Most helpful error log ever...

When the documentation is just perfect👌👌

Former dev left me a really helpful note in his code!

Thanks Nvidia for the helpful error message.

"Windows search, the most robust, helpful feature!" - No one.

This guy is the best coworker ever. He analyzes my algorithms, advises me when to eat or take breaks, and reminds me not to take life too seriously. He's pretty helpful with debugging too.

So as new user I used devrant straight for 6 hours and this happened.
Am I the only one who thinks this helpful tip should be given at 3rd upvote and not 80th?

Some comments are helpful, some aren't

Very true..

Ok, rubber ducks are ducking helpful, but I moved to use actual ducks.

If you are currently stuck somewhere where your rubber-mate cannot help out, feel free to ask. I’ll forward.

Fuck the cookie warnings on websites!

They don't do anything helpful and are just fucking annoying. Especially on some websites where they take up half og the fucking screen.

If you ask a question in a forum and figure out the answer yourself, for the love of God, please post the fricking answer.

"Never mind" is not at all helpful. Ugh. Stop being selfish peasants.

No, dear M$, I can't tell you if sth is helpful after spening 5s on page, especially if 4s were spent loading the content!!!

When you're just trying to be helpful and contribute to the # Linux kernel

I am a simple man. I see a helpful answer on StackOverflow, I upvote.

It's my first day here and I LOVE this place. Everyone is so awesome and helpful and smart! Thanks for making me feel at home! <3

New phone, after using double-tap to upvote a rant devRant told me that I can upvote rants by double-tapping. No shit sherlock

There are two types of people in this world: those that comment their code, and FUCKING ASSHOLES

This is a really helpful diagram of how the Linux infrastructure is laid out :)

TFW devRant is more helpful than stackoverflow and other Q/A sites.
I love you, fellow ranters.

Girlfriend was making science homework while suddenly this appeared. Real helpful. What a great developer must that be.

Bugs can be helpful sometimes too.

I didn’t know there existed a helpful tip #1 😱😱😱

Yaay!! Achievement unlocked: devRant stage 1

devs I present to you the most helpful message by a Banking app

Well thanks, that shit is so fucking helpful

Thanks Visual Studio, very helpful.

VLC because it really is damn good. The only player which gives you a nice looking interface irrespective of the windowing system it runs upon - Gnome, KDE, XFCE, MS-Windows, Mac. And that 200% boost in audio is really helpful with files having very low audio.

!rant

Someone just downvoted four of my answers on Stackoverflow just because I commented on one of his answers that "please include some description, just code won't be helpful"

PEOPLE IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT YOU ARE WRONG THEN GET THE FUCK OUT FROM OUR COMMUNITY AND STOP RUINING IT.

Now remember the order of operator precedence in JS with a "helpful abbr" :|

😁😂

Trying to install windows on my ubuntu machine. That tutorial was really helpful!

I just LOVE posting questions in online forums and getting some amazingly helpful human being answering; "No idea, sorry."

WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR AMAZING INPUT!!!

I love how united this community is.
Everyone cares about everyone.
Everyone understands everyone's troubles.
"Run Away" seems to be the most popular and helpful advice anyone and everyone gives. 😆

@dfox & @trogus
Just finished reading your app update and I must say that I'm very impressed with the number of changes that have come out in the past six or so weeks. Good job guys and keep up the good work!

PS an autocomplete '@' mention feature would be really helpful.

We mistakenly think that you need motivation to start something. The reality is that often you just need to start and then the motivation will come. And when it goes away again, you just keep on going. Because while it sure is helpful, you are still capable of doing something without.

Aww SwiftKey, after two letters youre suggesting the right password, that's so nice of you...

Wait a minute... WHY DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT?

You're not a password manager and you don't do that with other passwords, what's wrong with you?

Nature gave me a real life 🦆 debugging friend. He wasn't really helpful though. He flew away shortly after. Probably got a call from a more desperate dev.

ERROR Error: "[object Object]"

How is THAT supposed to be helpful?

I know a lot of you already know/do this, but to those of you who don't - I know it has saved me more than once:

If you use SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) - when connecting to a server, before you hit the "connect" button, under options, choose a color to represent which server you are connecting to. I personally use stoplight colors: red = prod, yellow = QA, green = dev....this way, it helps you realize what server you are connected to, minimizing our dreaded "oh shit" moments....lol

Hopefully this helps someone ☺

People who ask a question on stackOverflow and comment a minute later with " it's cool I solved it " are the biggest ass holes in the whole world , come on... How about sharing so some1 else might find your post helpful ... 😡

For the love of God use descriptive variable names. I dont care if it is 15 characters long instead of 5. Besides any halfway modern IDE does auto completion.

"tTime" is not helpful. Target time? Test time? Total time? Tea time? Turtle Timmy? No clue...

Gee, thanks for the descriptive error. That's really helpful. I now know exactly what to do.

Found this very helpful review on playstore.

@dfox
Feature request for favouriting a comment.

Some comments are really helpful/awesome.

I just finish "rebuilding" a page that I have built last year. My Js file (jQuery) went from 1200+ lines to 600..

I rewrite everything, the functionality is the same but the code is mush more cleaner.
Soo bad and redundant code.

Although comments where very helpful.

Feels good.

To whom it may concern,

When I say I use Linux, please do not presume that I mean Ubuntu or other Debian derivates. If you send me instructions like 'apt-get update' you are not being helpful.

Thank you.

I just thought this would be a good place to find beta testers. Mainly because the developer is prone to get bored and if they encounter a bug they will be a lot more helpful than "its not working"

Can someone please go have a stern talking-to with the developers over at Apple?

Good guy me. Had an issue and no helpful answers were provided on Stack Overflow. Found a solution, and posted my answer, even the question is 6 months old.

Manager logic: Adding "somehow" to the front of the JIRA title for the JIRA description is super clear and helpful.

Example:

Title: Chat screen doesn't work
Description: Somehow chat screen doesn't work

The most helpful error message of all time:

Unhandled exception in line 0: Script error.

Literally translates to: “Something went wrong but I’m not gonna tell you what.”

Can anyone recommend good books for coding algorithm​s?

Any tips and tricks would also be helpful. Thanks.

It would have been so helpful if they taught us about licenses and copyrights. Would've saved me a lot of trouble.

Thank you Messenger for being so helpful, fucktard

What a helpful error message :)

Thanks Rockstar for very helpful error message

My girlfriend asked me for help picking out a new laptop for school... being the helpful person I am, I picked out this but with Arch Linux because who needs 2 Nvidia cards anyways

Very helpful

Trying to be helpful to noobs on Stackoverflow and got downvoted. Doesn't seem to be a particularly cheerful community.

Status: 200
Res.body: errMsg: err is undefined

That's real helpful mongo

While I'm still struggling with Webpack and Babel. There's one light in the end of this abyss. Dear @AlexDeLarge is reaching out and helps me with all his experience. devRant, what a wonderful place.

"Hey, this Chrome autofill feature is so helpful and does exactly what I expect" - said no one ever.

This week in Programming Language appreciation: the multiplication operator in Python. You can use it on strings and arrays for incredible ease of use. For a horizontal line in a terminal?

print("-" * 30)

Very helpful, and I have used it a lot. And I miss it in other languages.

Very helpful. Fuck you, VirtualBox

Helpful message midway through watching the football match... Always at an important moment... Must be coded to display when the commentator gets excited.

The codebase I'm working with hss rarely comments on it. But when there are comments written they are shit like:
//Kill Matt

//don't ask me where that hard-coded value came from, it just works

//we have to add the elements to the fucking list

Reeeeally helpful. Yep.

Thanks apple.
Now I know what are requirements to publish application to app store.

It's true what other people say. When you're stuck, pear programming can be really helpful 🍐

Thanks Amazon, that was a very helpful and informative notification.

"An error has occurred. Please try again."

WELL WHAT THE FUCK IS THE ERROR? WHY CANT YOU TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO FIX THE ERROR YOU PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT.

I shouldn't need to submit a form 23 fucking times, changing field values each time, because of an uninformative fucking error message.

Everytime a rant about a tech problem appears, most of you try to be supporting and helpful in the comments section.

Thank you for beeing nice to people who suffer from work related pain.

I hate it when people put time into making their docs look nice but none into making them actually helpful!

The developer's conundrum:

Do I fix the issue before a user encounters it...

Or do I wait for a user to contact me and then quickly fix it so they think I am super helpful.

Started new job, its big jump for me in my career. Very much excited. People are also very helpful.

[Object, Object] ...... That's really helpful. Json.stringify to the rescue.

what a helpful crossword clue!

I fucking hate Xcode.

Dev Community

On Facebook groups- most are scams.
On SFO - strict.
On Reddit - Somehow helpful
On Telegram - 'nobody cares about you'
On Wechat or CSDN - They curse you.
On Dev.to - incomplete.
On Gitter - 'no body cares'
On slack - boring.
On Naver blog - somewhat helpful.
On whatsapp - crypto referal links everywhere
On Twitter - 'JAVASCRIPT bla bla bla'
On Google GRoups - classic
On discord - friendly

So far what I experienced, what about you guys?

I am not a very big fan of what Microsoft does but this is really helpful.

What a helpful error message, IDEA. Thanks a bunch...

Today the corporate proxy decided to flake out on me. Every single external site was blocked.

I was shown a very helpful page informing me the site I wanted to visit was blocked. If I had legit need to access the site or believe the site was blocked in error I could contact IT via a helpful link.

And yeah, the IT support site was blocked by the proxy too.

One of the very helpful error messages so far!
🙈🙈🙈

Tried rubber duck debugging -> duck didn't say anything helpful, or at all -> got frustrated

The help command I just wrote does not seem to be that helpful... :/

Dear JavaScript,

"TypeError: Object(...)(...) is undefined" is not a helpful error message.

Sincerely,

Once spent 2 hours figuring out that I wrote succes instead of success in a jquery ajax call

This experience helped me write success properly on an English exam, so at least it was helpful

Why is the mediamaking noise out of Microsoft open sourcing their calculator app?

How is this helpful for the majority of community?

What's next? Open source notpad? And call them pioneers of Open source

Lately I'm finding issues on git more helpful than StackOverflow.

I know those are different beasts, but for the harder/specific questions I'm finding more resources on the repos than on SO.

Want to fuck other developers? Then make a quite probable project name illegal without documenting it, nor providing any helpful information in the error messages.

I tried to name my Flutter test project flutter_test. Turns out that that name is reserved (it's a package). Fml. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Apparently Google assistant thinks devRant's not that helpful :/

Being helpful and a c++ programmer has led me to trying to add a (tiny) feature to cpython.

The file I'm currently looking at is 2,000 lines long.

I have regrets...

One of my colleagues tried upgrading his Windows 7 laptop to Windows 10... he had multiple issues getting the installer to run but got past it after a couple of hours troubleshooting.

He left for lunch when it got to 81% installed, and got back an hour later to find "Something Happened" proudly displaying on-screen.

He clicked 'okay' and it just started rolling back to Windows 7 with no explanation as to what happened, or even any error codes!

Thanks Windows!
As helpful as always!

I’m quite new to devRant, but it’s really growing on me.
I found a respectful, helpful and joyful community and I’m just glad to have found it in this difficult period of coronavirus.
I wish you all to go through and stay healthy!

❤️ devRant......
it’s soo helpful....

Old forums with posts from a decade ago are more helpful (and friendly) than StackOverflow. Fact.

Do you know that feeling when you ask for help in a chat or board and some guy posts a link to the first google result by just googling what you asked?

I mean does that guy think that I can’t use google?

I wouldn’t ask for help if the answer could be found in google in a few seconds.

On the other hand you can’t be mad because he only wanted to help you.

Why thank you helpful error message. Sorry its not a screenshot.

Really fucking helpful Google.

Go fuck yourself make.

Don't tell me you haven't got a build rule for a .hex file because I'm fucking looking at it. I added a single file name to a variable and now magically you can't find any of my fucking build rules.

NOT FUCKING HELPFUL MAKE.

TypeScript...
An annoying "helpful" friend who points out your mistake even before you do it...

Such variable names
much helpful
very wow!

Either I need to download sdk source code for var names to show up correctly or I need to memorize which is for what :\

On stackoverflow
*Someone asks a question, asking for a feature.
* I put some link of a library, with some words.
* the asker says it's helpful
* some other unrelated stupid moron downvoted my answer

What a helpful message, GitHub! Errr.... Microsoft?

AWS write awful docs. The .Net SQS example code has spelling mistakes, bits missing and doesn't work.

Also would be helpful if it highlighted that the .Net Core implementation is fundamentally different.

Jerks.

My University's tech support are all really happy and glad to help people. Was going to look into a student job, but damn no way in hell I could be that helpful and happy lol

Thank you PHPStorm for being helpful!

PS: Yes
PPS: Yes I know PHPStorm wasn't built for Sass
PPPS: Yes

Totally the best possible excuse for fewer USB ports on a laptop: "It's more streamlined!"

Yeah, when I am on the go and need that one additional port, my first thought will be "well, thankfully it at least is streamlined! That's helpful!"

Best: Becoming an IT contractor

Worst: Not telling more people to "fuck off and go fuck yourself if you're not going to be helpful" while I was perm

>Having an issue.
>Looking it up on SO.

>"Thanks past me"

Thanks, vuejs, for correctly rendering ${ note.title }, but taking \'${ note.title }\' as a string literal, that is truly helpful and not inconsistent at all.

I am looking for a job, does any one needs a ceo or a consultant? I can be helpful. I have experience of four failed projects, two were of my own and have experience of one successful one.

Much detail.
Many help!
Wow.

I click on More Details.
It was blank.
Thanks. Helpful as always 👌

I feel so much better when I actually talk through problems I’m having with a project with someone that can help me brainstorm. It sometimes makes me feel bad because I didn’t do it myself, but there’s also a lot of things that I learn through the process.

Wow, thanks for the super-helpful e-reader deal, Tom's Guide.... >_>

I have upvoted good questions, helpful comments and useful answers on SO for a long time now, although I don’t have enough reputation (15 needed to count upvotes).
Once I reach this 15 points get ready for a big rain of upvotes 😁

Got accepted in an IT Internship💪 I finally understood when people that first opportunity into IT is hard to get. ... they ain't lying. Anyone here with some helpful tips?

Who would have thought that slack would be very helpful on a team project. We've been using messenger all the time. Damn it. Where r u during my college days.

Honestly, why on earth do people give me un-cropped SVGs. That isn't helpful...

These resources may help....um yup very helpful thanks.

the only thing that held me in my current job was my boss. verry supportive and helpful type. best boss so far.
but now he just quit 😑

guess who looks for a job ...

Helpful work advice then: “work hard and we will notice your successes and improvement, we believe in you”

Helpful work advice now: “Evil corporate mfs. Nefarious manipulators trying to fuck you. They want to destroy you and milk the last drop from your pathetic spirit. They would watch you burn in a pit of acid for entertainment. Get the bag and get out fam.”

Run-time error occured in file: undefined at line: undefined and column: undefined

Damn devrant just gave me a "helpful tip" but my anti-ad reflexes kicked and before I realized it was closed. Does someone knows what does it say?

Ah, yes, thanks, google for this helpful error. Now I know everything.

Thanks internet! most helpful.

Some really helpful comments from the previous dev!

!rant First code review in the new team, came back with list of helpful suggestions and constructive criticisms. Yep I'm going to like it here. Excited to be learning from the bests.

When people write "sys.exit()" in their libraries instead of giving a helpful error and you spend about 3 hours debugging your code and trying to find out why it is exiting.

In reality it is just a tool that is extremely helpful

Love the docs that provide lots of segment examples everywhere, but no full examples. No source code. Very helpful

Very insightful and helpful 👍

My golden rule of debugging - Isolate issues by changing one unit of code at a time. Keep everything else constant.
Second most helpful rule - pick up the habit of fixing things by reviewing code, instead of relying on debuggers. Make you so much more aware of possible pitfalls while coding itself.

What to do against chronic back-aching?

The tips on the internet ain't helpful and the doc can't go out of drunk state.

Thanks, plugin, that help text was incredibly...helpful?

My favorite thing is searching a problem on Stack Overflow, and the only example you find was solved by fixing a simple syntax error.

😒

I feel sorry for people for who this is actually a thing and they find it helpful 😬

This is actually really helpful!
Thanks for letting me know, operating system!

Currently writing a book about Python 3. Anyone have anything obscure/helpful that Python does that you might not have found in tutorials?

Hope, it is helpful

Anyone who knows that type of stuff?

Best documentation, cakephp/laravel

Worst is by far Java docs...
for fucks sake include some useful examples i dont wanna see a table with parameters, My IDE can provide more helpful info than that

Is it just me or everytime I look up a question and I land on Microsoft Q&A site, theres never any accepted answers?

Rather you get, this thread is closed after all these non helpful answers from staff

I'm totally confident until you decide gleam over my shoulder, breathing down my neck, staring at my computer making un-helpful comments.

Honestly stack overflow can be helpful but what's not helpful is when some unresponsive asshole puts your question on hold because you left out part of the problem but doesn't respond to you after you edited the post and fixed the questions problem. Like fuck am I ever gonna get it answered or do I have to wait for this fuck wad to say it's okay. At least with asking on reddit I get responses. Fuck man I'm probably just gonna repost.

Please explain how this is helpful:

Just a helpful hint: if you ever run Firefox from the terminal for any reason, use "firefox &>/dev/null &". It runs on the same thread and spits out tons of random logs.

Edit: also, hello world! Almost forgot. :)

Welp, glad I'm not a standard user.

Email this morning: "Program X is not working".

Wow thanks. That's not fucking helpful at all. We have like 100 different applications and I've only ever seen about half of them so far and have no clue how to even use it or what is supposed to do.

"Sorry, but nothing in this MR is as it should be (I don't even know where to start) - all you do here is waste scarce CI resources"

Much helpful. Such wow. Teach me how to make such toxic and useless merge request comments.

Two senior dev are going on a vigorous debate.

The other staff is getting out their snack to watch the show... very helpful :)

* talking with coworker about how to use a certain library *

* other coworker comes in *
"Oh I have experience in that library. Perhaps I could help"

* we explain our problem *
"Hmmm yeah, you should probably refer to the docs."

Helpful 1000!

I don't know if this commit message is helpful or not, at least CHANGELOG.md was also updated.

Yikes...

I was feeling particularly mischievous today so I wrote a really helpful script for a colleague... In Perl

The Kotlin Koans tutorials are actually really helpful. This language feels really smooth; I like it. Now to actually make something with it...

SO closes so many helpful questions that are not subjective. Just let someone answer it 😭

Look at every obtuse error in failing tests as an opportunity to add a helpful error message :-)

Hello everyRanter,
I'm going to build a simplified management system for primary school (that would be another story).
I need advices about considerations to take, implementations and tips to make the system helpful for users and decision makers (administration), and make it modern as possible.

Program seems to work better when there is about 2-3 times the amount of code related to error handling the task than just the task. I'm always glad to see quality stuff that accounts for the edge cases especially with helpful error messages.

Anyone use Golang here for system programming? I recently learned go and it would be very helpful if someone would describe me the pitfalls in go while writing fast softwares. I am planning to write a music player for Linux in go.

When you're told in the late afternoon to implement a feature in a legacy codebase you have no familiarity with and written in a framework you've never used by the next day...

Thank goodness for super nice and helpful coworkers... Almost there 😩
