Designer: “it’s not cantered, it’s 2px too much to the left”
Me: *does nothing* “what about now?”
Designer: “perfect”
Yup. This IS the Truman show.17 -
Boss: Logo needs to be more grey. Touch it up in photoshop.

"Can you help me make an app? I've got this perfect idea, but I can't tell you what it is until you've said yes."
SIGH. I wish these people knew that perfect ideas are worthless, there are plenty of them. Perfect executions of good ideas are what has value.6 -
Guess who just pushed a whole week's work straight into production without a single damn test and everything works fine?😎😎😎19

Perfect job? Does it even exist?
We do a job because it's something others consider tedious or difficult or time consuming.
So my perfect job would be one that feels like a hobby every day and pays very well.12 -
I need 15 minutes to solve this bug.
... 3 hours later: I have no idea why my code doesn't work. :)1 -
There's this WebDesigner who wants every single website made pixel-perfect to his design.
We usually spend like 1 extra month on each website just because we can't do it pixel-perfect for each resolution
Now I'm working on yet another of his websites and his brother is beside me as a stagist
Am I allowed to insult the designer and swear against him every 5 minutes or so?5 -
😂😂😂😂 FB remined me it's been 5 yrs since some scammers tried to mess with me.. I just love the perfect english they used.. 😂😂😂😂😇

Often I look at my seemingly perfect code 30cm away from screen, mumble "WTF", while asking me why it is not working.
My boss might think I'm retarded... -
If I had a company. I would only accept code for application. Grades, gender, age... i couldn't care less7

"We should make something just like codewars... what should we call it.?" "How about codefights?" "Perfect."4

The saying "Perfect is the enemy of done" is so much BS.
The war on perfection is the enemy of artistic expression.
Look at old world architecture vs modern crap. Crafts are no longer a thing but stuff is only made as effeciently as it can be for the greedy and impatient.
The artists and craftsmen of old knew well that perfect was achievable and constantly strove to be more and more perfect in their arts and by side effect on themselves. In this mad world we've lost that to the pragmatists who see no value in the art of perfection or in those who do not value those who do.
The "doneists" can go fuck themselves. Perfectionism is where true artistic expression is at.14 -
So rant-ish question:
Since not much is happening around here, can ya’ll open source devRant so community can work on it? Seems like a perfect candidate for open sourcing.
The users of this app are perfect working on the app as well.14 -
Got a new job last October. And so far, I've nothing to rant about, it's absolutely perfect, too perfect.. Me scared of karma3

YEARS of practice. I had my ups and downs. I learned myself, left it myself early on, came back to it half a year later, continued since. Figured out that web development is not the hell I wanted and quickly fell in love with iOS development in Swift. Been riding on the wind ever since, learning something new every single day.
Today I made something that some time ago took me about 3 weeks in less than an hour. If that’s not an improvement, I don’t know what that is.
Practice makes perfect, don’t forget that. Although it sounds ridiculously cheesy and shit, this is how it goes.
I’m getting drafted tomorrow. Well, this is not exactly a full on draft and joining the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) right NAO, it’s what we call a rough draft: I am having a psychotechnical examination so the military can understand how much I need to go to a cybersecurity unit instead of going to Gaza LMAO.2 -

keep getting website designs made in InDesign with widths in pt units without any grid and the client complains the layout isn't pixel perfect when 1220pt width doesn't look the same on 1220px. i had to make the desktop layout 1626 px wide...3

Started my first job as an associate software developer. It feels great.
At this moment life is perfect. -
Shouting to my chromecast for more than a week because it kept crashing.
Factory reset -> total 1h re-configuring, works perfectly again. One hour was all that was needed.
I know the list with alternatives comes now, but I really see this as the perfect device. Does exactly what I want.
Damn, this experience made me violent as F.2 -
My best co-worker and teamplayer in games. Unlike like his stupid wireless brother, this buddy is cheap, super-efficient and literally a Genius with capital G.

I will do it on Sunday night. I said. It's 2:35AM. No power and presentation is in a few hours. Perfect. Just perfect!

Currently making a perfect sudoku webapp / plugin using native JS and html templates where I'm very enthousiast about.
It allows to select multiple cells and then put in a number and all selected have that number. It keeps state of every change, you can do unlimited redo's. Right click or double click someehere removes selection. Not built yet, but it will have a box where you can paste sudoku's you've found on the internet. I just parse 81 times [1-9] with regex. So all formats are supported including noisy ones as long the noise is not numbers. Making your own puzzle is very easy. Art is to make hard ones. I'm generating extra hard puzzles using C threading. For reference: there are 6,670,903,752,021,072,936,960 sudoku puzzles possible and from that I try to resolve the hard ones using simple human logging with brute forcing as fallback until it can use logic again. 30 million attempts to solve per secon. I should at some more logic. I don't do xwing or ywing, bs imho. You have to be a superhuman to spot xwing / ywing possibilities. I think i can imagine a better logic myself. We'll see.
And yes, that's a real screenshot. Puzzle is validated and it found issues. Marked with red font. Green is current selection by user

SponsorBlock for youtube changed everything for me. The perfect addition to my AdGuard and PiHole.6

My last job I worked with one other dev, she always thought her code was PERFECT and the way she did things PERFECT, she enjoyed pointing out flaws in my code or web sites in our big marketing meeting with out executives. Yeah won't miss her one bit

I fucking hate people who want to "perfect" his shit before push his code. Yes damn right. That means he doesn't fucking push his code until it's too late and his "perfect" shit will break everything. Not to mention the cry face he has when there are shitload of conflicts.

Windows update screwed up the wireless driver, just when I need the Wi-Fi connection most. Perfect!1

I installed VSCode in Linux. I keep finding thing about Linux that make me think its kinda shit. Maybe its just Gnome, but I don't know.
So I startup VSCode. Blank screen. I do a search and find its gpu shit. I start it up with argument to disable gpu accel. Then I go into settings and turn of gpu accel. It now works. Cool that it has these options.
What made me install VSCode. I installed VSCode because I wanted a decent json editor. I search for Linux json editors and I am bombarded by online editors being pushed by Linux websites. Who the fuck in their right mind is going to use a fucking website editor for json data?
I "had" a decent json editor by running notepad++ under wine. But since I turned on GPU in Linux Wine shit just doesn't work correctly anymore. Which is the whole reason I went looking for an editor.
How can a platform like Linux take itself seriously when turning on GPU accelerated drivers breaks every fucking thing in the OS?
Why did I enable GPU accel drivers in Linux? Because updating to 22.04 caused all my java apps to draw incorrectly. Enabling GPU fixes this shit. So I enable GPU to fix one thing and then it breaks a bunch of other shit.
This shit right here is why I have trust issues with Linux.6 -
"Delete all code!" That should be the mantra!
Was watching some stuff from destroyallsoftware.com. Not entirely convinced. So I should cook up my own shit.
So here is how the argument goes:
There's quite some negativity in the term "legacy" software. Partly it may be the envy to software that runs on actual machines and is not that phantasm, that perfect first lines on a greenfield project until it gets messed up as it has to put up with all the real world messiness. But the negativity it deserves is actually for the code that we cannot get rid of. This ugly class or function that soaked all the complexity and functionality so it defies any positive change. And always when it appears on your screen, it irks you, enrages you, makes you punch the screen, because you can almost feel the distaste physically. - *That* is the definition of "legacy" in its true negativity. No software should be like that. On the contrary. Every line should be replaceable, dispensable, disposable. At the verge to deletable. Because you know: the best code is no code.
This is where my hatred of code could get productive: Delete all the wretched, loathsome stuff and replace it, with something that just sucks less and can be thrown away any time. Don't expect beauty or perfect design. It'll never finish.3 -
Dev: check these out everything is perfect as usual
Tester: your last code behave like windows update dude -
"It needs to be pixel perfect"... Given single design for desktop (users use mobile app), with random spacing and inconsistent vertical and horizontal rhythm.

Working on programming a user interface so a user can select a line in a graph. I have a rotated mouse area to match that of the line to be selected. This mouse area can detect when a mouse enters the area. This seems to be working well. But then I noticed it was lopsided. Entering the area from one direction was not showing entry as soon as from another direction. Then I realized that the black border of the mouse was not being used to trigger entry into the area. It is the white area of the mouse tip that triggers this. The black area is only to provide contrast so you can see the mouse.
So on a mouse, and in mouse point selection on Ubuntu, the black border of the mouse only servers to provide contrast to the controlling white area of the mouse.

To me, Bayesian statistics make perfect sense in theory but no sense in practice simultaneously. 😐1

So i was wondering...
According to programmer, what features would the perfect backup software have ? 🤔🤔5 -
Hey y'all, does anyone have any good suggestions on how I can practice coding on an Android phone? I'll be travelling and don't have my laptop with me :/4

Elixir, Phoenix, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, ReactJS and Redux.
Anything missing on this stack to be perfect? 🤔6 -
I have never been able to find the perfect rollerball mouse. My Kensington is almost perfect but the click buttons don't work 100% of the time. Suggestions?
