This is gold. This developer has a bold captcha solution.

Most of semi active Github projects be like...

Well at-least now I know why I haven't been able to login.

When you try and edit a CSS file you did 3years ago.

Best Part of beeing a dev is that i don't have to dress well at all, sneakers and hoodie are fine, even in meetings :-)

*Lazy Friend has IntelliJ and Eclipse*
*Lazy Friend using Notepad++*
Me: Why don't you use IntelliJ? Its debugger really helps..
LF: It takes too much time to start, I don't have that much time..
*continues staring at his screen and using his mind debugger*

It's kinda funny when he just sits and stares at his screen after saying that he doesn't have any time..

It took way less time to find the (a?) bug when he finally used the debugger..

OH CRAP.

THE LIVE GITHUB LAZINESS COUNT HAS HIT 40 MILLION!!!

In high school, we had to choose between sports or computer science. I didn't like to play sports and now I'm a programmer.

Found another gem from government's website

Latest facebook for iOS update is 219 mega-fucking-bytes. Yet, no real changelog to tell me what da fuck changed!!!!!! Fuck that developer for real!!!

Is this common?

When you want to be a godly programmer but all you do on your free time is watch movies and porn. :(

Boss assigned me a task on Google Docs:

Boss: "Please remove this line"

Me: "What!? You're already there! How hard is it to fucking select the fucking sentence with your fucking touchpad and press the fucking delete key on your fucking keyboard!? Why assign me with such a fucking waste of time and fucking trivial task!?"

Dear Chrome,

I know it's ridiculous to have 50+ tabs open, but please - pretty please - just make it work for me. 300 MB/tab is starting to make Windows mad.

No, I will not close them. I might need that page I opened 4 months ago and was too lazy to bookmark.

Google knows it all

Junior dev: asks me an easy question cuz he's too lazy to figure it out

Me: listening, thinking he's gonna waste my time again 😓

Senior dev: eavesdrops and helps him out

Me: saved me, woohoo 😎

*Few minutes later*

Senior dev: "by the time you finished asking this question, you could have compiled the code yourself to see what happens"

Me: 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂

I really need to get my lazy ass up and get the fuck to work on the privacy site.

Yeah let's fucking do that. I've got a nice special beer as motivation as well!

@dfox Feature request
Could we have fully displayed rants ? Maybe as a setting disabled by default ?
I mean sometimes i'd like to relax and just mindlessly scroll, and having to tap to read longer rant and then tap back is, well, too much.
Especially when the rant ia only like 2 words above limit.

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

I18n is short for internationalization because there is 18 letters between I and the last n. I love the laziness of developers.

I'll probably die sleeping!!

Stop bitching about having to write comments, they are important whether you like it or not. Trust me nobodys code is "that good" 😒

Everytime I have to execute several commands to do something, I tell myself:
I will write a script for that.
But now I have no time.
I will do it the next time.

I will never write these scripts.

Hhhmmmmmmm a useless piece of shit like always it is then

I used to work in a call center for a local hospital.

One night, all of our lines are swamped. Literally no time for a break between phone calls, +15 minute wait times. I answer the next call:

Me: "Its a marvelous Monday at AskIT, how may I help you?"

Doctor: "This is Dr. [Noone Care]. I need you to fix my password now."

Me: "Absolutely! You should be able to enter a new password now."

Doctor: "MY HANDS ARE NOT FOR PASSWORDS, MY HANDS ARE FOR SURGERY!"

😩 So glad I don't work for doctors anymore. Oh and the best part is, he had selected the general phone queue, rather than the doctor queue (~3 minute wait time instead).

Thanks ssh!

Because of you I don't have to leave the bed to run commands on my Linux server(laptop) sitting on my desk.

CS graduates that have never gone beyond "Hello World", fuck college and it's "system".

So the actual victims of the story are friends of mine, CS colleagues, but I can't help but share as the existence of code freeloaders enfuriates me.

At college in order to graduate you need to present a project in form of a thesis a side from your actual thesis, there is a shortage of pre-approved projects and everyone wants one.

A talented friend of mine who has many years of programming experience got in one with another friend of mine and a lady who I've never seen before. One Saturday night my friend and I were having some beers at a local bar and his phone didn't stop beeping so I jokingly said:

"Bro, tell your girl you need some space", he laughed and explained it was the chick from her project having some "issues" with node.

"So? Tell her to google it, it's Saturday night", he explained the girl has never coded before even though she's about to graduate so she had take it upon herself to pressure him to finish ASAP so she can graduate and get an already agreed position at the federal energy commission... As dev!

I've seen my bud in a lot of dumb calls with said chick trying to explain how you CAN'T COMPILE THE NODE WEBSERVER TO A .EXE!

It frustrated me how such an idiot can go through a CS major buying homeworks and getting low self-esteem geeks to code for her. Then I realized that as an aspiring InfoSec guy, lazy idiots coding is good for business.

Opening a documentation page to only find:

// Todo

FML.

PM emailed me a document from a customer to distribute it to the right people.

Me (in my head): WTF? You are the PM, that's your fucking job.

But I opened the document and read it. Some blah about requirements we discussed with the customer earlier. And the request to sign it as agreement on the requirements. The customer even put the names of the people at the end, he suspected to be the right ones.

So I send an email back to PM that this is project stuff, not my business. Case closed for me.

Half an our later PM enters my office, telling me he thought I was the right guy for this topic and he didn't know who else could be interested in it.

So I told him that this document is about defining project requirements and that he could have sent it to the people that are mentioned at the end of the document.

Turned out he didn't even opened the document. F...A... Wasted my time instead of doing his job.

Guess next time I'll be reading his documents at as good as he does.

Oh boy 😂

Stories of a lazy programmer...

He said he had.

This is what I found. FFS @michal78!

Am I the only developer here that is too lazy to design and code out my own website? Instead, I just purchase a theme and install in on a wordpress.

It feels like i brought dishonour to my family.

"Optimized for Firefox version XY in 1280x720px" - the footnote of the lazy designer from many years ago... Sadly there are still some websites created in 2017 that contain this text. Well, we even still have people in my region who make money with pure table designs for companies.

!rant
Just remembered the project back in my bachelor CS classes. The Prof was so utterly busy that he did not even read my thesis which he had to grade. I once sent him a 2mb bulk from /dev/rand which I piped into 'documentation.pdf' and got an A.

Sometimes the worst professors are the best :D

Should have started ranting when stressballs were 100++ and stickers were 10

That moment when writing code to perform a one time task ends up taking more time than just doing the task manually

I’m the embodiment of lazy...

I had turned on the TV in the living room earlier and put on sesame st. for my daughter to watch.

Some time passes, I’m trying to work in the back bedroom, have daughter in my arms and she’s falling asleep. I forgot to turn off the TV in the front room.

Didn’t want to get up from my desk so I just wrote up a powershell script to connect to the computer plugged into the TV and kill chrome. (The Computer sleeps after 10 minutes, and the TV shuts off after 10 more minutes of no display signal).

Script was successful as I heard Elmo laughing, then suddenly all was quiet 🤫

Recruiters at it again...

YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

I have nothing against teaching and showing someone starting in this field how to do things but FOR FUCKS SAKE, PUT INTEREST IN IT, I WON'T DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, I HAVE MY JOB, YO DO YOURS.

Jesus...fucking Christ, these kind of people always get on my nerves.

Real innovation vs lazy

Answered dfox's what's your weekend project question with "gotta hack some open source app for my needs". In reality, watched the cutest possum and Snoop Dogg's wild life commentary on YouTube is all I did on my computer.

Saw that on the company website.. to lazy to use URL-Rewriting, just did that *OMG*

Lazy cunts

I was contacted by a college senior guy (he was part of the core team of the club that I recently joined in my college).

Him: Do you want to launch your own startup?

Me: Yeah, I would love to.

Him: Nice, Listen. Even I want to start my own company. If you don't know, the current trend is ML and AI . So, I would like to base my startup on an AI application.( He was in his final year )

Me: I haven't tried any ML or AI stuff before.Sorry.

Him: Take 2 months time to study the AI concepts and do the app.

Me: But first, tell me what the AI app is supposed to do?

Him: It can be anything I have to think, you take the AI part and the UI and integration; with your skills and my idea let's build a startup and I will appoint you as the head of Application Development in my company.

*wtf, seriously dude? you want me to build the whole app for you and all you will do is put your fucking startup's name on it. I am building an application all by myself why the f would I ask you to publish it for me*

Me: Okay, I am getting late, I have to leave..

Made sure I didn't meet him again

and I have also came out of that stupid club..

Today, I reached a new level of laziness.

I lied down to watch a movie and I was too lazy to copy the movie from my external hard drive which was in the other side of the bed.

What did I do? I've downloaded the movie once again and watched.

You know what does my fucking head in?

Designers or developers who shit on Twitter bootstrap because of something to do with how it looks.

Bootstrap is a framework. Not a theme.

If I can look at your site and tell, just by looking, that you’ve used bootstrap, then you’re a lazy developer / designer.

A site / app should look like how it was designed by the designer (even if that’s you). It SHOULDN’T look like the default version of the css framework you’ve used.

Thanks to you asshole I've managed to book my accommodation from February 2nd to 4th instead of March.

Now I don't have anywhere to sleep while I must go there for the weekend because I have some course to attend to.

Abso-fucking-lutely great.

Tl;Dr - It started as an escape, carried on as fun, then as a way to be lazy, and finally as a way of life. Coding has defined and shaped my entire life from the age of nine.

When I was nine I was playing a game on my ZX spectrum and accidentally knocked the keyboard as I reached over to adjust my TV. Incredibly parts of it actually made a little sense to me and got my curiosity. I spent hours reading through that code, afraid to turn the Spectrum off in case I couldn't get back to it. Weeks later I got hold of a book of example code to copy out to do various things like making patterns on the screen. I was amazed by it. You told it what to do, and it did it! (don't you miss the days when coding worked like that?) I was bitten by the coding bug (excuse the pun) and I'd got it bad! I spent many late nights on that thing, escaping from a difficult home life. People (especially adults) were confusing, and in my experience unpredictable. When you did things wrong they shouted at you and threatened to take you away, or ignored you completely. Code never did that. If you did something wrong, it quietly let you know and often told you exactly what was wrong. It wasn't because of shifting expectations or a change of mood or anything like that. It was just clean logic, simple cause and effect.

I get my first computer a year later: an IBM XT that had been discarded by a company and was fitted with a key on the side to turn it on. With the impressive noise it made it really was like starting an engine. Whole most kids would have played with the games, I spent my time playing with batch scripts and writing very simple text adventures. And discovering what "format c:" does. With some abuse and threatened violence I managed to get windows running on it. Windows 2.1 I think it was.

At 12 I got a Gateway 75 running Windows 95. Over the next few years I do covered many amazing games: ROTT, Doom, Hexen, and so on. Aside from the games themselves, I was fascinated by the way computers could be linked together to play together (this was still early days for the Web and computers networked in a home was very unusual). I also got into making levels for Doom, Heretic, and years later Duke Nukem 3D (pretty sure it was heretic; all I remember is the nightmare of trying to write levels entirely by code!). I enjoyed re-scripting some of the weapons and monsters to behave differently. About this time I also got into HTML (I still call this coding, but not programming), C, and java. I had trouble with C as none of the examples and tutorial code seemed to run properly under a Windows environment. Similar for my very short stint with assembly. At some point I got a TI-83 programmable calculator and started rewriting my old batch script games on it, including one "Gangster Lord" game that had the same mechanics as a lot of the Facebook games that appeared later (do things, earn money, spend money to buy stuff to do more things). Worried about upcoming exams, I also made a number of maths helper apps, including a quadratic equation solver that gave the steps, and a fake calculator reset to smuggle them into my exams. When the day came I panicked and did a proper reset for fear of being caught.

At 18 I was convinced I was going to be a professional coder as I started a degree in Computer Science. Three months later I dropped out after a bunch of lectures teaching what input and output devices were and realising we were only going to be taught Java and no C++. I started a job on the call centre of a big company, but was frustrated with many of the boring and repetitive tasks we had to do. So I put my previous knowledge to use, and quickly learned VBA to automate tasks. It wasn't long before I ended up promoted to Business Analyst where I worked on a great team building small systems in Office, SAS, and a few other tools.

I decided to retrain in psychology, so left the job I was in and started another degree. During my work and placements my skills came in use a number of times to simplify and automate tasks. I finished my degree, then took a job as a teaching assistant while I worked out what I wanted to do next and how to pay for it. Three years later I've ended up IT technican at the school, responsible for the website, teaching a number of Computing lessons each week, and unofficial co-coordinator for Computing as a subject. I also run a team of ten year old Digital Leaders who I am training in online safety and as technical experts; I am hoping to inspire them to a future in coding. In September I'll be starting teacher training with a view to becoming a Computing specialist teacher. Oh, and I'm currently doing a course in Android Development in my free time.

And this all started with an accidental knock on the keyboard of a ZX Spectrum.

Do you feel me?

Fuck these stupid frustrating trends. It drives me fucking crazy. Scrolling a website and sections overlap each other, text flying in as you scroll, stuff fading in, images moving over text panels. FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!! I want to read the content, I don't want to feel sick and confused. Clients - DO NOT SEND ME A LINK TO THIS KIND OF WORTHLESS SHIT, SAYING 'I WANT IT LIKE THIS'.

Procrastination..

I mean literally.

This is literally me all the time, :P

I have become so lazy that I write things like
int reservations = getReservations()
and then use the IDEs quickfix to change int to Arraylist<Reservation>
Saves me roughly 15 characters but its always worth it :D

This happens too frequently... I turn off my computer but then I sit in front of it for hours on my phone. It's 2:30 AM, go to sleep, me.

My new fitbit reminds me take 250 steps each hour. When I do stop and take a walk, I find it helps my productivity, and I feel better. However, I'm not good at keeping to it.

It's always the same story.

"Quiet you, I'll get up and walk once I finish this one thing".

...

Another hour goes by.

If only I could keep to my own convictions.

Heights of laziness.

My dad's laptop having "WINDOWS OS" got full of viruses and my dad wanted me to repair it since I visited my home.
But I insisted him to get it repaired at some IT shop. Went to an IT shop, my dad introduced the shopkeeper that I am his son and is a software engineer. That moment, I really felt bad that even I could have done formatting and installing applications back.

Now, let's hope it comes back full healthy and clean.

Lazy developers.

Lazy days.

I hate fucking fellow students that don't do anything in collaborative projects...

What is the laziest that you have done?
I had to transfer some photos from my phone to PC but the USB cable was in the other room, so I uploaded it on my Google drive from my phone and then downloaded it on my PC
:P

I should really write documentation for my old projects...
Meh. I'll do it tomorrow...

What a lazy fuck.

This so called full-stack developer doesn't know how to use mysql from command line. The only way he can do anything in the database is using phpMyAdmin or MySQL gui.

What? How do you even call yourself a developer when you don't know how to use basic command line tools?

The fucker wants me to find out why a particular feature is not working?

Why the fuck are you being paid for? You stupid idiot.

"Can you please grep ... in the server?"

What? Why would I do that for you? How about you ssh the server yourself?

What a waste of time.

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.

Goddamned!

When you publish a package or module for anything, fucking write some proper documentation for it that allows people to at least get started without having to skim through half the fucking source code first.

It fucking pisses me off when I'm searching for a package that does a specific thing that I'm too lazy or don't have time for to write, and then I have to try a myriad of things instead in order to get your crap package to work. That doesn't help.

On the contrary, I could have spent the time I just wasted to understand how to use your fucking module to actually make it better. Fuck you with a shovel handle until it splinters, then beat you with the rest of it, but I'll rather write my own module and document it properly, so others can get started quickly, rather then carrying your lazy arse for you.

If you publish software, I don't give a shit whether it's OS or not, have the sodding decency to make it usable too or fuck right off, and leave it to the grown ups, you lazy cunt.

Me: I need this task to be finished before 6 PM.
Lazy Me ( Whispering ): huh, I didn't say today.

If you CC: me on an email I won't read it because I'm clearly not the intended recipient and I'm not going to do your work for you in trying to work out why I should give a fuck.

If you wish me to actually *give* said fuck then send me my own fucking email explaining why I should give a rat's anus about your shitty little problems.

And, if you try to use "but I copied you on the email" as an excuse for your incompetence in a meeting, I will eviscerate you on the spot. You will be looking at your small intestine while I ask your assembled co-workers if they have any other business.

CC: basically means you have no respect for my time. So, if you do it, I'm coming for you...and your family...and your friends...and all the people you know on Linked-In...

That moment when you know your code can be much shorter and cleaner but you just keep typing because you're too lazy to restructure.

How to force your self to write unit tests for your personal projects:
1. Go to a public place
2. Forget to bring your phone cable & never install a simulator because you are lazy af
3. Profit!

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.

I know whats wrong, I know how to fix it, but it would require too much energy so trying to find a different way to fix it

I swear, the next time I hear a web developer say to me: "Yeah let's pretend as if the security hole in the website isn't there, because truth be told, i cannot be bothered to fix it."

Dear clients, its Monday, please calm down

that moment when you get an idea about awesome app to publish in the play store, but you remember how many other 100 ideas that are waiting for your move to write code, designing. so you give up, now you have 101 ideas waiting...

Guy I work with messaging me: Hey could you check my SQL syntax to get the date part for the month and year.

Me thinking: Ughhh this is going to be something stupid I know it. Why doesn't he just check it himself?

I check it... 2 queries that are very, very, very... simple... and similar except one returns last year (2017) and the other returns the current year (2018)

Me: Not sure what your issue is... I'm not getting any syntax errors. They are executing

Him: Well it shouldn't show 2017, it should show 2018

Me thinking: learn to debug you lazy fuck

Me: Well you're adding a -1 to your year...(Not sure why your even adding to it if your just getting the current month and year)

Him: Oh you're correct! That makes sense

Waste of my time

Sat in a McDonald's watching two staffers try to mop a floor.

I'll be honest, I'm very close to taking it away and doing it myself.

I cannot stand "busy work" do it properly or don't do it at all.

Lazy Dev

A couple of weeks ago I had an internship. I worked there with a classmate. We had a simple assignment, but since we're noobs when it comes to web applications (and because you don't learn that in school), we even had a hard time preparing.

Finally, I... I mean "we" decided to use React because it's close to the way we learned to solve problems in school. I asked him to implement a page with a date picker/calendar. I even searched for a repo that. 2 Days later he was still not able to implement it, he experimented with the code, but he
1. didn't even read the readme, just copied the tutorial expecting it to work
2. Didn't even look at the logic behind it.
3. Demanded to use this other repo with less functionality

10-30 minutes should have been more than enough. Instead, I wasted time telling him to read and code properly. He refused the second (and probably also the first), because "Why should I care? We'll be here for 3 weeks and then we're done with this"

Guess whom I'll avoid in any possible group project

...I think. THINK. That I might have indeed spent too much time in front of the computer...

Client request: POST /user/login
Server response: "Login working bitches"
Client: if (response === "Login working bitches"){
//sign in
}

When the change log says "fixed bugs and improved performance" only to find the entire application has been redesigned.

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

Why? 😪

I guess it’s ok...

"We’re not insulting Larry [Wall] by saying he’s lazy; laziness is a virtue. The wheelbarrow was invented by someone
who was too lazy to carry things; writing was invented by someone who was too lazy to memorize; Perl was
invented by someone who was too lazy to get the job done without inventing a whole new computer language."
- footnote from Learning Perl, by Randal L. Schwartz, brian d foy, and Tom Phoenix

Ah fucking hell.
I hate it when my boss goes the path of least resistance to implement something.

Of course declaring a class property with the "any" type (TypeScript) is a fucking lot easier than to properly write an interface for it and declare the property with that type.

Thank god I have holidays, otherwise I would hatepunch his fucking monitor. Twice.

Am I dumb/blind or devrant could use the reply on the rant itself? I have a problem when wanting to tag the creator and I have to type the username (if not previously replying on the rant)..which usually means switching between the rant and comment several times before I get it right.. :/

Docker swarm. All i want is a 'zero-downtime' system and everytime i try to set it up there's three damn things missing. Load balencer, service updater, and a good distributed storage. I finally got pissed off and am working on those but fuck it's been how fucking long docker has been out why the hell somebody else hasn't done this yet.

This just happened....

Tester: My cluster is not working properly!!!
Me: What's wrong?
Tester: I don't know. I've checked all the logs available on the entire cluster. All i know is that node 1 and 7 is broken.
*ssh into the cluster*
node1
# less /var/log/<affected application log>.log
*no errors here everything is working properly*
node7
# less /var/log/<affected application log>.log
*goes down to the bottom and scrolls up a few lines*
<insert massive error here>

Checked all the logs eh?

Also backend service down :P

Some of us have co-worker who never wrote comment in their code.

Just created a batch file to delete a directory so that I don't have to right click and move my mouse all the way to delete and click it.

An example of today's generation:
My little cousin 22 years old wants to get into BI Dev. I tell him to read a certain book. The book has practice examples and various things that are hands on.

What does he do?
He READS the book and is like, "ask me any question and I know the answer". So I'm like, "fine, what's the structure of a basic SQL statement?", after some hard thought he's like, "SELECT * FROM?" I'm like, "ok.....how would you filter that?" and he's like, "you got me man........no clue".

What didn't he do?
Practice.

I mean.........come on.

Too lazy to implement DB Transaction. I hope I won't get fired for this.

Today, I was so certain that all the functionalities were implemented to handle some webhook calls from a third-party service. It's a script I wrote that has been running for 2+ years uninterrupted or without any issues.

We got some "complaints/notices" today that some "special" actions weren't registered, so I thought that the third-party service just didn't send those actions via their webhook. After some research I found a part where they explained that those actions trigger the webhook like any other action etc. So..

First thought: "okay, maybe they implemented that at a later stage" (was not the case)
Second thought: "maybe this is not what the client meant" (it was)
Third thought: "Then it should have been implemented" (it wasn't)

Okay, time to look at the code to see where this could get handled but apparently isn't. All the actions look good, nice, clean handeling etc, nicely documented code (gave the 'past-me' mentally a high-five)..

I scroll further down to that specific action and it was quiet obvious why it didn't work.. I just see an empty function with the comment:

"//TODO: maybe handle this action one day. don't know what this does atm, probably unused.. Will take a look at it next week.."

.. :D

I took my 'high-five' back..I just needed to copy-paste some other code and change 1-2 parameters..

1. Go to Github for you
2. Download the 'codes'
3. Send them as a pdf to you when the code is there in the repo.

YOU LAZY MOTHERFUKCER!

I hate people that sends an email with a question and when you fail to reply within their arbitrary deadline (not in the email) they email you the same question but copying your boss and your boss's boss when they could've literally just walk 20 steps to ask the same question

I only asked for help...

Has anyone else noticed that the notifications screen's title is just "Notifs" even though it could've been "Notifications"?

That poor rant, missed one vote. Am not scrolling back, lazy mode on.

"We don't need to design this page, we'll just wing it in dev. It's not an important page."

result: 47 jiras about choice of fonts, alignment, padding, missing images that were never provided, how it looks shit on mobile and can we make it black instead?

So this just happened... This is a PR I just got, fucking lazy developers...

git commit messages

at work:
Only related changes on commit
"Detailed explanation of changes
- This bug
- That bug"

personal project:
1732 changed files
"Changes"

I really couldn't help but laugh when I found this gem of an error message. I mean, I'd literally know just as much if it served me a blank page.

If you can't describe your own god damned error message without calling it 'generic', IT IS NOT A GOOD ERROR MESSAGE!

I'm glad they informed me it's an application error though. HERE I WAS THINKING MY TOASTER WAS THE PROBLEM.

short story: I'm probably the laziest human being on earth.

long story: Since a few months, i'm working on a project at work (setup installer for deployment) which drives me crazy. The requirements are anything but straightforward and the codebase is already a mess (new technology, fundamental changes again and again).

For that reason, I had a dream: A new, clean and separated framework, written in my spare time. I guess this would take only about 20-25 hours, because now I have the necessary knowledge. Yeah. Sounds great, BUT I HAD THIS DREAM LIKE A FUCKING MONTH AGO OR SO!!!! I'm so fucking lazy, that's embarrassing. In one month, I couldn't get up my ass for about 20 hours. Just embarrassing.

I've always got an excuse:

Angel me: "Hey, it's saturday. Let's code some lines."
Devil me: "Yes, but just watch one more episode of this cool new tv-series. I just wanna see, who that little cat-faced murderer is. There's still so many time left that weekend."
Result: Watched the whole season at a stretch -> saturday is gone.

Angel me: "Hey, it's sunday and you have nothing to do now, let's code some lines and make your life at work easier."
Devil me: "Yeah, for sure, LATER! Now it's time for the gym. Health is the most important thing in life."
Result: Went to gym; "quick" walk with a girl; Met some other friends; cooked; watched tv -> Now it's sunday evening 9:11 pm. Sunday is ALMOST gone.

Guess what i do now for the rest of the day?

Sometimes I fucking hate myself.

The power to actually code instead of being lazy

That tiny *snap* in the temple of the head when you're enjoying yourself and suddenly you got disconnected from the internet,

*surge of violent tendencies
*furiously inhale
*angrily exhale
*muffled swearing in my mind

Long story short, the internet at my boarding house is fucking shitty due to lack of management's effort to fix it

I want to get started hard on a cool project but I’m stuck watching Silicon Valley.

Fuck my laziness

Cool thing! Good work
@CozyPlanes

Apparently, too lazy to define a function.

Ugh! So boring writing the same thing over and over! So instead I wrote a ruby script to generate some C# code for me!

Honestly...I just make excuses to do stuff with Ruby 😂

Lazy? no just smarter

Am I the only one who is just to lazy to order devrant stickers even if my posts have enough upvotes? :D
Don't get me wrong i love stickers!

To lazy to search for a new custom rom...

Gotta live with my laggy phone (Note 3)

So instead of being productive today. I got bored and did this.

A dev joins the project. I help him set up, and he has everything up and running. I give him a task to fix a CSS issue, I even tell him what needs to be done. Almost 4 hours later I begin to wonder what's taking him so long and what is he up to. He finally sends me a pull request with just one line of code changed, and leaves for the day, over 45 mins earlier than supposed to.

That I'm Not working on my personal projects after university or work and beeing to lazy to even start learning a new language.

Started to re-watch the whole season one of Silicon Valley, because was procrastinating work and needed to get inspired. Didn't take into account the time it would require to watch the whole season. Would've started earlier than I did, even after procrastinating.

The floor is Not Getting Shit Done Before Deadline

I never bothered to request my stickers. I was waiting for my one rant to reach 200 to get my stress ball and stickers together, but then the limit was bumped to 500 and I couldn't be bothered. I might buy a duck or the avatar stickers though, as I feel bad asking for free stuff from such an awesome app.

How do you reply to multiple people in a rant without having to mention their names explicitly?

Click reply on the first person, go back, click reply on the next person, go back and so on!

Client asked me to complete the job as fast as I can and, here I am, waiting for the review of the latest version for the past 2 WEEKS.

Good thing, she paid up the entire amount beforehand. *Rubs hands in glee*

Is it just my preview or are there more rants with the topic "lazy"?
It's almost like devRant is trying to tell me something. 😐

When you have to made a little game with javascript, and because it's your first game you made a beautiful maze with lot of wall.

Ahahah... i'm shit.
I forgot wall have collision.

I'm here now, with 40 different fuckin' walls and much if and else if conditions.

I hate me.

Yeah i know, I can just change my maze but no... I'm lazy. Cry against the collisions is better.

Have good day.

Anyone here use one of those powered sit/stand desks? If so, how do you like them?

I worked with this hack of a backend dev that was too lazy to add a complex(ish) object to our CMS tool. His solution?

One giant-ass text box with the label "put JSON here".

If tech people were using it I wouldn't mind, but our poor content managers have no idea what json is. Plus like... no examples, no schema... they would have to change shit then go look at the website to see if it worked. Fucking asshole.

Plus.. I mean SHIT, MAN! This was in a Node.js tool... if you have the Json parser you could just GENERATE the respective form fields. DO YOUR JOB

MOTHERDUCKER!

I've spent two days trying to make a LED control system in my room (basically controlling lights in my room).

The thing consists of an Arduino, a Bluetooth module (which i'm going to rant about), bunch of transistors.... yada, yada... you know the drill.

after getting all the parts necessary I figured out that if the lights are powered by a 9V adapter, and the Arduino Uno can be powered by 9V aswell. Maybe the Nano could do too.... 5 minutes of research shows that I can, just use the Vin pin on the Arduino.

And so I did, I wired everything up (quadruple check if there aren't any undesired connections)

It worked (or so I thought).
But the bluetooth isn't showing up. (I wired it up on the 5V pin, which it says that you SHOULD)

But after dismantling the thing and using a resistance meter I found out that there is 0 Ohms between Vin and 5V.

Now I ended up with a dead component because of some lazy motherducker who works at Arduino.

God why do you hate me so much when I try to do something on my own.

I seriously have no idea who to blame here.

Happened to me a while ago:

co-worker: don't use (C++) templates so your colleagues who aren't as smart as you don't have such a hard time understanding your code.
me: said the guy who uses macros all over the place.
co-worker: macros have been around for years and you can expect one to understand those.
me: *tempted to start a discussion about C++ with one who started programming with C like 20 years ago and who doesn't give a fuck about learning new things*... You're right!

I've been BSing my skillset for so long to myself, it's a veritable toolbox of mixed knowledge but no complete sets...

I wonder if it's too late for me to catch up or if I will ever actually complete any learning...

I am yet to finish learning

Html
CSS
PHP
Ruby
C#
ASM I can do i386 but not x86
VB
Pascal if you can believe
C
C++
Java
JS
Python
Powershell
Bash

My main skill is basically just remembering anything I do, including code syntax and example code fragments well enough to quote at people which makes me a lazy learner.

!Rant #lazy
I setup my local server so I can test my apps and to mount my partitions on my www folder in a folder named "mnt" with numbered folders for each mounted partition
So I can access and download my files to phone and other devices from all over the network :)
And even watch movies that are in my computer on my phone or tv
And when I want to sleep I usually watch a movie or one episode of series which is stored in my pc ,on my phone by this method in my bed 😅
So the thing is I'm too lazy to get out of bed and shut down the server and pc
So I setup this file so I can run commands on my PC from my phone 😅😂😂😂

Refactor?
Is it another word for procrastination?

Who reads the ...[read more] rants?

My C64 Retro Game Dev book didn’t arrive today because the courier “couldn’t find your front door”.

Seriously?! 30+ orders in the past 6 months and this dumb fuck couldn’t find me?

I live at a goddamn museum, signposted all through the town.

dev vs QA rant (n + 1)

So our QA is done by China team so naturally time difference is quite irritating,

I cannot change code
I cannot debug for issue

So today I fix a critical issue and before pushing it my seniors send the to the QA
> QA unavailable
> I wait for QA because nobody notifies if the code is tested and I can work ahead
> I get review that my issue fix generated another issue (page gets redirected)
> I'm angry and astonished, I check on same link, same circumstances and no such issue is found
> My seniors say read the issue properly and I do it, no positive response when I contradict the QA
> QA leaves for home on Friday and critical issue still remains in live

I cannot believe the laziness of QA, I mean it's their loss at the end of the day.

> top of that I waited 2 hours for QA to check the issue

The client portal of the biggest bank in SA is down.

I took a break, because if they website is down, who cares about my minor bugs? 😀

*let's people know he can program*
>constantly gets asked to do xyz, "I'd even pay you", because idiots are too lazy to do anything on their own
😐

And it's not like they're asking for hard things, they are literally asking you to do stuff you can find on Google in 30 seconds but they are too lazy to do so

Maybe the dev was lazy.. :/

My email is just as valid if there is a whitespace at the end of it as if there wasn't.. ffs, just add a trim!

When you're in the zone, writing your genius down before you forget it, and you smartwatch reminds you to go stand and move around. 😑

"Sweet, I fixed story 1 and can commit! ...but issue 2 is pretty small, let me just work on that first so there's 1 pull request".

4 hours later, issue 2 not done yet, and I can't push push story 1 to QA until I finish it. I really need to stop doing that.

Applied for passport renewal 1.5 months ago... No update yet

My friend applied for passport renewal yesterday from different state and received a message for printing in evening.

Test1, t2, 3...

Me: No more coding on live sites this year!

Also me: [adds code to live site]

Am I the only one doing this?

My worst experience with a designer was when one forgot to design the website mock up for 2 weeks... so I just did it myself. Thankfully I have a degree in both development & design and bullshited my way through it. We were swamped at the time so I wasnt too thrilled to be doing his job. He somehow still has a job here, even though he's lazy and his mockups suck. 🤐😵👎

Somebody asked me for help on their thesis, gave them advise, how they should do it, what are the best practices on implementing things...

I asked the today how are they doing? They answered, we paid someone to do it, we can't do it...

Damn are they even studying and doing their daily programming practice???

Whem you'd rather create a completely different system from scratch for work than fix that one JIRA ticket 😐

Looking through code, discovered a front end plugin wasn't activating right on a form input. Go look at the code, intern commented it out and wrote a comment saying "This didn't work and I didn't know how to fix it. So I turned it off." If you don't know, then ask. Don't leave it broken and not tell anyone! I am so glad this kid is gone. I really hope he doesn't come back after term.

Currently procrastinations bitch. Fucking hate it.

How can I contribute on github, I always say that I will yet I never do?Any tips?

I love having a clean, open working environment...but I hate doing the work to keep that environment maintained.

Just another lazy, less energetic Monday! :-/
Does everyone feel this way or is it just me?

So, I'm bored at work (contract ends in one month and finished everything I could do), so I started searching for a new flat for September.
In France we have a website called "LeBonCoin" which is like craigslist, people post available flats.

But, being a nerd, instead of searching manually (peasants) (and also because I have so much free time on my hands), I coded a web scrapper in Python. It gets all the info (monthly rent, description,...)

So far so good, now need a way to make it calculate the distance between the flat and my next work place (for biking), and the city center.

So a while ago when I was in college, there was this junior that said he kinda liked programming but didn't know where to start.

Me being a good person told him I'll introduce it to him. I showed him some basic stuff and asked to look these up a little.

Turns out he's a lazy ass person that doesn't even do shit. I told him to install ubuntu by looking at some videos. He fucking straight up comes to my house 2 times in 30 minutes saying I'm opening usb in windows but I don't know what to do.. well if you watched a video you would know you don't fucking open it in windows for gods sake. I told him to message me and not come to my house all the time... But guess what... He fucking comes to my house all the time dressed up as some fucked up swag boi. Calls me at 11:30 in the night.. fucking hell call at any time of the day what the fuck.. I'm lying in bed trying to sleep and this fucker just can't fucking listen and straight up call me or come to my house.

Any of you that think I'm being harsh by not helping, I fucking am but you can't just become a programmer with the mindset that you can just sit around and have everybody else do the work and show you while you just sit there like k I'm a programmer now tanks.

Fuck me for thinking I can teach him. I have a friend who knows a bit about programming. Those are the kind of people I can happily teach and learn from but god can I not handle people who don't fucking do anything and come to people's houses all the time and calling at night.

I know when I was getting into programming I didn't know shit.. but I didn't go to people's houses banging saying i cannot install ubuntu.. i learned everything from the internet.. googling should be a skill that we should put in our resumes.

Thank you for reading til the end.

You know you should tidy up some space when your ssd has more space left then your hard drive

I still have a second hard drive, but I'm too lazy to move either my steam games or my programs over there...
The time will hit me when the last GB has been used

EDITOR=nano sudoedit foo

Spare me please…
It's not that I don't know how to use vim/vi, I'm just lazy to get used to it…

Disciplined to name a folder as 'Folder' in Windows and Lazy to name as 'folder' in Linux.

*Not wanting to press 'shift' key everytime to access.

WTF, I've just written 3 lines of code, I'm gonna check devrant and social media.

Programmer friend: Dood, do this and this and show it to me, I'll say if it's good.
Me (noob): Okay, sure.

*next week*

F: So why did you stop coding?
M: Why do you think so?
F: You didn't show me your project in a week.
M: I was lazy?
F: LAZY?!?!

*while writing a function, sees mistake in another function unrelated to the one I'm writing* eh, can't be bothered to fix that right now, I'll wait for someone to file a bug
