Hello darkness, my old friend... devRant dark theme coming soon

Hello darkness ... my old friend

When learning a new language replace "Hello world" with "Hello darkness my old friend". Sounds more appropriate.

Hello darkness my old friend

Jim comes in and tells me that server RENEGADE-DB1 has no more space left and that he tried to remove a few ridiculous sized log files, but that the system wouldn't allow him. So he used some 3rd party tool to shutdown the processes that used those log files and then succesfully removed them.

Now the database is not working and Jim needs my help.

Hello darkness my old friend.

Hello darkness my old friend..

My work PC just got 'upgraded' to windows 10. Fantastic.

Hello darkness, my old friend.

My GPU might be dying and I’m hoping that’s not the case.

Friends cause more problems than they solve. At least for me.

I'm currently not feeling well at all right now, anxiety and depression. I've never really experienced this before and let me tell you, if you're a person with problems like this regularly, I'm so sorry.

My definition of hell?
Being forced to debug nested callbacks abusing global variables & closures generated from from reflection...

*PTSD kicks in* Hello darkness, my old friend... :')

At least after 5 years, this time it took me only few seconds, to locate the source of the problem, and fix it.

PS: fuck you javascript... STILL. FUCK. YOU!!!

So I work at this company that is constantly making events and conferences to ease the coexistence between the developers on different projects, the thing is, I don't really care about it, I'd just be happy if I was left alone with my laptop to code all day.

Any thoughts?

Hello Darkness, my old friend, I finally moved to dark side xD. Paying a little didn't even hurt, though I got some stickers from Unixstickers, thanks to someone in comment on a random rant here.
P. S. - No, I haven't used them all yet, I just put them together for a group photo and no, arch is not like that.

If I have to use this much unmanaged memory, why am I rewriting this in C#.

Uuugh the 3rd of January first working day in my country, I am dreading 2018 already with the backlog of issues I decided not to fix in 2017 as if they'd magically disappear. Hello darkness my old friend...

"Hello darkness my old friend."

Switched to dark theme.
Liking it already 😃

I just stepped into windows “light” colour scheme for a minute. I am never doing that again

What have you seen dear traveller? What have you seen?

Hello darkness my old friend...

My first internship.
The webdev department for a engineering company is in the basement. I was given a cubicle near the middle by the wall. The ceiling light was broken so I had to work in the dark... It was a 7-4 with no pay nor do they cover any expenses. I did manage to use the experience and got a job offer at a 'proper' software company in the end.

That moment when you neglect to study a DP problem you saw because you thought it was too hard.

But it shows up during your super important interview and you have no idea how to do it.

Hello, darkness my old friend.

Me: *updates ram to 16 gigs
Me: How do you feel about that chrome?
Chrome: Hold my beer ...

Also, anyone face any issues with laggy vs code and hyper?

Me: Writing js using vi
Also me: Hello darkness my old friend...

Am I the only one who want to learn programming and can't stop overreading about it and other connected stuff?
I feel I'm in deep darkness with my learning. I'm still writing those sample codes from books/video courses and can't motivate myself to come up with a piece of software to write myself.
It's some kind of loop which I can't break and move on.
I quit my electrical engineering studies after two years, to start IT studies, because I felt IT stuff is something I want to do rest of my life. Now, after first semester, I feel I'm in the same place I was before starting IT studies...
I'm lost devRant... Any ideas for helping me changing my life?

!rant && silly

Well so I was thinking of ways to proposing to my non existent geek gf, so far I thought of

Would you do pair life programming with me?

How would you do it?

Hello darkness my old friend...

*me trying to fix the preview issue by editing layout file*
*issue gets fixed by clean build*
*me implementing a new feature as per plan*
*suddenly another issue occurs with the items in recycler view*
*tries SO, no related question and me too scared to ask one*
