Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and left him these notes.

*me coding in Atom in world history class*
*Teacher walks over*
Teacher: Are you on task?
Me: I'm taking notes.
Teacher: It doesn't look like it.
Me: I set a dark theme for Microsoft Word.
*Teacher walks away*

Teachers!

Why can't they just leave me alone!?

I was using my laptop. (Linux) and I have it set up so that I do basically everything from command line.

My teacher then walks by (he was checking on people) then he sees me.

I was using a split terminal setup with a client web browser and nano open. (I was taking notes)

He sees this and like all teachers, he immediately decides that I am hacking.

So.. I saw him and was like "fuck.. this will be interesting"...

To keep this short,

I got in trouble then he spent for ever telling me about how much trouble I could get in for using "that thing" (a terminal)..

I have lost hope in all teachers..

This isn't the first time too..

Slack update notes are by far the funniest out there.

Android app update available! I wonder what they've changed? 🤔

Changelog: "We improved the app and made it better."

Well thanks. 🖕

Finally, honest release notes!

"Sticky Notes have been updated. Restart now or later?"

Really Windows, really?
Sticky notes update requires restart..

Weekend work? Meh, made another good use of office supplies instead,

"Sure ill join the meeting it's not like I'm busy with the project's deadline being this Friday and all"
My notes from the meeting:

Commit notes like this....

I'm logging my DevRant time as training ... I read all these dumb things that people do, and make mental notes so that I don't do the same thing. Best. Training. Ever.

You might know by now that India demonetized old higher value notes and brought in new one. The new ones easily tear off easily and generally feel cheaper and less reliable than pervious ones.

One interesting thing people discovered is that rubbing it with cloth makes the ink transfer to the cloth. Sign of crap printing. Here's government response:
The new currency notes have a security feature called 'intaglio printing'. A genuine currency note can be tested by rubbing it with a cloth; this creates a turbo-electric effect, transferring the ink colour onto the cloth
TL;DR: its not a bug, it's a feature

My asshole coworkers talking about how programmers without a degree are worth shit and cannot achieve anything in industry besides working from startup to startup.

Well, surprise, I'm sitting right next to them, in the same big company and I don't have ANY higher education at all.

Just because I prefer more hands-on experience than theory stuff doesn't make me worse developer than those bastards. I just learn more from working on something, than from sitting in classroom and taking notes.

Fortunately people at HR and boss also valued my previous experience when they hired me, but now having to work with those guys every day is killing me.

I am sure Apple just hate web devs:

From the iOS 10 beta 1 release notes:

"To improve accessibility on websites in Safari, users can now pinch-to-zoom even when a website sets user-scalable=no in the viewport."

College notes war

*Me working on the security system of the notes app thingy*

"hmm, should check if a users' ip is valid, let's look for some online services..."

*can't find a good one without rate limits*

😞

*hold on, I wrote one myself 🤣*

I am so fucking retarded sometimes.

I was trying to get some cash from an ATM. Instead of vending bank notes as it should, this happened...

I still need that cash...

No I am not you fucking fucktard. Read my fucking profile or go fuck yourself with a fucking cactus!

Guy: I don't trust password managers
Me: so how do you remember passwords?
Guy: oh, I just keep them in a note in the iPhone notes app/iCloud.

My CS teacher gave us a PDF with basics of windows, what is mouse and keyboard, how to use it, how to use windows windows. We needed to make notes from that PDF.

So yesterday my girlfriend and me wanted to clean the apartment.

We ended up coding on a private project all day long... but at least we put //FIXME notes all over our place.

Let's see how today goes. ^^

My lead developer left on vacation for a week. Without notice to my boss and/or myself.

Well to be fair we did have the minimum which is a 2 day notice....

So what did we do? Well the boss and I acted like absolute adults and did what any other adult would do.

Me sticky noted the fuck out of his desk and screens.

4 screens full of sticky notes.

Phone is full of sticky notes too. And geez man....everything is sticky notes....so...many....sitcky...notes

This is the way to do it.

Take notes @theNSA @notNSA

Write.
Shit.
Down.

With a pad of paper and a pen, Fuck Evernote, Fuck Google Keep, Fuck your apps, Physically writing it down helps commit whatever it is to memory AND it makes managers happier when they see a pad of paper stuffed to the brim with scrawls, doodles, charts, notes and diagrams.

When in doubt grab a pen - your brain only has so much storage available at any given point.

"We have another major incident spinning up. QueenMorgana, are you free?" NO, I'M FINISHING UP THE NOTES FROM MY LAST TWO CALLS THAT JUST ENDED, WHY DON'T YOU CALL IN, LAZY FUCKWAD.

Why is it so damn difficult for my boss to cover a call when we're all busy DOING ALL THE LITTLE POINTLESS SHIT HE GIVES UP. He had me follow up from my coworker's call yesterday, not seeing the logic in, IF IT WERE STILL A FUCKING ISSUE, THEY WOULD HAVE CALLED US BACK THIS MORNING.

So now, I have to sit on the line AGAIN and take notes for shit that's not even a major issue BECAUSE IT'S BEEN DOWN FOR A WEEK. IF IT'S DOWN THAT LONG AND YOU DON'T SUBMIT A TICKET TO ME OR CALL OUR MAJOR INCIDENT LINE, I DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH TO RESPOND LIKE IT'S AN EMERGENCY.

Also, fucking lazy asswipe of a "teammate" bitching about being on a call for over 8 hours, while the rest of us are on back to back calls. He's never been on a long call and has been here a year longer than I have. I've been on a 14 hour and a 16 hour, and my other teammate has handled a 26 hour call. 8 HOURS IS FUCKING NOTHING AND YOU WORK FROM HOME SO DON'T EVEN HAVE TO WEAR PANTS.

**spilled 3 cups of coffee this morning, and have an expensive maintenance on my car today, likely to explode on just about everyone**

Working on the notes service and I'm still at the signup/login/password reset part.

Spending hours on thinking the process through, trying to think of any possible weaknesses in the system and writing patches right away.
I find it funny how thinking through every step (code-wise and user-wise) gives a very broad overview of how secure/insecure this thing is.

I fucking love doing this.

I love to take notes in markdown format. I use markdown for almost anything. I even write quiz for my students in markdown.

It is really painful to copy-paste so many questions & answers into moodle. To be honest, I hate moodle UI. But it is the most popular and easiest solution for e-learning.

So I spend some minutes to curse moodle, 2 hours to build a program to convert markdown into xml. And another 1 day to make LaTeX and image works.

I still hate moodle UI. But at least I don't need to deal with it for a long time. Just import the xml, create the quiz, and done :)

Ah, the program was written in Python. I really miss the old time when Python was cool, and javascript was nothing without JQuery....

No promise, no callback, just code it and run it :)

What an year ?
>MS VS on mac
>SQLServer on Linux :D

I have a friend that is a girl that loves to snapchat everything she does, the problem is that she now works (in apprenticeship) at a huge company and she snapchats her desktop who has a lots of post-it notes and her screen which is showing excel spreadsheets with customers data and stuff...
And she does this on a regular basis btw
Who can be possibly that dumb...

When your girlfriend takes notes for you over the phone so you don't forget it before you get home.

Anyone else jot down notes on small pads of graph paper?

See the notes.
He was really high I guess

MS should employ a person who just scrolls through devRant and notes all the bugs and problems

Lotus notes (or IBM Notes, as it is now called).

It is so efficient at frustrating you that when it hangs that it often requires its own dedicated task killer (killnotes) instead of Windows Task Manager.

I was writing some notes for my therapist and I caught myself writing Stack Overflow instead of Sensory Overload 😑😑😑

Fellow developers, take notes:

(Monday)
Me: I'm gonna be gone the next few days and you take care of this? I have these notes if you have questions.
Dev: Sure.

(Friday)
Me: Did you take care of it?
Dev: I had a question.
Me: Okay, did you check the notes.
Dev: They didn't address my question. (Proceeds to ask question)
Me: Let me show you my notes where I answered it.
Dev: Oh sorry.....

The notes in the code

I love my dad 😂. I asked him on WhatsApp if he could send me his Location... He sent me an Image instead of the GPS Location.

It happens at the worst times, if it wasn't for post it notes I'd be dead.

A meeting, non-technical PM to me:
"Could you borrow me your laptop? I haven't taken mine and want to make some notes."
"Yeah sure" I said, launched some text editor and turned the laptop to her side. During this motion other colleague had chance to glance at the screen. His eyes opened wide with mix of horror and WTF look:
"What the... That's really not good idea."

Turned out I was in complete autopilot mode and pressed Win key, entered "gvim", accepted by enter.

I've launched Vim.
To a non-technical person.

Who else is using Notepad++, Sublime, Atom to write notes?

Oh, well, of course ...

I thoroughly enjoy that both Google apps have different bullet point styles.

my industrial design lecturer keeps these sticky notes attached to the palmwrest of his laptop permanently, and I always wondered what was on it.

well today was the day I found out... its his fucking iCloud password😧

Using vim inside the terminal to take text based notes for school is kinda like having a Ferrari just so you can use the radio.

Some great release notes!

Rs 500 and 1000 notes are banned in India in order to curb black money.

Bankers will now get to know what is 1 day development and deployment along with support from the next day.

#ITprofessionals.😂😂

Invaluable piece of information and favor to successors🤣

Instead of using OneNote, Evernote, etc I'm thinking of using a git repo where I would write notes, save bookmarks, links, information, everything with markdown.

How many of us use sticky notes while programming.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

I cannot wait to leave my job. I love my bosses, but the customer service people are the fucking worst!

Since I'm the only developer day in and day out I hear the same problems of people forgetting how to do so something over and over and over. Then they yell at me because they say I don't train them enough.

I WASTE 8 HOURS A WEEK RETRAINING YOU SHIT HEADS BUT NONE OF YOU TAKE NOTES IN THE MEETINGS!!!! ITS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU THINK YOU PEA SIZED BRIAN WILL REMEMBER ANYTHING!

AND ITS NOT LIKE THE SYSTEM IS HARD! THERE ARE TOOLTIPS AND CUSTOM ERROR MESSAGES THAT YOU JUST CHOOSE NOT TO READ!

I am just so burned out of answer the same damn questions day in and day out

I had this one teacher that sucked some serioud dick. She refused to teach us what she was supposed to... Java.

Her teaching habits include: talking about her life problems for the whole class until the last 5 minutes to actually teach us knowledge that usually ended up being useless, refusing to answer questions and demanding that we use Google instead, and worst of all... the way she checked our programs to see if they would work. The absolute FIRST thing that she would do when she sat down at our computer, was open up our code, to see if it looked EXACTLY like her fucking code. She wouldn't even check if it worked first...

Honestly, teacher's like this completely piss me off and the students of this class learned more from the students with pre-knowledge than they did from studying the notes that the teacher gave in the last five minutes of class.

It's Google again.

With the new feature where one can see the latest release notes and update information on 'update screen' of Play Store app.

Buggers don't even provide release notes or keep the ones for years without having user to know what shit has been added or removed.

So my OCD kicks in today morning and I decide to update all the apps.

Well, Google Maps has an update for me. So I proceed to read the update information and bang! 💥

'No information has been provided by the developer'.

What??!!!!

Firstly Google never mentions the release notes and now is unable to handle the mistake correctly.

Why wouldn't they give the update notes??

Fuck this!

I am working on this project for school where I am building a simple 8-bit keyboard thing.

It works for about a day. Perfect.

I was about to put it all away and leave for the day. Then it starts playing random notes and doing random things on it's own.. I was like WTF!??!!

I just unplugged it and put is away (I was too lazy to fix it)

Now I am back at it again and have taken the entire thing apart and rebuild it 2 times.

Then I find the problem...

I forgot to ground a button.

Fuck.

So now I am just sitting here staring at a wall and have completely given up on it.

Btw.. you can check out my mess of undocumented code on GitHub

Ewpratten/ArduinoKeyboard

Parked the car in a parking lot 15 mins before job interview. Plenty of time to spare.

Go to pay for parking.

Ticket machine doesn't accept cards. Fine, I have notes.

Ticket machine doesn't accept notes. Shit, I need to go get change quick.

FUCKING FUCKER DOESN'T ACCEPT £1 COINS WELL WHAT THE FUCK TO YOU ACCEPT THEN YOU FUCKING FUCK I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR MY JOB INTERVIEW OR GET A £80 FUCKING PARKING FINE

The company wants me to attend a meeting while expecting to finish coding. So i just code in a meeting pretending i was taking down notes.

Hello everyone! First rant, didn't know what to post about for the longest time, but have this thing. We were allowed to take some notes into our programming exam. This happened somehow. If you start writing really fucking tiny, then notice there's a bunch of free space left, then in the actual exam end up using it once or twice max. Anyway, hi!

My ex-Physics teacher didn't have a towel with him today 😢

Btw I left this on the library "core" computer

some inspiration to ignite your inner spark.

#Amazon release notes #killer note

When you haven't touched a project in a month and you decide you need to get back into it.

I have pages of dated notes, pseudo-code and function in the still need written. I have about 75% of the actual code up and functional, but I have no idea what I was working on when other things got in the way. I've been staring at this mess that I swear was once organized and made total sense and I'm completely lost.

Why do our brains do this!!

... And it's only Tuesday...

Anyone else use notepad to write down quick notes and reminders?

What do u have open when coding?

Me (PHP/NodeJS web development on a Mac):

CODING & TESTING
- MAMP PRO
- PhpStrom
- Navicat (for localhost MySql DB)
- Chrome
- Terminal

COMMUNICATION
- Slack
- Mail
- Messenger (for Google Chat)
- WhatApp Web
- Calendar

NOTE TAKING
- Evernote
- TextWrangler (for quick notes)

Another funny release note.

Taking a class on C and machine-level code for school and I have my final tomorrow. After the entire semester, people are still posting questions to piazza asking how strings work and other students are giving wrong answers. Not to mention all of the correct answers are posted in our lecture notes and countless places online. Seriously people, why are you a CompSci major if you can't even figure out how you declare a string after 10 weeks of coding?

Actual patch notes from one of my companies repos.

when client sits through a 2h explanation/tutorial for his new CMS and doesn't take any notes.

2 days later, ask where to go to add a product.

Knowing the Linux command line saved my bacon!

I was on a plane, unable to connect to wifi, and needed to take a note... while not having any note taking applications or text editing applications on my phone. but what I DID have was a terminal application.

So, I made a file in my documents folder and echoed my notes into the file! A bit longer and more complicated than it needed to be, but it worked when I needed it to!

Loving Shifty Jelly for their release notes 😁

Anyone else debug code in their sleep? It typically happens when I'm up late thinking about what could possibly be wrong until I fall asleep. I've started taking notes on my phone as soon as I wake up so I don't forget any possible ideas.

Went to the ATM to get some cash.. entered an amount of 800 INR and to my surprise got an error saying "Your account does not have sufficient funds for this transaction" .. Instantly thought that my account has somehow been compromised.. checked the bank app and found out that I everything was normal..

As it turns out the ATM machine did not have 500 or 100 INR notes, thus it could not dispense my requested amount..

Now that's what we call a "Good" error handling..

The moment you realize how much you rely on keep to take notes 😓

Lotus Notes anyone?

I've fallen in love with the EPIC games launcher, it not only shows you detailed information about download, read and write speeds, but also the distribution of operations! Never have seen that in a game launcher, steam blizzard origin etc should take notes!

What I don't understand is why it is so hard for some seniors to just let me jot my notes down, I get it you're busy but if you just let me write down certain key words, I will never ask you this question again, I am nervous cause I had to bug you for help so my mind is not taking anything in, its freaking out cause you're making it so clear I am a bother! So I'm gonna go back to my desk without notes and no idea of what you just tried to tell me.... It was never a problem for my first senior, and he even became my mentor! In a question of 6 months he could go on holiday cause I could handle all his responsibilities until he came back with my trusty note book in hand... So why are you telling me to stop making notes!! It works for me so leave me be!! - sits at desk, pondering why I exist - 😖

Good sticky notes ever...

My friend told everyone in my school class that i programm...
And now they are asking, can you do this and that and what for specifications should my PC have to run this game...

help

I'm about to finish a website where people can upload their university notes and download others in exchange. In the future I'll try to upgrade it to an academic hub or something like that.

So you want to write some notes on your surface pro 3...

Windows 10: UPDATE TIME!

Me after two minutes:

This day is fucked.
At my CS Class my teacher gave us a pdf to make notes about basic Windows stuff like moving files to a directory, how to use a mouse and basic shitty windows stuff, that I knew when I was 5. I hate her. As for homework, she gave us to make a audio recording, make squares and elipses in paint. And make a business card in wordpad. But here is the catch. I don't have Windows laptop. I have Macbook Pro and I'm not planning to install that shitty os there. So what I did was use nano for the business card, illustrator for paint stuff, then photoshop for convertion to bmp (required format) and for the recording I will use audacity. Please tell me if you had worse cs class than me.

So I am going to talk about interviews from a different perspective, the being on the question side of the technical interview.

We have had four interviews for a single Senior Dev position. I threw some very hard questions at the people and some very easy ones. The thing that amazed me was that people actually went for an interview when they where woefully under qualified.

The latest in this list was someone who didn't understand how inheritance works for object orientated programming, and when I asked him something very specific he needed to look at his notes...

The person that I felt did the best on the interview was the person that didn't have every answer but said clearly that he didn't know and talked about his ability and desire to learn. The people that failed the worst were the ones that were certain, arrogant, and wrong.

Technical interviews are fun 😏

Dat moment when your contact person phones you and ask If you delete the whole Release Folder...

YEAH SURE I WAS IT BECAUSE I LIKE TO WORK ON WEEKEND

Fyi: FTP with one user for everyone - harhar stupid bricks

Lotus Notes Lotus Notes Lotus Notes Lotus Notes Lotus Notes....

What I really hate....is Lotus Notes!

Damnit...

I'm kind of a perfectionist, which is one of the reasons why I don't post here very often.

I think that my posts have to be the most hilarious or creative ones to even be bothered to be read by anyone.

Now.. I'm kind of not sober, so I'll just write some idéas, jokes and rants in notes on my iPad.. Sleep, and get drunk again tomorrow and maybe post them...

Or maybe just delete this post and be ashamed tomorrow?

I at least posted this under the "Joke/Meme" tag so that people won't be offended, hopefully, by this "none-rant".

@students
What laptops are you using for university?
I think about getting the HP Spectre x360 15', so I will also have the ability to take notes with a pen on the device. I guess that will be quite useful because I want to try to use paper as less as possible... Let's see how that will work out.😂

Do you have any other recommendations?

• Plan out everything by taking notes on the rough functionality of the project and how it could be done in a preferably simple way
• Writing code, but documentating it while doing so
• Also trying to write clean code so it can be more easily built upon
• Also keeping everything simple. If I'm using nasty, unreadable one-liners because of efficiency advantages, I'm putting a comment there for what could alternatively be used + explaining it
• Abandon it because side projects never get done

To all c# developers:
What is your favorite IDE for c#?

Anybody else physically write notes when studying a new programming language? I do it because it really helps solidify the information in my brain and also makes for good reference.

Boss: some consultants worked on this feature extending some legacy code
Boss: it's 90% done
Boss: they used FTP. It uses iframes and we fired them when they couldn't get the frontend modules working in sync with the backend.
Me: git checkout -b herewegoagain
git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r 666w3wl4d
*copy output list of files to sublime text 3; select all lines; add to each:
gitk --follow [filename] > src/.notes/herewegoagain/[filename].diff
*examines....
Me: It's -10% done. you'll know I'm almost done when I enter the fugue state. You'll find me at this address. Give me this USB stick and a 4 pack of redbull and I'll do the merge.

pi-hole knows my addiction

When your users are this dumb, it's hard to decide between making things obvious (but inviting potential errors) vs. adding a step to reduce the chance of errors (but potentially confusing people).

It would be easier if people actually read release notes...

Only if people understood the amount of effort that goes behind building a simple app.
Even if it's a simple notes app, I've to design the UI (at least 2 different activities - 1 for the list and the other for editing notes), write the code which makes it run i.e. without which the app is just a piece of empty design, think about what data
structures to use (that notes you are saving need to be stored somehow) and then club everything together and hope nothing breaks (spoiler alert: something will definitely break).

People need to understand that it's not just putting some fancy buttons and boxes around. Also, I'm not just making the app for one device. I've to make sure it works on different screen sizes, different versions of the OS (a user can't imagine how many functions need to be re written because something got deprecated in the process and I'd to switch to something different).

Also I'm not just sitting at my computer and converting coffee to code. I've to think about the flow, structure, design, navigation, backend etc. Of the app; most of my time isn't spent writing code but thinking/studying how to write the code. I also need to wait while the project is compiling/building every time I want to test it.
A function which you think is hard to implement night be really easy while something you claim is easy might be a nightmare. Oh and I didn't even mention how I need to stick to some design guidelines to make the app look consistent with the rest of the OS.
If you're wondering why a developer is spending most of his time on a browser, he isn't playing internet games or browsing reddit ( at least you better hope not), he's probably looking at the docs/stack overflow to get something to work/fix something!

Wow! That was long. Thanks!

I just wanted to make with the Spotify API an online player. I sat 2 hours and still can't figure out how to center a fucking unordered list which is horizontal aligned
FUCK CSS

Happiness is: scrolling through the release notes of a software you use and unexpected finding your changes mentioned there 😊

Wait. A Raspberry PI just Costs 30-40€? I thought a Raspberry Costs 300€ lmao

Classmates? More like FUCKING PARASITES!

I work in a group on for on the notes using google docs, for realtime collaboration. WE spend lots of hours in school making them something. Then share it with one good friend and BANG the whole class has them, even though he was not supposed to share it. AND DO YOU EXPECT ONE OF THEM EVEN THANKED US FOR THE WORK WE PUT IN THERE MAKING THESE? The most I heard were fucking complaints. I should let the sniff a razerblade for each complaint and hope they improve their brain capabilities to the level of 0.

Was assigned a project for my degree with 2 others. I was only one Who knew coding and development. 1 guy spent 5 months on YouTube and other one corrected my papers grammar and stressed out notes while I did everything else in development. Came out with an A, but pissed at YouTuber.

Email chains, screenshots shared in google docs, two comments per 1k lines of code, and sticky notes are sufficient documentation, right? RIGHT?

Had a scheduled call to interview a dev contractor. He told us any typing noise we hear is just him taking notes. Ok. After several questions the long awkward pauses, typing and furious mouse wheels make it evident he's a liar and looking up answers.

Still managed to tank the interview and wasted our time.

I sure hope that wasn't one of you guys.

Opening a new file for notes and keeping it open without saving. I will just add things to it until it's HUGE. Then i have to go through it...

I know there are different ways of learning programming, but I see students actually taking notes from a programming books and highlighting important bits with a Pilot marker. (and they're not reading fundamental stuff)

Just fucking code something.

I finally heard a retarded question on a job interview. I thought they were just jokes.. I was wrong!
What kind of a question is "how would your friends describe you?"..
They'd say I'm fucking awesome, did you expect a different answer?
Or when I gave them a referral, my previous boss, and they asked me what would he say about me.. well fuck me sideways, I have no idea.

And one of the last ones, "tell us your three top qualities that would make us hire you". What kind of information does such a question even give them? Are they testing me how well I can lie? Because I can't, and others that can lie will give a better answer, regardless of the reality.

And they were even taking notes after these questions.

Other than that, nice company. I really want to start working there soon.

Lotus Notes is absolutely the worst platform known to man. Every time a ticket comes in I want to set the Domino servers on fire.

small victories... leaving little fuck you notes all over the code..
along with all the test cunts that still get incremented on the production..

When the keyboard legs don't align equally anymore, and you put post it notes under one side to make it even.

But its never the same...

So now i have Linux installed everything is better than Windows but i want to program in c#... Should i use a VM or a Dual Boot with Windows and KDE Neon?

Scriblet is a post it note like application to replace windows sticky notes

I found these notes from myself 6 months ago to my future self:

// may delete this, now it's in join profile
require('./configure/auto-confirm.js');

// may delete this, now it's in join profile
require('./wso/wso-email-ad-form.js');

I don't trust it. Not deleting.

Passive aggressive commit notes should be mandatory, such a good stress reliever and conversation starter.

Somebody Make this:
Imagine a sticky note kind of app, that has a twist. It is tied into your browser. So the notes are viewed based on urls or websites. This way you could visit a website, drag a sticky note on to it, type what you want, then that note will pop back up the next time you visit that site. I think it would be a nice things to use for programming (API assistance), simple note taking, or specific reminders you want to see the next time you visit a website. Get what I'm saying?

I've pressed ctrl+enter and inadvertently sent 3 emails before I've finish d writing them today, all because our ERP requires ctrl+enter to create a new line in its notes fields.

I was just in a meeting. Making notes on my phone. Appearently coworker thought i was on FB or something and asked if i could focus. I was just making notes?!
He felt pretty stupid :)

Ever since I started with websecurity I've noticed alot of people still use passwords such as 123456 or abcdef and so on. I mean is it really so damn hard to figure out a more complicated password like, "IDigAGrave34+" or "IFuckedBaTmanInTheAssetsi1369" (a very long but yet secure pass). Or just use any word you see around you and mix them like for example if you have a dell pc and a samsung screen, those two names are pretty easy to scramble around like, "desamllsung" and sprinkle some random characters above it. If it is so hard to remember just write it down on notes and hide somewhere or use the countless programs where u can store it. So please for the love of your own privacy, think when you create an account and do not use the same pass on every damn site you are on. Make it hard for the hackers and crackers out there. Sincerily, a concerned internet user.

devs notes

All my projects

Maybe when you release an update, the release notes should match the updated version?

@dfox devrant sticky notes everywhere!

Kinda sad when 'Google Play Games' has better update notes than the rest of the G Suite....

Using post-it notes for todo lists and never look back at them.

WHY DOES GOOGLE CHROME CACHE THIS SHIT AND WON'T LOAD IT AGAIN. I THOUGHT I DIDN'T FIX THE BUG BUT GOOGLE CHROME IS THE BUG. THIS FLYING FUCK

whats the average age on devrant?

I have a 1yr old and have seen Moana about 1k times. These release notes are gold! 🤣

I found this in my notes. Apparently, I wrote these during work in my last company.

Our class has a google docs document where we take notes for our technical subjects. I sneaked in a little note about git: "git push -f" is the recommended programm when pushing to origin for a smoothless workflow.

Let's see how many sheeps follow my instructions blindly😈

I'm programming since a year and today i made my first hello world

androidx.activity 1.0.0-alpha01 release notes:

"Pending input events (such as clicks) are now canceled in onStop()."

Welcome in 2018! It just took 10 years to fix this ... better late than never 👍

I was thinking about masters in computational neuroscience, so I revisited the lecture notes I took as an undergraduate during intro courses. This shit fucks you so hard it deserves its own porn category somewhere between fisting and DP.

When I started working as designer my boss at that time liked to invite people to remote control me, sit or stand behind my neck to explain their will and tell me to do this, "can we try this?", "can it be changed to another color?", "is it possible to move logo to the left?" and all that m*f*cking shit.

It didn't take long before I decided that I wouldnt accept that anymore.

They come with that energy, that illusion of power to play god with your fast mouse...

The first solution was to stand up with them around the chair and tell them I would take notes, then do the changes and mail them. That worked but sometimes it didn't feel right for the boss who got mad and tried to handle the mouse like trying to pretend she was going to do it...

In case the visit was by surprise I used this method, not sitting in worst position. Just recover dignity standing to their commaning stance.

The best and what became the real solution was printing things we needed, receive and guide clients to a meeting room where we would discuss things and take notes on the papers.

Lotus fucking Notes..

My hardware professor from first year at uni

He wasn't the best lecturer (which he openly admitted), but he was always willing to go an extra 10 miles to help you out, including essentially writing up the entire module into a nice document (70 pages long!) so we'd have good notes to revise from

My laptop has its own life...
I arrived at the lecture, start the laptop, black screen... Alrighty, might be the update from yesterday, I will just revert to the old version. Nothing... After multiple reboots and troubleshooting, I put my laptop down and go the old way of sitting down notes.

Then I come home after university and I'm set on fixing my laptop. I start it, it works perfectly fine...

I'm not even sure what fixed it..

WRITING CODE ON PAPER...smh

I know many people wrote about this already, but writing code on paper is one of the worst things of a CS class. I’d rather get a computer with no internet access and use a notes app to write code instead of having to write everything by hand. It takes so much more time that you could spend thinking about the problem. Not only that but also my hand gets tired of writing...ughhhh

I need to convince my teacher and the school to switch to writing code on computers! I will not loose this battle ahah

Does anyone else have a major problem with over thinking debugging or like the code to write in general?

I spent 10 minutes the other day reading over 6 lines of code only to realize 2 words were capitalized when they shouldn't have been.

Wednesday night, i was doing my CS homework. The question wanted me to swap variable values using a third variable. I stared at it for 30 minutes scratching my head. (I did Google it and read the notes I took.) And when I saw the solution, it was so simple that I face palmed really hard.

Thanks to a fellow ranter who triggered my PTSD, I will ha e to go with not only the worst, but also most evil piece of software ever conceived: MOTHER FUCKING LOTUS NOTES

Today I'll visit a university and get a little taste of what they're teaching. The sad part is that the interesting courses are all at the same time.

What on earth is "Computerlinguistik" (computational linguistics)?

And I'm not sure where to go other times as well because literally NONE of these 7 parallel courses are of any interest for me. I'll probably go in Germanistik and Linguistik (german and english) since the IT stuff and financial explanations when studying are all at the same time. Who organized that shit...

Other than that, I hope I'll not get lost on the campus and have enough energy on my phone to distracted me of boring co- I mean taking notes, obviously

Also 3h on the bus. Yay.

Looking through my tablet notes found this gem: Another failed attempt to learn webdev...

I'm reading (deciphering) the clients notes for modifications to their app and explaining to my PM what they want. At one point, he stopped me and said "How the fuck are you doing that? I don't understand how you can make those connections. Brilliant." 😂

NO NO NO this can't acctaully be real i accidentally deleted the whole /root folder NO I FUCKING DUMBASS.........

Thanks to @bittersweet I found and tried _Notes by Firefox_. An awesome app, wich I definitely will keep and use.

I love the markdown support.
I love the synchronisation.
I hope they will add access-controls, so I can give other users access to my notes.

Sry, for the advertisement.

IBM Notes. Ultimate example of developers each working on their own bits of functionality with zero thought to how the whole thing fits together. Just need to look at the preferences page see what a mess it is.

During the "how to install WordPress" the professor tells us to use the root user of the database.... Wooooooo yeah! Let's get fucked!

And he never even notes to them "DON'T use root in production!"

I can just imagine every one of the 40 people in attendance that day wondering how their website could POSSIBLY get hacked...

And they are are going to entering the industry, some of them as freelancers from the onset, thinking all that is ok.

C# design meeting notes. I love knowing what's gonna come and setting the decisions being made 😁

(This wasn't me)

Funny how I can go all day not being able to think of anyone that bad, but then when I remember THAT ONE GUY from a group project in college, I can't stop ranting.

highlights:
- He micromanaged our group without adding any value on his end
- Scheduled 2 hour meetings on Friday evenings to show us his work so we could "learn and take notes"
- when the group finally reached out and asked if we could work differently, he completely shut down. like stopped replying and working completely.
- last night we were putting together our presentation, he bailed because he had an 8-HOUR date with someone he just met....nevermind that we had our calendar set a month prior
- prior to that date, he submitted code to our final release that was riddled with bugs, so I stayed up all night debugging and rewriting his parts

</rant>

I'm prepping for my psychology exam and I'm typing notes with Word.

Almost every bullet point ends in ";".

Well...at least my headings aren't wrapped in <h1> tags...

fuck..fuck..FUCK..FUCK YOU MANTIS!!!
fuck you and your fucking invalid security token... fucking cunt...
yeah i love extracting my notes from POST data via the browser dev console cause you fucking delete it when hitting the back button...
THANKS FOR NOTHING

Most successful project at work: NodeJS utility for storing loads of measurements from an application running on various other systems and providing fast ways of getting at that data. No DB, just CSV files broken into time periods. Also has a search function written in C that can very quickly find all user sessions matching the criteria. It's not perfect, but it does the job pretty well and I can tweak the storage engine as much as needed for our use case since its all custom written.

Outside of work: Incomplete right now but I soldered some wires onto an old sound card and managed to get an Arduino to configure it and play some notes on its FM synthesis chip. Still quite a newbie to electronics so this was quite an achievement for me personally.

I've got quite excited that they changed a program at my university and they decided to put python instead electronics at first year. My younger friend came to me with notes from the lectures and asked for help. It seems that my university thinks that starting learning programming with overloading operators at first class is a good idea and they say that python 3.x isn't used widely yet, so they will stick to 2.7 during course.

1.
Never programmed something useful because i have no ideas...

2.
Never used comments in my projects

Anyone else have 100 .txt files on the computer called note(54).txt? Or TODO(32).txt? Yeah... Someday I will compress them into one so I don't miss something important for work. Why don't we have issue tracking?!?!

So I got bored while taking notes for driver's ed

Has someone an idea why KDE Neon has this buggy text rendering and how to fix it? Google is not my friend with this problem.. It's often the text which is buggy but sometimes everything else is buggy too..

I want to switch from Windows to KDE Neon. Do you have some tips? Because it's my first Linux installation and i don't want to make something wrong :)

Finally my stickers arrived yeaah! But where do i stick these Stickers to?

Ok GCSE finals are coming up and I take ICT. literally it's harder to fail than pass this subject. But some how half the class is failing it. One of the topics that a lot of the class are struggling with is web development. Honestly all you have to do is add 2 images and some text and you have 10 marks it's stupidly easy. So at the end of the class the teacher handed me some notes on web development that he thought might come in handy. Knowing me I just chucked it in my bag never to be seen again mainly because I already know a lot about web development and a lot of the time he's asking me why his code isn't working and I'm there mumbling "you forgot a semi colon" or something like that. So when I got home I decided to take a look at these notes and honestly this made my day

I can't decide which linux distro i should use...
Should i take Kubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu 18.04?

Why do some people not take notes... 😒😒😒

How long do you recommend 'sticking it out' in a new role? I moved 2,500km for a new job and so far I have been training on the worst development platform I have ever seen, produced diagrams, printed documents and taken meeting notes 😡. #IJustWantToProgram

Fucking exam on Electronic Building Blocks... (aka Arduino). Program this thing ON GODFORGOTTEN PAPER! And then these retards put in that assignment line: max 5 lines of code, for a function that does nothing more than divide two shit eating numbers! And half of my apparently vegetative class fails this! When you were allowed to use your book and notes!

Oh and also, here's a seemingly pissed over image of an arduino with some peripherals, draw the wires. Draw! How the fuck do I keep 21 cocksuffocating wires on a page without overlaps or unclarity?

Updated a lotus notes task not knowing that it would execute when saved. Emailed 3k people.

I should use TODO in my code rather than notes in my desktop 🆗

I keep a blogger for tech notes for programs and settings that were difficult problems or took up a lot of time to find the solution or so I can remember years later if I ever return to those programs. Just in case to save myself and others time. It's kind of like an adventurer's log: I've gone through these stretches of technological wilderness and here are my findings, should one day you happen upon them.

I am working on a small project to help out a small theatre group. The guy who created their website decided to create it with horrible UI and UX. I plan to confront him with notes on how to improve the overall experience of navigating their website and if all goes to plan, I will help rewrite the entire website.

Good Feeling at the moment. Showered, Shaved, Coffee, Nothing to do to day

I hate filling out status reports, so I build a generator which collected all the data from the dev and ticket systems and formatted it so all I had to do was copy the output and then provide “management friendly” notes.

So I started using word pad recently to write quick notes down and everyone near me started looking at me like I just insulted their ancestors. Don't really get why people are so crazy over what someone else uses for taking simple notes. Notepad is too basic with limited formating (cant bold underline highlight etc), word is too bloaty and can't stand autocorrect errors when jotting stuff down in a hurry. This is a Windows device (inb4 iNsTaLl LiNux)so I don't care for any 3rd party software to take the place of something with basic functionality.

"OH USE SUBLIME OR VISUAL CODE REEE"

..or I can just use whatever the fuck is convenient at the time for me?

Saw this in the shop. No way I was going to walk out without getting my hands on it! 😁

Reading through old post-it notes and found a TODO that says "fix code" with no indication of a project it refers to lol

Notepad++. It's good for editing multiple types of files with syntax highlighting. Also doubles as a place for jotting down notes/thoughts without worrying about saving them.

So I was wondering, in this era of technology, with so many tools and options to take and share notes, who does still prefer to take notes on paper?

While I use tools like Trello to list all the tasks with the team, for my own notes I use paper sheets, as I find easier to check on them.
Besides, if I'm stuck with something, I can doodle a bit (I even use a pencil instead of a pen :p)

Wife started to remind my of features required for next deploy. Pushes me and motivates. At this point I am afraid to use my whiteboard I use for quick tasks and feedback notes

Alright. So bye bye to sticky notes. I finally started using Wunderlist app.

No more handwriting I guess :-/

When the update schedule for a service you rely on involves sending release notes for major (sometimes breaking) updates on Saturday...in preparation for a release first thing on Monday morning.

On Fridays I always write notes to my future self when I leave in the middle of something. I always start these notes like this:

Dear Future fyroc,

You are awesome!

When you take down important notes on an unreliable digital media and lose them...

Started a new role as a single handed Dev/analyst in a small company. Discovered by predecessor had left no handover notes on his (unnecessarily complex) weekly reports, or indeed on the table structure of any of the systems.

The three weeks into the role the managing director gets sent to prison!
For fraud.

I left...... quickly.

So I just noticed while looking at our release notes, we got some new members of our Shanghai team. Their English names are:

Paul, Jonas, and ....
...
...
...
...
Elvis

Every time I see his name I sort of chuckle...

I'm trying to install my SSH Server and nothing works. I think i've seen every SSH Stackoverflow site and i'm still too dumb :C

I don't think it should take "years" to develop a card sorting mechanism.
Android devs do you agree?
( This is picked up from the release notes of Trello. )

I want to start with Arduino stuff.
Some tips which board i should buy?
Or some tips for a Hello World or something like this?

Am i a fucking peace of shit or is installing MySql one of the shittiest things?

I'm a hobby programmer and i don't hav any programming ideas! How do you all get programming ideas?

Fun day at work.
Client sends me requirements over WhatsApp voice notes.
Says he can't send email because hes too tired.
His Requirements don't make sense.

I figured out what he wanted and then rewrite the requirements using simple language and less jargon.

Hes not happy. I reduced two paragraphs of his "requirements" to a single sentence which make more sense.
His voice notes seem like rambling.

Ugh.
He comes up with features for this webapp that cannot be tested unless you build the companion app which is coming up later.

Now he wants us to design the screens for the app which we will have to use our designer for.
Expensive. Considering most of his app is not completely thought out.
I have no idea what to do now.
We still haven't completed the requirements.
