I find it hard to trust code school's courses when they use green as the color for error.

My girlfriend saw me coding in XCode.
GF: What are you doing?
Me: Ahmm. Coding.
GF: *saw the colors in every line of code
GF: That's easy. You just need to follow the color pattern. Green, Blue, Red and Yellow.
Me:

Welcome to 2017:

Facebook = Blue Snapchat
Whatsapp = Green Snapchat
Instagram = AllPossibleColors Snapchat

Ps: First rant **yayy**

I know someone from Uni who used a green text on red background IDE to make sure the colourblind person sat next to him couldn't copy his code...

7 red lines, all perpendicular to each other, some drawn with green or transparent ink.

Our current designer is convinced that 00FF44 bright green fits well with the rest of our soft purple/blue color scheme.

I am not a designer, but have worked in a color laboratory, so I've tried time and time again to explain CIE LAB color space, and how at least HCL is a good way to pick & group colors into palettes by using 2-3 luminances for equidistant hues while keeping chroma constant.

I've tried to tell him that the bright green almost physically makes my eyes bleed, because humans are quite sensitive to greens.

He just keeps using the phrase "but it makes the buttons pop nicely".

I just want to pop his skull open with my keyboard. 😫

When I said make that text italic, I didn’t mean to make it green, white, and red. That’s Italian.

should I go or stop? 🤔

So I have implemented all the features required for the current release. Carefully reviewed my code several times, but no testing.

Tester: everything passed green. Not sure whether you're a good dev or I'm a bad tester.

Me: let's call it a draw.

When your friends think that viewing/changing source code of a website is hacking...

Idiots. For it to be hacking it has to be green and black of course...

Went into Facebook's source code to update the colors from blue to green and black (don't judge me) and saw this in the console log lol. Didn't know people were that gullible...

I hate RGB. I write #C0FF1E but dont get a creamy espresso brown. Getting a puke green instead. Fukk.

We hired a new team lead. On his first day he wore green leather elf shoes. Yeah, the pointy kind.

He also ended up being one of my favorite people ever, but also one of the weirdest.

I don't need coffee to code.
Will the society accept me?

So I take an English test at work last week. Today I got the results and I found this at the end. ( context: I’m a humble Peruvian trying to get better at English :) )

"We care about your privacy [...]"

That's why we make it ultra inconvenient to turn off all of our advertising trackers and give you a broken list of on/off sliders that are slow as fuck. Also, why not just press the 'accept all' at the top of the page? See that big green button? Yeah green is good let's just press it and get this over with right?

Oh and that 'deny all' button? Yeah, a shame nobody actually put some programming into that thing, why not just press the green button next to it? You're only making it harder for yourself y'know...

When the green bar fills up... isn't that supposed to mean "complete"?

Why even have a progress bar if it's not tied to actual progress?

#justwindowsthings

Keeping some commits for after midnight so I get an extra little green square on GitHub.

Rebuttal to all these beautiful wiring closet shots. This was taken at my first internship in 2002. As green as I was, I still knew this was awful.

(Pardon the low fidelity; it's a snap of a 14 year old printout!)

My life have just started to be green

when you open devRant and in the menu u see this pretty pretty green thingy with numbers inside..

I'm guessing someone at Microsoft is color blind :)

Got inspired by a rant and got something to make my desk at work more green.
What should I name him/her?

These green ticks always make me smile :)

The office asked us to wear RED OR GREEN coloured clothes today for Christmas, so I'm gonna wear yellow.

You: working on a terminal with a black background and green foreground
Girl: sees the console "are you a hacker?"
You: 🎶..all around me are familiar faces..🎶

when it's 36*C / 97*F in the city and you pack your laptop into your backpack and flee on to the swiss alps. To work on a new website at a beautiful landscape, on green meadows, cows and agreeable 18*C / 64*F.
And getting payed for this... This is life!

My friend - the admin of the Ancient Tor-relay got a green light from his ISP to activate the Exit policy for his relay again!

Bahnhof is a damn good ISP!

Easy 50$... (l)user brings in a tablet and says she’s got a virus.... okay.

(L)user - “I have a virus, I can’t click on anything and there’s a green box around everything.”

Me - *turns off TalkBack* here you go, all fixed.

Got fired today because I didn't make our websites theme green.

If Trump was a dev:
git commit -m "Make tests green again"

Rose is red,
Violet is blue.
C0FFEE is not brown,
But a mix of green and blue.

My first blue/green screen in 5 years of using windows :o

And I got it while shutting down my PC

Don't want to break your commit streak on Github.
So you change one line and :-
git add .
git commit -m "Minor Tweak"
git push

VOILA ! the box is green for today . *Evil Smile*

The first time I see a train info thing running on linux. Usually they run on windows Xp. Feat. my green shirt.

Ideal (Green line) vs my sprint burndown :(

Some days back before, it was my birthday so I invited my friend who make apps and games with me and I said "lets eat raspberry pi" so he came to my house and said where is the pie. I pointed at the green board at the table. LOL

Scrum:

Boss to designer: sadly the green logo was not chosen and we will go with the purple one.

D: oh good choice, but why green was discarded?

B: green is not enough criptocurrency related.

Me: in my mind: how a color is crypto related... What wut? Procceed to do weird faces, twitch and spasm while I try to sort this out.

Boss see me and beat me (gently!) with an inflatable chicken.

Guys. Green is not crypto.

wow, this is relieving

When you discover #C0FFEE is not a drink but a color.

(Sadly it's not brown but a strange light green)

How I see GPU brands:
- Team blue, Intel:
Oldschool autistic engineers, working GPU but not practical
- Team red, AMD:
Competitive but anarchist, horrid Windows drivers, but good on opensource, anti-mainstream
- Team green, nVidia:
Way too greedy cunts circlejerking each others off during breaks (like Apple employees), delivering on performance, but wayyy overpriced and scammy tactics

THREE FREAKING DAYS ON THIS SAME FREAKING SPEC AND I FINALLY GOT IT TO PASS!

That’s the most beautiful bit of green I’ve seen in months.

How to solve windows Blue Screen Of Death.

Change the color to Green. No more BSOD. :/

How to become a hacker😎
1.Go to the store get a black hoodie, wear it and go infront of the PC.
2.Turn on the PC with WINDOWS😂
3.Change cmd font colour to green.
4.Type the following code in cmd.
ping 192.168.1.1 -c 9999999
5.OK now do that in again and again in 2-3 terminals.Now your desktop is full with black and green😋.
5.Take some pics of it and upload stories😍.
6.OK now your a HACKER😎

Happiness is when you see a green notification aka repo on stackoverflow (^_^)

naked developer day:
Today I'll work from home, sitting completely naked in front of my mac. Only keyboard, mac and me.

It's a huge saving in clothes and energy to clean them

Product name: K.I.D.

Product version: v2

Project duration: 9 months

Deployment to LIFE ETA: within next 24 hours

Tests' status: GREEN

uuhhhh soooo exciting! Hopefully this time deployment tools do not fail, like they did when releasing v1. Thanks God it still ended well.

There is nothing sexier than a well designed CI pipeline....i have wet dreams about that green check mark.

OMG!
First green dot!
Touched moon ;-D

My girlfriend said I have no commitment, I showed her how green my GitHub profile is.
I don't understand understand why she ain't replying my texts.
I'll create an issue.

Just tech screened a kid for a senior Network automation role, in a specific niche.

He's never automated anything before. Didn't know networking basics, didn't know about the niche...

This guy hasn't heard of unit testing or UDP... good luck out there kid. You've got balls anyway.

Does it confuse anyone else that the ++ button turns red? I feel like it should be green...

I hate when this lasts for 30+ minutes......

ARGHHHHHHHHH

Was checking my gitlab account and that Vue add-on turned green, never knew Gitlab uses Vue

You've perhaps heard of Blue Screen Of Death in Windows. But how about GREEN screen of death?

Driver issues goddammit.

I've always had a fetish for progress bars.

My favourite one? The green glowing one from Windows Vista.

All the fuckin servers are green again!!!

Worst black friday specials ever.
I'm really not a fan of the "holiday" anyway, but I found basically nothing I wanted. 🙄

Also: I'm trying to find a nice RGB keyboard with green cherries. Any suggestions on where to look? I've found one site that makes custom keyboards (wasd), but theirs aren't RGB. ☹ I want purple/pink backlighting damnit!

Open nodejs.org

Can you notice that one pixel on the top left side of green banner :-P
I'm not a designer but dude ...

Mood: The Pirate Bay

I just bought an amazing Bluetooth headphone but I'm really FUCKING PISSED because when its charging the led flashes green and when it is charged it flashes some fucking other tone of green and as someone who has daltonism it makes me really fucking frustrated because I can't say tell the difference even if my life depended on it... PLEASE DONT BE THE STUPID CUNT THAT DESIGNS SHIT LIKE THAT! JUST MAKE IT NON COLOR DEPENDANT FOR FUCK SAKE!

Thanks.

OMG! !rant!!!!
I already ranted about the elevator at home being stoooopid for opening doors on way up when you wanna go down..

But our work elevator is awesome!
I figured today that I can play with the authorisation light with the chip for the home elevator.. so from orange to green (work card) to red (home chip) to green to red... OMG!!! Awesome!!

Also the look of horror on coworker's face was priceless (work elevators have a tendency to malfunction as it is, without me playing with them)!!! xD xD xD

This maybe not related.
Since the Dutch population is active in here, I have a question.

Today I was touring around Haarlem, it's a beautiful city but there's this green phone booths stack statue in the city, I loved everything i saw today about it, but still I don't understand why is e=mc2 written wrong "e=cm2" ?

Things I hear when people find out, that i cant see red and green well...

99% WHAT COLOR IS THIS PEN?
1% Oh, well, ok...
FFS ppl ITS ANNOYING!

Teacher: You should plant trees at least on your birthdays. Go green.
Me: I do it daily Sir! Check my Github, its really green.

:D

"Ok can you make the background color black and the font green?"
"Sure"
"Okay now a 3D WebGL game but build from scratch"

Shitty-Clent-side: Onclick of submit button, send request to server
Server: Responds with a 500 error.
Shitty-Client-Side: change "Submit" to "Submitted" and backgroumd color to green(because UX is important and error handling can go to hell)

People love fast moving green text with a black background.

I have linux on my laptop and I have a script (litturally just 1 line) that outputs random hex data to the command line.

I ran it while WebStorm was starting up and I had people instantly telling me to shutdown all the pcs on the network xDD

Just bought a green foldable bicycle. 😊 Trying to learn how to master biking straight then will learn how to turn.

Let's scale this problem down

I've been dragged out of the house by my parents cos it's bank holiday.... I'm now in a place called a Guar-denn center looking at green stuff??! Reminds me of grass from Skyrim but it's too detailed..... And it's sunny too....

And I'm 30... FML

Ads are no longer in green

Purple, Ahh yes, the nice colour purple... dont you love looking at something and thinking, "Wow, thats some nice purple"

well, I fucking dont, fuck that piece of shit colour, I FUCKING HATE PURPLE, why?
BECAUSE IT DOESNT FUCKING EXIST! FUCK PURPLE, FUCK IT, ITS FUCKING BLUE! THERE IS NO FUCKING PURPLE!

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE! IT DOESNT FUCKING EXIST! THERE IS BLUE AND RED, BUT. THERE. IS. NO. FUCKING. PURPLE!

And dont get me started on brown, that nice brown chocolate, these coffee beans...
IF IT WOULDNT LOOK LIKE DARK-GREEN I WOULDNT FUCKING HATE IT! WHY DOES IT EVEN EXIST!

(if your wondering, yes. I have a red-green colour deficiency)

It's sad. When developers create the application and ONLY know how to lunch it by clicking that green button in the IDE, having no clue how to package and launch it properly...

it makes me sad.

Now I'm supposed to dockerize an application no one knows how to launch outside the IDE.

Everything green and ready for deployment

When I was about 13, I opened up command prompt on Windows, and changed the color of it to green then ran the tree command. So, not thinking of anything, this was in the library in front of about 60 people and 2 teachers.

All others saw was green text going down fast, and instantly presumed that I was hacking since they knew I was into coding and finding exploits, and just knew how to use a computer better than them in simple terms (HACKER MAN). Thus this lead to me getting sent to the principal's office... I almost got suspended cause I ran the tree command in green.

Two questions for me remain unanswered, that I would love to know. What would've happened if command prompt was printing text in red. Another question becomes, what would've happened if people saw me pinging Google or some popular site.

Just got a new monitor (HKC NB34C) and connected it to my PC (which didn't have a monitor at the time)

The first thing I see is a green screen of death because of a power outage during a Windows insiders update.

Building a product from scratch is a fucking nightmare.

Teams building such products should be given a green pass to the heaven.

I love it to maintain old unit tests which were not executed for about 5 years. 2/197 are green (╯ ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)╯┻━┻

Watching Limitless on Netflix and I just love the "hacker" code animation loops with multiple terminals open going on in the background xD

“Does god exist?”, I typed into a green terminal window after granting GPT-7 root access to our grid. “…now it does”, echoed from every speaker.

On Monday i have a Skype Interview.
Now i've bought a green screen because i thought that would be fun for showing my design stuff live as a virtual webcam. But this stupid Java 6 SE "Chroma Key Live" programm does not recognise any camera... and it's so ugIy... I hate java gui's.... :-/

YESSS!!!! IT'S GREEN!!! FINALLYYYY!!!!!!!!

3 weeks ago I started building this CI pipeline. Finally, I see something GREEN!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

P.S. A complete build requires 23GB of disk space, lasts 1h40m, and artifacts are too big to be cached, so everything must be shoved into a single CI job.

You've gotta love building monoliths...

Simple sidescroller made in Unity featuring a little green pixel dragon.

And the fun thing is that the dragon is awfully similar to the Docusaurus logo. (see below image)

So... what?

FB stole my idea. (lol)

And I am not releasing my dragon cuz people will shout at ME who seems to plagiarised FB.

Why are whitespace called whitespace? I bet the first was displayed on consoles with black or green backgrounds.

Using sass variables like:
$color-green-00ff00-used-in-header-only: #00ff00;

There are always three questions i get asked when i tell people I'm a programmer:

Can you take a look at my phone/laptop/pc etc...?

Can you hack?

Whats the green stuff from matrix?

Whoever said green tea helps you lose weight was right.
I accidentally spilled some on my laptop, and I can't work properly now because I've to replace the keyboard and spare parts are expensive (at least for my model).
And it'll take 3 weeks to arrive!
So with the stress of projects and deadlines piling up, yup, I'm losing weight alright!
Green tea !FTW

I was bored, so I made a quick devRantron theme based on the green, black and violet found in Maniac Mansion. Its just a quick work, but it works for me.

Here is the string: #000000, #000000, #6ad070, #000000, #6ad070, #d37eee

Reading a lot of articles and never testing any of the technologies.

Thinking about making this into a terminal that accepts a serial connection from my IBM 5150 PC for that Chroma Green authentic text based experience. ;)

Seriously though. How awesome would it be to use a circa 1981 IBM 5150 as your terminal? Lol!

Today I chmodded -R 777 /
It started blurting out permission denieds on my /proc/ dir and i aborted after staring at it for a sec. It was hella scary, almost broke a server at work. But it still works and ll / only shows 6 green dirs. *Awkward laugh* 🙄

After some hardcore coding days I notice: Wait a minute.. I had no coffee. How was that fucking possible? I mean the tests ran green. The client was happy and..

.. and then I woke up.

Started to redesign my wifes website into grid-layout with SASS. It is fun and I save a lot of markup HTML.
I try to keep the green theme, but I realy suck at design... I just have no eye for colors. I rather would keep everything white and grey...

Sprint planning meeting discussing UI:
Customer: - Wouldn't that confuse the user?
Senior Dev: - Yes but it will take less development time.
Me (junior): ...

My first project it’s an emotional roller coaster. I was a little trainee/ junior dev at my job with a little more than a month learning RoR and one day my tech lead receives an email from the big boss saying: “We got a big client who wants a total redesign of his web and we said yes we can do it in a month, so please check if anything it’s reusable”, after reading my tech lead said to me “Do you want to help me with this ?” And well, we spend like 2-3 hours checking all the controllers, views, assets, etc. We conclude that the project was mostly front end changes and the back end will stay the same, so yeah it can be done in a month. The next day in a meeting with all the team I was nominee to be the person in charge of that project, because it was an easy project and all my teammates hate to do front end stuff, so I take the challenge. After that I met the Project Manager, another guy who recently start as PM about a month, so yeah we were two new guys who need to handle the project of a big client, nothing can go wrong. We did the planing, I give an estimation ( first one in my life ) for the tasks and added like 4 hours in case anything goes wrong. Then the first sprint came by, and I couldn’t finish it because the time given to some features was to low and the “design” was a mockup made by the PM, ok, no problems, we add more time to the tasks and we ask for a real design. At the half of the sprint the client start adding more and more stuff, the PM doesn’t talk back, just say yes yes yes. Then in a blink of an eye the easy project became a three months projects with no design at all, two devs ( a new guy who recently begin as dev enter the project ), just mockups and good hopes. But somehow we did it, we finish it! Nope. The early Monday of the next week I received an email of the PM saying we would have a second version and the estimation of the tech lead was a minimum of six months ( that became 8 months). This time was hell, because the client doesn’t decide what the hell he wants so a task would take a couple of days more or so, the PM became the personal bitch of the client, but it wasn’t his fault, because we later knew that the company became partner with this client and because of that the PM didn’t have too much choice :/, the designs were cool, but they weren’t on time ever, our only design guy had to do designs to our project and another 5 projects of the company, so yeah, we weren’t the only ones suffering. At the end we survive, the project was done and the client somehow was happy. Of course the project didn’t end and it was terminated half a year later, but I’ll always remember it because thanks to this project I was given the opportunity to work as a Front end dev and I’m happy still working as one.

*git status*

OMG. What are these green texts on the screen? Am I officially a HAXXOR?

TIL:

- AWK was based on egrep, and the idea was borrowed from sed - an extended sed of sorts

- My cat really loves green onions. She's chewing on her third as I write this.

What an interesting day, full of curious discoveries.

Just merged a PR, all checks were green and it was reviewed and approved by me and another dev.
Had a great big ‘do not merge’ label on it...

Disregarding completely the anonimity factor...!

Guys vuejs conf in Amsterdam is happening tomorrow! If you are attending and see three guys with green t shirt with pulilab written on it just approach us!

We can't wait to meet some fellow ranters

When you're doing a demo and switch to a workspace with a green-on-black terminal with tmux on it, sending requests in a while loop and polling some output every second.

And then people (mostly devs) start posting Matrix memes in the meeting chat

Feels good :)

This always reminds me that what's a casual tool for me, for others it may be an esoteric unicorn-magic-powered super geeky stuff.

I look at my GitHub profile and I see when I have writer's block and fits of inspiration.

I need more green squares!

I wouldn't be here on GitHub everyday if it wasn't for these green tiles that attracts not only employers, but yourself. Wish the monthly was still a little bit cheaper for us outside the US.

Going around the building of a large mega corp telling all my internal customers their projects are going from "green" to "red" because I had a layoff meeting later that morning.
Ever see adults cry because their "favorite developer" was getting sacked and they would not see their project in time, or at worse, canceled?

Someone mentioned being frustrated with people who answer "either/or" questions with "yes". I figured out why. They are not human. They are a robot and their processing of language is failing.

A simple question:
Q: The car is red or the car is green?
A: Yes

Breakdown:
The car is red. Yes, True
The car is green. No, False
The car is red OR the car is green.
True OR False
True || False = True
True = Yes

So they dissected the language like a computer treating "or" as a logical OR. This proves they are a robot pretending to be human. They failed the Turing test.

So yeah, apparently there is a drawback of covering your code with tests.

It becomes too scary to execute them because 1 of those 310 tests might fail. Seeing that not all the tests are green - that could be a nightmare.

Every time I run my tests I look away. There's just too much tension.. The more tests - the scarier

I would describe the test project i inherited as a watermelon test suite,

Green on the outside..............................

Red on the inside

Started a new job last week. Pays a tad below average for position, but i get training time and budget for anything i want.
So far i have had few days of company introduction, and now a week for training courses related to position.
I have not seen any code yet, brought no value in, just joined.
Massive green flag to me.

First week in a new job left me wanting to work there more.

No mails from old place. Strange. I've left them just as two completely green guys were to come for the first time.

Well, not my problem.

just finished Copying ~1 TB of Osu! Song and Skins. took about 45 Minutes with this puny WD Green HDD.

Don't ask how many song i have.

thanks wine, now my text can be teal blue, pea green or piss yellow instead of shades of gray like it's supposed to be

Is your code green?

I've been thinking a lot about this for the past year. There was recently an article on this on slashdot.

I like optimising things to a reasonable degree and avoid bloat. What are some signs of code that isn't green?

* Use of technology that says its fast without real expert review and measurement. Lots of tech out their claims to be fast but actually isn't or is doing so by saturation resources while being inefficient.
* It uses caching. Many might find that counter intuitive. In technology it is surprisingly common to see people scale or cache rather than directly fixing the thing that's watt expensive which is compounded when the cache has weak coverage.
* It uses scaling. Originally scaling was a last resort. The reason is simple, it introduces excessive complexity. Today it's common to see people scale things rather than make them efficient. You end up needing ten instances when a bit of skill could bring you down to one which could scale as well but likely wont need to.
* It uses a non-trivial framework. Frameworks are rarely fast. Most will fall in the range of ten to a thousand times slower in terms of CPU usage. Memory bloat may also force the need for more instances. Frameworks written on already slow high level languages may be especially bad.
* Lacks optimisations for obvious bottlenecks.
* It runs slowly.
* It lacks even basic resource usage measurement.

Unfortunately smells are not enough on their own but are a start. Real measurement and expert review is always the only way to get an idea of if your code is reasonably green.

I find it not uncommon to see things require tens to hundreds to thousands of resources than needed if not more.

In terms of cycles that can be the difference between needing a single core and a thousand cores.

This is common in the industry but it's not because people didn't write everything in assembly. It's usually leaning toward the extreme opposite.

Optimisations are often easy and don't require writing code in binary. In fact the resulting code is often simpler. Excess complexity and inefficient code tend to go hand in hand. Sometimes a code cleaning service is all you need to enhance your green.

I once rewrote a data parsing library that had to parse a hundred MB and was a performance hotspot into C from an interpreted language. I measured it and the results were good. It had been optimised as much as possible in the interpreted version but way still 50 times faster minimum in C.

I recently stumbled upon someone's attempt to do the same and I was able to optimise the interpreted version in five minutes to be twice as fast as the C++ version.

I see opportunity to optimise everywhere in software. A billion KG CO2 could be saved easy if a few green code shops popped up. It's also often a net win. Faster software, lower costs, lower management burden... I'm thinking of starting a consultancy.

The problem is after witnessing the likes of Greta Thunberg then if that's what the next generation has in store then as far as I'm concerned the world can fucking burn and her generation along with it.

When you see that green highlighted

OK ( # tests, # assertions)

Wish It was as green as a rain forest.

Why on gods green earth, would anybody look at a file with 20k lines, which clearly was made by something called WEBPACK and decide it's the right place to implement their changes for the next few years?!?

when youre working on a API and every testCase is all green plus manual testing thru Postman extension is all good..

then makes a web app use that API, authorization works as intended but the token is immedially invalid...

just..how..

Just started using GitHub for my Uni assignment. Summer is coming up and I hope to get a lot more green on here with some projects.

does anyone else purposely make separate commits and push to make their commit history darker shades of green? I think as new developer I have a disorder and bad habit.

Red blue green

The only type of client I like being, is a hostile one.

That's why I intend to answer every question of the dev team, with a question.

"So would you like this banner to be blue, or green?"

Does green evoke the same emotions as blue?

"Probably not, but we're asking you so we know how to finish the design..."

Does a design have a will of its own?

"Ok... What do you think about the new e-mail feature?"

Does anyone use e-mail nowadays?

"There are plenty of people who use e-mail professionally."

Are you a professional?

"I don't think this collaboration is going to work out"

Are we done?

(Parody of Ron Swanson)

Dear dev rant. I stopped being a web designer today and am now a software "developer". I feel like I don't know crap again :)

Come on Jenkins. Turn that blinking red light green.

Woke up 4am today to push my first iOS app. Took me three phucking hrs to realise apple is down! Their FUCKING dev stats website says all is green! Fuck u xcode

Um, why is it reversed? (The green start button is in the top-right)

I've always admired Robinhood for their design and color choice, but recently, they went with this neon hacker green scheme and it's fucking awful

"Good design is partially creativity and innovation, but primarily knowledge and awareness. " - Chuck Green

Imagine being a senior dev with a green junior that says: "Well maybe there is a better way and I just don't know"

and you say:

"There is, I'm telling you"

only to continue on discussing it more.

Not sure if I found a red flag or a green flag…

“The candidate needs to know react well. No, using npx create-react-app is not enough!”

On a first sight one may think: “oh cool they search someone with in depth knowledge”

On a second thought, tho…
- Am I going to need to start many react projects in the role? Don’t think so.
- if I am… am I forbidden to use cra? Why? 🤔
- how is not using a bootstrapper a sign of “deep knowledge”?

Sounded interesting at first, but the more I think about it, the more I think this request is a red flag.

Got fresh battery for my laptop from Green Cell. Finally can use it for longer than 15 minutes without charger....

Customer give me a broken iPad. The screen was pink or green with a not wanted 3D effect. Solution? Just kick it on the back side where the the screen connector is. That’s a so funny solution 🤣

If the first build of your new build plan is green, something went wrong

That feeling of elation when you rig two timer UI elements with different behavior to a shared Chronometer object, saving the app memory overhead and increasing its performance, only for the designer to berate you for making the background the wrong shade of green. :|

Complete disaster. As a C++ dev I was assigned to maintain some Python applications (some of them acting as proxies, wtf) just because the original authors left the team. It's slow as hell and it's not even a product - it's a helper tool. Cannot rewrite because nobody will give a green light for that. Why? Why?!

i wish there was an app to measure celllphone reception, which displays the signal strength via Augmentented Reality. With green yellow and red, just like it does with a thermal camera. So that you can find the best cellphone reception spot in your flat.

A customer requested the graphic drafts for a website with a serious design. He left me the complete freedom. After six shot down including three drafts inspired to important designers and one inspired to material design, I decided to make something absurd asking the customer his favorite colors. I am ashamed to have created a design with shades of green, white, orange and yellow on a green background. He said it was fantastic.

There is a lot of talk regarding IDE themes but what about your console?

Coworker pushed some changes and gave me good reason to rant.
Here's my story:
I start implementing a new feature, senior reviews it and suggest some changes, which are actually good ideas. I continue developing and implement the suggested changes.
The next day, senior keeps working on outdated source and makes similar changes like i did on the day before. Just pushes it anyway and breaks fucking everything.
The api now contains redundant information.
My classes still exist, but aren't used anymore. Let's keep some redundant code in the project, because deleting it is so much work.
All the unit tests broke, but he just commented them out, so everything is green again. We have now 0 tests which actually do something in the project, but at least the build is green...

Its a very simple algorithm for me:
Start with a deep base edm track.
Get a green tea.
Start work. The mood is now set.
(If frustrated): go out for a smoke and continue again.
(If frustrated again): see ur managers face and start lashing out code at ur ide.
(Optional if at home): random faps do help.

Devrant Community: Why is the user base shrinking?

Also Devrant Community: Fuck you green dot! You are the scum of the world. Fuck your mom, fuck your asshole with a giant npm download. If I could zip bomb all of your devices I would. We need a green dot genocide!

PS: It is not that I disagree with our welcoming committee. It is more of an observation. I am pretty sure I participated in this behavior.

For my local dev, set up my own root CA, added to trusted root CA in my machine, generated a cert for my local domain, signed by my own root CA, but the behavior is different across browsers:

Can someone help in making Google Chrome padlock green or grey (not red)?

Why won't they listen to us the first time?

One of my client's logo used blue and orange colors. He wanted the website to be echo friendly by using most of the green in the web design. We suggested that it would make the web design seem weird but he disagreed.

Anyhow, we went on with the design and designer actually did a pretty good job making the design look great in green along with 2 logo colors. Design was approved. We coded the website and asked the client to do final testing.

Today, I received an email from the client that he wants to remove echo friendly -- the green color -- completely from the website and replace that color with the logo colors.

FML.

Today another developer recommends to me change coffe to a green apple and green apple juice today i transform green apples into code... lol.

Hi devrant. Super-long time lurker, (years), but now introducing.

Expect the Spanish (ranting) inquisition.

Even as a green dot, I post in joke/meme just to not annoy innecesarily with non-rants.

Spent the day refactoring a REST app into graphQL, that feeling when all tests are green and everything is committed and merged 😧🤓

Since we're sharing traffic lights... Today I was running towards a green lad with a boner all day.

Talk about poor design choices, right...

Management sees green

When I'm about to start a late night coding session I like to brew a pot of green tea. In theory there is less caffeine than coffee.

"Can you make a green button that can do everything?"

mmmmm let me think...🤔

Green dots bots everywhere

So, it's been a while since I've been working on my current project and I've never had the "luck" to touch the legacy project wrote in PHP, until this week when I got my first issue.

And damn, this goddamn issue. It was a bug, a very strange bug, that only happens in production and that nobody has any idea what was happening, so yeah, I didn't have anyone to ask and I got less time than usual ( because Thanksgiving ).

And thus, I have no starting point, no previous knowledge on PHP and less time! I expected a very fun week 😀 and it was beyond my expectations.

First I tried to understand what might be causing the issue, but there wasn't any real clue to star with, so no choice, time to read the flow on the code and see what are they're doing and using ( 1k line files, yay, legacy ). Luckily I got some clues, we're using a cookie and a php session variable for the session, ok, let's star with the session variable. Where it's that been initialize ? Well, spoiler alert, I shouldn't start with that, because my search end up in the login method of the API that set a that variable and for some reason in the front end app it was always false and that lead me to think that some of the new backend functions were failing, but after checking the logs I got no luck.

Ok, maybe the cookie it's the issue, I should try open the previous website on the brow...redirect to new project login, What? Why ? I ask around and it's a new feature push on Monday, ok I got Chrome Dev tools I can see which value of the cookie it's been set and THERE IT WAS it has a wrong domain! After 2 days ( I resume a lot of my pain ) I got what I've been looking for, so now I should be able to fix the bug. Then where is the cookie initialized ? In the first file the server hits whenever you tried to enter any page of the app, ok, I found the method, but it's using a function that process the domain and sets it correctly? wtf ? Then how in heaven do I get the incorrect domain ? Hello? Ok, relax, you still have one more day to fix this, let's take it easy.

Then, at the end of the Wednesday, nope I still have no clue how this is happening. I talked with the Devops guy and he explain me how this redirection happens and with what it depends on, I followed the PHP code through and nothing, everything should works fine, sigh. Ok I still have 2 days, because I'm not from US and I'm not in US, so I still have time, but the Sprint is messed up already, so whatever I'm gonna had done this bug anyhow.

Thursday ! I got sick, yay, what else could happen this week. Somehow I managed to work a little and star thinking in what external issue could affect the processing, maybe the redirection was bringing a wrong direction, let's talk with the Devops guy again, and he answer me that the redirection it was being made by PHP code, IN A FILE THAT DOESN'T EXIST IN THE REPOSITORY, amazing, it's just amazing. Then he explained me why this file might be missing and how it's the deployment of this app ( btw the Devops guy it's really cool and I will invite him a beer ) . After that I checked the file and I see a random session_star in the first line of the code, without any configuration, eureka ! There was the cause and I only need to ask someone If that line it's necessary anymore, but oh they're on holiday, damn, well I'll wait till Monday to ask them. But once and for all that bug was done for ! 🎉

What do I learn ? PHP and that I don't want any more tickets of PHP 😆.

Which key would, or did you choose?

Cherry MX red, brown, blue, green, clear, black, silent red, silver, or Zealio 67g?

I'm deciding for my custom keyboard. Big decision to make. It's not going to be cheap. Just looking for some feedback.

So after 3 months of working ( which implies a 2h trip from home to get to the office ), going to college ( another 1h from home to get there ) and making a thesis to get a fucking Bachelor degree. I'm kind of done with everything except the job. I mean, I can't focus seriously in anything besides coding. So my question for you guys is, How do you get the important stuff done even if you don't wanna do it ?

Aubergine, oukome, taupe… wtf man. Just call colors old fashioned names, you know? Red, blue, green, yellow? Bitch

Having a middleman to either communicate a design or decision to a chinese client can sometimes really be the one thing you'd wish you've always had.

I've worked with tons of companies and clients from china and they are often very certain about things like bright orange/green on white/flashy background with black/white/red font, that sometimes you really just roll with it, but having said middleman really helps to communicate why e.g green and red on top of each other - aren't the best choice for a company that maybe wants to reach non grayscale visioned people too.

To the person who -1 me: haters gonna hate

Green fucking dots

The new janitor lady keeps throwing away the water bottle on my desk after I leave.

I'm trying to be green here and she's making it quite frustrating... I guess I have to hide it from her.

Now I know why newbie profile photo is green circle

Everyone here is frustrated because of red circles/red dots on line number of the code xD

My manager committed an empty Jenkinsfile on his project (he loves committing empty files or docs with words "TODO" in them). I decided to add the project to Jenkins so at least he sees a red X and failed build on ever branch .... green check? An empty Jenkinsfile is a valid Jenkinsfile?! Damn it Jenkins!

Qt to develop desktop apps. It's very well documented and easy to get with it. Even the green color used for the background logo is nice!!!

I really do love my job but after 2 liters of green tea and one aspirin I'm still tired and my headache is coming back

This can't be a healthy relationship...

Me: Laugh for the sake of humor
Inner me: Complain that the eggs aren't even green.

SwiftKey made all their keyboard themes free for good! Time for us to get and apply this theme on our devices :D

The green text BBC Micros at my first school, circa 1992.

I was pretty good at Snake.

I just saw my friend on a promotional poster… Looking all cool beside a green on black terminal… Showing off the "locale" command… And the poster had nothing to do with anything IT…

My friend just realised that he shot an entire video of a person infront of green screen, while that person was wearing a pant with green stripe.

After 1hour of live chat they were able to help me find the actual page content (green mark) ... speechless

A good day at work and I have a few questions about the green light to the meeting tonight but I will be back to normal in 30 of the day and I have been talking to him about refund my money laundering problems (everything was written by the keyboard autocomplete) 🤔

"When the light turns green, you go.
When the light turns red, you stop.
But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?" - Shel Silverstein

- But all tests are green!
- Of course, you've ignored all of them!!!

All I want to do is thumbnail some damn images but PIL and libjpeg are being a pain in the ass and turning everything green.

That slightly changed green color shade in latest Android studio logo is bothering my eyes.

Anybody know why a good amount of active members like linuxxx and SortofTested have been inactive for a few months. Also why has there been a green dot explosion

Green dots, don't try this.

We'll see...

For all the effort it takes to setup CI/CD it's totally worth it. My god this is marvellous I've wasted over 40 build minutes already just to see a spinner spin until it turns green :-D

After seeing lots of red it's great to see green

Anyone into bonsai trees to give some tips how to start?

Been thinking about growing a bonsai by my own but I don't know a thing about bonsai trees.

I don't wanna buy one. Wanna make it and put it indoors, in my office.
