Heard a conversation between my colleague and the boss
Boss: (saw my colleague's messy desk) hey, could you organize your desk? It's not nice to see when clients come in. You know what they say, messy desk represents a messy brain..
Colleague: (glanced over to the boss' empty desk) and what does an empty desk say for the brain?12 -
Finally sharing my desk! The team is allowed to work in a dark room, the proper environment for developers.

Monday morning cup of coffee with my new mug. Definitely my favorite thing on my desk at the moment.

I think devRant should let us to put some cats also on our avatar desk, in order to be more realistic. My cats don't like staying under the desk. :D

This is Spork. Spork lives on the desk in my apartment.
My girlfriend bought the plant for her office but he wasn't getting enough light there so now he has a better home on my desk and gets lots of sunlight during the day.

Every hour or so someone shows up at my desk requesting a query to be executed.
I feel like I'm just a human-sql interface.3 -
Since most of the pics here are either joke/memes or battlestations or laptop on a nice desk..... I give you my humble coding corner on my bed from a 3rd world country. Still student so....gotta improvise. No, desk is too far away for power socket.

What should I name him/her?

Guess what my supervisor had lying around the house and gave me? (from an old company project) My desk is gonna shine bright like a diamond. Yes, it's RGB.

Me: Making me work 17 hours without a 8 hour break is illegal.
Manager: You just sit at a damn desk all day and long shifts are required of IT
???????? Do you really think I just sit at my desk twaddling my thumbs?13 -
Thanks ssh!
Because of you I don't have to leave the bed to run commands on my Linux server(laptop) sitting on my desk.8 -
Finished setting up my little war machine at the new desk. Posting picture as proof that this table was indeed tidy at some point in time.
15 -
All I can think about since getting this app is how much better my life would be with a devRant stress ball on my desk. Until then, my friend this fake potato will do.
5 -
At laptop, building a complex task and have my Atom editor opened. Client arrived at my desk.
"That's why the development is so slow. You have to paint all those words."

Ive posted this picture before, but for the wk15 theme, I have to say: my favourite thing on my desk is: my MacBook Pro 😿
5 -
Why to most developers who look beautiful are JavaScript developers (looking at you Instagram) and all of them have the MacBook and perfectly clean desk. How's that possible.
If I were to clean up my desk it will take around 45 minutes to complete.21 -
my desk neighbour started an online meeting, with her headset on. but she didn't realise that all the sound came from speakers. meeting lasted several hours.

Came to office and found out my Devrant stress ball is missing from my desk.
Should i go back home?2 -

I just started rubber duck debugging and this is wonderful. Also added a switch to my desk toys, so fun

Why do I charge my phone via PC USB at work (slowly) when I actually have a power bar on my desk...2 -
When someone comes to your desk and asks "did you get my slack message".... Which they sent 23 seconds ago 😒4

Thanks Windows 10 for rebooting because I left my desk for 20 minutes. It's not that there were programs still running or anything like that.
-
After a nightmare weekend where moving my 80 year old desk caused the wood to completely split and almost broke my computer and screens in the process..... I felt physically sick.....
Somehow I became a carpenter for the day and rebuilt and resized my desk to make it better then ever.....
Couldn't be happier with the final result tbh!

Why do people insist on moving stuff on my desk!
I've very particular about my desk, have my monitors, laptop stand, stands for devices etc. setup the way I like them, and every so often someone sits at my desk when i'm not in and just shoves everything around.
Last company I worked for, I came back from holidays to a thunderbolt cable, the connector of which, had been crushed under the wheel of a chair, because someone left it on the floor.
... Is it wrong or not "proper", to send around an email saying the next person to touch my stuff gets stabbed?10 -
My set up in March, 2003.
On the desk: Titanium PowerBook G4 1Gz
On the floor: custom-built PC running my email and web server on SUSE Linux

Sitting in an "Advanced Python" course (paid by my employer), I kicked something under my desk. I hope those guys know Python better than they know electrical security measures...

Here’s my desk at work in the main office. Annoyed by the two different screens on the side. And the lack of cable management.

My home setup.
I love having a huge desk.
I can fit my work setup and I still have space for some mess (and university stuff) 😁

The office decided to buy us all ice-cream. I got mine out the fridge put it on my desk and before I sat down was asked to join a meeting, after that on the way to my desk got called over to help someone. Eventually got back to find my ice-cream had melted over my entire desk :(1
-
after an all nighter, I walked in at about 10:30am and unloaded a small bag of groceries on my desk I got to restock the community fridge. Boss walks up, "WTF?!? NO BEER?!?" Slams his credit card on my desk and walks away...1

Fav items on my desk:
#1: "Rubber duck" and stressball all in one
#2: my motivation to keep working so I can afford this car some time :D

My desk monkey. He serves the purpose of both keeping the monitors dust free and receiving verbal abuse when things go wrong . . .
1 -
I found that the best place to work on code was at one of my best friends' apartment because:
- cat
- comfortable desk with more screens that I could ever wish for
- coffee AND beer machines at one arm extension from the desk
- cat8 -
when I ended up catching 400 pokemons from 10 countries while sitting at my desk, makes you wonder what algorithm allowed that1

I know i'm late to week 119... but I just finished assembling my desk.

You can always tell how stressed I am while Programming by how much hair is sitting on my desk.
It's become habit to rub my hands through my hair when things ain't going so well2 -
Overhauled my desk today, and here's the new setup! Also, the star lights turn on and off with my laptop.

I know I'm a bit late - but here's my desk. Much more beautiful than the one of my bf, huh? (•\\\•)
5 -
I took wk119 to clean my desk and make my wife happy (for a short period of time).
WFH Setup has been rearranged shortly and is not finished. Most of the soldering/Arduino/Pi/drone stuff has been removed and will get a seperate workbench soon.
Lightning is not finished as i plan to reinstall the smart lightstripes again.
But hey , cleaning the desk is enough for this week :-)

I just calmly got up from my desk and walked into a meeting room to scream.
I hate this fucking job4 -
Speaking of work stations - once upon a time there were not many screens on my desk.. and it was the best ;)
2 -
Sent my cv through a local job finder website, 2 days later got an interview, 2 days later got a technical interview, 2 days later I was already sitting on my new desk

My cat decided to jump on the PC at 5 AM.
Lesson learned: Never going to put my PC on the desk again.

So I just proved myself that I hate going outside.
Sitting in front of my big fat desk is my comfort zone.24 -
Day 3 since I purchase a laptop and my productivity level has risen significantly. Love not being restricted to my desk.2

So since everyone is sharing their setups and I just finished cleaning the desk, here it comes. The rice is still in progress since I switched to NixOS two days ago

It's so cold in the office that I want to work under my desk, next to my foot heater. Can't see the monitor from there, though.3

My setup at work and at home. I'm using Ubuntu on both.
I hardly use my desk at Home. Most of the time I'm using the notebook while I'm watching TV.

Here's a followup to my previous desk photo; this is my desk at work. Portrait monitors and Sci-Fi posters FTW!

Never thought I would like a standing Desk, but this is pretty great. Got horrible sleep last night, was falling asleep at my desk, so I stood up and pulled the desk up and WAM! No more sleepiness! Who needs Coffee or Soda when you have the power of STANDING.6
-
On my desk, relics from a lost computing civilization.
I'm curious if anyone recognizes what these are.
I'll post what they are later today if nobody knows.

This is my favorite item on my desk at work. A kinetic sand frame. Gifted by my girlfriend on my birthday. This frame is always a nice detraction from the difficult stuff.

Myself
The place is poorly run, I drink beer at my desk in secret or worse have tantrums like a 2 year. -
I can get a lot more done working in Starbucks, than from my own desk at work or home. Wonder if anyone else is the same way5

Managed to keep the IT department happy... made friends there, getting amazing stuffs at request right at my desk2

All I want in life is to sit at a desk, drink hot coco or energy drinks, program and slowly become insane, because my code won't work2

Remember to exercise kids!
My back is dying. Work equipment is great, but at home my posture is screwed from my chair not going high enough and my desk being too high for my arms to be parallel.4 -
Left the desk to look something to eat in the fridge. Returned 5 mins later to find my laptop restarted all by itself.
Microsoft, you evil bitch.2 -
When I was younger my mom would tell me to clean the soda cans off my desk. Now my wife tells me to clean the beer cans off my desk. It nice to have a beer when late night programming :)

Getting sent home from work because I fucked my back and I've never hated sitting down so much, so painful...
Won't even be able to sit at my desk and code :'-(4 -
I just had a nightmare I spilled my gin inside my computer. Might be putting that back under my desk... And not leaving drinks on my case with an open top...4

So this night, I dreamt that my devRant stickers arrived.
Well fuck they didn't lay on my desk when I woke up.
Why is reality like this.3 -
Returned to my desk earlier and guess what, someone fucking stole something from me. How dare someone fucking steal my tictac! 😑😑😑1

My GOTG pop figures are my favorite items on my desk. Whenever I have a bad day at work, I make their heads move and that cheers me up :P Drax is missing though

I went on vacation, and when I came back, they had removed all of the keys from my keyboard and put them in a bag, and placed the bag and my mouse and some other items in my overhead bin, and then they closed it and locked it, and my desk, and stuffed the keys up in the overhead bin, and this innocent little guy was hanging by a noose from the ceiling over my desk.

Share your desk!
This is 80% of time my desk, besides this kitchen (also living room) table.
I can sit here for eight hours straight without standing up. No, I don't have any back issues or smth.
I wonder how your workplace looks like

The worst part about the devRant stressball is that it makes the unlevelness of my desk very clear3

@localhost, my desk. Also where I eat dinner, sometimes with my wife too. As you can see, my old Pro is displaying a perfect visual representation of what is happening to my soul. 😏

When you sit at your desk peacefully doing nothing and a coworker calls you.
Almost fell off my chair... -
Few weeks back, I have subscribed /r/battlestations and drooling everyday. Now with this latest devRant news, it's time to save money or sell my ass on street to
1) buy a wide monitor or monitors
2) buy backlit keyboard and mouse
3) buy a good desk
4) buy a good chair
5) buy/rent a room with enough space
Forget about buying and setting up a good unit, I can just use my potato laptop for one photo taking. *dry-laugh*
(∩︵∩)2 -
My client installed a new proxy that severely blocks out most of their own intranet, including their IT service desk. We can't raise tickets to let them know and their email just redirects us to their service desk. Fuck me these guys are idiots.
-
I come into the office today and a new guy is sitting at my desk. alright, I introduce myself and explain this is my desk (btw I work in an office where some workers share a desk, me being the most senior tech the desk is reserved for me) and he gives me a dirty look, gets up, and doesn't say anything. could you be more of an asshole?
has this ever happened to anyone else ?5 -
My setup. That’s where i sleep and pet my duck :)
... I’m looking for a horizontal monitor slide which I can mount to my desk but can’t find one :/ suggestions?

Can't wait to set up my custom standing desk at home made from Ikea parts. It will be based on the design in the link below but with a few modifications since some parts aren't sold anymore. Anyone using a standing desk?

My standing desk (yes with a button became a standing desk) with a usb pedal that I scripted on Linux to move the mouse cursor.

Thanks @xzvf my desk is now accurate because the only two things I drink are coffee and redbull ♥️6

My brother: Get your things out of the desk so I can put my stuff
Me: Ok, I'm already allocating some space
I think I'm programming too much 🤔🤔🤔 -
Got my Stress Ball in the mail the other day. It now joins the other items living on my desk at work. :-)

OMG!
The new swag is so adorable! I had to click it immediately, can't wait to have it sitting on my desk :)1 -
I just realized that the users I like the most on here have cluttered desks. But the cluttered desks here don't properly represent my desk.
-
@localhost finally got around to posting my WFH space (not pictured is a Surface Book and Surface Pro 3).
@sheffter not everyone has an immaculate desk ;-)

I have this one project manager who shows up at my desk, following up on his email for which I haven't even received push notification yet

To my colleague on the desk beside: Please don't code Javascript so close to me. Keep some safe distance. XD5

Can someone come and clean my desk? I not on the mood and my code to clear the desk seems to be stuck in a wtf loops.

Is sleeping on your desk an actual thing which happen or it is a misconception provided by movies?
I have never slept on my desk no matter how tired I am (I had done a week coding marathon) .I always wrap myself with fluffy blanket when sleeping.10 -
Never trouble me when I am codong on bisual studio in windows. I will bash your head into my desk.
You read it roght, INTO my desk!5 -
I literally handcuff myself to my desk sometimes. Also helps with my trichotillomania. Double win.4

None...
My work desk is ordered chaos. It's an unspectacular white desk.
To the left paper for taking notices... And a collection of notes highly unordered.
In the top left corner of the desk the router.
Middle (front to back): Color sorted post it's with my backlog and all the stuff that I need to keep track off.
Keyboard, Monitor
Right (front to back): mailboxthingy, post it block, utensilo (made of bamboo)
That's the working desk. Like the "shining knight in armor"....
Next to the working desk is the play desk, a large kitchen table with a 5mm thick black rubber (keep your dirty thoughts for yourself ;)) as insulation and scratch prevention.
There is usually utter chaos.
Banana PI R2, test router, old hardware, hardware storage cabinet, screw and other small part cabinet....
And to the right is a large chest of drawers where I cram everything in that doesn't belong anywhere.
I'm pretty boring I guess.
Except you are kinky for old hardware and lots of weird stuff noone uses nowadays...
Then you're in heaven I guess.1 -
getting pissed the night before, enjoying a sleep at my desk, informed that the boss was on his way back from our other office.
-
I cleaned up my desk and decluttered everything to freshen things up.
It's much nicer to have a clean desk especially when a desk is the only 'office' in your business.
It's not perfect, but it's much better than before :)
PS: I wouldn't dare to share the mess it was and burn it through your eyes... It'd be a sin.

I got a new formula 1 model of one of my favorite racers (Sebastian Vettel)
It looks so great on my desk
5 -
I just have this guy on my desk. And every single time I look at him rick shouts " I'm Pickle Rick"!
-
I keep my desk at work uncluttered, and I haven't set up a workspace at home yet, but when I do, the pride of my desk will definitely be my namesake.
-
From the window by my desk I can see helicopters, jet planes and the occasional bird attacking people.
What do you see out your window by your desk?8 -
It's oddly satisfying to have a ducky on my avatars desk. Thanks everyone for the upvotes. Cheers!!! 😁🍻

When I look at the hefty PC setup on my desk self-assembled ~8 years ago, the only thought crossing my mind is: "what the hell was I thinking..."
time for an upgrade to free up 1 sq meter of space on my desk5 -
My colleagues desk is so messy that they have actually started to expand their mess onto neighbouring desks...
Their gym clothes are currently on the desk next to me which is actually behind them!
My obsessive tidyness can't take this!1 -

sitting alone on my desk for 5 fu****g days making my agency's landing page. Replaced all lorem shit ipsum with my feelings. Pray for my lazy co-workers

I personally like to sit with my laptop on my bed when I code. I just lean my pillows up against the wall and lay into them. It's just a comfortable spot and I like it. I've never cared much for sitting in a chair at a desk, which is also why I have my desk right next to my bed! (I've been told my setup is very unusual.)6
-
MacOS terminal -> Windows 10 Local Network -> Ubuntu session. Every key I strike gets touched by three different operating systems running on my desk.1
-
I prefer to have lesser things to my desk except my monitor I connect my laptop to and my speakers and peripherals.
I like my desk to be absolutely as clean as it can get. -
My desk is usually clean. I have a small sponge ball and a drawing pad on my desk. Its not much, but it does help me get through the daily pressure. I've seen people keep a small plant on their desk but I dont understand why . Maybe i will if I keep one.3

Righto guys I need a desk. Not a gaming desk. Just a desk. I have no room for my third monitor. So for all of you 3 monitor Devs what desks are you using?9

Whoo, I think I halved the cable mess on my desk since I *finally* removed my old 4-way KVM-switch! (I haven't used PS/2 keyboards/mice for a long time anymore..)
-
I kinda interested to see you guys desk setup.
I’m a mobile dev, I feel like I can never organize my devices and cable....4 -
Depends on which desk we're talking about...
Office desk: an empty can, a tophat well as a demo and some Russian paracetamol I found from a pocket of my winter coat.
Home Office #1 desk: the keyboard for another computer, a plant, a bunch of magazines and newspapers belonging to someone else, a roll of kitchen paper, someone else's meds, a cup of cookies, another cup of small tomatoes, a Swiss army knife, a bike computer and a tablet.
Home Office #2 desk: wife's laptop, a bunch of chargers for a myriad of devices, a Kindle, some envelopes full of stickers, others with bills, a lot of random crap, and usually when I'm at the desk, one or two purring felines -
It suuucks having to code split-screen on a 15" 1920x1080 laptop on a small desk that's only 2 feet wide. That's my home setup..
Code-cramp, I say. Time to upgrade sometime.. I need a new desk, for instance..2 -
Not much, honestly! My "desk" is actually a really shallow IKEA shelf - for a while I had a small collection of game figurines, bobbleheads and snowglobes lined up next to and on the base of my monitor stand, but more recently I had to make room for a Raspberry Pi, emergency bottle of HP Sauce and a drinks coaster.
My desk is tiny. Also I'm almost out of HP Sauce, please send help. -
needed to find something on my desk but too lazy to get up. made a route and a view in laravel to display a blank white page to illuminate my desk lol4

!$rant
So, I finally got my duck! I´m going to call her Iris as Alfred already resides on my desk IRL. -
While doing an MVC application. My boss went to my desk.
Boss: all of our phones are down, can you call the support?
Kranz: (on my mind) you ask for the impossible bastard! -
Maybe I have selective tunnel vision... While I'm focused working the only thing I see on my desk is the monitor and keyboard...
