A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

A friend bought a new expensive mouse.
I made the mistake of asking how it feels in his hand.
His response was "Heavenly. Like cupping an angel's ballsack".7 -
The programmer who killed people: Not so talented programmer named John, made a mistake in his code. because of this mistake the program users spent 15 minutes to do a workaround. this program had 10 million users. In general the users spent 150 million minutes because of john's mistake, which is 2.5 million hours. if a person sleeps about 8 hours a day, he have 16 active hours. which means john wasted 156,250 human days that equals to 427.8 human years. people leave approx. until the age of 64, that means John just killed 6.68 people because of his bug. So john, how do you sleep at night?10

That late coffee was a mistake... (For the millionth time)

Spoiler: not good!4 -
Fucking fuck, I have been coding for so long yet I still make this mistake:
I wrote:
if (stateRunning = 1)
instead of:
if (stateRunning == 1)21 -
First broken rule - Publish on Friday
Second broken rule - Delete without backing up
Major screw up - Main folder deleted containing several sites
Major problem - Cannot find anyone on the server team for backups3 -
After heck a lot of hours of debugging my Java code which looked all right, found out my mistake was just using == instead of equals()5

I was just trying to fix a "bug" for 2 hours and then found out I only had to "clean" to project..6

Started with learning C.
Made the first big mistake right at the start.
NOTE TO ME:
NEVER EVER SEARCH FOR "C STRING" WHILE WORKING.10 -
Noob mistake, forgot the rename an HTML file to a .php file; was wondering why things weren't working at all.2

So I did a rookie mistake this week. Connected a webapp for a client using Nginx and installed the SSL cert for the site. I decided to activate the firewall of the server because hey security. All was well. Went home feeling like I am the shit.
Next day I find out I can't log in to the server over ssh. Only to find out that I had forgotten to allow SSH through the firewall.
I had basically locked myself out of the server. 😞9 -
Still one of my favourites.

My boss looks unbelievably similar to a character from the Simpsons.
We have a new guy start, he wants to show his wife how uncanny the resemblance is. So he sends her a picture of him... Except he sent it to our boss by accident, this was his first day on the Job.8 -

Wanted to give DuckDuckGo a try, later I realized I better not to, because a one letter mistake will lead to disasters.
I mistakenly typed: dickdickgo.com :)16 -
Once I purposely made a very obvious mistake to see if QA was actually testing due to how many bugs were getting through to production.4

A bug is never just a mistake. It represents something bigger. An error of thinking. That makes you who you are.

Never ever have a tab open on production server database. Changed all users passwords by mistake. Thought was my test database.2

Found out a senior dev threw me under the bus for a mistake I made while coding and it affected my raise. Not only was I never initially informed of the mistake, I was never told what went wrong and why it needed fixing. We also don't implement code reviews or anything of the sort. Seems like a great avenue for improvement and growth, right? 😑5
-
What is the worst production mistake you made?
Mine is restarting one of the main servers (wrong terminal window).31 -
My worst devSin was testing in production once because I was too lazy to set up the dev environment locally.
Never will I do that mistake again!4 -
Here is the problem.
We all make mistakes. It's part of our lives and we learn a lot from it.
But you motherfucker, acting like an all-knowing being amongst all the developers. You think no one knows better than you. You learned something 2 years ago and you think nothing has been updated after that.
You make a mistake, you accept it and learn from it. But if you think you know everything, stop asking me to review your code. Fuck you, cocksucker.4 -
My wife saw me posting on Dev Rant raging about my boss, and suggested I ought to use a different user name instead of my usual one... considering he spends all day using social media I think she might be right... passed the advice on to some friends we are all now paranoid and have new accounts. <32

Rofl. Used this saying at work. Writing software is like having a child. Make one mistake and you have to support it for the next eighteen years2

One of our juniors was adding a feature and made a small mistake in one of their (copy-pasted) unit tests by forgetting to cast a return value of a mock
So he spent a ton of time changing the main code to do type checks, try/catching and error handling.
Poor soul realized the mistake in code review one day later2 -
Never thought I'd become one of those people who get really annoyed when my code works first time. I know I've made a mistake... why can't you be obvious!1

Not planning for it at all, then see the service gain traction and traffic explodes through the roof.
Not gonna do that mistake again!1 -

Tfw you accidentally chmod'ed the entire root of your cloud server, because you've misplaced a "/".. Thank god, that there is such a thing called a 'backup'.
The amount of sweat and stress I had when the SSH disconnected and I couldn't log back in, the Apache and MySQL services that began to throw failures..
It's on moments like this, that you really appreciate the 24/7 customer-support! 😂
And all this while I was at my job, working for another company.. -
Working as a part time student on an app and until now I thought I was the king of software development.
Well, fuck me and my high horse.
Today the stuff we send from the client to the server didn't arrive, so I asked the backend guy if he could take a look at the packages arriving. He did and told me the data was messed up.
I did only design stuff the last week or so, so I was very confused. After reverting back to one old commit after the other it struck me.
I still don't know how such a dumb mistake could have happened to me, the king of Android apps, but apparently I replaced all occurrences of a specific keyword in just the strings and comments of the whole project. Key became KeyList, so instead of <Keys> my XML contained <KeyList> which made no goddamn sense whatsoever.
Did I mention that we have an important deadline tomorrow? Yeah...
So now I leaned my lesson. Never trust XML.
JK I'm dumb. That's the lesson here. -
I use yahoo email as my main email, because that's what my father used when I first created an account like 10 years ago... That was a big fucking mistake it seems...5

After coding in c++ for a week now, whenever I type '#' in todoist, my fingers automatically type #include.
And then I correct my mistake. Annoying, but cool -
Final project senior year...
Mistake 1: Chose a project suggested by the prof, who did not initially make it obvious that the project beneficiary would be a personal friend of his.
Mistake 2: Nine of us thought this project looked cool and all signed up for it.
Mistake 3: Looked at the code-behind provided for us and discovered that the web-app we were building was... programmed in Java, using StringBuilder to append HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and create its webpages. Which was then decoded and built into a webpage using some obtusely designed compiler.
Mistake 4: Decided to question the reasonability of said project to the prof.
Mistake 5: Did not quit the project as a group and do something else
We all graduated, I think, but a lot of C-'s were had. Fuck that class. -
The moment when you edit your code and run it but nothing changes and you try looking for the mistake in yor code but the only mistake is that you forgot to compile it first...2

I created a class Log with a method d(String tag, String text) to replicate Android's log method in Flutter.
class Log {
static void d(String tag, String text) { print(tag + ": " + text); }

I replaced all 'print' into 'Log.d' in my project and I wondered why emulator kept crashing for the past two days.
Now I know..4 -

turned down software engineering job offers after college because I thought it be a good to take a temporary position as a controls engineer so I could pay off student loans faster.
realizing how big of mistake it was. working long hours on uninteresting tasks. I just want to code for a living. -
Do you guys often talk out loud when coding/debugging ? I find myself doing that and it has actually helped me find mistake or understand things8

I used to love JS until I learned it properly. Shit is a fucking hodge-podge of concepts. Still not as mature as I thought it was. And each new iteration is just fixing the mistakes of its past. Fucking language is a mistake in itself!8

Spent hours synthesizing few novel ideas on Notepad, and then did Ctrl-A, Ctrl-X so I could just paste it in my private blog. The blog wouldn't respond, ssh'd into the server to troubleshoot, and then realized my habitual use of Ctrl-C destroyed that very content I spent hours on. Only realized this after I got the blog back up running again. X-( I should start getting into habit of using VSCode or Gvim more.8

Debugging lesson learnt
The place where you think you can't make a mistake is the place you make a mistake. -
Working a a GIS company, which just makes this so much worse:
Had to do conversion of wind direction degrees to shorthand symbols (N, SE, etc). Everything ends up rotated by 90 degrees, and the project manager craps on the dude that wrote the API I get the degrees from. He claims innocence, so I get it next.
Turns out, I used the Cartesian system (where 0 starts on the right) instead of the cardinal directions (where 0, North, is at the top).
Yeah, still haven’t lived that one down... -
Made a mistake in scrapping project, realized it AFTER it spent 3 days running, now I relaunched it (corrected) with 4 times more workers to meet the deadline

My worst coding mistake
In my last project for the distributed application programming, I was working on encryption for messaging between two users, the mistake was after decrypting the message you should trim it, and I was trimming before which made the message corrupt, this mistake costed me 2 weeks of delay since I couldn't find the problem, the code was like this
Message=decrypt(message.trim());
Where it was supposed to be
Message=decrypt(message).trim(); -
My mistake for using edge. Uggggggg I hate microsoft. My parents don't know how to use word. How could they know how to set up parental controls.

My client had a meeting and presentation of app for one possible client of that app. I, as a developer of that app, left a hardcoded id,I saw it but forgot about it immediately. Let's just say filtering did not work properly. Sorry.1

I make a mistake today.
The incident happens when I opened my computer, open Vivaldi, and after all tabs are loaded, I update my Linux distro.
Unfortunately, when it updates the kernel, it got lagged, really lagged. My CPU load goes up to 14,56 (which is also the PB of CPU load of my computer). I barely can move my mouse. I decided to Ctrl-C, nothing happened. Then I decided to turn off my computer by pressing the power button once, nothing happened. Then I hold the power button for a few seconds, don't really hesitate or think of anything.
When I start my computer again, it goes to the GRUB. I realized that the GRUB load is slower than usual, but I don't really think of anything. When I choose the 'Alter Linux' option (which is the name of my distro), the GRUB says that it cannot find the kernel and thus it cannot boot. At this point it's pretty fucked up.
2 lessons that I have learned after this incident:
1. Turn off every single other window (except the Update window) when you are going to update.
2. Never turn off the computer while it's still updating, especially if there is kernel update in it.
(Luckily, I have an old version of the distro burned to a Kingston USB, so I can run the live environment of the distro from the USB, and then install another distro to that USB)20 -
This is just funny more then anything 😂
This guy has been fucking up non stop!
He did something incredible, we gave him precise EXACT instructions you couldn’t mistake them
What does he do? Everything wrong.
Granted what he does, works, but... it will take me hours to do what I want to do with the data, if he did it the right way, minutes!
All I wanted was all the active products for this company and their links on the site. He creates an export I can convert to google xml shopping.
What does he do? create over a 100 export buttons one for each supplier so it’s right but it’s all products for that supplier in one file.
So I can do my bit if I just combine 100 files together 😂
It’s funny because there’s already an export that does the exact thing we want just without all the right fields. This is what we asked.
He just needed to duplicate that and add more fields 😂 we think he’s doing it on purpose to be a dick 😂 no one can be that dumb.
I’m laughing cause it’s fucking ridiculous. He’s gonna get fired soon, and he knows it. -

So i kind of fucked up...
I am currently living out of town and only have my laptop and rpi with me. Wanting to try something new, i decided to challenge myself to only use linux until i get back home, but i also wanted a new distro. (Oh and btw my only internet connection is provided by my phone and tablet, which is used as a hotspot, and because i already used all of my monthly data on the tablet now i only have my phone and an unlimited 128kbps connection which turns into a decent connection only after 11pm)
I downloaded the distro image last night and was planning to install it today, so i shutdown the laptop immediately after the download finished). If only i remembered that i had already wiped the old linux partition containing GRUB.
So now i need to wait until 11 pm so i can download another image on my rpi and flash it to my usb drive. Fuck me...
I guess i'll relax until then.1 -
Sometimes I feel like going back in time and changing some things. If life would have a debugger would know when I am doing a mistake.3

There is one mistake that I keep doing all over again...
First of all, there is a task I don't like. Therefore I start thinking about writing a script for it.
I write a quick solution and it does not work!
I am allways ending up with spending ways to much time on the given task...
Can someone please tell me why?1 -
Telling someone about devRant.... typed devTent (no idea if it was auto corrected)... wait! it seems correct in the other way1
-
So this is the most idiotic thing I have ever done!
Was resolving an issue in a module in our application on "Test" Instance, instead of uploading file to "Test" I was uploading to "Dev" and I was wondering for the last 2 hours why the hell changes are not working!!!
I need a break, Thank god its half day today... its a rest day now 🙈2 -

As a junior in a print communication agency, my boss wanted me to make their portfolio.
Their requirements were: a full animated flash website (in 2010...). Understand, they had been bought the Adobe license...
After several months of works and ton of alerts about flash death, the website has been deployed.
My boss did not understand why he could not visit the website with its iPhone...
The website had lived 2 months and will was replaced by a static "wix" alternative... So much work for nothing because the boss did not trust a junior dev.
Biggest lesson: Always begin with fast proof of concept to validate your hypotheses for you and for your boss ;) -
On top of being ignoring the Linux community and the audio problem caused by their sheer incompetence to use WebRTC and Electron in order to support screen sharing, they now just sent me the whole damn thing again over the span of 2 hours.

What was the most silliest mistake you have ever made just before you were unable to focus for some reason as a developer / programmer ?

I wanted to know what is the worst mistake you make on database.
I have actually implements the logic of token access control on database and not on business logic layer.
The database have a login procedure which accept username and password. That login procedure actually hash the password and try to authenticate user.
If it is a correct user , it generate a token. In other to use other procedure on database , you must provide a token. By using that token , the procedure know who is it and what permission is granted to that user.4 -
How is it possible?
I installed a treeview module. I followed all the documentation and the module is showing. Perfect!
Me: create 3 roots,
Module: all is ok.
Me: 😊create 2 nodes,
Module: everything is fine.
Me: 😁3rd node
Module: ... Kaput. tree displays like the nodes are in random order.
Me: 🤨Check the database, and fix the set.
Module: Aah much better.
Me: 😃Try to change an int.
Module: Noooooo! Big mistake!!!
Me: 🤔Ok, ok, ok, rollback! 😧
Module: still in random situation
Me: 😶 and now what? -

Not job but during internship, the guy I didn’t like gave me the electrical circuit task, with acid bath and shit. I had to create 2 from the original tEmplate. I realized one copy had one of its connecting plate removed by mistake. I duplicated my mistake on the second copy as well.

Release team was recently disbanded, they handed off release management to the Dev scrum masters. The other day we had a weekly release for a product that uses a network service that is shared with other products. The devs didn’t know how to set up the build correctly. They had a purge setting on that removed the network service for products that weren’t being touched in the release. The end result was that the other products were inaccessible for an hour and a half! They eventually found their mistake, but we were lucky that it was outside of core business hours.
These devs need to learn how to work the build tools! Or maybe we should rethink getting rid of the release team. -
Had a customer billing due today, spent 2 hours trying to figure out why the Billingservice kept failing. Had an uncommited transaction on another laptop. Somebody kill me 😑

When you deliver a site to a customer and find out that you forgot to prepare all the statements so that the website wouldn't be vulnerable to SQL injections. So yesterday I forgot to add that, had to close down all the connections to the website and rewrite all the statements. Everything is good now

Lesson learned, never use Vim's 'd' to move a large chunk of code from file to file. Need to move a large chunk of Rust code from one file to another, when I quit the session and edit the file needs to be pasted, the entire content, disappeared, divided into atoms.
Edit: I found that the 'd' command means 'delete command', so that may explain why. But still.2 -
ummmm an update without where..

The biggest mistake we all make right now is we get comfortable with the least level of effort during a time which has been made pointless

I shouldn't help those who are not actually into programming and are in it for whatever side reason and don't want to make any effort and just want the final answer from you. Right? I know it's right. I've made that mistake before and here I am, making the same mistake!!6
