When you're not creative enough to make a post that would give you some stickers but you have a 3D printer...

When you fucked up, but everything is working.

Credits to my son.

I wish I could be this creative

Another creative one...

Now that's a creative hack

What kind of tattoo would you like for yourself guys? I think this is pretty creative.

This is very creative

Just when you thought pen testers couldn't get more creative

kinda creative:

A customer got an error in one of our applications. He made a screenshot, printed the screenshot, scanned the printed screenshot and attached the scanned jpeg to the e-mail :-D

@dfox @trogus How about ++ milestones?
F.e.:
404 ++'s: “Error 404“
255 ++'s: “256 Bytes“
69 ++'s: (Well you know...)
And so on... (be creative)

Best way to handle exceptions..

Someone got creative with their GitHub profile

Realised this today.

One of the things I love the most about my job is the requirement to be creative and hackish.

Sometimes you just have to debug/fix stuff in the weirdest ways and this requires for me to think out of the box.

Something that's very new for me on this level!

When you copy a big answer from StackOverflow and it works perfectly, but then you feel bad for a split second that you just copied the whole thing and didn't do anything creative :(

Rate my WiFi setup.. 😅
Thanks to Ajio.. ✌️
This is what happened why your roommate's are trying to be creative..

*Downloading a linux iso (distrohopping YAY) because the download stopped last night*
*200kbs instead of the 5mbs last night*

*sets up a subdomain for downloading iso's*
*enables SSL*
*downloads the iso to my server*
*copies the iso to the directory of the iso subdomain*
*starts downloading the iso from the server*

5mbs YAY

I am weird 😆

I'm hiring and I'm fucking done with recruiters buttering up skills etc and sending me BS candidates.

Interview earlier today...
CV: MySql skill level 10 (out of 10)
Reality: Can't write a simple JOIN!

Yesterday...
CV: PHP 6+ years exp, self proclaimed ninja/jedi/oracle.
Reality:
[Me]: Write me a function to map an array to x.
[Ninja]: What's an array?

I've come to the conclusion that the type of dev I want on my team is highly unlikely to be looking for work much less using some piece of shit shady agent to find work so I need to hunt him / her down personally and can use the phenomenally large recruiters fee as a hiring bonus / incentive.

Only problem now is finding quality full stack devs in the area (Johannesburg, South Africa).

I'm thinking of posting a 'challenge' job add to filter out good candidates - some kind of code challenge to be solved that gives them my contact info. Any one have any creative ideas I could try?

Lets design something creative that exactly looks like that site.

- every manager ever.

Client: We need this site up and running by the end of the month.

Me: Ok we need them to send creative over. Please provide it in Photoshop format.

.... A few days before due date.

Client: We have sent you all the creative. Please see email attachment.

...... Opens attachment. Creative was created in PowerPoint.

FML!! I CANNOT BELIEVE!!!

*starts twitching*

Front End programming is the worst of all worlds.

I am a Full Stack developer that during every interview says "i can do front end stuff if needed". Something gets lost in translation and becomes "I do only front end stuff".

I don't mind front end development, but i hate urgent nitpicking that happens every time. Everyone else on the team works by regular tasks and deliveries (sprints and release dates), but my work consists of being the brush of the creative mind of someone else, that could not figure out how to make a good design before sending it out to me.

I am not a designer, a designer job is a creative one, i am just a brush that the team uses to complain why this button looks wrong on this not designed platform.

Love PyCharm's installation 👌

Creative problem solving

People who think software development is not a creative job are wrong. It is very much similar to other creative jobs. It is logic based creativity.

Ain't it? 😛

It's a shame that Adobe doesn't support Linux for their creative suit. I know lots of artists and designers that don't use Linux regularly because of this, since Photoshop and illustrator are the de facto tools for their work. Adobe xd seems to be awesome, but I can't use on my pc due the lack of support -.-

A pay raise. It's creative enough.

In a mobile project far far away...

Dev: Now we need a ui expert to beautify the app.
Boss: we dont need him its beautiful as it is.

5 mins later....

Boss: here Is a ton of ui changes dear dev. I trust that you have creative insight to make changes that I like :)

Today i was so bored, I saw an ant in my kitchen and I placed few sugar cubes infront of her, she had some and went to tell her friends and I quickly hide the sugar cubes because I wanted them to think she is a liar.#Lolz#

Comment the moral of the story.Let's see how creative devs are!!

Since childhood I was extremely creative. At ~7 I took my family's laptop and started downloading level editors for Super Mario.
After that, I discovered a strange site to create games (similar to Scratch).
One month later the PC had too many malwares and adwares. 🤗

Lol, that's creative

!myContent

Saw this posted on one of my slack channels and made me laugh.

The feeling when you try to be creative on the first commit message but end up using 'Initial commit'...

How do you milk sheep?
Bring out a new iPhone and charge $1000 for it.

I like that with IPv6 addresses you can get creative 😆

Just a Developer thing!. You can apply for jobs through APIs.

I'm new to DevRant

Made an account just to say how much I hate lf-crlf errors. Fucking waste of time. Everytime. Feeling creative? How about spending hours on SO?

That is messed up, but creative.

That moment when coding all day makes you... Creative... Hmhm.

So I've got this raspberry pi 3 and no inspiration what to use it for.. and it bugs me, just sitting there taunting me: -"you aren't very creative are you?" So.. ideas and suggestions?

Never been more creative.

What really matters about being a developer is how you use your skills, you can know lots but you need to be creative and open-minded.

Don't use your skills for stuff like this, with great power comes great responsibility, don't abuse your powers to give people camcer

Question about the weekly rant!

Does anyone have any topics they think would work well? We're trying to come up with some creative ideas and figure out what devRanters might enjoy the most.

Any feedback is appreciated on the weekly rant feature and possible topics. Thanks!

Yet another creative 404 message...

Rant: THAT FUCKING CREATIVE AGENCY, THAT USES A FUCKING HOSTING PROVIDER, THAT DOESN'T OFFER SSH! GUESS WHO'S CURRENTLY UPLOADING 4000 FILES? BEST OF ALL EVERY 200-ISCH FILES THE CONNECTION GET'S REFUSED, TELLING, THERE ARE TO MANY REQUESTS (FileZilla is set to max 2 simultanious uploads, still the same)

FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING FUCK OF A CRAPPY DEPLOYMENT PROCESS.

I know it is 1 week too late but i dont care. Im aware that my workbench looks like shit but in reality it is a "creative mess"

@Condor Do you envy me now? I have 1054z that is hacked and has all its features unlocked! I have desoldering station and crappy (very crappy) soldering station. In addition to that i got simple sine/square generator that goes to 1Mhz (old communist poland tech - indestructible and great)

Situation with my pc is complicated. My main pc (with the curved monitor)
-i5 3350p
-12 Gb or ram (2*4Gb and another 4 that friend gave me)
-radeon 7800hd (*RIP* cant play games anymore 😥)
-256Gb sata SSD
-2Tb WD blue HDD

In addition to that i have a laptop
i5 4 cores, 8Gb ram, 1Tb HDD, GTX1050

I use my lap for gaming now, i even connected that monitor as main lap.
(double monitors yay!) sometimes i use my old pc for minor things but i use rdp for that, it is great experience! (my lap displaying rdp from my old pc on second monitor that was my old pcs main one 😂 i find it a tiny bit funny)

I'm so creative

Well, that's a badass way to have a 404 error page.

Source: Instagram

Creative dev compliments? Wow, that shows what type of person I am. I only know creative dev insults. Okay let me give it a go!

Wow, I'm gonna star that on GitHub!

Good work! I'm gonna put a shortcut to that right here on my desktop (in the same tone as "I'm gonna hang that on the fridge")

You're so meticulous that the unit tests are to make sure the computer works correctly, not your code.

If you were a web server, you'd always return 200/OK.

Your parents must have compiled you with -Ofast

Colleges aren't teaching enough practical applications of why we devs do what we do. Get students engaged with small business! Get them to think about how they apply what they learn to the real world!! We need creative new ideas from developers that think outside the damn book!

Now this is creative answer for JS keywords 😀

All these developers complaining about not being able to finish the million side projects they have and I'm sitting here wishing I was creative enough to have one.

I find driving to work is a very creative time for my brain, seem to come up with solutions to problems I’m currently trying to solve and come up with good ideas as well, take voice recordings of the ideas not to lose them.

I love to code, it scratches my creative itch

And i love to work, it drowns my productivity anxiety

But I dread every morning when i wake up to work on my current employer's project

It's that kind of combo of code base spaghetti and all over the place project management that sinks my galleys

Woe is me...

Rant: Why bother being creative?

!rant
One thing I like about DevRant is , even when a rant fails miserably, dev's will find some creative way to make it funny or useful.

That's a creative way to name a company....

I'm in search of an inspirational/creative quote not by a big name of a dead person - but by a devRant user :P
starting with:

I code because...

Wait what? Nude.js is already a thing?
Yeah great, I'm not allowed to be a creative perv anymore.
Just great.

All i need to start working:
Grunt
Chrome
Atom
Emmet
Creative Cloud
And a iMac

And you?

Anyone else annoyed that they can code a really good website (as in PSD to HTML) but just aren't creative enough to come up with a design? I find myself on Dribbble a hell of a lot of the time coding designs that others have done out of boredom, but stunned by how amazing their designs are. I'm just not creative enough.

let's try something...
Roast thread, please tag and insult your fellow devRanter in this comment section. Get creative in finding swearwords. Too many ++ bombs, poor code quality or you're just secretly in love with some other Ranter and hate it.

Is it weird that i enjoy all these rants and the dev's frustration?
it really calms me down whenever i see a long rants, creative insults, excessive swearing
because it reminds me that my situation could be lot worse, thank god I'm not in one of those situations

Windows decides to download Creative update.
I restart the computer wait for the update to finish.
I see the login screen.
I log in, then windows says:
"Hi, we have an update for you this might take a few minutes!"

What the serious fuck windows? Did you need me to login so that you can waste more of my time?

Any type of creativity what so ever. Whenever I have to design anything my mind kinda just goes blank.

Most of the sparetime I actually want to program is spend not programming because I'm not a very creative person.

Pic related, it's my webshite. Would like to make it nice, but I have very little in the department of creative talent 😭

Adding a commit message is so so hard but you can be creative with it..this is the story of "the fisherman "

Exec: I want a visually stunning and creative email
Email Developer: Say no more!

Never been to one.

I'm firmly opposed to the idea of sacrificing sleep and free time just to show everyone how awesome and creative I am.

When creative director starts sentence with: "Can we JUST..."

When your boss wants you to be more creative...

Have an idea for a fun little side project coding a game. Install Unity and read up some samples.
Remember I'm awful at any kind of creative design work.
Get sad and go back to Overwatch.

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

when you suddenly find yourself with the programming version of writers block and the creative juices and logical juices aren't flowing..

1. Building stuff is awesome!
2. It's creative work that actually makes cash
3. I like writing algos and math

If an error says that system is ok, system is ok and that's it!

I find it kind of sad how many people think coding seems boring. Personally I find it's a perfect mix of having to be logical and creative at the same time. I need both, and can't imagine doing anything else.

I love good advertisement but I hate bad products with "good" ads!

It's so difficult to find a reliable and up-to-date source for what's a good and bad game engine at the time. Every engine says it's the best. Every browser says it's the fastest. Every anti-virus app says it's the safest. God damn, come of with creative way and don't say your product is the best! *tilted*

People are so creative 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I once wrote a few really nice creative generic classes for an ASP.net project. Later, senior decided that we have to rewrite the whole thing, so he initialized a new project from a template and added my files in helpers/ as a starting point.

❤ I can be as creative as I want.
❤❤ It never gets boring.
❤❤❤ There is always something new to learn!

If point-and-click game made in PowerPoint, that my grandma actively played because of boredom, is "creative hacky solution", then there you have it.

First game is "The Adventures of Sayid", second "Hide and Seek" with creepy pasta sound and graphic assets from Shrek: Activity Center.
Well, that's my childhood without Internet, what I can say!

I know this is a fictional creative interpretation generated by an AI model, but it might just be the truest thing I've ever read 🤣🤣🤣

Do you sometimes dream about code?

These designers are getting real creative. A Body Spa.

I haven't touched a repository in a while, but my group had been committing to it for a while. I sometimes wish I could be this creative.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people criticize a programming language but uses edge cases and stuff that can be avoided by using the tried and true "don't be an idiot". Take for instance JavaScript, a language I like and a language that has a lot you can criticize. But I feel like a lot of peoples criticism isn't warranted.

What's that? No ints? Use parseInt or Math.floor.

What are you saying? == works in strange ways? Yes, that's what we have === for.

Type coercion is wonky? Think it's weird how string + int works differently than string - int? Wanna string with number + - + - - + - - etc? Don't! Don't add strings and ints, don't subtract strings and ints. You can't in statically typed languages and you aren't supposed to in dynamically typed

Adding arrays and objects, arrays and arrays, objects and objects etc. is inconsistent? Why are you trying to do that?

Adding floats together gives odd results? Now we're getting somewhere! And Mozilla responded to that with a method called toFixed.

Declaring variables with var doesn't always work that well? Use let and const

Then there's this weird attitude that some people I've met have, where they will complain about the module system and how "well you rely on the community for those packages" as if it's a bad thing. And then coming with the "well you don't know what the (open source) packages do internally" as if I (for the most part) give a shit. Then they'll swear by companies like Zend or Microsoft as if they can't just stop supporting the languages they use. Maybe it's just because I like community content more because of video game mods.

Wanna criticize JS, then there's plenty to talk about. Like the built in date object is basically shit. Or how in NodeJS you can have node_modules in your node_modules. Or how classes don't really have the best syntax. Left-Pad. And so on (it's too late for me to be able to remember much more).

Fuck you

When you are done with classic variable names and decide to get creative. F#ed up names.

You're dirtier than my submodule

My creative director is now the PM. He open thw meeting and said "There is this thing. It's good for development. It has got meeting and tools. It's called agile."

i miss being intuitive, creative, free of that need for productivity and reason and purpose. i need more of that dionysian energy in my life

Fuck.. it is hard to stick to "learn-by-doing" when you are not a creative person, and you lack the ideas to go on.
I don't feel like I am learning efficiently enough with reading books..

"The worst thing you can do to anybody trying to be creative is to demand participation in their vision. " - Chuck Klosterman

They tell you to be creative and share your thoughts but when you do, they say that you speak very much and you should not go out of the league.
You know what?
FuckOffToHell!

I like coding. I am a professional coder. But I feel I am not very good at it. My colleagues are so creative and fast with their solutions. And here I am, always in awe and never seem to feel like becoming an expert in coding. The thoughts are tiring 😪

Is it just me or does Google spend more time on trying to be creative than productive.

Creative people are so attractive

A developer said to me: developers may hurry to finish the project before deadline that they might miss many security bugs specially in the updates. That a creative hacker will later take his time and exploit them.

Is it correct ?

We are all working our asses off, but the backlog grows and grows.
Now management came up with a really creative, groundbreaking and clever idea: We should work more, so we can get shit done.

I think there may be some jobs vacant in the near future.

What people don't get about drinking and coding is this.

Coding and development is very similar to art. You've to be creative in your solutions. You've withdraw all emotions and concentrate. And you've to find your own creativity.

You have drunk artists all the time, why not drunk coders?

Hello there,

I am new here and I have Quick Question for u guys,

Q: how can one become the best programmer in the world ?

Comment in one word.

Step on a lego with wet socks.

License code under creative commons. Only sometimes though (I mainly use GPL)

So to un install Premie Pro I first need to sign in to my Adobe account, to then fucking update Creative Cloud, and then, then I can remove the garbage. Or so I hope ffs...

Looking for creative captions

GAME
The nickname of a person above your comment will be the name of your next project, tell us what it's about (be creative)

Reading JS written by “creative” types:

var myArray = []; //un-sorted values

var SortedArray = myArray.sort();

OrderedHtmlElement.innerText = myArray[0];

Look here if you are going to do it wrong at least commit to the wrongdoing!!!

A creative way to get yourself locked out from your server: having your new password manager hit an old entry port for a favicon - which gets you banned, took me a second to understand why I can't suddenly access things anymore lol

My senior keep touching my laptop screen whenever I am showing him something on my laptop and I hate it from the bottom of my heart.
What do you think is the best creative way to tell him to stop?

Ways to be creative!!!

#creative #entrepreneur #startup

Devs: Early birds or night owls?

Me: Definitelly night owl, can not wake up before 10 and sometimes working till morning. I know it is bad for health but I can not help myself. Being much more creative and productive at night.

- Over a dozen of pub projects on my gh

- the one and only that I'm excited about least [and ashamed most] gets all the stars

not sure whether everyone is actually struggling with creative x-fi usb soundcard on linux or my other projects are even shittier than that one..

So my friend told me that he recommended me to be a new Creative Engineer.
-Oh shit, sweet, what are the requirements?
-I don't really understand that kind of stuff man, just look it up, here' the link
*Hmmm*

-Html,
*ok*
-Css,
*mhmm*
-Javascript
*sure*
etc etc...
and,
Actionscript
...
Excuse me?

Who the FUCK use actionscript nowadays ???

Does anyone here have anything interesting to do? I am free now so looking for something creative to work on.

I don't care about getting any money out of it. AS long as it's interesting I'm in!

This is by far the most creative way so look for a job. It happens, when you install core-js. It prints out a job-search at the console.

Mention some supernatural powers that only Devs can master upon!

.
.
Can't think of any??
let me tell you mine's,

I can easily determine the interests and how creative my colleagues are just by looking at their desktops... 😎☺😂 Isn't it cool?

Don't you love it when you're in a full-on creative mood but the whole universe is somehow working against you doing anything productive?

Woke up in the morning with bright ideas for my app. But my PC restarted and my IDE crashed. After getting the IDE up, the project no longer builds. After spending hours to try and fix it, reinstall IDE and ............... voila............... everything works. I mean WTF?

Coding has given me a creative outlet. It's filled me with more frustration than anything else I've experienced. It's given me profound joy through successful projects. It's provided me a career which supports my family.

Coding has done a lot for my life...

1. Explain how a martian vending machine (wtf?) should look like and how it works.
2. Write a program to change the currency of the machine and price of martian D.
(other tasks irrelevant)

Congratulations for that recruiter guy for coming up with such a creative task *clap*clap*

If you don't know how to do it the proper way, just throw something together. :D
Might not be pretty, but it works... (only took about 3 hours)

Apparently, as a front end developer, I do not need a Creative Cloud license anymore. I will have to rely on the Designers to cut up all my assets.
I could barely hold a straight face while I posted this rant.

Have someone did creative code?

If [ "$answer" == "yes" ] ; then
share_experience_please
fi

Just started diving into d3.js.

I think this journey can help me retinkle my creative side.

I make so much more progress on a rainy day....must be that creative rainy mood it invokes.

"You don’t think your way to creative work. You work your way to creative thinking." - George Nelson

a contract designer came in usually one hour late with headphone on playing b-box music, who took a nap on his desk almost everyday before his contract ended. later, he took on a creative director gig in another startup

When I am creative

TIL that our creative design team that produces our web designs/layouts are all print designers. They were stumped when I gave them a wireframe mock up as the base for a website design for the first time, with no defined pixel measurements.

Adobe Creative Cloud: "Sign In Required".

I don't have Photoshop, XD, or any Adobe product open.

No "close window" button in dialog.

My choices are "Continue" or "Sign In Now".

Errrrrrrgggggghhhh...

Throw your best toilet poetry at me. I have a small one to start.
I suck, but hey, examples :P

Here i sit
Taking a shit
The cheeks of my butt i spread
I had some very nice garlic bread
My poop is floating, my poop is brown
I watch it suffer, i watch it drown

Does anyone really like JavaScript as a language?

I mean i like working with it because you can build a lot of creative and cool stuff with it, but i find the language itself to be hacky, wierd and too complex.

I love programming drunk! I can't sit still and always want to do stuff. When I'm drunk / tipsy I come up with ideas and start working on it. Most of the time in the morning, when my mind is clear, I'm not so creative and open minded as I'm drunk. Sometimes my ideas ain't that bad, but I loose interest in developing it any further. So I stop working on it.

This is a while == true loop

"The only way to be creative over time — to not be undone by our expertise — is to experiment with ignorance, to stare at things we don’t fully understand." - Jonah Lehrer

My setup. A macbook pro retina 2015. Dell 23inch monitor on a wooden monitor stand bought from Ali Express. With a Razer Goliathus extended mouse pad. Creative Sound Blaster E5 DAC headphone amp. And Bose OE headphone.

A PM who suck-up to a creative technologist. He comes up with ideas while me, the programmer, have to figure how to get it done.

PM expects me to explain how things can or cannot be done. I spent whole day drawing diagrams explaining things, while the creative technologist makes demand after demand.

For me, the worst project manager is one who doesn't take care of their people.

N The worst creative technologist, is one who won't go do their own fucking research and expect the developers to do it.

Both fuckers are management roles. Go figure..

So many ideas, dreams, creative thoughts… but no time to make them true. fml

Do you guys actually name your computers? I mean I don't call mine - but I named it - "Momo"

Or some neat ideas? :D

The best time to be creative is from 1 am to 5 am LMAO

god i hate css, html, bootsrap, anything that requires you to be creative. its mentally exhausting. and time consuming. it takes hours just to get those divs aligned and responsive wtf

"The sudden hunch, the creative leap of mind that 'sees' in a flash how to solve a problem in a simple way, is something quite different from general intelligence." - Martin Gardner

"The creative person basically has two kinds of jobs: One is the sexy, creative kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills. Sometimes the task at hand covers both bases, but not often." - Derek Sivers

Come on guys, I want to gather deadly One-Liner for Linuxsystems. Maybe someone has some more creative ways than the standard ones below.

1. rm -rf / —no-preserves-root
2. echo . > /dev/sda
(3). :(){ :|: & };:
4. mv / /dev/null

I wish I could design actually good looking websites. It's not about css, my problem is that I just can't imagine what I would want it to look like. My brain do be very not creative.

Programmers with design skills?

Design comes with creativity which I lack the most. Should we learn to design and be creative?

When the logical way doesn't work, I have to get creative.

It's a tie between HP Loadrunner, which is literally older than I am and behaves like it hasn't been updated since release, and ServiceNow, which is just so.. limited and forces you to think real fucking creative to get anything useful done, for me. Working in either is absolutely painful 😖

Do not give "creative" freedom to your developers. They'll churn out Picasso-style masterpieces that nobody would ever understand or dare to touch.

I need some ideas here.. What creative can be done if I have the markings of nose eyes mouth and jaw in a video dynamically.. Just like snapchat does( share all the ideas please, Platform used is not of concern)... See the image...
P. S.. This is my handsome friend here😛

Does any developer here does design work as well as code. I got pulled into it. was expecting a only dev job, according to the job description" but the creative team start handing me InDesign task and Photoshop task with no experience in design. is that crazy or normal for front end developers?

Is anyone microdosing psilocybin mushrooms to increase creativity and productivity?

If I was to talk about software, the act of coding is probably the most boring part. But birthing a program can pull from magic, animation, circus, gardening, parenting, woodwork, and a host of arts, trades, and crafts. It is a wonderful creative task that is being sold short by brilliant jerks, one trick fools, and con men.

- Linux (OS)
- VSCodium (General Coding)
- Godot (Game Dev)
- Krita (Digital art and edits)
- Blender (3D Art)
- LibreOffice (Docs)
- LMMS (Music/Audio)

I'm trying to find OpenSource alternatives to anything creative I do.

Dfox should make a script to pull all the creative curses from devrant and publish a list of them.

Like search for every standard curse (fuck, shit, cunt, etc) and then print them out with the five or so words before and after it to hopefully capture most of the longer creative swears.

This seems more creative, like true AI, than predictive or noise reducing like I’m told ChatGPT and current AI is. Help me out?

iOS considers using gallery as creative work, lol 😃

Everytime I find a new open repository, it is really humbling that there are so many projects with creative solution to problems.

Ideal job: to be able to work on creative projects of my choosing with a majority say in how the final products should turn out and without deadlines or inane requirements and to be paid to do that and other people appreciate those creations and I enjoy the whole process... sigh. not there yet.

Sounds stupid but my own creative agency.

For months had a static clicking very faint noise on my creative speakers. Googled every issue with my x-fi titanium, swapped pcie around, changed cables you name it. In the end I blamed "dying" speakers amp as they have 10 years now only to realize a minute ago it was interference from the fecking cell phone's 4g...

Me: "We seriously have an issue with staff engagement and motivation. Programmers must be given more challenges, they need to be creative, to innovate...

Boss: "Sure, but we can only do the fun things if it does not impede the Business As Usual."

"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done." - Davey Coleman

Ideally, there would be 3 engineers and 2 sales people. The engineers would pair with the sales folks on calls to figure out what customers need and hire designers to design just want needs to be built. Everyone would be responsible, not over commit, not oversell, and figure out creative ways to make the company money and achieve technological superiority.

Hey everyone.. I am a Graphic and Web Designer plus developer and I am going to create brand identity for myself but I am looking for something creative and good names. I like something like GraphicOwl or GeekyOwl.. Also suggest a slogan or tagline.

our clients are basically asking us to decide for them the requirements and that's simply absurd? they're supposed to tell us what the hell they want. if we actually take creative liberties, i bet it'd take a day for them to ask for a do over

let's create a site of Creative-Commons-licensed meme templates. Who around here can host some stuff?

Aaarrgghh! Stupidity of some webdevelopers! Ordering new battery on e-shop and got in my mail devilery report from one freemail service. Checking what kind of spam it is and those lazy bastards are taking my full order and sending it with my e-mail addresses in From to their freemail account. Which correctly rejects it based on SPF as the freemail suprisingly does its job well. Who the hell thought this would be a good idea? Grrrr!

Too lazy for posting a creative rant.
Just raise me on 2000++ ...

I like to say programming is the art of "creative logic". Much like architecture has an aesthetic to consider or cooking has well-defined procedures with greatly varying inputs and outputs, there has to be room for creativity, be it at the planning stage or during wild improvisation sessions.

Without that creative aspect, software development sounds dreary to me.

Where science meets art is where the magic happens.

If only the artists shared this view and actually took an interest in the technical side...

1. I like making stuff that I can use again and again later.
2. I can't draw for shit, so it's a way to be creative.
3. Automating/scripting things is a general passion.

This week was probably the most creative, focused, and productive one I've had all year. Feels good.

3-day weekend, here I come!

You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It's logic-based creativity.”

What do you think how much time will it take to crack Creative Cloud 2019?
I bet 2 weeks from now.

"Every practice has a set of rules which governs it. Mastery occurs with the realization of these rules. Innovation occurs at the point of intelligent and creative rebellion against them." - Fiel Valdez

So I found a variable in some leagcy code with the name "abcdefghij".

I mean wtf, I could've understood qwerty or something, but, abcdefghij, real creative...😤

Any summer project ideas to step-up my programming skills? I'm bored but also not very creative when it comes to projects.

Any developers here working in a creative agency using Unity/Game dev skillsets? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

What you guys think, if there is new software to be made what it should be or what field it should address?

Feel free to add rough ideas also.

I've always been creative; drawing, instruments, building stuff... Programming was just another way to express myself.

Anything from the adobe creative cloud. The background updates are usually at the worst times

Scrolling through some of "wk15" posts

and

wondering how curious and creative we developers get whenever we get an "opportunity" to showcase our working desk!

Making sure you can't be fired 101:

The docs for your code should closely resemble that creative writing assignment you turned in a week late in college.

"Don’t you miss doing creative stuff, as an engineer? Don’t you miss the creativity of the art world? You can say: I’m working on an infinite canvas capable of any size and shape, that’s already glowing every color possible into the eyes of just about everyone on the planet. And I get to decide the kind of experience, feeling, and emotion they are going to have. How is that not creative?" - Natalya Shelburne

So I got an assignment for literature class to make and present some sort of creative project about transcendentalism. Time suggestion: 2-3 hours of work. 10 hours later, I have a videogame with 0 polish that I can convice the professor is about transcendentalism. I regret nothing.

As a software developer, are your limits only to clear out the requirements and do the work, even if it does not make any sense.

I am a creative person, there are some CX changes and I want to suggest some ideas. But is it not my place to do that?
Am I forever stuck on the requirements and development part?

I was thinking about how youtube stands as the most used platform for videos, however the more creative/professional oriented platform Vimeo could still establish itself few years later. Same for Facebook and LinkedIn for instance.
So I was wondering how much new ideas could come out following the same reasoning. Any ideas?

Creative dev insult:
Fucking dev

Hi guys I finally choose one sticker, I take him cause he looks creative. :D hope you enjoy i will contact other society to get stickers now.

1. Solving problems gives me orgasms
2. Code allows me to be extremely creative
3. I love logic (and maths too, but to a lesser degree)

"Curiosity about life in all of its aspects, I think, is still the secret of great creative people." - Leo Burnett

"I have thought about the nature of this creative process and have reached a somewhat aberrant conclusion. I don’t understand it and I don’t think anyone else does either." - William Beck

Not really a rant, but an observation. As programmers we get to create realities for computers through programs. There are some fundamentals, like IO, memory, disk...but the creative power is enormous.
