Type it in, type it in, type a bigger number in. Oh how fun it is to break other people's software!

Well apparently my compression algorithm actually made the file bigger. Back to the drawing board I guess?

"By larger do you mean bigger?"

I was honestly just asked this in an email from a client.

The funniest thing is I didn't even say "larger", I said "bigger".

When a great developer in your team decides to leave for a bigger company and then half of his last day is for him to share all the knowledge he can to the team.

I'm a little sad about our loss, but really glad for him and for all the things I just learned.

Best: I'm still employed.
Worst: I'm still working on a PHP codebase, which only got bigger (34M lines) and more entangled this year.

After my college I was about to start freelancing.
I met a client and had a chat with him about requirements and all.
He was really nice guy. Then he asked me "What will be the size of the website?? A4 or Bigger??.
On the next day I started looking for full time jobs.

CoWorkers are really nice, boss is cool, super chill over all. #feelsgood

Just got word. I start in two weeks. Reducing commute by an hour. Bigger team, more possibilities. I could not be happier.

Fuck recruiters! I told them i want to work in a bigger company and my JS are not the best.

One of the bigger and more important IT projects this fall. Technical solution proposal needs to be ready by Thursday morning but is far from complete. Solution? The responsible person for this went on a two day mindfulness training. Apparently totally oblivious to the term "sense of urgency". Must be a citizen of procrastiNATION.

Wanted to make a devrant logo like always (its my Hello world to test my CNCs now).

I'll just continue tomorrow, it's finished...
Probably gonna use a few times and make a bigger one.

Actual conversation today with one of my remote developer teammates in Ukraine

Me: "next up I'd like to discuss the 'bigger picture' so you have context for the next tasks..."

Dev (after an hour or so and some chat in between...): "Yes, could you please send more details about a large images issue?"

Me (somewhat perplexed): "what are you... oh! Haha"

So I just created this Registration GUI (part of a bigger app) for my uni project and was demonstrating how good the app was to all my friends.

Suddenly someone came and said let me verify this. I said go on with a doubtful mind. Obviously I had some verification for all the fields in the GUI but I was closely watching him.

He signed up with this email: " @ . "

Why does it feel like learning to code requires a building of endurance? Like training for a marathon, you have to build up to bigger and deeper learning sessions. Rewarding and frustrating at the same time.

Opinions?

Which do you think designers are tired of hearing?

"Make the logo bigger"
"Looks great but can you make it pop"
"Can you make it pretty"
"Something is missing in the design but I'm not sure what is."

After 15 Revisions
"I think the first design you made was better."

Photographer gave me a bigger discount (per his boss' orders) because I showed him free/inexpensive certificate options.

Thanks to all on here who have mentioned that; wouldn't have remembered about free options without others who think in terms of security.

Is it OK to lie to recruiters about your current salary to get a bigger increase if applying for jobs?

One of them told me I should lower my preferred salary (even though I've done research on the market) because it is more than the norm of a 10% increase.

If you're ever in need of a whiteboard for drawing/sketching, grab a few white a4 paper sheets, a roll of transparent duct tape, tape both sheets together side-by-side. Cover both sheets with tape

Senior Manager (with years of tech experience almost equal to my age) :
Why would we need that, We are already hosted on AWS so we can just spin up more instances.

Me ( trying to hold the rage inside) : No it doesnt work that way, that will only hurt us more than help.

Him : What if we try with a bigger instance size. Its AWS, sure they will have a bigger instance.

Me : No, tha....
Him : (cuts me off) How about we use autoscaling and let AWS decide

So today I spent the whole day at work in a website to make it go full responsive. When I finished, the PM told me "Forget about these and those screen sizes, make everything over 1024px a desktop view". There are tablets with screen bigger than just 1024px... Anyway, I got a little mad because I spent the WHOLE day working with those tablets that are bigger than 1024 just to get a " Forget about these and those".

Fine, I'm fine now... I needed to tell this to someone, I know you will understand my pain, guys :)

Just signed my work papers, managed to get a front-end developer position after looking for a while! Moved to a much bigger city too

Just finished my last day! On to bigger and brighter things.

I don't know which is worse:

1. My project manager telling me that I will have to make a whole project on my own within a month (frontend, backend, etc etc) for our major client and if I make it, we will get a bigger project for a longer period or
2. The colleague next to me being loud (speaking to himself, chewing things) at random intervals.

When the configuration files are bigger than the code you're writing.

Really weird writing a book and being one of the only 2 people to know the entire story line...

Even more so when you wrote something down and knowing it's significance to the bigger picture makes you tear up a little... Fucking weird man...

About starting your career at a medium-bigger company that's well-established, versus starting at a smaller company.

That's my point of view:

It's always wiser to begin at a company that's more established (you will also be sure that you will get paid on time). I started at a well-established company, and I managed to buy gear, travel, do stuff, and then I realised that I wanna do more, not only live to work 😎.

Smaller companies are kinda risky, think of it, their goal is to reach the level of a well-established company, which is some levels lower than that. On the other hand, if you do well at a smaller company, your next goal will be to work for a bigger company, which will surely be nicer, more professional and will pay better. So you will have managed to et there with all the skills in your pocket already, which will come in handy later!

Bigger companies are excellent if you have a family (wife and kids), they provide stability, that's the most important thing, but I believe that in order to get "settled" in a company like that, you should at least have tried something else first, like doing your own thing or get challenged in more complicated gigs that require you to up your skills.

In the end, it's all sun and fun, with you code editor by your side 😉. I'm interested to see your opinions.

Have you noticed that mac users rarely use full screen mode? Its so hard to use that they just leave half sized windows, its so annoying when I have to ask every time if they can make it bigger

I like how when on the main rant list, clicking on a GIF will open it rather than the rant, so can that be implemented for normal images too please?
Usually when an image is posted I want to see the bigger version straight away rather than going into the rant first. I realize that may annoy some people though.

Then as Internet got bigger and bigger (early 2000s) I decided to learn JS and HTML. I'm not a professional, but I'm pretty confident with my skills 😊

Trying to learn C and thought a easy file copy was a good start. The program read the size of the file, reserved that size in memory, can copied data there and then to the new file. For some reason I never thought that the file might be bigger then available memory... Took a couple of BSOD to find that "bug".

You told me “my dick is small, but your dick is smaller”. Little did you knew that in CSS, “smaller” is bigger than “small”.

The company that I work for is very loud and noisy, making it really hard to code.

First day in new office, bigger space in the same building....PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE NOISE AND LOUDNESS

FIRST. DAY.

Sorry guys, I have complained too they dont care.

In my region of my country:
Me: I am a software developer.
Them: <eyes get bigger> Oh, wow! That is cool. <with the expression on their face saying: oh, he is a LOT smarter than me...>

Today I had a weird dream. The mars was collapsing to earth. Weird part was when everybody panicking and screaming I was watching it getting bigger and bigger every second. I was like "woah, this is amazing". I knew there was no point being scared because everyone will die anyway. I embraced death and enjoyed my last moments. That was realy weird experience.

Don’t work under a lead dev that is single focused on immediate problem solving. You will only ever put out fires caused by their small-mindedness and miss on learning to solve bigger problems.

My fiance is also a developer, we moved to a bigger city and she is looking for a job. She lost all motivation and doesn't want to look at any code anymore... Not even my freelance projects.. Does anyone have any motivational things to say? She doesn't use devrant, but i'll show her this post.

The bigger the complexity, the bigger the rush when it works perfectly.

there is so many devRant user now.

Thinking about switching jobs...

Do you prefer working in a smaller startup sized company, a bigger more settled one, or as a consultant?

Wow!!!! After a very short period of time (since March), the startup I am at is finally finalizing an acquisition. I got my offer letter today from the new, much bigger company.

Daily stand-ups might seem like a joke when done remotely, but I believe they help unite the team, and they play a key role for project managers, even if they're brief. The bigger issue might be just some of the dev's attitude towards it, and the lack of communication through out the project development.

Today I decided against installing a plugin for my text editor because the plugin required node to be installed. Node is bigger than my text editor.

Startup company thats self sufficient and fair wage and freedom

Or

Bigger company with 50% bigger wage but with big company things attached?

!rant

Has anyone tried Shapr app to meet new ppl / expand professional network / heck, make new friends?

I'm thinking of giving it a go once I'm in a bigger city (Toronto)

Thank you @dfox and @trogus it's a lot bigger than I thought!

Is there a devDate? Maybe there is a bigger Chance of meeting someone who's gone equally insane then...

And no, I don't want to be fucked by Microsoft or Apple.

#Development Story:
No Size for iPad (only mocks are mobile and desktop)
Ambiguous on Close Button (size and position)

#Development:
Me: iPad size, should it be X?
Product Owner: Yes

#QA
QA: Close button is to Small, change to bigger
ME: (ok....)

#Product Owner Review
Product Owner: Close button to big, make it smaller, also iPad size is not that, is Y.

Me:

The bigger the number of people smarter than me defines how much I like the company.
More is better.

We're all working from home starting today.

My university is still active, bigger school events are being postponed though.

On the Overwatch 2 official poster, Tracer's pussy is bigger than Ana's face. Ah, yes, targeting lonely male gamers with sex, how original.

Pathetic.

Why would the developers of a library with +800 Github starts suddenly decide to change the interface and render my whole app useless? Some might say because this is software and it is always changing. Well, I think it is because they are a bunch of tools and I'm even a bigger tool for updating to their new version.

Anyone with game development experience? I'm thinking of doing a game development side project soon. Not expecting the best results, but games like cuphead, hollow knight and salt & sanctuary inspire me (2D platformers).

Will PyGame or LibGDX suit me fine or should I use a bigger engine like Unity or Unreal?

Scope creep and hidden requirements. Project seemed to get bigger every week. 4 months salary for 7~9 months of actual work.

I was working as freelancer while doing my bachelor degree and then got hired. I'll say that help bigger company to trust and pay you more. But nothing about skills.

Really start with the band I planned with some friends.
Learn some useful electronics
Move to a bigger apartment with a retro and a hobby room.

There are lots of more ideas 😅

Been working on this project for the last 9 months, it's 1000 times bigger than the original spec, but the worst part of the whole experience is the god damn Microsoft Access database and migrating data from it.

Wanky encoding, references that aren't actually linked up, ID's that aren't unique, meaningless columns and table names.

Pushed me to the edge.

So as a student I often wonder how my future workplace will look like. So..
Show us your workspace! And not just the desk you sit by but the bigger picture. Personal office? Open landscape? Lonesome forgotten room in the basement of the building?
And which is the best? Close to the team to cooperate or fortress of solitude?

I think it's safe to say I'm not a big (medium) fish in a small ponds.

But now thinking more and more it's it's worth the time that I've already interested plus another unknown amount to try to become a little fish in a bigger pond...

Now every boss and client wants RWD on their sites... it's a pity they don't even know what it means...

"Why do this heading change size? I want it bigger!"

"the photo was ok side by side with the text. Why does it move above on my iPad"

"i can't zoom!"

Boss insists in using firemonkey to save time since the same app will work for PC, Android and iOS. They didn't even consider going native. so I coded a simple calc on firemonkey, half the calc functions that worked perfectly on the pc didn't work on Android, and the app took 25mb space while other apps way bigger I make with Android studio barely have 2mb lol

I purchased a used 1U rack server last week, it got 8 small fans and is ALOT more silent than my other used 2U server.. I thought it would be the opposite, since the 2U got bigger and less fans.
First few days i had the 1U turned on in my bedroom while sleeping.
Is there a reason for this, or is it a coincidence?

Getting back into job hunting and job interviews after 2 years of employment is like going back to dating after being married for 5 years.

It feels weird and I'm worried I might be too forward on the questions. But I like how easy to apply for jobs now. Easy one-click apply from my LinkedIn account. Not sure if I should apply for startups or not
