My first story in devRant! Was lurking for quite a while and finally felt like sharing something 🙃24 -
Imagine yourself exploring Medium, looking for some new awesome tools to try out.
You accidentally find the new, promising programming language. It called Blow. It promises itself to be “idiomatic”, “minimalistic”, “simple” and “handsome”. And it also compiles to Electron. You decide to give it a try.
It has its own package manager, simple and idiomatic – every package is “blow add” away. But it’s only three packages available: the “blowsay”, just like “cowsay”, the “this”, printing The Blow Manifesto and “blue”, which is simplistic, simple and minimalistic idiomatic handsome functional frontend framework built with simplicity in mind.
You want to build a todo app, so you type “blow add blue” and press enter.
Following Medium articles written by some guy wearing Ray-Bans, you managed to finally put a todo app together, after seven hours of straight up coding and fighting that simple and idiomatic syntax, trying to make it do what you need. Alright, it’s time to build it.
It has built-in task runner named “job”.
So you type “blow job todo”.
You spending three hours more doing “blow job this”, “blow job that”, trying to blow job everything you see. You’re tired and mad at those damn blow job hipsters created that. You literally suck at programming in that.
Everything falls apart. Things doesn’t work. And after another “ENOENT 0() 0x628 NOT_SUPPORTED”, you give up, admitting that you’ve really sucked at this.6 -
Setting my ssh banner to an instance of cowsay speaking the navy seal copypasta is one of my best ideas yet

Ok so cowsay itself is already a pretty awesome thing and combined with lolcat it just gets better.
Another awesome and cool thing is devRant and so I thought: 'Hey, why not combine these awesome things into an even more awesome thing?'
Here it is:
(I will open source the python file tomorrow :D, it is just 10 lines actually)
Please tell me if you have any more ideas! :)

I want to be in the terminal, but I don't want to do work. So I type:
brew install cowsay
Now, I have cowsay. This buys me an hour of entertainment.

my best use of Linux's ability to pipe together commands
git | cowsay | lolcats
I also have a custom bash script written that if the message is longer than 50 lines it writes cuts it off with a '...more' and outputs to a file where I can read the full details if needs be.

2017 and I still have to work with Angular 1 because, according to my manager, other frameworks aren't safe for now5

cowsay.

all the nice models and none of them work.
the things we do when we should be doing something productive.

What is the whole hype about Vue? It just feels like angular 1 with vdom, inline styles and a custom file extension.4

My manager is making my team fill the tasks' "completed work" field in TFS with the exact same amount of hours we were inside the company. This seems unrealistic and doesn't take in account our daily capacity of 6h. What do you guys think of this? What should I tell her to convince her otherwise? Please, help me!2

Come up with an idea of yet another alternative to React that'd be supposedly faster and smaller.
Stop myself. -
I'm so happy I've just made all the 4 pull requests necessary to get a t-shirt from DigitalOcean! So, how is this anyway, will they send me an email asking for my size?2
-
Will in the future exist a language called JavaScriptScript named because of JavaScript's popularity although it has nothing to do with it?2
-
The client made us add an overlay that blocks the whole screen for any request. Guess what he wants now that he's seen it working? To press Esc to "close" it and stop the request.

I just got directly offered to work as a front end tech lead in a company that is partner with Atlassian, but I'm kinda confused because I don't meet the requirements for the job (such as 8 years of experience as a dev). Has this ever happened to you?4

Came across these two given by fortune:
1. "If you are afraid of loneliness, don't marry." -- Chekhov
2. I am so broke that I cant even pay attention -
Something to keep you eyes occupied:
while true; do fortune | cowsay -f "$(find /usr/share/cowsay/ -iname "*.cow" | xargs shuf -n1 -e)"; sleep 10; done -
How do you guys deal with spacing in react? I already tried: putting it in components' styles directly, creating a component for whitespace and making utility css classes. Still I always end up finding a situation where it becomes harder and/or requires a workaround.
