”Are you planning on having kids in the near future?”

Shower Thought :
I wonder, in the future, since people is easily offended by everything, variable naming would be such a concern it'll be seriously implemented in the compiler, and be like
"Error at 16:1 NamingConventionError : 'fuckThis' is not linear with our guidelines"6 -
Anyone else out there embedding an artificial delay in a splashscreen, just to shorten it in a future release so you can add to the changelog: "optimized startup time"?

Manager: The way you built this doesn’t accommodate any of my future plans!
Dev: What future plans?
Manager: I have a bunch of different ideas, I haven’t decided which ones to go with yet or how it will all work but you’re making it so we’re running out of room in the UI. It’s too busy, you need to clean it up so we can add more stuff!
Dev: …10 -
Supervisor: let's automate this stuff
Me: great! let's do it to last and future proof it. So, as changes happen we can implement in-place upgrades efficiently without taking the system down

Became an uncle to two beautiful girls the other week. But the plan to make them the future tech support of the family is already in play! Hopefully they will exceed me in about 10 years, I'm a front-end dev so it shouldn't be that hard...

I hate cliched lines in office.
When someone I respect leaves the company I don't say "Good luck for your future. Keep in touch". I shake hands, look them in the eye and say "It's been an honor"
On a birthday I don't say "Happy Birthday". I say "May you grace the cover of Time magazine" or something else related to their aspirations.3 -

Ideas for future weekly question:
- Where will you see yourself in 5 years?
- Do you automate tasks when developing and what kind of automation do you write yourself or use?
- What do you think about hooking up with someone from work?
- What are your thoughts about books in IT?
- How do you make your workplace comfortable?
- How would you change your company if you became the boss today?
- What are your thoughts about the future of computer input devices (kb & mice)?
- What are your prevention measures agains Skynet?

Linus Torvalds, while writing about the future of Linux in his autobiography 'Just For Fun', said Linux will be used in cell phones in near future. He wrote this in 2000. After 16 years, we see Android (based on Linux Kernel) in over a billion cell phones! What a visionary! Makes me wonder!

I wanna meet the dumbass that decided it was a good idea to teach scratch, basic, java, or even python as a first programming language course in college.
I’m so sick of seeing developers out of with shitty code structure and practices, and absolutely no understanding of what is going on behind the scenes of the IDE when you push run.
In order to be a good engineer you MUST know the basics, the root level, bare bones, bare metal shit.
I fear the future, less and less software engineers are comming out of colleges, the majority today is script kiddies, and folks with some basic java experience.
Who the hell is going to be writing firmware in the future then?
It’s insane the lack of foundational skills these students get in college. If they would get a strong foundation in C, and C++ they can easily attack at problem in any language, but missing the foundation, and relying on IDEs.. you will never be-able to go from a knowing only a high level languages and scripts to Lower level problems.
RIP the future of Software Engineering
Welcome to the hell full of script kiddies26 -
anyone else make grand prediction in the past which turned out to be bit off like:
"Silverlight is the future its going to replace html/javascript" :))
"Windows Phone 7 is going to take over from Android and Apple"6 -
If there are bugs in your code, the problem 100% of the time is that you’re not using Rust. Just rewrite it in Rust, and all bugs, security, and performance issues will disappear. Any software not currently written in Rust should be rewritten in Rust. Rust is all you need to know as a Software Engineer. This future is Rust. Welcome to Software3.19

Dateline: Twenty Years in the Future

I started a new job about a week ago in an R&D software house which is a completely different world from what I am used to.
I worked as a coder in small teams, sometimes with Agile but always sunk in multiple projects at once - requiring constant switching of sprint goals week to week.
Now, I am alone (first person in a "maybe-in-the-future" team), doing research and preparing a demo for the client. It's hella lot of responsibility yet I found it weirdly liberating - being on my own, in control of what I do.
It may change in the future when project will inevitebly grow, but for right now, a week in, I started smiling while coding and learning, which I apparently haven't done in years.2 -
Tomorrow's my first day as an SRE intern.. wish me luck fellow devs and engineers :)

Answering several emails per day from annoying customers.
Estimating expenditures of possible future projects for offers.
Calls from the management. Calls in general.

One thing when working with a ton of data:
If there is a slight, infinitesimal probability that something will be wrong, then it will 100% be wrong.
Never make assumptions that data is consistent, when dealing with tens of gigabytes of it, unless you get it sanitized from somewhere.
I've already seen it all:
* Duplicates where I've been assured "these are unique"
* In text fields that contain exclusively numeric values, there will always be some non-numeric values as well
* There will be negative numbers in "number sequences starting with 1"
* There will be dates in the future, and in the far far future, like 20115 in the future.
* Even if you have 200k customers, there will be a customer ID that will cause an integer overflow.
Don't trust anything. Always check and question everything.5 -

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Future projections & Live General Section
Added some future projections like SocialBlade, where you can see your score in the future, according to the stats in the last 30 days. Therefore it will only be available after storing the stats for 30 days.
Also made the complete "General" section live now, and replaced "Live Score" with "Devrant++ Member since".
So now the values are updating every second! (Using EventStream so not working in Edge Browser lol idc)
Have fun!
Feedback is appreciated!20 -

Hated function naming in python, because some functions are like "dothisorthat", some are "do_this_or_that", some are "doThisOrThat", some are, I don't know, what new technique of naming would python devs invent in the near future. Honestly, these naming creeps me out4

Whaaaat? Now i can't even say in public that i would like one slave robot in the future because it would sound too nasty or pollitically incorrect?
Don't know about you but... python sounds more nasty to me...7 -
Anytime I see someone put "future" and "AI" in the same sentence, all I can think of is spambots advertising crypto scams, or scams promising to recover the money you as an idiot lost to a crypto scam, or a betrayed lover who utilized our premium haxor services to confirm that their spouse did in fact suck off the entire Wu Tang clan.
To which I conclude: what future? It's even worse than regular advertising and much more expensive, a regression in nearly every way.4 -
Not writing tests for your code is like leaving it unguided in the hands of future Devs who gonna just change something and break the core logic and there won't be any regression test to run and check the integrity.

Who else gets tempted into writing methods they believe they will use in the future. This over engineering is getting in my way 🙀8
-
My biggest sin is overshooting the problem - developing something "with the future in mind" which ends up way more complicated than it should be.
It works, works great, but nobody can maintain it because of the complexity, and because I usually write no comments in these situations.
But hey! At least I'm aware of it and working on fixing it in me.3 -
Me: Where is your unit tests?
Dev: I tested manually and it worked.
Me: What if there are changes to the code in future?
Dev: We'll manually retest the implementation. It'll be fine.

I am excited about all of the AI blockchain technology using IoT running in the cloud, as a service. It has all of the bells and whistles -- big data, hyper converged infrastructure, seamless integration, a sleek dashboard with everything in a single pane of glass. On top of all of that, it's future proof!1

Facebook be like: "We'll never sell your data to other companies. We'll just do ourselves what other companies like Cambridge analytica did, but more aggressive and better"
Apparently they are predicting what you'll do in the future and how you'll behave based on what you did in the past. This will give them the ability to sell ads based on what your future self will do, thus leading to your future self being forged by those ads.
This is extremely dangerous.

I am looking for some advice on common practices when doing a programming job for someone else.
So i took a pay-per-hour job from an acquaintance who wanted me to develop a little tool in a web environment. I finished the tool in 16 hours and now its time for me to hand it over. I will probably do more jobs like this for him in the future.
Is it common to add the guy as a collaborator on my git repo, even when there will be code from future projects on there, that will be in-progress and not yet paid for?
Should i develop on another repo/fork and only push 'public' code to a shared repo once my work is finished?
Should i share source code at all, or only share compiled/deployable project folders?
I am not familiar with the common practices in this aspect of the programming business; this was the first programming job i got.
Thank you for all your (future) replies!2 -
A Python-Brainfuck compiler written in Python. In future it will be a separate language, but for now I use directly Python even for the language.
All written in Python, without external library.
His name is MurPy, at the moment it has variables, if, comparisons, else.
Now I'm working on a multiple subroutine support2 -
Best part of being a dev is knowing only so many people know how to do the things you do. And it's not that hard really, but you know... people.
So there'll still be demand for my work in the foreseeable future. And little competition.2 -
My favourite task for when I had to kill some hours in between things is almost completed and I really liked it. I hate the fact that I have to do more boring or annoying tasks in thr future when having a few hours.

TFW when you have to solve that problem that has snowballed into a huge problem now that you initially saw it as a "I'm sure this wouldn't be a big issue in the future" kinda problem.
#FML1 -
Sometimes I just want to see the world burn.
Unfortunately I'm the one who'll be ranting once I get back to that in the future.

Maybe we hate sales/business people so much because they're always thinking about the future while we are in present.1

What are the most important qualities you look for when hiring new devs? What are the biggest warning signs for you? We're gearing up for interviewing devs in the near future so I figured I'd ask the devRant think tank its thoughts on the matter.9

The concept of personal assistant programs is really starting to take off, and I'm super excited to see what is going to happen in the future3

Hey guys, I’m from the future, year 3740 to be specific. I used this and now I’m stuck here in year 2024 in Pakistan’s stone age.

My hero is Matthew McConaughey from 10 years in the future. That Matthew McConaughey's hero is another Matthew McConaughey 10 years further in the future, who's hero is 10 years further still. It's infinite recursive Matthew McConaughey to the end of time.
What I'm trying to say is my only hope is to crash this simulation and end my depressing non-McConaughey existence.6 -
Shit... watched too many videos about AI. Now I'm convinced human coding will be obsolete in the near future...
Hello code block, long time no see...1 -
Confucius - "Study the past, if you would divine the future"
This also apply to many things in life. -
In the factory of the future, there will be only robots, but also one man and one dog.
The man will feed the dog, and the dog will keep the man away from robots.12 -
People do not know the value of simplicity... They want a system that does EVERYTHING ANYBODY EVER wanted, forgetting that this approach will always cause problems in future2

Investigating volt db right now. Anyone has any opinion on this one before I jump onto the hype train?
I'm afraid I'll be posting a lot of rants in the near future.1 -
i was thinking i should kill myself if AI can design websites and write programs in the future.
so i dont have much time, what is the best way to commit suicide?5 -
Question..
Is it safe to stay with PHP or do you think js (in backend) is the future?
Php (laravel,..)
Js ( Angular, react,..)14 -
I hope that sometime in the near future Microsoft starts syncing the settings of Edge. So that every time I format my laptop I don't need to switch the search engine from Bing to Google!3

Programming insight #4
Even if code is repeating just twice it's still better to add it in a function/submodule and call the function/submodule twice.
In future, if a bug comes in that section it's quicker to fix it at one place than at two different ones thereby reducing the cases of missing unhandled bugs.
TLDR: The lesser the code is repeated the lesser are future bugs in code2 -
How do i get the motivation to keep working on a job which requires me to constantly edit different excel files , knowing that it will only decrease my chances of getting a better job in tech in the future !? I dont think i can even find jobs which pay well now.1

What is that one technology/niche that YOU feel will have a major impact in the future?
Would be really interesting to know how different/similar our thoughts are on this subject.9 -
They have monster-of-the-week shows, medical-case-of-the-week shows, murder-of-the-week, mystery-of-the-week, legal-case-of-the-week...
I wonder if in the future there will be one about handsome Data Engineers and the data source of the week. -
Can we mix cocktails (of course not with soda) and keep them in the fridge? Just like how we compile libraries for future use. I'm too lazy (read Aussie) to mix cocktails in the evening while watching a movie or playing Ace Combat 74

I've ran into a couple coding roadblocks and have been able to get a perfect solution using GPT-3 in seconds. So wild to think of what it could potentially do in the future!1

C was my first thing in 10th grade, now I am in college, in touch with some Java and Python, and hopefully some more in the near future.

I just got the best pe of my carrier.. Got some extra cash, and new future career path goals..
sometimes it’s hard being in this industry, but when you find a great team, you’ll know by the support
🍻 happy Friday! -
We're in the future, folks! I love it when applications do this unexpectedly(only in my pet projects tho).

Just spent an hour salvaging some code from an app project I abandoned so I can reuse it in the future and add what I salvaged to a portfolio of small things I've made.
It was a simple multiple player name menu that generated player objects once the user was done entering names.
Loads of potential future uses.
No point letting it sit inside an abandoned project even if it is somewhat trivial to reproduce. -
I can't imagine how exactly not being a dev feels like :D (in the sense of skill, not profession). I honestly believe it will be part of primary education in the not so far future.
So actually I need reasons for not to be a dev :) -
Discussion.
Do you think Linux distros will be used less in future because of M$ and Android OS improvements?

Question to the Gentoo-Users,
What profile do you use?
I want to switch to gentoo, and the desktop-profile looks like it emerges quite a lot if packages that I won't use in the near future1 -
Where to begin?
- I purposely overestimate because I can get away with it in current job
- I test in production like 50% of time in current job
- I deploy during working hours
- My javascript is a sphagetti monster in current intranet implementation and I am sorry for the next future maintainer after I'm gone...1 -
when you don't know the timeline of the project you're working on. So you don't know if you should rewrite everything to be more flexible in the future2

An entirely sentient AI. Saved on a floppy disk.

My team leader said to implement some dynamic tables so in the future we dont need to program anymore.1

I'm cringing so hard about my posts.
What was I thinking when making them?
I'll let them live to remind myself of the pain.
Hopefully I won't post stuff that I will cringe about in the future anymore😂2 -
The title of the text is in bulgarian and says " the windows of the future"
And down there is a windows logo as a company.
Wow. Windows is window of the future.;)

This is my new girlfriend (hope she last more than the latest one). As well, I'm actually thinking she's gonna be replaced by a better one in the future. I feel like a king of kings now reading and writing on my desk sitting in here.

Guys, how do you structure branching in an enterprise project?
We're using git, managers are MIA, I'm basically helping another new guy kick off and maintain the projects that we have.
What would be a good branching strategy? Front end and backend in the same project, 5 man team in the future.2 -
I traveled back in time and broke the wieners, arms and legs off of all the ancient statues.
Edit: Second Baz here from the future, this joke will go down in history as the best joke ever written.
Edit: Third Baz here: Are you guys doing the time travel joke? -
This might be a stupid question but due to the rise of services like Wix and Wordpress that make creating websites a breeze, will web design and development die in the near future?3

In your country, does companies make you feel uncomfortable to always be a developer at 35 years old ?
A french guy afraid by the future.1 -
Most deadlines we get are unrealistic... but not in the sense you think. I get to do a task and you can bet that the deadline they tell me at that point is not gonna be the real deadline because they will keep pushing it into the future. Happens in projects with many stakeholders...
-
Far as I can remember seems like they made excuses as to why things wouldn’t work in the future years back heh
-
they say don't talk about the future. well the future is come and gone so technically its the past and all you people are trapping yourselves in it for no valid reason. looks like i'm going to be imprisoned in the near future

Which Web-Framework is better, or which Framework will dominate the market in the future?

Looking into the future to see which features user actually use and which decisions really bite us in the ass.
Alternatively: Force Choke (for reasons). 🤗 -

What is your view on the trend of major companies towards virtual technologies such as AR, VR and MR? Is it possible in future to replace computer with these technologies?5

Developing in Unity for Android.
>install UMP Pro for Android, iOS from assets store
>latest version on store: 1.7.3
>documentation in the plugin itself
>wow that's rare!
>open documentation
>"User Manual"
>"Version 2.0.3"
Wtf? is this documentation coming from the future? -
I just wanna be at the point in the future where I can play drinking sports like disc golf and smoke fat doinks for an entire week if I want to. I want to become a God.1

so in the future it makes sense to have a digitized voice tell you that you picked a cherry out of a bowl. so what happens if you keep eating them ? -
Optics matter. You could be doing a shit job (as a developer), but if you keep up the good optics with the boss, agreeing to build a calculus app in the future, even though the multiplication api you are currently working on keeps throwing error, you'll look good.2
