At my old job we hired a junior developer. Turned out the junior knew more than all of us. I learnt a lot from him and it pushed me to update my knowledge and skill set!

*I was recruiting programmer's for a Unity game and this guy came along*

Me: So what can you program in?

Pearson: HTML and a bit of CSS.

Me: *oh dear* any else?

Person: I learnt Python recently. I know how to make variables!

I thought "Java" and "Javascript" are the same language at the first time I learnt programming 😂😂😂

Bro, I want to hack Facebook. I have learnt HTML. what to do next?

Replace the teachers with no real world experience with part-time workers that are still active in IT.

I had this last year in my final year of vocational education and it was amazing, I had two teachers running their business two days a week and teaching us everything on the three remaining days.

I learnt about oop without dogs and cats, I learnt to extract information from invoices to be able to create an invoicing system without being misled by customers, and much more.

Second thing would also be something we did in my previous education. It was called "learning productively".

Basically, companies would give a project to the school and students could pick one to do for a few months. You had to have meetings with the customer, you had to give presentations and it wasn't another fucking calculator.

I've had the pleasure of working with a big corporation like this and learnt a ton in my first year.

These were extremely valuable, I think I'd still be a piece of shit developer without any knowledge on how to actually develop a full system and how to manage a project as a dev.

Peace

New to programming.
Just learnt about git.

Git is awesome!!

I accidentally open eclipse (Java code) during a demo.

The same smart ass Einstein's cousin business guy : Oh that is SQL, I have learnt it.. it was too simple for me that is why I decided not to be a developer

Me : You are lucky it's Friday

"It is just a small task. I can do that in just..." Never ever ever say the above statement even if you are 10000% confident.

I just realized 1/4th of devRant has tried devRantron ✌

I just wanted to thank everyone, this has been an amazing experience and I've learnt a lot from it. We have some really cool features comming down the pipeline.

I love all of you ♥️

Saw this quote in a local newspaper. The guy is against buying laptops for school kids which I also am against but he makes the wrong argument. 25 years ago my school had computer rooms where we learnt how to code and although I don't use that language now it is still the same concepts as any modern language.

Today I learnt from a more experienced Dev that using git as versioning system makes the code open source.

what I have learnt from programming so far

One of the important lessons I learnt in DevRant.

"You don't choose the free stress ball, the stress ball chooses you."

Stop reading and JUST start writing code.

I've been stuck in coding limbo because I kept looking for the right answer.

And I've learnt over time that the right answer will come to you only when you know what exactly you're looking for.

So start coding.

Just learnt Node JS a week back for a personal project. Started working on it and had to get hospitalized for Dengue. Feeling like a helpless non tech guy without my laptop 😓

I used to use Firefox few years ago, but people around me called me fool and told me that Chrome was much better.
Now I use Chrome and you devRanters are making me feel like fool again.
Lesson Learnt: Stand straight on your decisions

I learnt a bit of Java recently. I wish I didn't. Because I primarily work with php. Now I kind of dislike php.

What I've learnt so far using git for the first time in a major project.

Git commit Suicide

I learnt python so much
Now i try to finish my exams in one line

(.__.)

I learnt more in the 1 year i interned as opposed to the 3 years i spent in classroom

I learnt the hard way

Lesson learnt :
Never ever do "rm -rf <pattern>" without doing "ls <pattern>" first.
I had to delete all the contents of my current directory.
I did "rm -rf /*" instead of "rm -rf ./*".

Some time ago I learned that my brother was taking a MATLAB class at University. I thought to myself​ "hey, why not try teaching him another language, like C#".

He learnt that shit faster than anyone I've ever tutored! Even the 3rd years at University had more problems than he did.

So fucking proud.

The number of devRants along the lines of "I learnt to code and now get asked to fix printers".

Today I learnt that my LG Nexus 5X uses a Samsung manufactured DRAM :O

I had no idea that several Google and Apple devices use Samsung manufactured RAM chips!

PS - Don't judge me, I'm a hardware noob.

I consider myself a web developer for over 7 years.

Today, I learnt that http features a HEAD request.

Wut.

Opens devRant
Reads a few ultrageeky rants
Doesn't understand them, bamboozled
Realises there is so much to be learnt
Goes back motivated

So... I learnt a couple things today about C++ language which I didn’t know before...

1. float var = 5.9;
std::cout << ( var == 5.9 );

// shows 0 (false) coz of float and double thing... apparently, 5.9 isn’t automatically converted to float when compared to one 🤔

2. arr[ i ] == i[ arr ]

Well... I guess I now like my college 1% more from the previous % whatever that was 😊☺️

I've learnt more real world tech from devrant than from school :)

Starting a tiny and purely personal coding project, mostly for practicing a newly learnt language...

...Spend 5 hours brainstorming to find a good name for my "product".

Most important phrase I learnt. "Can it wait till tomorrow?" Keep you work life balance healthy.

I just spoke to somebody who said she has learnt jQuery and javascript is next on her list of things to learn.

It makes me want to cry.

Holy shit i've found my father's old books back from the 80's for basic and comodore 64. He learnt from thoose and used to code a lot of games and office softwares on that old beast. 😮

Using devRant.

I have learnt a lot from everyone. I didn't even realise before that being a dev can be sooo awesome.

Thanks @dfox, @trogus.

never mess with GRUB!
lesson learnt -.-"

"This will fail in 2022, but there's no way my code is still gonna be used then"
- Some Microsoft engineer in the '90s

When I was in school I had some guys walk up to me and asked:

G: Are you Feeno?
Me: Yes, what's up?
G: We need our FY project on school management system done.
Me: Okay?
G: How much will that cost us?
Me: *confused because I was still a freshman. At that point the only programming language I knew was elementary qbasic. I couldn't even write a hello world program without the help of Google*
So played along because yes we're talking about money here.

Me: It will cost you guys N amount of money (*improvised deep voice*).
G: Okay. Fair price.
* Right there they transferred half the requested amount to me. *
Holy moly! This guys aren't joking around. I don't know shit! They clearly mistook me for a senior student whose first name is Feeno, to me that was a nick referred to me by my friends.

I'm in this one for sure and it's a do or die transaction cus I'm returning no fucking money. I told my friends what had happened and they insisted I return back the money to the students and admit I can't deliver the project they were requesting.
Fuck all of yah! I'm keeping this money. Same afternoon I visited the school library with the intension of writing the code using the help of YouTube tutorials. I didn't find anything useful for qbasic as I thought I could write a full fledged school management system using qbasic.

I was lucky enough to find an existing source code on Codeproject, God bless that Indian guy. The source was in PHP and the tutor gave a step by step guide to setup XAMP and MySQL. I really don't know PHP but I guess source code modification is a natural skill to all programmers as I was able to modify the code to meet the requirements of the students (i.e school name, logo and other minor changes).

Most of what I learnt in programming came from modifying the source of that project. I learnt how to connect a PHP source to a MySQL database, I learnt about functions and their usage, I learnt the basics of HTML, I really learnt a lot and I would say that the speed at which I learnt was proportional to the amount of pressure I received to deliver.

That was how my journey as a full stack developer started. By chance maybe.

Recently started using Arch after a year of distro hopping starting from Ubuntu, to Fedora, to Mint, to Opensuse. I have never been as satisfied with a distro as I have with Arch. I have learnt so much from just fiddling and reading through the archwiki.

Once you go Arch you don't go back.

Yes yes another arch Linux thing but holy shit, in just 2 days I've learnt so much!

First time adding a grub entry and it works straight out of the box :-D

The first time I learnt about regex and used it. It was magical.

Me: Bro look, I have learnt so many things from the past couple of days.
-Introduction
-Data Types
-Variables
-Arrays
-Operators
-Control Statements
-Classes
-Methods
-Inheritance
-Packages
-Interfaces
-Exception Handing
-Multi-threaded Programming
-Enumerations
-Autoboxing
-Annotations
-Generics

My senior: Congrats on finishing up the basics
Me: Those were just basics???...///!!! 😜

After lots of complaints I finally decided to attend my CS lecture.
Learnt something new today.

"Another way to open a folder is to select it, and then press Enter"

So, after months of work and many painful night, i finaly learnt java and published my first android app. Yay!

Simple but tasty dish.

It’s just scrambled eggs, Indian style.

Oh btw did I say? This is the first dish that I learnt and my favourite goto if I get stuck with golang And graphql.

Guys.

Please do try this combination.

Go + GraphQL + Neo4j

Interveiwer: Do you like what you've learnt so far from your course in uni?

Me: sorry, but no the things they taught us were horrible and outdated and I only think of it as a legal requirement.

I'm working for his company for a year and a half now!

Learnt the hard way

NEVER WRITE THE UI BEFORE WRITING THE BUSINESS LOGIC

When I saw you I was afraid to meet you. When I met you I was afraid to learn you. When I learnt you I was afraid to love you. Now that I love you, I am afraid to lose you....... CODE WITH ❤ IN <?php..........?>

I learnt to navigate in Vim 🤩.

Ik it's not much. But had heard so much about Vim and Emacs (tho still don't know why are they so popular, or how to use them), but I kept my distance after the first time I could not quit the application.

Just spent writing code for 5 hours for my clg presentation!!

Never have I learnt more in one night about what I like!!!

Good night. Devs....

I learnt my college junior some coding and development, and we became best friends.

Later I asked her out, and now we are not talking after that. 😅

One word; Procrastination. I've learnt how to do it and I've learnt how to do it well.

!rant
I just attended a meet up yesterday and I learnt a life lesson by the speaker: "Never share two things is life. Toothbrush and database" 😂

I hardly use Windows, but had to book tickets using my friend's laptop who only had Windows.
So I switch on my mobile data, and the stupid shit just ate up all my data in updating Windows without even asking for permission 😣
Learnt my lesson

For Fuck's sake never name your variables $a $b or $c. What the fuck I thought that's like the first thing they teach in whichever bush you learnt how to code at!!!!!!

Obviously this year. I went from KDE Neon (bloat ree) to Arch, learnt Git, Golang, vim, some JS, did my first major public project (asl), learnt how to package python stuff, did my first collab (private repo with a friend), did my first public collab (animator), made 225 contributions on GitHub (so far), won the "Most Technical" award in my Science Fair, went on climate protests, and sh*t-tons more.

And I joined devRant!

I'm excited for 2020!

So one day on tech huddle my tech lead got frustrated, don't know why and told me - "the tasks you're doing can be done by interns"

I felt bad. Ofcourse I was putting my 100%.

That day I decided to put the resignation. I didn't discussed with anyone about it and sent the resignation email directly.

After serving 2 months of notice period I was able to land a better job successfully!

I called the lead on the last working day in that company and shared him the news about my offer letter and a little about the company.
His first question was - "Did you cleared all the interview process?"
In my mind - "That's only why I'm sharing the news here with you man! Stop thinking of me as a noob."
I replied with - "yes, if needed/the new company try to get feedback about me then please be honest atleast there by keeping your ego aside."

You shouldn't pull someone's leg if you aren't able to climb higher!!

Lesson I learnt;
DON'T STAY AT A PLACE WHERE THERE'S NO VALUE OF YOUR WORK AND THE DEDICATION TOWARDS IT!

Working in a startup isn't that easy, mostly for those where there's no work life balance.

She : What is this crap you have opened ..umm... In Android Studio?

That was the day i learnt i need to write code in proper way. And i started improving it.

😂😂😂😂

I learnt it!

Whoever decodes it, is the cool guy on devRant

This should be illegal be now 😡

I learnt vue.js and thought it was awesome. I started reading react documentation today and now I realise vue.js is even more awesome than I first thought.

First rule that I learnt by being a DevOps intern - never deploy on a Friday.

Things I learnt by attending meetings from home:

* Wear pants even if no one can see them
* After meeting is done, turn off your computer to ensure it has ended.
* Mute and screen share is not reliable
* Tell your family members that you will have a meeting so they do not do anything weird.

More like a confession it is
I'm a newbie programmer
Just by scrolling the feed and reading the comments here i've learnt much more than i could from books
so turns out devRant is a great community!

Come on guys ... Everyone was young once we all thought java and JavaScript were basically the same thing! ...

Granted I was 7... when I learnt the truth....

As a programmer, I woudnt buy an expensive computer. Neither the cheapest, or faster.

That's because I have learnt something: The computer of a programmer must be RESISTANT :v

After watching Mr Robot, I installed Kali and learnt to hack WiFi passwords via brute force. Was utterly disappointed that, most crackers just use prebuilt tools instead of developing their own algorithms and programs.

*at work*

co-worker: what are u doing?

me: programming and learning

co-worker: but school has just started... u guys havent learnt anything yet

me: thats the great thing about programming, everything is already in the internet waiting to be read and learned. try it next time ;)

co-worker: learning out of school, no thanks

Had a customer call - the guy's name was "Kevin", which in Germany isn't even a name, but rather a diagnosis for stupidity. However, he was really competent and into the stuff. So what now, readjust my prejudice? Nah, he had an Asian family name, so I instead learnt that being of Asian ancestry trumps "Kevin" as given name.

I used to work with a guy that fell asleep at his desk. Apart from that he was a great guy. Learnt a lot from him (sadly not the sleeping at the desk part).

Truth to be told, I've learnt more programming here on DevRant in about a month than in one year of my computer science course in college.

Developers brains need sleep... Something I learnt the hard way today.

I still won't... 😳 , To much to do 😎

Casual chat with a girl in Facebook.
Me : Hey, What are u doing these days?
She : I'm completed a IT course.
Me : hmm... Interesting, What are the languages you have learnt at the IT course.
She : I learned English
Me : (Close the Chat,
Blocked her,
Shuts down the PC)

(Yes, Yes, This is a true story.)

Learnt typescript, didn't knew that it's Microsoft

Software engineers: "Maths is hard and scary!"

Also software engineers: "I've learnt to write a balanced binary search tree in c++ as interview prep!"

Mathematicians: "Have you guys heard of an AVL tree?"

The moment I learnt "print_r" and "die" in php my life become easier.

Lol I suck. Learnt coding without a degree in it, enough to be functional. Got an internship at a good place. Made code that worked but didn’t know enough on documenting and testing and can’t give enough time anymore on it to make it reproducible.Actually joined a CS program this fall!

Visual Basic at high-school, pascal and C and Java at University. VBA for macros on a job. html+css+js learnt o er a weekend to pass the screening for a new job, then ruby and php on that job to build internal tools. Now I am into python for data science. It has been fun.

My dad has had an android phone for about 3 years now. He just learnt that the big circle at the bottom takes you to the home screen. I love my dad.

I've learnt that you should always make descriptive comments in your code to explain it.

I always wanted to kill my professors, but now I admire them a lot. I learnt to "Fake knowledge" from them. I learnt to talk all the nonsense thing from them. These quality helps a lot after college.

postscript: 20-25% professors were good in my college day.

When using flex box, don't fucking use rows inside rows.
I learnt it the hard way.

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?

You're gonna use the 3D printer she said… You're gonna learn JavaScript she said… nope, all we learnt was three HTML tags that confused most people

Spent 2 years of my career learning/working on a peice of technology/framework without proper guidance. Turns out whatever I learnt about it till now is useless

**cries internally**

No matter how many stackOverflow threads you study or how many resources you have, experience is really what makes a very good developer

4 and a half years doing socket/network programming and I only just learnt my understanding of TCP was largely incorrect...

Well then... That's something...

After this pandemic I cannot return to open plan offices. I learnt so much about aerosols, breath, air circulation and germs... I cannot go back... just the thought of it... disgusting

Lesson Learnt..
Never make decisions when lacking sleep and caffeine as well. I nuked my HDD today morning around 3 am, I got another reason to do a fresh start btw.

A lesson to be learnt by every programmer!

Today I learnt you can ride cows like you can a horse

Just got rejected for an internship because of my architecture pattern. Learnt an entirely new framework and deployed an API in a week. Sigh

Edit:
Was at a college level. Not completed my bachelor's yet.

Open AI just released GPT5 and I have been using it for the past 3 weeks. It has entirely changed everything you know about AI and LLMs. Here are 69 mind blowing things I have learnt so far.

That awkward moment when u look svn history to find out which idiot wrote this stupid code and u leant it was you yourself. You feel so glad you didn't go all gun blazing criticising the guy to your colleagues before ur investigation.
Lesson learnt for future ha ha ha

I didn’t really choose, I just happened to learn C# as one of the 3 first languages I learnt back then. It landed me multiple jobs and that’s about it really 🤷‍♂️

Haha, today I learnt that agile doesn't just stop in the enterprise with SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), management has continued the theme in my new company with Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) and Agile Release Trains (ARTs).

Software development in 2021...

That moment when u r finished with learning a new language but suddenly realize that u have forgotten how to use the previously learnt language .... Just wonder if it was possible to have just 1 coding language with all the pros and no cons ...

Im a network engineer just started to learn programing the past few weeks. I learnt more regarding programing from devRant than any ebooks.

I've just learnt more in a 5 minute laracasts video than half a days training on pluralsight

Learning C has taught me one thing; I hate C.

Actually I think the only language I've learnt that didn't make me angry doing so was python, and that was because I was 14 a didn't think I was hot shit at programming yet...

The feeling when you've been working on a project for eight months on your own, learnt a new way to do something but now the project is too big to fix... 😞

"First of all, Pascal is the best. Everything you learnt beside Pascal, dump it" - Wise words from ComSci teacher

Ok. I'm good.

Best: learnt how to deploy Wildfly application server from scratch on a live environment without messing up.

Worst: could not continue working because my internship was over.

!rant
>tfw learnt css when flexboxes exist.
Never struggled with vertical alignment.

Project 1 : learnt e-commerce , demandware, sfcc
Project 2 : learnt reactjs

Why would someone remove a perfectly working GUI interface with a cmd interface?. Just learnt that android SDK manager and AVD manager have been replaced by their cmd versions.

Coding has impacted my life as a way to quiet and focus my mind.

(Also, as another positive side effect I learnt a great deal about frustration and anger management along the way. :D)

I'm an intern that is almost never going in class, because I've nothing to learn from this school, learnt today I've a java jee project to do for next week, i actually know nothing about it .

My group to do it ? Me, and a « I'm a manager i do not code »

My friend learnt how to use CircleCI for his laravel projects and he hasn't given me a breathing space since, he's constantly saying "I'm now a DevOps engineer".

I told him "You're only only a BugOps engineer". 😂😂

*Finished the deploy*
*Dusts collar*
"Easy pesy"
Few hours later
*slack tone*
Production inaccessible! Blackbox crawler failed with message 5xx.
And that was the day little Charlie learnt dev-ops is not fun and thrilling.

Something I learnt over the years is that it doesn't matter how fast your PC or Server is, people will produce a piece of software that will be capable of running slow on it.

After over two days of debugging, lesson learnt don't assume your table's prefix nor depend on other APIs for SQL injections

PreMature optimization is the root of all evil

First job. Started 2 weeks ago, I'm doing an internship in a Web development company and even though my studies were mainly for Java and Android, it's going fine.
Past week I learnt to use .less and HTML5 and will start with Javascript now.

Lesson learnt. Never use vanilla bootstrap with react js

Being treated as some kind of alien, when in fact it's something that can be learnt just as easily as anything else.

Finally learnt how to use MSBuild.

I should have done this much, much sooner...

The best code review experience I had is when I started with my first job I used to write 10 lines of code and used to get 20 comments on that, well i learnt a lot from him and now whenever i get review comments on my PR i actually feel good.

Side projects teach you more than anything, I learnt all the new android technologies by working on my side projects

Learnt a very important lesson today..

To add some context; I'm currently in my second semester of uni studying a Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced), and started the year with no experience with any language.

Up until recently all my practical work has been guided by context sheets, now I have some freedom in what my program does.

Because of the very small projects earlier in the year I have built a habit of writing the whole program before compiling anything. This worked fine since the programs were small and at most only a few errors would be present.

Cut back to today, and I had been writing a program for a bigger assignment. After an hour or so of writing I began thinking I should probably test everything up to this point. I ignored it...

Fast forward 4 hours to having "completed" writing the full program. I knew by this point I was taking a massive risk by not testing earlier.

Lo and behold, I try compiling everything for the first time and countless errors prevent the program from compiling. I tried for quite some time fixing the errors but more just kept appearing as 1 was fixed.

I'm now left with no time to fix the program before the deadline with no one but myself to blame.

Lesson learnt :/

Today I learnt that I'm much more productive if I get a constant loop of feedback on my tickets and stuff. Feels better that way.

Edit: I'm working with a new coworker from QA and she's more responsive than the others. I get my feedback fast and timely and this makes it way easier to work

Te first time I walked into a computer science class, I thought of myself as someone big, until i learnt that being a developer is not made at school, its made by yourself.

Hate my fucking ‘Logic’ class. Teaching us if, or, and, etc statements and when something is true or false so far. Fair enough, part of logic. But fucking 6 classes on the same topic, isn’t helpful. Especially since it feels like the same shit I learnt myself when I was 13 and a junior in High School.

People are all surprised at it, even the Computer Science majors. This shouldn’t be a shock to you on how these statements work if you’ve coded for a few minutes in the University. You should’ve learnt it in your first programming class.

Ugh, just how I feel about this class. Have to take it to get my degree, otherwise I would’ve dropped it by now >.> Waste of time and money for me.

Was thinking of writing a blog about my recent experiences with C and Linux . Although the concepts i learnt are not so great , i searched a lot for some . Thought i would help my juniors by giving them an additional battery for their flashlight incase they get lost in the woods .

But eversince i thought of that , i am unsure where to start and how to proceed with those things i learnt . And also unsure about whether it will be useful or will it be just another piece in the internet..

Any thoughts ?

Was working on a game and I hated having to hardcode stuff I wanted to add so I started splitting it into external json files but by the end (and to an extent still learning it) learnt how to do mod support and simple user generated content, really cool stuff to learn about.

Year 7 maths in 1984 - the teacher had a computer and showed us some BASIC commands to do mathematics.

I was spellbound. That year my father also bought a Commodore 64 for the family and I gravitated towards it. I typed program listings out of magazines and learnt programming almost by osmosis.

I got into programming because I couldn't solve a maths problem I'd been set, so my dad found an emulator for an old language he used to use a bit and managed to brute force it.

From there I went and learnt my first programming language, an unconventional choice of BBC basic 😛

Lesson learnt.
Never argue about any type of OS (Desktop or Mobile) when sitting between Devs. Be it about features or development.

Lets share the best thing we've ever learnt (strictly related to dev)...
I'll start -> Best thing I've learnet is lambda programming. (Java)

My first job was adding features to a django app and deploying to Heroku. Learnt a lot from that startup in my home town Kakinada.

Why does my brain just struggle so much with Rust.

So much of the design fundamentals I've learnt over the last 10 years from doing OO in memory managed languages don't carry over very well into Rust, and my brain is sucking at coming up with alternatives, or finds the alternatives I do make ugly.

Frustration is real.

2 things learnt today:
1. Gradle sucks. There's no saving it.
2. leningen is fucking amazing.

Today marked my first year of full time development work. I am really grateful to my workplace for giving me this opportunity instead of wasting away in education for 4+ more years. I've learnt so much already and can't wait for more 😁

What I learnt after 3 hrs of debugging for a stupid issue today ?

Lesson 1 - Getting some unknown error even though your code ks right and no error in logs ? Check you SQL version and its rules.

Lesson 2 - phpmyadmin is fuckin shit ass software

Lesson 3- I need to learn JavaScript for backend ASAP

Had an AI course in my 3rd year at uni.

Well turns out, we learnt how to reproduce a switch case in prolog.

Hated it. Felt raped by stupidity. Missed 3/4 of classes but was still better than most at reproducing switch lol.

Forgot to bring me laptop to college, so had to use the age old Turbo C complier on college PC. So had to do some power calculation.. used the pow() function, forgot to include math.h...
And bamm!!! It compiled and I had no idea why the pow function isn't giving the correct value!!

Lesson learnt: never trust anything!!

!rant
I just learnt that HTML + CSS3 with user interaction is Turing-complete. How cool is that shit!?
The possibilities are endless. Server-side HTML/CSS. Skynet in HTML/CSS. An OS in HTML/CSS.

Learnt HTML,CSS,php,JavaScript,jquery,AWS, laravel and vue.js in one year...

Is that an overload?

!dev

Today I learnt something, I wish I learnt this earlier (I'm 25 now , it is late?).

What I learnt:

1. Never out -shined your superior, as it naturally stir up all sorts of resentments , envy, insecurities and possibilities of getting you replace by someone level intelligent. Because superior feel threatened.

2. Never try to fake what you don't know, and real to what you know. (As I saw someone faking themselves as someone who they are not, they eventually manifested tonnes of shit to themselves.)

So is what I learnt is actually make sense and valid? or just an opinion?

I did it! I learnt vim!

...

Oh wait, how do you exit again?

This is how it feels with me and vim, every time I think I know it, it turns out there's a whole batch of shortcuts I had no idea existed :"(

What was the first programming/scripting language you learnt? 🤔

Just learnt that Stack Exchange servers are using Windows servers with IIS. Codebase written in C# (probably ASP .NET). Not sure how I feel about this.

question:I just learnt c++ programming language and i really cant find a use of this language except iot and really simple programs,how can i make gui programs, or should i learn more languages??

If you ever get a chance to refactor a 5/6 years old code , just do it .
Dont loose hope , you'll eventually have a great time .

Its totally worth the effort and time . I learnt so many things. (still in the proccess)

I learnt to use Android Studio in college but my company is using Eclipse for android. T.T

Did two bachelors (network/system then dev).
Useful ?
Well I learnt some basics during the first year; but then being curious and searching things by myself made them completely useless.
Almost every interview I did were successful and didn't asked for my degrees but what I was actually able to do, code and understand.

To the one who did a degree:
How mush do you use the algorithms you've learnt in the college/University?

I just learnt how to use the Linux shell in university.
I could’ve slept two more hours instead.

So I just spent 3 days trying to write a custom WordPress query with WP_Query and limit the result set with tax_query. I wrote my own code, copied and pasted code from the docs and watched a couple of tutorials, no matter what I did my results just weren't right. Turns out I was calling my code too early so my tax_query was being ignored.

Time wasted or lesson learnt?
.... I'll take lesson learnt. Oh well.

Learn the hard way:
Episode 1:
Struggled 4 hours building my package. Some dependent package was failing build. Tried everything and atlast, contacted that package developer. He checked and said: "It seems it's broken. You can use v1.1 instead."
Lesson learnt: Sometimes, it's better to ask instead of banging your head and debugging things out.

I'm currently in France and after watching my first YouTube video here, I learnt to import lessons: 1. You can't escape from the udemy ads 2. The French seem to pronounce python (as in the language, obviously) like a French word...

Learnt C++ from Bucky, New Boston as my first.

Then went crazy afterwards on YouTube blog posts and Books

what do you recommend for me to learn about next?
I have learnt about:
- web frontend/backend (php)
- android and java
- c, c++, nasm, gnu assembler
- parallel computing
- cli operating systems

with that background, what would you recommend?
I'm considering:
- neural networks
- making a server
- ethical hacking
- starting a blog

Today I've learnt two languages. I'm exploding, too many words 🤯

Life(naive_person) {
While(lesson not learnt) {
Change characters;
Repeat story;
}
Return dead_person;
}

I've been using webpack for a few months now but always using someone else's config. Today was the first project where I started from scratch with my own webpack config. Learnt a lot and it actually worked!

Debugging lesson learnt

The place where you think you can't make a mistake is the place you make a mistake.

Tried to install WAMP manually to learn PHP. It almost put me off development altogether, but great when it worked and I learnt a lot doing it. The next time I used Xampp before moving on to vagrant & VMs.

Sometimes setting up the Dev environment is the hardest part of learning. But better to learn in dev than production!

Stick to one project about which you want to learn but don't know how to do it,complete it...and now you have learnt something new

Just a quick Tip for our jQuery Users: There is a difference between $(document).ready() and $(document).on("ready")! I learnt it the hard way :)

I'm having a hard time remembering everything that I have learnt, so I decided to build an app where I can store whatever I learnt and search for them later easily. That's before I realized the app that I halfway built has a name; it's called "Personal Knowledge Manager", and there are already tons of apps like that, one of them is "exactly" how I imagined my app would be if I finish building it.
What a mess.

it's fuckin nuts sometimes to say some random shit to a regular person and realize that "oh shit, I'm a specialist at this right". some things seem so banal, i forget how much I've learnt these past 10 years

Interns have degree's in 'Computer Science'.
I do not, Just a microsoft crash course on C# and SQL.
They are 3 - 4 years older than i am, yet they don't know how to use CSS.
I wonder what they learnt in that 4 years?

I wouldn't call any rejection worst.
I learnt new things everytime I had interview actually they came to me like steps of learning and when I get to know enough I got my first job :)

Today I learnt by hard, that even best management don't want to hear how bad things are.

You're supposed to shut up, and make things shine.

You can't fix few years of sh*t in 3 months? You can't work with people who don't understand basics? You can't fake results to show to the management?

Too bad...

Landed my first job as a Frontend Developer after interning for 6 months.

While I already have learnt a lot about work culture, I would love to hear any tips, advices or things to know about.

Hi DevRant ! So me and my friend want to make an app. Just to see how it's done. We're both are okay with C, just learnt Java and we're looking for advices.
Do's and don't, how to get started, good habits to pick up, anything would be appreciated !

So I have been using REST APIs since last 4 years and used this term in lot of technical discussions with backend teams.
Learnt that it's full form is 'REpresentational State Transfer' just a few minutes ago 🙈

Always interested in computers, started taking stuff apart, eventually found Linux, fell in love with that a bit and through command line learnt more.
Now finished a comp sci MSc and about to start a job. All I in know is there is a huge amount more to learn before I feel competent and confident. Excited about that though.

Learnt Python Fundamentals while taking a dump...

It might have been due to being in a vulnerable state during that time but I am kind of enjoying the simpletons' language..

Must go to a Doctor for a brain examination... 🤨

I should be concerned

in class.
professor: "this course is much about learning to read documentation and searching the Internet for solutions. "
me at exam: *writing part of code I learnt from stackoverflow*
...professor failed me at the exam for not using what they taught us during the course.. 😕

Since the end of my extended internship is slowly coming forth, I thought I'd (happily) ramble in the Random section for a bit:
*TL,DR: Internship went well, I learnt a lot*

The company I worked at made my experience with Frontend make huge leaps. I used both Vue and React, neither of which I had used before. I also learnt that you could mock things in unit tests instead of simulating full use. Finally, I also improved my experience with Kotlin again.
Both teams I have been in (since there was a switch due to a lot of people taking off days for holidays) told me that I am quite fast at grasping concepts I hadn't even heard of before, which is quite nice :)

Anyway, I wonder what the transition to school is going to be like.

I wanted to create a software to calculate some electricity related formulas ... So I learnt C++, best decision ever.

I learnt Swift in 2016. 2017 has to be the year I turn Swift pro.
Happy new year to all and may your code come to life and thrive.

About two weeks ago, at my workplace, I learnt about Django deployment in Nginx server with Docker and Kubernetes on Google Cloud Console.

Lesson Learnt: never quote a job without inspecting every single file with every single details -_-

[clarification in comments]

Completing my first truly collaborative project. Was with one of my friends, learnt a whole lot about git.

I learnt what a "grave", a "pipe" and (embarrassingly) a "period" is on a keyboard.

Oh gosh! I learnt how to code...

+Codechef says still says it's wrong answer

Just learnt Vue js. Now I need to learn a backend framework. Django or Node js? Which one should I learn?

what is most valuable thing you have learnt on any social networking site?

It's how I learnt Angular :)

I was making games for fun in C++, learnt from random internet sites, then my other half said something like "you could probably make some money doing that".

I did.

I finally learnt how to use Xcode storyboards and constraints properly. They’re pretty awesome and no longer annoying.

When you wanna be a Data Scientist and always land into internships where you are assigned with web development...
Learnt Node, Flask, Spring frameworks across different internshis...

I think I've learnt something worthwhile from nearly every project I've been involved with. If I had to pick one however:

Started an open source project designed for projecting multimedia content during church services as procrastination from final year undergrad revision.

Fast forward nearly a decade, and I've learnt tremendous amounts as a result of starting it - dealing with everything from GStreamer on a native C layer, right through to WebRTC stuff (STUN, TURN, ICE, etc.) at the other end. What started as some odd attempts to show text and images on a screen in a user friendly fashion has grown tremendously, and is now used all over the world.

My web dev teacher was drunk almost every lesson, and my C++ teachers don't care about visiting our high school)) All we know is learnt by ourselves
Other teacher hates when we type
void smth(){
}
Instead of
void smth()
{
}
And wants to overwrite the code to fix these style errors))

I am mostly self-taught. If I am (really) interested in doing something new, or if I feel there is a need of doing something, I just do it. Simple.
Learnt a great deal by looking at others' codes (like how things are done, conventions etc), tinkering with the IDE, working on personal projects etc.

Help needed!
I have learnt the basics of programming languages such as C and Python but have not learnt Algorithm and Data Structures in any exclusive way. Although we were taught little about algorithms in the class. So is it a good idea to learn these topics now from any online courses or MOOCs?

Learnt Something new today.

'The fear of losing something motivates people more than the prospect of gaining something of equal value.'

how can I start freelancing?
i learnt js CSS and HTML and aspiring for node js.but would like start freelancing sideways. any rants ?

Hey I've learnt something funny.
If I listen to music in a language I understand (spanish/english/ very little japanese), I get instantaneously distracted expecting lyrics to make sense.
My solution: listen to something I can't uderstand shit, i.e. K-Pop
Kinda funny and doesn't distracted that much haha

A tale of wireless cracking:

Have learnt brute force method. Evil twin method: check. WPS hack: Done.

What worked?
nameOfThePlace@123

smh

Just learnt that some people in the access admin team intentionally back log their tickets just to tell people how busy they are.

But most request you raise in their queue doesn't get resolved unless you show up at their desks.

!rant: I am pretty fresh to this game so I couldn't say what my biggest hurdle has been because there hasn't really been one yet. So, in an attempt to beat the curve and perhaps learn something...

What is the most important thing you have learnt from the biggest hurdle in your dev career?

When you work on something for few hours and then write a script to recursively replace strings in your project but forget to take into account the git index and end up corrupting it 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I know I should have pushed commits in between. Lesson learnt
