Stats says when I was typing this meme, two new js libraries were released

Sister: today I discovered two new libraries
Me: what lang?
She: what?

She was talking about real libraries xD

At university we had lessons in C++.
First lesson: Make a calculator
Second lesson: Make an application that uses sockets to connect to an FTP-server and downloads a file. No FTP-libraries allowed.

"Should I use Mithril or Durandal?"

"I'm sorry, I don't play Dungeons & Dragons.."

"They're Js libraries.."

Fuck sake, because we needed more reasons for people to think we're nerdy virgins.

Dear javascript frameworks / libraries,

slow. the. fuck. down.

Thank you 🙃

Making libraries work together. Gluing things together is easy, right?

Costumer: I found a 40 line python script on Stackoverflow to do that.

Dev team: ok, now... how many lines you think we will need to put the python interpreter, libraries and your 40 line script inside an Android and iOS apps with legacy code?

A client asked me to do a website completely vanilla instead of using frameworks and libraries. Then asked why the quote is so much more. Is this a good analogy?

Using frameworks and libraries is like you going to the grocery store to buy eggs.

Making a website from scratch is like going into the wild to capture hens, building an enclosure, and caring for the hens at least until they lay eggs.

Which train to board? :)

Standard libraries

I think this is appropriate for this week's topic.

Tried to install an existing web dev project in Windows 10:
- Install Atom IDE and trying to clone git repo
- Git missing, installing Git for Windows
- Installing Node (so far so good!)
- npm install
- Python missing (???), installing Python
- Ruby (????????) missing, installing Ruby
- .NET Libraries missing, installing .NET 4.0 for the 100th time
- Visual Studio Libraries for C++ 2008 missing (now you're just messing with me mate), installing 4GB of Visual Studio Libraries
- [drumroll sound]
- .....
- npm install breaks with fatal error
- Git for Windows can't be found anymore

Switched to Ubuntu out of frustration:
- Installing Atom IDE
- Installing NodeJS
- Cloning git repo
- npm install
- project is running

whut?

SPOTTED: A place to store all your JavaScript Libraries

Our project is a legacy of all legacy projects. The developers imported the third-party libraries by copy-pasting the whole source codes into the project. Ohhhh yeahhh!!!

My Neural Network can recognise handwritten digits!!!

It's my second try at NN so it's faaaar from perfect (or maybe even good), but hey, it's something and only with High schools, I'm pretty satisfied with the results. If you've not seen my previous post, I'm just trying to learn NNs in C and am doing just really basic things.
Still I'm proud of my progress!

Now I'm looking forward learning some library (OpenNN + OpenCV seems cool) and trying more advanced stuff, wish me luck 😆

So I'm learning 2D game dev in java.
(I know)

Being stubborn I'm coding everything myself because, you know who needs libraries.😅

And

Holy toenails ,I have mad respect for the guys who build game engines. Especially 3d engines.

Y'all are beasts.

*sees new trendy language*

- language is as fast as c
- cross platform
- extensive libraries, tools and tutorials
- easy to learn
- conceptually well thought-out

*doesn't like syntax*

oh well...

Why not have a custom (500 line) JSON mapper... you know... fuck those auto mapping libraries out there...

The code you write is your child.
When it misbehaves(bugs) you disciplines(fixes) it.
You are ecstatic when it achieve something(into production).
You want them to be at par with the world(adapting to new libraries).

So, to all the developers out there happy father's day.

Just landed a new job as a developer for a company called NeuraLegion! They use Crystal on their stack, so guess what language I'll be using! But that's not even the best part. They hired me in part because they are using one of my open source Crystal libraries (a NLP library called Cadmium) and like the way I do things. So I am going to be getting paid to work on my FOSS libraries, whist sitting at home in my undies!

Holy shit I'm excited 😂😁

While you're reading this,81739292749201738382 JavaScript frameworks and libraries were written!

A coworker blamed me that our git server is rejecting his changes. Turns out his commits are 200MB large each, including binaries of all newly added libraries. And I was all like:

I JUST FINISHED MY FIRST NEURAL NETWORK!!!

But first of all, as I know you guys, it's spaghetti code and even I as a newb see places where I used too few-dimensional array or passed useless parameters or simply wrote too many redundant lines of code. I know it. I will make it MUCH better next time. Period.

But OMFG this made me scream from happiness today!! Just these few seemingly random numbers... I'm really done.. That's why I jumped into coding year or two ago..

And for some background, I didn't study any IT school, I'm just highschooler (general grammar school) who traded gaming for learning. Also my maths teacher teached NNs on university and is very keen to teach me, so that's that.

Now I wanna make the best out of it and I'm looking forward to write some well documented and flexible library, parallelized and everything (I'm gonna learn a lot in the process of doing this) better then FANN.

Maybe I'm gonna fail(99% probability but hey, I'm programmer beginner, I still think I can code everything I want). But if there is just one moment like when I saw this screen today, I'mma trade my life for it.

Sorry for taking your time guys, I was just genuinely stunned... A lot

Don’t use frameworks or libraries, just build the same code over and over on every project. 😒

Why is Java so comfy?

I don't know why, but every time I try to use Javascript and Python I feel lost in those functional gimmicks and fancy libraries.

Java feels like the warm, soft old couch at home.

We lost a frontend developer who used dozens of hipster libraries without any communications with other devs and replaced him with this one that has just pushed all the node_modules to master branch with all of her local config files. God. Fucking. Dammit.

...adds 1 MB of libraries

If I changed girlfriends as often as I changed JavaScript libraries, I'd still be looking for a girlfriend.

Cuz I try and avoid using JavaScript.

While I was on vacation, someone added jQuery as a dependency to our angular 5 project because all his favorite libraries depend on it.

Came across a nice comparison today:

GoT: Countless characters and competing factions fighting for influence.

JavaScript: Countless libraries and competing standards fighting for influence.

So tired of people hating on tools, frameworks, languages, libraries without investing the time to fully understand the offering.

Just because you don’t understand it, does not mean it’s shitty.

Prof: So yeah this is going to be difficult. We're going to make the scalable math library. Then we have to make a functional finite elements library using that. Then make a multiphysics engine using that library. This could easily take your entire PhD. Are you prepared for that?

Me: May I show you something?

Prof: Sure, sure.

Me, showing him: We can use moose to code in the multiphysics. It's built atop libmesh for the finite elements. Which can be built with a petsc backend. Which we can run on GPUs and CPUs, up to 200k cores. All of this has been done for us. This project will, at worst, take a couple months.

Prof: ...

Guys, libraries. Fucking. Libraries. Holy fucking shit.

I really fucking hate CSS. I have no idea how to use it and all my websites look like complete shit. I’m cool with JavaScript and some of its libraries and frameworks, but css is a bitch.

I’ve begun to notice a distinct pattern with devs. I realise it has probably always been there but Im just thinking out loud as Ive started to actively notice it.

*Dev has literally one problem with a library/framework/environment*

“Holy crap <NAME> is the worst thing ever!! its actually worse than an STD. whoever made it needs to quit making software and become a goat farmer” (paraphrasing of course)

What is it with us that the second we have difficulty with a library or framework we immediately brand it as a cancerous polyp on the anus of humanity?

Porting of a huge web application from ZF1 to Laravel 5.5.

In summary:
1. approx. 200,000 lines of spaghetti code (ZF1)
2. approx. 2500 custom Javascript files
3. approx. 600 CSS files
4. hundreds of node modules and libraries
5. 12 different layouts (Home, Member, Admin,...)
6. ...
7. ...
8. ...

I've got six days to get this done. God help me.

If I change girlfriends as much I change javascript libraries, I would be Casanova.

I spent the last 2 days resolving over 2k dependency errors in a jee software what used java1.4 libraries

:) i love this profession

I don't like interview questions that ask about which libraries you use or what libraries you like. I think these questions are stupid. I'm not supposed to like a library. I'm supposed to use the most suitable tool for the project at hand.

After 1h of work, research, one ugly hack and 2 unexplained laptop power outages i made it. I shrunk down my docker container from 800MB to astonishingly small... 500MB...

In my defense: the python libraries take up 300MB of space.

Python 2. Python is an awesome language, but Python 2. No. I want to die.
It's deprecated as of 2018, so get your shit together and update your fucking libraries, community!

I'm done with laptop stickers. After about a year, half of the libraries I have stickers for have updated their logos.

AlphaHooks is an Integrated Library Environment used to hook between multiple libraries written in different programming languages.

I got devRant working in python using only the standard libraries

But tkinter is an awful, hellish library that only supports gifs. But at least it runs native on raspberry pi

I don't hate Java, seriously.

I just prefer spending my first hours with a language actually programming in it rather than fixing shitty uninformative errors and learning libraries that follow no standards.

Pour your salt below.

When you find perfect app but on android 5 its crashes sometimes so need to compile it with new libraries yeah ok but the fucking android delete some functions and now its not working and i need to fix it but then i will have Windows 2000 on phone

I just realized.. The way I play Sudoku (I use autofill) ~= why I program and write utility libraries

Skip the boring stuff and get to the actual problem

Why is it that everytime, as a back-end developer, I want to dive into a simple front-end topic or technique which can perfectly be done in plain JavaScript, I need 27 different libraries and packages according to nearly all tutorials..

It really crushes my motivation and is just ridiculous.

This opening paragraph; "JS and Libraries". You know, Libraries.

A word of advice to framework authors:
If I am currently using v2.5.5 of a library, and I update to 2.8.6, I would expect to maybe have to update a few deprecated method calls here and there.
I do not expect the entire API to be completely different, with half the classes totally renamed and restructured. Breaking changes should go into a new major version plz

What do you guys think of differentiating the libraries like this??

Dear people who create frameworks and libraries,

Please don't advertise your stuff as 'super easy to use', 'incredibly lightweight', 'no configuration needed', 'seamless integration' and shit like this. We all know it's a big fat fucking lie. Just be honest and write 'it supposed to be all-purpose but won't solve your problem', 'a huge fucking chaotic mess', 'slow as shit', 'will eat up all your resources', 'might be good but we've lost the documentation' or 'actually worse than vanilla'. If you'd do this, the world would be a better place.

Thanks,

Android docs suck so hard 😇

Google sucks so hard at making APIs 😄

Wraps everything in libraries, whose only purpose is to hide their incompetence 😛

!rant
I have come to realize, after a long time in programming and using libraries, that spending time to read their documentation saves me time in the long run

Tech lead of this new job tells the development team that he wants us to develop open-source frameworks on company time and named after our company like com.acme.library; like how Facebook has React and AirBnb has Epoxy. We will get credit for it, and it will be a good addition to our portfolio he says.

I think I landed a truly fabulous job.

PM emails me a zip file with the message "Can you give the attached a look and get it to work. See email below that there are some items missing to make it run."

Items missing : 3 custom libraries, 2 sql databases, 3 custom sql tables, and oh yeah the license to the program it runs on.

Boss: What's wrong?
Me: I'm stuck, none of the libraries I'm using will work with our system.
Boss: let me get back to you...
5 minutes later

Boss: I found these libraries on Google to try.
Me: Stop.

How the actual fuck are we expected to know this many languages / frameworks / libraries for a web dev interview? This shit is RIDICULOUS. No one can honestly say they're half proficient at any of this stuff if they have to know ALL of it. Is this the only way to get a job these days? This sucks balls! 

Found an old laptop in the apartment I was staying in and wrote a shitty incremental game in HTML and JavaScript with no libraries because there was no interwebs. At least alcohol is mega cheap in eastern Europe.

Know a guy who instead of using maven, he downloads the compiled libraries and puts them in lib. Where does he find them? MvnRepository.

Using C libs in C++ is a mess full of compiler warnings.

Fuck android studio updates, fuck OpenGL libraries, fuck nvidia graphics on Linux, fuck it all to hell.

These bullshit updates keep breaking stuff in apps, and then the emulator itself gets broken somehow, then I need to run a bullshit shell script I found on some esoteric Arch Linux forum to symlink OpenGL .so libraries on my Linux machine every time I update because fucking OpenGL and nvidia crappy drivers on Linux, which also broke my xrandr configs and segfaulted the xfce4-display app.

Seriously that's horseshit. Linux will never ever ever break through the glass ceiling and become idiot-proof non-tech user friendly like the botnets Winblows and macPrison.

Software Engineering in future is just "Framework of frameworks" or one could say.. "Library of Libraries"...

some best python libraries for audio manipulating.

Someone surely doesn't like eclipse for android development.😂😂😂

libFRC - A collection of libraries and tools for FIRST robotics teams

The front-end web technologies are so confusing to me.

Learning PHP for me was so easy and fun. The frameworks and libraries are so simple to understand. I mean you can do most things with something like Slim and not much else.

But JS HOLY FUCK, with the gazillions of toolchains, libraries, frameworks, modules, module managers, task managers. REALLY? IS THIS ALL REALLY NECESSARY? TO PROGRAM UIs?
My brain can't handle all this. Dealing with all this shit is harder than proper coding. I'll stick with vanilla JS so I don't get a brain aneurysm.

Intelligent triggers for real-time systems. Think, controlling drones using a portable brain scanner(EEG) and think using any language to interface with those libraries. The scientific applications are endless here.

I hate fucking people that commit into repository all libraries and modules under node_modules or vendor/gems making impossible to search examples on github.

These fast-evolving JavaScript libraries are really testing my passion.

Is anyone here familiar with generating PNG files from MBTiles files?

I've tried multiple libraries but keep ending up with black, non readable, PNG files which is starting to get really fucking annoying.

(Platform is Linux, obviously)

Scala: 100% compatibility with java libraries

Gson: hold my beer

A couple of days ago I got sent this Node.js project that hasn't been touched in a year, to see what's missing compared to the requirements and estimate the dev costs.

-> Cloned the project
-> Checked the dependencies
-> Saw a library who's github was archived 2 years ago, and the latest version is a completely redesigned fork
-> Closed the laptop
-> Cried out loud "HOHOHO Hell NO"

Guess I'll see you in 2019, you huge pile of work, you...

It's not always your fault, sometimes your code will be perfectly fine and shit still won't work because someone else fucked up. Be careful which libraries you choose to work with.

Spent 3 hours today digging through 3rd party libraries, trying to get them all to work together nicely.

The solution? A one line fix in my own source.

FACEPALM!!!

I could mention so many libraries and frameworks but im gonna go with arduino.

Merry 2018 in advance.

If it aint a secret, comment w/ your new years resolution so other lazy fucks can get motivated.

Mine: a 3d game (godot), releasing my data science java libraries, building some kind of robot

I want a font-awesome icon for devRant. Would be nice for mine and others' sites. Any designers around to submit as a suggestion for next version (or for other icon libraries)?

Google keeps deprecating stuff way too quickly 👺

Get some stability.... There are like 4 or 5 libraries for just google sign in right now...
All of them are official 😵

Fuck you JavaScript with your blocks within blocks within blocks, your promises and callbacks, your million of libraries that are doublons or not finished. Fuck you with your assigning variable before functions, fuck you!

When people talk about how homemade cranberry sauce is better, I compare them to people who refuse to use libraries.

FUCCCCKCKCKKC FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKING CUNTFUCK BULLSHTI FUCKK!
I SWEAR TO GOD LINKING LIBRARIES IN C++ IS THE WORST FUCKIGN THING ON THE ENTIRE FUCKIGN PLANET.

Imagine the horror of learning C programming with manual memory management, pointer arithmetic and without your cool utility libraries after programming for 2 years in Python just becoz it's in the fukin syllabus!!

Building a website using Wordpress and Visual Composer for a client is pretty easy, right?!

Until the clients wants to change one of the icons to sofa “you can’t use image, and visual composer has a list of only 5 icon libraries and none of them has a fucking sofa icon”.

Manager says just do it today!
Ok no problem.. just had to figure how visual composer communicate with the libraries to show them in the module area, edit the function, create the font/svg files for the new icon, edit the css file of one of the libraries to add the icon. And boom its working fine!

No tutorial about this stuff so had to figure it out by reading the code and see how they did it so I can do it.

After finishing this, they just gave me few more changes as I have done nothing.

Thank you

As a developer it is so hard to keep up with all of the emerging technologies, especially all the freaking Javascript frameworks and fad libraries. As if that wasn't enough, they have to give these things weird ass names. Ffs.

Why some libraries written in C++ does not offer an api in C++ but they offered it in Python and others "fast developing" languages? I start hating python..

So....
I was just told why the company's code has no documentation...

Quote: "It enforces devs to write simpler/better code"

Oh and added bonus - the whole backend is PHP with a bunch of tweaked libraries.

I think the ship has sailed on starting learning JavaScript. There are just so many frameworks/tools/preprocessors/libraries. I wouldn't know where to start and it'll be years before I'll be better than mediocre.

Discussion Thread.

With all the frameworks and libraries available and game engines to develop games, its now easier than ever to build stuff.

With this in mind, do you think its necessary to have a core knowledge of how stuff work under the hood? Or is it okay to build upon and develop new stuffs on the foundations available today?

Does anyone of you know a good website where I can learn about open-source licenses?
I've written a small terminal-based passwords-manager in Go want to open-source it and some of the libraries I've written for it.

Going on a road trip and brought my laptop with me, I’m gonna take a small break from my project and test some stuff and learn some libraries, also gonna sit outside and just enjoy everything.

Every FUCKING time iOS releases a version update, I have to update my Xcode, my code to the latest swift, my third party libraries..
Do you feel my pain , Apple?

Soo... What's with the HTTP:GET payload? Rfc allows it but libraries implemebting it - don't. Anyone knows why are libs not following specs?

How I feel when I finally manage to make "Hei guyz" show up on the front page with React, after 5 months not touching any JS libraries.

*/**

Seriously though, I love working in libraries, by the river, and I love rain (I am extremely productive in the rain)

Started doing Java because i thought it had much better libraries than C++ .Now after doing it , still not able to decide whether to stick with Fucking Java or with that Fucking C++ LOL.

Putting every file, even SHADER CACHES (that huge cyan flower here (this illustration was made with "gource"), yes, every of those tiny little dots is a file) or even complete libraries into their git repository.

That moment a non dev friend wants to get into web dev and ask you want he needs, you give him a list with 5 languages, 20 libraries/frameworks to use, 8 tools, 25 devices to use to test and a letter saying "Good luck learning all of that"

Currently working on thesis:
Me:(Using iText to convert PDF Files to String)
Groupmate: I think the conversion makes our program slower.
M: Fine, I'll search for other libraries

M:(Finds Apache PDF Box and another open source PDF Util)

M:(Tests using nanotime then converted to seconds)

PDFBox: 24.3464 seconds
PDFUtil : 20.8365 seconds

iText : 7.937 seconds

:///////

You fucking piece of shit, how do I get you to work, I literally installed all libraries, 7-zip, everything, fucking work already

That moment of panic when you think you have done nothing all day before you remember that you integrated 2 libraries AND contributed back with a PR of feature enhancements. Today was a good day!

For everyone, who uses any IntelliJ based IDE: Ctrl + Click on a method or variable, you will see all uses of that var or method. If you are clicking a usage of it you will jump to the method reference, even from libraries or for example from the Java runtime library.

Why is nothing ever simple?
I was reviewing a ticket to update the external libraries to the latest versions and ended up finding a bug in the newest version of one of the external libraries...

Fuckkk. I was living under a rock.

When did developers start charging for wysiwyg editor libraries?

😫😫😫

Decided to learn C++ to write a server daemon for Linux. That's going to be a nightmare. I haven't managed to do anything in 4 hours. How do I use external libraries?! 😭😭

Know your tools. Take some time to explore them. Knowing shortcuts, the capabilities of your IDE (and plug-ins), libraries and many more will look you like a wizard to others and can save you many efforts.

The world of SSO (Single sign on) it's a real shit.

At start I tought its a pretty common feature that lots of people want, so there should be a lot of open source options for making a server and client libraries.

So far I've only found to libraries, written in java with a fucking big book instead of a simple documentation with billions of options and features but without a fucking guide to get it running and connect with a database.

It's that hard to write an easy manual with the steps to get it running instead a giant book with million's of technical terms and architectural details?

Why are there barely any material design based static site libraries using js and CSS -,-

Don't use node or anything so guess I'll be building my own 😁🔫

I'm working in a complex CMake/C++14 project.
Many libraries uses EASTL as STL replacement, works and compiles flawlessly.
Have to use Qt5 for an application which uses the libraries.
The EASTL Library fucking collapses
Compile fails, 1k of syntax errors somehow.
After hours trying to figure out without alterating the EASTL library (i don't want to maintain custom versions of 3rd party libraries, an complete burden to maintaining updated)
Remove all reference of Qt5 from the code and the build system.
It fucking compiles.
Isolate an minimal build which only uses CMake, EASTL and Hello World in Qt5.
1k of syntax errors again.
Spend hours trying to fix it, no avail, still fucking 1k syntax errors.
I'm past beyond of the project development where ALL the big libraries of the project uses EASTL extensively.
One day C++ will drive me into the depths of madness.

The project is about keeping track of APIs of libraries, frameworks, language, and notify subscriber when some API is changed, added or deprecated

Thought to let you folks know who doesn't know about `pnpm`.
• no duplication of libraries. Second time the libs will be symlinked
• you can alias a library and it's separate versions.
• blazing fast.
• almost feels like python's package manager.

It's official. I've hit javascript ~fatigue~. *Burnout*. STAAAAHP with all the frameworks and libraries and weirdly named stuff. To quote Abe Simpson: "I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you...".

I need to switch gears.

I'm on that addition grind on github, trying to overtake everyone but it's so unfair that the lead-dev gets to commit all the libraries and has about +900000000000000000000 more additions than everyone else.....

Front end web development :

In 7 the standard : HTML
In First semester : HTML , CSS , BOOTSTRAP
Now : HTML , CSS , BOOTSTRAP , JS , SASS , JSX , REACT , JS libraries and what not . It's seriously very deep .

I love tinkering and i lowkey prefer chinese knockoffs to the original arduinos. I genuinely enjoy having to scout the internet for obscure drivers and sometimes having to write my own libraries.

Just found out that this whole time I've been using the awful, half-baked, abandoned library instead of the respected, feature-rich, popular one.

Why did it appear first in my search results? Only god knows.

Oooofff I'm so pissed right now😤

when you start really learning C, not "hello world" C but Makefiles and autotools and libraries... is it me or is almost everything a C library and the rest of the languages are just wrappers for C libraries?

When people write "sys.exit()" in their libraries instead of giving a helpful error and you spend about 3 hours debugging your code and trying to find out why it is exiting.

Parsing xml of a docx file manually, because libraries like apache poi dont provide the functionality you need...

Ah the great Javascript libraries.

Can't use the current version because the new version is in beta and coming soon.

Can't use the new version because it is in beta and full of bugs.

Awesome!

Apache Thrift!
Content-Type: application/x-thrift

I need to decode a message, but I'm stuck af. Thrift-tools, burp extensions, ThriftDecoder and several other libraries were not helpful.

Anyone who knows that type of stuff?

Angry rant.

Been stuck for 3 days with web socket config on VPS and it turned out one of the libraries I use gets fucked when compiled to JS. Deadline this weekend. Oh well.

Serious dumb thoughts.

Why do we need different languages when we can make changes or build libraries for one and make it better.

Trying to learn Angular and reactjs, reading up the tutorial or documentation...

Why the hell are there ten million more shit I need to look at first? (such as rxjs, Babel, webpack... and whatever the fuck they are)

Now am I supposed to master those ten million tools/libraries before I can proceed?

Of course there is no ten million but mentally it's no difference. I'm just fed up with this.

We are recruiting a front-end developer for 90k/year.
He refused to implement a simple ordering on our test, telling us “There are libraries to do that”. Apparently, TypeScript is not front-end.
Kindoff questioning our decision now.

Technologies come and go, but it has a lot in common. Set priorities right. Invest 80% of your learning time in fundamentals. Leave 20% for frameworks, libraries and tools.

Does anyone know good resources to learn Arduino Programming?

I have a basic understanding of C, I am looking for a series (of articles preferably) that walks you through the available libraries and the electrical engineering side of things.

People completing Stanford + Andrew Ng's course and bragging how they know machine learning in and out while having no idea how to code simplest application using the simplest libraries.

Who doesn't remember the rush of power you feel when you first print those line
Hello world!
And the frustration you feel when you find out libraries exist

JS has too many libraries to learn @_@

You gotta love it, when applications are distributed as AppImages and yet they require a fuckton of external libraries.

I don't understand the "Developers are lazy" cop-out. I write things that are concise and clear. Did people write libraries because they were lazy? I don't think so.

Was just asked to review a new set of libraries that the "experts" from our contracting wing created.

I opened one and the readme lists its features as:

Features:
- Feature 1
- Feature 2
- Feature 3

and the Faq is:

- Possible question 1
- Answer to question 1

Upgrade React Native from 0.55.2 to 0.57.5 => Fix/update 10+ libraries 😩😫😭

Does anyone ever feel like development is just attaching shitty libraries one to another?

There are so many tools, libraries and frameworks available for Javascript that its so difficult to select the most suitable one :|

I love that it takes Google forcing apps to be using more recent SDK's for them to update there own bloody apps that have been using deprecated SDK's and libraries for years...

Sometimes, when the documentation of libraries of software is unclear, instead of asking the author and waiting for a reply, I browse through the source code to find out what the exact behavior is. It sometimes feels like I'm the only who does that.

Anyone at the Junior level coming from a UX and Front End mixed background get frustrated while applying to jobs furthering learning new libraries while circling around to software or CMS's they haven't used in months/years? Feels like a scope creep IRL.

Company Infrastructure Team: We are doing away with proprietary libraries and using standard Java instead.

Also Company Infrastructure Team: Here have a fuck ton of new proprietary libraries with dozens of nested dependencies. Oh we don’t use Maven by the way because we are fucking idiots.

when you get to use new versions of libraries by hacking around issues of apps on top of them.

Can't use Mock to stub this 3rd party API's connection class, so gotta revert to HTTPretty. Again. I don't like using libraries with 4-years-old issues and playing guessing games with response formats. Le sigh...

Can't tell what the % weights are of my ignorance vs actual broken lib that are contributing to the issue.

Error: BadStatusLine: '' (die in a 🔥)

Am I alone in writing libraries in my time off work with the intent to use that library at work to avoid my company owning that library?

My dream is, that I could make a living from developing my opensource libraries. And some Companies pay me to develop some features for them.

I was trying to build a simple 2D (drag the fish to eat other fish) game in JavaScript, cause why not there are already many libraries i will certainly find one for my use.

I'm already familiar with p5.js thanks to Daniel Shiffman and his coding train sessions.

I thought to build the game with p5.js with the play and 2Dcollide libraries, but it turns out they don't have a custom irregular sprite collision detection neither the other thousands libraries which are rotting on github.

Guess, I need to build somethig own my own.

And I also hate it, cause I have to design those fishes, the main game logic, this collision detection function and levels

I need a coffee with a coding partner

Hello can I take a moment to tell you about my dev savior JavaScript

Now, I’m sure Microsoft wouldn’t intentionally sabotage popular iOS open source libraries just because they own GitHub now...

Then again, I can’t say I’ve ever experienced an error like this before ... 🙃

My first time using an MVC framework, not understanding packaging libraries, essentially writing over a composer package for it to do what I needed. 3 days of work later, did a composer install annnnnnd surprised pikachu

How the fuck can I get npm@5 to show me everything it just installed when I type `npm install`?

Was this because some twat wanted to push the idiotic idea that it's perfectly acceptable for js projects to rely on three million two line hipster.js libraries?

Fuck everything about the node ecosystem.

It's 1:22 am, and what am I doing? Rewriting my Smite Team Generator as a standalone Java library. I have plans on completely revamping how the Android front-end for it works as well. I really wish I didn't have the desire to do this right now so I could go to sleep.

npm packages - are libraries wherein the codes that u write today are deprecated next week.

Working on a tiny new project, can't build DLL libraries from our old projects. Contain mixed version of .Net written in VB and C#
Asked our senior developer to help me out.
...
After an hour, he's still not able to build it.
...
So he basically implemented some features I needed on the fly...
😂
DLL hell is real!

Importing all libraries at once above the code VS importing libraries when u need them in the code

heeeeey!

what libraries, frameworks, third-party stuff, etc. does Python have? I need to know some and I will dive deep on it!

Everytime I try to use company-wide libraries, I need to do damn reverse engineering. Why the fuck they don't put actual examples on the documentation!

Interlnal lib documentation:

'This is a short description: Lorem ipsum...'

Don't know why I expected more...

Am I the only one who thinks that it is put of hand this thing of "building" websites?

CoffeeScript -> JavaScript (+ 1M libraries)
SASS -> CSS (+ framework)
Markdown -> HTML

etc.

Does not his mean that we have failed at creating languages and tools?

That it pays to research what's out there first (available libraries) than to reinvent the wheel

That feeling when anything you do in any platform can be done in Javascript and most likely there already is a library for it

That moment when you are not able to find the functionality you intend to use in any of the libraries.... And then you decide to write your own. #devPower

As much as I love CodeIgniter, it is really showing its age (I know v4 is in progress). Most of the extensions and libraries are really old (4,5 years of no activity on GitHub) or abandoned, feeling like one is visiting 2008, it makes me sad.

Ever happened,.. ? the whole Application crash due to a bug in one of the libraries used and you skim through the code a million times, make a billion changes but the app still crashes.

Why does all GPU functionality need a while new language? Libraries are a thing ya know?

My favourite part of a project is when you change libraries mid-project

!rant Everybody blame guys for using different IDEs, languages, tools or libraries. But what we all have in common is the feeling of perfection, when you code a function of 30, 50, 100 or 200 lines of code and it runs without errors on the first run 😍

Any ideas for a python challenge that doesn't require external libraries

During my first internship I had to change a number in an Admin panel (system called "sonata admin").

Couldn't upload the file through ftp, called my supervisor, he SSH'd into the host and replaced the file.

When we refreshed the site it was a blank page with nothing but the logo on it.

We got it working again but man what a scare.

My first dev job after vocational high school is being an android dev, still on 2.1.

Small amount of tutorials for doing basic stuffs, no libraries that makes life easier, my english sucks and no idea how to java.

Oh and i did the backend too.

But at least i got paid 150$ a month which is nice than being an unemployed

Why does it have to be so hard to watch blu-ray movies on Linux? Either the decryption libraries crash or they freeze the whole system.

I give up, I'm booting Windows now.

I never trust any commit in other people's libraries with the message "misc changes" 🧐

But in my own repo .. 🤫

Facepalm of the day:

My coworkers commits third party libraries AND the source code of them. Of course, the source code is never used.

Prigression is stopped at the current job. I work with PHP, java and other related languages aaand jquery. I feel like I should start learning vue/angular and rewrite the 2000line jquery mess i have now for one of the projects.
Working as a freelancer after work - how do you guys find time to learn new languages/libraries and have a life at the same time?

Checking out cool projects and libraries because your bored coding the function you just rewrote 20 times from all the changes that keep being sent over.

Why are there so many testing framworks for JavaScript? Jasmine, mocha, buster ... and for spies, stubs and mocks, there is sinon and for assertions, there is chai. And oh you can record entire external api calls with nock and whatever else I forgot. I am a bit overwhelmed by this overambundancy of libraries. Writing tests is supposed to be easy.

I think the most unnecessary feature was when I decided to create a network wrapper for one of my libraries.

We had 2 network styles in my library, but both were supported as they're each used for unique reasons. Then we decided to build 2 wrappers so either library could read the other libraries messages... We never ended up using it...

When you develop a standalone page using JS and the old JS, JQuery libraries interfere with your current libraries!
Delete

Open that js file rename
Open that min.js file rename

Still Not working!
Cleared cache ... works like a charm!
Damn you cache and min.js!!!

So I was planning to use an REST API wrapper library and I included into my app spent over an hour working my logic... No errors... but then when I compile... I get a FUCKING DEPENDENCY COMPATIBILITY ERROR.... My NET Framework app isn't compatible with NET Standard libraries??? WTF.....

That moment you need a messaging bus for a part of your application and there is always 1 cheeky dev who will shouts for building it oursevles instead of using of the shelve libraries.... STFU and GTFO

Why do some developers seems to be fine if you copy paste some simple code but are losing it when it comes to using new libraries/services which are designed for exactly your problem?

Microsoft, why did you put a index base modifier command into VBA if 2/3 of your built in libraries ignore it?

Just joined a new company this week. They have react, redux, and all sorts of libraries checked into their repo. Code looks like someone puked all over it. Should I quit? Or stay and clean it up?

Anyone know of any GPU accelerated Machine Learning libraries that DON'T need Python, something maybe using C/C++, C# or Java?

Throw out or minimize paper tests and teach primarily through projects and the tools and libraries that are actually used.

You can still do the theory, there’s merit to it, but I wish I’d had more experience in my classes with the things employers are actually looking for.

Is there actually any frontend framework or boilerplate to just code and avoid messing around with old libraries, missing dependencies, no documentation? I'm seriously moving to plain ES6, it feels more flexible :/

I get the feeling that there is a lot of web developers here and I am just curious where I should start. I have a strong c style background and want to start building websites but where should I begin? There are so many languages, frameworks and libraries these days.

So, I'm using Vpython for my physics class.
The good thing is that I love that. The bad thing is that the last update to vpython was in 2015.
Well, I update my system yesterday and apparently one of the libraries got an API update and that broke Vpython and can't be used again T.T
I'm trying to fix the code at the moment ;-;

TL;DR, which is the best JS templating library?

I've been using React for a while since I like the library's ideology and how simple designing templates is. But for the sake of future technologies, I've been wondering if I could get out of React and start coding with native JS.
The only problem is constructing the DOM, which gets super ugly with vanillaJS. So, I want to ask the experienced members of devRant which library would best suit my use case.
