You're a bit too junior we need someone with a bit more experience.

Job was listed as junior/apprentice dev.

If you hunt for a dev job watch this

Manager: You really shouldn’t be doing that

Dev: It’s in my job description

Manager: Yeah but you still shouldn’t be doing it.

Dev: Who should I hand it off to?

Manager: We don’t have anyone else to hand off that task to.

Dev: Ok, do I stop doing it?

Manager: 😡 Of course not, it needs to get done! I’m just saying you shouldn’t do it.

Dev: ???????????

Was looking at a Back End Dev job posting and one of the requirements is Photoshop.

Every dev job I see:

You need a billion years of experience, and must be able to fistfight Sauron

*my first day on the job to work on a website used by dozens of companies worldwide and 1000s of users*

me: So where can I find the git repository?
dev: Git?
me: Uh... what kind of source control do you use?
dev: We don't use anything fancy like that.
me: *freaking out a little, I already committed to this job*
me: So then where do you edit your code and how do you back it up?
dev: Oh, I just edit it on FTP and zip all the code every week.

GUYS I GOT MY FIRST JOB, I'M SO FUCKING PROUD OF MYSELF (not a dev job, but I'm still in high school so anything's good enough for me)

Just landed my first dev job.

I CAN'T WAIT TO RANT ABOUT MY EMPLOYER!

It seem uncommen because of all the 'hate my job rants' but

I love my current dev job and that makes it for me ideal 😄

I got today my first job as a junior dev🎉

After 1 year I have finally quit my sysadmin job!

Got my first dev job as a fullstack node.js dev!!!!

4 years of IT boredom is finally over!

WOOHOOO!
😎😁

Hey yo guys, Legion here dropping you some lit tips for yo dev job interviews

First job as a dev, after years of tutorials and side projects

Why did I choose to be a web dev?

I didn't. That's the first job I found, and I didn't wanna starve

Oh btw
Wife got her first dev-job

Riskiest Dev choice...

Leaving a previous job, moving 1000KM (620 Miles) away with no job prospects and going absolutely broke.

This was all in the name of “I need a better job”, so what better way to force yourself to get one.

I’m currently in my second job since then and now make just over double what I was earning before.

Sometimes it takes a high risk to get out ahead.

I quit my job today.
It was odd and uncomfortable and emotional and I'm gonna miss many of the nice people here but ultimately my boss was like "I always knew a bright mind like yours would only be here temporarily" 🥺😍 I'm starting somewhere cooler soon and I'm so excited!

dev A: is everything operative?
dev B: yeah, sure
dev A: how do you know?
dev B: log service doesn't show anything wrong
dev A: does the log service work?
dev B: why shouldn't it? It's its job
dev A: *sips tea*

Had a 3 day interview. Got a callback few days later. On my way to my first job!

Quit my first dev job. Don’t have another gig lined up. Here’s hoping I find another gig before I run out of savings.

Wish me luck, folks.

I never thought I'd code C#, but it turns out that I just got a dev job doing it 😂

Finally have my first dev job!! Starting tomorrow!! 😃😃

!rant

I'll start my new job as a Unity dev tomorrow! 🎉
Wish me luck ;)

!rant

Got my first dev job!

I think I've learned more in the first month of my first proper dev job than over my past 4 years in college

!rant

I got hired!!

It's been a long month of jobhunting, interviews, and paperwork, but I finally got a job. Real world dev life here I come.

Alright I lost my job,

now is time to shave

My first Dev job involved password resets. Quickly created a GUI for that shit and passed it off to IT support.

Talent Acquisition/HR: 🤪

Dev: 🤪

Technical Interviewer: 🧐

Dev: 🧐

Hiring Manager: 🤡

Dev: 🤡

This strategy has yielded some dishearteningly successful job application results this week.

Alternative job if I weren‘t a dev?

Politician creating new dev jobs by passing annoying new data privacy laws each year.

* Got my first job as php dev
* Two weeks later I'm writing Angular app

If you are in a job interview with the dev manager of java and the other dev manager of C++ and a fundamental discussion starts:

Got my first job interview in 2 hours. Help a junior dev out.

I got the job! prepare to call me junior dev 😁

I don't understand, it's the third time I'm being refused for a job because they want someone with more experience. Then why are you looking for junior developer ?!

actually I still work in my first dev job :)
(its been 8 years now)

I'm afraid to post anything connected with my job because I know that sooner or later every dev will have account on devRant

Got hired as a fullstack dev last august (first dev job). This was a 1 year contract. Was offered permanent employment today and I can't stop grinning :D

Told a colleague at my distribution center job about devRant (web dev).

Let's see if he joins 😄

Get my first job as a dev.

!rant ~dev
Just got my first job in software. Over the moon.

Just got made redundant 😒

Anyone need a web dev in Melbourne?
I have desirable skills such as working myself out of a job..

I wonder if I can code at all and get things done one time without stackoverflow.

Hello guys, here is my first rant about my job. So, I work in marketing, mostly content and SEO as the main job and my 2nd job is a somewhat-somehow webgrafic design-something (blame my fiancee for this). This one is about my content job.

As a content, my main role is to translate information (health tech, tech or anything) in a somewhat comprehensive way so about anybody can read my articles. And boy, I love my job, the research part, the writing part, almost everything. But on some days I have to find a way to explain protozoa to normal people. Aaaaaand today I have to explain this shit!

Now, how the f*ck I will manage this, I have no darn clue but I am starting to learn how my dev fiancee feels when he has to explain some complicated stuff to his clients, I swear!

I got my first dev job!

First day in first dev job today, so excited!

Starting my first front end dev job in 3 weeks AAHHHHH!!

The imposter syndrome is real.

I have now an interview for a part time job as dev-allrounder beside my CS-studies.

I hope I get that job.. 🙏🏼

On my way to my first paid dev job :sunglasses:

Did I ever tell you kids about the time I worked for a company that got a contract to develop an iOS application around some object detection software that had been developed by another team?

Company I was working for was a tiny software consultancy, and this was my first ever dev job (I’m at my second now 😅). Nobody at the company has experience building mobile applications but CEO decides that the app should be written in React Native because _he_ knows React Native.

During a meeting with the client, CEO jokes about how easy the ask is and says he could finish it in a weekend. Please note that Head of Engineering had already budgeted a quarter for the work. CEO says we can do it in a week! And moves up the deadline. And only assigns two engineers to project. I am not one of those engineers.

The two engineers that are put on it struggle. A lot. They can’t seem to get the object detection to work at all, and the code that’s already written is in Objective-C. I realize one of the issues is that the engineers on the project can’t read Objective-C because they have no experience with Objective-C or even C. I have experience with C, so I volunteer to take a look at it to try to see what’s going on.

Turns out the problem is that the models are trained on one type of image format and the iPhone camera takes images in a different format.

The end of the week comes, they do not succeed in figuring out the image conversion in React Native. There’s an in-person demo with the customers scheduled for the next Monday. CEO spends the weekend trying to build the app. Only succeeds in locking literally every other engineer out of the project.

They manage to negotiate a second chance where we deliver what we were supposed to deliver at the original schedule.

I spent the weekend looking up how to convert images and figure it would be a lot easier to interface with the Objective-C if we used Swift. Taught myself enough Swift over the weekend to feel dangerous. Spoke to Head of Engineering on Monday and proposed solution — start over in Swift. Volunteer to lead effort. Eventually convince them it’s a good idea (and really, what’s the worst that can happen? If this solves our main problem at the moment, that’s still more progress than the original team made)

Spend the next week working 16 hour days building out application. Meet requirements for next deadline. Save contract.

And that’s ONE of the stories of my first dev job that got me hired as a senior engineer despite only having 10 months of work experience in the industry.

Well for starter an actual dev job could be nice

Quited my job because I want to code and not project managing (instead of coding). Found a new job as front-end developer with opportunity to become a full stack dev.

I can't figure out shit..
To be honest I created this profile just so I can write down somewhere what I am going through.
So, once upon a time I had graduated from college and went right into a corporate (has only been 2 years since). I was fortunate enough that I got assigned a project that was just starting, and even though I had no clue what was going on, I started doing whatever was assigned.
I initially worked in java and then finished all my tasks earlier than expected, so they switched me to another C++ project that builds on top of it.
Fast forward 2.5 years, I'm now the team lead of the CPP project and all my friends who were in the core team have left the company.
As usual, the reason behind it is shitty management. These mfs won't hire competent people and WILL ABSOLUTELY NOT retain the ones that are. I can feel it in my bones that it is time for me to leave, but fuck me if I understand what I am good at.
I have been able to handle all the tasks that they threw at me, be it java or c++ - just because I love logic and algorithms. I have been dabbling in ML and AI since 4-5 years now, but could never go into it full time.
Now I'm looking at the job postings and Jesus Christ these bitches do not understand what they want. I have to be expert in 34567389 technologies, mastering each of whom (by mastering I mean become proficient in) would need at least 6-8 months if not more, all with 82146867+ years of experience in them.
I don't know if I am supposed to learn on Java (so spring boot and stuff) or I'm supposed to do c++ or I'm gonna go with Python or should I learn web dev or database management or what.
I like all of these things, and would likely enjoy working in each of these, but for fucks sake my cv doesn't show this and most of the bitch ass recruiter portals keep putting my cv in the bin.
Yeah...
If you have read so far, here's a picture of a cat and a dog.

A dev I know has changed his LinkedIn job title to “software extraordinaire”

... and he’s hopeless so it’s not even true

So, I'm a CS student in a third world country. I love coding and I think i'm pretty good at it.

As I'm kind of poor, I'm pretty much constantly looking for any job I can take, and I've already done a dev gig at a software sweatshop here doing mostly PHP, JS and Android/Java... the dev experience was cool, but money was absolute crap ($1.5USD/hour at the current rate, working 9h/day Mon-Sat, did it while in vacation). Better than min wage in my country but still, looking at the numbers I see from programmers all over the world... it was practically working for free. The real problem is almost every dev job here is similar, so I was looking into going remote but every opportunity I see is for seniors/people with 2-3 years experience or more.

Can you give me some tips on getting a remote job as a student/recent grad with little experience? What would you do in my position? Any input is greatly appreciated!

My ideal dev job would be one where I don't get chewed out for using vim.

Worst hypothetical dev job:

Hand refactoring tabs with spaces.

Get my first dev job.

So I have been offered my first dev job! Excited and terrified at the same time. 🙃

Ideal Dev job would just be having a job first!!! :p

I'm exhausted.
After one and a half year after my last rant, I'm here again. I left the previous job as web developer after almost 12y. At the time I found 3 new jobs as developer; I chose the one with the largest company, the premises were really good. My 3 interviews were excellent. But what I found next was almost a nightmare.
I was literally "confined" for the first 2 months, no internet connection, no email address, very little communication with colleagues. My near colleague was sharing the code were I would work via a usb key. All this for "safety" purposes, because "here you start this way".
For me it was not so bad, I could take my time to study my work and do it (without Stack Overflow and only by reference guides, when needed - I felt proud in an old way). But the next months were really tough: no help to understand what I missed about the work I was doing (consider that I was working on a large database, previously used by an old ERP, on which other developers - prior me - wrote a lot of code, to make the company continue use all the data after the expiration of the ERP licences - speaking about a year 2000's Java application).
Now I find myself struggling, because the main project on which I was working has been set aside (apparently for some budget decisions); my work team constantly make me do some manteinance on the old code, but the main tasks are done by the old mate, "because deadlines are always pressing and there would not be enough time to explain you anything". I'm not growing.
I'm really becoming reluctant to write code, and whenever I do it, I constantly feel under pressure, and this makes me nervous and inclined to make errors.
Don't take me wrong, I was/am good at my work, but it's like I'm loosing that sparkle I had till a few years ago.
When I'm at home I try to study or write code, just to keep training my mind, but I'm really struggling and I'm worried about losing my brain for doing this job. I constantly forget things and lose focus.
Never felt this way. I am thinking about the chance to switch again and search for another company.

Front-end dev makes site look nice: "that looks great! Nice job"

Back-end dev makes site do everything useful: "right, that's how it's supposed to work"

Been short listed for a dev job... proper freaking out as if I get it, it will be my first front end job in the industry 😩

!rant

How easy is to get fired from a Dev job? 😛 I'm afraid of that happening every time I introduce a bug lol

First week of my first dev job.
Everything is awesome. No rants.

- Why should we give the job to you?
- Because, according to LinkedIn, you are searching for a JS dev for 11 months at least...
(I got the job :))

When u put job recruiting ads on web dev tool lol

Someone here on devrant that used to go under the name LetMeCode ranted about php and said how much they'd rather work with the Phoenixframework.

Love on first sight. Studied Elixir to get a job as an elixir dev and got my first and current job right after graduating high school.

So yeah, that rant might have changed my life. Saved me from becoming a java or php dev for sure!

At my first ever Dev job interview. Dis gon be guud 😂

Just applied to a job with Microsoft with no professional dev history at all... I consider it a Turing test..

I'm a bit tired of dev and applying for a customer support job for half my current income. During interview I already got promoted to technical support. Even dev job was possible, but I'm done. I've seen the wheel reinvented too much. Also, the looks of software became more important than ever and that's not something I do.

But I'm very positive now. I know the company already, they're great! Super culture! Always hired the right people and me once before as a py dev

Graduated with my B.S in CS on the 6th and started my new job as a Java dev on the 16th :D

This is my current dev/personal desktop, im not humble, im just poor! I just need to finish my studies so I can get a job!

'bout to have a job interview for a summer job as software dev. :)

Fixed my first bug today at my new dev job :) starting to feel useful

I JUST GOT MY FIRST ANDROID DEV JOB!!! HOLY LIFE

a JUINOR dev role job posting requires 7+ years of experience including 3 years of SENIOR experience, I feel like im in a movie...

First dev job and I've made it to lunch time, better than I'd convince myself I would do.

Studying in my shitty non-dev job...hoping for get a dev job soon... very nice book 👌

I guess I've just got the ideal dev job. Working from home, with nice people in my team and enough time to deliver quality work.

Anyone else experiencing moments like 'you sit behind a computer all day, how hard can your job be?' or is it just me?? 🤔
I'm getting tired of this shit... Especially when it's comming from a person who relies ob tonns of apps to do their goddamn job.. :/
I'd get it if it was comming from a farmer who actually has to work hard to produce the food for us.. or any of the blue collars..but from white collars?!? Dafuck?! Yeah, I may not be the person writing the code for your precious little apps, but they're written by people just like me, who sit behind a computer all day & code.. :/
Show some respect ya cunts!!

Finally got a dev job!! excited for what's coming, but slightly scared for the clients. Hahaha

I am that person who'll try to do everything (web dev, games, apps etc) in one programming language coz I'm too lazy to learn another language. Maybe it's because I've never had a real dev job before.

Senior dev at job interview didnt know what is binary search. I was interviewed by him.

I get the mobile app dev job and they let me use Flutter to build apps

1. Master react
2. Finish my grad thesis
3. Get a react dev job

p.s. Not necessarily in that order.

Was hired as an intern, paid me the minimum wage, had to independently handle 3 large scale projects. Got to learn A LOT but was not paid enough.

so I am about to take a full time job for less than 150 dollars a month, with all my skillset being put to use, I'm supposed to teach arduino and web development and be at work at least three times a week including Saturday.

I just want to die, probably

dead people dont stress

New job starts june 19!
Then Iceland the week after that 😍
One week to dev around and upgrade my website abit 😁

Finally moving to new job. From monolith PHP dev, to nodejs.

External Dev. Job aplication website - please attach resume. CLICK. Unknown document format: (your format .pdf, acceptable format .PDF). 🤔

I am back to dev rant after longgggggg time....😍

Brain: Imagine if human live for 500 years.

Me: It'd be so awesome...

Job requirement: 100 year of JavaScript experience for junior dev.

Going to have my first ever dev job interview next week! Nervous AF right now.

Any tip's? 😬

My first Dev job only lasted 2 weeks. That's about it.

Dev friend: Happy in your job?
- Me: Kinda, don't see myself doing it for another 35 years tho.. :(
Dev friend: Go back to school, learn computer sciences and get a dev job. You'll love it.

So now I'm back in school, no regrets whatsoever. Without a doubt best advice.. :)

Not being motivated enough to work on or finish personal projects.

Apparently, easier said, than done when you have a full-time Dev job.

Probably gonna quit dev and get a job outdoors. Dev sucks dick, is too boring, and it is too political for me

!rant
God I love my job and being a dev

bf is starting his first job as a dev and asked me how to prepare. i had no clue what to tell him lol. any suggestions?

Got my first dev job interview soon and the company want to take me out for dinner, is this normal practice?

What do you do when you loose your Frontend Dev Job?
a) Get a new Job.
b) Invent a JS Framework

Android dev job question:

"Describe the activity lifecycle and write an application that does x,y,z in accordance with it"

Fullstack dev job question:

"Write some code that interacts with our API and does x,y,z, put the data into our database and build a web interface"

Java backend dev interview :
"BUILD AN ELEVATOR ALGORITHM WITH LESS THAN o(nlog(n)), FIND NEIGHBORS IN A BINARY TREE, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INTERFACE AND ABSTRACT CLASS?"

Why?

Me: I should stop job hopping.
Me: oh wow they are looking for an android dev
Me: ...fuck

Was hired as a mobile dev / mobile web dev, was told my main project would be integrating a tool with phonegap.

... 13 months later I was never asked to download phonegap and was now writing server side java. Surprisingly I left that job

4 roles in 1 job... is being a dev getting to an era of slavery?

So pumped!! I just signed for my apartment for my first dev job starting this summer!

Started my new job as a devops engineer, its been al month and i have never seen the seen of aws console or travis ci, dont even have credentials for any company cloud services.

I guess i should change my job title to backend dev

My first dev job is like attending college. I just study php and Codeigniter for 6 months. Low pay but I learned a lot.

Never had the situation to give advice to a new dev. But I have an idea anyways: Give that dev a problem, which is above beginner level and watch the dev. If the dev rage quits and doesn't want to try again, then the new dev will not be happy with the job. But if the dev achieves to collect all knowledge to handle the problem, even if the solution is not the most elegant way, then the dev will have fun with the profession.

When you lose your job as dev at 31

Do well in my first job as a dev. Very excited. 😜😜

So... got a job interview next week as a front-end dev.
Imposter syndrome is going into overdrive.
Never had an actual interview since i got my job through contacts.
Any tips?

suddenly remember have to pay rent. but it's holiday.
is there any job hunt site that pays $200 for 2 days web dev work? 😂

Best: I got my first job as Android dev

Worst: Long commute everyday (2.5 hours from home to work)

When you are reading job requirements for a dev job and they put a shit ton emphasis on MS Office. I remember a phone interview where they asked skill level for Word, Excel and Outlook.

Being in an IT job because I'm too junior to apply for dev jobs

Guide to dev rant:
Bad memes
Job interview fails
Rants about js
Posts complaining about devrant
Devrant probe finished: no other content

While I recover from a foot surgery, I got a sliver of joy. Landed my first full time dev job :)

0. Get a dev job
1. Get paid
2. Get laid
3. Rewatch Dragon Maid?

[worst hypothetical dev job]

You know how theres a dedicated person in porn whos job is blowing the actors so they are hard? That, but with writing all the boilerplate code and nothing else.

Pros of being a dev:
Best job on the planet.

Cons:
Stack overflow error on line 18834 of <module>

Why would some companies advertise a job post as Software Engineer, and only to find out deep in the process after doing multiple interviews, that it’s actually a support job??

Seriously why the fuck do that? That’s disingenuous and misleading as fuck?
And why would a dev be dropping a dev job and experience to do tech support ? Is it even worth it?

Even if it is, can you easily switch back to an actual dev job afterwards?
Wow the things some of these companies do 😶🙄😑🤦🏾‍♂️

I start my first mid level dev job tomorrow after securing a job on a 10k pay increase. Feels good man,my junior days are over ^=^

36 in previous job (sysadmin) - had to run 3 shifts in a row. Boy was I a vegetable in the end....
18 in current job (java dev), when I messed up PROD db

Ask me in a few months after my bootcamp! I hope to have my first dev job! Scary and exciting at the same time 😳

Started a new job as a senior dev but with a framework I've never worked with and I just feel like I'm slow AF and just not qualified for the job. I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm greiving my dog that passed last Tuesday.

Company makes you doing end user support additionally to your (dev) job, so you have no time to do the latter.

Finding a dev job in a suburban area is near impossible I swear

Started a new game dev job. Fortunately, they already have a Rubber Ducky chilling at the desk. Only thing, it's less of a duck and more of an evil imperial guard with a lust for bloodshed. I hope he likes C++.

- my (non-dev) supervisor at my job
- no documentation
- no source control
- people working in the same team with completely different programming/domain knowledge levels, but also very different ways of being
- bad within-project communication

Luckily not all of them are about my job. We do use source control.

must be a hell of a front-end.....
Yes this is a Frontend Dev Job :)

One day at the office at whoever built Laravel

Dev: sir, most of devs use php, we can use good old php expressi...
Boss: no, dump all of them, we'll create our own functions that do same job
Dev: ok... So our devs will use mysql, we can use sql quer...
Boss: dump them all too, again, we will make our own functions that dont look anything like that
Dev: we can also use standard...
Boss: NO STANDARDS! Creare every single php method or sql query in another method that does the same job...

I'm tempted at some point to get a non-dev job. After about 2 weeks I could automate everything then just slack off.

Urgent: I got a coding camp JavaScript Instructor job very well paid expects answer tomorrow. I got another company wants me but they don't have offer as they must get permission from the CEO for a developer job. The developer job would pay less than instructor job

I don't know what the fuck to do. I would like the dev job for experience but I haven't worked for 3 fucking months.

My first freelance dev job thing, turned out alright. For the first year though, the dev job thing became a tech support thing. Oh the horror.

So i left my job as an android dev earlier (nothing big, just didnt wanna juggle school and work) and as the year started i noticed that somehow i ended up working as an android dev again but this time in c#. There's no escape.

Sometimes I get me thinking that the only coworker I consider real dev is the intern.

Really looking forward to go to a real coding job.

worst - not finding a job/internship for months
best - I now have my first dev job, and I will be graduating college and getting married this month!

For me it is not difficult to explain other people what I am doing as a programmer, but what company I am working for. We write software for the administration of cemeteries. People often look at me like I am joking. So I was wondering: What was your weirdest project/Job as a developer?

Any tips on landing entry level dev job while in the process of getting CS degree? not internship, actual full time job.

How/where to start and is it possible?

Leave my sysadmin job and finally get my first dev job

New job. Almost all sites are blocked due to "security"... even spotify. I can' listen to the music. Fortunately i have access to dev rant xd

1st day on the job and I am greeted with EOD, SIT, DEV, UT, POC..
Someone give me an Cheat sheet of this shh...

I'm thinking about making an linkidin account. I'm mostly a privacy centered person so I don't have any social media. Should I do it because it can maybe help me in my career? I'm currently at my first junior dev job.

Love to hear your opinions.

I feel like I got my current job as my first dev job so I would know what NOT to do and what to avoid for my next job.

I applied for a dev job, ofc _without_ looking at their references before sending my candidature.
Turns out 80% of their references are porn sites...
Most of them are quite big as far as I can tell, but I don't really wanna work for a company like them. I'm still young, I don't really think it would make a good impression later on if I'd had a company who makes 80% porn sites in their portfolio in my CV when posting for more serious stuff.

And they asked me for a phone interview. Should I accept it?

Dev goals on the 1st of January:
- learn vulkan
- get a good paying job
Dev goals on the 3rd of January:
- not getting drafted

turn it back into a dev hobby and get a job in a shop or something

any advice for a junior dev that can't get any fucking help from the senior devs? I can only in good-conscience try to solve a problem for so long before I know I'm seriously wasting my time

when I ask for help I often get "I'll get to your question in two or three days"

like damn I'm pretty stuck here guy

The best part being a dev for me is that my hobby is also my job. And my hobby pays well 😎

Another nice rant while I try to find a job.

I make an interview with the senior dev (they are small and don't have a hr).
Everything sails snooth and they tell me "We will tell u something at the end of august"

Well yesterday I wrote to them, asking for news and not only they give me a negative response... (after they also said they forgot about me) but.... THE WROTE MY GODDAMIT NAME WRONG!

Like my email has my name in it, I presented my self and I closed the same mail with my signature. Yet they write a completly wrong name.

Like wtf!!! you can't even look for my name? it feels like they don't even know who I was.

I can say I'm lucky not to work for them.

Best: leaving an overly stressful job
Worst: not dev but coughing up nearly a litre of blood sucked pretty badly. Covid y'all.

What's with Angular? Why are there so many Job Openings for Angular in India? It's like every recruiter is asking Angular. And the pay is much more than the backend Dev positions. Just because its frontend. I feel voilated for being a backend dev.

Found out today that someone has a cron job running doing a daily DB export since June 1 of 2015. The dumps average 2GB. I am amazed that storage engineering hasn't complained. Here's the kicker. It's a Dev database. WTF!? Dev? I freed up a terabyte of space today. Now I need to find out who owns that cron job.

So I got my first Dev job as a Junior!!!! It is in a big company that seems to be full of energy and ideas.
I am really excited and hope this all go well.
I'm just lost about how to be prepared for the first day and afraid to not meet the expectations I think they have on me.

Now that I'm a free man, in 20 days, finaly get a dev job, a gf, and some well needed sleep

The first dev job was on probation for two weeks..

!Rant

Sysadmins don't have an easy job. Dev side is brighter.

Have ever happened to you, that you feel like your current job is just not working for you anymore and it does not motivate you ?

I'm BACK! (Just haven't used DR in a looong time cuz I had other jobs and kinda forgot about it).
But now I am back and recently got hired as the IT-support guy for some health centers. The best part is that they had some old systems that needed updating so here I am trying to wrap my head around PHP before throwing myself in someone elses code, someone got any tips for learning PHP?

Started a new web dev job, how long until I can tell my new boss that the codebase sucks and needs a complete rewrite?

Started a new dev job today. We have to use IE 😫

best part of being a dev... job interviews where experience always counts more than education...

i feel being a dev has given me great sarcasm skills

Wanna move to Canada... What's​ your opinion about dev jobs there ?

Online java IDE suggestions?

My (non-dev) job is boring and I tend to have a lot of downtime, any suggestions?

Just quit my bastardized job, and I feel as light as a feather :)

Also, anyone know of any dev jobs around Nottingham?

So they're kinda the same
Worst
Took a support job because it paid double a dev job
Best
Got a job after having a really tough time this year

Ever apply for a dev job in an industry you really wanna be jn even though you know you aren’t very qualified for the job? How’d that go for you?

What can you expect to earn at your first IT/dev job in your country (e.g. junior dev after graduating)?

What do seniors usually get?

For the first few weeks of starting my first real dev job, almost every question was answered, prepended with "that's easy!".

Been offered first dev job, the adventure begins :)

Saw an add for a dev job in which to be considered you had to build a social media network. Seriously.

I can't change my choice of beer this week because the company is stocked for another 2 weeks.
Damn! I love my job.
I'm just a dev.

- Quit my job
- deploy my platform live!!
- make a dev tool
- move out
- get a cat
- start at least 1 successful business/application

Not in that order

I’m a full-stack Dev, but my job description restricts me to backend - app logic and databases - but the frontend Dev makes crappy markup templates and I have to keep closing unclosed tags and replacing ID css selectors with classes.

First day of first dev job complete. Already in love with my team. But why didn't anyone tell me about Emmet before now???

Finally got my first dev job. I am looking at the code base for my company. And it’s like I know how to code in this language. But I don’t know half of the advanced shit they’re doing. I understand they have more experience than me. But I’m just not sure how to catch up to them. Or be even on the same level as them? I guess just more out of office learning?

I can read what they’re putting in the code and understand how it works. But like how they came up with it I have no clue. I guess I’ll learn over time and have to put in some extra man hours.

Anyone here who escaped IT/security and got a dev job?
How did you do it?

My first dev job I was laid off after the company was investigated for Medicaid fraud

Had my dev job described as a "computer, desk job" in a condescending tone yesterday by a guy trying to convince me to join his pyramid scheme....
// TODO: come up with awesome rant about this so I can look badass

Brain : Hey, there's this task that needs to be done

Me : oh sure, let me do it

* tries to do it unsuccessfully a few times *

Brain : ...

Me : ...

Brain : DON'T YOU --

Me : * Opens devrant and starts scrolling *

Seriously though, if you guys could suggest some good cmake tutorials ( I'm using VSCode and GCC 8.1.0 for compilation ) - that'd be swell :)
Keep rocking!

Dev with a job: 🧔
Dev without a job: 🧑

Be prepared to try a dev job in case the localization company I actually work for go bankruptcy

Starting a new job tomorrow as a junior Java developer. Let's hope this works out better than my last job which was supposedly also as a java dev but involved zero code writing

Being tempted by a job offer as an iOS dev that has full (paid) training. Not a fan of apple but heard swift is a nice language (assuming it is swift).

I've spent the last year and a half learning the react way as my first dev job, not sure whether it's beneficial to keep on this path or diversify.

My ideal dev job is a job that requires to think about reality in a different way, a job that requires both programming skills and an open mind.
P.S. I should also earn enough money to buy a Tesla haha

It exists its just not my job : dev ops

Job post I saw today. They are either looking for:

- C/C# Dev to the company
- HAPPY Frontend dev
- Java Dev to the company

Well now.. only the front end gets to be happy but doesn't know where to work while the other two can be grumpy and know they'll work at the company? 🤔

Finding a part time job as a dev and have 80% of my ECTs as a CS student

well I start my first dev job in a week and a half. after telling my family I was resigning from my helpdesk support gig, they asked about the pay and didn't understand why the dev job payed more.

I tried to explain it and I think about half of them got it but the older half still just associate it as "computer stuff"

Just remember one thing. There's no perfect job for a dev.

- VueJS
- Develop a cross platform app
- Try get job overseas, pref in Switzerland
- be self employed using my dev powers
- make my bike connected to internet. Dev a real-time dashboard. Try to add consciousness to bike.

Landed my first dev job today!!
Couldn't be more proud of myself and at the same time more terrified of what to come.

I've found a better job offer; shorter distance, but salery is low, not that is a big issue tbh.

What is the right approach to quit your job?

Or to say, nicest way to avoid burning any bridges.

Well, after the snafu with the Ruby dev job, I've instead landed an SQL Dev role. Notice handed in, and in four weeks I will no longer work in support. The fact it's closer to home and pays more is a bonus.

Manager : You really shouldn't be doing that

Dev : Its in my job description

Manager : Yeah but you still shouldn't be doing it.

Dev : Who should I hand it off to?

Manager : We don't have anyone else to hand off that task to.

Dev : Ok , do I stop doing it?

Manager : 😡Of course not , it needs to get done! I'm just saying you shouldn't do it.

Dev : ????????

My first dev job was in visual basic.. As an unpaid intern and also no bonuses anything.

Before I got my dev job I had more time to be on devRant.

Is it harder to work a full time dev job or be a full time CS student with a part time dev job? I’m currently living the second one and it’s hard to balance both work and school.
