I just started working on a little project to browse devrant from terminal. It converts images to ascii art!

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.

During some late coding I started wondering why on earth someone beamed a headlight through my window, until I realized it was the sun...

I got a lot of stuff done though
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Engineers don't memorize documentation. They know how to use it."

Programming felt insurmountable to me before I started with it. This phrase blew my mind and changed my approach entirely.

I found this in the HTML for Hackerrank. I started laughing and thought you guys would enjoy it as well.

"I didn't understand what you did, so I deleted it all and started over"

Started watching Silicon Valley last night and I must say damn is it addictive. S1 was complete by morning.

I'm proud to announce a new project made by myself and @thejohnhoffer, that started on devrant.

We started collaborating after I made a rant about machine learning and, since then we've been working hard on a plain language blog that simplifies machine learning concepts.
We call it learn-blog.
Check it out at ironman5366.github.io/learn-blog

First rant here!

So i just inherited this legacy application in my new job.

I started looking at the code and it just doesnt make sense!

What the fucking fuck!!

So guys i really need your help. My girlfriend started getting phone calls at odd hours, so I got suspicious and started tracking her phone. Then I found out that she has been going to this guys house at wears hours, then once when I was tracking her my computer froze, so what could it be? How do I fix my computer

Started using VS Code yesterday. As a Sublime Text user, I love it!

Tried to exit MS Word with :wq and started wondering why it isn't closing before I saw the Windows logo.

Started repairing this radio from 1954 - I bought it for only £12 from a charity shop!

I just started using git. it is unbelievably useful. What an idiot I was that I didn't start using it earlier. I LOVE GIT!

Started using Vim and the more i use it, the more using regular editors feels like a waste of time.

So my wife started learning coding and web development. I am quite impressed how fast someone can learn it (she started from scratch, with No knowledge before)

When i started learning CSS I thought `!important` will put the property's precedence to the lowest possible level, because, you know, I thought it means "not important".

I am a tester by profession, But I love coding. Sadly my organisation doesn't allow people of my profile to install IDE/ Programming softwares... So I had to work with what I had... VBA, MS Office...

I started to work on few small Ideas, then I and a friend worked on a macro which automates a 5 year old manual process... It became a Hit ! It changed the whole process... My manager started to highlight it everywhere... Other manager started to come to us for helps....

So I learnt MS Excel Vba, then MS Access vba... started to become an expert...
Now the whole onshore and offshore management knows us by name....

This excitement made me explore other programming language band fell in love with Python and JavaScript...

Now I made a virtual bot for my manager....

That small project paved the whole way of my programming passion...

I started learning php at age 15, copying code from tutorials, changing stuff until it worked. Now 10 years later I still copy code from tutorials and change stuff until it works...

3 people for developing the prototype including me.

One person knows unity. He started modeling the terrain in that.

Another person knows 3D modelling. He started designing the bots.

I don't know unity or C#. I started implementing the logic :/

It was the worst experience but learned shitloads from it in 2 days.

People always asked me how I got started with Python, I always have to come up with a reason to hide the fact that I started using it because I like the name

I had just started learning the MERN stack and they deprecated it yesterday. Perfect timing, as usual.

when I was first started out, I was trying to test out a file delete and renaming program I made. it deleted itself. never even knew how it happened. it was effective in deleting though.

my retarded landlord upon finding out that I have neither Viber nor Skype started doubting that I'm working in IT

Gaming anytime!

The reason I become intrested in computers was gaming.
Given I started out as a game dev, playing games helps me think more about it and imporve my skills.

Also sometimes it reduces my productivity :P

For about 6 months when I started coding php I didn't think indentation was worth it so all of my files were like
}
}
}
}
}

Learning Vue.js was pretty amazing. I just started using it and got it. I think, with any tool, you know straight away if it's something you will work with rather than against.

Only slightly tech related. So proud of my mom.
Many years ago I helped her create a Facebook account. As it happens with most older people, she started sharing false news that she saw on her network.
So I taught her how to verify. Reverse image search. To google it and if no real news site talked about it, it was fake.
Anyway, she listened and started learning.
Now she is telling people when they are posting something untrue and I even taught her how to report false news posts.

It's weird. I started a little chat with like minded foss/linux lovers and i started it with me and three other devRanters and now we are growing so fast! Weird but proud that I brought a lot of like minded people together 😊

Only site which helped me alot to get me started in advance git commands was : ohshitgit.com
It also helped me when i started contributing in open source
Check it out :)

So I started teaching my younger cousin how to program in python and he's enjoying it a lot so far :)

I've been spending 30 minutes in the bathroom ever since I started using devRant. It helps me to cope with constipation

I hate it when I'm in the middle of a refactor so big I forget why I started it.

Hm...I would except since COVID started, moved back to my parents, so use my dad's laptop for work... He uses it on weekends.

I just started using VIM + TMUX instead of VScode and so far I love it :D

Found this in a code base I just started to work with. I'm glad it wasn't referenced anywhere. This is going to be fun...

Started new job.. left Facebook.. and joined devrant.. much productive week it has been. Hopefully I will find new friends here.

I loved Java very much..
Then i started using it.

I just started learning it, but SQL is really cool 😎

I learnt vue.js and thought it was awesome. I started reading react documentation today and now I realise vue.js is even more awesome than I first thought.

Do you guys dream about programming?

Tonight I was dreaming that I was building a client for some API and suddenly it started responding with 500 and then sent me a 50X "metal sound" (I don't remember the actual number), that meant the server was doing noises because of a mechanical failure.
I thought it was cool (because metal 🤘), until I realised the server was running on my laptop.

I started panicking and then woke up.

By the time windows was extracting the file, I downloaded 7zip, installed it and extracted the file and started editing the files

Just started learning swift and iOS development. OMG I fucking hate it so much.

this week started like shit, but today it seems like everything fell into place. the interns are working, the bs code i had to change works, i did more than i expected, plus i just cut my hair and it is cute as heck

TL:DR: I'm terminally addicted to Tea.

I have been drinking tea twice every day since 6th grade. I'm almost 30 years old now.

One day I decided to quit tea altogether. And at 6 PM that same day, I started to lose color from my eyes. The whole world turned black and white.

At about 7:30 PM, severe depression kicked in and I started questioning why the hell I wanna keep on living and not end it all.

At that point I ran to the kitchen and made tea and drank it. 2 mins after that I started to see colors again and the depression went away.

It's kind of funny now that I look back at it.

So I'm trying my hand at home brewing beer. I started my first batch 2 weeks ago, and finally bottled it last night. It should be ready in another 2 weeks! I can't wait to try it; it smells delicious 🍺

"I couldn't fix the test so I commented it out."

"I removed build timeouts because our jobs started taking that long."

Next I'm waiting for "Compiling the code is good enough we don't need tests" before I lose it...

Wow..I just noticed that you can upvote a rant by double tapping on it ..just like instagram.. I just started instagram..so noticing it now..

Now that I think of it, I also started with this.

Started working at 3:30am today.
That either means I am dedicated or stupid. Maybe both.
For sure, my boss doesn't appreciate it, so I guess that makes me stupid then :)

I have a confession to make. When i started programming it was done in my room all alone for around 6 months. I started watching porn while programming. And eventually only watched porn while coding to a point where I got turned on by programming.

I'm not sure if this further stimulated my love for programming or dimmed it. But sex and coding are now linked in my brain.

A long time ago I started with PHP, now I just want to stay clear of it...

Today I started coding an encryption algorithm I'm calling Aepples (apples)!! I'll let all of you know how it goes!

I started out learning Python. And before you "tsk, kids these days", it was before Python became the go to starter language for a lot of universities. No, I started learning around age 12.

My dad (a programmer himself), bought "Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner" and we went through it together. He started out holding my hand as I went through the exercises, but pretty quick I was getting through them mostly on my own.

It was really fun, and I'm absolutely going to do the same if/when I have children of my own. The books exercises were all games, which made it really fun. Instead of "hello world", the first program printed "game over". I was super proud of the hangman game I eventually wrote.

It gave me a leg up when I started taking actual classes, and really instilled a love of coding and puzzle solving in me that propelled me through two degrees.

I think we all know who the Atlas really is.

I've had this feeling ever since I've started my IT career.

I started interning at a non IT Company, first thing I did was fix the printer 😂
I guess this is our destiny

About a year ago I found this old desktop in my storage room. I plugged it into a monitor, started it, opened a game, and the game was running at about 5 fps. Unplugged it, opened the cover, saw loads of dust, got rid of all the dust, started it again. Fps increased 1000%.
Moral of the story is, CLEAN YOUR FRICKIN COMPUTER.

I started learning React today. I have no idea what it does, how it works or how it does those thing. But i am already amazed.

I started learning Rust! It awesome :) Zero cost abstractions, borrowing system, lifetimes.

Isn't it obvious?

He ran the most well known tech company at the time; who I wanted to become when I was a kid when I first started programming.

I remember when I first started programming and used to be scared of classes. I was thinking about it after I wrote several today like it was nothing.

Shit. That's not a rant about coding

> fuck microsoft

Started learning js 5 days ago.
Its so trash and all over the place which makes it able to do anything in weird ways

Not sure if I like it. I miss java.

We got it! Only took just over a week. Thanks!

Best pic I could get before the little monster started eating it.

just started learning Kotlin since this morning. i love it !

Last year I wanted to experiment with some 35mm film, so I got a 1978 Canon A-1. I was pissed when people started asking me how many megapixels does it have!

My loop checked a variable, then the next 5 nested loops checked it again, then started over. It was a hard coded variable I forgot about.

I just made my code OCD

When I first started playing Red Alert back in the day. I remember thinking yup this is it.

Created 'GET STARTED' section in our application in English. It will guide new user to Highlight some App features.

End User started Posting screenshot of it in our feedbacks service : What this is?

Implemented 'GET STARTED' in local languages.

End user started posting screenshot of Language Drop Down, what this is?

Implemented 'GET STARTED' on Location based Language.

End User : I am here in Banglore seeing it in Different Language, my other Partners in Hyderabad are seeing it in different language. What this is?

Removed 'GET STARTED'.

End User : It was a nice feature. Why you removed it? What this is?

May be i over reacted but i am not bringing it back.

Recently started watching Silicon valley and I'm already in love with it!
Too bad it's not on Netflix and I have to watch it... you know... somewhere else.

How I felt after spending an entire afternoon planning and designing a new feature for a project only to realize half of my design was wrong after I started implementing it

Just started learning Node.js, I hope it will be fun!

I started programming when I was 18. Now I am 22 and I am programming Machine learning and and AI.

You don’t have to start when your 10 to be the best at it...

*It's too early*

Opened a rant and read it, then I started furiously started double tapping before I realized that that does not work there.

EDIT:
wait that works, I should really go back to bed.

I just started twitter, and I am thinking of deleting it...
So disturbed.

They think I am a baby.

So after someone mentioned Haskell in a post, I googled it and started some kind of tutorial.
It's fun!

I should be studying but i started working on my last idea (read the rant), will probs post it as a collab once i got something that actually works

I started programing when I almost failed at some IT class 7 years ago when I was 16 in high school. So I started googling how to do basic stuff in java (if, for, while,... ) and I just fall in love with it 😊 I still remember how I wanted to make a button in Java so I googled: how to button in java 😂
Here I am still in love with it and I think I will always have this need to learn new programming languages, technologies, frameworks,... 😊🤓

I don't know if programming it's really for me.
I started programming because I needed a way to escape from my life. When I started I was in a really bad situation, no friends, bad grades and other shitty things. Programming helped me to regain self esteem and made me happy.
That's it

Started learning NodeJS...
Now I have to npm install brain to think 😕

P.S: I like it though😂

Analyzing code from stack overflow until i get it, before i use it.

that way you can pick up lots of useful features about a language or deepen your understanding for a topic, especially when you're just getting started.

Recently started to listen to (IT/Programming) podcasts and enjoying them quite a lot. Any suggestions on podcasts I should check out?

I was teaching this girl today how to make a poll in slack and her computer was so sloooow. I started fixing her pc and she was really happy about it

My insta story: Hey geeks, I started a new project. It will be the AI code human readable maker and simplifier. Coding started,will be up soon..
Project progress:

Started doing Java because i thought it had much better libraries than C++ .Now after doing it , still not able to decide whether to stick with Fucking Java or with that Fucking C++ LOL.

I started turning up here cause I find it very relieving to rant about my problems and know that people are indeed listening. bless y’all.

I thought I was never going to be anything in life because there was nothing that I was good at. Then I started "web school" and it just clicked. I was good at it and I understood it. Finished with an A :) now I love my job as a front-end developer.

Sometimes I forget that HTML is a language it just feels like second nature sometimes and I started learning less then a year ago

in the early 2000's I started installing Firefox on my high school's computers. about a month later it was being deployed to every one of them

Working 18 hours per day was tough, at the beginning coffee helped a lot. However I started loosing friends and the little free time I had, I spent it drinking, lonely in anonymous pubs, trying to socialise.
Workload increased and stress started to affect me, so I began smoking weed to relax.
To recover and work with renewed energy coffee was not enough anymore, I started with pills, amphetamines, coke, crack. After the biggest deployments I would disappear for days in an opium den.

Work, it's a gateway drug.

The rest of the team in my bullpin have started to wear headphones more, I wonder if it has something to do with my new mechanical keyboard...

I just started using noise canceling earbuds and holy cow does it change things.

People talking and traffic blasting down the street in front of our office are my two biggest distractions on any given workday and I haven't heard any of it all day. It's heavenly.

I also have a brown noise machine I sleep next to and I've started dreaming again because I get actual restful sleep again.

I started when I was 14, 6 years ago, and I was trying to create my "google chrome" in VB.net (yep, a browser)... Fortunately after that newbie beginning, I started to study IT seriously at a technical school, and now I'm a student of IT engineering at university.

Gotta admit that after being forced to code using VBA I started to like it in some way..

It all started when I commited my server password without noticing...

TL;DR: Reinstalled the server, delete + recreated the git repository 😢

A rant from git,

Why do developers always PUSH and PULL me around. I mean they don't just do it once or twice. No they COMMIT to doing it over and over. I try to REBUILD myself, but it is hard getting pushed and pulled constantly. I don't know the ORIGIN of where it started, but gosh I wish the bullying never started!

Had a bug that I just couldn't figure out. How did I solve it? Had to think like a user. Just started clicking options over and over. Not giving it time. Found my issue.

Oh.. Fuck.. I started loosing my motivation to work for my current employer.
Unfortunately it is one of the best option available at my location. But nevertheless I think it is time to find greener pastures.

For as long as I can remember I watched my dad at his computer doing work and programming, so I got interested in computers. I started using and mastering computer skills when I was 5 and helped people with their computer problems. I was hesitant to learn how to program because it looked hard, but I eventually have I'm and started to learn Java at 12. I started by making Bukkit plugins for Minecraft (1.7.10). I learned to program, because I knew that computers will one day help people, and I wanted to help people too.

I've started using CakePHP and I LOVE IT!!!!

Started dabbling with Python.... I like it.

Just started to make some UI designs in sketch to try it out at least once. I have to admit, it makes a lot of fun ^^

Spending 2 days trying to figure out why code signing wasn’t working when deployment is started from teamcity. Every time I tried manually it worked, but through teamcity it just kept telling me that no certificate could be found.

I finally twigged what the problem was, my code signing certificate is smart card based and you can’t access it if is requested from a RDP session. I had launched the teamcity build agent from an RDP session a few days back without thinking…

Rebooted and started the buildagent via VirtIO VNC and low and behold it started working again.

Update Table_Name Set Column_Name = ‘New Value’;

Commit;

I did this on prod and my manager started screaming on me.

Is there any issue in it?

I stumbled upon this job requirements, and I started to wonder.
What do most employers derive in looking for an IT team in one human being??
This is so graphic jeeeez.

Spending hours trying to figure out why the stack just won't work with SSL. Nearly lost my mind as we started feeling dumber than ever. I really started to doubt my skills after it did not even work with the most minimal nginx site config I could imagine.
The next day I discovered that we missed the 443 port mapping in the docker-compose file...it only had port 80 mapped.

Yup, stepping back from a problem and getting some sleep is really worth it sometimes.

Started a new Factorio run.

Started implementing logic gates in it.

Started to think if I was half as OCD and productive in my code, I'd be an awesome developer.

Started to cry.

(for those of you who never heard of it, Factorio is the best building sim game ever)

Btw, I started building in react, I am just loving it!

Spent half the day trying to make something work. It wasn’t working before I started and I wasn’t making any progress. I don’t know why my changes weren’t working. So I yanked out everything I changed and put it back the way it was before I started. It works now. I don’t know why it works. I give up. 😂

At first, my family was like "Don't waste your time on the computer, in college, you will learn how to code". I didn't listen, I started learning C#, but somehow I ended up learning C++ lol. Then I started with C, assembly, and SystemVerilog.
After they saw how good I was at it. They started supporting me. I don't blame them for not supporting me at first, they were ignorant about the topic, so they were blindly making assumptions.

no one taught me how to host anything web, i had to figure out how to get things live by myself. it was awful, documentation on that stuff sucks, but i got through it knowing far more than when i started.

I have so many projects I have started and then get distracted and then I start another project and then it repeats.
while alexIsDumb{
keepDoingDumbThings()
}

I wanted to install this new software in our cluster but it didn't have Cmake on it, so I scp Cmake source files and then I started looking for a CMakeLists.txt file for compile it when I suddenly realized what I wanted to accomplish in the first place 😅

Since I've started writing in clojurescript a 1.5 yrs ago, I can barely look at JavaScript.
I started to realise how ugly it is.
Seriously waiting to the day browsers will work with clojurescript out of the box, without the need to compile.

The language is so clean, clear, easy and data oriented, I find it hard to go back to js.
Also, the docs are much better.

Long live concurrency !

I mostly work in Java as a backend developer, but lately I started a frontend side project in Angular. Man, Typescript and SASS are awesome! Totally love it :)

I started using i3 window manager and My productivity Increased to 70%. I'm sure it'll still go up as I get used to it. I feel like I own the device now!😂

When I first started coding, I always assumed my code was working without testing it. Now, I assume the output is wrong if get it right on the first try :/

Blockchain

So I started researching on Hyperledger and it's associated tools today. Looks really promising. There is so much to read and understand.

Have you started it yet?

Noone !!
everything i know I taught it to myself ,
when i got stuck at some point I figured it out myself ,
There is no dev that inspired me for
coding, i just wanted to make cool shit so started coding

I started for this but now I really enjoy it here.

Started working on the adding posts page of my cms project. Been running into issues, but I know I'll figure it out :)

I started in school and i thought it would be enough. My father convinced me to look into php and i inhaled it. Now, 12 years later, I am a self employed web dev and I teach web development. Thanks dad!

I picked up an HTML book for kids when I was about 11. I didn't code again until college. I started as chemical engineering, but that wasn't really my thing.

I decided to take a computer science class and loved every bit of it, so I switched my major to computer engineering. I also started learning LAMP stack development in my spare time.

Since I was a child I had always been interested in computers and when I bought a MacBook Pro at the age of 15 I discovered that I could make apps for iOS for free with Xcode and figured I could try it out. Started watching swift tutorials and shortly fell in love with programming. I then started building a stupid camera app, and published it on the AppStore. I am now working on my second project called ChairGame (musical chairs) I am 16 now and confident that I will become a developer.

We've all started to have our cameras turned on on online meetings, namely dailies, and I love it. Makes it so much nicer to interact with colleagues.

!rant

I love ruby????? I just started learning it so far It's so good!

I’m running 1.5km every day for two weeks already. Anxiety still strikes sometimes. Depression is measurably better, but it was getting better months ago when I started taking fluvoxamine, so I can’t attribute this to running alone.

Running will help me in another way though: my mental health will definitely be going through the roof when I look in the mirror and see the beautiful, albeit scarred, slender body I posessed before it all started.

It's been 5 years this month since I started learning programming, getting interested after learning about Linux, wanting to do operating systems and games.

I started with C++, went on to C and assembly language for about 2 years and gave up on it for the most part.

Afterward did Java for two years and hated every second of it! Switched to Python instead (been using it since 2.7.5).

Now I do Haskell and JavaScript and those languages do everything so much easier I can never see myself ever going back!

Best dev experience was coding one of my favorite board games. I started it early on in 2016, and while it isn't completely do finished (AI needs work and tweaks to the UI), it is functional for hot seat play.

I started doing it because I wanted to make a game and learn some things I didn't know, specifically I was interested in making AIs with different strategies. While I set out to learn this, I've learned so much more along the way.

I'm still really happy when I get to work on it, and having something to show people (that they can actually play!) is a great feeling.

I just searched like half an hour for a book.. Then I started tabbing to Google but it wasn't working.. I was a bit shocked when I noticed this was real live.

I'm trying to learn Dart and Flutter, so I started with the Getting Started materials.

1) Downloaded JetBeans
2) JetBeans refused to use my existing Android SDK so it downloads its own
3) JetBeans still doesn't work so I switched to Android Studio
4) Android Studio can't find an SDK and it crashes while downloading the SDK
5) Now Unity can't find an Android SDK

-,- come on.

So I upgraded my project to a new version of unity.

And my character stopped jumping.

And then it started jumping.
And stopped.
And started.

After 2 hours of debugging I found out that the RigidBody2D editor fucks up physics.
WTH

I got loads but it all started when I was a wee script kiddy.

I built a virus when I started a simple program to send to people for a laugh. It would send you a message "you are fucked" with a countdown of 30 seconds and it restarts the pc 😳 😎

I don't know what's wrong with me this morning. I started refactoring, and I know I'm overdoing it. I can't stop myself. I'm stuck fiddling over it like a meth head scratching his skin.

Please stop me. I'm hurting the code.

I think I'm obsessed with Docker. Started off as a PITA and now I can't seem to do a project with out it :/

Today I started with Vue.js and it's amazing. Why I didn't learn it before? 😍

Just as the virus started, shitton of companies just cancelled our services. We already started dropping the price and I will probably have my week reduced to 10h (with an accordingly lower pay) .

At least it will be remote.

I started working officially, schedule is shitty till now. I hope it improves soon.
Maybe I will be able to properly rant from now on.

So I started using git submodules. It seems I've walked into something unexpectedly cumbersome.

i started a new job as a BI consultant. I thought that it included programming but it does not in my case :/

I changed nothing but now it works.

It's been over one week since I started battling this bug. I guess I'm glad it's fixed, but how, and why?

Started learning COLEMAK today, hard but still a lot easier that I thought it was going to be!

At age of 14 me and my friend started writing browser based game.. It was written using php(no DB, as .txt files where our DB) after that I started writing silly little web applications. I have never learned it in uni or any other place...

In school i had to do a simple HTML site(i was 13 back then). And i started writting it in guess what... Notepad
Thats how i felt in love with bare code

I was working on an android project this morning.I started android studio.
I went and made a cup of coffee and had it,came back still gradle was building

When I was 8, I was just casually using the computer I had, and then I suddenly started asking these questions in my head, “how does all of this work? How does the computer know when I press that key on the keyboard? How does it know I moved the mouse to the right?” And so on and so on. So I started searching for answers. Then I saw code examples and stuff and I told myself that I want to understand this and just started learning. Hooked ever since!!

Anyone else doing Snackdown 2019?

I joined after it started in a team by myself.

3am and I have more bugs than I started with, but at least if I press this button it comes up with "Youre doing great keep it up"

I had a small look at rust this morning and thought it looked interesting, after seeing the speed of the language I started learning it. here I am 3 hours later conclusion: I LOVE IT

Started to read JS from scratch again, there are lots to learn. I will continue with ReactJS and possibly NodeJS. Wish me some energy! It is hard.

Anyone else usually WFH on Fridays?

I noticed a lot of other people doing it so I just... quietly started doing it too. My boss is remote so I think it’s okay... at least he hasn’t said anything yet 😏

I thought it would be a good idea to name my dev blog after a common runtime exception. I started looking up un claimed domain names. I guess stackoverflow.com is taken. Next idea... indexOutOfBounds...?

Finish at least one thing I started in 2021

* Learning Latin
* Learning Unity
* Learning Flutter
* Working on a personal app idea

God, why is it so hard to follow through with something I started? :/

Boring one here but it was University. Always wished I started sooner. It would have been such an advantage.

TLDR: I've become what I used to hate (without actually knowing it).

I used to hate large companies and their way of working (bureaucracy and stuff). I always thought that I'd work for start-ups, until I started developing my own stuff after work cause now I have to work 9-5 instead of the 9-inf before. Well, it was nice sharing this. When I started working here I thought I would not be able to handle it. But it seems nice so far.
Cheers everyone.

It all started when I got my first iPhone. I had so many ideas for any kinds of apps, so I wanted to learn how to program them. I went to school and learnt programming. (I started with Java)
While beeing at that school I taught myself Objective-C and I started to write Apps. After school I got a job as an iOS Developer.

Started to learn Rust on valentine's day. Maybe I can fall in love with it.

Since yesterday I had problems with mouse operation. It turned out it all started when I put my Bluetooth mouse into my backpack. And to think that I suspected the touchpad.

Started the Course "Web Development with JavaScript and DOM" a week ago. I love it. First time I've tried Bootstrap. It's great.

1 year a go i took angular js 1 tutorials and I was good at it then . I start working with c# and asp a lot. And when I started learning angularjs 4 it was like learning another language WTF

Hey guys,

i just started learning HTML. so far it is going well alone which language to learn is the easiest after this?

Thanks in advance!

When everything kind of just clicked.
I was struggling with learning how to program for quite some time when I first started, but one day I'm not sure what happened but everything clicked. It all started making sense and I felt like I could do anything with code. It was on that day that I knew I was going to be a dev for life.

For today I had to implement a Strategy Pattern solution for dynamically loading items in a view. So, I came in the morning and started doing it, finally after some time I acomplished it, with one strategy, so when I started implementing the other ones, everything went to crap so I thought "Okay, lets checkout to how it was on the morning, just to realize I leaved yesterday without commiting.

I wanna kill someone

A few months into teaching myself programming (I started with ActionScript cause it was readily available on the school computers) I realized all these games that I play, and that millions of others play, I could make.
I then started remaking pokemon red in flash which I never finished.

So from today I noticed my intellisense started to behave. It used to be dumbfuck and refused to tell me anything

Software engineers new to iOS didn't know how to pronounce segue, so they started pronouncing it "seg". It spread, and I am now arguing with senior architects about how to pronounce it properly.

It is day 4 since I started trying to export my Flutter app for iOS. I am finally at TestFlight point.
This....
has been.....
....exhausting.

!Rant
I just got some free swag :D

I put it on the HP logo, didn't think about it sinking into it, it looked shit before I started to press it on there

It turned out quite well though, now I like the HP looking through

But now I can see how misaligned I was...
it's going to annoy me :/

Once upon a time I was thinking if I should do IT or another career. I started to wonder "Boy, I think I should learn how to program...". Then I watched Shia LaBeouf's JUST DO IT. Well, I didn't have much choice then besides doing IT, did I?

One year since I started programming I feel like I haven't made enough progress. If I have an idea, I don't know how to get started with it.

When I finally figure out a good starting point, I get stuck in Tutorial Land and I feel like I should be able to do things myself with just the documentation instead of doing beginners tutorials y'know?

Having great ideas in mind don't know where to begin and I see Iron Man Movie ... AI.. thats it. I want to make it and started with C....(html,css,c#...etc.. ignored)... Jumped to Python.

Best/Worst dev experience 2017:

Well I started my DevRant-Stats site and got my RandomQuote bot up and running again (although the quotes aren't as good as before)

I also started a little company with my friend and made some sites for clients.

I reached #13 on Sololearn in Austria! Kinda proud of it.

I learned Lua and Ruby which are one my favorite languages now!

And as always I started some side projects that I've never finished...

Don't remember everything I experienced in 2017 but these are some I won't forget.

Choose my editor/ide based purely on other people's opinion.

It started when I knew literally nothing about programming. It got better over time, but I still tend to trust other people's opinion before mine

Someone here told me once that according to him/her OOP was often overengineered and I was wondering why.

Then, recently, I started diving deep into Symfony. And I got it.

I started learning programming by downloading phpnuke and tearing apart the source code. Before WordPress became popular there was phpnuke :) Google it you youngsters

Was bored so I started doing the python challenge. Got to part 2 and started decrypting the message by hand, then when I got to "that's what computers are for" I stopped writing it by hand and went quickly to the IDE to create an algorithm for it... Needless to say I got the message decrypted no problem, but insides of the message it says to use str.maketrans(). Which would've saved me 10 lines at least... That's what I get for not knowing what's available.

Coworker: I SSH into my liver every now and again. It's mostly to make sure it's kept up and running because I've blocked all the other ports to it. Once my kidneys can' handle the alcohol and energy drinks I'll start enabling cookies on it to help filter out that traffic.

Weird conversations with my coworker

Find an end to this story:

"It was late summer. I just had finished programming my distributed computation Service for servers, i felt so nice. I started the servers; looking at the small, dusty Screen attached to the meters of computers arranged to be a great server. But when it started booting i instantly noticed somethind being wrong:... "

I really don't know what to do with those projects which I started confidently but then left when it was about to finish because I lost motivation

Just in case I didn't remember when I started working from home, I have a quick way to look it up.

I guess it all started for me in the summer of 8th grade when I was 14. I saw all these javascript snippets for invisionfree forums, started learning javascript and html. later on I went into php development to make a arcade, it was pretty cool learning experience cause it used curl to login with invisionfree forums. a few years after that I got into c++ and I knew programing was what I was going to do the rest of my life cause there's no end to it

I didn't know what I should do with my life..... Then I started learning how to waste it in programming.

Why is everyone talking about this Silicon Valley Tv Show. I just started watching it, and i cant stop 😅😣

I started learning programming in college. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do but it sounded like I would enjoy it. And I was right!

I just tried random stuff and my code started working. I don't know why, but it does

Been ‘working’ on this game for the last 5 months now. I love making it but I haven’t gotten any where because there are too many bugs. Like, it’s all bugs.

I started the project when I started learning game development and with all the time I’ve put in it I don’t want to kill it.

Anyone else have a project that they are working on, where they don’t even make progress on it, they just fix bugs?

I prefer starting from theory and then proceed with practicing. For example, to learn haskell and deeply understand it, I started by taking a course in category theory and I already have a degree in computer science and then start writing actual code. The same with JS. I started with theory for JIT compilers and studied how V8 works, how it utilizes event loops and how they are implemented in the kernel. Then I started experimenting with code and demos. It's a success path for me, that has worked every time with every new technology.

Started learning php from youtubeversity.. then started teaching kids php, helps you alot too (to teach)..
Then I started at the University.. eh, its easy mode, when you already learned object oriented programming ..

Youtube, stackoverflow, looking through other people's code, editing it, breaking it, fixing it and various tutorials really helps alot.
Still where I get my information, not the University. But it depends on which type of person you are

Don't write tests for work code.

It started off because i couldn't because of the tooling but now i can don't have the time.

Started to look at vim (neovim). At this point I like it

I started writing my own programming language. It resembles LISP a lot but doesn't have a lot of features. It works and I learned a lot by creating it, but I wish I had the motivation to make it a useful language.

After more than a year working with smali I started liking it.

I just started coding for C#. How long does it take to be considered "good" at it?

3 months ago i started as a helpdesk support for a business application. This week i'm promoted as Junior Programmer worked hard for it but it paid off :)

I was always somewhere in the range of not athletic enough to be a jock and not smart enough to be a geek during high school so it left me in a fun little purgatory between social groups. Ever since I was a kid though I saw my cousin make flash games for fun and thats where my interest in programming started but I never really did anything with it.

It wasn’t until I broke a bone during a football game and couldn’t play or workout for 8 months that I started jumping head first into programming and IT WENT DEEP. After tearing through and intro to java book I started reading and watching courses about data structures and learning how to make mediocre apps and games. It was terrible as any beginner usually is but god was it fun.

Then college came around and I decided to major in computer science, got myself a nice starting job at a typical big tech company with an actually decent team to work with and I still have the same love for it all since I started with it.

Started by seeing an example of script in Batch and trying to recreate it, then I learned HTML, some CSS and JS and made HTA programs, then a little Visual Basic because I liked the idea of desining your own GUI in Visual Studio so easily, then I started High School and forgot almost all I learned. Sad story...

Saying I have 6years or experience, is it when I started learning it or utilizing it in my projects??🤔

at the age of 12 I was bored so I started with html as I wanted to make a website, at the age of 14-15 is started with pure php, at 16 I started my first IT study for second line support and at 18-19 I finished my first IT study and started my second IT study for support mangement and when I'm done with it I'm planning on doing a third one for data center engineering.

Update on my previous post :
It finally booted I don’t know what the issue was but I reinstalled the graphics drivers on windows and it started running

Lesson learned when I started working: never try to proove yourself customers will just try to abuse it.

I first started off with a pentium 3 machine in 2004, started gaming on warcraft 3 and maplestory and eventually got addicted to it because nothing else was interesting in my life. Okay extending this story, i eventually got banned, dad smashed 1000 bucks of his money by kicking and throwing it. Years later (i think it was 2011), i got hold of my first Android device. This time round, things were different and I spent 6 months with it problem free and then it started lagging. Google search led me to XDA, started modding the device, eventually startedgetting interested about how people do it and voila, C prog, write some management drivers for malloc and etc. Eventually i dropped kernel development 3 years later and now im in .NET Core.
