Coming from a C# background, where Visual Studio would warn me about errors even before compiling the program, Javascript was quite a shock.

People who claims "XXX is slow" should put screenshots of:

- CPU/MEM stats
- Task bar in full, to see how much crap is in background
- Desktop, to see how clean your computer is

If you don't have i7/16GB or you install gazillion of background apps, then your "slow" argument is simply not valid.

So WhatsApp does connect to Facebook in the background from time to time 🤔

That time when this other manager used a "city buildings" background while his hair was swaying around as if he's actually on a rooftop. People started teasing him about his "nice background" while me and my colleagues joked in our group chat about seeing Godzilla in one of the buildings.

Halfway through the call, a woman appeared in the background and he signalled her to go away while they're both laughing then his webcam turned off.

Maybe he unleashed his Godzilla.

Customer: '... But we really like our boxed layout with the yellow background color!'

And just in time for my birthday tomorrow. Thanks dfox and trogus for this amazing community. And for the swag! 🎉😀

If body { background: red; } isn’t the first thing you do to test a CSS file is included, then I don’t know what kind of developer you are.

didn't think it'd ever happen but I had to talk a client out of having background music on their site 🙄

Can't change my desktop background. Looks like I need to reformat.

Saw a website having an image with resulution `4828x3265`, as the background, that too in a slider with multiple images that densities that high.

Dear DevRant,

The yellow background looks great on our avatar, but could you please not use it as background for a rant? You're burning the eyes out of my skull.

So client wants like a certain type of stone as the background of his website. Okay fine, I ask him to send me "good high resolution pictures" of the walls.

Some time later, I get the pictures. They're 500x300 px give or take , I mean come on xD

I can tell that I am getting tired when I start copying css / html from the devRant website to use in the devCredits site...

Anyways... the background is now animated and if animation is turned off, the background color can be modified through the link.

Also, @BindView cleaned up some stuff for me.

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...?

Why do most docs have grey text color over a white background! It's just incredibly difficult to focus on. And my brain is like a potato to begin with.

Anyone who left their workstation unlocked and unattended would come back to find their background replaced with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I don't fucking get it why people find it normal to have a zoom meeting run in background for the whole working hours.

Well, I only worked with two designers so far. The first one was incredibly competent and a nice guy. The second one however...not so much.

He wanted me to change the background of his website to a specific pattern. It was a pattern that easily could have been used as repeated background.

So I asked for a single pattern in PNG format.

Guy refuses to give it to me and forces me to use a 4k image as background.

So, Instagram put that "Be the first to comment" as a part of the background on the image itself. Whenever I scroll past comments that is visible in between the gaps. They couldn't even render a simple text view if there are no comments. And, I thought I was the only one who uses lazy hacks to make things work.

As a web developer, I find myself enjoy changing style in some websites when I visited them. Thanks to come devtool.

The background loading wallpaper breaks on my 19.5:9 aspect ratio mobile (honor play)

One thing that’s a shocker and frankly very weird for people who have always used Android, is that iPhone doesn’t show any progress notif for anything whatsoever. Like dude.. I want things to happen in background and see progress in notif bar. But no, not in iPhone. You either wait for things to finish in foreground or do it explicitly inside the relevant app.

For example, when you want to send a big video on WhatsApp via Photos, you have to wait on the Photos screen until it’s sent otherwise it fucking fails. Like dude.. wtf?! Why can’t that happen in background?

On top of this, things that can happen in background have so limited processing power to themselves (because iPhone doesn’t like things happening in background; we have already established that though) that they just crawl until done and sometimes fail.

Another thing is that there are no fucking loading indicators. You touch something and then the guessing games starts whether you touched it correctly or not. Like dude.. I know your phone got a superfast processor but sometimes things take time to happen. You gotta give some kind of indication that things are happening ffs!

I know security and all, but dude you gotta give me something! Don’t make me suffer for little things.

Dude.. fuck you!

The list is long... Very long.

So i was commenting on a rant by some user where we had this conversation about IDEs and editors...
Point: Intellij has an option to set a background to the whole ide which gives coding a unique experience instead of the pale dull solid color background.

Go to Settings > Appearance > Background image is in the main appearance tab click and set the image, position, transparency ... And voila u have a background image on your editor.

Alternative way just go to settings and search for background image

I once used some Windows theme hack in Windows 7 to be able to get a dark background in Explorer.

As a side-effect, Microsoft Word shows me the same dark background as well for its documents even though I didn't tell it to. I didn't mind, though...

But now the fun part: When I wanted to print out the document, it prints with that same dark background... seriously, is this shit hardcoded in?! No wonder you couldn't get a proper dark theme with Windows 7!

(I hope Windows 10 full dark theme won't have this weird issue!)
