People who says jQuery is a programming language should go back to
alert("hello world")
exercises.
Man, I hate those guys

Colleague: I have an error in my application, can you help me?

Colleague: Tell me your secret senpai

If DevRant had a shop, I would be broke very soon.

Six months ago I got hired for the first time in a company.

Before that, I thought that I was somewhat able to do programming.

A few weeks in, and I realized that I know shit.

Luckily, my colleagues are very patient and very skilled. I have learnt a lot more in this six months than years of self teaching.

Anyone like me?

Changing from Windows to Mac be like:
CTRL+C
***** that's CMD+C
CMD+C
CTRL+V
***** that's CMD+V
CMD+V

And so on until you get used to it 😂

That sad feeling when you live outside the US and shipping for swag is 13$ :(

devRant app should be Open Source for us to help in the development

I think A LOT of us would try to bring ideas and improvements to the app and service overall :)

Worst interview I had: no interview at all.

I have exams today...
Wish me good luck 😭

Does someone know why arithmetic left shift changes the original binary number's sign (1 to 0,vice versa) , but arithmetic right shift keeps the same sign?

A telegram @devrant Group exists. Check it out!

Yayyyy, they have just arrived 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 thanks @dfox

Almost out of High School here in Italy, and about to go to University
In the meanwhile I'd want to gain some money using my programming skills... How should I start?

//not a rant
In Semptember I will be attending information technology at university, and I was wondering what kind of laptop should I buy:
optimal screen size? (13.3 or 15.6)
ram? (for VMs)
processor?
dedicated graphics? (or should I just stick to integrated)
I will be mainly coding, running VMs and school stuff(maybe some casual game like League or Minrcraft), so I was wondering if you guys could help me out with the decision

My family got our first computer when I was in the 1st grade and I really liked it a lot.

After some years I saw someone code and I was like "What's that?". After they explained me what they were doing I was totally hyped and started searching tutorial videos on how to do simple stuff on VB (this was in my 7th grade, I believe).

By the end of my 8th grade I was introduced to a Computer Engineer that lent me a RoR book and tried to teach me the basics.
(Fun fact: around this time I was doing a Habbo clone server with a friend of mine so that we could play with our friends without all the other people poking around).

In high school I took a Computer Technician course where I learnt stuff like VB, C#, PHP, MySQL, some basic CSS/HTML plus some hardware fundamentals.

After that course I tried to enter college and I failed on my first try, so I took a gap year were I worked as a dev for my family's computer repair shop. It was really a good experience to have time for myself while working on what I loved.

Now I'm on the 2nd year of a Bachelor in Computer Engineering (It's more about software than hardware actually), currently working with Java, C, IA-32 Assembly and PL/SQL. My goal is to get a Masters in Software Engineering after it.
