Found this gem on Neil Fraser's blog!

Not sure if I visited an ads website or a blog .-.

Sitting outside, in the park, sunny, warm, music, writing a new blog post for the security/privacy blog.

I actually love this 😊

when you find a well written dev blog post and the comments are equally as informative

That moment when GitLab adds an article you wrote to their blog

Two types of Developers:

1. Good Developers
2. Instagram Vloggers/Influencers

Found today on one of the medium blog. Nicely written :clap:

Best: actually getting something working out there and having it visited by devRanters! (security/privacy blog)

Worst: rewriting entire applications because my code often fucking sucks

Always wanted to build a URL shortener. Guess what I'm building right now :D (next to working on a blog article)

Somehow this is making me very happy 😊

this blog calls JSON "Jason"

Gonna start a blog where i take medium articles by retards and explain why is what they write stupid

When the PM knows their shit and rejects the clients request for Wordpress and says the site is not a freakin blog.

I'm proud to announce a new project made by myself and @thejohnhoffer, that started on devrant.

We started collaborating after I made a rant about machine learning and, since then we've been working hard on a plain language blog that simplifies machine learning concepts.
We call it learn-blog.
Check it out at ironman5366.github.io/learn-blog

I'll hopefully be releasing the security/privacy blog (going to bundle both into one blog) tonight.

I'm actually nervous about this 😅

(first post will solely be an introduction/hello post)

When you look for a strongly opinionated article about JavaScript but you get a JavaScript framework instead..

And its not a blog

Wrote a blog post
Got 1200 pageviews
Checked adsense acc $0.00
Then realised my ads are not working

The security/privacy blog.

Get ready for a new blog post, dark theme and a new domain name today!

Sorry, I love to announce stuff 😊

Mother of god, choosing a topic for today's security/privacy blog post is hard!

I have too much choice 😅

Currently trying to write a dark theme solution for the security blog in pure JavaScript (no jquery).

This is way easier than I thought!

Created a basic layout for my blog !!

#keepingItClean

Going to do tonight's blog post about my own security setup since that's an easy one and I'm working on rewriting the blog which gets me quite some bugs to solve!

I'm wondering how paranoid people will find me afterwards 😅

Proud of this. When you print my blog it is what every website should be: a clean document.

Going to start rewriting the security blog this evening.

Any more ideas for features/tips etc?

Shame on every developer who ever wrote a blog post about a complex topic that included only trivial examples!

The more code I remove the better it works

From Windows help forum 🙈

I'm the worst with color combinations and I want to enable dark mode on the privacy/security blog!

What color combinations (if you have hex codes or something, please share!) would you think would suit the blog?

Halp :P

Company: Govt says you should stay home to prevent spreading the disease. PLZ WFH.

People start to WFH.
VPN gets overwhelmed.

Me: Cannot connect to VPN.

Boss: Then go in the office!!!

Me: Uhh...

I wrote a web crawler to find a few problems on my company's blog. I accidentally DOS'd the peice of shit with a single thread. Fuck WordPress.

I really want to make my own anonymous blog, but I am scared that someone will expose me after I write there something recognisable. 😒

Always thank your sources, people! Work deserves credit.

I really truly want to run my own dev blog, but every time I write an article, I feel that it's too dumb and useless because I already know the thing I wrote. I know it's absurd, yet I can't fight my own anxiety about it.

From a gitlab blog post:

"You wouldn't copy and paste an answer from StackOverflow, without understanding it, (...)"

No.. never....... 🙄

came across this in a python blog!

Take the train number... null. Good job, Deutsche Bahn!

How is this?

I regret commenting on a WordPress blog using my full name. Although there was nothing stupid on what I wrote, I just hate it that I googled my name and it showed. I just want to delete my useless information / myself on the internet.

Never will this happen again.

So, I want to start a blog where I can post the result of my research and showcases as tutorials... I though that if I'm doing it for my job, it could help somebody else.

What would you recommend me? Any advice?

You know you've been on devRant too long when you double tap the features on their blog posts 😂

Thought to start a programming blog.
Registered domain and hosting.
Created some posts.
Didn't get new idea/content to post.
Disconnected domain from hosting out of shame.

PHP is the best framework for VSCode.

Now that I have your attention... Have you written a technical article? I'm thinking of writing something frontend related but not sure what topic to pick.

I'd love to hear about your experience and any tips you may have :D

Why does this blog hate his visitors?

These mfers writing blog posts about basic shit are always the ones to drop gifs of people having their mind blown.

How fucking simple can you get?

So I' working on a personal blog/site, but I'm a terrible designer. Any suggestions and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

As a final year student it makes me feel proud about things I do now, back in 2014 I was newbie to programming and after the years of study ( I skip collages in order to study by my self at home since my syllabus is too old for me to keep up with new technologies. ) I still feel like shit against brilliant programmers on the internet.

My journey untill now was frustrating and side by side it was fun too, I have spent several days to figure out very minor problems in my programme which made me forced to learn even more in order to avoid silly mistakes in future.
Those four lines of output were really true worth of that forty lines of code.

Every one of us, in their entire life at least once had thought about which programming languages to learn first and yes I was one of those guy who used to search on Google, watched YouTube videos and asked seniors for the same advice but soon I realized it's never enough to completely learn even one language. Each and every programming language is based on similar logical structure. No matter how different it's syntax is it won't make much of a difference.

I am thankful to internet and all of those guys who make video tutorials, help on q&a forum (stack overflow) , publish posts on website and all of IT community guys. I made it this far it's all thanks to you and I know it's just beginning of spectacular journey ahead.

"You should blog as a developer."

Ain't nobody got time foh dat.

Receive several documents of blog posts from a client, each one titled "Blog $n - $category - $title." Cool, the client gave them to me in order and I just have to plug them in.

Enter blogs on site starting with Blog 1.

Client sees the blogs on the site and loses their shit. "I specifically numbered the blogs so you knew what order to put them in! How hard is it to put them in numerical order? Blog 1 is the newest blog and should be first on the page."

The site displays the newest post first, but because any normal person would have named the oldest blog "blog 1" and counted up from there the blogs are in the reverse order the client expected.

What the hell kind of dense motherfucker numbers their blog files in a manner which requires them to rename every file each time they write a new blog post?

This is how Over Ops blog forces its visitors!! As a result, closed the freaking blog!!

Yayy!! Turns out I won the tech blogging competition in my company! The prize is a brand new set of Sony WH-1000XM3.

Now I have two identical headsets :D

Can't complain though, those are amazing.

Testing in production... (German public TV)

What's your favorite CMS? I'm toying with the idea of creating a blog for myself and I really don't wanna use WP.

I saved the README that explains how to mount the hard drive on the hard drive itself. 🙈

My new favorite web framework

(Loom ≈ Web frame in German)

Hey guys! I need help!
I started to write a blog about the stuff I currently investigating: How to combine React, Oauth and Node.js.🤯
However, my penmanship isn’t that good.
So I’m looking for some nice stock images for good meme and funny pictures to support my writing.
Does Anybody know where I could download a nice bundle instead of google them one by one?🤔

This is the first time where people stumbled upon my blog posts on each day of A WHOLE WEEK! Amazing 🥳

when your quora follower proposed you,after
reading your blog/answer.

If you write blogs and tutorials about programming,
Please don't just throw blocks of code at people. Explain what this code does, why you wrote it in this particular way and not the other, when people should use this technique and when they shouldn't. Also don't make your tutorial specific to a particular library/package unless you specify in the title.

Stop making blogs just for the sake of making them. Make blogs that help people become better. Advertise for your proficient and show others why you love it. Put some effort into your craft people!!

I am not a leader in tech. I barely keep up with my work load, why the fuck would I preach shit to other people. Why on earth do recruiters and employers even care about my blogs or social media presence, it's not at all an indicator of an individuals dev skills. This culture is insane. These kinda requirements are what drive down the quality of online content.

How many of you fellow devRanters out there have a blog? And, more importantly, actively maintain it?

so exited, my new blog is live after 4 months of work!

No file for sale 🎉

Why the fuck do offline-enabled (music, video) apps load forever on slow network but instantaneously in airplane mode? Is it so difficult to show cached content first and refresh only once downloaded? Yes, I mean you, Spotify, Amazon Music, Amazon Video and Audible!!! 🤬

Friend "what's devrant, is that like a blog?"
Me "No"
Friend "Like discord?"

Starting using Tumblr for a blog because I can't be bothered building my own...

No emoji in the world can replace the depth of :/

Credit to some tumblr blog

I'm thinking about starting my own blog, where I can post my research and/or opinions on...

Though my private projects have a bad reputation I still think I might try one again and see if it works

What happened to @linuxxx's blog?!?

The relief I get when a random blog says, "you can find the github repo for this tutorial here"

Working in my first "modern" website, a personal blog. Holy fscking crap does this shit suck. Layout and CSS etc is basically a trial and error gig at best. There is no rhyme or reason. Why?!?!

Finally received my stickers!!! Where should I place the other two?? 🤔 This is a tough decision here..

Weekend is almost here. Are you working on any interesting side projects? I am creating blog content, coding an alert system and speed walking a 5k. Enjoy!

Yeah, that seems about right 😂🤣

So.. since @linuxxx is talking about his blog.

I might as well share my blog idea..

I am planning on making a "blog" website that automatically pulls from Twitter as well as a folder of actual "blog posts" and displays them in order.. basically a live feed of my online life.

What should I use..

Php?
Or is there something else that can do the job as well?

For those of you that have a blog...
Ever have this moment where you do one relatively minor thing and end up spending the next hour writing a blogpost about it?

I keep a blogger for tech notes for programs and settings that were difficult problems or took up a lot of time to find the solution or so I can remember years later if I ever return to those programs. Just in case to save myself and others time. It's kind of like an adventurer's log: I've gone through these stretches of technological wilderness and here are my findings, should one day you happen upon them.

Day after I publish a blog about mongoDB

I'm trying to enable GitHub issues based comments on my blog. However, I'm not sure if it's worth this mess.

Once I told a good friend that I will make a website for his business. I do all IT stuff he only has to do the content. Halfway done with the site I asked if he has written anything. He had not. Then a week later I asked again. He had nothing. So I sat down with him and helped him write what he does and why people should go to him. Then I told him to ask a mutual photographer friend to take pictures for him. A week went by when I asked him if he has contacted the guy. He had not. Then I was like: "Dude! If you are not willing to put any effort into making this happen then why the hell should I?"

In the end he didn't do anything. And that's the story of my friend never getting a free website.
The End.

Found a lovely comment on an aging blog post about something entirely different:

Discussion Question for Web Devs and Server Admins.

Should we use unicode (Non-English/Latin) text in URL?

Eg: unicode blog title converted to use as permalink

Goals for 2019:
Register a company and make 20k revenue while finishing University.

Ever tried to do something “simple” and it ended up taking several days and a piece of your sanity?

Trying to connect my website to a blog site made with Hexo has been that for me.

I am actively trying to not think about the fact that my live website is so horrendously broken.

Dying inside.

I'm not sure if it is a dev experience, but definitely boosted my morale.

In 2014, my company (in India) sent me to attend a conference in Boston. The conference was about big data.

When I came back, I wrote a blog post about Apache Spark in my company's blog. Because of the blog, my name got mentioned in a prominent newspaper's article about Apache Spark.

PS: That is my only blog post till date

I've been working for two days (after work) on my blog idea...

Man I forgot how fun it is to work on your own projects, and the stuff I learn at the moment... It is insane!

I am currently a very happy developer, hopefully I can keep this up.

I still have to look into automated unit testing and code formatting checks with github though, cant wait!

Do some of you make a passive income from something dev related?
What are your experiences?

I’m thinking about starting a dev blog with focus on financial software, but it would be nice to do something that brings in some extra bugs. There are so many blogs, mine would probably not even be seen by anyone..

Finally successfully installed Ubuntu!!!!

Maybe the blog was written in PHP as well? 🤔

Looking at resumes of potential candidates again. I could write an entire blog about how funny these things are at times.

Failed to load `naverror.htm`

When you see a workspace on a blog post and look at your own desk.

Given how precise developers have to be with their code to get it to run, you'd think they'd be better spellers when they write blog posts. 🤔

Spent hours synthesizing few novel ideas on Notepad, and then did Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X so I could just paste it in my private blog. The blog wouldn't respond, ssh'd into the server to troubleshoot, and then realized my habitual use of Ctrl-C destroyed that very content I spent hours on. Only realized this after I got the blog back up running again. X-( I should start getting into habit of using VSCode or Gvim more.

Wrote a small blog post. Increased the font size of my blog.

If there's Twitter for short blog posts, and Dwitter for short JavaScript visualizations, we should invent Zwitter for people that say that nobody uses Linux. >:D

Does anyone blog or post on dev topics / tutorials, and if so what platform do you use these days?

- Medium is just full of aggressive paywall crap these days - not interested.
- Freecodecamp is more geared towards tutorials, though I wouldn't be against this - but seems like it's mainly geared towards "getting started" tutorials, and there's no way to comment on articles either.
- dev.to seems to be more of a "Twitter for devs" rather than a blogging platform.
- Blogger is as good as dead.
- Self-hosted platforms require me to maintain them, and I can't be arsed with the SEO side of things.

Anything I'm missing? Apart from to give up and do something more worthwhile with my time of course...

I need an idea

For fuck's sake, I need an Idea about what tutorial should I post or what should I post about on my little blog.

I made my own blog dedicated to personal rants on ZeroNet and count already 34 people sharing it. That's insane. I guess people like people ranting and that's what @trogus and @dfox figured before everyone ;)

I took you guys' advice and posted my first dev blog today. I finally understand now what people meant when they said they learned the topics they wrote about much more deeply! 😃

I got good by trial and error, documentation and blog posts.
Anyone resembling my experience?

Learnt C++ from Bucky, New Boston as my first.

Then went crazy afterwards on YouTube blog posts and Books

Almost everyone is using WordPress, and here I am, looking at the beautifull Ghost, not understanding others.

For those who are involved/want to be involved in a start-up (or even if you just like a good blog), look up James Altucher. He writes really entertaining and informative stuff about entrepreneurship, software, and good advice about keeping stress under control, coming up with ideas, and staying positive.

Can anyone recommend a good free blogging site?

Was going to use wordpress but im not paying 130 AUD just to map it to a sub domain.

Blogger has very few options when it comes to themes and custom themes.

And tumblr... Is tumblr (I was using it but decided to rid myself of such filth)

Something that has been irritating me lately.

Sites that seem to scrape code examples from others blogs and try to pass it off as their own.

Been seeing more and more of it as time passes. Is it just to drive traffic to their own blog? Or make them look like they actually know something when potential employers look them up?

Either way they suck.

So yesterday I installed Arch. Well, sort of. So far the GUI isn't configured so it's literally less convenient than an equally unconfigured TTY. But I'm getting there, today I connected to a secure Wi-Fi network. Tomorrow I expect to install something for power efficiency and start configuring stuff/creating a proper DE. Last time, when I stripped down Ubuntu and installed i3wm there, the first thing that bothered me was the lack of a wallpaper so I never got to issues like the keyring not unlocking, the x11 default font being two physical pixels tall, or added peripherals not being handled. This time my plan is to solve every issue as soon as I get there. For this reason I'll use a queue for managing my tasks rather than a stack like Google Keep.

I'm glad to show you this.

Am improving the whole design of my blog page. 😊😊😊

Every time I read a blog post by Jon Skeet

i accidentally ran the migrations and got lucky it failed. lost the blog table but client had the backups. could have lost the whole database.

I've just started writing tech blog posts this weekend. Two posts baked by today, another one should be completed by tomorow eod :)

oh man... Apparently I like blogging :)

What is the functionality that you have always wanted to have in a blog???

Need suggestions.

> Please, something that makes sense in a blog.

Started writing a blog post about a simple React project I created. Several hours later and I've finally gotten to the part where I'm creating the first component.

...this going to be one long-ass blog post. :P

My Dev goals for 2018:
- build a raycaster in OpenGL and Vulken
- finish my game
- actually write a Dev blog

Really need to blog more. Tired of relearning the stuff I thought I got 3 months ago, all the time.🥺

So turns out I am making a blog about my attempt to make a Facebook but not clone for my wife and her friend. Any blog naming ideas? I am thinking "Facebook but Different" haha. The idea would not be sharing direct code, but more of a devlog and coding choices(as a backend dev, I am sure the front end choices will be perfect and Superior to all front end developers' choices 😁😁)

So I start my new dev job Monday and I'm considering vlogging/blogging the experience. Have any of you found success doing this? Not monetarily but like actually had time to create some decent content. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Hello, I launched a wordpress website as my personal blog, any beginner tips for startup?

I'm thinking about starting a blog. Though I have no interest in building it myself, esp. when we already have plenty blogging platforms out there.

What blog platform would you recommend?

I was just curious but don't need it, the domain would be great for a personal blog/portfolio. First come first serve.

Your welcome.

How much do you need to know about a topic , for you to blog about it?

Going to build a blog and use the process as an opportunity to learn a full stack. The question is: LAMP or MEAN or smth else?

I have more (albeit very limited) experience with LAMP so the ecosystem seems a bit more transparent. PHP connected to httpd via PHP-FPM. WordPress with MySQL for the blog posts. Or go flat-file with Statamic. Then shared hosting, FTP, etc. But it's all a bit old school and it seems like the grass is greener and growing faster in the fancy JS garden. And JS for front and back sounds appealing as a learning investment.

But with a JS full stack, I don't even know where to start. I know some basic vanilla JS (about as much as I know PHP). Node, Express, Angular? Never touched 'em. But it seems like if you're gonna dive in and learn some web dev in 2019 these are the things to learn, no? Still more questions: how the hell do you build a blog with JS? Do you need a CMS? Flat-file? And how do you host/deploy that stuff? Droplets, virtual machines, containers? Heroku? Digital Ocean?

Can anybody shed any light? I am not trying to overwhelm myself with a stack too complex for a blog (MEAN), nor shoot my future self in the foot learning fading technologies (LAMP).

age++;

Normally, I'd leave it there like most other people. But this is devRant, not Facebook [citation needed], so let me take the opportunity to talk about a dev-related project I'm mulling over.

A number of years ago, I dropped my music hobby in exchange for focusing on my computer science/programming skills. I'm now at a point where I'm working professionally as a developer, and I've wanted to get back into music for quite some time. Specifically, I want to make music, not just perform it.

Thing is, I've had difficulty trying to find a good platform for uploading WIPs to get feedback from. I'm hesitant to post them on social media platforms for a variety of reasons (though I'm open to budge), so I've been considering alternatives.

So here's my idea: A personal blog made from the ground up that details my journey rediscovering music, including tracking the resources I've used for others to refer to, music samples, etc. I think it would be a great opportunity to not only get feedback on music I've made, but to also incorporate my programming skills with my music hobby.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the idea, as well as any advice/recommended tools for taking on a project like this.

Which static site generator are you using?

Jekyll vs Hugo vs Gatsby vs Hexo ...

I want to build my personal blog using it, I've also used ghost.

Which one is better in terms of performance?

Today, I set up a Tumblr blog where I can write my non-tech related rants. It's actually a very nice platform.

FYI, please don't use the leading blog CMS for a custom ecommerce site ... That doesn't even have a blog.

Finally, pushed a post on my blog, after almost 2 months.
Now it feels like a weekend. 😤

What is your favorite forum/blog/website for hacking and things related to it?

Good people of devRant, hear me! Today is a proud day, a day of happiness, peace, and prosperity!

Theatrical opening lines aside, I need your help. I have finally completed the setup for one of my long ongoing projects and need some input from experienced developers of any kind. I've recently started a blog focused around building a community for people who want to learn more about all engineering disciplines or want to see if they would like being an engineer. The majority of the content will be posts about various topics that relate to either specific disciplines or engineering as a whole, and cool projects you can do to work out what is fun to you.

HackTheWorld.io is the URL and I'd welcome any feedback you can give, from design to development. I used the hexo framework, which is a static html blog generator that I then upload to a web host via FTP. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas form posts on the site, feel free to leave those as well. I've got a few I'm writing now that will hopefully help some people out there.

- Going through new open source projects
- Subscribed to blog that gives all the shit about new things
- Never missed updates from WWDC, Google IO.

Progress on my blog (incocast) goes smoothly, even implemented a basic rss feed. Currently the blog is Service Layer only (because I still have to create a front-end)

It might even be interesting to open some api calls to the public... I don't know yet.. Maybe..

Either way the next thing to implement is a commenting system! :)

How do I make my blog https? I have a blog using Jekyll and GitHub pages. I have a custom domain so I tried cloudflare free SSL plan - destroyed my DNS records. Haha. Any good post for me to follow and get that green padlock?

Just curious, anyone here know the tech stack of devRant?

I'd love to see a blog post, (if there isn't one already) on what this app runs on!

What's your interesting and useful web dev blog that you have subscribed?

I don't like news blog. Prefer an individual developer's or a company's blog where they share their experience, tips, random stuff etc.

I kind of want to write a blog post about how i slowly stopped using proprietary software but i dont actually want to start a blog just for this.

Just made some dollars via affiliate links in my old blog. Feeling awesome! 😂
