When ransomeware guys provide better customer support than most companies 😂

We have info screens around Danmark where companies can buy local ads. This happend yesterday..

I found a //TODO in our companies code that's there since early 2016.

The company was founded in early 2016.

Companies asking if your desired salary is negotiable.

I want a TV program like "Kitchen Nightmares" but with IT companies.
And with Linus Torvalds in place of Gordon Ramsey

Companies: We can’t find any senior developers to hire.

Also companies: We pay seniors like juniors.

When popular companies are hiring

I was in McDonald's and annoyed to see queues for all the self-service machines. I noticed one of them had nobody queueing though. Several people walked up to it, looked for two seconds, then just walk away. So naturally I had a look myself, and I saw that it was just a string displaying a bit wrongly. Hah!

So I walk up, close that order then make my own. Nothing at all wrong with it, people just have no clue about how computers work. Nobody even tried pressing the buttons after seeing that.

Of course I put it back to the broken screen before I left. I like chaos.

Big companies be like :

To the companies that make it extremely hard to leave their newsletter:

FUCK YOU

I got my moment.

I hate Internet Explorer, I hate Microsoft for developing it, I hate people using it and I hate companies forcing their employees to use it 😤

Well I ended my interviews-adventure finally.

Applied for three companies:
- KindOfBigCompany
- BiggestCompany
- BiggestCompany2

I failed in the last two. But got the job in the first one.

The bittersweet sensation is that I got the job in the first one first and then got rejected by the other two so my last feeling is the rejection one. And I really liked BiggestCompany2.

BUT KindOfBigCompany is actually really cool and has a lot of benefits and also I'll earn much more than I currently am so I guess Happy Ending after all :D

To Companies and Developer who go the extra mile to put Linux as a platform...

Apparently Apple is bringing Dual Sim Tech to it's phones in future.

Apple = Internet Explorer of Companies

I'll never understand how big companies like Amazon can get away with such a shitty UX.

Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares but for development companies/teams. Please make it happen.

!dev

I find it funny to see how people very often go into defense mode (of those companies) when I call them (a select amount of companies) mass surveillance companies.

I mean, when you search for the definition of a surveillance compatible (or, surveillance) and see what those companies (Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, AOL, Yahoo, Paltalk), it outright matches that of (a) surveillance company/companies.

Then, when you look at the scale they perform this at (mass scale, mass amount of people/users), it fits the definition of a mass surveillance company...

No matter how you turn it, those companies are, per definition, (mass) surveillance companies (apart from the fact that they're integrated within worlds biggest created government powered mass surveillance program ever).

Some companies have images of their tech support personnel in their websites.

They show you Steve and Michael......but in reality you get Rajhit and Pakalu

😡why companies do this 😤

Some companies be like-

.. In job posting - We are the next big thing. We are going to change the industry. We are like Google / Facebook etc...

..in Introduction - We are the next big thing. We are going to change the industry. We are like Google / Facebook etc...

.. in Interviews - We are the next big thing. We are already changing the industry. Think of us like Google / Facebook etc...

.. during Interviews - Our interview process is rigorous because we are the next big thing. We are going to change the industry. We are like Google / Facebook etc...

.. questions in interviews - Since we are Google / Facebook, please answer questions on Java, C/C++, JS, react, angular, data structure, html, css, C#, algorithms, rdbms, nosql, python, golang, pascal, shell, perl...
.. english, french, japanese, arabic, farsi, Sinhalese..
.. analytics, BigData, Hadoop, Spark,
.. HTTP(s), tcp, smpp, networking,.

..

..

..

.. starwars, dark-knight, scarface, someShitMovie..

You must be willing to work anytime. You must have 'no-excuses' attitude

.........................................

Now in Salary - Oh... well... yeah... see.... that actually depends on your previous package. Stocks will be given after 24 re-births. Joining bonus will be given once you lease your kidneys.

But hey, look... We got free food.

Well, SHOVE THAT FOOD UPTO YOUR ASS.

FUCK YOU...
FUCK YOUR 'COOL aka STUPID PIZZA BEER - CULTURE'.
FUCK YOUR 'FLAT- HIERARCHY'.
FUCK YOUR REVOLUTIONARY-PRODUCT.

FUCK YOU!

Fuck companies which try (and fail) to use street slang & outdated memes to reach their "target audience".

Why the fuck do all these good fucking companies need that proven fucking 3 years of work fucking experience to join? You gotta fucking start somewhere

That moment you realize that a recruiter refactored your resume and "corrects" Symfony to Symphony and sent it to multiple companies...

Companies: We are commited to linux and it is truly the future!
Developers: Awesome! So are you going to port your most popular softw-
Companies: AI! Machine Leaning! Cloud computing! Streaming!

I like when american companies adopt Unicode ;)

Companies going from "What do you mean by 'working from home'?!" to "Go home and work or you are fired!"

Companies that measure productivity with lines of code written.

Sometime around this point, major companies like Google and minor companies like devRant are preparing for a yet another stupid April Fools joke.... Lol

So yeah, I got fed up with assholes offering unpaid internships while demanding the work of a paid employee and I went around reporting all of them for violating the law.

Hope it does something. I hate these people taking advantage of vulnerable post secondary students for their crappy, worthless startups.

Pretty accurate

The world laughed at iPhone when it removed the jack.
Now more companies are doing it, wtf

Indian web dev company (during the interview)::
We follow standards

Me:: Hey, can I get the project's github link so that I can fork it, do my tasks, run test cases, push and, make pull request that you can review, run integration test, and finally merge.

Indian web dev company:: What?? Here's the ftp credentials.

Me::

My gf said some of Japanese companies specifically ask developers to code for IE6 and IE6 only. 🕺

Glad that I don't have to work for them.

I hate how companies blindly follow shitty trends by apple. First the jack, now this

That moment when you nail a technical interview for one of your dream companies!

I think we were one of the tens of companies to actually pay for one of Apple's most obscure products.

Indian web dev companies suck ( for developers )

when I finished 3 year grad program in computer application here in my country (India), I thought life's gonna be fun working as a developer. Oh boy, I was so wrong.

I started out working for a small service based IT company, followed by 2 more. I realized really quickly that they're nothing short of a scam. If your company's only agenda to somehow survive in the market and showing no signs of growth in 8 fucking years, then I'm sorry you're working for scamsters.

Now I'm not saying that all of them are alike. But most of them sorta are.

They don't give a shit about quality, not one bit. Quality means no money in the short run. And they haven't been able to develop any strategy to deal with that. Hence, no growth.

They promise 100 things on their website but only provide shitty services in 10.

There is no pair programming, no code review, no code quality check, no architect, no database designer. They won't give you extra time to write test cases. They use git as a storage device.

They don't put their developers (especially the ones who are learning) under any sort of managed development framework to ensure smooth work.

At the end of the day, their main objective is to somehow NOT deliver a project but finish a milestone and make money out of it.

After cashing out for a milestone, they want you to put your current project on hold and start working on a new project until you have like 10-15 projects in the pipeline and you're severely overwhelmed and you just wanna fucking QUIT.

They would say YES to literally every fucking thing, only to disappoint the client later.

I can't believe someone in the US, or UK thought it'd be a good idea to approach these companies
for their brand new app ideas. They're so fucked.

They're rarely finishing any project.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I had to get it out of my system.

If you could get rid of one tech company who would it be..

Mine would be apple - fuck apple

How it's like to work in game Dev companies

School forced me and two classmates to do a project for a company...

Apparently, the company got paid 20K for developing the app, and we're sitting here without even a thank you...

Worst part is:
Our final grade depends on this...

Don't be afraid to approach companies that aren't actively hiring. No-one will look negatively at a positive attitude

!rant
What I really like about all these growing startups/platforms like airbnb, netflix etc, is that they open source their cool technologies so that anybody can use them. If you look through their github repos, you can find a lot of cool and interesting stuff and especially it's mostly already battle tested and it works.

Imo this is some really big contribution in turn to the money they make :)

Are there any website or public list that shame companies and websites for sending passwords in plaintext whenever we tend to reset the password?

working on two projects.
at the same time.
for 2 different companies
2 completely different scenarios
2 completely different languages

nodejs and golang

All those random HR people from random recruiting companies adding you on LinkedIn.

STOP.

Companies like this should not be allowed to live

This is 2020. All these companies should know BSc in computer science doesn't mean shit to software development

Just got my best friend to use Signal instead of FB. Now I can talk to him all day without being spyed by some fucking companies

Devops here, Devops there ... Stop with this bullshit, less than half of the guys with Devops on their CV truly are Devops.

Same shits for Fullstack or Scrum Master, and I think I know why.

Because recruiters and companies absolutly ignore what it truly is : "Devops ? That's the new name for sysadmin hipster, believe me we're not hiring Sysadmin anymore but Devops now.".

So now they want more and more people with these profiles.
This is just leading everyone to become what they're not.

Please get your facts straight before fucking everything up.

Forget porn detection and chatbots. What the big companies SHOULD be using AI for is detecting missing semicolons in code.

Welp, thanks companies for canceling the open positions. 😐 Particularly those I applied for. 😐

There are legal companies in my home country who make a living by selling pirated games and software for only 2$ each...

Tech companies be like:

"We're looking for some young graduates with at least 12 years of experience"

"All it needs to do is keep my fucking beer cold"

So many companies could learn from Gilfoyle!!

Companies, please, hire people that like simple solutions.

Do companies enjoy making themself look like cunts or is there something I'm missing?

One reason behind so many startups today maybe companies treating employees as slaves...😑😑
I am thinking about starting my own startup.😒

Who's at fault for the recent Wanna Cry virus: The companies affected or Microsoft/NSA?

Personally, I think it's the companies affected. This is what happens when you try and be cheap when it comes to cyber security​.

hearing many of these companies names, for the first time

Actual patch notes from one of my companies repos.

Why the fuck is it, that American online companies ONLY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS

WHY NOT JUST DEMAND FUCKING CHECKS FOR PAYMENT

IT Companies Reality

Do all companies ask candidates to solve some crazy puzzles before interviewing them? These puzzles have nothing to do with the job!

Companies be like.....

CSS misalignment by huge companies really ticks me off.

perks of having your friends in companies nearby your home:
you can use their company Wi-Fi!
yay.....free Wi-Fi! 😋

FUCK.

Payment provider determining transaction uniqueness based on its amount.

How companies like that survive is a major head scratcher for me.

I think I prefer to work for smaller companies... I started working in a startup while going to university. It was very chaotic and they paid low, but now while working for my bachelor thesis I am at big company and I am kind of fucked up by a lot more of things... It starts with the fact that I have no admin permissions on my notebook. Then I have to use Windows because legacy stuff. This is also the reason we have to use IE or sometimes Edge. I tried home office this week and after 2h in which I had a 1h phone call with the in-house support, where I tried to figure out why the company VPN doesn't Work on the company notebook, what finally won't work and I will get another notebook next week, I switched to my personal computer and wrote documentation as this was the only thing I could do. Next thing is the fact, that the IT building is actually a few meters in front of the actual company area. I have no access to this area but there is the cantina and the machines I am working with. So every time I want to go there, I have to ask a colleague to come with me to pass the controls at the entrance. I also noticed that my access card is only valid between 7:30 and 17:30 because reasons so I literally can't come early if I want to leave sooner.
All these things are so disturbing..

I am searching for hosting companies that is located in obscure and/or remote/unknown places. Do some of you know one or two?

It feels like companies pretend that unpaid internships are important for a resume just so they can have people slave away at their own cost year after year...

Why did apple remove the battery time Time remaining? I hate when companies remove features...

There are still companies using coldfusion.

Can someone please explain to me the purpose of developers wearing formal clothing ?? Some companies in my country also require ties and suits. Why ??

Apparently, companies want UI devs under the name of Full Stack Developer. Smh.

Fucking idiot companies who only offer their software for windows! WTF? Who even uses windows for anything?

I feel companies let you sign an NDA just as a foolproof rant protection

Indian outsourcing web companies on their websites be like:
"We provide services in IOT, Machine Learning, Data Analysis, Web security analysis, blah blah"

Me excitingly joins the company and finds out, they all are PHP developers developing unsecured websites.

If people and companies I email could stop ghosting me, that'd be greeeeeeeeeaaaaaat.

My companies holiday party. Who would’ve known devs could have fun

I am listening EDM from 3days and Today this notification reminds me,Google data stealing and selling to other companies.

When I was a beginner ppl told me
"French companies hire Indian developers because they're cheaper"

Today ? Oh I'm working for an Indian company.

So, Europe lost today...
Now we just have to hope, that companies will apply these laws only in countries where they should, otherwise a really dark times for internet are coming.

I let my studies suffer to build a CRM for a company only for them to say they have no money to pay me. I feel like a failure. That was my first ever successful project.

Always love seeing massive companies fail in simple trivial things like these. Just tells me they don't have proper QA.

Code FUCKING Rape!!! that kids is when companies throw lots of creative and talented programmers / coders / developers at a system and say FIX IT!

F*** companies that give you a coding project to work on and still haven't responded a month after submission. Tech interviews are so beyond f***ed.

"Even large companies need small logos." - Tanner Christensen

Just because I don't have any message in my work email account doesn't mean I have to get shit talk from Microsoft (out of all the tech companies)!!!!

My goal is simple:

Make a shit ton of money, buy companies, fire all the devs ruining our profession.

Sometimes i wonder, why do big companies write horrible api, it feels like they don't want beginners to even touch them 😒

The worst interview . . . .

So I wasn't looking for a job, but I wasn't happy in mine, and I would listen to pitches. Recruiter calls me about a Java job. I tell him I know JS and it's probably not a good fit. He insists my resume looks good and that they are happy to train. I know just enough Java to relent. Eventually we set up an phone interview for a day I happen to have off anyway because I'm going out of town. Morning of, I'm waiting around for the call. An hour after the scheduled time, the recruiter calls and tells me they had an "emergency" and wouldn't be able to speak today. One whole hour of my day, making me late to leave town: no one anywhere in the whole company could give me a call, no explanation, no apologies, for a job I had told them I wouldn't be a good fit for anyway.

I left them hanging the rest of the weekend and then take my name out of the running on Monday. Respect people's time and lives!

Companies Mentality.

If an employee dies during working hours, companies be like "That's so unprofessional! did he just died without filling up the form and announcing to us?"

Anyone else seen this before. A friend of mine showed me this as a return from a third party companies API his office was using

I'm starting to think, that these programming tests that companies give out, are just a way for me to their work... especially when they don't reply.

It's really sad how companies in UAE misusses the internship term, and make the poor interns do full time job with minimum or no salary.

Definetly signing in and out of my companies time tracking system.
It only works in internet explorer 8 and is a real pain -.-

I am getting really tired of companies who think they are "doing the DevOps" because they have a VM in AWS

Great thing about changing companies is you can recycle last years costume.

how would you react to companies who use soft for taking screenshots of workers pc?

Just want to see the subway schedule...
Why so many transport companies continue to use windows?

SPF, DKIM and DMARC successfully implementet. It is fun to have a more spoofproof email than many major companies

Companies be like : Recruiting College Freshers, walkin Interview. 2-3 years experience required ☺

Me be like: 🙂 Absolutely, Bitches. It is just as much possible as your dad to unfuck your mom, so that you would completely disappear from this world. Good heavens, if only that were possible.

Is it too much to ask for companies in the current world to be.. oh I don't know.. honest and consistent?

If you advertise on your Job section: "We always give our candidates feedback, whether they got the job or not". Then, *****, give them feedback! I applied and they never got back to me. And no, that's not feedback.

So what do you guys do when you can't sleep?

I'm currently writing Powershell scripts to manage my companies office 365 because I dislike the web interface.

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.

Big companies are crazy.. Half a million euro for a REST API.. Is that normal?!

Indian Companies:

"We want you to join us within 15 days"

* Employee resigns *

"We want you to serve 2 months of notice period"

#Madafukas

Elon musk starts new companies like I start new projects.

I like that he's doing AI research, but it's annoying that the day after he tweets something, everybody's telling me that Elon Musk already invented true AI.

These companies are basically just think tanks, so why not call them that?

Really proud of my country!
Today the court rules that internet companies cannot block websites that provides illegal sport broadcasts.

Good!

Why can't big companies like Facebook include a fucking change log I the update description in App Store?

Does anyone else hate calling support for hosting companies and such? I use it as a last resort because I hate talking on the phone 😬

Fucking shut down the companies having 3 months of notice period.

When you go out for lunch and interns from other companies dress better than you do #ctoproblems

Companies that expect interns to work for free since they are learning at the job. sincerely fuck off!

Be proactive and improve your own projects. Publish them on GitHub, and make sure your LinkedIn profile is set up. You'll be contacted soon by companies for sure!

Does anyone hear in their company about risk assessment towards American tech companies and their services?

It came to my ear that many European big companies are asking analysis\risk-assessment companies about the reliance on American services and commodities because of how the big American corporations reacted at the Huawei ban.
It's like if America did this to such big Chinese company, they have proven that they cannot be reliable in the long term because of political turmoil.

What companies think they're hiring for - software engineers. Actually they're looking for unicorn duct tapers.

When you got hired

HR: please come to us if there's any problems related work so that we can give a solution.

After years of working you send a mail with you problems, it's been months. Still no reply! And try to avoid conversation regarding that problem.

Is it just me or do a lot of job ads seem daunting? Companies seem to expect you to know pretty much every major tech stack, and pay less than 35k and in some cases as low as 28k... Unbelievable 🙄

Stay above petty stuff at work. It can sap time and energy. Not worth it. I have encountered it at so many companies.

Facebook. The only reason I still have a FB account is the groups - house rental, student buy\sell groups etc.

Microsoft for Windows 10 - some things are good but generally it really sucks capybara balls (too bad for me - I'm an avid gamer).

Also Asus and Razer for overpricing their shit. And Razer have the most dumbassest names for their products.

Oh and Apple of course - I love their products and I'd love to buy and use some of them, but I hate their scummy policies and customer treatment too much.

Startups have too much randomization.

Large companies have too little.

When companies require good understanding of English when theirs is awful..

The company I used to work for, despite me not working there contacts me to get a verification code because the crappy developer they hired can't change a couple settings on the apple website and add themselves as a developer.

At the start of this all, a couple months back I gave them the code out of courtesy, but at this point, as i'm heavily invested in the development stage of my actual job as a vr developer, I won't take time out of my day to even answer the phone for them.

But what really pisses me off is the person who contacts me, my assumbly best friend, who during the last 12 months has only called me for these codes, so work related shit or just personal shit and never to hang out or play games or generally what we used to do as friends before he got a job at that stupid company doesn't have the balls to tell his boss that i'm busy with my job, that maybe if payment was offered as an incentive that I would be happy to be contacted.

When I left that company I didn't setup anything to make it so they would have to contact me, all I did was add myself as a developer of their app. I also heavily documented everything I did, all the issues I faced and the workarounds I found, and everything including all login information needed to get things working, I went above just "developing" the app I added in all the credits to all work used in the app as partly to make sure we don't get sued for stealing someones work without the right credit.

I hate the fact that I worked for minimum wage and did all of this shit, but I never complained at all about things like the 1 1/2 hour travel time (one way I might add) to my boss, the amount of money I spent on public transportation, the little money left over that I didn't even spend and instead give to my parents.

They know nothing about how hard that year was for me, and if they want to get this code, my so called friend can come chat in person, in his off time and when I'm done working on my own shit and we can discuss terms because this shit is just not fair at all.

Builds software and games for companies for money.
Pirates software and games for own use.

Happened in December, had devs from "big" companies coming over to our start up and doing a sprint with us. Very humbling 🙂

When companies pass themselves off as AI but it is really just profiling.

I looked through hell for evil tech companies, and I keep being shown silicon valley. wat do?

How to deal with situations when in work people are overstepping personal boundaries too much?

My situation is that 2 months ago I started working in a very small startup and it currently consist of 3 ceos(main ceo, marketing ceo, product manager) and 3 employees (backend, android and ios).

What I currently dread is tea breaks. There is one at monday before work which lasts for 1 hour. And there is another one at Friday after lunch which lasts 1 hour again. I hate these Friday talks about "what are your plans for the weekend" which then triggers a circlejerk of ppl trying to impress each other about what they are going to do on their weekends. Same happens on mondays they circlejerk about how their weekend was amazing.

My situation is that I came to this country just to get skills and make shit ton of money when Im at it. Besides my fulltime work, I also am freelancing part time in my previous gig and also Im managing 2 other hobbie projects. I like to keep myself occupied during weekends so they usually consist of shopping/pc repairs/gym/working on my hobbie projects.

So basically when I tell them what I've done over the weekend the ceo's don't seem to be impressed so they start suggesting me to do something else. I completely loose any motivation of sharing my personal life when they start telling me what to do with my life.

I don't feel like exploring the city or meeting new people since maximum Im going to stay in this country is 6-9 more months. Then I'm probably going back to my own country.

Anyways even overall, I started dreading this companies culture. The politeness is so fake. For example there is an employee which has worked 3 years for them and the ceos haven't even increased his salary. I joined 2 months ago and I get paid more than him! They dont value loyalty at all since immigrants can be replaced easily. Another example: 2 weeks ago it was my birthday and no one from ceos even shook my hand, for them it was normal to just say happy bd during a standup.

So fking weird. I feel like I'm seeing redflags every day and not sure how long more I can stay here.

My companies policy , you do your work better and you will do the work of everything other fucker who is not able to deliver in time .

😠😠

When I had to choose a service, I chose bitbucket. Now the other two are getting flamed. Seems like I chose right. But in the end who knows what is good and what is bad. Peaches are delicious. Winter is coming. And I definitely don't care.

My companies making me rewrite bootstrap for our own use across our apps 😖😫 why why why.

Ever since i joined my company, things are getting worse.

from small details like them abandoning team lunches to big ones like the fact no one or at least i didnt get any bonus this year.

I know for a fact bonuses were a thing before i joined and i was really looking forward to it...

And now by the end of the month we will recieve word about whether we are getting acquired or not...

After reading this rant one would think the company is getting bankrupt, and this worries me because this job was best i could ever ask for, i dont wanna abandon ship :/

oh fuuuck!
hate that feeling to see in around my place many companies searching for devs but im not skilled enough yet to apply 😢

do all the IT Companies want to hire us as senior devs & pay as junior? Or it is just my country?

I'm very angry at C# 😡 (and java in some degree). Recently I decided to create huge project in C#. (It is my favorite launguage now because of great VS2017 its features, lib and such). I used windows form app in order to make pretty gui for this program. Everything worked fine, but i decided to implement some 3d rendering system in order to display grafs in 3d, oh how foolish was I.

Ok so what are my options?
1.DirectX9 -> abandoned by microsoft, they say its ded so nope.
2. DX11 -> great! i even can use sharpdx or simpledx to use it! oh wait, what is that? INVALID DX CALL
(in demo code)Damit!
3.OpenGL -> obsolete, lib non existent.
4. Library that comes with .NET -> WFP only sorry!
(i found some dogdy tutorials on yt for dx11 but they need .net 2.0 really?) 😐

In that moment i decided to swich to java. (because Java c#_launguage = new Java("microsoft");)
After 1 day of instaling eclipse and 2 more to install the newest jdk MANUALY i realized that java isn't that easy to use as C#, because:
- no dynamic type-> HUGE PAIN i cant use a single list to store everything buuuu!
-console? yes but its burried inside some random lib and its not consistent with every java version!
-gui editor similar to VS one? oh you need to create it from scrach!😫

Well at lest i can render things. So maybe java will render suff as another tool in my app? Nope pipes NON existent, we need to use sockiets! (unity pipe plugin was easier! worked but it was SLOW)

Ok so after few more days of struggling i managed to render simple graf using directx9 in my original C# project that works fine.. 😥 I only need to create a lib to wrap in and we are done!

Why can't companies create a laungage that will have ALL the features i need? Or at lest give me something like pipes that work in every laungage that will be helpful!

I know it is sometimes stressful to be a dev. But when your program works 😀 that is great feeling! Especialy when you learned to code yourself like me 😁. (student before a university, that lives in small abadoned town)

companies be like, selling their "professional" subscription while doing nonsense like this

Ugh fuck living in Australia trying to buy tech, wanted to treat myself and get a Skagen falser smartwatch. Nope, but we ship to the US...

Always having to pay extra for the same product, pissed me off when people were complaining that $60 is too much for a AAA game and here we are sitting at base of $100.

Can people start realising other countries want tech as well?
Every other Smartwatch other than ticwatch aren't available in Australia, I just want something minimal and with a metal body, fuck companies man -,-

Do online courses/certificates actually mean something to companies/universities?

Coursera courses? OpenClassrooms? Stuff like that.

Nothing makes me not want to take a full-time job at your company more than having to go through IT tickets every quarter year when my password expires to actually change my password. Why have a fucking self-service portal for employees if logging in with an expired password doesn't work and the reset password link tells me that I need to log in to enroll with security questions (???). It feels like these websites are glued together with sticks and spit and there's a million of them each sporting one specific purpose! I have to go through this shit multiple times since I'm an intern and I didn't have access to my account through the course of the semester. Get your fucking shit together!

One of my classmates is going to start working on MAINFRAME at a company as his first job after graduation.

I feel bad for him.

Dear devrant community, I have a question...

For perspective, a few years ago, we had an incident, where one dev was looking for other employment, he did not say anything, he was just looking, and ended up accepting an offer, handing in his resignation and all that. But there was another dev doing the same thing, but he informed management that he was thinking of leaving, and would be attending interviews... Personally I note difference in treatment of the dev that was honest, he was slightly getting phased out and getting the cold shoulder most of the time combined with weird kindness that was cearly not sincere, where the other dev was given a hard time for not saying anything about them looking for other opportunities, and treated as though they betrayed all the trust they had earned and no longer deserved to be trusted....

My question is, what, in your opinion, is the right thing to do when you are looking for a new opportunity? Do you tell management, or is it actually none of their business?

Upvote if you are one of the lucky devs, which companies use Google Cloud Storage or any other AWS S3 competitor :)

Companies be all excited when you're available immediately but then be in no rush to get back to you

Oh man. When I look for a job after I'm done with school, I need to watch out for those "pay-per-line" bullshit contracts. More lines? Everyone can do that, but it will cause inefficiency just for the money. I could make a fucking Python Hello World program have 100 needed lines if I wanted to, but why would I? More lines = more typing ≠ more work.

When a website designed for companies to test applicant coding skills has web site bugs....awkward...

Anyone else find devrant through devswag.io? Great site that lists companies that give away stickers, clothing etc.

There are 2 types of tech companies

•The ones who give free SWAG
•The ones who don't

all companies want hire you asap and all those companies also wants you to sign a contract with at least one month notice leave

Not a rant, but I was offered dev positions at 2 companies. Excited to start working as a developer! I guess I'll get to post actual rants soon.

I hate when companies use "hackable" as a feature. Pal, if my product was hackable I'd fix it ASAP.

They should just use customisable or something like that.

Bachelor of software engineering, master of business administration = executive level job at large software companies.

It's pretty simple actually..,

Salesforce's api is goddamn impossible to get caught up with. It's no wonder companies spend 100s of thousands of dollars integrating this bullshit CRM

Lack of basic cyber security in companies is ridiculous. High on executives risk list.

I think both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates named their companies after their dicks.

Gotta love the companies that offer 24/7 live chat then tell you to submit a support ticket about the simplest of things.

I absolutely hate it when companies use this or that medium for communications despite me asking them time and time again for another.

I have a mail server for more professional communications. The phone, only for stuff that won't matter if I inevitably end up forgetting about it (even more so now that Google made call recording more or less impossible, laws be damned). I will forget about a phone call no doubt. I've got better shit to do than to remember your manglement decisions, thank you very much. On mail, that's all nicely on my mail server for retrieval in several years even.

So I ask them to use the email address I gave them, a dedicated one for their company too (catch-all go brrr). Can't do that with phone numbers. Managing all those SIM cards aside, our government has now limited the amount of SIM cards one can have to 10. And texts and phone calls are not a long-term medium! And I can't share my phone number with just about anyone because people will inevitably spam the shit out of it, AND it's hard to replace! It's not a good medium! So with all due respect, companies - I couldn't care less what medium you prefer to use for your customers. You don't care about what your customer wants you to use - explicitly so! - and you lose a customer. It's as simple as that. Dealing with manglement is one thing, but dealing with manglement using the wrong media is something I'd really rather not do.

But hey I guess that virtue signalling is more "in" than actually listening to your goddamn customers nowadays? Let's replace another master/slave reference. You know, arguing that if we did that 2 years ago, George Floyd would've totally survived. Not by fixing the US police brutality, oh no no no. That's not the right way. Changing nomenclature and hashtags however, and not giving half a shit about your customers, yeah that's the way to go!

Gotta love the companies that give you the choice to register for their newsletter but will add you to it regardless if you ticked the box or not.

When Google (or other companies) make AI that makes another AI or code does the original AI write comments?

I love working for friends companies. Not getting paid is fine, I get free expensive stuff instead! 😂

Companies in FUCKING 2020 be like

raindrops
drop tops
buy our cheeseburgers

So this company called me for an internship interview. They told me to learn a new framework and develop an entire system with it within a week so as to get a chance for the internship. Jokes on you. I ain't coming back you SHITHOLES.

True reason of unemployment-

Firstly companies hire people to make their software automate and then after successful completion of the project, the company terminates most of the employees.

If professors that teach programming classes are experts, why are they teaching instead of working for multimillion dollar companies?

I want to rant about it but I don’t even know what to say.

It’s just sad that people share the most personal things with Facebook and other services as long as it’s not a person who asks for it.

It’s just a machine who knows me better than my parents do.

OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES.
Who is behind the machine? Humans.

It’s 2019. Soon 2020.

They still don’t get it.

That’s what you should teach those kids. A class “how to protect your privacy”..

Not this Shit: : if I Buy 20 melons that contain 70% water, they loose 1% each mile. You carry them for 15 miles. 5 of those miles are in the sun which makes the water vaporize 5x faster. How much fruit exclusive water is left at the end?

WHO THE FUCK CARES? We have cooling boxes and cars.

Focus on something important please..

Fucking pay cuts are already here. My fuckwad company decided to push paycuts for the entire year.

Are companies still hiring in a pandemic? If they are, who?

Current companies says that developers has a lot of time to code but in reality we dont, we are not given the right time to develop certain features.

Do you think dropping off in person your resume to companies have slight edge or not? If you did drop off your resume how did you do it?

Specially in big companies like amazon or other big companies?

One of the most inefficient practices I've seen done in companies is the company housing 50+ devs having to hire an expensive consultant who is only available on a limited time to figure out mysterious or in-depth problems with the company's main application (for example, JavaScript problems).

Then the whole dev team sits on his shoulders and production can't run smoothly until he fixes things. Even worse, him having the so-called qualifications, being the 'expert', but when asked an in-depth JavaScript question, they don't know the answer.
When I suggest to figure out things in-depth so problems like these can be prevented in the future, I'm met with: "Nah bro, we'll just apply quick fix #2" just because I carry the title 'Junior Developer'. Makes me want to hit my head on the wall on how stupid these people are.

This could all be solved if the dev team would be competent in the first place, knows how to read documentation and isn't lazy, most importantly. I hate teams like that.
Grab, the damn, documentation, read W3C, read MDN, get educated, and stop using band-aid solutions! Gah.
Toxic companies like these are what's wrong with some places in the development world.

I'm a proponent of knowledge.
Fellas, know your stuff.

My dream is, that I could make a living from developing my opensource libraries. And some Companies pay me to develop some features for them.

Being a Mobile Developer and seeing corporate companies stuck in a mindset of Web Development. Analytics using Breadcrumb trails. oh, okay then. Makes sense.

Buy dell, hp, lenovo and any other craptop company out there and fire all the numbnuts working there so that they slowly die of unemployment in the fucking gutters where their useless asses rightly belong. Oh and castrate them too so that they don't reproduce.
I'm considering going full Lannister on them but that might be too harsh.

Does nobody want a dev intern in Lod Angeles? Been calling companies all day telling them I'll work for free lol. at lady they're taking my resume

Going in for a restaurant interview today because no tech companies want to hire a college student, but I have to get by somehow....

Every company seems to be changing up there logos....well that company did it, I guess we should as well

The moment you get the internship in big companies and after some days after working there you realize, it's not worth.

Being a fresh junior developer and trying to build experience is all well and good except when some companies ask for a minimum of two years experience...

Why do these e-marketing companies always have some kind of manager/consultant/strategist/marketeer/whatever to handle emails between me and their devs. Instead of emailing with another technical person and quickly fixing the problem I end up sending one billion emails to someone who has no clue on what needs to be done to fix te problem. From now on my emails contains a part called "to your developer:" explaining the technical part of the email.

And no - I don't want to plan a conference call... just let me code dammit!

I wonder if software companies leaks their cracked product to internet with viruses to remove users' desire for using their products for free 🤔

What keyboard do you use on your phone?
Considering the fact that the companies that made them may be spying on you?

Want to find new job, but there's no good companies in city i live... don't want to move...life is dilemma

Typical insurance company BS approach.

Listening to xmas music, Spotify ad kicks in about 'just being "hacked"':

Buy our cyber security insurance product to quickly recover and retain liquidity in case of a cyber security beach.

Not a single word about preventing the incidents in the first place...

Lucky to work in a place that doesn't skimp on IT.

Some of the software companies haunt their former employees to maintain the projects they worked on before leaving them, even if these companies know they have a full-time new job.

I hate the feeling when your supposedly crappy company starts feeling heavenly when people looking to join come from *even worse* companies. I mean, I start feeling "how in the actual hell are these companies even alive??!!"

It makes me wonder if I was just born in the wrong country or joined the wrong industry :/

Middle management in some companies is just crowd control.
