This happened just a few meters of me.

IT Guy: What happened sir?
IT Manager: WTF does the variable a4g646g54a6g54a65g654ag546a654g56a?

~awkward silence~

Still curious.

Yo dfox and trogus how are you doing? What's happening around devRant? Any new ideas, changes or troubles? Anything we can help you? How's the situation with the server costs? 🙂

congratulations and thank you for more than 2 years of devrant! 🎉

Seen as most devs listen to music while programming, I'm curious what music you listen to? Playlist are welcome too!

So how many lockpickers are here on devRant? Simply curious cause I am as well. As you can see.

What the duck is that!

Who else is not able to do anything on the Computer if someone curious watches you 👀😫

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. 🤗

If I put my girlfriend on my lap, does it make her a laptop?

Have you guys ever developed a software/app/website just for the fun of it? 🤔

Hey fellow developers
How did you all come to know about DevRant? Just curious

Well I got to know about while stalking my potential bf social media 😅😝

I'm curious to know how popular DevRant actually is, like how many total users there are, how many rants there are in total, how many users visit the app/site on a daily basis, any chance on this info dfox?

Hey, I had a question. How social are you all IRL?

I'll explain myself. IRL, I don't talk to anyone unless they talk to me (which I don't seek) for example. And regarding friends, I've never had more than one "buddy" each school year, unconsciously dropping them once we weren't linked by school anymore. There is only two people I have kept throughout the years and that I'd call friends, one of them is my girlfriend.

That being said, I know I'm especially asocial, but I'm curious how everyone is here :)
We often hear "Computer people don't have many friends blabla" but I'm curious about that ^^

Just noticed that the Firefox mobile browser plays YouTube video in the background.

Pretty impressed.
It's well documented and funny.

It is time to hide all the Easter eggs in your apps!

I wonder what easter egg will be in the devRant app🤔

I wonder how a bug report on devRant may look like.
Something like a bug report and a fix on the same email?

Just curious... what was the first programming language you learned?

Mine was Java.

How old were you when you started programming?

I'm curious about that... I want to introduce childs to programming but I'm not sure which age is the correct one to begin.

Did anyone else find Javascript fun and easy to learn?
Or am I doing something wrong?

Just curious.

Just in case someone is curious how StackOverflow moderation looks like.

Machine learning with punch cards..

What would that be like?

Sorry, just a newbie here. But I would like to ask why do a lot of people hate Microsoft?

Has anyone written any Easter eggs in actual production code? 🤔

!rant
This is a nice community and this app is a great too. No ads or promotions are also there. So how does app manage financially ,i know there is a swag store but is that enough .As community gets larger, more resources are needed to keep everyone happy ryt ? more servers etc..
Will there be a different model when this expands ?

Who here programs when they're not at work? If you do, do you have your own side projects or games? I'm just curious 😁

I only see rants here about people who post to StackOverflow. I use it a lot but all questions i wanted to know were usually answered so I just had to search for them. I never posted something there and don't even have an account. Anyone else doing the same thing?

So if you guys had a variable with an "ID" in it, would you write it like this:

"var userId;"

or like this:

"var userID;"

?
Just curious.

Curious. Who uses .jpeg instead of .jpg and is that because your software is defaulted that way. It just bugs me.

@dfox @trogus Hi, I was just wondering how to find the privacy policy? If I am missing it, sorry!

My question is about who owns the rants. It doesn't matter either way, I am just curious.

Curious about you devRanters' backgrounds.

I'm 28. Scala Pure FP. Formally Java OOP.

Long story short a guy texted me on Xing, he had an interesting idea, I joined in and now we are founding a startup.

Short story long, a guy texted me on Xing. I usually don't give a fuck because there always just fucktards that want to offer me modern enslavement. No thanks you lifeless greedy hamsters! (no offense) This time was different though. It was not the usual kind of words and the idea sounded pretty awesome. So I gave it a try.

We met in a Café and talked about the idea and about my role in it. It went pretty well and we basically had a nice little chat, coffee and cake.

I was still not convinced. It sounded to good to be true. Why would something like this ever happen to me? You know that kind of feeling. It was like "Hopefully I'm not selling my soul to the devil now."

We now work on the project, already have 5 customers and are a step before the first financial investment. I'm pretty amazed how that turned out!

Now to disappoint you a bit more (or maybe to give you hope?) All I've worked so far (except that one little one-year internship) happend by, me talking to someone that had a job, me being honest about what I want and me rejecting anything that runed my guts inside out. That's it. I never really applied for something. I just get to know the people and with that comes the opportunity. Just be respectful, curious and honest. The others will notice. Chances rise that you'll find something you love todo.

I'm curious: which do you like better? Atom or VS Code?

While checking out CPU usage on my android a weird process called dex2oat popped up. Curious about it. I did some research. This is what I found.

Absolutely fascinating stuff

I'm curious, is the majority of the devRant community from the UK, US .. or elsewhere?

!Rant

I hope that my daughter takes an interest in STEM stuff. I’m going to introduce it early on for her. (She’s only 9 months old right now) but I’m admittedly nervous that she won’t have a hyper curious nature as she grows up. I was always super curious about learning about how things work, even though my parents never gave two thoughts about it. I don’t think that being curious and wanting to explore the inter-workings of stuff is learned so I’m just hoping she is a curious little-shit like I was as a kid hahaha.

So, I've posted a question on StackOverflow. I was curious about better (in terms of performance and cleaner code) ways to solve a problem. And a fckn dickhead added a comment like this: Why worry about performance?

Curious. What's your definition of a full stack developer?

Is it just about knowing all necessary languages? Does it also include various business oriented soft-skills? What about handling server and stuffs?

It is a new term I have been seeing a lot lately (especially after 2016, if I'm not wrong). Of course, I could google and look for the answers but I prefer to know devrant community edition 😀

At what time of the day do you usually post on devRant? I'm just curious

Have you ever left a bug in production hoping that nobody notices it?

Curious to know if @dfox and @trogus are open to having an AMA? :?

Dear fellow devs who use Notepad++ as their primary code editor,

Why? I’m curious why you prefer it instead of Sublime Text, VSCode, or Atom? I’m not saying it’s better or worse than other programs, I’m just curious. I’ve tried to use it recently (although it was my first code editor I’ve ever used) and it really felt bulky to me.

Sincerely, Athlon.

Hi guys, I have a serious question for everyone. I spend more time than I'd like having to either fix, update or change already running legacy sites/apps and because I didn't make or design them it can be difficult to say the least.

As they're already running, I can't take them offline to make any changes. What is the best way of making sure that every change goes properly, displays well and works immediately?

Do you guys listen to lo-fi when programming? I love it. If you don't what do you listen to? (I'm just curious)

Curious what you guys think about the creator of Node.js saying that he does not think Node is the best tool for servers and that Go is a much better option.

For me at least, I think it is great that people like him become aware of the shortcommings of the technology they devised, but wonder if it is such a good move to say such things (even tho apparently he is not the head of the Node.js project anymore)

I have always been fascinated by Node and the whole JS ecosystem. I think it did wonders for JS developers and it pushed the whole JS experience to a whole new level, but I am also aware of the shortcommings of it just as I am of the other environments that I use.

So, what do you guys think about his statements? Would you consider investing time in Go as a Node developer? Do you think that it will be possible to do a switch or would you rather stay in and advance the state ot Node development?

My brother wanted me to post:
