My last night:
- Had nothing much to work on.
- Opened a porn site to spend sometime.
- Clicked on some really good video.
- Realized full screen isn't working on the page.
- Fired up JS console, spent the next 30 minutes trying to get the video part full screen. Failed!
- Opened up Google & navigated through stackoverflow looking for the fix. Still couldn't do it.
- Cursed the website for having a bad design.
- Left the site.

Bad UI = No Fuck.

Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this

When you have something in your clipboard but then press Ctrl+C instead of Ctrl+V and end up with a blank line.

First date tip: Don't tell her that you prefer back-end over front-end. Programming is apparently "the most perverted thing in the world"...

I found this while I was lazily internetting and my first thought was 'okay, that's most definitely a hack!'.

Someone has actually built a hack for all the world to see!

Me after my first "Hello World!" program in C.

HELLO WORLD! ITS FIRST DAY OF LEARNING HTML😊

First world programmer problems when you work from home.

Hello world, this is my first rant :)

Today at work, this was on the whiteboard.
Little "war" between the iOS pole and the PHP pole :D (Obviously PHP is better)

*joins devrant*

*Deletes fb and all social stuff*

*all friends use facebook messenger*

*quietly installs again*

(First world problems)

#1 problem during summer months

Just broke 3000++ but no stress ball because my stories aren't as funny as my comments. :(

!rant
Deployed my first website to production yesterday and the world isn't burning, the error logs have been empty and my (non-tech) colleagues think it is amazing.
I'm somewhat proud of myself.

trying to teach my little sister(13) her first programming language. decided to go the microsoft way and start with C#.
the moment she finished her first
hello world made me so proud of her :)

So this morning my girlfriend just woke up and pressed the hue "lights off" button over and over again and yelled: "The fuckin light switch does not work". Then she realized, that the light comes from the sun.

This baby just arrived at my door. It's gonna be a fun weekend! My first touch with IoT world.

!rant
Last night my girlfriend was extremely happy to make her first Android hello world application.

The most emotional moment was after seeing that "Hello, world!" printed out on the screen for the first time. That was the point where I felt like "yup, this is gonna be my life from now on"

Thanks Google, this is what I was looking for.

I wanted to print the second and third page of some document, so in the relevant field of the printer dialog I enter "1, 2" and I walk off to the printer.

My first thought when I saw the printer had printed the wrong pages was
"F*ing buggy software"
Second thought:
"Oh... right"
Third thought:
"Right, in the real world, one-based indices are the rule rather than the exception. "
Fourth thought:
"Dumb real world"

Why is text selection on touchscreens still so goddamn terrible?

That first world problems moment when your desk can hardly handle handle the load of your monitor arm after you've put up a new monitor and you realize that three more monitors will be mounted soon.

😬😧😅

First world problems.
New GPU to long for current loop.

Need to redo that anyway.

So today in school, we wrote our first Hello-World-Programm.

Everybody copied my work...

I think I need 1 more monitor to even this out...

Hello world

devRant is the first time I see so many people announcing to the world how much they like the app. Imagine someone be like "I LOVE Facebook! <3"

Btw, I LOVE devRant! <3

The pain in a dev's heart when a long queue keeps growing at the supermarket and they don't open another checkout

#!/bin/bash
echo Hello World!

This is my first time here at devRant and I have to say that it's amazing!

Just something to fill this a little more:
Linux enthusiast since 2011.
I'm your stereotypical v̶e̶g̶a̶n̶ Arch user (btw, I use Arch).
Right now I'm learning C and C++(using the QT framework).

Let's the Rant games begin!

Me when I ran my first Hello World...

Hello world!

oh sh*t waddup ill hax ur toaster m8 git on my fkn level

Mandatory hello world first post:
System.out.print("Hello World");

Friend: I can't download songs and videos in youtube

Me: You need to buy Youtube Red subscription to do in the official youtube app, but you can always use 3rd party services.

Friend: When I press the download button, the music isn't being downloaded, instead the numbers next to it gets incremented by 1

Me: WTF? What is that?

Friend: (shows the action to me)

Me: FML, (faints)

He pressed the dislike button because it looked like the download button and when he pressed the button, the number got incremented.

The best feeling in the world is when your code works the first time or when you close 100 tabs when you finish work

The journey of thousands of devrants begins with the first, print ("Hello World")

WTH?! I just installed Windows on a high end laptop and fiber connection in under 20 minutes.

Nobody told me this is how people in first-world countries lived!!

Can't get a coffee first thing as the coffee machine is being upgraded.

Had a MacBook try to commit suicide sometime this weekend... just glad it didn't explode in the office ...

The battery swole large enough to push the trackpad out of the frame about a centimeter cracking it in half.

Took the battery out. Still works fine even with a cracked trackpad.

The obvious one:
E-Corp (aka. Evil Corp).
First they acted all evil, and then they wanted to control the world.
A brilliant business model tbh., but not very humanistic one.

In accordance with the ancient traditions of our people, we must first build an app that does nothing except say "Hello world". - react native docs

Changing default branch name from "master" to "main" is just one more entry in the already very long list of "things sane people must do because some retarded american woke up one day and decided to be offended".
I am so fucking tired of the entire world having to accommodate to the first-world-problems of some spoiled brat just because they happen to be american.

So sad 😢 no one mentioned me while I was in a meeting

Worst: I lost development contract - probably due to covid - after 4 years of work. I got email when I was at bank seconds before signing mortgage for my first apartment.
I signed it anyways as a technically unemployed person without income looking at the world collapsing.

Best: I gained new contract with 40% money raise. Fuck yeah !

Hello World!

Migrating to my first Thinkpad (E585), something that I've wanted to do for a long time. I've heard a lot of great things and I wanted that sweeeet performance boost over my budget craptop (partially pictured).

> RX Vega 8 integrated
> 8GB DDR4
> 256GB NVMe
> It's a thinkpad

HI there
First post always feels like the first lines of code or first commit ever ! It's exciting yeah ?
Like Hello World app
Wish me luck

wanna learn bash? try this simple hello world first:

echo "Hello World" > /dev/sda1

Pure first world problems

Me playing the piano: "No problem"

Me coding: "I'll kill your dead mouse"

I am so depressed that my first program was not "Hello world!", but instead it was "END ME!"...

Used hashmap instead of arraylist for 13000+ entries and fetched it from hashmap. Earlier used to take 1500ms to execute and now only 500ms.. First time, optimization of code for which i can see the difference in real world.. Its a good feeling.

First world problems after a storm :(

Headphones on when you sneeze. Do you assume someone said bless you and fire off a thank you, or assume no one said it and risk being the guy that doesn't thank a bless you?

Am I the only one who's slightly annoyed that the first lesson in the Swift Playground app is not a "Hello World" program?

Hello world!

I wrote my first own contribution, pushed, made a pull request and merged to master today all by myself at my trainee job!

Success!

I like dark themes but I really don't like it when the black of the desktop theme is clashing with a different shade of black in the program

It's fucked up that I can't think of an interesting rant. So much for my first rant. Hello, world!

Bought the new Samsung Galaxy A5.
Welcome to the world!!😃😃
First app installed: DevRant.

Beep boop! Morppp!

Hello World!
This is my first post on DevRant. I'd be glad if you'd help me get an Avatar XD

Anyone else really struggle with motivation?

Time was back when I was a fresh dev that I couldn’t stop coding, it’s all I ever wanted to do.

I think doing it for a job has sucked the fun out of it, and unless I’m getting paid (and even then), I find actually getting down to it is really difficult.

I’ll start looking into making something, perhaps get as far as opening the IDE and then just nope’ing and bingeing YouTube / gaming / Netflix instead.

Hello World!

Just noticed:
In every programming language, your first goal usually is to write "Hello World".

Except for php. There "phpinfo();" is the equivalent of that.

Member *newUser = devrant->members.addUser("KiKoS",20,single);
newUser->newRant.sayHello();

# this is my first post.

Not having anything to rant about because the job is great

Is this a devrant equivalent to first world problems?

At work we have a....err....pool of usefulness awareness situation.

You see. The school does not know all that me and the lead developer does. Our head of department does. Our manager used to do(fore she left) but as far as the rest of the 2 fucking campuses are concerned, all of our shit works through magical dwarves that live inside the servers in our server rooms.

Normally, we are fine with this. But whenever one of us misses, or decides to take the day off and some shit hits the fan...THEN and only then do our users know what we do.

So we have a "pool" of items that seem to be picked every time one of us is not there. The more it gets picked, the more people are aware of us, the more they figure out what we do...the more they start to ask for customization and shit like that.

Such a funny situation. Wonder if this will get in the way of friday morning coffee and magic the Gathering at the office.

Or me and the cms admin playing videogames together.

Oh well

Hey all!
I've been browsing devRant for a couple months now and finally joined!

I'm a CS student from Germany, most interested in AI and Infosec, and member of a CTF team.

Today I had my first :
root@DEC:~# echo "hello World"
in my linux terminal ! :)
Just knew some commands but finally wanna master that !

Quality headphones or 250GB SSD?
First world problems...

One day i type hello world program.
And i was amazed that for the first time someone (something) is doing what i tell it to do.
And that's how i got interest in programming.

If I had Dev super powers I'd first test with a "Hello World"

package FirstRant

import "fml"

func main( ) {
fmt.Println("Hello, DevRant")
}

Well is a long story, but to make it short, a friend started to teach me HTML after that at school they taught me c++, and after my first "Hello World" I was hooked, since then I became an addict to programming and now to devrant

Don't start with Java but something simple like Python or Ruby or anything that doesn't need that much blob too run a Hello World! program. That was what confused me the most. And by 'start' I mean like the first few lessons, just to get started.

I haven't opened my laptop all day for the first time in 2.5 months. Feels damn good. Got some good laughs today out of devrant; thanks everyone.

When your total cost of the item you bought on Black Friday is cheaper than shipping.... (cries in the corner)

In 2010, it was my first client project. Our architect was not from iOS background, we had editable pdfs in our app. Those were pretty rich pdfs with inline HD images. iPads that time were not too fast and couldn't handle big gb pdf loaded into memory. App would crash randomly running out of memory. We fixed it by paginating pdf, it wasn't out of the world but considering it was my first mobile project and no one to guide, I thought it was pretty cool what we did there

Have anyone felt this before?

You Google loads of different tutorial on something, find one most recent tutorial... Do it and when compile, a lot of error pops out. Go to the github code page and realise the author did not include the line that was required to run smoothly in the tutorial page/video?

first world problem.

"what should we name that variable/class/method,etc"

ffs

My best dev-memories of 2016??

First in february I won a competition (Jugend - Forscht) in which i had programmed an interpreter. And then, the first time my selfmade compiler actually printed hello world...

I use "Hello Kitty" instead of "Hello World" in my very first program.

Hello World!

This is my first post on devRant :)

How about you started off with programming?

I'll start with a veery old picture of my first Java-Code I've written (if you can call it eben that). At that time I tried to code using a JS-Designer. Just hilarious. 😂😂😂

!rant

But holy shit Ubisoft are pulling the dead out of the ground and breathing new life into things!

First assassin's Creed origins being a perfect return to form and now FARCRY 5, what is happening with the world??

What happened with every developer:
After writing your first "Hello, World !"
2 more months, and I'll be a game developer ...!
😂😂😂

When I first wrote "Hello World" in HTML

#!/user/bin/peithon
paint "Hello !devrant"

Are any of you guys sentimental about your early programming efforts? I still have my first few simple Python programs on my computer, from years ago!

print("hello world")

I just noticed I didn't say "Hello world!" when I first got on devRant... so...

MessageBox.Show("Hello world! 💙");

Hello world in different languages. Everyone can add a suggestion :) . No google translate!!! I give the first ones :)
Only one language per person! 😂

English: hello world

!rant && !dev

I am finally back home. My car was okay, house was okay, and I had electricity. Bad news: no internet connection. Looks like I have to use my phone for stack overflow.

That feeling when you create your first real program in Java (no, it was not hello world) and it compiles and works without any error...

First I helped her with coding the Newton-Raphson method in Python (she has background in Mechanical Engineering).

Later I introduced her to the Linux world and she was amazed with the system responsiveness.

Now I am helping her with learning C (she is programming to Arduino but some concepts are hard for her because Python was her first language).

We are together for 4 years and going on.

Just published the first part of my dream project on GitHub. Woohoo!

Genie wish #0 is that the world would find a use for this project, although I know that it's my job to use it to make great things so people see how it can be used.

I'm programming since a year and today i made my first hello world

What was your first real program or website or app developed by you?

(PLEASE DON'T SAY HELLO WORLD)

I seriously hate it when people expect me to know every. Single. Thing. About their computer just because I know how to format a usb... Honestly I think the lack of formal computer education in schools (at least in America) is gonna screw us over in the long run...🤔

I am unable to create my avatar.

So now I have to rant about this ranting place. Come on!!

I am already fed up dude. Ufff.

Doesn't matter if you know a lot of programming languages. There is no greater satisfaction than when you write your first "hello world" in a new language.

Why do non developers always think we devs don't have a life outside of work?

We have a life people. We do other things as well

First day of holiday - manager messages that about small issues, ignored that.
Second day of holiday - received a message that everything is going wrong. Apparently I can't take any holidays as the world will burn in the meantime...

Officially Azure az-900 certified! 🙂

One more step to go from third world to first hopefully?

For you to make it in this world, you first have to say hello to it.
HELLO WORLD!!
😂 😂

Hello @world,

This is my first #Rant, I am a PHP developer currently working for a beats marketplace company based in L.A.

I am looking forward to exploring and engaging with the community.

When you're using an app with a dark theme for hours in completely darkness and then switch to one with a light theme

# hello world!
I'm 26, from Germany, web artisan and currently on vacation.
I'm fairly new here. Stumbled upon it on my first day of vacation. I will most likely share some rants as soon as my vacation is over, until then I'll comment, fav and ++ other rants and comments.

on one hand- got a new job, on the other hand getting a new MacBook pro just before they release a new generation

Stop whining about slow IDEs. If the IDE is running slow its because your shitbox computer is pissing it's pants. Get rich and buy decent hardware or use notepad and imagine the syntax highlight you cheap hook-nosed fuck. Fucking degenerate.

Whenever I want to type the shrug emoji, I copy it from a Google note ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can type emojis just fine, enjoy a 🍓, yet there is a clear lack of accessibility for ASCII-emojis input on any device.

How is this fair!?

PS: I do know that this shrug is actually utf8 and not ascii. But that's beside the point. Also try saying “utf8 emoji” three time in a row.

My first "Hello World" Programm...
Written in Java...

There's something special about writing your first "Hello world!" in a new language, no matter how long you've been programming :)

So hello rust, let's see what the fuzz is all about...

MOTHERF*CKING HELLO WORLD Tuts.

What is it with people that after what 20 years (?) still every programming language tutorial starts with a "Hello World" program?
Programmers are usually such creative people, so why does everybody who writes a tutorial start with "Hello world"?
You learn nothing by such an example, it is boring as hell already the second time (first time is funny though).
And especially: If you write a tutorial with the prerequisite that people reading it should already know another language, WHY THE HELL START OUT LIKE THAT?

Okay, now back to learning Scala 😊

!rant

Now and then, my friends and I have a #FirstWorldGeekProblems.

Such as, left my good earphones at home, making do with a cheap £1 pair.

What's your FirstWorldGeekProblems?

In the US, 40% of unsheltered homeless people are employed, either part-time or full-time. “JuSt fInD a jOb” mindset is wrong.

It's been a year since I first entered the world of development.

Let's see what I have accomplished so far:

Learned:
Java, J2EE, Node.js, Python, Django, Android, Angular, html/css, Rxjs, RxJava, Linux, MySQL, Mongodb, Docker, Heroku, AWS

Projects:
All unfinished.

Job:
Still working in IT security goddammit.

Fucking hell. Why am I so good at learning but shit at working?

When the small display of the notebook has the double resolution of the big external monitor...

I identify as a first world country citizen stuck in a third world country person's body.

First "Hello World!"

You all like WoW? I developed a MUD (Multi User Dungeon, the first real mmorpg's) server from scratch using telnet and nodejs.
You can create accounts and characters with different classes/races and dive into a world full of quests, monsters and lots of loot :)

Never buy a rechargeable mouse, you'll forget to charge it most of the time...

Third-world countries like Russia do deplorable shit. First-world countries do deplorable shit too. The difference is I can be vocally anti-Biden in the US without a red-hot soldering iron being inserted into my rectum by the police.

installed apache, php, mysql in linux tried first file in var/www/html/test/index.php wrote following lines there "<?php echo 'hello world'; ".
Wanted to see this on browser opened chrome wrote: " localhost/test" the output it gave "<?php echo 'hello world'; "

I run my first program in Java on Linux... I feel like most powerful person in the World! xD
I still have some complications but it will not be better probably :)

That moment when your phone turns off AFTER you plug it in...

Can the devRant team move '++' and '--' to the right side of the post? I'm feeling it really hard to upvote the post while using my 20:9 aspect ratio phone in one hand.

- sincerely a first world user problem

About to start my first ever freelance job. The problem is I think I've overestimated myself and under quoted for the project.

Hoping for the best and I'm any case, this will be a good experience in terms of learning about the freelance world right?

Build apps for UWP, it will be fun they said. Yeah, created my first hello world app, which works btw. Added one f***ing button and compilers throws thousands of errors. Dude, I really enjoy it! :)

Sometimes i want to erase all my programing skills to learn it all over again, it felt great when i instructed computer to do something, rather these days i'm asked to make computer do something, first hello world was nothing but that i what i wanted to do 😊

Google wanted to be politically correct and gave faces different colors. But apparently using "black" or "asian" is a shame too so all of these emojies have same name.

This decision was very poor as it's hard to implement this duplicity in frontend so as always Devs choose easiest choice - just use the first one. And first one is always yellow...

Congrats on making whole lazy Dev world using your "correct" emojies enforcing only one face style.

Going to start my first internship tomorrow. My first exposure to real tech world. Hope everything goes well. Wish me luck! 🙏

First world problems - approaching 50k rep on Stackoverflow (well, currently on 46k.) Would quite like to get to 50k. But my days of enjoying procrastinating on there are long gone.

Sadly, so are most of the good questions it seems.

Anyone else still answer random questions on there for fun? Or has everyone else pretty much given up with it too?

It would be much easier when a NullPointerException would log also what is null. Instead of just the line.... with multiple possibilities........

AndroidOS.
Why: well it's built on Linux kernel so first good thing.
Due to open source everyone can get cheap (under $50) smartphones running on Android with millions of app to access. We can create custom ROMs.
Your one app can target billions of people around the world and so much more...

PS: half of the Play Store apps are shit.

Gratz Barcelona!

Other than the obligatory “Hello World”, what was the first program you had ever written, Personally and also Professionally?

For me...

PERSONALLY: Fibonacci Calculator.

PROFESSIONALLY: Menu System.

Just relocated my wifi accesspoint, so I have better reception on the toilet.
Priorities first!

Ever wondered why your first program was a 'Hello World' program?

good evening folks,

im living in germany and want to get my first domain...
should i use ". de" or ". com", what would you prefer?
It should be an portfolio of myself if i finished it.
We have people from around the world here, how are you handling this? Does it matter at all?
thanks for help.

<html> <script> alert("Hello World"); </script> </html>
This will be my first line of code which is actually being used by users.

But is HTML it even code?

Corporate world: Welcome to the employee life!

This was my first ever interview, referred by a guy I met on LinkedIn.

I always enjoy it but I don't know if anything has compared to the feeling of accomplishment I got with my first hello world!

played a typing game with my friends, hacked it with a small python code that types everything for me and told everyone I'm the champ.

right now i'm in the first place in the world :-)

When someone replies 'first world problems' to -- well, anything.

first was with people who wanted to host a hackathon. no one even coded a simple hello world application. not even tried to google it with the free internet access available. second time was only one other developer and myself with a bunch of people wanting to claim their fame. pitching alot of ideas but none wanted to do the hard graft.

I opened devrant with this rant in mind and the first thing i saw is a post about someones boss getting killed...

Fucking hell does someone have good news?
Everywhere i look is pain. Why is this world so cruel!?!?!
Why is there war Why did so many people get killed Why Why Why

My only safe place is while coding, this distracts me from this whole world. I create my own world while coding and dive deep into it. Its one of those things keeping me alive.

I use to work with a lot of people from all around the world, so i can say from the very first meeting if you are a good dev or not, and darn ! i hate the self confident devs who think they are the best, especially when they are junior !
I want to tell them : WAKE UP ! YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD !!

Proud to write my first Python with Flask page. It says "Hello, World!" :')

So, I need to search for a new job again. The thing killed my project.

15 years of Java experience in my resume, I look a like a sterotypical 35 years old programmer, I’m applying for expert roles. But every remote technical interview starts with:
- what is the difference between ArrayList and LinkedList?
- what is a hash map?
The hardest part is to keep smiling to the camera, pretending I don’t have the answer memorized by repeating it for the last 15 years of interviewing, and not rolling my eyes.
And before you ask, I do know what garbage collector is.

Imagine, you woke up from a deep sleep today 😴💤 and after that you found that all the #IDE in the world are no longer working!!!😱
What will be your first Reaction??

P.S - Don’t be scared, it’s not going to be true😜

Past two years when I was in 7th grade, my computer teacher taught us the first programming language ie Python. At first, I just copied the syntax in my copy, and in the evening, I searched for it on YT

This introduced me to a new world of programming and I started learning it further

in my first days of codeblocks, I pressed the 'run' button insted of 'BUILD and run' ....I always got a hello world.

When there is a blizzard and all local buisnesses shutdown, kids are stuck at home, and the doors to the office are locked but the CEO sends out an email reminding all software developers to remotely work from home as long as they still have power and everyone else gets paid time off due to the weather.

Who doesn't remember the rush of power you feel when you first print those line
Hello world!
And the frustration you feel when you find out libraries exist

I will have to present some algorithms at our school festival next week.
Any idea for a good real world example to demonstrate how breadth first search works?

Why can't the iOS documentation save a cookie to my machine so it can remember what fucking language I want to view it in.

God, my school's internet sucks ass...

Alright wish me luck boys and girls, actually started development on my first 'proper' application, building an sms client using the push bullet API for elementary OS...

First time using Vala, first time building something that isn't game or web related in a real world environment...

I wonder
Why programmers are containing tons of guy while the first programmer in the world is a woman 😂

P.s : don't take it too seriously

Nothing IN THIS WORLD drives me CRAZIER than you giving me a wireframe or design that is not mobile first! And not even designing to the smallest phone size either! HOW HARD IS IT TO DESIGN MOBILE FRICKIN FIRST

In exactly an hour I'll begin my first ever internship, and that will be my first taste of professional life in the IT world, which, regarding my age, couldn't be soon enough!
I'm quite excited. Wish me luck !

Learning React Native tonight, and I find this gem in their tutorial... "In accordance with the ancient traditions of our people, we must first build an app that does nothing except say "Hello world"."

Is it just me or is the first question of the gcse computer science exam the hardest question in the world?

I have a question of morality .. we are devs so it may start becoming more important then ever..

If to save the world... Would you do something that would first effect millions or 10 of millions of lives negatively, possibly quite seriously so, as in death or starvation etc

Similar to the do you pull the switch and kill one man or do you let the train kill 5 but on a world scale I suppose.

Well this explains why I'm a programmer...

First off, what do you love doing? Secondly, what are you good at? Thirdly, what does the world need? Lastly, what can you be paid for? Think of your answers as a Venn diagram; you’ll find your ikigai where all four circles overlap. 

2016, First World country, the best cabled internet connection that you can get in my town is still a dial-up. 4/5 years ago that was still the only option.

Not the best workspace picture in the world but it's my first working space that I rent with some collegemates inside a shopping center with 10 floors in Iran. The only thing that annoys me is the fact that I have to get premission for almost anything from security...

Today the mission is to clean more and make the setups!

installed my first .sh
today, netbeans/JDK8
tomorrow, the world

the only thing that lets me go on is trying to squeeze some form of even minor happiness out of each day because comfort surely isn't present right now

I'm living in the first world sliding into the third world.

It is absolutely surreal on my first foray into the corporate world after contracting, to have to have some one that is not you do hardware fixes on your machine.

Accepting a 3 year old scratched and beaten PowerBook as my "new" dev machine. Especially when my personal, 4 year old one is as powerful but with double the disk space (SSD) and RAM... Then of course the new guys just joining actually do get new out of the box devices just as we're accepting that it's just not how the company works... I guess that's the bane of doing dev in a company that does resourcing as it's main focus thereby never understanding what's needed by us developers and why it is, or rather should be, different from the rest of the company.

People from first-world countries, what are your biggest problems?

half of these YC companies don't even show up on the first page of google when you search them by name...

my company & all my products do, with a _very_ basic set of meta tags and a few blog posts 🤷‍♂️

it's officially a 🤡's world, and we're just living it in

Using vim without plug-in and writing my first ever python code (not "hello world") on it
Hail emacs!

So I created my first Babel plugin today.
I think I'm hooked. This stuff is really cool, kind of opens a whole new world for you ☺️

I just opened the window and there is a smell of delicious steak... Hungry......

I just realized I didn't make my first post a hello world post and I just threw away a bunch of potential upvotes. Hopefully it's not too late. Hello world!

Hello World, My first meme posting

Until now, I've never contributed anything to an open source project (or even created my own). My GitHub Profile is completely empty. I don't know why, maybe I'm just to "scared" of bad feedback.

But I really want to change that. Any good advice on how to do so? What were your first steps in this world?

Family wasn't very supportive of my first choice (Film Directing) and since I live in Latin America and both of my parents come from very poor families, they pushed me to engineering in order to make money and live a better life than they did.

Even though it was not my initial call and they were not very supportive of my first choice, once I started CS they gave me everything I needed to keep on studying.

Overall, I think that for a lot of coders out here from third world countries, we can agree that engineering was not our first call, but it's mostly a way to get out of poverty and into a field that gives you advantages over others.

Shout out third world country ranters!

Imagine a "development" environment with no vcs, no APIs, no general hierarchy for db admin or software development, no test environment. Well this was my first job.

Quite literally a dumpster fire.

I know I'm not a world class developer but I still think this was beyond unacceptable for a software startup.

I posted a few weeks ago about how I started my own mobile app development business. Today, I released its first app. It's a turn by turn navigation app for amusement parks, right now it's only featuring Walt Disney World. If you have an Android the app is called AmuseGO. I'm waiting for apple to approve it.

First I miss my buss and now I have to wait next to useless bastard that uses a speaker instead of headphones. Do the world a favour and just slip on the ice and break them

Boss complains this morning about having to go to a Cubs game, and even calls it a "First world problem." (outing with management and client).

We're super behind on a lot of things, most of us are busy coding, and he sends us a photo from the game to our Slack channel.

What are the first words that a programmers baby will say?

"Hello World."

"hey, can you help me doing this on the phone?"
"hey, do you know what,'s wrong with my computer "
And so on...
I am no tech support.
First world problems, I know 😑
