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 😊

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

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

Two types of Developers:

1. Good Developers
2. Instagram Vloggers/Influencers

Stackoverflow, Quora, hacker news, and any other {{insert random blog/site here}} makes me feel like an ant amongst a bunch of perfect super coders (okay exaggeration)... Thanks devrant for making me feel normal! 😂 #comfort

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"

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

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

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

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 😊

And its not a blog

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

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

I have too much choice 😅

Just looked at the anonymous analytics I collect on the security/privacy blog.

No SQL Injection attacks yet (would be useless anyways as I don't use MySQL/MariaDB for the databasing.

Directory Traversal attacks. Really? 🤣

Nice try, guys.

I want to see a movie where machines gain intelligence and go to war with humanity, only to be defeated when some guy deletes a single semi-colon from their code.

Saw this in a Tumblr blog. Lol

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 😅

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

For the first time in weeks I have energy enough to work on rewriting the security/privacy blog again! Post sort order will be fixed :)

Font ideas, anyone? And other feature ideas are welcome as well ;)

Going to start rewriting the security blog this evening.

Any more ideas for features/tips etc?

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

Everyone has something to learn and teach. Start up a blog, submit to conference proposals, etc. If you're learning it then someone else has to learn it in the future, so make it easier for them.

I was supposed to polish and work on my blog and server stuff, but then I went to YouTube and got distracted by "How to be productive" videos. Aaand got nothing done.

Oh the irony!

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

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

From Windows help forum 🙈

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.

Dev blog writer: "I'm a polygot developer, check out my Github..."
Checks Github, only finds JS and 1 HTML repos...
Thanks for making me feel better about my employment chances mate!

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!

Bought webshitlist.io
Wanted to make a blog where I could vent about shit on the internet like 'influencers', Facebook etc

Got bored waiting for Gems to install and played Need for Speed instead

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

Finally got a job I see myself staying in more than 2 years :) A boss that give us time to write / read blog posts.
Flexible work life.
Working with all the new stuff like dotnet core, docker :)

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.

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.

Manager: we want to autoplay a video on the homepage of the eCommerce site, and links to go to the blog.

Hmm, do you have "getting bounce rate to 100%" as one of the goals this quarter?

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.

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

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

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?

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.

Bloggers are the biggest scum bags ever. Mind me, I'm not talking about the people who blog about something they love, are passionate about and focus on the quality of content.

I'm talking about those people who blog for money, put low quality content and are sucking everyone's dick for views. I've no respect for them. They'll start blogs about the topics they know shit about and will add duplicate content. And then they'll call themselves SEO experts.

You're shit bags. Don't decrease the name of blogging. We all start somewhere and often copy but doing it as a beginner and doing it for money is different.

I'll take example of one genius person I know. He runs a blog where he his topic was essentially about "Laptops for Indian students which are under 30,000 Indian rupees."

Title of that article read: LAPTOPS IN INDIA UNDER $500.

YOU'RE WRITING A BLOG POST FOR INDIAN STUDENTS AND USING US CURRENCY IN THE TITLE. WE ALL SEARCH IN RUPEES WHEN BUYING ONLINE.

I love bloggers who focus on quality of the content and take pride in crafting their content. You're awesome. But if you're one of those "professional bloggers" then suck my dog's dick.

that moment when your friend ask you to make him a simple landing page and now it's an 8 pages website with a blog that you have to teach him how to use!!!

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

"You should blog as a developer."

Ain't nobody got time foh dat.

Qt vs HTML5 everywhere, but not a single line of code in these blog posts about it.

Good job pseudo-tech-bloggers.🙄

And that comparsion. Qt vs Angular. What the fuck. Nobody uses fucken Angular.

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!!

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)

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

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?🤔

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?!?!

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

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!!

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

Day after I publish a blog about mongoDB

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

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

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

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!!! 🤬

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!

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

What happened to @linuxxx's blog?!?

Yeah, that seems about right 😂🤣

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

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

Found a relatively good blog post regarding building interpreters and holy shit it feels weird to understand things but amazing to realise it's some of the cleanest code I've ever written...

I think we all agree almost nobody likes ads. I've been working on a blog(custom made script because fuck wordpress) and I thought why not let the user choose if they want to see ads or not. Basically showing a pop-up or something saying the site needs ads for host, server and so on and let the user choose to enable them or not. What do you think?

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.

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

Good job, Google people. You're not worth your sky-high salaries.

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!

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

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

My blog has a massive build up of posts that have a start but not released yet. It's like a guilt list every time I log in. Anyone else go through this?

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

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?

Finally successfully installed Ubuntu!!!!

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

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

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. 🤔

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.

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

I hate every blog post about "How to be a good developer in ..." or "X steps that will do Y" STFU YOU CUNTS. Everytime the same points over and over again... JUST STFU

Service's like freelance and people per hour are a farce. It's just a constant race to the bottom price-wise.

'Yeah sure I can make you a blog website in 24 hours for £5'

Taking over the blog for our companies CSS code as it was unresponsive, due to FIXED values. The fun part was roasting the guy who wrote this before me :p

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

Maybe the blog was written in PHP as well? 🤔

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..

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 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 ;)

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

Then went crazy afterwards on YouTube blog posts and Books

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)

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

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

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.

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

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.

Every time I read a blog post by Jon Skeet

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! :)

So people mentioned hexo here and I got really interested, since it seems really lightweight and has nice themes ready to download, but I don't get it, you have to re-generate via "hexo generate" the public html each time you want to publish something new?

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

I thought it would be a good idea to name my dev blog after a common runtime exception. I started looking up un claimed domain names. I guess stackoverflow.com is taken. Next idea... indexOutOfBounds...?

Stuff I need to finish:
PHP framework
Music player for android
Nginx module for crypting mp4 fragments
Personal blog engine
Unit and data converter service
Personal transactions application

Too much, just too much...

The weekend is finally over, I have updated my Web Proxy and built an entire blog to post on and applied for a bunch of ad-networks.

I think I have been rather productive ☺

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 😁😁)

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

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?

Working with someone who made repetitive css code like this:

#home {
x
}
#blog {
y
}

where x and y exactly have same child classes structure with small differences, making css file somewhat large.

Build a blog and/or a todo list, it's the new hello world!

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).

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

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.

My project just needs some polish and it will be finished. It is a blog about my trip in Japan. I didn't think it would take me so long but as I am busy with my new life it took me some time. The funny thing is that when I uploaded it I thought I just needed one more week to finish it and it finally took 2 months and half ^^

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

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!

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.

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?

Any recommendations for moving a blog?

My wife and I just cancelled our account with siteground hosting a WordPress blog. Looking for a cheaper alternative. Willing to get my hands dirty as a web dev, but would like a nice CMS experience for my wife. Also want to keep our existing content. If we can keep our custom domain somehow that would be a win.

Thanks!
