I am going to present my web app i've been working on for around 6 months today. Its a country level competition. Wish me luck guys, this could change a lot for me.

Made this for work after encountering 500+ line functions in the legacy code.

So last year i was competing in IT basics, school level went great so i went to state level. This is my first state competition ever and im really nervous, everyone is telling me things like "you've got the gift, don't worry" (by everyone i mean my mum) but i keep believing that everyone who went to the state level has a 'gift' for IT. So the competition is about to start and a guy next to me raises hand to ask a question and im like so nervous that he is going to ask something i dont understand or is too complicated for me. The guy fucking asks how to get past the login screen because he clicked on an admin account and it is requesting a password. The fucking guest account is right next to the admin account that he clicked on and i proceed to help him and i click on the guest account and he litteraly asks me "wow i didnt know that was possible". What the fuck. IT BASICS STATE LEVEL. DOSENT FUCKING KNOW HOW TO ENTER A GUEST ACCOUNT. Next on, the competition is over and we have to enter passwords to submit our online test so as i walk to exit the classroom i see a guy struggling and i ask him like dude you need to write a password and submit! Hes like umm yeah i know but umm you see... I dont know how to write a # (it was required as a password) .IT FUCKING BASICS STATE LEVEL.DOSENT KNOW HOW TO WRITE A '#'. Later on i got 8th place and the fucker who didnt know how to write # got 1st because he knew fucking exel questions that i didnt.

When your team uses both scss & less in the same project

It's when you lack electricity that you really start to question your life style

"Intense coding. A day passes. Wait, how the fuck did my code work? It doesn't make any sense!"

It happens so, so often, God why 😐

Give Job

When you are retard and cross TX/RX lines, desperate measures will have to follow, like terminating hardware UART on start-up so that you can bit-bang over crossed TX/RX yourself...

Hey devs! I'm new here and I don't know any people on this network, wanna talk about things?

Didn't even ask for 2 sets, the devRant team is just awesome! Thanks!

On and @localhost, it seems like people are sending their setup, so here's my student one :)

The number of services you need to grok for full AWS certification...

Dockerize all the things! 🐳🐋

I just finished my second semester of computer programming. I then say to myself : "Let's use my new knowledge to make the program I worked on for fun two years ago better and more efficient!".

It was a bad idea.

Is learning VIM worth it?

I have some (probably unjustified) prejudices to it - I find it rather visually unattractive. But it seems to me also that it boosts productivity.

So do you recommend it and what is least painful way to learn it?

Dear community,

Could you please recommend me some (free if possible) sites for SW skill assessment (for example: sites with quizzes, problems, exams etc.)?

Thanks. :)

How do you know that you are stuck in a job without longterm perspective (besides some undefined gut feeling)?

And what to do then? It seems to me, only possible action is to change job. Is there any, less extreme, alternative?

Started my very first (summer) job as an IT agent in customer service for my city less than two weeks ago and finally moving out from the formations to answer the phone alone.

I must've listened to around 30 calls and already there's stories I could make tales of.

I now understand the job of customer service.

In recent time, I'm thinking about to start freelancing (or at least start preparing for it).

Problem is that I'm completely new to it. In following weeks, which steps should I take to successfully introduce myself to that market? Which mistakes to avoid? Which sites do you recommend?

Thanks in advance for contribution. :)

I keep getting emails from people I don't know that are like conversations, leading me to believe they aren't sent to the rightful owner. Most of the time, I see the email has uppercase at some places (when mine doesn't).

I just wish the companies could put a mark somewhere in their page when entering an uppercase email that mentions the fact that it doesn't change shit, getting really annoyed from receiving these mails not directed to me 😒

Not dev related, assuming that here is a lot of people interested in history , philosophy, books I would like to ask for recommendations for:
YouTube channels or site related to history, books reviews/recommendations (dev and non-dev related), philosophy.

Thanks. :)

What do you think about Udemy?

And if you took it, which courses did you find most useful - not only related to programming/development but in general?

Thank you in advance. :)

I need some recommendation for Web UI components framework which could be relativity easily integrated/used on Play framework web application.

Something like Primefaces or old Richfaces (but those are for JSF).

Thanks in advance. :)

I need recommendation for site/community to improve my (clean) code style?

And, in more general, what are your ways to improve code style and programming way of thinking - more oriented towards bigger picture of application/systems (patterns, architecture, etc.)?
