So, King's Cross is zero-indexed...

You know you're backend when it took you 30 minutes to program the inner workings of the platform... and 4 days to make it look pretty.

Saw an ad for Wix, went like this:

"You need a website, why not do it yourself?"

Aren't they advertising to NOT use their crappy platform?

Valid point!!!

When they ask a newb to design a core component that was supposed to be the basis of the platform

* my new blog

When you don't even have time for suicide, you're really quite busy. "Fuck. I can't kill myself today, I've got an appointment on Tuesday."

TO ALL GAME DEVELOPERS THAT ONLY DEVELOP FOR WINDOWS PLATFORM.

HERE IS A BIG FUCK YOU

Fuck. I wanted to go to sleep, and here I am browsing rants again and snickering like an idiot.

This platform is so much fun, I'm surprised it's not illegal already.

Hi this isnt actually a rant this is the girlfriend speaking (or typing hihi) i just wanna say how interesting this platform is. Bye 😊👋🏼

So devRant is an app I found while coming up with an idea to create a platform for developers to rant.....DAMN IT!!!

I work for a well known media company that owns a premium stock trading platform and I'm one of the developer who contribute to that platform.

When I told this to my family, they think that I'm doing this:

To Companies and Developer who go the extra mile to put Linux as a platform...

Legend say you can drive it on any platform... Air, water, road

Please stop asking your technical questions here, stackoverflow is a more appropriate platform for that

Don't you just love it when you're forced to write code for Linux based systems on a windows PC with no access to virtual machines and then have management get angry because it broke in production?

Starting a new side project, now I'm trying to decide on a language/platform like...

» Microsoft announced today that it’s joining the Linux Foundation as a platinum member, no less than 15 years after former CEO Steve Ballmer described the open source platform as “a cancer.” «

Oh well.

Devrant is the only social platform made to recognise the world's hidden heroes, us.

That moment when @dfox likes your comment and you feel successful in this social platform even though you're new.

Never try to learn a new platform that uses a language you are not really comfortable with while expecting to build something during an hackathon.
Never.

If you go to china, dont forget to take a VPN with you else you wont even be able to access this awesome platform...

After a week of using DevRant, it looks more like a book of jokes for developers, than a social platform for serious discussion of developers stuff. :(

Customer:
Our site is hacked, and that is because the FTP port is open to the world!

Me: Well, it is a shared hosting platform, it has to be. You should instead update your 7 year old joomla! site.

Had my pure PHP web app rejected on a market platform because I didn't use a framework..
BITCH IT WORKS PERFECTLY WITHOUT A FUCKING FRAMEWORK, IF YOU WOULD HAVE TESTED IT YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT!

So what's preventing me from launching my startup/service/platform to the public? Not ready to deal with users like Nancy.

Is it just me or are there many germans on this platform?

I was asked by a client to code review their platform built in PHP. The platform was becoming slow and new features built by their current IT supplier broke existing features.

I gained access to the source code... One PHP file (index.php) containing about 80K lines of code... I am impressed and disgusted at the same time. 😂

@dfox I really wanna thank you for this wonderful app..! An amazing platform to rant,share,laugh,learn ..what not for like minded people...You are so responsive towards users that you brought 'dark side' theme in jus few days ☺

Finally... did it 🤗🤗
I feel so happy 😘😘😍😍
Thanks again @dfox @trogus, and everyone for such a great platform 🤗🤗

When you are the only developer in your team and everybody thinks you are a master of all platform :/

Devrant, finally the social media platform that understands me, and keeps out all the leakage from Tumblr and Justin Bieber.

When something doesn't work you open a ticket on the ticketing platform. Today ticket platform was not working: Ticket-Inception

For a social platform for devs, I'm surprised there isn't support for `markdown`

I once saved lives sending cpr teams to heart attack victims through an sms gateway platform.

This was amazing considering it was back in 2008 ;)

My girlfriend is ranting about her work... It's a shame she isn't into tech or something like that.. If she would, I could show her the beauty of this online platform.

Confluence doesn't stop you from creating/enabling more users than your license allows. Instead they disable the entire platform until you fix the error they let happen.

Just a personal request to @dfox
Can you screenshot only the part of the behind the scenes code of devrant? Just the part of it.
I want to see the syntax and how the language is used.
Thanks.

I guess I could say back to the old LOGO turtle days, but it wasn't until university that I began using the good turbo c compiler and it's DOS platform

Exactly one year later: "We are finally about to launch the new platform"

Open source cross platform desktop client for tracking time

My whole team like to develop the backend of a very complicated platform in python because it is fast to develop. And host the front-end under nginx. And run everything on windows. And without unit test.

I like this platform... it's like Twitter and Slack hooked up for a night.

PM doesn't understand why we need to make a cross platform application for clients, when we only use Windows.

Hey new guy here!
@dfox and @trogus first thank you for this platform that helped gather this community. Second any news about new podcast episodes? I was really enjoying it!

When "uploading" to the testing platform means to copy and paste the code onto the platform

Skype is already lost to the MS darkness.

Some office incident reminded me of this old joke,

That awesome moment when a fiverr client wants you to develop a cross platform mobile application that would share your battery charge(actual battery electricity power) via Wifi/Bluetooth. That too for a budget of $5. 🙄

Anyone used Electron at all? What are your thoughts?

I am new to coding, and I am trying to find a platform to host my code. Should I choose GitLab.com or GitHub.com. Maybe the better question is: Will my code be as accessible on GitLab as it is on GitHub?

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.

when you spend a week implementing paypal subscriptions for your company's ecommerce platform and they tell you to scrap it because paypal doesnt allow you to configure a subscription contract after its been made

[Post marked as: devRant]
I think one of the weak points in the official devRant app is performance. That's probably due to the cross-platform stuff...

You see, if I shutoff 6 out of 8 cores on my CPU and force my GPU to only run at the lowest frequency possible, devRant gets HELLA laggy. However, games like Geometry Dash run just fine. No lag whatsoever.

It's not that bad though, just explains why devRant uses so much battery on some phones.

Student temp is 2/3 done his term, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't learned anything.

When I was a student temp, I built a video chat platform.

Modern cross platform mobile app development is a lie. Maybe if you do Apple first, I don't know. Maybe xamarin is better than Cordova, idk. I've spent more time tweaking to one platform than I would have just starting with a platform and writing two or three code bases. I've got more if iOS statements than I know what to do with and the Windows code is some hacky transpiled mess because UWP isn't ES6 ready for reasons. Also, some error and image handling just doesn't translate. All this and I've got significantly less features than I could have implemented in the same time writing in a native language.

Just so mobile devs know for their apps, what advertising platform helped attract the most users to the app for the most bang for your buck? Was it Facebook ads, Instagram ads, word of mouth, etc?

My only rant is that I've only now found out about devRant.

How did you guys find this platform?

Perhaps not the right platform for this but damn, this is so accurate.

Fucking SalesForce.. Nothing worse than spending hours figuring out what precisely you need only to find yourself on a "success" labeled rant platform where a customer rep acknowledges the problem and promises improvements....... 4 years ago

I was wondering that we, as a developer, got a platform like devRant to share ideas, talk about things that we like, can understand humour that will bounce out of any non-technical people.
In the entire world, there are so many profession (like doctors, corporate people and so on...,), without a good platform like devrant they are missing on so many things.

xamarin forms sucks..
Everytime I want some widget or something even simple, they tell me to use custom renderers (write it natively on each platform)..

so, how is that supposed to be cross-platform..
after all, like I always said, to use xamarin efficiently, you must have good knowledge on native development for each platform

I've seen a lot of stuff mentioned here from little hobby projects to Matrix. This might seem unreachable because it's just too utopic, but I'd really love to at least see the world using one single platform for software that would "just work™".

Like, here you have - simple glue lang, SDK with billion _useful_ libraries that also just work™ and no need to change the code too much or select an alternative function for each different platform e.g. via macros and one last wish - it'll work on every machine that's capable of running any code.

Maybe one day...

So, recently new CTO joined.
And suggested to migrate our entire platform on GO from PHP.

Do any of you know of a good lightweight cross platform GUI system that doesn't use C++, .NET or Node.js? I'm kinda tired of those three.
Bonus points if it's easy to learn.
Should be stand alone on the desktop.

We were to integrate our mobile apps with our company's analytics/tracking platform. So we asked the team responsible for said platform for some docs, API and such.

What we get was a js file and an instruction to put it in <head> section of a website.

Yes this is kind of a rant and will probably open a can of worms (Although I would hope people are civil with this)

Why the hell is the gaming community so volatile when it comes to discussing someone personal gaming platform whether it be a gaming PC, Xbox, play station or switch, I myself own a gaming pc yet I will choose to play a game on my xbox one any day of the week, I use my pc for mainly media consumption when programming and just generally for internet use.

Just curious if there are any developers on here who share my view that a platform is just a platform?

I work basically on native android applications. From last week I started exploring cross platform and chose React native. I have zero knowledge on JS. And now it seems very hard to grab.

Please suggest me a convenient way or guide me with some resources to alleviate my frustration! Pretty please!

I have a project idea that involves creating a cross platform gui but I cannot decide on a framework.
I have been toying with the idea of electron(ugh please no), c++ with either gtk+ or qt, Java with JavaFx.
I really want to be be able to create binaries for Mac windows and Linux while keeping bundlesize low and efficiency high. With this in mind I am leaning towards a c++ implementation but qt (which seems to be the best option for this route) has an insane learning curve. Is there something I am not thinking of that would satisfy these requirements?
