Friend: What is the easiest way to become a developer?

Me: Just buy an Android phone.

I just had a nightmare.

I never became a developer. Instead I had a normal 9-5, didn't do work at home, slept well and spent my free time on social activities.

It was horrible.

By day, I'm a developer.

At night, I'm a father of two awesome kids and a husband to a fantastic wife.

Stop fucking asking me to work after hours! Just because you sacrifice your life to the office doesn't mean we all do.

you know shit just got serious when a developer takes off his watch

Boss: we need to make a website.
Dev: we fired the web dev
Boss: you do it then
Dev: I am a mobile dev
Boss: dont care you are a developer

Tbh he isnt wrong but i just hate web development.

I just saw a website that hid the login and sign up buttons while ad block was enabled. No popups or anything asking me to disable the ad block.

Well played developer, well played.

Being a web developer somedays makes me feel like:

Wow! Look at that super awesome thing these guys coded, and I'm just sitting here aligning divs and changing font colors.

I just can't take a developer who has never heard of Git seriously

This pro developer in my work just made me look like a fucking useless potato today. Although he was really nice and made me understand what the problem was.

Damn man, he knows too much 😓

The hardest part about being a developer is constantly having to come up with nice ways to tell people they are idiots.

No I can't just "add some AI because it's cool right now". 😒

Apparently I, the Intern, am the only developer at this company with any experience with Version Control. My Boss just asked me for 'Documentation on how to create a Repository in GitHub'...

"There's a big button that says 'Create Repository'. CLICK IT."

Me to wordpress "developer"

- No, you are not a developer, you just drag and drop shit in visual composer

That felt good

I got hired to fix the script a developer before me wrote. That's just 1% of the shit!

Wohoo! Just signed for my first work as a developer! :)

So the job was for a web developer, specifically.
We needed a person who was very confident with PHP, JS, HTML, CSS.

This dude comes in, he says he's confident with all of them, we ask him how he would solve a problem we're having and he answers just like we answered the first time. Which is a good start.

By the end of the interview, he just says: "ok, but like I'm not here to work as a developer"
"WTF are you even here for, then?"
"To work on anything else than that"
"But we just need that"
"I won't do it"
"Ok, then, bye"

I've just googled

"How to kill a demonized puma"

And now I'm not sure anymore if I'm a developer or a wizard

Am I really a Software Developer or am I just really good looking up stuff on Google?

I have my doubts of being a good developer when my fingers type this thing

Just checking if a string contains itself

Today I became the lead developer of a system, which annually generates about 30 million in revenue.

I just finished uni. I have no idea what I'm doing.

I feel like this guy.

Builds various WordPress websites and calls themselves a Web Developer........ Just no.

Sometimes I feel I'm an app developer, a web developer, a sysadmin, an ethical hacker and a programmer who's comfortable in several languages. At other times, I feel like I just know how to use the internet.

Just had a React Developer tell me HTML5 data attributes "pollute" markup.

/me wonders if he's every seen the markup React generates

I asked: What are you looking for in a developer?

They: Just that he is a fun guy. We'll take your word on your technical capabilities.

Needless to say, I didn't get the job.

This programmer right here just turned 18. Maybe now I can get that Apple developer ID and get that app I've been working on for over a year onto the App Store.

And on a side note... let the Facebook comments pour in...

Ah, just followed a 35-line tutorial to create a window with a line in it using xlib.

Time to put "Professional Linux Graphical Developer" in the olde resume

Just got a job offer as a Java Software Developer :) happy and exciting times!

Boss: here is a mac project, we have not enough time.

Me: what? I didn't not work with Mac and related languages ever!

Boss: yeah, but you are senior developer, this is not supposed to be that difficult to you..

Me: *moment of silence* just tell me who taught you it and project management. because you are the stupidest shitty boss that a developer could have

Telling a developer to just start coding (because we need shit done) is like asking the surgeon not to wash he's hands before a operation cause it would save us time.

A bug in production, so I was debugging and the boss says to me "how do you stay so calm?" and I answer "just like a surgeon does't have to freak out with blood, a developer doesn't have to freak out with bugs"

I just landed my first job as a Software Developer!!!! So happy RN

User:
I wish I could build an app like XYZ that is so cool.🥺🥺

XYZ Developer:
I wish I could build an SDK like Agora.io that is so cool.😣😣

Developer at Agora.io:
I wish I could build CDN like Akamai. That is so cool.🤔🤔

Developer at Akamai:
I wish I could have layed Internet as a concept. That is so cool.😢

Conclusion: Don't disparage yourself as a Developer. Sometimes, we should Appreciate what we have build rather than what we wish to build.

Be proud of the Product "X" you are building.
Just look around, you will find a person wishing to build a product like "X".🤗

Job listing I just saw:
Our lead and only developer just retired after 15 years of maintaining the codebase. We need someone who is capable of working with large amounts of undocumented and untested code.

PS: This was a company that makes medical software.

Just looking at code, my colleague ("Senior Java Developer"), wrote...

if (process == "null") {...}

As you can guess, process is a String.

I just don't know what I can tell him. It's just so wrong, in every possible way...

I attempted an online test for a Java Developer role at a pretty big company.
The test had a JavaScript question.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Just to clarify, the job description had no mention of JS

Literally just saw a job post with this in it:

We are seeking a Python Developer with solid experience working with Object Oriented PHP 5

So my ex gf was a developer too and she used spaces instead of tabs and she would put the { on a new line. That was not the reason to break up with her but I just can't hold my rage ffs

I, (a British developer), just had to explain how American Zip Codes work to my US-based colleague...

Non-developers (especially factory workers) don't understand the stress a developer goes through. They say: "What stress could you possibly have? You just sit with your ass behind a computer".

Yeah.. don't get me started.

*Me explaining how to use npm to my colleague (senior dev)*

M: So from the command line you just need to move to the directory with the package.json first

C: Uhm right
C: *types ‘move dir’*

M: Aight just give me the keyboard

How does a senior developer not know how to use cd in a command line?

A senior developer come to interrupt me.

Senior developer: blah...blah....blah about this concept...... that concept... So, any new things you learn lately that you would like to share?

Me: I am learning back C++
Immediately he stop me and said, "Why did you learn C++? It is obsolete, no one use it anymore"

Me (in my head): But, you just said what I learn. It doesn't matter if its obsolete or not. Infact you are wrong, C++ is not obsolete anytime soon. I was about to share on webassembly.

Senior developer: So, would you like to join me in a short sharing session this afternoon.

Me: No thanks, I am really busy (just want to avoid at any cost)

The "new guy" just merged master into a release branch.

The build server started bumping versions on the release branch and build "corrupted" installers.

Another developer had to spend a whole day trying to remove all the invalid commits.

"Hey ,we just hired a developer to work on app A ,so you can stop working on it and focus on B"

**2 weeks later **
"It's been 2 weeks.Why haven't you finished A already?"

When a developer tells you it will take a week and you go ... hell no this will take me a couple hours...

So as proof you do it and realize you just did their work ...

*faceplam*

Just bought a new LG TV with WebOS on board. Am I watching cool FHD movies on it? Nope since I discovered I can create apps for it. Once developer, always developer.

My manager just left the company to become a independent game developer. His game is also available in steam as early access.

He just became extra cool to me.

And he is using unreal engine for it.

That made him extra cooler to me 😁

I am sick of seeing articles about imposter syndrome. The developer community as a whole should stop circlejerking each other. Let's face the reality that some developers are just shit and that's it.

**Overheard new intern struggling with git talking to lead developer

Intern: "I am having trouble with the git repo on my local machine, can you take a look?"

*** Looks at code for three seconds

Lead developer: "Yeah, I suggest you just delete and reclone the repo."

You Either Die As A Developer, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Tester

P.S. No offence to Testers. It just i hate testers

Not a rant but I just got offered my first developer job after uni not having a degree in CS!! Beyond excited! 😀😀

I just thought this would be a good place to find beta testers. Mainly because the developer is prone to get bored and if they encounter a bug they will be a lot more helpful than "its not working"

I just developed full iOS app without previous knowledge on iOS.

Am I a good developer, or a good Googler ?

So normally it takes at least 4 years to become a developer by pursuing a CS or similar degree.

However, today I found out you could just touch the screen 7 times on Android to do the same thing. Go figure...

Just a Developer thing!. You can apply for jobs through APIs.

God fucking dammit.

I got assigned to a WordPress project...

I AM NOT A WORDPRESS DEVELOPER!!!

Why do I have to deal with this giant pile of stinking shit?
I'm a php developer, I make applications, I don't write fucking wordpress plugins...
WHY DOES THIS EXIST, WHY DID WORDPRESS BECOME SUCCESSFUL WHY CAN'T I JUST DEV IN PIECE.

Dear wordpress developers,

Please suffocate on a big fat old cock.

Regards.

MFW I just wanted to get 300€ and not a job

Developer confession.

I always git push a new branch even though I know it will error as there's no upstream, just to copy the full git push with set upstream arguments from the error message.

I finally landed a job as a self taught developer. After countless rejections, ghostings, interviews and assessments, I finally did it. The HR literally called me back 5 minutes after the second interview with a job offer. It’s honestly is just so surreal.

when you're the only developer at a firm and the client wants something bc "it's super simple, that's how ebay does it, just copy them"

Any frontend developer who can code backend system too?

Ps: this is just a meme please don't get serious, mates.

Just got my first job as a software Developer (java). Soo freaking scared that I can't live up to the challenge. Has anyone ever felt this way on their first coding job?

So...

I'm looking for my first job as a web developer. I kept seeing these rants about how horrible and frustrating job searching is, all of which I thought were greatly exaggerated. They're all just jokes and memes, right?

Nope.

Every fucking meme seems to be true.

- Junior developer with +4 years of experience, expert in their field - check!

- Listing requirements for 6 different jobs under "Full-stack developer" - check!

- "Expert developer required ASAP" - $10/hour - check!

- 100% remote ... *scrolls all the way down* ... for 2 days of the week - check!

- Entry level font-end position - must be an expert in Vue, Angular, React, AWS, Drupal, Wordpress, PHP, Python, ES9+, OOP, TDD, BDD - check!

- "Cool" description written in js code with no indentation - check!

And I'm not seeing these every once in a while or something like that. No. Most of the posts are like this. I thought I may just be underqualified since I've never had a real job before, but this just seems crazy to me...

I hate coffee. But because I'm a developer, people just assume I love it and don't offer me an alternative.

Being a good developer is knowing how to balance writing perfect code with getting shit done. Working lean means half your stuff in going to die anyway, so fighting for the corpse just wastes everybody's time

just a developer thing .....good morning from India...

So I just got let go because there was not enough work to keep me full time. Yet my manager was farming out dev work to a 3rd party developer... Fml

You hired me to be a JavaScript developer. Just because you have stock inMicrosoft is not a good reason to try stuffing Typescript down my throat. Maybe you should have hired a Typescript developer!

If you don't know how to git clone, can you even call yourself a developer?

No. Just, no.

We have a developer position open in our APAC office.

Before I take phone interviews, we ask candidates to complete a preliminary code test.

I’ve just been sent an email with code attached in screenshots...

nope.

Just walked out of work and saw this. What CSS developer has a wage to afford that car.

Just received a job invitation for my first developer position. But I never wrote a line of code in my life. I guess my interviewer too.

Worst realisation of myself when I was a greenhorn dev? Nobody gives a f***ing damn of what you achieve as a software developer. For them you're just the uncool nerd - end of story. That's where I just stopped having any conversations about my job at all... unless it's with other devs.

Me: I want to be a developer so I can make useful software that will help people!

Also me: *spends days making a bot for discord that just posts memes*

I just had a developer tell me “I’m switching the language of the project from React to HTML”...................... ok.

Just wow. I had a fellow developer tell me to drop support for Google Chrome. I hate to break it to you but roughly 70% of our user base uses Google Chrome (Google Analytics proves this). Like seriously!

Managers when a developer misses something on a project: “we need to go red fucking alert and schedule several meetings on why this developer inadequacy can never happen again and make sure to record this and make sure the stupid ass devs read all the requirements and use this mistake to offload more of our work onto the dev team”

Managers when they or any other team member misses something on a project: “oh we just made a slight woopsie, just a tiny little miss on our part, a lil fucky wucky, no need to worry”

I just had a nightmare.

I never became a developer. Instead I had a normal 9-5, didn't do work at home, slept well and spent my free time on social activities.

It was horrible.

What's a web & developer? Just saw this on LinkedIn

Just because a developer is a programming wizard does not mean we are physical hardware installation wizards as well.

I hate when people ask me to setup their personal home systems; especially networked printers.

So my manager comes to me and says the developer A said he wrote a code that you can re use why is it taking so long to complete, just copy and paste. As if it's just copy and paste😡

As a developer, I'm sometimes accused of pulling strings out my arse.
As a dog owner, I've literally just had to pull a string out of my dog's arse.

I really wish she'd stop eating fabric.

Hey im a fullstack DEVELOPER, not a fullstack DESIGNER, so dont fucking ask a colorblind person to 'just throw a simple design together, it shouldnt take more than 10 minutes'

I just realize that companies dont value a good developer, they just want a developer that can do the job done for clients to get money, i understand that just recently and im sad that some people are just in it for the money not for the love of the craft and technology.

"Developer code must ensure that IAsyncDisposable implementations don't take a long time to complete."

Ah yes, the very technical "long time" unit of measurement. God why don't you just go fuck yourself microsoft

I have just gotten my first developer position as a RoR developer. Just wanted to put it out there 😁 #NewbieDeveloper

When you resign, then they realise a potential developer. Before that you were just an Hooman resource.

Just saw a job ad for a company they were asking for one developer they wanted software developer x 7 and senior developer x 2.

How cheap is that? If you want to hire people do so but don't bundle them up, the description for what is required is funny too, I love how companies don't even know any standard way of asking for a specific role just blurt you need this this and this senior is that plus knows how to lead, cool.

Is this really a real requirement: "Visual Studio experience"?

Or is this just some piss take?

That moment when your developer friends talk about some new programming language and all you can do is just nod your head because you don't have a clue.

PS. They will definitely read this rant and know the next time, I just nod my head :D

Really hate being a developer sometimes, as soon as people find out what sort of Dev you are; they begin associating you with known successes and their personality...

I'm a game developer that works in 2D so I get thrown in the basket as being obsessed with Japan, have outlandish hair and am just an all round wanker.

Stereotypes can really bring you down sometimes...

I was just an average student in school, but my senior from DSC, changed my life and the developer now I am is because of DSC. DSC is powered by Google Developer and now I'm a lead of my college.

SSH is the most basic thing a web developer should know.

Some people are just lazy to learn something and all they do is give hard time to other people.

"Any recommendation when travelling to Thailand?"
"'Well, 'Nan' is beautiful region..."
...
"Javascript Developer?"
"How did you know that?!"
"Just a guess..."

Joining devRant.
I had been trying to get into the professional Developer Community for a while, wanting to find actual programmers, not just "I know how to write bubble sort in 3 languages" coders.
I admit I joined the platform for stickers, but I have just absolutely loved it! I see actual problems faced by developers, I relate to them. I find that I have way too much to learn before calling myself a true developer!

3-4 months of devRant has helped me grow as a developer more than 2.5 years of college so far!

Can't thank @dfox and @trogus enough for the wonderful platform!

Life is hard.
Just met a developer..

Just browsing job postings for fun, see a junior developer posting I thought I would read.

Requirment:
Previous experience as a Web Developer (18 months +)

Who would this role suit:
Graduate Web Developer

Yeah fuck off...

Just started work at this new company as a backend developer and immediately got into a heated argument with one of the front end guys.

Poor guy has been a front end developer for 5 years and doesn't know how to submit a form input as an array.

FML

Friend : Your bed has your laptop, your clothes and all of this. How do you even sleep here.

Me : I'm a developer. I don't sleep by choice. I am just sitting on my chair, doing stuff and a point comes when the body just can't take it anymore. That's when I hit the sack. So you see...

Ok, Microsoft just released Visual Studio for Mac. Now there's literally not a single reason why i would want to use Windows over Mac as a developer.

I like this decision by Microsoft.

I just logged into my dad's computer and see a bunch of apps running in the background that seems very suspicious and like malware...

He's a developer and he makes like twice what I do...

When u spend too much time writing Java and suddenly go back to C# yet continue to write Java code 😪

Me: Im testing a new feature that is not on production yet for 30m and can not make it work. (I asked the developer for any idea why is not working)
Dev: i just tested, works fine.
Me: i just tested again with no luck. I’m i missing anything?
Dev: (Developer comes to my desk). Lets see what you doing wrong here. (After 5seconds). You're not on UAT. You have been redirected to the production and you've been testing there all this time.
Me: 😩

Don't you just hate it when you're getting fat because you're a developer who is lazy to go to the gym then start developing some messed up health problems and always feel shitty. Smh

Developer of said repo notices the influx of activity, but then just updates the readme by saying there are bugs, not fixing.

Bro I just gave you a PR. Take the fucking PR and that will fix the bugs.

It might be a stupid question, but:
Do the full-stack devs of you actually have that function in the job contract or does it just say "(junior/senior) software developer"?

Mine says just "Software Developer" and in my opinion it sounds just too generic and undervalued for what I'm actually doing...

That moment you read a stupid rant, check the profile and realize it's just an Microsoft developer.

Just closed a TOP PRIORITY ticket with "as designed"..

After a 1 minute talk with the developer who wrote this code, I found it is actually deliberate..
So I just closed the ticket..

but what really bothers me is:

That developer, is sitting right next to the QA.
HE IS SITTING RIGHT THERE..

We are a small startup company, everyone are sitting around the same table..

communicate much?

My father doesn't know what I do.
He thinks that I'm just playing when I create a website or something else.
And that I need of a degree to be a developer

I'll just say it: fuck CSS. I seriously loathe working with it. But, I guess I gotta still be good at it if I wanna be a competent web developer, right?

That fealing when someone that picked from the graves an old project that you've started when you were just a noob developer... and then you look at the code... and then the shame.

How...just how is that possible

I know I'm a new developer but...

I'll just leave this here. RIP Firebug.

Not only you made me the front end developer I'm today, you also made me a man.

I just got my first developer job woohoo :)

I told some friend of a friend that I'm gonna be a programmer, and he responded with: "Oh, you mean, like, computer stuff?"

😑

The worst thing I've seen a developer do would be becoming a university teacher while not being able to understand simple OOP or good programming practices.

I can't think of a most harmful one, just mediocrity cultivating unknowingly mediocre devs.

Client: I just want a very basic modification, something a skilled developer could do in a couple hours.

Me: sounds great, can I look at your requirements?

*sees user-defined fields, workflows, navigation, roles, styling, customization everywhere*

D:

Just signed my work papers, managed to get a front-end developer position after looking for a while! Moved to a much bigger city too

How do you guys have such time to answer questions in stack overflow? 🤔
Just realize as a developer I never contribute on stack overflow.

Me: Im testing a new feature that is not on production yet for 30m and can not make it work. (I asked the developer for any idea why is not working)
Dev: i just tested, works fine.
Me: i just tested again with no luck. I’m i missing anything?
Dev: (Developer comes to my desk). Lets see what you doing wrong here. (After 5seconds). You have been redirected to the production site and you've been testing there all this time.
Me: 😩

Just been hired as a mid level developer for an IoT company. With considerable benefits and pay increase!

YES!!

So yesterday ended with me becoming a first responder in front of my house. Talk about a crazy day.

Guy sped up down my very short dead-end road and flipped a school van down the embankment. Thankfully there were no kids in the van and the driver was okay.

I've never had to run into the scene of an accident before, and what the brain does in a time of crisis like that is absolutely amazing.

Feeling everything but the immediate need drain away. It was like time was slowed. I took in all the information of the scene and somehow worked fast while also double-checking every action I did.

I remember hesitating for a moment, worried about what I'd see. School students on the back. Would I see injured or dead children? Body parts? I remember saying "Fuck it" and running down the embankment and that was about it.

So serious props to any of you who read this that also volunteer as EMT or fire/rescue. I've long considered doing that myself and I may very well step up now that I've had first-hand experience.

And now for the requisite joke: Usually I only have to help out when Windows crashes. :)

How to spot a developer in a bunch of people?

Just shout Python sucks!!

All the articles about javascript fatigue lately. Omg just shut the fuck up already. Being a developer is hard, deal with it

My colleague just made a very subtle rant in real life:

"I wish we could become more software developer and be less software producer"

Client to Company :This is a complex 1 month approx task. We need this feature

Company forgets to tell employee developer about this.

Meanwhile Client to Company after one month.

Client to Company: We are just 1 week away from the deadline, what's the status of the work in progress.

Company to client : It's going well, we will get back to you on the day of demo.

Company to employee developer: We have this complex task, you need to complete it in 1 week.

Developer mental status gets fucked with over burdened hectic work which has to be completed in a week having no idea of fuck up by the company which already had the information of the task one month ago but just forgot to tell the developer.

I am a full stack developer at a food tech startup.
Family: Oh, he just looks at menus all day.

What really gets on my nerves?
People that think I can fix every computer problem there is, just because I'm a developer and therefore must know everything about PCs.

What do I look like, a Tech Wizard?

Just started my first "management" role after 12 years as a developer, first thing I learnt is its just like my last role only I don't have to do any of the hard work.
Worried they'll figure out I'm doing almost nothing soon, any tips? Should I just start scheduling meetings to discuss meetings?

What developer/team thought that this would be a fucking brilliant option to put in this in a game?

Btw there is no VSync option, just “Limit to 30 FPS”

I just remembered a weird fix in a bug, some old developer hide the error message using css, placing it in a div then just used display none. LOL

I just started my new job as web developer. I have to work on an already existant PHP project, made by a random guy before me.
His code is so horrible it gave me a headache. At 10am (job starts at 9am..)

What the hell is it with WordPress people. Just read a rant where this dude is calling himself a "developer" . What the hell you're not a developer stop calling yourself a developer. All you do is click and drag pictures into squares. And type plain English into text boxes. Using software thay an actual developer actually did develop. You don't see me on cook rant calling myself a cook you know why cuz I can't cook. Leave don't learn a respectable language and get back to me. And no HTML is not a language.

DEVFALL -
phenomenon of hair fall in the budding developer.

Cause :- Staying awake 48 hours in a day

Cure :- CURE? WHY'D YOU WANT A CURE, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BECOME THE ULTIMATE BEING.

But seriously, cure :- just fucking sleep 9 hours a day for 6 months

I'm a 35 year old developer and I can't figure out how the fuck mailchimp works. It might be that the whole thing is terrible, or I may just be a complete idiot. Oh, of course the api key is under profile>extras

It seems almost everyone here is a web or mobile developer of some sort. Am I the only non-student, desktop developer? I occasionally do some backend web stuff, but I just do a lot of desktop stuff (mostly C++)

been a developer for 8 years (after college) and its somehow just dawned on me that no, architecture is not you projects folder structure :/

!rant

Just got a response from a firm I interviewed with for a junior Rails developer position, they want me to work on a demo project as a next part of the interview process.

This might be my first dev position coming through!

me at home :
😎i am a cool Scala Developer
me at work :
boss : can u edit this Scala Application ?
me : what is the scala ?
boss : its a programming language
me : okay just give me 2 weeks for learning

While browsing LinkedIn, I came across someone who's title is content developer! First, I thought she is a cms developer, then realized she is just a content writer.

I hate how the IOS developer of our team gets all the recognition for an app we made just because the manager has a bloody iPhone, even though I did the entire backend and Android app.

If someone is paying you to write software you can be a software developer. If you are in school or learning on your own, then you are just a software developer in training. If you have been writing software for years and are starting to hate writing software, then you need therapy. BUT YOU WILL FOREVER BE A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER! ;-)

For my employers: Just go fuck yourself with your greed. I'm gonna start my own business and fail till it succeeds.

Signed,
A pissed overworked developer who doesn't give a flying fuck about your shitty product

I just got my first full time job as a junior front end developer just because they didn't have any other option (I was last on their list).

Should I be happy or sad about it?

Just applied to a blockchain developer position after being approached on LinkedIn. Would be my first real developer job! 🤞

I've just visited F8 event by local Facebook Developer Circle, and I got this from there, actually love this t-shirt and had a great time with other developers. Waiting for I/O and Next extended event by Google Developer groups

Just got into a company as a fresher. Have never liked doing frontend (no offence). They are making me do frontend. Now, I'll forever bear the tag of a frontend developer. Can't quit due to money issues. Don't know where life will take me.

Tl;Dr: I think react is ugly.

Just cloned a developer git for a certain API and I was going through the application code to get a feel around. I literally said out loud "eww" when I saw the code for the views. Nothing about the pros and cons of the framework, I just think it's hideous. Thoughts from react developers welcome

I feel like there should be "dev recruiter" position that people with developer skills could fill. Every time I go to an interview, I just know the person asking me dev related stuff has no fucking clue about anything I'm saying, it's printed all over their faces.

A good developer almost instantly knows if you know your craft or not.

Let's not keep wasting everyone's time

I just love the Windows Developer Support... but unfortunately I don't have the possibility to use it (error when try to submit an incident). :D

Maybe it's a feature, not a bug...

> TheSmartGuy: listen, IHateForALiving, I know you're a frontend developer, but here in the backend...

Just so we're clear: I'm NOT a frontend developer.

I'm a full stack developer.

I just so happen to always end up working on the frontend because you bunch of handless monkeys wouldn't be able to write a webpack config file if your life depended on it.
It's not you taking care of my inability to work on the backend, it's me being relegated to using only half of my skills because you ugly things refuse to evolve. I could take your job in a breath, I wouldn't trust you with writing a css selector.

On my way to my first interview for my internship as a software developer. I just hope I don't fuck it up D:

A friend of mine and I are about to open a company and we're hiring a developer to develop websites, no specific needs, it literally just have to work.

We found this guy, who develops goodlooking websites, but isn't really a developer, meaning that he just uses visual composers. (which doesn't differ too much from what we want).

Well this guy kinda loves us because we're actual developers who know how to code "properly".

It's the first time someone likes me just bc I'm a developer and I'm already superhappy!

Hope it will get good soon enough!

Modifying a depracated wordpress theme with visual composer does not make you a developer. Doing so does not give you the authority to scope development projects. it just sets everyone up for a really awkward, potentially insulting, conversation.

Sometimes being a developer in Venezuela it's like turning up the difficulty level to ULTRA HARD. Imagine being in lockdown and having 9-12 hours long power outages. Like, man just let me work on my project

Be a MEAN stack developer not just a mean developer.

Unfortunately, I have met few developers who just like to demean other people who know less or are less experienced.

No one in my family has ever been a developer. No one understood what a developer does so I just was labeled the one who knows about computers. Thankfully my immediate family was ok with me studying computers and I wasn't pushed to be a doctor or lawyer like most stereotypical ones do.

When a developer writes informational messages to console.error, just because they show up in red!

In a company where a developer isn't rushed and forced to hack around problems just to meet the deadline.

I can't be the only one who didn't know that Linux has a specific command to delete a directory

I've used Linux all my developer career and I never knew the command 'rmdir' existed. I always just used 'rm -rf'

If you ever want to make a LAMP stack developer cry, just tell him he's got to work with NGINX and PostgreSQL.

Have been working as a freelancer since i was 14 with a lot of projects parallel to school. Just graduated high school and got my first job as a software developer only by using reference to freelance projects.
I'm so excited!

Every time I see a set of stickers arrive in a far off country (just saw Kenya!? What!?) it makes me really happy. Spread the angry developer nerd rage. Let it flow through you.

Training a developer... After one year, he still doesn't understand "Update-Database"

Create a powershell command and just tell him to click on it after every git pull

Well, that's how much it costs to hire a senior developer. I think I'll just go back to being a junior dev :-D.

How difficult it is to get a female developer up to speed on taking interviews?

My Manager - Just grow a mustache!

Can we collectively as an industry just calm down a little and stop lying to ourselves in a misguided attempt to inflate our sense of purpose...

I just stumbled upon a job listing for a WordPress developer position that described it as "helping solve the big problems of the day". Seriously?! Let's stop and get real you're probably just building themes. Maybe a plugin or two. So just relax and accept you're just another web developer building yet another 💩site you're not solving "the big problems"...

... Then again it IS WordPress...

Just don't be a developer
No code means no procrastination

Can anyone tell me what all things a developer should follow in order to be upto date. It's just too long of a thing.
I have been a back end developer, became a big data developer, then moving to becoming a full stack developer. Now I don't know who I am anymore.

I hate every blog post about "How to be a good developer in ..." or "X steps that will do Y" STFU YOU CUNTS. Everytime the same points over and over again... JUST STFU

Hi developers.... so i just feel like posting this post

I'm a self-taught developer its been 6 years now and i managed to get myself a job this year at a tech startup and they actually developed this developer department just for me..... with the promise that if i manage to get this department up and running I'll get a higher position as the company grows

So it's been 4 months now and i think i'm doing exceptionally well as a developer since I'm the only developer in that organization..... and some how I feel like if i use my problem solving skills to work on other real world problems not just code and designing systems..... like bringing solutions to real none code related problems i could actually achieve more and make a big difference

but I'm actually learning a lot and hope i'll become more and do more within this organization and grab that top position role

i was looking for a Junior Android Developer job before this coronavirus pop out of nowhere. now i'm just stuck in the house and the chances of getting a Remote job as a Junior developer is very very thin 😐😐😐. And honestly i'm fed up of learning new skills

I just encountered a website whos ad block game is on-point. Your typical Ad overlay, that can be removed with developer options PLUS disabling scrolling.

Too bad, they disabled it only horizontally and forgot about diagonal scrolling

Sometimes I want to go against my ethics principle and just use my skills to create a PONZI website or a scam site. I am a full stack developer, I can create one within two months.
However the financial strain I am having, I just want to so good 🤦‍♂️

Just realized being a developer means fixing bugs that were caused by fixing other bugs that were caused by fixing the other bugs.

Developers in need 2016 appeal.

With just one recommendation of an IDE with syntax highlighting, you can change the life of a needy developer.

Together we can bring an end to semicolon hunting.

Let's stop the madness now.

When you write an email to a fellow developer stating that he should disable Instant Run to hopefully get rid of a bug he gets and the developer calls you on phone to ask how he can disable Instant Run and you just want to yell at him "SEARCH IN THE SETTINGS YOU DUMBFUCK!" but you keep it cool and just say "open the settings and search for instant run"
and then you see that he might have trouble finding the build variant settings as well so you tell him where it is and you realize that this fellow developer is not a unique snowflake but the fucking average "skill level" employee in this firm.... Did I tell you that I am looking for another job?

Anyone think a podcast with no specific topic hosted by programmer that are all experienced in different areas (EG. Game developer, front end developer etc) that just talk about random shit?

Just curious because I love the Triforce podcast and considering that is supposed to be a gaming podcast hosted by fairly different people.

Btw this is just a hypothetical, don't think I'd be able to pull it off!

When you realise a so-called app developer has used nvarchar columns to store every single date record, in every DB table of your platform.
Using d/m/Y format.
Without leading zeros.
And, in just a few tables, m/d/Y.
*sigh*

Why do developer never accept we need a rest to be able to debug sometimes. We waste 2hrs on the screen before realizing we are just staring on our computer

*laughs like a crazy mad man*

It's finnaly fucking happening!
No more need for developer mode and now I just need to wait for gamemaker studio 2 to be released on Linux (yeah it'll never happen I know)

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.

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.

A JavaScript developer want to understand my 1000+ lines pythonic python code without any prior knowledge about python and he just want to understand it so that he can translate it into js. What should i do?

Just got myself a Pixelbook and man is this thing a sweet little machine! Excellent battery life, a pretty decent backlit keyboard and I can work on my personal project using VSCode and the integrated debugger!

Google is doing a good job with making Chromebooks developer friendly.

Alright, fellow coders, I need your help this time <3

I was thinking about getting a full stack developer position after school, with mean/mern stack. (Yes, I love js, but you can hate me for that later)
So, I just got an offer for a front-end developer position that I didn't apply to but was recommended for by my full stack prof.
Everything is great about that company, but! I'm not sure I'm good for that!
My question is: does being a front-end developer mean being good at putting together nice looking website?
I'm good with angular, but suck at material or just CSS in general.
I can implement business logic, but anything more complex than grids causes my eye to twitch.
So, is front-end developer supposed to be good at design part of it or not?
Google says yes, but I got other opinions from my friends, but they are still students too!
All hope on you guys! Thank you

Your best friend your colleague a developer you trust the most, your best buddy in the office can be a savage asshole sometimes.

Just sayin.

What are your "got backstabbed stories"

Just saw this at T-Mobile...

As a php developer, I don't know whether to be proud or sad

I'm an android developer. It's Friday evening. Just received a call from my honcho. He asked me to "hack" one website and get all the data from it.

Now I'm downloading PyCharm...

It's not a regular "fucking hell". It's a shit. Period.

Client: "I've started as a software developer too" *chuckling* "so I understand EXACTLY what you say... But could you just explain me what do you mean with 'legacy code' ?"
Me: :|

Is is better to tell the interviewer that you are a solo developer in the current company? Or that you are a team of 2-3 people?

Just shower thoughts

I had a developer put the css font declaration on every css class, instead of the body... The site used just one font 🤔😂

Me and my colleagues, just 3 of us are building a web app. I'm doing the front end part now after struggling with the back end. Does this qualify me as a full stack developer.

how do you tell a junior dev on your team there code is shit and please don't push to the main codebase without approval first,
without crushing them and and sounding like an ass cause there a good person just a n00b developer
