t understand why others write pages when he can write a couple of lines to answer the same question.

Julia: She’s the newest student here. She doesn’t have any friends yet but her secret aim is to be as popular as Python and as fast as C.

Telling people I don't need GIT and prefer to do things via FTP for years. That is till today when I accidentally deleted everything.

sudo apt-get install git

Dev: "What if the user has more than 100 entries? How would that display?"
UX: "They won't ever have that many"
Dev: "But what if they do?"
UX: "They won't."

(spoiler: they do)

Email from a company I applied To:

"Hi... We will be in touch by the 7th of November"

Me:... It's December already. Maybe I missed it.

Second email: "Sorry! Typo. It's meant to say 7th of November. Refer to this instead"

Me: ...

THIRD email: "So sorry. Or mailing system is failing so disregard all those emails and refer to this one. Thank you."

Me: ... WHERE THE FUCK IS THE DATE!??

Upwork:
"Hey freelancer, sorry we can't let you join this website made for freelancers like you as there are too many freelancers like you on this site made for freelancers like you"

What did ms word tell excel?
Dude I don't wanna deal with your sheet right now.

Is it just me or is stack overflow full of dicks?

Waiting on page break....

Ask questions during interview.
Ask about trainings - it's usually a good sign when company offers training budget. Ask about specifics - sometimes it's a shared pluralsight account, and nothing else, which means that that had an idea and half assed it into existence.
Ask tech recruiter about overtime, a good sign is when they have no idea or say that it must be budgeted and scheduled - it means that it does not happen often.
Ask if it is possible to select and change projects, and how often it happens - if often, it may be bad low level management, or people learning new things and jumping between projects.
Also make sure to ask about rules for promotions and pay rises. Good company wił have a clear set of rules in place.
All of the above apply to mid to large companies.
For small company, i'm sure it will be different.

Ok yeahhh it’s not me.

Just got told I didn’t pass an interview that lasted 15 minutes with him talking about the company and no questions for me.

My interviewers lately have just been unfortunate

I didn't know devRant was two months old..you all rant like you've been here since 2011

This. Also. Applies. To. The. Devs.

Why didn't I comment my code on Friday...

Want to work on a pet project, but gf demands all of my time. So, I work at nights. Then I get bitched at why I'm always tired and don't want to do anything -.-

Ayy. Finally hit the 1000++ point. Now I can get the shirt that I literally have 5 of irl for my avatar

Programming Languages are Like Cars:

Assembler: A formula I race car. Very fast but difficult to drive and maintain.

FORTRAN II: A Model T Ford. Once it was the king of the road.

FORTRAN IV: A Model A Ford.

FORTRAN 77: a six-cylinder Ford Fairlane with standard transmission and no seat belts.

COBOL: A delivery van. It's bulky and ugly but it does the work.

BASIC: A second-hand Rambler with a rebuilt engine and patched upholstery. Your dad bought it for you to learn to drive. You'll ditch it as soon as you can afford a new one.

PL/I: A Cadillac convertible with automatic transmission, a two-tone paint job, white-wall tires, chrome exhaust pipes, and fuzzy dice hanging in the windshield.

C++: A black Firebird, the all macho car. Comes with optional seatbelt (lint) and optional fuzz buster (escape to assembler).

ALGOL 60: An Austin Mini. Boy that's a small car.

ALGOL 68: An Aston Martin. An impressive car but not just anyone can drive it.

Pascal: A Volkswagon Beetle. It's small but sturdy. Was once popular with intellectual types.

liSP: An electric car. It's simple but slow. Seat belts are not available.

PROLOG/LUCID: Prototype concept cars.

FORTH: A go-cart.

LOGO: A kiddie's replica of a Rolls Royce. Comes with a real engine and a working horn.

APL: A double-decker bus. It takes rows and columns of passengers to the same place all at the same time but it drives only in reverse and is instrumented in Greek.
Ada: An army-green Mercedes-Benz staff car. Power steering, power brakes, and automatic transmission are standard. No other colors or options are available. If it's good enough for generals, it's good enough for you.

Java: All-terrain very slow vehicle.

No one is safe when I hit a wall... Not even my best friends.

Microsoft Edge: "We support modern Web technologies."

I'M SO MAD ABOUT THIS

Never had one due to this trick I borrowed from an old friend.
So we all know about those meetings where its all crap flying around right?.
First go in there with your alarm clock set on vibration every 7 minutes(trust me on this-makes you look important and you ought to be somewhere else)
Actually the alarm is a reminder that you need to bring yourself back online.
At this point just listen to the speaker for a couple of seconds(especially if its marketing dept) and being the engineer your are; rephrase parts of their presentation in a question-comment hybrid( at this point you're the wisest looking person in the room)
Now go back to thinking about that pizza slice you left in the fridge as they discuss the "lean production" methods that they can use based on "your opinion"..
To more happy meetings..cheers

Can one of the dev-senpais tell me stories of what using this was like?

Absolutely bad

Found online
Found kinda funny

Welp. My door fell on my desk and broke it so there goes me coding.

Real question tho. How do y'all actually put stickers directly on your laptop??
Like. For me that's some serious level of commitment. I always want to but I worry I'll hate it eventually and removing it would suck and scar

I can't even put stickers on the cases 😭😭 but like. Seeing a fresh new looking body when you take everything off is always soo soothing to me

Can I claim Spotify on expenses?

Welp. That was fun.

Just had an interview I wasn't even expecting. Basically the company emailed me saying that the role has been filled and as such the interview has been canceled.

And I'm like ok. Thanks for letting me know.

Then at literally the same time someone sent me a skype request asking me if I'm ready.

I get another email saying they're sorry about the inconvenience and hope my front end interview goes well... like. Wtf.

Why didn't they specify which? And why wait so long ffs.

I had two interviews with them. They stood me up on the last one and i emailed and never heard back.

So now I just had the most awkward interview in my life.

I was so rattled I forgot the answer to a simple af question. What's a JavaScript closure.

I wanna cry but it was so bad I wanna laugh

Before new years eve I prepared a sheet on google sheets that allowed people to add drink recipes and order drinks (specify how many of each drink they want), calculated part of budget each person had to cover and generated shopping list of drink components with exact amounts needed.
It was more fun to make that thing than to attend the party.

Client: if you build me this one site super cheap I will give you another project because then I trust you

Me: interesting ...

When you run into your ex/visit your parents that thought you were wasting your life.

So I had an interview. Went well. But apparently while they liked me I didn't show passion for development.

Any tips on how to that? Cause like... I like it and all but who really can show passion for working for someone else.

Tips please. Or job opportunities!!!

Am I a developer or a professional Googler?

Yeah I get what the intention was but like... why? I feel there are way better ways to do this

(Ps. I've become the pic post guy)

Why do XML API-s still exist? WHY? It's like walking up to a hot chick hoping to get a number, but she turns around and smiles with no teeth.

I've found a new love and her name is Ruby on rails

"The role: You will be designing and building responsive emails on a daily basis using HTML5/ CSS3/JavaScript"

Errrrrrrmmmm...

If only.

Tbh. When I read about ruby and how it was meant to be as close to English as possible a little part of me was hoping for this

...cry.

Ya boi got a python interview today.

....when did I post that I was learning python again? 😭😭😂

Accurate...

...I think. THINK. That I might have indeed spent too much time in front of the computer...

The team spirit in our team has improved over the past 1 month with this etiquette..
*walk up to team member
*no greetings
Just say " bring yourself back online"
Watch them light up..share those ten Westworld seconds..ask for what you need
..and the hell back to your desk
..cheers

So like... did every social media app meet up and go
"yo!
Ordering notifications and timelines chronologically in a way that makes sense?
Yeah mate, fuck it!"?

I just saw the equalizer 2 at the cinema and about half way through there is a phone with "military grade encryption" on it. We see the phone screen showing the encryption and what is it? Freaking JQuery!

Bruhhh

Okay. Is there really anyone who wouldn't get this

Passed a code test for once and invited to interview with engineers.

I’m nervous yet proud. Any tips? It’s the first time I’ve reached this point

Five interviews and challenges later and I’m told they won’t be going further with me.
Over month of my life. Finally thought this was the one. But oh well. Depression.

I officially quit being a dev.

It’s been rad y’all.

I kno my strengths

Started a new job last week. Pays a tad below average for position, but i get training time and budget for anything i want.
So far i have had few days of company introduction, and now a week for training courses related to position.
I have not seen any code yet, brought no value in, just joined.
Massive green flag to me.

Fml I need a job

Happiness, job satisfaction and mental stability.... we need that in the next patch

When Musk lands us on mars and we set up WiFi please don't send us links with those pop-up ads

i love when they ask you to upload your cv and turn it into an incoherent mess.

thanks.

Ya bois learning python.

Do people really struggle with CSS?

I thought it was just design and ideas but is it actual CSS y’all struggle with?

Not judging. Just asking to be sure

An update on my rant about that interview I had.
They emailed saying they're sorry I didn't pass etc.

My literal response was: wow. Shocker. No shit I didn't pass 😂

Baby all I want for Christmas is Uuuuuuuuu-I design that made sense while being cute.

Late I know. But I just thought of it.

Scary sysadmin is scary

Made an app for college tech fest. Used devRant profile image as one of the event.

I didn't know "bandwidth" can be so hard to understand even after 2 hrs explaining..client still wants widgets with autoplay videos..God why?

just saw the humour in the last sentence after sending this to my class..

Building a repo for my resumes and forking a version based on job description

Nobody :When do you get more ideas for projects?
Me : Ofc while preparing for exams😅

I NEED A JOB

*gets banned from asking questions on stack overflow*

Yup. Seems about right.

Tbh it was time 😭

Ooh. Here's a "deep" one.

For the self thought/online learners, at what point did you consider yourself an "actual" developer and felt ready to go out and apply for jobs and stuff?

And what challenges/reactions did you face?

Company i work for just posted updated pay rates.
It's good. They went from lower end of spectrum to a little above the average in terms of pay, and benefits stay the same - solid.

To those following the saga so far...

ya boi just had his followup python interview.

YIKES. Like, i aint even sure if it went bad or not.
Wish me luck.

Corey Schafer! Bless me!!!

I started for this but now I really enjoy it here.

Happened to know this devRant app from a friend. And these community of developers are lit ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Anyone know small-medium companies hiring front end devs around the eu?

Or any recruiters with a soul?

React btw. Thanks.

Why yes. This is a last resort. Thanks for noticing/criticizing

That moment you write and test HTML code on your phone in a metro bus and a brother looks at you like you're from the future

React on Rails can go fuck itself

Not leaning on unit tests. I usually write them after testing my code manually, and lose time for testing feature by hand.

It took me putting on my glasses to make sure these pixels were real and not just blind ass not seeing shit.

Anyone else like... REALLY bad at algorithms and logic stuff?

I just hate them so much.

Tell me to build something and gg done. But all these tests for jobs freak me out.

Like. It probably ends up being something simple and when it's explained I know what to do but at first I just instantly shut down and can't think.

So what exactly is it like working as a developer?

I'm still in the learning phase but I can't seem to picture what exactly it is you'll be doing daily if you get hired.

Is it like constant coding? But like, the site is already made and is huge.

Or is it like making new stuff? But then like, there's already a big company site.

It's what I wanna do but I honestly can't imagine how it will work different from doing it for yourself

My current situation🥴

I keep posting that I need job and I appreciate the feedback but I feel just saying that makes it seem like I'm not trying.

Like. I legit don't know. Could it be my cv that's a dud? Thinking of paying a resume writing thing

Cause I'm actually trying hard af to learn new stuff as well keep doing what I'm good at.

I got one interview in a year and even then they didn't gimme the chance to show tech side. It's soo tilting.

I'm actually competent though inexperienced I think.

Any advice or questions please. I legit need to sort this out this year. Like its very important that I do.

Help.

Can we all just combine side projects/help each other and get them all done?

so i just realised my stack overflow ban came after less than 10 questions in total...

how dumb am i exactly??? man’s got real questions to ask now

Web developers know the feelings.

Why the hell does that happen?

Err. I'm working on something this is a stupid question. But is there a way to save data and stuff without having to go into back end?

If not or if there is. What should I look into/learn to get it done without having to go too deep

Accidentally cleared user accounts table that connects mobile apl accounts with main system accounts. Almost had a heart attack​ but luckily Azure had point in time restore 😌

Err. Any web developers or recruitment people able to please give me feedback on my resume?

I'd greatly appreciate the help 😭

Today's achievement: wrote game of life in K3.

neigh:{(+/,/-1 0 1!'\:/:-1 0 1!\:x)-x}
life:{(x*2=neigh x)|3=neigh x}

I’m always tired all the time. Depression and what not but today I am TIRED

Had an interview that requires vanilla javascript but I suck at algos even tho I was getting it done till time ran out. We gelled tho so I hope they see potential and move to next round.

But the good news is. I had a follow up interview based on a challenge. It’s the second I’ve ever had and I did well this time.
So much so that they’re booking another interview for tomorrow.
So I’m done with the technical portions of the process.
This is the first time I’ve gotten this far and I’m so happy. I’m hoping really that this is the one cause I doubt I have the energy and will power to keep going though the processes.

I’m so excited. It’s as if all my work is slowly showing and I’m getting closer and closer

Wish me luck guys. Hopefully I ace it as I come across well In General Chats.

This is my last application. If it doesn’t work I think I’m done with dev life and job hunt.

Fingers crossed I’ve found the one

No better way to start a weekend than with a shit show of an interview on a Friday morning

All hail the one professor who taught me the importance of sharing knowledge

Was trying to pull an all nighter to meet a deadline and I accidentally fell asleep. I was also texting a new person I liked at the same time.

Dreamt I got so much work done and was still texting and got into an argument.

Woke up, but by the time I realized what happened and that I slept off I had already randomly texted something aggressive and insulted 😭

So yeah. Guess who got no work done and is probably gonna be single for life 😂

How do people make clones without tutorials!? 😭😭

I'm tryna clone bleacher report but have no clue where to start cause they're no guides anywhere

No one on stack overflow can answer my question and I wanna cry

Client: " Want a brown horse with white spot in it's head"

Me:" Done!! "

How many times does Xcode need to download!????

Press X to JSON

Sighhhhhh.
SIGHHHHHH.
been looking for days now and can’t still figure out how to sort with redux.

Write an APL compiler.

I think I'm a dev.... sigh.

After I quit I didn't do it but out of all my interests and hobbies this one kept bugging me. So yeahhhhhh. I'm a dev.

Speaking of. Got bored and finally made a portfolio website. It's not great but people were asking for a link to my cV. So let me know what you think and I can get around to adjusting.

It's

Www.almxnames.com

Everything becomes more sequential and functional => APL will come back

Here we go again...

Here(Kerala) covid cases raising day by day.. Almost like lockdown here.... Back to boring Online classes, heavy assignment, homeworks.... Here we go again...
Just like before....

Btw stay safe and be healthy... Our health is on our hand... Have a nice day❤

Hey. Need to beef up my portfolio as well as gain more experience.

If anyone needs some design/styling help or input please hit me up!!

Doesn't have to be paid actually.

Mind awake;body asleep

It's bad enough that Facebook videos in my country have ads but some cunt actually had the genius idea to make the tagline for their ad "Un-skippable quality"

Not sure I can even be mad at how trolly that is 😭😂

The hotel I'm staying at only has mini toilet paper that I have had to call for an embarrassing number of times yet they're tryna judge me for wanting pasta at 3 am???

Like, we've passed that stage. I feel no shame anymore!!

I think what's keeping me going right now is discovering devs love rubber ducks so I can finally give into my secret addiction

Hello y’all.

Could someone please show me what their/a good developer cover letter looks like?

It’s the thing that’s hardest for me at the moment

Babels

*updates LinkedIn with new jobs*

*Wakes up to invites and messages from recruiters who wasted my time then disappeared*

*Some from people who I didn't even removed me*

Oh my. Whatever will I do in this situation? 😈

Gonna go with youth--
😂

I've confused the grindr logo for devRant more times than I'd like to admit

Ayy. It's time. Someone wants to hire me to make a site for them...

How much do I charge? 😭. They also said they want it as an exclusive design that I can't do for anyone else. It's one of my first proper ones so its basically my baby

But yeah. How much is appropriate?
Do bare in mind that I'm broke af 😂. Suggestions in GBP please

Is JavaScript actually useless on its own??

Will I get a job this year? Will I move and be happy?

Tune in to find out.

Can someone-not me- make a way to go lower than the lowest brightness setting on my phone?

Thanks.
From me and my shut in photophobic eyes

Hello council of elders.. or should I say "console"? Heh? Heh? I've been up for a long time sorry.

Anyway. I've started learning framework stuff. Angular right now. Been long overdue tbh. And I found a free course on udemy and followed it. It's cool and everything but I gotta ask...

Why can't I just use vanilla js and everything from scratch? I'm not sure if its the course I'm using (I'd appreciate more resources. Thanks) but I feel like it's a lot of effort. Is there something I'm missing or haven't learned yet?

It might sound stupid please let me know why it's better to use that than regular methods. Apparently it's meant to make stuff easier but I feel like it's just a lot linking files and making various things in different places.

Also. Other stupid question which might just be cause of the course but like... Is it mostly just for manipulating json??

Thanks. More questions to come soon!!

My grandfather taught me APL and I taught myself C/C++ and Java. Then I went and got a degree.

er guys... I don’t think i can code anymore.

I was unable to do anything for like 2 weeks while i was away and it’s been a month since i got back and like... I’m blanking out big time. I sit and stare at my computer and everything but there is like 0 motivation/interest. I’m fairly new to it tbh so i thought this is was a good time to try new languages but still no.

Any ideas or advice please? It’s like come weird ass code block.

Debating whether to be the guy that posts deep slash depressing shit on here. Or let my other personality of a meme Lord handle my devRant

Pose a question to the students and check devRant as they come up with an answer ..which happens to fix that bug on a freelance project you're doing..
<schemes>

Trying to create a news site with a built-in forum... Not as easy as I thought tbh

I worked on a smart locker software with another developer a year back. Really cool stuff where you mix Node.js with real hardware. That another developer built the thing on Angular, despite not having a clue how to use it. We got fired, but those smart lockers are deployed to a lot of places now and whenever I see one I stop and feel proud because the API that powers it was written by me. Despite not getting a cent due to that other developer.

on a pleasant note,

Seriously, fuck myPhpAdmin. Fuck c9 and fuck MySql. My connection is solid i can do mini crap. my ajax call is good too. so idk why.

Ive spent over a week on a bug and now “occasionally working” is the best I can get and im not even sure why.

This assignment is due today.

I cant even try to do it locally cause for some reason myphpadmin and mysql dont wanna work on my laptop so yay fuck me.

I might be wrong but all the interviewers I’ve had lately have been duds and didn’t know how to interview

Like. I can’t tell if I sucked or they had no personality and energy for me to work off of

When my mom asked what would I like to have - sweet corn or Avacado.
I said - Let's document all the possible approaches and setup some time to discuss pros and cons.

Coding
-------------
I started just for a time pass. Then slowly
liked that.. Now I love it...
I think...... I'm addicted🙃

Does anyone know of a way to have multiple servo motors run simultaneously (Arduino)

My new goal is to get a great af job but still appear as open and looking online so it'll be turn to fuck with recruiters and waste their time

Send an email.
Or, more seriously: invite only people who must be there, and can add something to the discussion, have an agenda, stick to it, and plan the meeting so that it ends at the start of lunch break. That way everybody will be interested in finishing on time or earlier.

Will do design work for 15 bucks.
Anything. Anywhere. Any takers?

Anyone here ever used a Dvorak keyboard? To code or In general?

so I have both PyCharm and VScode running for the same project. It’s React Redux Django so my servers and stuff are running through pycharm while i edit and code on VS cause PyCharm is crap for react and javascript.

But VS cant seem to run my crap without additional steps which PyCharm does for you automatically like the virtual env

Is there a better way to do this or is this my life now?

I spent ~12h working on a simple issue/bug.
7h was spent on rebuilding local dev environment which is a clusterfuck of maven profiles, tomcat, some autogenerated degeneracy, and 2 different build systems for JS.
5h spent on actual bug fixing, code reviews and so on.

Here's a question that I still don't know how to respond.

What's the expected salary of a front end developer?

In euros please.

Damn you devpost. That Alexa skill I submitted definitely *does* use APL, and *does* qualify for the participation prize.

(The fact I can now churn out Alexa skills eligible for most of these prizes in a few minutes is besides the point, gimme gimme please.)

Does anyone know how to make a custom rom (android)

God damn hebrew error messages ... Why did I choose PHP all these years ago?

Mansplaining stories are my favorite thing on the internet right now tbh

Anyone got any good ones?

*hot chic from office walks up to me*
Her: hi,are you the computer guy?

Me: heey,that's me..wassup

Her: nothing,you just seem different from the others ..you're so calm under all these deadlines.

Me: sure, when I'm frustrated I go to devrant

Her: where's that?

Me: exactly

Her: you're so funny.
Me: wanna grab lunch

* nothing ever happens how I imagine them..except code*

I want to be productive but the only thing on my mind is Pop Team Epic.

Help! 😭

Hi guys. Finally cleared up my time. Well not really but I wanna do something else cause I've been depressed af lately so I wanna try stuff I enjoyed.

Anyway. Last time I got quite a few from here but anyone need help with design/styling of projects? Wanna boost portfolio. Can use sketch or directly code in the styling for you.

For free. Though I wouldn't pizza money haha.

Let me know if you have/need anything
Thanks.

Anyone good with react-native? I need help cause I'm about to lose my shit 😭 not even exaggerating when I say I've cried many times over this.

am I the only language designer here with background in APL, Haskell and Perl?

Guess I am :-(

while (200 parts of code !=1 part of coffee;rant++)

Learning APL.
I felt like a noob again
(and then like a god).

I felt like crying at a startup pitch event..great ideas. crappy presenters

Hey so I have to make something using both angular and rails and I wanna ask. After I manage to get angular running on rails, do I just proceed to build what I wanted on angular normally? Or is there a special way I have to do.

I'm learning to build something but I can't find specific guides on how to combine those to do so.

So I've found how to make it without rails. And how to link angular and rails. My plan is to learn both seperately then add. Will that work?

Sorry. My words are muddled. I'm just so tired.

everytime I want to rant about my boss I check if drumf is still alive and know there are worse

boss recently abandoned all my specific beliefs for a more general stance of negativity

Err so i gave in and decided to set up my dev environment locally as opposed to cloud. Especially since I wanna do mobile stuff now.
But yeah. I had to revert to npm 4 for react native with sudo but now I literally can't npm install anything without sudo...

Should I be worried or carry on?

Had a really really good interview last week I think. And the weirdest thing was that he was friends with my ex bosses so we talked about them a lot. Lots of jokes. So I thought ooh slam dunk.

But now apparently I’m not going forward “based in part of what they said”

Fuck my life. Fuck you. You fucked me over during my time at your company and I tried to be civil cause I thought we somehow became friends.

But. Fuck you all to hell. I’ve been struggling to find something and been in a state a depression since the horrible experience I’ve been trying to be positive on.
Don’t even get me going on how I ended up leaving the company

Hello Devrant! It’s ya boi!

Update. Currently back in school in the Netherlands. Studying law and technology. Yeet.

But yeahhhh so stressed omfg. Finals already in October. This school is a mess.

And I’m the middle of that my thesis got rejected so here I am. Crying. Asking y’all for ideas. Anything you can think of please say.

It’s gotta be tech but a legal question. Ethical is fine too tbh. So if there is anything you’ve wondered or think is of please tell me the question. 😭

all I’ll say is that the last one they said was too vague and not specific enough. And ideally it should be AI or data science but anything tech would do.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but thank youuu.

WHAT THA SHIT FUCK!!!
FUCKING HEROKU

so I've got an apl running on heroku and yes its a free account

Apparently apps running on free accounts are turned off after an hour of not receiving requests

Ok that's reasonable

So I did some digging and found out there are free solutions to keep your app running

Ok thats good even on heroku there is a free add-on for that

Ok I click on add add-on

AND FUCK SHIT!!!

When will there be Haskell, Erlang or APL shirts?
I wanna have one with a cool language as my profile pic

Oh, I have many super powers.
Two of them are LISP and APL.

I'm not a programmer, I just know how to put one stupid meaningless cryptic character after another.

Another day another failed HackerRank

Drawing might not be inherently software-related, but this particular sketch IS software-related. Additionally, the depicted character looks a bit pissed. As such, posting this thing to devRant SHOULD be all right.

Of course, "random" is a stupid term; this post is at best pseudorandom. Every man who is worth a highland midge's urine sample knows that KOOL KEITH is the one true source of entropy.

Actually managing to draw a decent-looking three-quarters pose demands a celebratory ginger ale!

This drawing or a relatively refined equivalent should eventually be used as an image on the 5XX error pages of VARIK's Web servers.

Detailed criticism is welcomed -- not knowing that stuff sucks sucks.

The lack of a standard APL logo is a damn shame. Luckily, the light bulb is handsome and recognisable for APL hackers.

When you are familiar with haskell, APL, ... and then have to write C

:'(

So im finally done with education and can call my self an computer scientist.. but are you really ever done getting educated in this line of work?

You can write _ in any language.
(forall _ neither Lisp nor APL)

Question.

If you're working remotely- like a whole other country/continent- do you have to give taxes for the country the company is in?

Context. Got a "job". Not sure if I'll take it full time but for now I will be getting some backpay so I want to know everything before deciding and planning

Right now in my country I don't have to pay taxes so I want to know if that still stands

systemd needs to get rekt

Hey. So like I know been gone a while straight to the point.

Anyone in the Netherlands looking for a team member for the Odyssey Hackathon?
In addition to design and front end Ive also got you covered for legal and ethical.

So please if you’re interested hit me up

So like... is there a reason no one can answer a react-native question on stack overflow or do they only reply to things that give them the chance to be dicks? 🤔

Got a job test today and I’m already almost done.

All that’s left are two features and I don’t know how to do them and I just wanna cry and all my momentum has gone to waste

Just found the APL language... that’s just math right ?

!rant

Anyone else wonder how they got into the kind of the coding they're in?

Like, I wanted to make plugins for music software and DAWs and now I do front end web...

I don't even know what fucking language is used for something like that

Ooh. FreeCodeCamp has been revamped/improved.

I can't wait to not finish that

*When I have lots of free time to code*

My mind: I am so tired for working... Let's finish those project some other time dude.

*When the day before my exam*

My mind: Hey! You have some unfinished projects...Come lets finish those. Don't be lazy...

Get to know the new company better (Changed job shortly before Christmas).
Learn some DPs, DDD, k8s, finish introduction to hacking course, start doing htb and thm machines, finish and defend my thesis, finish books clean code, thinking in java (reading it to fill in gaps on knowledge), a few books about pentesting.
Among non tech goals: pass drivers license exam for cars, another one for motorcycles, go back to learning russian.
