Everytime I need to edit a document

When you try and edit a CSS file you did 3years ago.

Click Edit > Copy, click Edit > Paste.

Every. Single. Time.

Add the next line when you don't want anyone to mess around with your code. ;)

// Autogenerated. Do not edit, all the changes will be undone.

Hello, anyone still interested in seeing my setup/battle station?

If yes, I'll post it in the comments ;D

Edit: posted it in a comment 😊

Always 😂

That, my fellow devRanters, is me using 3 TeamViewers to edit something on the server.

*me, 11 pm: "Welp, I think I'm gonna stop for tonight"
*Me, 2 am of same evening: "ThE eDiT fOrM iS fUnCtIoNaL aNd wOrKinG!!!"

*my friends wanted to learn how to use linux*
My friend: "So, how do you edit this file ?"
Me: "Use Vim" *sadistic smile*

I laughed for five full minutes.

Edit: Still cracks me up😂😂😂

My uni implemented Bluetooth beacon based attendance monitoring.

Raspberry pi + cloned beacons = 100% attendance.

Idiots 😂

(Edit for clarity: app on smartphone, Bluetooth beacon in each room)

When you try to edit person's phone number in dev environment and see this hilarity.

its amazing how far technology has come. I can edit a hi-res image in real time with a computer smaller than my hand.

5 minutes later I see a notification. Wooooo someone will help me fix my problem.

Some Indian dude suggested an edit.

You know what his edit was?

When another programmer tries to edit your code.

dfox used his sudo power! That edit wasn't there yesterday

omg, I can edit my rant now! Thanks @dfox and @trogus

I remember seeing a funny comment, but then they put, “Edit: Thanks for the likes!” Which then makes the comment unfunny

A quick advice to new developers. Never and I mean NEVER do a "quick edit" or "beautification" extremely close to a deadline. You should not underestimate the power of bugs.

Come in. Edit one line of code. Fix the problem. Walk out feeling like a God.

I had to edit it or else it would look boring af.
Just a cheap laptop

Btw: I made the photo and edit one week before knowing devRants wk119 will be devDeks xD

- How can we make sure the age input is an integer?
- Let's add some incremental buttons for edit it.

When the client says "I just need a really easy edit, shouldn't take more than a few minutes."

*in my head* "Oh really? Can you do it? No? Then don't tell me how easy it is going to be to find the one line of code I need to edit out of thousands of lines in hundreds of files."

Google photos, huh?!

People that edit a comment on YouTube and say "thanks for the likes" are fuckin stupid.

Don't edit someone else library

So my job doesnt use any version control. They just edit the files directly from the network drive. Wtf? Is this the 90's?

Guys, when you have to manually edit records in the prod DB, please at least make sure that your overweight cat isn't rolling around on the keyboard...

I edit text files for a living

"Wanted: Dangerous PHP Developer"

I edit on live during peak hours with no backups using basic Notepad over an unencrypted network. That dangerous enough?

Using AI to draw me a table that will look good in my small kitchen corner, just wanted to see some ideas slightly different from basic ones:

"a small table, big enough for only 2 chairs. The table sits in the corner of a room."

"the table has only 4 legs!"

*sigh...edit
"the chairs are not physically attached to the table"

So today I made my first basic program in C++ from scratch that worked! After some troubleshooting.. But I thought of ways I could edit it and make it better!

Hey DevRant devs, could we get an edit button?

When you edit some HTML with the developer console and then your grandmother says: "But you have to undo it after this, because the owner will be not amused when they see that you have edited their website."

Jup this is how the internet works: everyone can edit their website :D

I decided to make some minimalist icons for my launcher. What do you guys think?

Bitch, I won't even open my editor for $15, how dare you propose me to edit a script for that?

Edit: oh shit that was 10 days ago

Everyone prepare for notif madness!

Hey so found another tiny bug, well more like a typo, if you're​ a subscriber and you go to edit a post more than it's time limit in this after 57 mins you get the old can't edit after 5 minutes alert dialog message, super easy to fix (I guess lol) and not too important

PM just asked me "can you edit that exe file?" Needless to say I walked out.

How can you be called a senior developer when you edit a giant SQL stored without first making a backup....

@dfox it is on my mind to rant about editing my rants but now i lost the opportunity to rant about it, latest update: edit your rants and comments. cool 😎 👍

Teams refuses to edit a message unless it is seen by at least 1

A half answer on SO gives me a pointer to a possible solution. Using that pointer, I actually find an answer and it's quite involved. So to help others with the same question, I edit the answer to complete it with the additional steps. No edits to the answer involved, just a few additional steps.

😡 The answer author comments that they appreciate the info, but they reject my edit so their answer isn't changed!

What a douchebag.

Wtf man, you are using fucking Ubuntu for 5 months and I really have to tell you how to edit fucking /etc/hosts? Fuck you... I should be the fucking boss...

Don’t you hate it when people completly overcomplicates code?

The bottom one is my edit of the code.

Not being able to edit rants after 5 minutes. Apparently you can upset people if you're not entirely clear in your rants. Who knew?

I swear, 90% of the times I edit a message after posting, I'm turning "your" to "you're" and the other way around.

Occasionally have to edit typos that autocorrect has adapted to for some reason.

Is there's an "edit history" feature in DevRant. Some comments makes no sense after a post is edited.

I'm thinking of posting "Arch Linux and Firefox for the win. Who's with me?"

Then, when I have some comments, I'll switch it to "Windows 8 and IE for the win. Who's with me?"

That could ruin a lot of lives.

When you're asked to create a PowerPoint presentation or edit a video because you're the "you know technology".

UGH.

I shall see you all in a few weeks /salute

EDIT: I have no idea why the image is so W I D E

I think its time to go to bed 😐

Edit 3: You cant edit a rant to add a picture in devRantron, check comments for picture.

"Minor edit"?
Why do clients always have to try and quantify the amount of effort a task is going to take while having no clue as the actual work it is going to take?
MINOR EDIT!
I bet to them changing a fundamental law of the universe would be a "minor edit"

When you're asked to edit some code you've never written... Feels like Alice in Wonderland... completely lost...

Me: "Oh, I should use my phone to browse devRant"
Inner me: "Edit the HTML"

Companies like this one do love exportation. What junior+ developer would switch jobs to an intern that is unpaid?

Not even students (Or graduates) can apply to this position.

I'm gonna EDIT!!!

Uh yeah, the internet connection was dropped for a second while saving an edit of a comment. So I know why it "Whoops"'d.

Android 7.1.2.

Vim. For all the quick things I need to edit and for all the large things too, vim is always a trusty too. Specifically neovim.

Just got a new mousepad :D

Idk why I had the idea to research how sockets work in X86 Assembly. I’ve just been weirdly obsessed with low level stuff recently.

How does the darkweb _actually_ work?

a friend of mine made this

EDIT: oh ok devrant isn't liking transparency

Never ever directly edit the source code of libraries.
Not to the smallest bit.

I just did that and forgot about it, then I wondered how a decent library like I used can produce such gobshite as it did. Several hours (!) later I discover my little "debug output" line in the library's source.
Goddammit I must have a well built table. And a well built head.

@dfox awesome avatars, the devRant avatars are really nice addition and just avatar we can edit them too.

@dfox @trogus I just noticed the little "modify" button on comments. Thank you for that :)

Why I hate my job some days, the whole app crashes if you expand the details, then hit edit but is fine if you hit edit then expand the details. You gotta be kidding me.

DevRant should have:
- a Personal Message system
- Gifs&Images in Comments
- 100% dark theme
- Edit function

So our junior dev constantly asks really obvious things. But this one question really takes the cake.
So we have a small programm that opens a file browser and puts the selected files path in a line edit text box. So he comes over to me and says its broken because he cant edit the path in the text box. Weird, this shouldnt happen at all. Turns out this more than braindead tortoise thought it was just a regular piece of uneditable text and didnt even try to edit it. Its a FUCKING OBVOIUS EDITABLE TEXTBOX!!!!!

When you misspelled your rant in devRant and you have no edit button...

I think I should be able to crop&edit images before posting, right on devrant.

When I edit something directly in production

Apparently some smart shithead decided to override ctrl+f browser behavior when you edit files directly on github.

Edit renders only part of file and displays search under edit file label that disappears every time you find something. ( what if there is more then one occurrence smartass )

Default ctrl+f can’t find text on page unless it’s displayed.

Thanks morons.

All of you complaining about Windows updating without your approval and I'm like: regedit.

When your technical skills section starts to look like a a node_modules directory, it’s time to edit.

This is how my coworker does code reviews... imagine comment on a line of code:

"Oh why does this not do this and that.
Edit: Oh I've read few lines below, now I understand. But this may break when this and that.
Edit: Nevermind I realized, that never happens, forget about it."

Let me just emphasise, that this is single comment, so it's basically editted multiple times, before submition.

Like wtf, just delete the comment then?!

What in the actual fuck GitHub?!

Why can't I edit a file direct on the web UI? I was able to this morning! If I can't edit against master then why the fuck is the icon there?!

Also, why did you add the unnecessary step of "add tag" when I am fucking CLEARLY adding a new fucking tag.

Let’s see how well his goes...

So lately, I've been screen recording when I am working on my projects just for fun. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and SimpleScreenRecorder for screen recording. I'm using VidCutter for video editing but for some reason, it's giving me some errors and not able to save my edited videos. I don't want to do heavy video editing. I just want something like Windows movie make if some of you remember that.

One of the DB guys at work writes DB packages like this:

- open package in PL/SQL developer
- copy code to notepad
- edit PL/SQL code in notepad (yes, fucking windows notepad)
- copy and paste back from notepad to PL/SQL developer
- commit

Everytime I see him edit DB packages I can feel my brain mass shrinking.

Learning git isn't time wasted. It's such a bad to email the code after each edit

A file that I had copied from the company network drive into my own. VS Code to edit the content according to a tutorial provided. IDE doesn't work with the given file, dependencies not resolvable, so let's troubleshoot. Open the file in question inside the IDE, the file contents are those from the tutorial?? Turns out I didn't edit the file on my own system but on the network drive. At least it wasn't a critical file. 🤦

Edit feature has* arrived, now I can fix my spelling instead of replying and ragging about autocorrect!

Pseudo-code:

Wasted so much time because I used or instead of and in an if statement. Why am I so fucking stupid sometimes.

Question for WSL users.

What's your workflow?
How do you edit the code from your IDE on Windows while the application is running in Linux?

Solarized Dark anyone ? In my opinion one of the best scheme ever invented. Even if you don't like just edit it like you want, it will still be solarized dark.

Why I cannot add picture in comments or edit comments from desktop browser but only from the app? it's really annoying :(

@dfox

It's a nice feeling. Even if the commits are rather small.

Edit: Should say "you've pushed" rather than "you've commited".

How nice would be the edit rant feature

An ex boss, who is obviously a project / marketing manager, claims he understands code and all, couldn't even edit the text inside a html element. R U SRS?

Copy-paste-edit. Started with javascript and PHP. I would copy a script and just edit some output. This was when blinking text, hit counters and guestbooks was all the rage.

Earlier whenever I need to edit photos, I boot to windows for Photoshop. But now I am fairly comfortable with GIMP. Seems like soon I will be able to wipe me windows partition

WHAT THE FUCK!

I made a spelling mistake in my previous rant and I can't edit it !!!

Why devRant whhhy!

I can program it if you want, just say the word 😂🤘

worst: codeSourcery cross compile tool chain. The stuff of nightmares.
Best: textmate or notepad++. Never code in them, but really usefull for a quick edit, or log analysis.

When you've fully set up a CMS for a project and you still get messages asking to edit the content... 😕

Why the fuck would you disable editing comments in a bug report? There goes 2 hours of my fucking life trying to edit two sentences

Here's the edit @Fast-Nop

Can we all appreciate how good nvim is at it's job.

"as well as stability and performance improvement" aka revert the stupid address bar change that requires an extra click to actually edit the text.

Yes Google must've thought people were idiots to have to show a copy button by default and an extra button to edit the link...

Oh wait they must've realized actually they're the idiots. I actually used Firefox for a while but their tab manager with the square grid is annoying or some other issue...

@dfox we could have any way to edit or delete a rant...

People who edit videos from clips on your google drive and flood the folder with the .sfk files

I always start a new project like: Copy & paste a similar project and edit its Readme.md file (and perhaps pom.xml) and delete all the other files I don't need right now 😉
