When you start reading someone else's code and all you do is properly indent for the first 30 mins so you can actually read it.

"That's ok... to test the app I'll just have my daughter play with it. She just clicks stuff randomly... basically like our users" my CEO is actually pretty awesome

I must say, this is the only "social network" where I actually post stuff and also enjoy doing it

Thanks @dfox

Gave aways some servers today.
They had 128GB RAM and 24 cores.

I am happy actually, thoose kids is going to learn stuff and hopefully they they choose IT in the future

Manager: The thing you working on. We need this now! Like end of the week.

Me: Desirability is not do-ability.

Manager: く( ・◇・)ヾ？

Me: I am still in the middle of figuring out how to do things in the first place, so there are some technologies to research and some problems I yet need to solve. I am in no state to just write down my solution. I don't even have enough information to even estimate how long it is going to take. I am getting there. And yes, I can rush things, but need I remind you that you want solid data as a result that actually means something? As this is *why* this whole project was started. We have some old project doing the exact same thing, but whose output we don't trust. I wonder how that came to be. Additionally, this whole project was on hold for months until I took over. So I neither understand nor accept this sudden sense of urgency. And by the way, you recently added manpower to this project. And adding manpower almost always decreases the productivity in the beginning due to on-boarding and communication overhead. Last Monday, I didn't write a single line of code due to that. So no, this week will not do, as I am also on vacation starting on Thursday that was requested and was approved by you at the beginning of the year. See you in January.

Interviewer: Do you know what Kubernetes is?

Dev: Yeah, that’s the greek god of spending money in the cloud.

Interviewer: Actually Kubernetes is an orchestration tool. Have you not been on a project that uses it yet?

Dev: …

If you are copy pasting code from somewhere else, spend some time and effort to understand what that piece of code is actually doing, and how much of your requirement does it satisfy.

I know that it is an unpopular opinion but I actually like Java.

For some reason my tech enthusiast mind gets really enthusiastic about the fact the Google calendar icon is now based on what date it actually is.

The day i found out how GitHub and Git actually work and how easy it is to manage versions rather than having a zip archive in Dropbox. I grew up so fast...T_T

Sleep deprivation may have made this funnier than it actually is, but I can't NOT laugh when I see it

Have you guys heard of the term "smart " as in "smart city" or "smart phone"
It actually is:
Surveillance
Marketed
As
Revolutionary

CSS is frustrating because nobody actually times time to learn it.

*reads JSON license*
"The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."

Well that's actually a nice license.. if only nuclear research etc could be licensed like that.

Wait actually.. WanBLowS is using XML for its "diagnostic data", right? I always found it so weird that they don't use JSON for that.. but I guess that this is why 🙃

"CSS doesn't put the fun in fundamentals. But it can make it bold."

Oh my god, that's so bad is actually good.

I said I would do something in 2.5 hours, and I actually did it. This is really freaky.

Buying courses in Udemy (or similar), is like paying for a gym membership.

Sure there are some who actually use it. But the vast majority is like: "Now that I paid for this, I'm sure I'll get around to using it..."

I think my most favorite part of programming is when I just try something out and it actually works despite really just guessing.

This is my colleges server room, it was built by students, for the students. I have attended this college for two years. Every day we here it whirring away. Not one day have I seen one student actually use it.

There is people actually doing this, believe it or not 😲😂

How long is it ok to wait before telling my colleague that the Windows Update-screen he's been watching for the last 25 mins is just me giving him a lesson in "Win+L"? (He's actually just watching fakeupdate.net)

Today I was asked to decide on a handheld or "madonna" microphone for a conference I have to speak at in 2 weeks. Its time to come clean, I never thought the day would actually come, i'm far too terrified to actually go through with it. I just wanna write code in my dark little corner and be left alone. I wonder can I get out of this or is it too late

... or is it actually a valid rant...

My whole desk smells of "student life".
And I didn't wash the dishes forr... Actually ever. This picture is for you high-tier folks with jobs and fancy setups

KEEEPING IT REAAALL

This is my Research Purpose VM, It had been lying around unused for too long.
P.S. I know my specs suck actually

Yep... That's probably how it actually is and why everything I get is high priority...

Genuinely for me the satisfaction is when you write code that does really complex shit and your happy that it actually works.. Seriously satisfying

Just spent 20 minutes implementing a utility class.... then realized I don't need it...

The solution is actually much simpler... only takes 1 line of code...

You haven't actually *begun* to learn anything until you've shouted FUCK THIS SHIT (or some variation) out loud at least once.

The anger is what makes it stick in your memory.

I'm just gonna say it.

Microsoft Edge is actually pretty good

AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO READS THE CSS !important RULE AS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT SOMETHING IS _NOT_ IMPORTANT EVEN WHEN IT MEANS THAT IT _IS_?!!

Just kill me.

Is it true that Alan Turing actually managed to crack an Oracle DB Error Code?

I got my first Linux server for Christmas! This is the first time I've actually used Linux and it's awesome and way less complicated than I thought it would be.

That moment when the you actually think that this huge refactoring isn't worth it, but you do it anyway so you can live with yourself...
Code quality is love. Code quality is life.

I am roughly 12 hours away from a deadline that seemed pretty impossible.
I finally got everything to work, it seems I'm actually going to make it.
After so many hours of frustration, despair and walking in circles, it is finally fun again :)

When lot of people are actually using you open source software and contributing to it and donating money for it, but you don't know why given the fact that it objectively is complete crap.

I feel bad each time that I receive money. Is this what the "impostor syndrome" feels like? Because I'm actually feeling like an impostor.

Well... My MacBook is officially drunk 😂😂😂

Was testing a code that I made 😅 it actually didn't use more than 8 GB memory lol

Stop using 5 year old, terrible drag and drop website designer which uses inline CSS and JavaScript and let us actually write it. They (barely) teach us html and then say that using a website designer is how it works in the real world. They actually disallow us writing it from scratch. Just glad I taught myself it already!

Front end dev be like:
Me:
This is greatest design concept ever!
Why isn't it working? It was working yesterday.
This is the stupidest design concept ever.
It works! It works! The client is going to love this as much as I do. It's exactly what they asked for!

Client:
Actually, can you do something completely different?

I gotta say... this shit is actually really strong especially when you grind it to espresso “dust”.... and put it in a Moka Pot.... don’t drink more than 2 coffee cups full .... it’s crazy

The screen wasn't perfectly mounted so I unmounted it from the wall for now and rotated it. For a dev this is actually pretty cool :D

when you spend 3 years at University studying Software Engineering, and your step dad asks you, " so what is it you that actually do?"... 😐

There is a function for creating random numbers.
So with the same inputs , I must get the same output.
So it is somewhat predictable.
So it is not actually random!

Am I tight?

I got in an argument with a co worker, she says that mass surveillance programs are "none of my business" and I shouldn't care how they operate.

ACTUALLY, ACCORDING TO GOOGLE IT IS MY BUSINESS.

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

Android Q is actually pretty cool, instabilities here and there and I can't seem to get TWRP to boot on it to get it rooted, but overall it looks pretty usable already, especially for a developer preview.. go go OnePlus 😁

I guess gitkraken is actually serious about it, they now added mobile apps too

This is probably dumb, but I felt genuinely let down when there were no options for facial hair for my female avatar.

I actually waited for a moment, thinking maybe it was just taking a minute to load, but then it hit me :'(

I think my IE knows it's crap & is trying to hide.. xD
Actually took me a second to locate the little mofo on the desktop O.o

Ohe yeah, this is actual window size it opened itself in.. the picture is not cropped.. only magnified when uploaded..

Both the PM and the client wanted to see if the app is actually working on the demo ,so I just showed a dummy dialog for 3 seconds;They actually fell for it.

Makeshift standing desk to see if the hype is actually worth it or not.

10 minutes in: Not really feeling it. Could be because it's 1:20 and I'm slightly tired, or it could be the fact I'm kinda lazy lol

Oh god, where to start? It is my job to fight against devs that likes to breaks RFC, do stuff stupidly or just do not actually know how stuff works

Dev: The requirement is not clear. This seems to be a general usecase which you are thinking we might need but we won't actually need it.

Manager: You have to do it. This is the requirement. No other option. Don't ask any questions.

...... One week later....

Manager: Why is the team not open to me?

Huh. ES6's variable destructuting on objects is actually pretty cool.

var {foo, bar, baz} = obj

Is functionally equivalent to this:
var foo = obj.foo
var bar = obj.bar
var baz = obj.baz

I like it! Makes things simpler.

wondering whether the fact that I'm avoiding people to extreme measures is part of my identity and it is completely fine to be like that or is actually an obstacle in realization of my identity and I truly should do something about it

As the first and only dev in our family[including relatives], I find it really hard to answer them whenever they ask me about what it is that I actually do at work.

Code it in binary

(My friend claims to code in binary, is this an actually applicable thing or just a novelty thing to impress people?)

So a Developer not using a React-native component library because it is backed by Microsoft
This is next level shit

PS:- the library is actually pretty decent

Full devRant in-app notification support is here! It actually took me WAY less time than I thought it would take me.

I found it funny that we're actually debugging our code on prod. (while the client is using the system)
Looks like I'm playing minesweeper. 😂

ps. will never do it again
pps. don't do it
ppps. you should not

My worst nightmare is microsoft take over linux development. And well it actually happened.

Created a variable in the middle of a rant with JavaScript and named it as an acronym for "mother fucker", it actually worked what I tried to do with it... "mother fucker" is in production now

VS Code. By far. It's a testament to how good it is that I'd actually use a Microsoft product.

Holy shit i am learning angular for the first time and it is actually pretty fucking cool!

Fuck why is there no dedicated button to turn autocorrect on and off, that would be so useful, because I actually typo a lot on mobile, but the learning of it is trash, so for basic devrant stuff it's fine, but anywhere else it doesnt know what to do

Actually finding a job where this is true AND ALSO get paid fairly for it.

I wrote this and wonder if it is actually useful. This is a function that eliminates the need for document.getElementById. In the HTML you just set an attribute (jsv) to some value and this scoops that up and puts it in the global scope for you to use.

Neat or shit?

life is too short to spend it by learning all the time and not actually enjoying to be alive.

discuss.

This is How I actually feel using Windows again after some time.. please wait. It will Just take One Moment.

Everytime im coding with a friend for our Android game. It's a lot of laughter and fun.
And awesome feeling if the first finished project is successful and people actually like it. :)

I'm regretting actually going to social events with my family. It goes exactly as I expect it:

Brother is talking to his friends, mother talking to my brother's friend's mom. And I'm awkwardly sitting aside on devRant...

Me: is it 2020 yet?

My Linux server: yes but actually no.

I find that writing a question for SO is more useful than actually asking it

Fuck you apple, and fuck your god damn shitty documentation.

Working with NFC enabled passes, their documentation says "payload max is 64 bytes"

What they ACTUALLY fucking mean is 64 ascii characters.

Also, the way they handle date time formats is fucked. They say they support W3C formats (iso) but what they actually mean is, they support a half assed version of a subset of it.

I told their chief engineer over a phone call and his response;

"I agree, our documentation is lacking"... HOW ABOUT YOU FUCKING UPDATE IT!

Also, how they handle json is just bad.

My biggest regret working for a company that is not willing to buy decent dev machine when they actually can afford it.

I know I rag on Javascript, but this is actually how I see it. It always did what I needed, but I am not enamored nor dismayed by it. I think the technology behind it is pretty cool too.

I did a thing. And I'm super happy about it. I just wanted to share.

I bought an LLC and have registered a domain name for it. I know there's a bit of a stigma about people who are always saying that they have ideas. But I'd like to think those with ideas that are willing to commit to them and actually create something with the idea instead of making others do it, is what matters the most.
Anyways. I'm not going to share anything about the idea because it is still in its infancy and I want to release it when it actually has traction.

Is it possible to find a fix to a bug while you’re having a lucid dream?
Because as soon as I woke up I ran to my computer and heck it actually worked!

Which would mean subconscious mind knows why every error is occurring and how to fix it.

Which means our subconscious mind is playing our conscious mind.

Superiority complex.

When your boss thinks Pokemon is actually pronounced pokeman and everyone else just says it wrong.

Does anybody out there actually really love their job? Because I do. I'm not sure if it's just me or that my job is actually great, but my coworkers are respectful, my boss lets me have control over each project's pace, I get to write tests and invest in refactoring, and I make good money doing it.

Is this just me?

Is it just me who looks forward to long weekend but when it's actually here, gets bored after 2 days and now looks forward to get back to work?
Or have I lost it?

What's actually the case ??

Some PPL say that if u want to be a great developer you should start using Linux immediately. Why is it like that 🙄

Is it just me or C is actually the best language to exist?

A funny story I just remember while my code is compiling :

Back in high school, in Math, we were taught how algorithm works, and we made some exercises with practical examples.

I didn't know anything about it back then, so was curious. Was pretty fun, but one day, my teacher said that a IF is a loop. I said "no, this is a test" but she keeps saying that it was a loop, ignoring me (I dunno if she actually heard me) and no one actually noticed it as she repeated it several times (while I was saying that it's not). I just gave up trying to say it's wrong.

That moment on Devrant that someone thinks your comment is a vigenère, while it actually was some random generated text in my pocket while cycling home.

devRant is awesome! :)

Not a co-worker but a personal friend, I am still developing with the dude. He is absolutely AMAZING when it comes to reverse engineering he knows much more than me in this area of computer science. Actually one of my first friends who actually geeks out over this shit.

Do mechanical keyboards actually make a difference?
Is it worth the dosh?
What kind of keyboard do you use?

Not sure if Google Assistant is playing dumb so it can cheat me out of a point or is actually dumb :)
Considering how well it works otherwise I'd say it's cheating :)

I'm working part time as I'm a student and I always thought working in a company would be awesome as I learned programming all by myself and could actually do things now.
30% is updating, compiling
50% is using google to find out if I can even use 27 .net frameworks together and make it work on Android and iOS
15% is finding out what the error code is supposed to mean
And 5% is actually using a programming language.

i think formal education is the best, because it teaches good practices and all the whys of programming. it requires a lot of discipline and effort, but actually sitting down and studying theory is good for us

I can't understand the people who are in love with Qt. Did you ever actually use it?

It has shitty UI components (compare them with Microsoft WPF or even WinForms), and it is fucking full of bugs. Really. I've never seen that many bugs in other frameworks.

I'm a Linux guy, but try .net if you want to see what a great framework is actually like.

Why can't every browser just interpret shit the same way, how hard is it actually to standardize the rendering?

Is it just me or did last night's apple keynote actually feel like a late April's fool joke?

My oldies, they take me back. It's actually amazing I got my hands on a prototype for an LG phone from way back. It was never released to public. Android is in my roots...

If your “solution” fixes the test case which is failing, it does NOT guarantee that it is the correct fix. You don’t just blindly change whatever piece of code you like to make just the test case pass. You actually also need to analyse the code and ensure that the rest of the intended functionality is still intact.

Is it weird that I'm actually starting to like regular expressions?

Like who the hell invented that work days start at 8 am? Can people actually concentrate from the moment they arrive at work? For me it is 9 am till I get some work done

It may be shocking to you if you are involved in management but actually pressuring people to meet arbitrary deadlines is not an effective way to improve productivity

At the moment I'm working on a project where every line of code is actually garbage. However, the client insists on continuing to use ZF1.

Zend_Locale is a mess. I've been sitting on it for five hours and nothing's working.

Working at least 12 hr a day is in my daily routine.
Each minute must have an exact purpose and should not be wasted
(That is just a theory and does not mean that I actually manage to do it everyday)

The main challenge with building a free education platform is to convince people to actually contribute to it. :(

That feel when an intern is tasked with implementing a web frontend for a project you're working on.

That feel when you open up one of the views and it's filled with JQuery spaghetti and your eyes glaze over.

That feel when you actually step through the code, and it actually makes sense and is remarkably light and clever for what it does.

That feel when you learned a bit more JQuery (a library that you never had any experience with before) and it made doing some more things an absolute breeze.

Thanks intern!

Speed programming contest

Is this a thing... it should be.
After years of practice
I can type and code very fast with in shortcut only style

It actually impressed a
Non techy girl

One thing that really bothers me is that people use use megabyte to mean mebibyte. What makes it even worse is that Windows does it too. It says it shows gigabyte but actually shows gibibyte.

Now imagined my frustration when I saw this D:

There is how you think a system works, and there is how it actually works. Unit tests help keep those two ideas in sync with each other

Converting one of my older projects to use functional components and hooks instead of class components and prop drilling. It's nice.

Though now I have this useState:

const [ disembodiedHead, setDisembodiedHead ] = React.useState("");

Promise it's not as creepy as it sounds.

>makes a bug report about the JS linter in Eclipse Che not working

> makes it a P2 bug (moderate severity)

> confirms in their current implementation it doesnt work

> escalates to P1 (high severity)

wow for once Eclipse is actually making their shit better

!rant

Learning many new things and churning out good code is so fucking satisfying!
And the best part is: it actually works! 😏🚀

This binary thing is actually pretty cool! It would be even cooler if we could configure which base to use.

QA: There is a problem
Me: Ok how do I reproduce it?
QA: You do x
Me: I have done x and there isn’t a problem
QA: Oh it only happens sometimes
Me: Fair enough, I’ll try a few times
...
Me: Are you sure x is how you do it?
QA: Oh no actually it’s y

FML

They said gpt got it wrong on the third question, but what it actually looks like is gpt3 used zero indexing and started from the end of the string instead of the beginning.

While gpt4 began at the start of the string, and also used zero-based indexing.

Makes a lot of sense actually, considering it was trained on a lot of code.

<html> <script> alert("Hello World"); </script> </html>
This will be my first line of code which is actually being used by users.

But is HTML it even code?

Refactoring is like dating. You have to remember stuff, maybe you're insecure and you may have to overcome yourself to actually do it.

But when it works out, it's great.

When in high school they taught UML they talked as it was vitally important also in medium-sized projects. How actually is it? Do you use it?

Good code is like a good video game. When you read it first time, it feels like magic, and you feel like it does more than it actually can.

How to make any piece of text irritating then it actually is...

A: add <marquee> tags ...

Irritating by how much?

A: add loop to it

Who here actually uses GoLang? I’ve thought about eventually adding it to my tool belt.

But while on the GoLang topic, what is it good for? I’ve heard it’s good for web backend but can it produce software too?

Why does it seem like most people despise Ubuntu even though it is actually a good Linux distro?

Legit question: Why are there so many people coding in javascript while so many people are saying it is actually a bad language? Why is everybody coding in a "bad" language?

React is so goddamn complicated please tell me all of this is actually worth it once you scale it up

Darn it! Why is q next to w? :w! actually works. Darn it to Heck!

Me, 5 years ago:
Light theme sucks, everything must join the dark side!

Me, now older and obviously wiser:
Actually, light theme is nice, it forces you to work in daytime, with less frequent headache.

Just review and merge my PR already!!!
Damn is it frustrating to see PRs stagnating after finally finding an open source project I can actually bring something useful to :(

So the gf just came home, threw this in my face (literally, but not intentionally) and said "they were giving these away, thought you might have fun".

I've only heard of raspberry pi, arduino and such, but never actually used one.
Anyone have any experience with this thing in particular? Can I actually do anything with it or is it mostly for learning?

Neo4j has to be the most well documented price of software after Linux... I mean ...holy shit! It is so fucking well documented!! I actually feel ashamed of the documentation I wrote this last week..

PM: Heyy team x, could we have a suuper quick 90 sec tops call?

B*tch, if the call is actually 1.5m there is no way we need that call. We can actually respond to your question in text quicker.

But I know you. You can't fool me that it would actually be 90 seconds.

It's also fucking Friday afternoon.

Is it just the algo, or are there actually many dutch folks (like myself) here on devRant?

Am I the only one who actually thinks Edge is actually significantly better than other browsers?

Like right now with 2 tabs open it's only using 17MB and it doesn't have any ridiculous features like an inbuilt video chat (looking at you Firefox). It's just simple and good at being a browser...

I like that in my browsers...

I did it, I know what the problem is. I want my boss to actually care about me as a person and growth rather than a cog for his system.

Is it weird that, despite the professional setting, when a client actually thanks us/me for swift/efficiently done job that I feel a little happier with myself?

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

Coding is my life duh... Actually, though, it showed me that with just a computer I can make anything without raw materials - websites, programs and lots of tears

Approaching the end of high school is really harder than it seems before you actually get to the last year. So many possibilities ahead!

cant describe it in words so i looked for an imagine that describes the current state of my mind. this is it.

actually, id like to describe this image as a spiral of infinite mental torment until self destruction.

You know pipeless, what this site is built on, actually looks like a pretty cool platform to work with.

Anyone used it? What was your experience?

(every time I end a post on questions like these, it always ends up *crickets*).

Fuck, is it worth learning PHP and WordPress to actually get freelance jobs? Everything I find is in fucking WordPress and I just need to make some fucking money

worst documentation ever => Samsung TV app documentation.
it is so rare that you find a function that actually works. sometimes you find a description about the function but it is in korean language.

Does anyone actually develop in Notepad++? I can't bring myself to do it because the UI is so dated nowadays, but the syntax suggestions are really good.

To me, writing authorization code for securing APIs is like having to fold an enormous pile of laundry and actually putting it all away afterward. It needs to be done but I'm not going to enjoy it.

Why in the fuck is it so hard to see buttons when kb selecting with tab in a browser? It's like:

"Tab....Tab.....Tab Tab Tab... oops, went too far,
Shift + Tab, Shift + Tab.... fuck!, too far left.. wait, is that button actually highlighted, oh it is too, wtf."

It's 2019, why is this still a thing?

My 1300€ Thinkpad is just a noisy and sometimes annoying laptop. It is sometimes so loud that my colleague is pissed off.

It is almost four years old and dust cleaning did not help...
I am so pissed off by this behaviour i am actually thinking of selling it and buying a macbook.......

This is crazy I actually bough a phone just for devrant total worth it, this morning I read a rant from someone thinking about wearing a tin foil to avoid NSA from spying on H ,your not alone, FYI this is how it looks like

I got a rubber duck that can say what my code is doing wrong! Well, actually it is my brother that just gives me advice on how I can make my code work lol

I like fridays because I convince myself that this is the weekend I will do some hardcore programming. Instead it is usually the weekend I spend more time finding a new series to watch than actually coding.

Should probably docker-compose down and stop kidding myself since constantly thinking you will do some work next takes away from actually relaxing and you end up worse off.

Linear algebra is a hammer that actually works well on things akin to a nail when wielded right. Do you have a similar wildcard that works everytime you try it?

When the best event of the day is a business phonecall and you are a developer.

Customer actually gets what we do, is excited about it and is willing to put in some effort.

Do you know how hard it is to find a safe, virus free YouTube downloader that actually works? Very hard. How about one that downloads a whole playlist? Impossible.

Why the hell does Google navigation always want to calibrate the phones compass when I just started driving?

Is it programmed like "Oh, didn't expect him to actually drive after he entered his destination, now quick, let me catch up on it now"?

working as developer, actually android and java. Maybe not a big deal for you but it is, for me at least

I've finally started playing a MUD game in my spare time. I gotta say, it's kinda awesome. And, BONUS: it looks like I'm actually working since the interface is just a text terminal.

New to databases - How is it that Oracle has been around for so long, yet have terrible documentation? Their support forums consists of condescending developers who never actually answer the questions and the forums’ format is just so bad.

I hope I'm doing it wrong and there is actually a way to tell who the sender is, like an Id? But fuck no Apple finds it using tags with numbers a fucking genius idea!

Again, I hope I'm wrong and we can actually do something like: sender.id = txtName.id ...

Sending a request to link accounts.
Response: {
errorCode: 200009,

}

Wait what? So I checked the docs and this is actually how it is supposed to work... >_<

ES2015 classes in JS
It is just syntactic sugar and i always feel like i need to transpile it in my head to what it actually is just not to loose perspective and make some hard to debug error.
It feels like language is trying to cheat me into forgetting how it works.

So there is this project of my firm that is comepletly dependant on Facebook api, I've actually told it many times to managers at first but they've just waved their hands over it.

Now what didn't happen. Facebook data leak and the api being taking down ..juust a week before the project going public.

Our app is still not reviewed and not able to access the so vital api and there are actually many similar projects getting published (even Facebook Local greatly rivals to our app, actually killing it because they have native data... And we don't have any. )

I told them again. "Nah we will have this and this feature that makes it soo exceptionall."

And you are sitting here thinking if the salary you have asked for is still good enough to stay or to run away.

(Well, I am still getting some coding experience from this so that's why I stay, and oh yeah I have the backend repo only for myslef because except the frontend dev no managers knows what git is. This is how freedom feels. )

Approaching our deadline and the project is actually turning out great. I love it

Apparently my clock is a Boeing 747-400...

It's actually a clock with a picture of the Sydney Opera House (and yes, I have a livestream of it using 'motion' on ubuntu.)

Over the course of a few months I have concluded that the newly hired _experienced_ developer is… not so experienced. In fact, it is very unclear what he/she actually brings to the table at all.

How this individual actually got hired is proof that middle management has no clue of what they are doing. And it is poison to the organization. Bad management (middle/semi-upper in this case) is such a waste. More so than the newly hired incompetent developer. I am beginning to think she/he actually lied during the interviews. And I am not alone in my suspicions.

Someone at my work actually got a rubber duck and him talking to this duck (himself) is really annoying at one point someone got over there and solved problem for him lol seriously, who actually says it out loud?

Is it normal to work at a company that claims it has an R&D department (in which I work), but nobody actually does the 'R' part... like never?
I think I have potential in researching. What should I do?

Why fucking windows explorer's search is fucking case-sensitive? I could not find any fucking option for it.

Edit : actually it's not but sometimes it couldnot find files

Every textual communication’s tone sounds rude to me. I don’t know why. It is what it is.

I always feel like the other person is being sarcastic or rude. When, infact, they actually are not.

Just.. *tired emoji*

Work wants me to scroll to invalid fields after validation on a form. Is there actually a use case for that? Because it sounds terrible.

My coworkers are great; they actually manage to solve problems in really unexpected ways.

Problem: documentation is not up-to-date with latest changes.
My fix: update it, make sure it has all the latest modifications.
Their fix: if there's no documentation, they can't complain about it...

ah, APIs... writing APIs is fine, even typing an API can be great! 😃👍🏻

that's it

No, actually, all of the above is invalid if you've gotta do it in typescript

Is it me or Microsoft edge after the update is crazy fast along with features such as saving tabs on the side, it's actually quite appealing to the eye as well..

Did you know you can fix touchscreen dead zones with an electric lighter?! 😮

I just did it and my mind is still blown that it actually worked. So much that I had to post it.

Finally learned what cygwin is for, and how to use it so I'm finally loving it. I can actually develop on Windows! 😀😀

So my multithreading optimization is now in UAT.... it looks like it's working and not crashing....

It seems it's also 50%... aka saves 1hr...

I'm having a rare moment when I actually feel good about and actually did something at my job...

CSRMESH QUALCOMM IS THE WORST!

I spent months still confused what their source code actually serves, it is so dirty and not even specific. They never update.

I should just go for Nordic instead.

It was making me anxious that I was the only one doing a PhD among my close friends. I actually was feeling like I'm not good enough for it, because those around me didn't feel like they're good enough for it. (ridiculous, I know. But it is what it is)

And then, one of my bestfriends went for her PhD. Her situation is complicated, so she actually didn't have much of a choice. But now I am motivated and feel like I might actually be able to do it. 🙂 Mainly because now I can at least ask someone close when I have stupid questions. 😁

It is starting to feel like less of an strange idea, and more like proper work. 😁

Simple question, I'm writing a coding course that does some cloud stuff.

Which cloud providers actually allow you to limit spending without some stupid "setup a service to nuke everything" fuckery?

As far as I can tell, Azure and Oracle. It's stupid how often this is raised as a concern for beginners and how hard it is to actually limit.

people who write code like this actually give me heart palpitations. No it is not cleaner, you literally broke the block, it's disgusting.

if(statement)
{
doSomething();
}

How much of ur job is spent actually innovating and designing new architecture and how much of it is just copy pasting libraries and preexisting APIs?

If there is something I hate, it's when peoples emails end with "Sent from my iPhone".
It literally doesn't add anything of value to the conversation, on the contrary it only shows that the person is either too indifferent or lazy to turn it off, or *shivers* actually thinks it's cool.

It's okay to be afraid of learning new things but this shouldn't stop you from actually learning it. Industry is fast changing and you need to evolve yourself with it.

@linuxxx

Hey, it seems that you use dotOs, don't you?

Well, is there a full list of supported devices? I am trying to install in S8 or Mi A1, but i dunno if it is actually supported or not, Thanks!

I recently heard someone pronounce SQL as "Sequel". Is that actually the correct pronunciation? Have I been saying it wrong all those years?

Microsoft is buying GitHub?

Actually, that sounds great. A lot of people here are making it sound like this is the end of the world as we know it, but how do we know that they will make it awful? The Microsoft of today is different than the Microsoft of 2007. The purchase is simply a way to expand their enterprise offerings. I have experimented with Office365, and it is actually really useful. GitHub will be a way to expand that offering to software development companies.

Who knows? We may even get some kind of Azure CI service built directly into GitHub repos?

However, I see why some people are concerned. If they want to move to GitLab, I don't actually blame them a bit. I was already using it before it was cool!

The point of this rant is that we should give Microsoft a chance, and not jump ship right away.

Why is it so easy to just keeping thinking to yourself, I really want to do this project. Then literally never want to actually touch it, so many great ideas filling up multiple text files strewn between devices. Stupid motivation.

So remember when we said 1.1 would be the last release, and then we said that 1.2 would be the absolute last we promise this time release?
Well buckle up buckaroos because 1.3 will be the last release.

So in my experience, coding while I'm not sober actually helps out sometimes. I always end up documenting my code way more so that I can keep track of what I am doing, and the code I write is actually decent.

Ofcourse, I always re-test it once sober again

Just a quick question, does anyone actually use Java servlets? My professor says that it is still in active use, but I can't believe that such an asinine system is still in use besides legacy systems.

Not quite a rant, but it does annoy me to no end.

TIL when shortcuts say "Mayús" (like, "Ctrl. + Mayús + I") in Spanish, it is not actually "Bloq. Mayús" (Caps Lock) but Shift.
I don't know which one is weirder, if the fact itself or the fact that I discovered it after more than 15 years using computers in Spanish. And shortcuts.

I know this is needed for extra quality but god do I hate having to validate everything I do by so many coworkers before actually being able to do something else. It would be fine if I could get another task while waiting for that validation but nooo, I have to wait until they’re done “validating” to actually move on.

It really feels like I’m losing so much time waiting for people...

Is there actually any frontend framework or boilerplate to just code and avoid messing around with old libraries, missing dependencies, no documentation? I'm seriously moving to plain ES6, it feels more flexible :/

I just switched to void from arch, dunno why. It is really cool and has runit. And XBPS is actually 3x faster than Pacman. And I have 1Gb of ram, Arch used 950Mb BSPWM, Void 300 with XFCE.

Really a good distro

With COVID going on, we're pretty much stuck at home, so

Vacation = staycation = early retirement

I took off 2wks ago, going back to work next week but it actually felt pretty nice.

Not having to really care about anything or rush to any schedule.

So yes maybe give it a try. Just do whatever it if you imagine yourself doing in retirement.

The difference is your body isn't old and disabled so you can actually do it.
