Being 100% serious, I saw a guy in my Computer Programming I class using MS Word to write code that he would copy, then paste into notepad. When I asked him why he did that, he said, "Microsoft Word is easier to read than notepad."
He ended up dropping the class and changed majors.11 -
I used to get annoyed when my dad(65+ years old) had a simple computer "problem" like copy and paste that I needed to help with.
But then I remembered he showed me how to use a spoon and not shit myself so I guess it all evens out15 -
When you copy some code and select the code you want to get replaced and accidentally press Ctrl+c again so you have to copy the thing you wanted to copy again 😡14

Senior: Why did you refactor those ten files?
Junior: There was a method copy-pasted in every one of them, so I moved it to a utils class.
Senior: Don't you know we will have to test all of those changed classes again? Please, rollback!
Junior: ok.
... two days later ...
Senior: Why did you just copy-paste that method? Don't you know it's bad practice?10 -

Write a small js function using setInterval to fire a request every second ... then copy paste the code 450 times (literally, not an exaggeration) into a massive file to create a load test script.
This load test script also had no means to gather metrics or test response times or anything useful. It was literally a “did the server crash” test.9 -

So my coworker got assigned a task. She copied some code from some crappy site, without even bothering of getting rid of "John Doe" in strings or getting rid of unused functions.
She hands it over me for review and I discover that the code doesn't even work! She didn't even bother running it! Anyways, I knew that the task was urgent, so instead of sending her a review, I trash her code and write everything from scratch.
This morning I woke up with an email from her to the team saying that *she* completed the task. Sorry babe, but I cannot let you take credit for my stuff.9 -

(tl;dr at the bottom)
one day, an old "friend" asked if i would like to be part of a project with their friends to create a site, we had plenty of meetings, my partner and i were excited with this project until we realized that those girls literally wanted a copy-paste from another site, and i mean, exactly the same but translated in google translate. We even asked other developers for their opinion and they said the same, that it was a copypastarino.
so my partner and i talked to them about how we didn't want to be part of a copied project. Those girls went angry and we drop off that.
Yesterday, after almost 7 months, I found you that those girls won an "startup contest" and that they will be traveling to sillicon valley soon to meet a founder and start the business.
ooooh boy...
what would happen if we send an email pointing out that copied-googleTranslated project?
is the industry really that dumb or lazy? i mean, how is that even possible that they haven't found it out?
tl;dr
some girls just google-translated a site, my partner and i didnt want to be involved and now, 7 months later, they are going to sillicon valley to meet a founder and make it real.11 -

Xcode storyboard sucks!. At least it could've had a code version of the storyboards (like android XML layouts) so that at least you could properly copy paste a layout from somewhere.

So I decided to install Arch on my Vps.
Problem: no connection from Vps to internet.
Info: I have terminal access from my hostings panel.
Solution: basic troubleshooting and Google
Problem: this hosting uses outdated install image with broken systemd-networkd.
Solution: install networkmanager
Problem: no internet
Solution: download networkmanager and dependencies on my laptop
Problem: How do I upload them?
Solution: put them in a tar archive, then base64 it and copy paste it via the panel.
Problem: That base64 is over 30MB. No browser lets me copy and paste so much text.
Solution: Write a quick and dirty Java that reads a .txt file and presses buttons.
Problem: Browser freezes after one second
Solution: Thread.sleep(10) after each character, and Thread.sleep(1000) after 10k characters for the browser to catch up.
It's currently going and I have no idea how long it will take. I'll post an update when it finishes.
And people ask me why I love programming. It can help solve so much problems with so little work.
Edit: according to some quick calculations this will take about 5-6 hours, so I'm cancelling it, sine it's past midnight now. I'll start it up tommorow before going to college1 -

I started watching Silicon Valley some days back. Just finished season-1. I'm fucking sad and pissed off right now... No, don't get me wrong...Silicon Valley is good. I loved it.
Problem is, there is an Indian YouTube series called TVF Pitchers which had almost same story as silicon valley. I loved that series, when I watched it in 2015, after completing that I really was very impressive with the channel because of the originality and very off-the-track plot. Now after watching Silicon valley, I'm fucking sad... THEY JUST FUCKING COPY PASTED IT. yeah, some people with their "courtroom skills" will tell me that no it was different story... Fuck you! It was a copy and that's it. They removed Gilfoyle character and there was no product information in entire series... That was the biggest change in it. But overall it was a copy... A fucking copy.
The problem is they themselves, in their other videos, make fun of our movies/songs because of them being copied... Now, they are fucking doing it on their own.
I know it's not much related to devRant. Sorry about that.
Some times back, I joined a startup and they pitched in their idea as if they created it on their own... Later I found out that the same idea is running in a successful Palo Alto based company. And just like TVF Pitchers, they also used to make fun of an Indian e-commerce startup (a big one) because it was a copy of Amazon... THEN WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!!!
I don't know, but for some reason I just fucking hate it. Everybody here is busy copy fucking pasting US. They laugh at others, but they are also same... I'm going through Peter Theil's Zero to One.. and the book is making much more sense to me now.7 -

That moment when the project I was supposed to be lead on is given to someone else. Then I find out that I am responsible for the content integration... Woohoooooooo! Should I leave a bunch of span and em tags in there? Maybe I should just do straight up copy and paste into the wysiwyg?3

It was when i was 4th grade. We had windows 95 computers in school. I used tk do assignments on them and submitted with a floppy disk. Yeah, copy paste started there...

Ok, so we know you've not had any work to do for a week. Here's what we'll do - pick up this task to copy & paste shit code from one project to another. Don't worry yourself with what it does.

So I feel like I tend to copy and paste literally everything. Does this mean I am a terrible programmer? And I wouldn't be able to complete simple tasks without infringing on others work.1

I am totally not an designer and don't know alot about it. But this rant is about design.
For my company I needed a new logo, so I asked my designer friend to make something special. He just nailed it! It was good and perfect and I really liked it. But... Today another friend showed a design from Focuslab. I guess most designers know this company, but I didn't. They did a project for Assembly.com in 2013 and my logo is just a copy paste from it. Only thing my designer changed was the top colours red and blue. He just switched it. The rest of it was exactly the same!
Now, Assembly.com stopped in 2013 and I don't know a lot about copyright. Maybe you guys can help me. What should I do? Contact another designer for creating something new or just keep it? I totally love the logo though...4 -
Note to self, selecting text to copy it into the paste buffer only works in the terminal. It doesn't work in chrome...2

Detecting platform in cmake (which I hate).
WHY do you display "armv71", yet can't match the string "armv71"???!?
I'll need to post my cmake lists and cli results on stackoverflow.
OK, last try, I'll copy and paste from the terminal into my file.
Ooooh! You weren't saying "armv71"! You were saying "armv7l"! 😥
(And my font does make a difference between l and 1)1 -
!Question.
Why Web Designs are all the same ? Is it Bootstrap & Cie's fault or the Web Designers one ?5 -

One of the DB guys at work writes DB packages like this:
- open package in PL/SQL developer
- copy code to notepad
- edit PL/SQL code in notepad (yes, fucking windows notepad)
- copy and paste back from notepad to PL/SQL developer
- commit
Everytime I see him edit DB packages I can feel my brain mass shrinking.5 -
So we're using Jira Wiki for all the documentation related work. It's hell rich with features as they describe. But for me easiest way is to write doc on markdown and then copy paste on Wiki. Highlights code, format tables and aligns paras perfectly.2

Watching someone browse stackoverflow for the solution to a question. Copy and paste the most upvoted answer. Discover that it works, but fail to acknowledge or at least pay respect by also upvoted the answer they are using.
Even after they found a solution so quickly due to the fact that others had upvoted it and as a result it was at the top of the page.2 -
*thinking to myself*
Would it be faster to try to guess/remember the correct syntax and type out this line of code, or search for it on Google, then copy and paste it?1 -
Every time I have to write an official document such as a project plan or a specification sheet, I roughly copy 80% from past projects.
Some of them trace back five years from now and are still useful. Never started a document from scratch ever since.2 -

When you copy&paste a code snippet from a forum into your IDE like VS and suddenly - for some reason - after every single line comes an empty line that you first have to manually delete so that your OCD doesn't bite off your own head.

Fortunately, from what I have told my parents about it from high school to now, they basically see me as some sort of mathematician/problem solver. They understand that they don't understand, but do not belittle what I do in the process.
Now, people in other departments... They think I copy paste stuff from the internet and completely different languages and it's that easy. -
At what point can you say you are experienced in x language?
I am consistently looking up function definitions and ... how to... for languages I worked with for years.
I'm not talking like 'how do I loop through data from a database' but something like 'which param goes where for this function'

Friend is wondering if he is a copy/paste dev... :/6 -

Never type something again that you can copy paste!!!

I write a lot of custom code for a program my company sells and there is no good way to run tests on it. I just spent a bunch of time wondering why the change I made didn't work only to find I accidentally clicked paste shortcut instead of paste when copying the file. I really need to take some time to write a program to copy all my code for me instead of relying on a manual process. I guess a new night and weekend project.

I logged in a Remote Server, where Bi-Directional was disabled.Didn't allowed copy-paste and needed to upload a new Web app release.

Today I learned you can basically just copy and paste python code into a PHP script, add some brackets and change some functions and it will just work.
I guess this saves me having to rewrite this very dodgy pseudo-random number generator I have to make!1 -
Friend of mine during workshops yesterday:
F: "Shit, my copying is broken (ctrl c shortcut)"
Me: "stack overflow down and/or broken copy/paste - worst nightmare"
F: "oh it works again... For a moment there i was afraid im gonna loose my job..."
* I guess the comedy of situation doesn't translate well to rant, but still, it was funny * -
Copy-paste-edit. Started with javascript and PHP. I would copy a script and just edit some output. This was when blinking text, hit counters and guestbooks was all the rage.

If you'll do a shameless copy-paste from another project, at least find and replace ALL mentions of the copied project name and variables.

The feeling of incompetence when you realize all your life you've copied and extended tutorial code from the internet. So much so, that the thought of coding from line 0 sends a chill down your spine.

I used to dev on Windows and using a Mac was a nightmare at first because of the different keys... was always using control to try and copy and paste. Now I love Macs, though I'm constantly pressing the Windows key to try and copy and paste on Windows. #devproblems

We've been working with this client for over a year now, they want us to make a landing page with parallax effect for their microsite, our requirements was simple, for them to provide the design since we're developers and it's not in our contract that we'll provide the design.
We waited for 2 weeks, the design was emailed to us, and it's a f*cking ppster design, it's literally a poster, so I called them and asked if they can provide the "website" design, and they told me "we've already gave you, what else do you need"
I asked my boss's permission and he calmly said "okay, do it" so I copied the poster design and made it the landing page.
After submission, they called us asking why does it looks like a poster, I send them their design, they told me that it seems that I don't know how to code, I gave them the source file, and told them that they can code it if they want, they said that their dev team will work on it so it can be better.
After 2 weeks, they sent us the web files, they copied my code, made the colors different and that's it.
Such a waste of time.1 -
I used to write code but now I'm more a Google-copy-paste-coder, because more and more new documentation come up. Documentation about auth-as-a-service, backend-as-a-service, one-click-ssd-cloud-hosting-as-a-service etc.. Wtf!

I really am in a love/hate relationship with programming...
I had some free time so I decided to do the Google foo bar challenge. For testing purpose, I code in sublime text and then copy the code in the browser.
Yesterday, I spent most of the afternoon doing one challenge. I figured out how to approach the problem, which was kinda easy, and coded it in about 10 minutes. For some reason, what worked perfectly in sublime text worked without throwing any errors in the browser, but 4 of the 5 test done by Google failed.
Today, after spending a good hour tweaking some stuff in the hope that it would work, the browser editor started throwing indentation errors...
Deleted the code in the browser, copy-pasted the exact same code from sublime : All test passed!
That's a couple of hours I'm never getting back. -
Stupid Zkoss won't let me assign a UI component more than one parent. Instead of getting to use preexisting components I get to make copy/paste carbon copies. Shot my plans for code resusability to hell and back.

- Reading the docs and trying out examples (basically copy paste their example and try it in your computer)
- YouTube videos if I don't understand something from the docs. And to see how people explore various ideas I wouldn't have thought about

- Tinkering when free, else move on -
So a teacher supposedly promised to introduce me to "web Scripting" as he called it.
Time to learn and all he does is show me Dreamweaver and copy and paste code from anywhere you can imagine, he literally didn't know anything about code .

Hey guys! Quick question!
If I write an article on my blog (WordPress), then copy it and paste it word by word on LinkedIn, Medium, CSharpCorner and CodeProject.
Would my blog will be effected? Will Google kick me out of their indexing? I'd be my own content.7 -
