I just spent 5 minutes trying to fix an error saying that I am missing a ";".

I saw a ; at the end of statement but I kept on getting the error.

After cleaning the monitor the ; disappeared and I was able to see the problem.

Clean your monitor once in a while.

I came early today to the office

Found the office locked

Need fingerprint of Project Manager/CTO

With my mouth saying ah.. i blew hot air into the finger print sensor, 5 to 6 times

There u go.office door opened with welcome message

just hacked the system

Genius me

idk why people keep saying Chrome hogs up all the memory
i have 16gb of RAM and it just takes 14gb

Told my colleagues about devRant and they laughed it off saying that it's just 'another app'.
Fuck them.

My friend called me up once saying the new mouse he bought to use with his laptop wasn't working.
I told him to just plug it into the usb port and it should just work immediately.
After an hour of trying shitload of things I finally gave up and said I'll come over and have a look.

And there was his mouse.

Connected to a phone charger.

To a wall outlet.

IT: Hi, how can I help?
User: Hi, I can't get onto the wifi / internet, my computer says "No Signal".

IT: Hm, we don't have wifi, your on a cable, what exactly is saying no signal?
User: Its just on the screen here.

IT: No but where, are you inside a browser, or is it a popup down the bottom corner?
User: No I haven't got that far yet, it just says no signal on a black screen, then it flashes and says no signal in another position.

IT: ...... did you turn on your computer after turning on the monitor ... thats the screen saying no signal from the computer.
User: ah yep, thats it, thanks!

Just saying.

Ok I’m not saying anything.

This is just that geeky.

When someone hears that I like Java, they say the following:

"But it is sooooooo slow! Use something like X or Y."
"But it is sooooooo repetitive! You could write the same application with less code in X and Y."
"It takes up so many resources on the computer. C++ is better."
"Saying that Java is good just because it runs on everything, is saying that anal sex is good just because it works on everyone!"

Please stop with the Java hate. Java is great for some applications, while other programming languages are great for other types of applications. You don't hear me saying "C++ is soooooo bad because I have to recompile for every system!"

You know what I hate? When people don't listen to me.
You know what I love? When shit blows up in their faces because they didn't listen to me

I broke my 7-segment and now it's just saying "GG"

I just got a text message saying I got an email. This can't be good...

My co-worker quit by saying he was going back to school.
The dude just went to sit at home.
He figured that its much better than constant "abuse" at the office. 😂

I can throw an exception further than anyone else...

Just saw a microsoft ad saying:

“Six reasons for switching to SQL Server on Linux“

Well done microsoft...

saying "WWW" takes longer to say than just saying "World Wide Web"

Just cloned a 90 GB Virtual Box, 15 minutes later when the clone was 90% done, I got an error message saying that I don't have enough disk space (I had only 80 GB). WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT 15 MINUTES TO GET THAT INFORMATION????

Finally got a 200 response back from the server! Woo!

I've spent two days trying to get this to work (see my earlier rant). but yay! finally working!

So I log the response body just to revel in its lovely glow.... only to notice an error message saying "INVALID_INPUT".

WHAT THE CRAP.
200 FOR AN ERROR RESPONSE?

A piece of software i use received a major redesign today and this is the outcome...

Can someone just hack youtube comment database and delete all the comments saying "Who is watching this in 2018?" and any other comment along these lines. I mean on fucking all the vidoes I see these comments. FML

Oh boy...

So my mom just responded to an email saying her email account would be deleted if she didn't respond to it by typing in her email address...

And the password to that email address, her SSN, and her bank account number. Now I have to fix it. For crying out loud...

Time for a rant!.

Got a client I've just built a website for and they went live 2 weeks ago.

This morning he sends me an email saying that the website is not good enough because it's not making any sales or getting any traffic.

I send an email back asking if he has a marketing / SEO company... The response was I thought you do that as you said the site would be SEO friendly!!!.

I'm a developer! Not a marketer, fuck off.

Often saying fuck it when I've got a project and I kind of really need to use git but I'm not good with it so I just go back to good old scp again 😅

I hate it when people say they want to "GET a new girlfriend"...
Shouldn't it be "FIND a new girlfriend"?
I mean you can't just go into the supermarket and get some butter, milk and a new girlfriend. You can't buy them. By saying that, you seem to me as if you're treating women as objects. I know it's technically possible to buy a girlfriend, but that's prostitution.
I think that "GET a new girlfriend" just doesn't sound right...

Your opinions?

I just wanted to share a quote that I think is completely magnificent.

"Saying that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."

- Edward Snowden

Jokingly chatting about mass surveillance, got put back to my place with harsh reality:
Me: the NSA is your friendly backup service 😎
Him: that's NAS, darling 😇
He managed to look so innocent while saying this that I couldn't find a smart comeback and just laughed...

Just sent a text to my girlfriend saying “&” instead of “&”. Time to go to sleep.

In my programming lab, lecturer just scolded me for using stack overflow calling it useless and saying it has all the wrong information. Class I was so excited about just turned out to be the annoying one.

Just heard someone saying:
"I got a graphics card with 1080 mega pixels!"

The fact you’re older doesn’t give you the right to call other people’s 8-months’ engineering effort “shit work”, especially if you didn’t even see the code...

They just called me, saying they found my CV online 🤔 My CV is not online 😂 Still this is quite a good working environment 🙃

Just had an email from the MD saying anyone caught streaming music will be given a disciplinary.... think it's time for a new job

I'm such an idiot!

For a while now, my machine has been kinda sluggish.

Just installed VSCode and a little popup saying that git was tracking too many changes in my home directory. I must've ran `git init` at some point and it's spent fucking forever tracking changes of >3,000 files.

`rm -rf .git/`

Quick. As. Fuck.

What's so wrong with just saying "my phone" instead of saying "my IPhone"?

I just got a response from a recruiter saying that I didn't pass the screening because "they need people with degrees". Why the fuck didn't you mention that in your job requirements before wasting my time? Fuck recruiters and their degrees!!

Just found this comment on the play store

Just got a mail from a company saying they got my CV from two different sources.

My mobile service provider just null me a null saying nullnull
Null can't even null their null null

Got a report from a customer saying that our scraper does not correctly scrap content of one of their news articles. After two seconds of investigation it turned out that the "article" is just one huge JPG file with text, photos and even something looking like links.

Had some bad experience with new phone delivery times so I decided to sent an email the SECOND the official 'this item will be sent within 48 hours' was passed.

Got an email today saying that my item has been shipped.

Got an email literally about 30 minutes later saying that the item has been delivered.

Now that's some God damn fast delivery 🤔.

Or is it just the slow syncing maaaaby...

Git > svn
...Just saying.

Team Lead just filed a bug saying there was no errors on the server over the weekend. O.o

I just realised “CSS stylesheets” is basically the same as “LCD display” or “PIN number”.

Although I've heard “LC display” a few times I've never come across something similar for different acronyms. Maybe I'll start saying “CS sheets” or “C stylesheets” 😈

Favorite co-worker conversations:

Guy 1: PHP can be plenty fast! Just put in APC, Memcached, and Varnish and you can handle just about any load.

Guy 2: So you're saying PHP is fast when it doesn't run.

Why is everybody saying GNU/Linux and not just Linux, it is annoying af, like what if........

Just had my first day at my new job at a games studio.

It was fucking amazing! They were all so nice and understanding and they were techy as well! Finally I can talk to someone about work and they'll understand what I'm saying!

My friend brought me this, saying "I just found this in my junks, thought it might be useful for you. Weren't you a programmer?"

At first I thought I should explain about how fast everything changes over here and how it is out of style to talk about 2000s technologies, let alone a book from 1973!
I just said "Thanks! In fact it is a precious antique. I'll add it to my collection."
It really is.

My girlfriend...

We can't go longer than a few seconds without her saying something trivial and demanding validation from me 😂😂 Oh and trying to work while your lady is half naked sprawled out on the bed isn't very easy either...

Oh well, some things you just have to deal with in life.

Vim users: You're the vegans of the programming world. No one cares that you use Vim.

Emacs users: You're to Vim users what vegetarians are to vegans.

Now, I'm not saying Vim is bad, or even that all Vim users are like that. I just roll my eyes every time I see someone bragging about how they use Vim.

If you wanna use Vim, use Vim. Just don't act like it makes you a superior coder.

When project manager is talking about things that I have no idea but I just keep saying "Yes, I can do it"

Just saying 🙄

Fun fact: on average it's just as fast to type in your search query into Google as it is to get the bloody fucking assistant to understand what you're saying, especially when it includes words that aren't used very often. Makes one wonder why we've developed these things in the first place... 🙄

Our professor once asked us to 'mess up' the functionality of a PHP script with one shell command for fun. People tried different things like occupying the port, messing with access rights etc.

My friend just wrote a 'sed' command to replace all the underscores with an empty space...😂

It goes without saying that he stole the show.

If you're an aspiring web dev, get comfortable using the command line.

Amazing how many new starters can't restart a service or tail an error log.

I'm not saying it to be a dick, it's just 101 stuff that'll save you loads of time.

My call team lost power. If our major clients try to call and can't, we're fucked. My boss isn't helping and I can't do shit about it without him, he just keeps saying they need to get power. The people they need for that aren't answering. How fucking difficult is it to stop jerking off long enough to help them out so we don't get fucked out of egregious amounts of money.

So my classmate just decided to write "printf("Suck my balls I dont remember how to do this);" in a programming exam and forgot to delete it before handing it in.

Well... after saying "sorry" like a hundred times the teacher accepted his apology.

>School project
>We work on Github because it's easier
>One of us used git clone everytime I pushed a change

I mean it would be easier to just pull? I guess?

Tried to tell him but he just didn't care about what I was saying.

Generally I don't discuss work with family as they just smile and nod.

I start by saying I'm a front end web developer, then simplify to I code websites, then I have to simplify again to say I make the bit you look at.

So now I just say I'm in IT.

A random thought -
Up until about 2 years ago, I used to post a status on Facebook every once in a while, saying how much I love my job.

I just realized that I don't do that anymore.

Customer: Pls install Plesk
me thinking about how I will regret saying yes to this, proceeding with saying - "yes"

Just got brain-aids

It annoys me when a client wants to blatantly rip off a website. Just got a mail saying: "On their page the boxes are bigger, why is ours different?"

Please kill me now.

What if the long term goal of @trogus and @dfox is to create a developer army, hell bent on the destruction of project managers and clients everywhere (except the cool ones).

I mean I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Just wanted to... You know.... Raise some attention.

Received a call from client complaining about stupidity of google analytics. He could not get pass Terms and Conditions page. Saying "I agree" button is faded away and can not be clicked.

He just needed to scroll the page down.

What happened to people nowdays?

When you tell people you're a computer science major and they tell you you should get an education degree as well, because "our nation's children need to learn how to code." Which is fine, but no one tells my male peers they should become teachers instead of working in industry. Just saying. Doesn't make me mad, I just think it's funny

Just spent 10 minutes teaching a client how to scroll on his computer after sending him the mock-up for his website.

The best part? I got him to learn by saying "pet the mouse"

i just started learning about networking by sending a packet saying "emoji movie leaked footage" from my laptop to my desktop

for some reason, the fact that i can have two computers interact fills me with some kind of inexplicable joy

Been working on a new project for a client for about a week and just got a call from him saying he can't afford the agreed upon rate because he has to put his 68 Camaro in the shop to prepare for a car show and would like me to reduce my rate by half.

I can type faster than I can write.

Just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We have reached the -1°Celsius mark over here in Germany. Too cold to go outside. What about your countries?

These reviews are just taking objectively bad things (energy and microtransactions) and saying they're good?? I'm so confused, has the world gone mad?

I hate fanboys. If ANYBODY is saying something against "their" company, they get upset and argue about it like little children. If your technology is shit, if your browser sucks, if your phone explodes, if your OS is slow, just admit it. I can't stand these fuckers thinking they have to defend themselves just cause a company released a shit product...

Just started a week vacation.

Left a sign on my desk saying "Gone phishing".

I've been looking at the shittiest code today. Hundreds of lines saying

this.thing.otherThing.EvenAnotherThing[this.someFuckingIndexThatShouldntBeAField].theOnlyBitThatsDifferentPerLine.AlsoNoneOfTheNamesWereThisMeaningful

Over and over. They're all wider than the editor window. Clearly copy pasted. Just make a fucking variable Jesus Christ how do you expect anyone to read that

So lately I've been seeing a lot of hate towards languages like C, C++ and java.

Someone at work literally said go would replace C++ and that anyone still using it is a dinosaur.

He said no one uses this languages anymore.

Am I just being left behind or are most real time devs not using C et al anymore.

I mean c++ has a 2017 update and we work with devices for aviation and the like that need to be certified I don't see go becoming our main language anytime soon.

I'm not saying go isn't a good language I'm just saying the others aren't at the point where we take them out back and shoot them.

Edit: disregard this rant, as it seems I have no idea what I'm talking about

"Filesystems encrypted with 128 bit keys are practically unbreakable with today's technology" - my OS professor.

No, I didn't mishear him saying 1024. He said 128 bits.

And yes, it's the same guy from my previous rant (the one with "Linux is just for hackers")

I wrote a tool that aligns an array of cameras. It was used several times, and it failed occasionally, so the operators claimed my code was buggy. Yesterday one of them came to me, saying that my code was alright - they just flipped the axes of the alignment equipment during those failed attempts.
Me:

I saw an article saying, What Programming Language Should I Learn First? 2017

It suggested, JavaScript!

😏 hmmm....

What do you think, yes or no?

(And no this is not personal question, just an article I was reading 😃)

I fucking love C++.

Bjarne Stroustrup should get a Nobel Prize.

Just had Windows pop up with a notification saying “We’ve turned on storage sense for you”. Love it how the default is “When Windows Decides”. Was that why countless users lost their data back in October 2018???

I think I’ll turn that off permanently 😂😂😂

It took 2 fucking days for the network team to assign permission to my username to access 2 x dedicated servers on the network.

Like dude WTF, it's a 5 (max) minute job. I'm not judging just saying.

(maybe) unpopular opinion

I hate the I'm at 127.0.0.1|localhost meme
It's a loopback address

It's like saying I live at home

Like why do people think it's funny or smart to post stuff like that

Even the doormat that was going around isn't necessary accurate, since it's per machine (in this case a human).
Like if you have the home saying it's localhost then you are obviously not.

Maybe I'm just being mean here but it's like really annoying after a while

When some of my friends says programming is easy when i show him app then code i just wanna to throw something to him and walk away with saying "Fuck why i cannot have programming friends ????"

I just came back from a meeting to a project that integrates some companies to achieve the project goals.

There was this "computer/data scientist" (his words) that every time he talked I just wanted to punch him in the throat.

Look, I'm not saying he isn't good or anything. He can be a fucking genius, I don't care.

But he talks as if he is the smartest person on the room, fucking annoying.

My notif bar when I turn on data after 2 hours.

The more he use '$' the more he earns.

Just saying

I am one of those individuals who can't understand a word someone is saying to me if there is any loud background noise - e.g. other people talking near me. That frustrated me so much in the past, nowadays I just say loudly and politely I can't understand a damn word because someone near me is talking a bit too loudly.

So does Microsoft really love Linux, or do they just saying that because they need Linux?

Just saying... 😅

Everyone is saying just how terribly awful certain co-workers have been, and I just feel really, really glad for mine right now.

Here's to productive, sane co-workers!

I work at the technology center of my school meaning I get calls if anyone has any tech issues. our school just changed all its computer to all-in-one computers. the day after I get a call from an instructor saying all the computers are missing.

Welp. That was fun.

Just had an interview I wasn't even expecting. Basically the company emailed me saying that the role has been filled and as such the interview has been canceled.

And I'm like ok. Thanks for letting me know.

Then at literally the same time someone sent me a skype request asking me if I'm ready.

I get another email saying they're sorry about the inconvenience and hope my front end interview goes well... like. Wtf.

Why didn't they specify which? And why wait so long ffs.

I had two interviews with them. They stood me up on the last one and i emailed and never heard back.

So now I just had the most awkward interview in my life.

I was so rattled I forgot the answer to a simple af question. What's a JavaScript closure.

I wanna cry but it was so bad I wanna laugh

When you post a "!rant", you should choose a different rant type than "rant"... just saying.

It doesn't seem too complicated to me...

I just spent 20minutes "debugging" my game because i was trying to connect to '117.299.38.69'(in-game IP)
When i was supposed to be connecting to '177.299.38.69' and I couldn't figure out why the IF statement was saying it wasn't in the global list of IPs.. I even checked the two IPs side by side and STILL didn't notice they were different..

"Microsoft" just called saying they detected a virus in my computer and blablablah. Next time I will have a VM ready and try to make as much of a mess as I can.
Let's try offensive security on the scammers.

You know what is sad?

Using internet explorer for years and leaving it for chrome.

Just got rejected for an internship position. They saying you are slightly lesser for what our intern possess. Upon insisting they told that both my "skill set" and "logic" is not up to the mark. I am depressed

I usually convince myself like "no corporate/government has enough computational resources to classify useful information from enormous pile of worthless junk they could blindly collect from tracking every single step of all their users."

But every time I see this, it's like I hear them saying "Why we should bother? You just handpick the important ones. Thank you."

I'm just saying... The guy who decides to come up with the ".js" TDL, is gonna get rich preettyy faast...

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.

Work setup is better than my home setup...just saying

@dfox Bug or something? Had this just before the update. Also I got a toast message saying 'invalid user credentials' when I tried to post this before the update.

7 page resume
13 jobs, some only lasting 3 months
TONS of grammatical and spelling errors.
Descriptions of each job has several lines just saying he "created functions; interfaces; abstract classes; classes".... For a jr/senior level developer job? Why are we interviewing him?

Had a job interview yesterday and I was so nervous, couldn’t think straight at all so I figured there’s no chance of me getting the job.

And just now i got an email saying they want another interview..... what? how? huh..?

that moment when you were still new to git commands and just typed in random commands while thinking of a stupid dog meme saying I have no idea what im doing then accidentally pushing something in prod and had no idea what to do cause the lead dev was not around... aahhh those were the days

I received a call from my boss saying I was laid off while I was out.

Wait a minute... I actually just woke up... This was all a dream...

Wonder if it is a message from my subconscious though...

Anyone else dream they get fired?

Said jokingly to my dev lead yesterday: "or you could just use that VPN we have lying around lol"

The look on his face while saying: "v..pn?"

Like it was same mambo jambo from outer space written in Russian... Lol, this dude is so out of touch with tech :/

So true and why I've gone on and on over years saying technical interviews are just crap... Good solutions cannot be thought of in 30mins unless you recite what you remembered beforehand.

Are you looking for creators and thinkers or robots

I've just added the possibility to connect to an external game server to my app and immediately regret it. People started sending me emails saying that it doesn't work. What they entered in the URL bar? "hi", "cunt" and a porn website...

Has anyone ever quit a job because of a horrible boss? I just quit my internship for that very reason. Ppl, of course, are saying that I shouldn't have. 😒

in the meanwhile html and css are not programming languages...... just saying

i make hot coffee, saying to myself "lets just finish the function", i drink ice coffee.

Sometimes I hate it to be a "computer-guy". There is this one beautiful girl, I see her everyday in the train, but I just can't talk to her. I hate myself for not just saying " Hi" or whatever. I'd love to "just say something", but it doesn't work! Why the fuck am I thinking this much?!

Any tips? From dev to dev? Please?!

Amazon's AWS support sent me an email about a request to support that I sent to billing, saying they sent it to billing. They then said they couldn't help.

I just need them to stop billing me for things I no longer use!

One thing I wanted to say here before:

The more the community of DevRant grows, the more "repeated" posts it will have. It's totally usual on social networks when they start to grow.

So, instead of saying bad things to people who post the same stuff, just ignore it and keep the community growing. :)

I love it when my boss says "review the code with this guy since he knows alot" and that guy wastes your time by just skimming my code and saying "where is the final product?". I don't get people sometimes. At least I impressed myself making a small chatbot.

How many times a day do you guys get interrupted ? Sometimes I just want to place a huge sign over my head saying "NO! Fuck off"

The. Fuck. I absolutely hate it when my supervisor asks me for a time estimate on a project when I have never used the language/framework for that project before. It's like saying, "Here's a winding path you've never run before that you need to run through. How long will it take you to get to the end?" Gosh, it's like the don't ever think about what they just said.

Saying I am an Android developer is another way of letting people ask 'can you build something like WhatsApp?'
Well there is world beyond that! Grow up people. Just tired of listening this. Fuck off.

Yeah let's just build this fully featured app on Wordpress. I don't see why you're saying we shouldn't.

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.

Just saying hello. I'm a Google Store chronic downloader and found this. I'm so happy to see so much conversation around coding. I've been learning by myself for 2 months and since then I've been desperate to have someone to talk about programming and stuff. I hope I can learn more and have fun here :)

Turns out an entire evening spent explaining privacy, traceability and forensic is not enough to prevent receiving a mail saying "If somebody asks I will deny sending this to you".
Disclaimer: it was nothing secret, just office gossiping. But still, I see that the point of the conversation didn't make it through.

Security Issues with Chrome:
My dad was just saying that his work wouldn't let him use Google Chrome because of its supposed 'security issuse'. Just wondered if anyone knew of any real 'security issuse' with chrome that are legitimate? Or is it all just rumours...

Anyway, so I've been learning the basics of Python and Kotlin since a week, I just wanted to ask if I could get IDEs and resources for both of them.

Also I know more IRL languages than programming languages, just saying.

*sits at work*

Other dev has a problem, Visual Studio keeps crashing etc.

*Senior dev comes over*
asks what she's struggling with.

she explains it to him, saying it's possibly a port problem.

senior dev goes "ah, yeah that's just gonna take a second"

*senior dev sits down and rolls a new port with two actual dice*

I just have been with my kid to a doctor. Got some meds and was ordered to pray to the god, was almost dragged into discussion after saying that this comment was improperiate.
Somebody just criticized me about bringing politics into discussion.

I'm from POLand.

Just had a huge discussion with my boss that ended up he saying that he only is there for money and if I have a different perspective about work that I should leave. In the company people are here to help the company go forward and not about money. I guess I'm the wrong one and I should leave (really thinking about that) or someone should fire him

Xperia Flashtool? More like Xperia Fucktool. Why? BECAUSE THE FUCKING THING CAN'T FLASH MY PHONE. FIRST YOU SPIT INTO MY FACE WHEN NOT DETECTING A COMPLETELY FINE .FTF, THEN YOU SHIT ON MY HEAD BY SAYING THAT THE .SIN FILE IS INVALID, AND THEN YOU PISS INTO MY MOUTH BY JUST REBOOTING THE DEVICE! Old version works fine tho.

Don't you just love when people hit you up on facebook saying their laptop/PC broke, tell you the symptome and then immediately ask:
- What could be the problem

Well, fucking trillion different things? What am I a fucking wizard? You want me to conclude why your PC is shutting randomly down when all you told me is "It's shutting down... like, randomly" and I don't have any insight into your PC and it's contents?

YouTube dark theme is pretty good!

Whenever I want to type the shrug emoji, I copy it from a Google note ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can type emojis just fine, enjoy a 🍓, yet there is a clear lack of accessibility for ASCII-emojis input on any device.

How is this fair!?

PS: I do know that this shrug is actually utf8 and not ascii. But that's beside the point. Also try saying “utf8 emoji” three time in a row.

I distinctly remember all of us discussing how we prefer to work at night. I worked through the night and now about to work through the day. Now it's all a blur and I feel numb inside. This voice keeps saying "you are just a machine" and then I wake up with qwerty stamped on my forehead and the music bringing me back. Time to work!

Me coding and researching to fix new things everyday and people come to me saying:
"You are working too much"

And I'm thinking: actually, its a never ending learning job, I dedicate so much because almost everyday I learn at least one thing.

But knowing that non-tech people have a hard time around it I just answer: yeah.

After hearing to hundreds of "just this last small change" , i told my client that he was a "chutiya" and he sent a link to this saying he had not intention of driving in India.😎😎

Just saying : devRant people can put another message in the letter they send with the stickers / stress ball and save paper..

My boss just realized that I'm allowed to say how I want to be treated as a female and it's ok while he can't say how a female should or shouldn't be treated is because I AM FEMALE and therefore I'm speaking for myself and from my own experiences not saying how someone else should feel!
Only took well over a year.....

JAVASCRIPT IS NOT THE SAME AS JAVA!!!!!!

I need to relax, just heard my friend saying he knew someone at Oracle ‘you know the company that owns JavaScript’. I just yelled at him.
Ok now CALM DOWN🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😤😤😤😤

Why is it so hard to remember, that devs need an error message if they should help you. just saying "it does not work" is not helping.
I even wrote you a checklist. so f*ing use it! I'm not there to be called every time just to tell you to do something that's already on this list.
Every. F**ing. Time.

Just wanted to root my phone again.
My carrier had an update but unrooting did not help to get it installed.

What it did though, was restoring my recovery partition.

So booting my phone in recovery mode, saying twice that I want to reset my phone (just the layer before booting into recovery).
Aaand... It actually erased. 😮

So having little sleep tonight because I need to install all my necessary apps again.

Dear fellow devs who use Notepad++ as their primary code editor,

Why? I’m curious why you prefer it instead of Sublime Text, VSCode, or Atom? I’m not saying it’s better or worse than other programs, I’m just curious. I’ve tried to use it recently (although it was my first code editor I’ve ever used) and it really felt bulky to me.

Sincerely, Athlon.

Almost 2 years working at this small IT company that has 7 developers and I just had my first small-talk conversation with the lead senior developer that was not related to work.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like to be able to chat to my colleagues instead of just saying "Good morning" and "See you tomorrow" and discussing my tasks. In any case, I'll go get a coffee and get back to coding.

The mudaphuking mosquitoes are literally saying "I don't give a fuck about death" to me.

I can kill them anyhow and they just keep coming every hour every day at my house. It's like my hands are having period.

I've just came to the end of my probation in a new role... Been told I've passed it already... But just raised an interesting typo in my original offer letter....

Instead of saying a
"pay increase up to £#####"
it says a
"pay rise OF £#####"
Upon completing your probation

So in half a mind to ask when I'll see my salary more than doubled like the offer letter says!

Just completed learning HTML from Jon duckett book! Feel so good. Wanted to learn coding so long. And I finally start. Starting CSS very soon. It's my first rant !! Reading rant almost more then 4 months from diff. Account. Just a newbie here. Saying everyone Hi😊 Doing #100daysofcoding !

Functional programming literally has 'fun' in the title. OOP is one letter away from 💩

Guys, just a quick update on the ability to delete default apps on iOS 10 since Apple is not saying much, I've just deleted all the defaults and gained around 0.38GB in total, it would appear that some of the Apps aren't in fact deleted but are just hidden from the home screen (which would explain the lack of a size being given on the App Store)

It is weird how nobody calls ++ button as increment button. After all saying I incremented your rant/comment makes more sense than I ++ your....

Or do you call it increment/decrement but just write ++?

I've just received an urgent bug report email saying something like:

Stop sending [item] to destination. This should have been taken care of in the initial work, but we forgot to say so.

... The work they requested was that [item] gets sent to destination if the user checks a checkbox. If I wasn't supposed to build this, then what did they want me to build in the first place?!

In the midst of all this I-hate-Apple fallout, I really just wanna rant because the default computer in the avatar builder is an Apple mock. Just saying 😂😂😂

'Cliche' can be added to the 'Reason for downvote?' list! 😋

Why do people keep saying devs are calm and dont have emotions. We have emotions(maybe just anger, but we do).

FREELANCING should be renamed to COSTLANCING. Many people thinks that freelancing means free of cost.

Gitlab > GitHub

To a fellow dev on my team; If you notice a difference between the spec and the database structure, just fucking talk to the BA! Don’t code something that fails and put it into QA.
And constantly saying “It’s not my job” is a severely career limiting move you dogmatic little shit.

I just spent 4 hours troubleshooting 2 pcs, neither of them working yet. I'm way too tired, and I'm not even sure what I'm saying is correct English but I don't care. Man, fuck my life. I just wanna go to bed, but my brain doesn't think that's a good idea

Just started the day with a mail saying that I'm gonna have my stickers sent to my house.

This Monday looks nice.

I literally have a discussion with somebody who says C# is better than PHP, even though the person in question never even touched PHP...

Like: if you prefer C# over PHP because you actually used BOTH and just prefer C# that's completely fine... but saying C# is flat out better just because you never used PHP?

It's like saying "Coca-Cola tastes better than Pepsi" even though you never had Pepsi (disclaimer: I like Coca-Cola better, but I don't really care that much about the minor difference)

That guy at the office who gets really irritated and worried about newly introduced technology. He would spend 2-3 days talking trash about it, saying how much he prefers the older and less efficient approach just because he knows it.

That fucking guy.

I don't think devrant subscribe works on iOS. Just keeps saying can't contact the App Store.

I just realized i have a great talent for saying wrong things in a job interview.

Client calls saying there's a problem with their site that he just noticed at home....

I don't want to start any wars in the comments, but what do you devs prefer: iOS or Android?

I'm not saying one is better. I'm just genuinely curious what other devs use. I prefer to use Android because I can do more with my phone.

I'm actually curious what most of you use, so feel free to tag other ranters you know in the comments. I've already commented the few I could come up with off the top of my head.

It's 3am, just submitted an app for review for iOS... go to take one last test drive on the release build for android, and I get stuck in an infinite loop of "system up stopped working". An factory reset and an hour later, I'm saying fuck this, android waits, and fuck whatever Xamarin did to my phone. While I'm at it, fuck Apple for making me have 20+ icons in different sizes, and their shitty walled garden approach to a so called marketplace.

Came to know about deepin OS on devrant yesterday
Tried it just few moment ago. It's the most beautiful OS I had ever seen. But ...
There is hell lot of issues. Except for the top sites like google, facebook linkedin github, no other page or site is opening. Browser just stops by saying "site can't be reached". Also these sites are loading slower than usual.
Even internet is unaccessible from terminal. Apt-get install just stops at "getting headers 0%"

Please help

Hmm. Seniors have the half working experience as I do and I am the only not senior one in Dev team.

I adapt code only to "taste" good for code reviewers, but they allow themselves to commit without caring and just saying :"oh unit testing is boring"

Enough with the kindergarten. Time to prepare myself for the next job.

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.

Client sends screenshots, compressed, and shrunk down to an unreadable size, inside a docx file.

Just... just no. Where is a spray bottle or a rolled up newspaper when you need one.

(For you three people who are going to comment 'why don't you just teach them...' ssssssssssshut up, some people are just unteachable ( for you other three who are going to say 'everyone is teachable.' Not true, if it was you wouldn't be saying such things.))

Reading documentation carefully is cool.
If i did that yesterday i would know that react sees env vars started with REACT_APP_
Instead that i was trying to figure out for 3 hours what is wrong with my docker compose file.
Read documentation

After writing ~200 lines of code and then unit testing it

THE TESTS ALL PASS!!!

then I run them again just to be sure and they all pass but mocha is saying I am getting 40ms lag on some of my tests...

Noooo!!!

This is meant to be an async message passing system; I cannot have an input lag of 40ms :(

I'm a beginner in the programming world and I know this is kinda crazy. But how great is the idea of me specializing in C++(not saying just that) ? Will I have a lot of scope? I'm already learning frameworks like qt. So am I wasting my time? Thought I should hear from ppl in the field already. Thanks

Ranting is the good habit we should develop.

Just saying!

I'm developing a web app, which is purely based on some commercial .NET driven API. The documentation is a 12 page MS Word file with incorrect parameters and non-existing endpoints. I think there's also a cronjob which purposely crashes their server every 15minutes. I just love getting client emails saying I need to fix my app and get my shit together.

If you could remember that I'm not your staff anymore and stop assigning me to projects. That'd be fucking swell.

I'm meant to be infrastructure now so fuck off. Oh a devs leaving let's hand the project to the infrastructure guy who's fucking leaving also!!

Fucking genius. I'm so close to just to saying fucking swivel and walking out. Fuck the notice period.

Just fml. I would rant but I'm sick of saying the same crap
