Found this on the net... Relatable as some instructions definately need to be spelt out explicitly for certain people. 🙈

I've been fortunate enough to work with a lot of awesome people early into my career.

At the company I worked where I met @trogus, I became friends with a few people, including Tim, that I think were my favorites. It was a really fun bunch and though it may sound immature, but a lot of the times it felt like we were kids so for me coming out of college it was awesome.

There's so many stories from working with that bunch that come to mind for me. One of my best friends there was this guy "Dirty Devin." He started around the same time I did. When I first met him he seemed really boring and professional. After getting to know him, and after he'd been at the company for a few weeks, his actual personality started to show and he was like a child (in the best way possible) and was absolutely hilarious/made the work place a blast.

Our office had a ping pong table and neither Dirty Devin or I had ever really played. We started playing against each other and we both very quickly got really good.

I also met a guy named Botond (he's the one in the photo). He was very similar to Dirty Devin. Lots of crazy stories but the photo is actually a really funny one - we both got to work a few minutes early one day. And we couldn't get into the office. We kept trying to enter the door code and it wouldn't work. We kept joking that we must both be fired. Turned out that they had fired someone the night before and didn't bother to send out the new door code :/

And of course, Tim. I think we clicked pretty early on and had the same friend group at the company.

Debugging someone else's code and having the thought: "Am I better off just writing the code again from the start?!"

May the 'storage' be with you... 💾

LOL, there is a definition for this posted... 🙈

Someday I'll click 'Yes', I just don't know when...

Definitely feel thankful when apps do provide update with fixes but then some release note are like this... 🤔

A SQL query goes into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, "Can I join you?"

Such a classic joke. Apt for a Friday! :D

Best part to being a dev? Attention 😼

(Perks (or struggle depending on how you see it) of being a female dev)

These two!!!

Sherlock giving the motivation to do detective work and find the bugs. Dumbledore giving the motivation to use magic and code the solution. :D

Spending more time grooming a user story than it will take to implement.

"I got a new error" = Successful progress! The satisfaction of this is abit too high. 🙌🏽

@dfox @trogus
Wait?
Does the devrant face thing have a name?
I have been calling my stress ball Devin when I use it to rubber duck debug.

Devin, developer, devrant...
I know, home run.😅

Need a debugging duck?... Rome has a dedicated duck store for this need. 😁

Worst documentation I've dealt with? The non-existent one.

"Is there any documentation for this?" "Nope." "..."

I can’t say I understand the humour here yet but I’m lucky to have found a whole rant based community for people named Devin.

Just imagination but, if infinite money and resource was present (and if this was hypothetically possible)...

A machine that is able to replicate ONLY one portion of the brain thinking activity and produce a version of a robot with that thinking capacity. This would be unique per person, and licensed in a way so that the owner of the robot is only able to use and control it. (I'm saying only one thinking capability should be allowed as a robot should never replace a person ideally.)

This would mean that the person is able to increase efficiency as the robot could be set to resume activities in the period that the person can't (i.e. sleeping).

One example of using this scenario could be that the person chooses to create a robot by replicating their coding thinking capabilities. This would mean the robot doesn't do much but has the same thinking ability to code as the owner. The robot could be used when the owner is sleeping or on holiday. As the thinking capacity is the same, the code logic would be the same as when the owner would have wrote it.

This would be a DREAM project to work on.

But alas... This isn't happening anytime soon in my lifetime (or ever realistically).

I HATE JS!

What's the most interesting use for a QR code (or any other 2D code) you have seen?

Swag stickers arrived today! Thank you @dfox and @trogus! :D

ok I'll say it once again -

Fuck Devin, Fuck Sora, Fuck OpenAI, Fuck ChatGPT and fuck the worst of all, Microsoft.

I'm not explaining why I am saying this, but,

Fuck AI, Fuck OpenAI, Fuck Sora, Fuck Sam Altman and especially, wait for it, especially, Fuck Devin.

FUCK DEVIN

Oh wow Devin. Yay, developers you're screwed

Hi fellow ranters, I humbly request your opinion on a matter.

I am a CS student in his last year of college, and currently developing a Node.js app as his final year project with a partner. The project has potential, and we've been at it for about three weeks, but the problem is that the more I code, the less I see myself doing Node in the future.

I was a total noob in CSS before starting the project, and I have learnt a ton in just 3 short weeks, but that has taken a toll on me, because I fell pretty far behind our schedule. However, for as much time and effort ad I have put in, my partner has put in a lot more (and he knows way more than me), thus increasing the gap.

My partner and I have (for the moment) different views on the amount of effort that we want to put in the project, since I see it as "slightly more than just another subject" (9-hr a week), and he sees it as a real passion project (endless hours). This could be due to the burnout of the first weeks, but I'm really not that excited about the project anymore, and I find myself thinking that I am wasting both of our time (I don't want to be dead weight), and that if I worked on a project that really made me passionate, such a compiler or a runtime environment, or a new programming language, I wouldn't mind putting in the hours that he does. Just to give more context, this whole project was his idea, and although I find it a great idea, and I know he is capable of building an amazing product, I am not sure whether I would be useful, or even if I want to be useful. Again, this could all be because of burnout.

Anyone has had such an experience?

TL;DR: I am working on a final project with a partner (it was his idea, and I found it interesting), but I think I would be happier switching to a project of my own.

Okay my Instagram feed is filled with Devin AI engineer! It's not that I'm threatened that it will take my job, but srsly? Is this a threat?

Do you use i3 (dynamic tiling windows manager) on your *nix system?

What are your favourite tips/hacks for optimisation?

I don't wanna get bored self studying and learning. Looking for a companion.
Anyone is planning on learning React.js? Or learning algorithms and data structures using any language?
