When I am trying to figure out what's going on in the code

Got hacked in a day after deploying my first site. 😑 I just started developing. Well, I am thankful for that person to point it out to me otherwise I wouldn't have known.

She: "I am not getting anything out of these classes!!"

Me: "Try making some Objects first"

*Awkward silence*

I am new to Linux and still trying to figure out the CLI
Luckily my colleague and good friend helped me out with a list!

Today I'm 40 years old..
Should i be afraid?
Will i be filtered out?

will i stop getting "pick up" messages from hot girls on linkedin, who's
Only intrested in my mind?

am i too old for this to be my room?

"I am not happy with the quality of the product"

My prof suggested me to use matlab instead of Python for my project.

So I started learning and found out that in matlab ARRAYS START FROM 1.

Wtf!

I am going back to python

I am literally laughing out of breath

I am the new girl. While I’ve been at this company for two years, I’ve only been in my new position a little over a month. I haven’t quite figured out if I am sysadmin or devops yet. It’s a bit all over the place. I am building a new thing at work. I build different types servers and set them on fire frequently as a hobby. This one is a stack I haven’t built before. It wasn’t working. I eventually got to the point where I told the other guy maybe I should consider resigning, I’m not qualified for this job. He said... Finally... now you’re going to figure it out and fix it. The next day, I did find what I kept overlooking and made it work. I guess this is life now.

Hello! I am Johnny Knoxville and tonight on Jackass...we test in prod with no back out plan in place...and then I will glue Bam's hand to his dick while he's sleeping.

Going through git commit history to figure out when *the programmer fucked up this code.

* I am the only programmer.

What am I supposed to do with a stress ball ? Throw it to people who stress me out ?

And here I am creeped the fuck out by Google (as always) suggesting me to take photos of the bakery I'm at while having location and WiFi turned off :)

Ah, every time I am on VPN, on every single website I have to prove that I am not a robot.

Just because I am using a VPN service to protect my information, that does not mean I am about to fuck the website up or DDoS the shit out of you. I wish the CDN providers would understand that and make our life easier.

I am seriously tired of completing the Google verification. Select the vehicle, bike, sign post, dick, vagina, Mia Khalifa. FUCK OFF

I am literally getting chewed out over 99.998% uptime

Update on my rant from yesterday where I mailed my hosting admin that I got blocked.
I am not offended
Check out the whole conversation. Its by far the best converstation over mail.

My team are trying to figure out who I am on here....

Really pissed me off when I tell someone that I am teaching myself how to code and they're like.. "Don't you have to go to school for that?"

YES.. I wish I could go to school but I am broke, have no family support, and got no credits for a loan. But at least I am seeking out other resources! The mentality of some people I swear!!

after spending a day figuring out why my code does not work, i finally realized someone broke master

then i found myself in the following conversation

jim : "yeah, we found out about it yesterday, i am working on a fix right now"

me : "so why did you not send and email to everyone that master is broken, don't pull changes"?

jim : "hey... someone told me to fix it, so that's what i am doing. that doesn't include sending an email. if you want to, you can send it.. "

*FourWeeks From Deadline*

Two CoWorkers: "Oh cool, Visual Studio 2017 is out, I am gonna switch"

Breaks the build.

They then tried to spend hours trying to get the project to work on both versions, with no success, then let us know.

I am just glad we use Git

When i found devrant in play store. I dont know why, but because it was something like a community, installed it, found out java, installed eclipse, then found out android is java (well at that moment...) so i am doing android development until now! (me 15)

A temporary replacement teacher came in today, she is so fucking dumb omfg, I am literally shakeing, this pic will tell you everything.

Found this fun folder cleaning out my drive.

Whatever Microsoft......I am deleting it either way.

I am developer.

Discussing the design of our App, he asked me whether I have used tinder. I replied, "No, never had to..."

He laughed out hard and also told his colleague this joke.

I am a developer.
But... I am also a gamer, not a player 😎
I dont need tinder, I have Counter-Strike.

Out with friends. Here I am, in a club, devRanting. :/

Asked a girl out. Let us see how it is gonna go. I am so fucking hyped!

Dear devrant, I apologize for any really random rants for the night, I'm out drinking and clubbing with friends and am already having Dev thoughts.

Am I the only one who freaks out when I see a dev dressed in a suit!!

Who said Linux cant be hacked?
Despite of best practises, now I am out of the sudoers list of my own machine.

I miss the days I actually enjoyed playing games.

6 years of programming later...

I'm always wondering how did they make the game? Once I find out how, I lose interest in the game.

I spend more time reverse engineering/exploiting/modifying the Client of games than actually playing them, more out of curiosity than causing harm.

Am I evil? 😫

I hate, HATE MYSELF!! I am an awful developer. I am an awful person.
I am trying so hard. To be a better person. To be a better developer. But, as a person I am again finding it difficult to empathize. At work, I really want to explore MERN stack but that I have to do it out of working hours. And damn! work is too much, I don't get time.
I need to work on a new project, for 2 months the discussions with MILLION TEAMS ARE GOING ON!!! NOTHING!! NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA!! THEY MIGHT FIRE ME!! I AM STRESSED!!
IT'S 1AM HERE AND I AM WRITING UNIT TESTS!! I want to cry. I want a partner maybe who can support me or maybe it's my mood swings.

I just found out that I am my co-workers rubber duck...

I am 21 and I just found out that I have rheumatoid arthritis in my fingers

I think a little part, no ,a huge chunk inside of me just died.

Why the fuck does life keep piling shit...
what's the fucking point....

So ... Facebook somehow found out I used a 'fake' rear name and forced me to switch it back ...

So now they can again sell my data, and I am again haunted by stupid ads I don't want ...

Fucking Zuckerberg!!!!

Am I the only one who figures out solutions to complex issues only when peeing, bathing or taking a dump? 😂

So I created a Barber class but when I use the trim method I keep losing space.

Programming makes me feel like I am Jack Sparrow I do not completely understand problems, struggle with it and somehow manage to make success out of it ...Ah everyday it's an adventure in the brain

People out there are getting married, having kids, dating their crush and here I am staring at gradle build to finish with 32 errors and 10 warnings,life is that easy 😐

Spent 30 minutes to figure out why there is no printed output when I press a certain button and then I realise that I am printing my text in white colour 😂😂

Saturday morning:
Notification on WhatsApp from my new boss: hello, I sent you a message on Skype because the data is not good and I had to send it to the customer yesterday.

Go to Skype: hello, I am out all weekend. If you checked the data when I handed it out I could have figured out a solution. I will check when I am back.

Logout from Skype
Block number on WhatsApp
Block incoming calls on phone

All my friends have girlfriends right now, spending good times and having fun over the weekend.

And here I am trying to figure out how to integrate Jquery UI with React :(

i am a procrastinating asshole. woke up at 7am to do some work, and still, 5 hours later - nothing! i am so pissed of at myself right now. i just want to jump out of my skin and not be me anymore. fuck.

i have just realized that the main source of my unhappiness and emotional imbalances is interacting with the world.

when at home, i am zen. i leave everything alone and everything leaves me alone, i am at peace, i am happy.

as soon as i get out and start being barraged by the everpresent dumbfuckery of the world, and on top of that my own dumbfuckery,... it becomes difficult to not hate existence.

I should be studying, but what am I doing instead? Trying out all kinds of linux distros, partitioning my hard drive, trying to install a linux distro ... Help

I would like to ask you guys for advice.

I am a content manager who is gradually given more and more dev tasks. That is great because I want to become a webdev. However I have one big issue. Whenever I write code (any code) I feel ashamed because I know that anyone else could do better. I am also ashamed to show my work to my colleagues because I am afraid of what they might think of me. I know that they are good people and they would probably help me out but still...

Someone once tried to explain to me that I am not my code and whenever my code is being evaluated I am not the one who is being judged, it is my code, my current knowledge. I understand conceptually what he was trying to tell me but I just can't feel it.

Did you have similar feelings when you started out?
Thanks in advance.

Fuck, I am really exhausted.
I am really burnt-out, I can't do this shit anymore.
Fuck this shit, here is my letter of resignation.
It is already signed, I won't do this shit anymore.
I will be jobless, but fuck this, I won't spend any more minute here.
*drop microphone*
The party is over.

Thanks RedHat :) .. got this at some cloud summit. It has some redHat bundled systems. I am yet to test them out..

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

I am really scared of entering into the office. Yesterday I ranted a lot about a bug and today it turned out it was my mistake. Seems it will be better if I will go in wearing a mask.

Bought this a while ago thinking i would read, never ended up doing it. Now i am actually trying to learn it, and this shit is out of date

Does balding scare the shit out of anyone else here? I am 19 and have started showing signs of male pattern baldness *sigh*. Just hope to make it to 25 without balding completely.

Ppl will find out how fucking stupid I actually am

6 am, searching for the reason that put the programm in a non-responding state since 4 am. Turns out I forgot to manipulate the count variable in a while loop, so unless the first object wasn't the correct one, it hot stuck.
FML, don't programm when tired

MY LAPTOP just scared the shit out of me. It screamed words like a demon. I thought that I am hacked. But it was just a screen reader... I accidentally activated it or something while unlocking the lappy.

I am Done! I am extremely burnt out and unhappy with my work. I have been doing this professionally for over 5 years now and much longer than that unprofessionally.
This new company I joined finally gave me the salary I always dreamt of but now I am extremely unhappy and depressed and anxious all the time. And I don't like the work I am doing. I don't like the team. I hate being isolated at home for over 2 years, working from home. I had a mental breakdown in the middle of the meeting the other day. And after that, I said. that's it. I am done. So, I gave the resignation letter. I don't know what I am gonna do. But I sure as hell can't do this shit any longer. But now, the fucking hr is making it even more difficult for me by not letting me leave without serving the notice period. I told her I am on fucking medication and I am having severe mental health issues. Now, she wants to see the medical certificate. Or I have to pay two months' salary. WTF? If I had that kind of money lying around, I wouldn't have slaved myself away at your shitty company, would I?
I went to my psychiatrist whom I have been seeing consulting for the last couple of years now. I asked for a medical certificate and he thinks it'll hamper my future career. So, he said I should get a certificate from a general physician. So, that's the world we live in then? You can't even speak the truth? And the way HR is behaving over the mail makes me feel like a total slave. I mean I am not at all fit for work these days, and it feels like, if she had her way, she would tie me down to a chair and ask me to push out code. what the fucking fuck. This is some fucked up industry and I think I am finally done with software development. But now, I don't have any idea what I am gonna do with my life or how am I gonna earn money. I am so burnt out and anxious that even the thought of working again gives me panic attacks. even working from home. What the fuck do I do?

Am I the only one that gets freaked out by this decimal point? Either stick with the comma or with the dot, but don't mix them!

CSS Grid isn't working propperly so I am trying to debug it for a complete day.

It turns out that I have misspelled a grid-area name and thats why it didn't work :(

I (senior dev) just went out with colleagues from work. We started drinking what eventually led to some dancing and partying. After a lot of drinks one of the junior/intermediate devs told me that he was surprised i am not a conservative bourgeois like he supposed i am based on his work-experience with me and that he can have actually have fun with me.

MAN I AM FUCKING SORRY THAT I AM PROFESSIONELL AND THAT I DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MY PRIVATE AND MY PROFESSIONAL LIVE!

I can't deal with another week of this.

Just came out of a car crash of a meeting, client expected a finished product, ready to sign off, but got a product that has so far to go.

I am a junior developer, paid junior salary, 1 and a bit years out of uni, and I am basically "lead" of a project that is way above my level of pay, I have been for a year (yes so fresh out of uni I was given this). Clients basically want out now, they reckon it's going to die. We have another week to push it, I have pulled 12 hour days without overtime. We have one other developer outsourced, plus a part time front end guy (who I trained).

I want out so bad, but if I walk, my company will be screwed and their company will be screwed.

Morally, I don't want to do that. But I can't see this ending well.

Fuck it.

Am I the only one that loses some, if not all, motivation when they can't figure out a way of overcoming a problem that doesn't involve a nauseating hack?

I am reading the code I wrote yesterday when i was drunk out of my mind

Just start to use VSCode from sublime, and found out , I have wasted so much time on only using "console.log" as my main node.js debug weapon. ( Or I am still a dummy for Sublime )

Am I the only one who found Satya Nadella picture really out of context and funny.. its like the numbers represent real estate value of his heads surface....

Because of work, I am spending three days in Hamburg.

echo 'Hallo Hamburg';

I just arrived and am excited to check out my hotel room. Hope their internet is fast! 😬

I am African (Nigerian), I just moved to Berlin, what am I supposed to look out for to blend in?

🙏

Dear Lord.

I've got an exam today. I remembered ot was at 9 am so I arrived at university at 8 am.

It turns out it is at 2 pm.

Am I the only one that lives in fear of friends/colleagues finding out I'm on devrant?

I've already deleted a few rants in which I described something that happened between me and someone else in fear that they might find out.

Person: I am a developer. Give me coffee and I will convert it to code.
Me: What have you ever developed?
Preson: 😮. Well I can print hello world in 6 languages!
Me: 😕,You can show yourself out.

I don’t know but I am getting lazy to do repeated tasks daily, So I found out this :/

Wanted to test out UWP app.
=>
Created one and clicked split view, but it turns out i needed to update windows.

2 hours later i am still updating. At the blazing speed of 3% rach 5 minutes.
🔥 ⌚🏃🤔🤔

So I have 1mb/s internet that cuts out every ~5 min - i had to wait for internet connection to load the speed test.

I am just outside London - internet speed should not be bad, i am not exactly in the middle of nowhere

I needed to print out the documentation of Vue. Their guide, unfortunately, is not printer friendly. Used tempermonkey to inject a script which removes the navbar and sidebar so that I can print it.

I am a hacker

Facebook.
I fucking hate Facebook now.
Adding ads to all their videos, real classy.
Especially when it can show the same ad twice in the same video...
Facebook, I AM OUT.

I am going to start a new podcast next month. It will be called TechWiz, and the goal is to teach you how tech works inside and out. The first episode will be released sometime in January and come out each month.

FUCK THIS SHIT. I AM OUT.

That's how I started my Monday. So this week gonna be another great week again. I can bet.

!rant

Sometimes I think I am (a developer) is similar to a samurai or a yakuza. Once we get into this business, we just cannot get out of it. :?

// I am starting to get drunk. It is lucky for you guys that we have 2 hours interval. I don't expect my next post to be any good.

Found out about JetBrains student program and asp.net unix support and now I am the happiest person on earth!😊🙂😋

I am beyond burnt out. I still need to finish some stuff over the freaking holidays. Sucks to be me, literally, figuratively, and really.

*Sobs in TTS robotic voice*

So... visual studio 2017 came out... Well I have 2015 but I decided to update. I am still waiting 1 hour later for visual studio 2015 to uninstall...

Less stress.. No panic.. And yea.. Beer. Drink beer if you're really stressed... Helps me out everytime..
By the way I am drinking beer as I write this..

I have been at my current company for seven years. I am in a senior position and I am a senior person in the department with a lot of systems that I am responsible for. Anyway I am getting really tired of my management and getting burned out working basically 24x7 on call. My last two vacations I have been called and worked 6 hours each time.

So, tomorrow I have a second interview at another company, I am worried what will happen if / when I leave. I have a feeling I will probably land a side contract with my current employer.

I think I am sure I am ready to leave, just a little anxious about the change.

I am about to do the unthinkable.
I am going to a place no dev wants to go.
I am about to take an unhinged decision everyone would warn me against.
I am about to cause a change to my future, whether good or bad I guess I'll find out.

But what I do know, is YOLO.

I'm deploying to production on Friday just half an hour before I log off for the day and come back on Monday.

Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.

Not long ago I claimed that I don't like KDE Plasma. And now I am using it as my only DE and realize what I was missing out.

Do you guys find strolling through super markets and putting things in the basket one by one while crossing them out of list therapeutic

Am I weird?

I would like to also point out that I am sitting in the lobby racking up billable hours, waiting for someone to escort me to the desk I am working from while on this assignment.
Clients always complain about the cost, but wow, they can't wrap their heads around the idea that I am billable for every second I am in this building.

I honestly do not understand why people speak so badly about PHP(that's the general vibe I am getting from all these different platforms) or maybe it's because I am still new at it I am yet to find out the reason.

Just because I am a night owl and arrive late to your fucking meeting at 1100am, it does not mean I am shit head and trying to save out of office. Then why did you fucker shift my meeting an hour before and screw up my whole day. Fuck you asshole.

In a lecture and all the guy is doing is reading out of a book that was handed out at the start of term.

The saying those who can no do teach and those who can not teach teach maths comes to mind.

What am I paying for...

Me trying to figure out this issue I am having with code I copied from code pen for a css powered image slider.

I think I need to get out of room and do some sports. I am growing up tits. is that programming 😰

So I am currently figuring out JavaScript, I don't know how to write my _own_ code yet but I know how some statements go. Progress my friends!

I have a Devrant tee shirt and stickers. Everyone knows I like 80s Rock and metal. I hope know figures out my identity. Never mind I don't care. I am freelancing.

When you get into good company but end up in bad team. Worst thing to happen. I want to quit. But as of now I don't have any option.

I am way too triggered. Any one tries messing with me anymore at work, I won't be able to stop myself. I am gonna shout....take out all my anger. To hell with you assholez! I don't care if you get me kicked out of team or job! I can't take it anymore. FUCKING IDIOTS!!!!!!

Am I the only one thinking that VR is just a fad destined to die out in silence like 3D movies ?

I am desperately running out of music please send 🔥 Spotify playlists!

Does anyone here have anything interesting to do? I am free now so looking for something creative to work on.

I don't care about getting any money out of it. AS long as it's interesting I'm in!

I might sound ridiculous but yeah, I am switching from C++ to java.
reason: I am bored sticking to a single language for 4 years.
Why not python?
reason: I use it every second day at my work.
Why this(java) shit? There are tons of other languages out there.
reason: java gives me PLEASURE
How drunk are you?
me: VERY

I've never felt the need to use SourceTree, am I missing out on a lot? I use the terminal. Feel it's sufficient.

Just me, or am I the only one who loves using (Android) swipe keyboard to spell out "prototype"?

Build project on GitHub with new tags, refresh every hour to see what if somebody found it and like "WOW check this out"? Pft, who am I kidding, still zero.

What I say:
I understand computers.
What others understand:
I am the god of Computers I understand every Language that ist out There and what I cant solve is impossible...

Friend: Hey I am rebasing my commits and got stuck into a weird window and i was not able to come out of it?

Friend: Wait I'm pressing the same but still nothing happened, it is displaying on my screen?

... After 200 messages...
Me: Just close the computer and I am going to Himalayas. Peace

I am so burnt out of forced overtime.

i am (somewhat unreasonably) mad at a ten year old classmate of my child. he showed off his programming skills by typing print commands. i wanted to mock him a little by pointing out python 2 would be out of date. he called my child a noob and suggested i don't know shit and he'd be coding c++.

so beside me obviously having no dignity for mocking someone quarter my age, i am not even mad for him talking shit about me, i am just overwhelmingly disappointed about his entitlement and blatant lies. so this is the future? this is an uprising nerd? i'd love to encourage every child on programming, but not with this attitude.

I got a few resolution for this year.
-Releasing the app I am developing
-Learn more about devOps
-Learn machine learning
-primarily, pass out from this college without hurdle

Question, have you ever felt like you have been pigeonholed into specific languages? I am feeling more and more like I am getting forced onto projects because to few people know the language (LabVIEW). getting tired of it, and not sure what the way out is.

I hate when build takes forever to complete and all my enthusiasm drains out.

The main reason I am not being productive.

Am I the only one who's always scared out of my mind that there is gonna be some real hard ass purno blasting through my laptop speakers whenever I open it at work in the morning?

I am coming out guys
I like solarized themes

Working at a start-up company and i must confess its blood sucking like you've got some vampires sucking life out of you. I have to work like a donkey or camel and sometimes feel like am right in the middle of hell , lots of requirements, changes, fixes, updates, and more products stuffs that pissed you up, I don't know what am feeling right now but I only know am coding and have to take some shit feelings out!!!!

For all freelance Devs out here.
How do you get clients ?

Because am planning to begin with freelancing but am afraid that i won't be able to get any clients.

I am soooooooooo much bored to start coding again after a small vacation 🥲 Is it the same for all? If so show me a way out 🥲

I am all burned out on everything having to do with websites. I need a new career path. I’ve never been a stellar programmer. I have no idea what to switch to that I could be good at and that comes with a paycheck and benefits to provide for a family of six. Feeling painted into a corner with no way out.

Boss says: Why is our email not working get it to work again.

Me: What the fuck? Only because I am the computer guy does not mean I can make wine out of water.

I am seeing a lot of people infuriated a lot about windows10 updates.
And I am just sitting here on win7 with disabled updates.

Waiting for some free time to fetch my new computer with ryzen, throwing some linux dist on it and virtualize the shit out of windows for gaming only.

So I am new to coding — excited to be learning but terrified to get out and find some sort of job when that time comes.

I am teaching myself a new skill.

Everytime my non-technical boss speaks about devOps, I am going to force the tetris theme tune to play inside my head to block him out.

I get so high on the feeling of relief when I find out that a problem with my program could be solved so easily.

Right now I am high.

Anyone elsd burned the fuck out?

I fucking am!

What is another career in tech I can move to from developer? Don’t mind going back to school to pick up new skills.

Not even on devrant anyone like I was.

Being dodged from admin to admin until they can figure out who can give me access to view db tables I am supposed to be using in the web app ><

I am the unit test guy now, please send all of your untested and poorly thought out code my way to be tested

i am coding blindly cause i am not really sure how the function really works. thats how i get things done after 2 weeks. but at least it works out after a while. buuuut i just want to get this thing done uuuggghhh i need to do this faster!

mind please cooperate with me

!rant, story

Wonder if I’m alone on this:
I have habits.
Always use the same cup, with very same amount of coffee grounds. Same four presses with the same fingers on the coffee machine.
Same way I place the cups in my desk. Same way I carry my notebook, same way I dry my hands. Same exact spot I place my card on the rfid reader. Use same elevator, same locker. God.
You name it, I do it on my own particular way.

Thing is, that I think about it. I do it consciously. I am just happier if things stay the way they are. It not just muscle memory thing.

Not judging here, just wonder if there’s people who can relate as much 🧐

Cheated with my beloved 'optimization' to make a go around that fucking bug and then the temporary work around turned out to be nice feature. Great!! 😑 But I am not happy :( fml

I am really stressed out. I am an unpaid intern. I need the stress ball. Can I get 300+1's ?

Waking up at 4:30 am is a some sort of enlightenment. For example, today I figured out that using sudo with npm is generally a bad idea.
-_- Well...

I AM going to put parts of my SUPPORT request in CAPITALS to point OUT how annoy I am.

Fml how am I supposed to get any work done like this....

Hear me out. Ive been trying to fix this flutter bug for... I lost the count of how many days or weeks it was, maybe even months. I now got to the point of having borderline mental breakdown. I am crying because i cant solve this bug and there is no one to help me. I am on my own. All by myself. And im crying.

Here I am, a year after product launch, deleting features that delayed launch, introduced complexities, doubled the database load and made me miserable, because we figured out nobody has ever used them.

I am currently a CS major, studying in a toxic university that teaches no more than old-school stuff.

I know HTML, CSS, and JS (self-taught), and at present, I am spending time on React.js.

I'm also a competitive programmer.

I badly wanna move out of this toxic educational environment and wanna do something that's worth spending time on.

I am feeling like I am just wasting both my time and money in this old-school university.

what should I do? help me out?

I am thinking that once I am fluent enough with HTML, CSS, JS, React, and some database stuff, I must start finding jobs in small startups.

badly need some guidance. PLEASE HELP ME...

For the first time in a very long time, I am out of a software engineering job. I have no idea why I am handling this so well. I literally have no idea if I will get another job or not but for this month, I am working on myself and learning more on FP which is really fun btw. Is this maturity?

I suggested we make a feature that has a checkbox that is greyed out and always selected. It would have words describing what the checkbox does. This would inform the user about how the feature works, but won't allow them to change that behavior.

So I am ready and willing to create user hostile software features. I am ready to work for Microsoft.

I am feeling physical sickness nausea headache and the compulsion to vomit because i cant figure out how to fix this bug for almost 7 days now

I am happier using a terminal than using a GUI for most things now, I can never figure out which submenu I need to open to find the thing I need!

How do you find motivation to learn new things? I am not saying regarding new technologies or frameworks.
Other stuffs.

I am 26 and I am starting to continue University but I need to learn for TOEFL and SAT. (Long story short, I dropped out because I had to move to USA, and it was choosing USA or University.)

I am working as Software Developer here in USA, but I am preparing to study in University. IT is kinda difficult to find a job here without a degree and I got lucky that I have one.

I start learning for TOEFL, easy stuffs. Just learning how to prepare for it. After 30 minutes or less I zone out. Start thinking about other stuffs that are not related to anything. Daydreaming.....

I am thinking I might have ADHD, but still it is just a though and I do not want to go to doctor and get diagnosed.
Or I am just lazy and kinda depressed that I do not have motivation for anything.

So, I am asking you dear devranters, how do you find motivation for university?

Ask me to build a backend system with AWS services, docker containers and ExpressJS/Laravel, I am down with that.

Ask me to move an image to the center of a div, I am tapping out.

I am supposed to conduct an Angular2 workshop for my juniors. Just found out that their subjects had changed and they don't know HTML or js, only C.
Why do they do it? How am I supposed to teach them Typescript,Object oriented,HTML, basic Nodejs, Angular in 4 hrs...

11 pm: Me: I'm going to go to bed after I fix this bug!
3 am: *Pulling my hair out trying to fix the bug*
Me: HOW IS IT 3 AM ALREADY!

I am going to set up my own mini company and I am wondering about the name I will choose. Definitely want something strange and sarcastic like "undefined" or "null"...but these two are already taken? I was thinking about "1;DROP TABLE users" but it is too long. Any ideas out there? xD

Today I am an awesome because the major Ruby upgrade went out the door to production with zero downtime. What makes you badass today?

How did you learn to think "like a programmer"?

I am starting to learn C++ and I am trying it out on exercism. I am really at the beggining but when I make it work after so much frustration(based on devrant posts I guess that's part of the job) I always see people having shorter/better/more effective codes which makes sense to me but I wouldn't thought of it that way.

Is there way to make such thinking better or does it simply come with practice ?

Hi there everybody! Just joined the community, an aspiring Java developer (just started learning a few months ago so I am nowhere near calling myself a "Developer"). I'm committed to becoming a developer, and I am trying to join every community and every conversation out there possible to immerse myself as much as I can. Any advice, guidance, people/conversations here to look out for, anything that will help me in my Journey would be greatly appreciated!

So i applyed for a remote job recently and they assigned me a project as a test. The only requirement is i have to use sails.js as framework along with angular. I am thinking of quitting before i even started. Two days reading the sails documentation and it sucks big time. I am searching how to use sessions and it explains me what a session is. Fuk dis i am out.

So I was going through rants and saw people disliking the rants vocally. I started upvoting the rants. I smiled to myself.
So I stuck in my thumb and pulled out a plumb, oh what a good boy am I?

How to approach job applications for EU and US market?

I have applied at multiple places and have never made it even to the first stage. The jobs I apply for, pretty much match my experience level and stack.

Does this have something to do with visa issues since I am from the Middle East?

Or is there something else I am possible missing out on.

Is it bad that even though I am doing computer science in college I still feel like I am missing a lot of knowledge? Like I’ll come out of college without knowing things that people with information technology will know or things that people with computer engineering will know.

I feel like all the job descriptions out there want me to be a combination of CS, IT and CE.

I am a human being... I have feelings... I have a family who love me... I have friends who hang out with me...

I am treated worse than Katie Price (for American readers insert some talented hoe with a penchant for plastic surgery).

My name is Andy and I am a Project Manager *sobs*

This is Project Managers Anonymous ... Isn't it?????? 😕

How engineer am I?
Wife and I just wore out our third coffee maker this year.

I am lying down on the floor because I cannot figure out why this specs pass locally but repeatedly fail on the ci/cd pipeline. Literally done everything now I just want to lie here and sleep.

Completed 1 year of experience in web designing and development today...
I haven't even passed out yet. I am still in 4th year computer engineering....
Hands on experience teaches me more than college lectures....

So turns out I am making a blog about my attempt to make a Facebook but not clone for my wife and her friend. Any blog naming ideas? I am thinking "Facebook but Different" haha. The idea would not be sharing direct code, but more of a devlog and coding choices(as a backend dev, I am sure the front end choices will be perfect and Superior to all front end developers' choices 😁😁)

Is there a good, free software only, security and privacy focused Linux distro out there? I am basically searching for an OpenBSD but as GNU/Linux.

so because of equipment limitations I am currently being paid to be bored and watch someone else try to figure out what is wrong with their code. I literally just want to build.

Never had a job before...
I am just pissed out with my life.

Off all the websites out there, I think GitHub should know the importance of having a dark theme for the site!

It's 1 am and the night is still fresh..

Was really motivated and started out with Android development.

Android studio is sick as fuck.I am struck in the second step.The only solution I can find is "try restarting your system".

Like wtf arrrgh!!

After gazillion times of restarts later. Finally, I am giving up.

Thank you google, now go f*ck yourself.

My biggest insecurity is that people will one day find out that I am not good enough!
I write clean code and do all the shit around it but I don't feel good enough.
Imposter syndrome is for real, sometimes!

I work out of HQ office of my org and perhaps the only one from my team.

My boss will be working out of this office as well.

He is currently visiting, before he relocates full time.

I have my first in-person meeting with him. I am super anxious and want to avoid it at all cost.

Half asleep here, I was doing a large manual backup to a mounted directory... fast forward an hour and here I am issuing umount just to find out I forgot to mount that directory. Fuck me.

Out mowing lawns for cash today.
If anyone has a Bush that needs trimmed, I got you.

I also make landing strips for a living, and am a professional at matching drapes with carpets.

I am currently in the works of designing, building and extending an CRM/MRP system for production lines.

But for some reason I cant seem to find ANY modern sources, papers, books, forums, threads for context on this topic. It’s as if this topic doesn’t exist.

(One thing to point out is that there are sources for business wise analytics but am looking design wise)

I am starting to think that i am not googling it correctly (what a boomer).

Do you have any magic sources, captains of devrant?

Up until maybe 7th grade (I am now 19 and a first-year in uni) I used Internet Explorer. Even when Firefox was out and about, I still used Internet Explorer. Now, I use chrome and Firefox interchangeably

My complete day consists out of waiting for CircleCI. Why the hell is it slow af today?
I feel like playing fuckin Hay Day and am waiting for my carrots to sprout.

As a software developer, are your limits only to clear out the requirements and do the work, even if it does not make any sense.

I am a creative person, there are some CX changes and I want to suggest some ideas. But is it not my place to do that?
Am I forever stuck on the requirements and development part?

Cox may crap out a lot, but I am pretty damn happy with my connection speed. This is all the way at the far end of my apartment too. #FuckYeah!

Anyone out of Los Angeles? Just seems like most of the community is in Europe 😂

So I am doing a rework of my OS installation and since Mint KDE is running out of support, i thought i would switch it. Any reccomendations? So far im thinking about ubuntu Budgie.

They think I am responsible for every website and app out there. (Ex. Can you make Facebook do ~insert ridiculous request~?)

Umm... NO!

This freaked me out... I am watching a video when I decided to check out medium... And what is the top story about? The V8 Engine....

I am learning to use Node.js

Yess it came out!!! I can finally read it!!!!! I am so damn happy right now!!!!

I am back again after a year of hibernation out from this app 😦

1. Finding what I really am
2. Time out for Travel out of country from work
3. Buy own Car
4. Marriage 😜

Fuck, Twitter! DevRant is where it’s at! Anyway, what’s some good music to jam out too while programming? I am into all sorts! I am sick of my playlist.

I am thinking about trying to get some work as a freelancer until I get my first full time job. I am thinking about smaller businesses who needs simple websites.
Any advice from anyone who did something similar? What should I look out for?

Fml
Why can't I still figure this shit out?
This is supposed to be easy!
Its a freaking USB communication!
It IS easy.
So why am I stuck?
Fcuk me.
I got shit ton of stuff to figure out and this is where I'm stuck?
Ugghhhhh!

I am currently trying to figure out how to deal with this frustration of putting everything that i'm learning in practice. I've been studying for a long time and I don't know yet how to start my own project, and I have so many ideas. This feeling is very bad. Am I doing something wrong?

How do I interview or access a potential teammate? What are the things to look out for and what are the appropriate questions to ask?
FYI: I am a Frontend Developer

So, on top of all my rants from the past... i just noticed that new coworkers, the ones that are just starting in our company are getting brand new macbooks.

Meanwhile i am frustrating the fuck out of my slow Windows machine that i rebooted twice today because it didnt do shit anymore.

I am fucking done here!

after testing out siri I am disappointed. long way ahead for ai

Ok so it turns out i have to get mad so i can be driven to go out and work out, u know to just do some physical exercise

I have no motivation to do that when i am at ease and peace of mind in comfort

I have to get vicious and fucking mad so can someone make me mad?? Preferably a girl cause girls have perfected the art of making me mad

I am so broke right now. I hope I can find some money or else I'll be living out of my car.

I am the nightmare of the recruiters. They're reaching out to me and I am giving them back every experience I received while I was a junior.
I'm arrogant, not responding, gaslighting, shaming, slow responding, sometimes I build up hope for them and just stop communicating with them.
I am a bit sorry but at the same time it feels extremely satisfying and I feel revenge.

I am never in my best form when I'm fully conscious and logical.

I have to be semi conscious for good ideas to come out.

from what I've experienced so far.
