Got call from extremely angry customer, our product is shit and doesn't work. At all. Important customer so I went to visit.

He had the perfect setup, our product to the left, our competitor's to the right.

He connected the Ethernet cable to their product, it worked. He plugged it out and connected to ours... Nothing. Shit.

I started to debug on the premises, took logs, everything. It seemed like our product didn't receive any data at all. What the fuck? Tried everything, debugged low level, still nothing. Sweating as hell.

After two hours I got a strange feeling. So I swapped place, our product to the right, competitor's to the left. Now OUR product worked, competitor's zilch.

THE FUCKING ETHERNET CABLE HAD A GLITCH. IF YOU BENT IT TO THE RIGHT IT WORKED, IF YOU BENT IT TO THE LEFT IT WAS BROKEN.

I had never seen a customer be this embarrassed in my life. He apologized to me, my boss, his boss, the Queen, everyone.

We got the contract.

Finally have the home office I've always wanted, with only a few more things left to do in order to consider it finished.

Power company loves me.

Wallet hates me.

Today was a good day. User asked for a tricky feature. Right after telling him it is done he left this :)

i was browsing tinder and there was a girl with a bio status that said

"if you are in IT, swipe left, get the fuck away from me"

Left this at the Apple Store. I bet next time I go it will still be stuck on it 🙄

I left my MacBook unlocked and got 'alias git=exit' in my shell config. It was evil!

More like the most obvious thing I accidentally left OUT of an application without thinking about it.

"application seems advanced/cool/working! Oh by the way how do I log out?"

😐😮😧😅😰😭

Don't tell them to run "rm -rf /" as root. That's too nice. There might be inodes left on the hard drive.

MAKE IT WORSE:

"cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda" as root.

LEAVE NOTHING.

I've always find it weird when people said "You never know how much you love something until it gone"

Until i broke my keyboard's Left CTRL.

I miss my old ZenBook with Linux 😔

I mean, the MacBook is great, but it feels like I left my old simple gf who loved me for a Hollywood sexy bitch who doesn't give a fuck

Left the devRant page on. Hopefully, a dev or CS student will see it and join.

This genius made his very own super-flexible-and-versatile-never-seen-before-mvc-framework, with no documentation about the code, instead of just donwloading and implementing a popular one.

He left the company.

I maintain it.

Fell my pain.

I accidently left log.debug("bollocks") ;
In an exception handler our customers log monitoring system picked it up and they questioned why and I quote here "why is there a spike in bollocks at 3am?"
That was an awkward conference call

Well, even MySQL server left. Hope it has found a better host

Left one of the demo macs at Best Buy with vim running on a terminal shell. Let's see how long it takes for them to exit vim.

I was once called in by HR because i ended an email with an exclamation mark. I kid you not. She said i was being stand-offish and it was rude.

It has been almost 4 years since i left that company but i am still quite traumatized.

So this happened... Microsoft creates Zo (left) and touts it as a great chatbot, only to have the following happen. Hoisted by their own petard. 😂

Everything in application is aligned to right

🤡 Can you alight text in that form to the left
Me: Why? All forms have text aligned to the right.
🤡: It looks better
*Add !important*

A couple weeks later, a new BUG is assigned to me by the 🤡
"This form has text aligned to the left, while all other forms have text aligned to to right"

I have a lot of space left on my hard drive. How do I convert it to RAM ?

12/10 UI design at McDonalds...
Left screen with the arrow says: "Look up your orders here"
on the right screen it displays the orders...

Enki game: Will it work in IE 8

Hmmm....
*immediately starts swiping everything to the left*

I hate it when intellisense magically decides to stop working in the IDE and you're left there like a fucking caveman banging rocks together...

Bought a 500gb apple hard drive for my dedicated server for like 20 euro.

Don't have any trays left and want to use it anyways.

I just shoved it in. It's actually working fine now 😅

WTF Apple! That new name is longer than Empire State building! on the right how it was, on the left how it will be if I migrate to Swift 4.2 ...

while working on a website, I left a line of php code that echo's 'it fucking works' when a call is successfully made to the server. Two weeks later it hits me while I'm in bed that I never removed that line.

"I'll not sign off this project unless you promise me that the app will NOT GET WET WHEN YOU UPLOAD IT TO THE CLOUD" (was a desk application... I left the company that same day and promised myself I'll never get back)

We had a Christmas Party in our office in December and the office looked fairly trashed in the morning.
I took a photo of a colleagues desk and photoshopped burn marks on it, sending it to our group WhatsApp saying the bosses are furious and whatever they did after I left has left the guys in so much trouble.

It was a horrendous photoshop too, because I had nothing but PowerPoint to use - but everyone still believed it.

Most of the guys had booked that day off to deal with hangovers so it wasn't till the Monday that they realised it wasn't real!

school takes the creativity out of programming.

you want to try something new?
sorry, can't have that. functionality = priority.

school takes the choice out of programming.

- you're gonna use x language
- with x api
- in x environment
- and make it in x way
- because if you don't, your gonna fail x assignments
- because programming is about getting the job done, with no creativity

yeah fuck you too

school takes the cleverness out of programming

you get a turn left function. it turns a 'turtle' left any amount of degrees that you pass it, you have to make a turn right function to turn right 90 degrees. well, if you thought turning left -90 degrees was a good idea to make a turn right function, then fuck you. you have to turn left three timeswith the default 90 degrees instead because it's more practical/logical.

fuck that.

anyone else hate the movements to get programming into schools?

Feature request for @dfox:
Swiping for rants:
Left = nay, right = yay
Or better:
Match making via rants for devSingles.

Just kidding! I love devRant the way it is. It's the best app. Probably the best of all. It's huge. You'll like it.

WOW, I can't believe I left for a while and I got that many ++'s!
It's insane!!!
Wait...
Why does it only have ones and zeros?
Fuck, it's in binary 😭😭😭😂

Installing "Hannah Montana Linux" on a co-worker's pc after they left it unlocked and went home for the weekend.

My friend left their macbook unlocked, so we parsed the entire story of Moby Dick into the text to speech and left it in the background on full volume. Never seen such a confused face in my life.

Recently saw a piece of code left by a former coworker where he converted an int to a long, by converting it to a string, then parsing the string.

My new setup! (ignore the window at the left, it appeared there accidentally)

@dfox would it be possible to have the menu open when swiping from the left edge? (E.g. Slack, Stack Exchange)

The menu button is quite high on larger phones, hard to reach with me thumb.

Bought a Ultra Wide monitor, left work earlier to test it 😁

Is it only me or are many cs students left-handed?

Left this for my boss... he won't see it...

Today I left my job in which I spent these last 5 years.

My boss wasn't very pleased with me leaving the company today. But well, it had to be done

Now it's time to focus in freelancing and my own startup. Surely my work will be paid more accurately than these 5 years, one of the reasons I left.

The spaghetti monster is online.

Literally changes on the last minute.

Pushed to master, let CI/CD deal with it and left for lunch.

Bugs? Haha, sure.
Serious one? You can bet.
Do you care? Nope.

Avicii died. 😞😢
At just 28.

He got me through some tough and grueling times. I still use his tunes while coding. I'm still shocked that he left so early. But he made it count. He might've lived short but he lived large.
I'll miss him. I'm sad that he left so early. But his work will live on. I hope to become as good at programming computers as he was at using them to make music. His music was perfection. RIP.

Before I left for vacation two weeks ago, I busted my butt to build out another portion of my frontend testing framework and get it in place (and spec’d) to unblock a coworker on a semi-high-priority ticket. I sent him detailed notes on which areas of the product it covers, how to use it, and copied one of his (blocked) tests over and updated it to use the new methods, pattern, namespacing, etc.

I came back today and discovered … he hasn’t even touched it. Everything is exactly as I left it.

Wheeeeeee.

Fix a million things, including a project that is suddenly urgent, feels tired but satisfied, ready to go home...then it turns out there's still 4 hours of the day left...

Usually when you ask "I have a problem with service X, who wrote it?".
The answer is "Y wrote it but he left the company XYZ years ago".
In company I currently work the the answer is "Oh yes X wrote it 20 years ago, go ask him"

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

What is your editor/coding environment fashion setup?

Here is mine and I am very proud of it:

Termite terminal + dvtm (like tmux) + Nano with semi-custom syntax files.

Left language is C, right top C2 (c2lang.org), right bottom my build-system

What is it with this team and the developers it attracts. 2 devs joined and left, both had several years of experience, both couldn’t google an issue to save their lives and needed to be helped 24/7.

Now we are mentoring a PHD student for a piece of his project. Dude was left stumped by an error message that said “Can’t find file at path ...” because the path didn’t exist. He spent a few hours trying to fix it before asking for help.

How, HOW are people getting through college / university without being able to read, or debug such a simple fucking error message

@dfox created devrant to rant and after creating it he felt so satisfied by the appreciation and community , that he left with nothing to rant about.

About time! Barely had any real estate left! :) Took about a month and a half. Obligatory pic!
Btw (related), thanks everyone who helped me get Debian working on here. I love it.

Fuck all managers who expects us to deliver a completely new feature before the holidays when in reality it would take thrice the time left until everyone is on vacation. Fuck them all with a cactus.

I wanted to play Pirates under DOS back then, but it didn't have the left-handed mouse button switch like Windows.

So I opened the mouse, scratched the PCB button lines away, soldered wires cross-over, and had a left-handed mouse also under DOS.

Friday Eve: Closing eclipse project happily at work. Everything works sorta fine.

Monday morning: Opening eclipse project again. Everything is like i left it. "Main class could not be found."

What the fuck eclipse?

Technology moves too fast for it to ever be academically taught. Either you learn it by yourself or you get left behind.

A certain, reasonably sized company had a large in house payment system to handle all their client purchases that was developed many, many years ago. All the devs that developed it had left, and as it "just worked" they hadn't seen fit to get anyone to update or maintain it since.

That was all fine until it suddenly (and completely) stopped working one sunny afternoon.

After paying a small fortune for one of the original devs to come back and look at it, turns out the payment API it was based on had been retired. Warnings of deprecation had been sent out 18 months prior, but they had just been ignored, as the secretary receiving them after the devs left had no idea what it meant.

Oh shit i watched youtube with mobile data and i used 459mb... 31mb left to use it for 12 days... Shit

Monday: coffee tastes like dead rat. And I wrote hacks around hacks in legacy code just to get it to last a little longer until the new system can be made.

The coffee left a better taste than my commit.

VSCode, the only thing I hate about this is, it becomes too lag after I left it too long. Probably because of the vin extension, I typed something and it only came out 1/2 seconds and I have to restart my laptop 😭

When left hand feels itchy because you may have copied something a bit ago and never pasted it, but now you don't know what or why

One guy left the company and left me nodeJS project to maintain. It has a file with just a few lines short of 1700 lines of code.

I've realized I'm so busy working with technology, I don't have time left to keep learning it and playing with it. What are some fun ways you all keep learning new things and staying engaged?

All I'm wondering is how did @dfox manage to keep this avatar feature a secret while it was in the works? If I was in the process of coding something so elegant, I'd be telling people left and right! Bravo!

Google: the newest android pie is based on user feedback.
The system clock: *is now on the left*
Me: WHO THE FUCK ASKED FOR THIS SHIT? WHY CAN'T I MOVE IT BACK TO THE RIGHT SIDE?

My setup.. Tbh I have nothing to say about it except that the colors of the left monitor are shitty af :D

Having an philosophy exam in less than six hours. It's 2 am. Laying in bed, thinking about that stupid DNS bug and how to fix it. I have 4 1/2 hours of sleep left - wish me luck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Too tired to rant.

The wasp, remember? yeah I finally got angry yesterday when it showed up again, so today I bought a spray can and sprayed it. mofo finally gave in and left from the window.
The bastard didn't die after half a can, no, IT FUCKING LEFT!

GWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

My job has very little programming left in it.

There is a red button in a briefcase that launches nukes if you got access code.
We then gave it to a emotionally unstable hothead.
Left a post-it with admin password inside briefcase.

When it takes 30 minutes to find a power button in lenovo idea pad.

Whose idea was it to put a power button in bottom left side????

Why is doing a minor change in UI always taking the most amount of time!!

CaN YoU MoVe ThIs 5 PiXeLs To ThE LeFT !@#$%^&!

NO I FUCKING CAN"T! BECAUSE OUR CLOSED SOURCED UI FRAMEWORK IS NOT ALLOWING IT!!!!!

@dfox just a UI fix, on your notif's can we have an option to slide the notif left or right to acknowledge and clear the notif without physically having to go to it to clear it?

Ever lose a laptop? I did. 13 days ago. at the airport in security. left it behind because I had two with me, which I don’t usually do. i just realized YESTERDAY that it was missing. someone come to my house and shoot me. because i’m too stoopid to live.

Fuck you Windows!
It fucking started to update while I had to left for hour! My Gimp project is gone, because it had to bloody update. Someone should sue those assholes. Why Linux can wait for you to update and do it without restarting whole computer?! Is it really that hard to do that? Ohh wait, it's Microsoft!

I FUCKING HATE when windows 10 reboot without my permission, i left stuff compiling in vmware and now i found out that it rebooted fuck you Microsoft

QA: When I start the onboarding process, kill the app and reopen it, I return to where I left off with no way to go back to the previous screen.

Me: Please click the back button in the top left corner

devrant needs DRAFT.

I left so many rants unposted because I felt stupid or cringy AF after writing it.

Remember this: <marquee>This text will scroll from right to left</marquee> and does any still actually use it? 🤣

It gets weird when your boss acts like a jealous girlfriend.

#4 days left.

4:04pm
I decided to forego working and made a drink.
I'm also making dinner, hence the time discrepancy.

It's an adios, motherfucker. But I don't have (and wouldn't use) 7up, and forewent sour mix in favor of lemon&lime juice and sparkling cider.

It's aoibhinn and craic
táim ag meisce 😊
Wheeeee

Don't you just love it when you have to debug someones years old project, who left ages ago and you see

That moment when the other programmer left you a great groundwork, and you just feel like a freerider and not satisfied with whatever you did on it... :(

2017 ends in just days. 2018 picks up where it left. What new skill would you like to add to your hat?

As the founder (both biz and tech) of a startup, here is my timer list everyday. It reminds how much time I left before the day ends and how much tasks waiting for me to finish.

Worst part about being a visual designer?
Looking at anything that's a pixel too much to left/right/top/bottom and not being able to UN-see it

Left Xcode to download during the whole night on our slow internet in the office. Turns out, it failed to download when I checked it this morning. Downloading it again...

Brought my Mac to holidays so I can code... while at it, I realized that I left the charger at home ..Now I'll have to go home with a depressed state of mind

Me: "why are you doing this with PowerPoint?"
colleague: "because i'm going to print it"
I left the room

It pains most when a colleague left the company for good since OJT. Worst is leaving the company without a pay, no refund for not remitted governmentt benefits. I thought this only applies to fucking government or politicians, but also to the company you worked and shared most of your goddamn life not wondering why most good employees left the company.

Take a shit on someone’s pizza and then closed the lid over and left it on their desk.

Me: The IP Address on your public mail server cluster has been blacklisted.

Supporter: What is the IP? You can get it from whatismyip.com

Me: *has left the chat*

Mfw you try out Atom and it crashes the moment you open anything even slightly big. Then you try to close it out and reopen it but it decides it should start off right where you left it-suspended in time... doing absolutely nothing.

On another note, it looks beautiful, has many extensions, and is highly customizable but it gets bogged down so quickly.

I was pair programming today with one of the seniors in VS. He thought it was weird that I had docked solution explorer to the left side instead of the default right. This makes me wonder, why is solution explorer docked to the right side by default when in almost every other editor (even VS Code), the "document overview" is always on the left?

I tried to switch to protonmail from gmail 2 years back. But left in a week when I lost 2 important drafts.

I informed them about the bug. And the steps to reproduce it. But they denied to fix it.

I recently got interest into web dev and... why isn't HTML + CSS considered art? I keep moving stuff one px to the left, one to the right then back left padding-top :40px, ehh to much, 20px ehh too little 30px ehh lemme just leave it at 40px. It's like when you erase a line on a drawing.

what's the most memorable way you've destroyed a piece of hardware?

I left my laptop on top of a heating unit today and then proceeded to crank it up to like 80°C. I'll try turning it on when it cools down, the plastic hasn't melted so I'm optimistic, but I'm pretty sure the battery's a pillow.

On our Android tablet app, we had to have the hamburger menu on the bottom right corner (normal top left). It sorta became the floating action button...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

If you live in a major city and you stand on the slow fast side of the escalator (could be left or right based on location)...

then you deserve to be punched in the back of the neck.

No exceptions.

When people ask me to left justify text... NO!!! It's left ALIGN, right ALIGN, or justify. Stop it.

I just noticed that the about page doesn't go all black. Is it a bug or is it intentionally left that way?

Yesterday a windows update somehow managed to corrupt my arch linux partition and I eventually had to spend the whole day recovering what was left because I needed it for today. Well... yesterday was also my girlfriends birthday..

Finally left windows completely for Linux. Currently running elementary OS and it is the best choice I ever made

Fuck. My boss left for a meeting with the client to show him the new frontend. 5 minutes after he left I saw that on the staging server half of the page entries were gone for the non-default localizations. FUCK.

It took me 20 minutes to restore the fuckery. I hope the client didn't see it...

A guy I used to work with shit himself. It soaked through his jeans and into his seat before doing something about it. He then carried the seat over another colleagues head and left the office. It was hilarious. Though I don't think it was a prank, I think he had an upset stomach

Customer: We wanna add this thing to that feature. It has to go live with the next deployment (1 1/2 weeks to go)
Me estimating developmenttime, and informing the Management
management: this will take approx. 12h to implement, but we need these informations: [long list of not answered questions]

1 week later (1/2 week left till deployment
customer: okay, lets do it
management: we dont have much time left, what about the questions i sent you?

1 Day no response, 1 1/2 days left until deployment

customer: here you have a few answers. couldnt get the others. ill Send them tomorrow

damn... wtf? guys! i need this shit to Stay in time! cant wait another day! hell no!

Okay, so there's this thing I've noticed. Whenever I find another job the old job suffers very hard very soon. So far there were these cases:
- goes bancrupt wthn a month after I left
- the department gets closed due to reorganisation next week after I left
- a sinkhole opens up right under the 14 stores building I left 2 months ago
- and today... 10 minutes before I go to a job interview on my lunch break prod db pulls a failed-hdd-and-all-data-is-now-lost stunt...

Every single workplace I've left suffered a lot. Is this some kind of a superpower? Can I fight evil with it? Should I put it on my cv? Should I let my manager know...? Or ask for a raise? :D

Fucking money problems..
Had 20k on the side before relocating..
Old country wanted 10k taxes, 10k left..

Flight, hotel etc 2k..

8k left..

Bought a cheap car, 5.5k left..

After the rental cars, 3k left..

Bank blocks card because of potential fraud, so I can’t pay the insurance and have to take another rental car..
2.5k left.
2.4k deposit so I can’t pay the insurance for 2k..

At least 0.4k left and first salary comes in, but since I’m new, I’m on emergency tax so I only got about 1.5k.. will get the taxes back later but for February I’m so fucking broke..

At least everything is paid now so I can start to safe from 0 again...

Fuuuccckkkk..

Totally worth it though..

I want a job where I'm left to just refactor a horrible legacy codebase and make it easy to change

A year a go, I don't know why, I left this community, but to day I came back and I'm loving it!

Work is requiring me to bust my ass, I am salaried, it is writing documentation, and my FUCKING LEFT EARBUD DIED!

Domain at it again. Left a foo bar guys. Quality development yet again

A colleague of mine left his laptop unlocked, and another one took a screenshot of the desktop, replaced it as the background, hid all the desktop icons and the start bar (windows machine)
It was quite funny to watch him struggle :)

I just got a message from my company's front desk lady that someone called and asked for me and left a number for me to return the call. I've had a feeling about it and as it turns out, yes, it really was a recruiter who had the confidence* to call my company to sell me another job.

So far? Probably Chelsea FC's raffle system which I inherited after a dev left and left it in a right fucking mess.

Only 17 days left in this heap of shit of company. Glad it comes to an end

@dfox Could we also get watches on the right hand ? I've been wearing mine on the right hand ever since I've started wearing a watch and I feel awkward wearing it on the left :)

when you're in an online job interview and after it your laptop only has 3% of juice left :)

Left a line only meant for use in development uncommented when pushing to production.

It effectively hard coded some of the data we ingest.

Nobody noticed for a week.

The pc in the bottom left is my gaming rig. The silly one at the right is from my preteen years i use it as server now. My laptop doesn't have dvi, so I can use the left monitor for gaming only😊

I've officially entered my 30s.
I ate food the wrong way and my entire left torso hurts.

Yeah .... this is how it starts isn't it

Windows being like... "60secs left! Nonono wait it's 50mins! Aaah i wanted to say 10. It's definitely 5 now, i am sure this time, 16 is correct!"

God damn it stop wasting computation power for this boolshit and copy faster instead!!!

Problem:
some folks left the angular codebase full of ridicolous console.logs, client was upset as he noticed it during UAT

Solution:
1. add extra script in main template page
window.console.log = function(){};
2. translate it into JSFuck
3. if they ask, pretend it's a super-secret encryption algorithm to improve security

Slogging through half baked code, I wondered to myself... Who the fuck is Robert and where is he?

Quickly searching through Google and finding a handful of results I see that he had left long ago. Probably leaving for good reason. I'll never be able to ask him though. Never will I know why he left. He probably has a very sensible reason, but goddamn do I wish he left something that I could use to discern what he has created.

There is no documentation, no reasonable information about why anything was built the way it was, only just mountains of rusty ass baren code to scale down.

Hey, fellow dRs.
I may need some help regarding this circuit.

It is about an 8 Bit multifunctional shift register with a 2 Bit instruction set.

These work:
If "Sel" is 0x00, the circuit loads data into its 8 D flip flops.
If "Sel" is 0x03, the circuit replaces all data with 0s.

These don't work (they do, but they do it in a very strange way and end up filling 1s instead):
If "Sel" is 0x01, it is supposed to ringshift bitwise to the right.
If "Sel" is 0x02, it is supposed to ringshift to the left.

As mentioned above. They do it in a very strange way. If we have 10000000, it will shift to the left or right depending on the "Sel"'s binary value. Let us say we want to shift it right. The output will turn from 10000000 to 01000000 (which is what we want), BUT after that it adds another 1 to it: 01100000. It keeps doing it until every single Bit is a 1. Same thing happens with the left ringshift.

I will include the other circuits used in this circuit in the comment section.

Went on holiday abroad for 3 weeks and left my laptop at home so as "not to distract me from enjoying myself".

I miss it every day 😔

My first job was 3 years ago.
I was tasked to create feature updates for a referral system.
There were two programmers in that project , both had left the company before I started.
There left no documentation whatsoever. They gave me a copy of user manual as my guide. HAHA!
Half of the code was in code igniter framework(wasn't even familiar with it then), the other half was hard coded.
It was a total nightmare. Wish I had the guts to call it quits then and there. XD

I dunno how you guys can drink all that coffee... And also have it actually work.

I bought a large from McD at lunch, drinking it throughout the afternoon but maybe a third left...

But I feel tired still and think I also have a slight headache/dizzy feeling...

@dfox suggestion, when I'm in the "Top Rants" section, can it be able to swipe left or right to change the tabs Day, Week, Month, All. It would be more efficient to see other rants 😉

A small thunderstorm came in yesterday brought chaos and terror for 1 hour and left like nothing happened

Guess what

It left the whole city without the internet

Over 300,000 people dont have internet of course including me and i am pissed the fuck off because i was in such a great mood to get shit done today

Just realized, I did not put my phone on the charger... But actually left it on the bathroom floor....

FUCK!!! IT'S NOW ALMOST DEAD!

Why was the computer cold?

Because it left its Windows open.

HRM student: Hey, can I borrow your flash drive?
IT student: Sorry mate, I don't have that now. I left it at home.
HRM student: Seriously? How could you left if at home? You shouldn't have taken IT course. Lol
IT student: Oh I see, so where is your
Cooking Utensils
Graters & Peelers
Kitchen Shears
Mandolines & Slicers
Salt & Pepper Mills
Food Mills
Colanders & Strainers
Measuring Cups & Spoons and more? I guess you better drop all your subjects now.

So my colleague sees an iPad on a desk that someone has left by accident. He puts in the wrong password a bunch of times to lock it for an hour as a joke and accidentally wipes it!! Turns out it was about to be used for end of sprint client demo 😂

Today I went to a computer store,
I ran dir /s C:\ ( "ls -r /" equivalent for Linux, sorry GNU/Linux)
left it there
Hoping someone will panic thinking that computer has been hacked

Funny how DPI impacts scanning speed... I have been scanning 150 DPI the whole time hoping it would save me some time, I'm better off with 225.
(Left: DPI, Right: seconds)

Why was the computer cold? It left its windows Open.

I left on vacation only to realize I pushed an old build to production. It now throws NPEs.

I don't have a computer, just my phone.

I'm regretting not going to bed earlier yesterday.

Damn i want to make an Alarm to alert me when Gradle is finished building.

When waiting gradle build i always get mad because sometime i always left it to do something else and then forgot about it and ended up coming back with more wasted time.

for the people saying they have devrant on the main screen or even to the once that have it in the quick actions (really nice idea) I raise you with this, I just have to push in the top left of my screen and it opens devrant.

So, I had a Windows update left (I'm not a fan of windows but updates are important!)
Aaaaand it failed. And this error tells me that I am trying to install Windows (which is not the case). Loving it 😋

Writing hebrew in Latex using a template that doesn't support UTF-8 is the most archaic shit I've done lately. I feel like some sort of a caveman.
This fucking encoding inverts all letters so it can support right to left. 😓

The new guy just locked our server account (I was using it, thats why he couldn't login) and the IT guy from the client has already left...

I guess its and early day...

It's holiday season and since I suck immensely at keeping a regular sleeping schedule, I just woke up at 6:35pm. 4 days left to fix it

left work last night at 4am, leaving the laptop at the office disgustes. now i feel insecure for leaving it there on a sunday

Alright i have a confession
I left devrant a week ago (2000++) and made a new account cause i love it here

Cool. I've installed a time paradox! All that's left is to figure out how to leverage it to my benefit...

Me: “Sorry, I left my $5 in my other pair of shorts. I’ll get it to you tomorrow.”

Endlessly.

Happend a few months ago...

We encountered a performance issue somewhere in our Code, written by a guy who already left.
It was kind of this:

foreach(var id in idList)
{
CallServiceWithDataBaseAccess(new List<string>()
{
id
}
}

Well. It was obvious as in this example...

I know why group work sucked in school. It was a missed opportunity to teach project management and accountability. We’re almost always left to sort it out ourselves.

F**k this. Exactly The same site is displaying differently. Only thing changed? On left access is by local IP, on right by URL using no-ip.

Apparently it grabs CSS from project on another port

I have no clue what GitLab is, what it does, and im feeling left out when most are ranting about GitLab deleting their database...
There! I said it!

Moving a partition on my ssd to the left. Therfore it copies 98GB. ~50GB of them are used.

Speed: 25 MB/s. Wtf?

Don't know if this is just me but I fucking hate it when YouTube move stuff around slightly.

For instance the search bar used to be on the left now it's centered.

I know I'll get used to it but it's kinda annoying.

Downloaded Firefox quantum after seeing so many posts about it. On startup, I was left wondering if I had opened Opera instead. It looks and feels almost the same.

My keybo§rd is broken. I tested it on two different m§chines, ch§nged keybo§rd l§yout, tried to cle§n it up, but no luck. Left side of 2wsx keys is completly useless. I'm so dis§ppointed@@@ ( @ used to be excl§m§tion m§rk :( )

It is Friday, time to finish all your work.. but the boss just left... lets drink instead!

Went in for an interview today and left my brain at home. Never been so tongue tied. And as it were I was the only remaining candidate. FML!

Why does the css border-spacing have to be different in how it takes 2 values.

If you look at margin and padding properties when passing in 2 values, you pass in:

margin: (top/bottom)px (left/right)px;

However, when using border spacing:

border-spacing: (left/right)px (top/bottom)px;

I know I’m simplifying here, but it’s goddamn irritating how it’s takes in vertical and horizontal spacing the other way around. Who the hell thought that was a good idea

What if terminals opened with previous tabs left on it, just like Chrome?
#JustSomethingToWonder

Once I wrote a shell script to solve a problem. Then I thought "now I have to rewrite it in a REAL language". So I did it in Go. But then I got bored and left it to rot in my gh. I picked it up again today and made another rewrite, but now in node. What the actual fuck

Today I almost burned my hand from touching my (metal) laptop

(Context: I left Rome: Total war running on it while it sat on a bed which meant the fans couldn't cool it and it was heating up because Rome: Total War

So I've recently hurt ring finger of my left hand and now I'm typing shit while coding. Like I've to retype nearly every word or literal that has S W or X in it. FML

Lol this is actually funny

It was a promotion that involved doing more work but didn't involve me getting a change in title or pay

Thing is tho... The promotion was caused due to developers leaving left right and center and I left shortly after as well...so I guess it makes sense that they maybe saw that I was planning to leave *shrugs*

Chaosesqueteam left.
Nanos left.
Ostream left.
Alexanderr left.

Damn, I wonder how long it would be before I disappear. And how I will be remembered by those who still remain.

I know this is incredibly fucking minor, but

MY LAST HALF-DAY OF CPD HAS BEEN DROPPED AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT

I have literally two weeks left and they will. not. stop. pulling this shit. AAAARRGHHHH

My client had a meeting and presentation of app for one possible client of that app. I, as a developer of that app, left a hardcoded id,I saw it but forgot about it immediately. Let's just say filtering did not work properly. Sorry.

My left cortex: You have a paper to write @poster983. Put devrant down.

My right cortex: NO! Enjoy yourself. You have a study hall tomorrow. Do it then.

My left cortex: Remember, you already said that about history. Best to do it now!

*mouth makes farting noise*

My Right cortex: COME ON! IT'S HUCKLEBERRY FINN. JUST USE SPARK NOTES! DO IT L A T E R!

My left cortex: fuck you right.

My right cortex: right back at you.

*Snapchat buzzes*
My full brain: OK HALT THE DEVRANTS! THE BOYFRIEND IS TEXTING!

(Notice the recursion here?). This is why I can't ever write papers.
Same thing applies to when I'm programing. I end up spending 2 hours on something that only should have taken me 1.

My left cortex: Stop Ranting!

Help me.
💩

Windows: "That sure is a nice long running process you've left me with. Sure would be a shame if it didn't finish. Time for automatic updates!"

So I'm returning from parental leave on next week...
One of the projects I'm involved in, was at 10% progress when I left, had planning and documentation made by me, development environment and test suite setup by me and had tests and was being reviewed.
Right now it should be arround 75% progress, no longer is being reviewed, planning is not being followed and no tests have been made since I've left...
Why bother with dumb ass devs!

I was deploying a fix for a bug (for a hotly-anticipated feature) with a really strict time limit (there was literally a countdown clock). Our senior dev couldn't do it, and threw it out for the masses. I fixed it with about 1m30s left on the clock.

That felt pretty great.

Fuck Android Studio updates. Why you morons call it a "STABLE" update when its clearly not? -_-
You guys ruined the layout editor -_- But you guys also left no way to use the older version nowadays.

Fuck you Google!!!
FUCK!!!

Just realized the button between my left and right click on my touchpad actually works exactly like you would press the scroll wheel on your mouse, in Linux!
Shame on you Windows, you didn't know what to do with it.

@dfox
Would it be possible to extend the shop with a perl rubber duck? I feel left alone as one of the few perl coders here... everyone seems to be using php and python etc.
I'd probably be willing to pay more

Sublime Text could've became the greatest and fastest code editor of all time if it was supported with good extensions. Now we're left with electron based code editors that are slow with big projects.

Left engineering (and my job) for theoretical CS
My best choice in my opinion, although not every body around me shares it.

I... I just got on the bus to work and left my beautiful contigo coffee thermos at the stop. I'm done guys. I'm not going to make it.. ..

Finally end of the week. All that is left is a little polishing over the weekend for Monday release. Like get the lastest code from all the developers, put it together and hope it somehow works and fix whatever doesn't :-/

Anyone else think it would be easier if the ++ was on the right. Makes me think there should be a left and right handed option for apps.

I've built up such a reflex to closing ads that when something actually important or useful pops up I immediately close it and am left wondering what I missed...

GUYS! Humble bundle has teamed up with O'Reilly for a selection of Machine Learning books, anybody interested should check it out, 6 days left :

Genuine question, what was the most comments you've left in a single code review?

Just reviewed pull request submitted by a developer working for a contractor company and needed to leave 70 comments. Seventy.

Opened LinkedIn and saw a post from that same developer saying he left the contracting company an hour ago. I still can't believe it.

2 Months ago, I started a new side project. A project to make something of all the 'left in between' side-projects. Well, I've successfully added it to the same 'left in between' list !!

Keyboard layouts/localization seem like something went horribly wrong and nobody decided to clean up the mess.

And now we have multiple layouts where the fucking alt key doesn't even work exactly the same between them, how is that even possible? And who thought it was a good idea to differentiate between left and right alt, shift and control keys, leading to subtle issues nobody asked for?

In Vim I made a keyboard shortcut with alt and on the British layout it only works with the left alt key, on the US layout on both. Wat.

14 days left for me to build sharepoint portal..and i just spent 1 month try to understand and configure it..im tired but dont wanna giveup now..any quick advice how to ease my pain?

Well, I left my job to continue my study.
I guess that explains it all.

Don't you hate it when you have too many GB or RAM occupied and then you decide to launch a VM without realizing that Virtualbox will not only take the remaining space left but will also cap your RAM and everything freezes!? Uugghhh!

The explosion on the server room left the IT technician with a chip on his shoulder

My favourite Visual Studio feature is that if you try to scroll while selecting with the left mouse button, it just kind of spazzes up and down annoyingly.

How difficult would it be to change the Android app to use a left to right swipe to go back to the rant index, rather than/in addition to the left arrow or X?

Viruses are little monsters that eat your computer away (or what's left from it) after it's dead. They start with the heart (BIOS) and then go to the CMOS chip.

$ yarn add leftpad @types/left-pad

It was faster than reinventing the wheel and I needed that functionality :>

How to emphasize that the user can swipe something?
Ich want the user of my App to swipe left or right on top of a number to increase it.

Maybe also some other suggestions for a fast number selection?

Finished writing an ETL job in dev and scheduled it right before I left.
About an hour later I get an email it failed, now I get to wait till Monday to figure out why.

Anyone else find slack a time waster unless you are actively working on a team? I feel it fails when used for a user group: l have left most slack teams because it is like repeatedly looking in the fridge and not finding anything interesting.

Finally friday! Only a few hours left in it school and I can start programming again and catch up with all the sleep i'm missing by not getting up till 5pm...
