Ranters this week

!rant
Happy holidays ranters!

Hey everyone! @trogus and I are headed to TechDay New York tomorrow (May 10) and there will be a devRant booth in the social network section. If any devRanters are attending, you should definitely stop by our booth! There will be free swag and we’d love to meet some fellow ranters!

I've been on devRant long enough that I'm getting familiar with some of the more frequent ranters here. I imagine it's been done before, but I'd like to put some faces to the names.

So post them mugs in here, fellas!

Here's me with my daughter (turns 1 next week!), taken last Saturday.

Everytime I throw my stress ball (and miss...because sports are hard) at a co-worker, they ALWAYS think I'm throwing an orange at them.

Okay, we all ranters love pizza, right?

TIL something that we should ALL keep in mind while buying pizza.

One 18 inch pizza has more pizza than two 12 inch pizzas.

if ((3.142*9*9) > (2*3.142*6*6)) {
return buyPizza(18inch, 1);
} else {
/* stop being an imbecile. This is dead code */
}

It was great meeting some fellow ranters of this awesome community! Thanks for the nice evening and special thanks for @linuxxx for the ducky 😄

Happy Easter fellow ranters

DevRant uses *coding* and *algorithms* to humiliate ranters

TFW devRant is more helpful than stackoverflow and other Q/A sites.
I love you, fellow ranters.

!rant
I'm the kind of coder who likes her brackets{
Better this way;
};

Literally posting this so I could get those 10 points followed by an avatar.
Hello to all the fellow ranters from a newbie(definitely not a noobie).
P.s. Python lovers, don't get to my bracket.

Best of luck to all Ukrainian ranters. Buffer states are awful places to be.

$ rant --not-a-rant

I made it guys

I know this might not be a rant but Im sure nobody will understand this better than my fellow ranters/devs

Four years ago (16yo) I learned about a software development company in my city and Ive been wanting to.work for them ever since, at first I couldnt because I need half college credits, after because I landed a way more comprehensive job, but now I start on monday. The thing is few people have landed a dev job there as students because of what they ask but I MADE IT.

Thanks for reading this far.

Made this one for all the Indian ranters here

I'm working with a 70-year old database administrator. Beat that ranters!

I think Linus Torvalds would be up there in the top 5 ranters list if he had a devrant.

It’s not quite @AlexDeLarge creativity but some of his swears are certainly pretty full of imagery.

I have no idea why but I think all ranters with long hair are Linux sysadmins

I so fucking hate mosquitoes. At this point I'm seriously willing to lure all those bitches in and guide them straight to an electrical death. Problem is, I know how to generate super high voltage to char the fuckers right into smelly dust, but I don't know how to lure them in, or even find them manually, so let alone automatically. Even a chemical reaction we can electronically dispense to lure in the fuckers, but I have no idea what that chemical stuff would be. I'm not a chemist (yet). But if I can build it, fucking hell.. I would build a ton of them, weaponize my entire home and even build some spares to send off to fellow ranters. Because those parasitic bitches must DIE!! The only reason why they still exist after thousands of years is because we didn't kill the fuckers yet. I want to fucking kill the leeches, preferably in the most gruesome way possible.

So yeah. A shout for help to my fellow ranters this is.. perhaps even a collab. I have no idea about the stuff that draws those fuckers into their death. Any suggestions? Whoever can guide me to the demise of those parasitic pieces of shit, seriously.. if at all feasible, I'll build it for you and ship it!! Death to those parasitic blood-sucking bitches!!!

stress ball arrived :/ And I picked a up a t-shirt to try find some ranters in the wild!

This is the only place where a developer can complain and find who understands him and give him advices.
Thanks ranters

Folks, introducing my first pet in devrant...
His name is Charlie.
Charlie, say hi to all dev ranters....

Thank you ranters for suggesting. Just bought a MacBook Air. Feels great. Feels Proud. I now understand why people use Macs.

I'm thinking of livestreaming my friend and I doing game development on Twitch tonight. How many of my fellow ranters would watch?

Hello devRanters! A little while ago some ranters and I who are all passionate about FOSS/Linux decided to get together in a chatroom. Slowly more people are coming in but just wanted to post this in case any foss/linux liking people would like to join! I am not even sure if this is allowed on devRant (posting something like this) so if not, my apologies and I will remove the rant!

Keep in mind that the chat exists for people who are very keen on FOSS/Linux/security/privacy so no offense but it probably isn't the best place for people who don't like/care about that stuff :).

Wish me luck, ranters. Tomorrow I start working in an IT company for the very first time. Hope I don't get fired very soon, freelancing is hard. And I still owe >1300€

Why doesn't DevRant have a poll option? I am sure it will be useful to a lot of ranters 😊

Good morning fromy office ranters ;) very productive day starts right now

Do you see the same ranters again and again? I begin to ‘know’ some of these people.

Since devrant doesn't show the ranters
name in the feed, I found that I invented
a new game:

' Is this rant - rambling - from Kaine '

This has already given me quite a bit of joy.

On multiple occasions I have audible
exclaimed that 'I fucking knew it'

(≖ ‿ ≖)

!rant

So, as we know, Star Wars will be released this weekend.

I would ask all ranters not to post spoilers here.
Me, and I believe other ranters, will not see this weekend.

Thank you!

A long and stressful week is over, and I missed my train back home, so I went to read a microhistory (beer).

Enjoy your weekend devs and ranters!

I'm a junior developer working on a project that's completely out of my scope. I've missed deadline after deadline and my boss + the customer are getting very pissed off and impatient. This project has got me feeling sick. I'm not sleeping well and honestly thinking about leaving my job just because of this 1 project.

I've tried speaking with my manager but she just says, complete it ASAP to the best of your ability. It will take me months to get it right but I am really struggling.

I'm just looking for some advice please? Has anyone else been through this? Do you think leaving is stupid?

Thank you ranters 😃

Hello ranters!
Starting my device with this feels good!
How does this look like?

P.S: Image has been designed by some fellow devRanter. I don't remember his/her name probably. Sorry :/ Please feel to mention yourself here.

So it appears that by a good bit, JavaScript is either the Least Hated or the Most Loved language among ranters here. Interesting.

Come to think of it, most JS-related rants I've seen here were making fun of the number of Frameworks.

Me and my stress ball are starting to get quite ready for Christmas :/
Maybe after the holidays the smiley will be back?
Happy Holidays fellow ranters!

P.S. Don't code too much during your holidays

Hello, Club 1000!
I would like to thank my mom and dad, all of the ranters who have contributed to this achievement and you, @dfox and @trogus—without you this would not be possible.

Ramadan Kareem to all my muslim ranters 😀

console.log(“Hello Fellow Ranters”);

Sorry for breaking the protocol, but I'm not here to rant. I want to thanks all the ranters (is that a thing now?) for recommending Mr. Robot (the TV series). Just watched the first episode and I can see myself watching it all day. Be back tomorrow.

To all my fellow ranters. A merry christmas to all of you. Wish you all the best.

I do love u ranters

Whenever I feel like I’m not good enough at my trade, I come here to read a few rants. While I am a failure, it’s so nice to know there are even more disappointing devs around.

Husband's birthday. Out in downtown Wiesbaden celebrating if any german ranters are nearby. I suck at planning so i'm sorry for the late notice

GIF vs JIF is for noobs.

Say, fellow ranters, is it Regex or Rejex?

Some ranters get pissed with junior dev who thinks unit testing is not necessary and a waste of time. While I'm here convincing all senior devs in my office why testing is important. I gave up.

Google Devfest new Delhi 😍😍 !! It was awesome!
I wish I cd meet some ranters there...sigh...that didn't happen.

A moment of silence to all those committed ranters whose swag never came. <fml/>

love y'all ranters!!!

!rant
How old are you ranters?
Cause I feel like I'm too old for this these days. You may write the truth or you may not. feel free.

I just discovered this editor. It's kinda cool :)
Have you ranters used it? What do you have to say about it?

Well thanks to all the help from you ranters and some of my close friends, I decided to take the Web developer job. I start in two weeks as a Web Developer!

P.S. PHP is not as bad as I thought it would be. It actually allows me to do as much if not more than C# in ASP.NET land.

Dark theme vs Light theme ranters
*** Round 1 ***
Light theme ranters attack

moving to cli only because desktop contains distracshiunns.

can someone answer me some questions?

1) where to download a lot of music (hardstyle)
2) how to do project management in vim?
3) how to tmux in multiscreen?
4) how to use github in cli well (ik how it works, but maybe there are some things that are good to knew)
5) is lynx REALLY my only option for browsing the web?

hope my questions can help some fellow ranters, thanks in advance for answering

Happy Father's Day to all the ranters out there! may your bugs be few, and your code execute correctly the first time.

I'm four months in my new job and I've done 5 days worth of coding. There aren't much projects coming to our office nowadays so I'm being paid just to log my hours.

Any of the ranters here have any small project ideas I can make to pass the time?

I've literally run out of things to make.

I’ve seen an increased amount of new ranters recently, welcome to devRant! We hope your stay is as amazing as the rants you’ll be posting!

Happy New Year, dev ranters..
Many more rants coming.. 2017

Since memes have become an integral part of our community, I propose a way to handle them without affecting the actual Ranters.

Everyone adding a meme or a gag picture can do so under a particular tag, and the Algo can handle your meme needs by exposing you to that particular tag based on your activity with such posts.

Or you could just make the users search for memes if they wanted to see them.

This could also be done vice versa by ranters using a RANT tag, I would keep my RANT filter on so anything without that tag won't show up

To make it better you can provide a sort of suggested tags option :

|gag|¦¦¦|meme|¦¦¦Ranf|¦¦ scroll to the right for more... Kinda thing

@dfox @trogus please tell us what you think about this

Fellow ranters , help me out here.
Sudo apt-get 'a life' isn't working.

Code away, ranters.

!rant

Finally got myself a czech copy of "The Book". Happiest day in 2017 so far 😁

How do you make yourselves happy, fellow ranters?

DevRanter: *shares some inconvinience at work*

Other Ranters: Dude, Quit your job. Sell your house. Get a divorce ASAP. Give your kids up. Fly to another country. Disappear from everybody's lives. Start a new life. Change your identity.

#lol

I wonder what the average age is of a ranter on devRant.

I just found out that some of the ranters I have seen around quite often are only around 18 (like I am).

Also I wonder what age people begin professionally programming since I have been working at a company since I was 16 and still work there. (I have programmed since I was around 8 so I already had a lot of experience.)

My fellow nerdy ranters what's the best way to take care of social anxiety completely, am contemplating alcohol

I'm at a Dutch Meet-up about security and privacy. Quite interesting. Any Dutch ranters here as well?

@dfox what would you say about a "following" feature?

Because I've noticed some absolute regular golden rants coming from some of the same ranters on here and would be cool to never miss the stuff they come out with.

It has been a long long time since I posted, a lot has happened the past couple of months.

I lost my grandfather, I got a nice dev job and God I miss ranting here. I finally published my side project and all I have to say is

AWS is a b*tch! But beautiful at the same time, had to learn a lot the old way (trial and error).

I don't have any anime pictures as I've changed phones recently but I find this picture just as awesome.

Hope you are having a great day ranters.

Oldschool ranters from 2005 (if you're even still here), how was DevRant back in the day? What was the differences/similarities? Was it better/worse? How did you discover DevRant (before you googled it)?

Me to a Ranter: Is there anything fun that Linux can do and Windows can't?

Ranter: It works!

Merry Christmas to all the dev ranters out there. My thoughts go out to those on call. May prod never fail and your phone never ring.

!rant
Disregarding completely the anonimity factor...!

Guys vuejs conf in Amsterdam is happening tomorrow! If you are attending and see three guys with green t shirt with pulilab written on it just approach us!

We can't wait to meet some fellow ranters

Rage!!!

Coworker checks in not working major changes and goes home for the weekend yesteday. When I ask him politely in an email to just check in a feature branch he says he has no time for that and it doesn't matter since the program is shit anyway.

Meanwhile I'm working overtime to get the program ready for a demo next week and another developer has already starting using his changes so I can't just roll it back. Spent my whole morning fixing it, and now can finally start my work in the afternoon.

Arghhhhhhhhhh!

Worst part is... He's the solution architect so anything I bust my ass to get done he'll take credit for and anything that goes wrong he'll blame on me. Can't wait for this contract to end!

My best wishes to all fellow ranters around here, have a great, productive 2018!

People who don't ++ OPs, nor comments or add anything of value on social media / thread.

Please.
What is your purpose but self projection?

How bad has YouTube consumed you ranters? What do you burn those hours on?

Post yours.
YouTube > profile > time watched

Ranters!

A couple of days ago I started development on a cross platform command line tool to read and post rants from terminal, but other devs were working on it too.

I haven't seen anything on here about those though, so I wondered: Is there any need for me? Aka, should I resume development?

No one:

Frontend developer: Frontend is more than just styling buttons

when u are new to devrant and want to change ur avatar, they say ,u need 10++, so mi do it.. as said..and best ranters like your post.. Happy time, thanks all..

Hello ranters!

My last rant was like 2 months ago. Feels good to be back

What are the key skills that separates a junior from a mid level from a senior developer?

I think subscribe to user rants is broken? It's been a week since I last saw a notification from any of the ranters I subscribe to, even though at least one of them posted a rant today that I saw.

Is it only me? Do I need to report it?

There should be a post type “facts” || “dev hints” || something like that where we can post cool stuff we figured out..

Like how to replaceAll in JS?
“Hello ranters”.split(“e”).join(“foo”);

JS devs probably know this but I didn’t, so yeah..

!rant.
I think i joined devRant back in October and since then it has become my most used app. Its so great to be under the same of its kind! And even though I don't have something to rant about at the moment, I am gonna support all those ranters with my ++'s! I already ++'t over a thousand rants and won't stop!

!rant

Original posters (OPs) should be referred to as original ranters so that the abbreviation is OR

Sometimes I see other ranters' usernames and they are so cool!. I feel bad for going with my default username.

!rant what do you ranters do when you're not ranting or coding? Me? I work on cars. Car in the picture is my gf's mini.

*1 hour passes*
Me: adds new code

*1 day passes*
Me: Why did it work?

*some random weekend*
On call developer: Who fucking wrote this code!

Can't help but when watch most profiles(some exceptions)of ranters I see are front end developers. Aren't here some guys who work on developing frameworks, work on linux kernels or maybe work on linux distros?

P.S.: I love RoR and will contribute to make it better. So the image.

So... ranters! Where are you from? Let's try to Make a chart with geographic distribution... what do you think?

So, ranters and rantees, what's your Raspberry Pi doing right now?

What's your fav place to live in future, ranters?

!rant (all ranters should read)

Today I was at university, doing some C low-level stuff. Then I looked my Professor.

Holy fucking shit, this man (and obviously the others) learned programming without google, stackoverflow, youtube and online doc/forum/examples/explanation.
I also believe that some of them could not compile and run at home their software.

MASSIVE RESPECT FOR YOU ALL !

If only the devRant store was to have a gift to user feature where a good samaritan could purchase some swag for their fellow ranters. #justathought

I've seen lots of other ranters complain about huge code files... I just came across 27k Javascript extension for a software like Postman ...

First I thought cool I can work on it since it's JS, then 27k of lines later: I think I'll go sleep .-.

happy Canada day ranters!!!

Shoutout to all my fellow ranters with boring ass non dev related jobs! Working in a shop to get myself through uni sucks

Hi ranters :) it has been a while since i posted. I always install devrant when am changing phones and read rants when i am on road (like today). It has been a huge insight in a lot of things and was a great time spent reading rants so thank you for that :)

I wish you all a great day/night and a fantastic weekend.

Python Question:

I'm learning Python and thought I'd start with web services since that's a concept I'm familiar with. My question is, in the attached code, am I doing it right when it comes to python? Cuz I feel like I'm following the same structure I follow in C# WebAPI and NodeJs

What about naming style? Is is the default for python? cuz I'm also using C# naming style :\

Thanks in advance ranters :)

Have the ranters mellowed out in years? I rejoined devRant after 3 years and i see normal rants. Where the fuckety fuck rants at? Where the anger at? Where puke of abusive words at? Whereeee?

This greedy lying bitch. Sorry probably only german ranters will understand the full content.

Hello fellow ranters, what the fuck is going on with your lives?

Wouldn't it be cool if you could add your favorite ranters as "friends" or something like that?
I also would welcome some feature like a personal chat personal with other ranters.
Just a few ideas.

I found a new app called CodeMonk. This apps purpose is to teach you better and more optimised coding tehniques. Check it out, ranters!

I found xss on the software the my school and many other schools use it. The bug is on every page of their website.
I reported the bug to their team, they fixed it and didnt even reward me.

What do you ranters advice me to?

Where are all my fellow ranters from? Philly dev here 🙋

can't possibly think of a good enough rant to earn that 750++.

seems like a nice stress ball! but ranters block. haha so relateable right? ... right? pls.

Question to my fellow ranters, I want to create an opensource SDK for a service. What will be the advantages and disadvantages? How to keep myself motivated throughout the process? What are the steps to take?

Looking forward to tomorrow lunch time. Happy holidays dev ranters.

Any Swiss ranters?

Hi ranters. We need to talk.

I've been thinking, I'm lately getting tired of code everywhere. Suppose one is a software engineer / senior developer. What is one's career path from this point on?

Tech lead? Architect? And then what? Is that all? A dead end?

Management would be also a possibility I guess. But is that a horizontal career change or are there any spots in vertical plane?

Any fellow ranters going to Google IO and wanna meet up?

anyone i can talk to about artificial intelligence and nns?

on an somewhat note, we should make a list of ranters willing to help newbies when theyre stuck

Ranters in the US, do y'all want to try to organize a meetup? I'll be visiting the US in a while (hopefully, that is), so not anytime soon, but maybe we can at least form a group and discuss possible opportunities.

C# is getting so fucking obfuscated with these null check inceptions. Found the following in my company's code base. Why did it take me and 3 other devs an hour to figure out how to write this if statement into a flowchart?

if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(a?.Id ?? b[0]?.Id))...😫😫😫

FYI: We figured it and also found some bugs with logic, but can you? I'll post our flowchart if ranters are interested.

So to add to the madness:
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(a?.Id ?? (b?.Any() ? b[0].Id : null)))...🤯🤯🤯

Doing a talk on 'Security in PHP' and live demo on web attacks and safeguard tips this Saturday. Any tips fellow Ranters...?

Not a rant, anyone else play League of Legends? Just started back up and it would be cool to game with some fellow ranters. Gaming releases my anger lol

Thank god for the positive ranters.. hating rants in a row would make this place depressing

Ranters,

How do you pronounce 'daemon'?

Heyy ranters! I'm starting a junior job in my country and I wanted to know what is your average payroll for a junior position in your country?

ranters,
how do you deal with procrastination?

I'm curious, how many of you ranters out there studied Math at an advanced level to become proficient at programming? Is there a particular field of Mathematics that would improve my programming skill?

Context: I come across a lot of Math I don't understand/never encountered when researching topics such as encryption, hashing, geospatial data handling and randomness. Was wondering if I missed out on some key learning that would make these topics a lot less mysterious. Also, I overheard someone coming up with a mathematical formula to base an algorithm on. I don't think I've ever come up with algos this way.

This is my first rant, so here it goes:

Working with a functional SME who's "too busy" for end to end testing and, this is a direct quote, "I'm confident that the technical team can fix anything which inadvertanly gets broken by configuration/process changes". Then when the inevitable happens and he breaks something, he refers the irate users to my team. I really hate this guy.
Thanks for listening, fellow Ranters.

What coffee do you like, ranters? Or maybe you prefer tea? 🤔
Share the photos/names of your fav. drink, that you love drinking, I'm just curious.
Just drank nice ice cappuccino bought a while ago in Kaufland. Nice, but hot coffee seems better to me.

I don't want to start any wars in the comments, but what do you devs prefer: iOS or Android?

I'm not saying one is better. I'm just genuinely curious what other devs use. I prefer to use Android because I can do more with my phone.

I'm actually curious what most of you use, so feel free to tag other ranters you know in the comments. I've already commented the few I could come up with off the top of my head.

Fellow ranters, always remember:
It's not the size of yout data that matters. It's how you use it

Hey ranters so have been doing this long course video tutorial on Node, and sometimes i just get bored cause some videos are very long. Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with this cause i want to learn as much as possible

ranters! who knows what this is ?
0 = Ø
1 = { 0 } = {Ø}
2 = { 0, 1 } = { Ø, {Ø} }
3 = { 0, 1, 2 } = { Ø, {Ø} , {Ø, {Ø}} }
4 = { 0, 1, 2, 3 } = { Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}, {Ø, {Ø}, {Ø, {Ø}}} }

Feature request: a way to ignore users so their rants don't appear in my feed. Some of the frequent ranters, while very popular on here, really rubs me the wrong way, and I'd love to be able to filter them out

Hello ranters, I need some help because I want to make a portfolio for my curriculum vitæ and my experiences but I don't know if I should use a framework for this kind of little project.

Any ranters at the manga-comiccon in Leipzig today?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Hey fellow ranters...quiz time!! What is 9 times F?

Hey ranters have you checked podcast of devRant on Youtube. It's great.
All dev of this great community please subscribe to devRantApp on YouTube and increase it's views. While I'm ranting about it has only 1.2k views and 51 likes. Please check that out.

@dfox and @trogus Just listened to a podcast of devRant featuring Andy Hunt "Author of the Pragmatic Programmer".
My favorite line he said is " In effort to evaluate betn mediocre programmer from great programmer certification available is pathetic, this is why Alien don't come to visit us anymore".
He also talks about RubberDuck and many more.

Happy Monday, ranters!
There's nothing like starting the week with some (almost) critical issues to remind you that everything is full of shit. 😃

Hello fellow ranters!
I've been away for a while.
I hope everything and every one here is safe and well.

What's new?

I see all kinds of rants here about how coworkers and bosses know nothing about programming. And I'm over here like, how'd they get a job? I feel like every company wants you to be a code ninja rockstar badass, and they're constantly telling me they're pursuing these other unicorns, not me. What gives? I don't know everything, but I know more than done ranters coworkers and bosses. Fuck.

To all indian ranters, print your pdf programming literature using printster.in or from there mobile app, prices are really cheap.

Fellow ranters in Berlin, what do you think of the tech scene there ?

Hello fellow ranters.
I'm looking for some inspiration in the kitchen.

Lately I've been on somewhat of a health binge. So I'm looking for some ways to make my dry and uninteresting food more interesting. Like a sauce or something.

I usually like hummus a lot. But it's getting old. Does anyone have any fun I can take inspiration from?

I'm not looking for recepies, just inspiration.

Don't know if I need to say this but obviously I'm not looking for unhealthy stuff. So nothing too fat.

Hey Portuguese Ranters! Anyone in Faro Dev Day today?

Where are you located my fellow ranter?

Me /Denmark, EU

#!/bin/rant

I have two jobs, one is developing a web site with a CMS and the other one is the back-end of a web platform. I like both, but the first one is on front-end phase, which I hate, and I closed all the pending tickets on the second one. So I don't want to work on the first one but I have to because of the due date, and tomorrow I leave on vacations which means side projects,

Please fellow devs and ranters what should I do? (Quitting is not an option)

Ahoy der Ranters!

I'm looking for a log management service. My server application has a 90 days rolling policy (with gzip) but I would like to store logs somewhere else before they get deleted (after 90 days).

I've heard of Cloud watch, paper trail, and logz.io

What would you recommend?

Any ranters at the city festival in Chemnitz,Saxony ?

Happy new year Ranters. Love you all.

good morning Dev rant and fellow ranters!

Happy Australian day Ranters

one thought of giving options of saving images posted by other ranters would help ;)

Okay so im gonna get some confused and many disagreeing ranters on this.

I like SoloLearn. I said it.

I think its a good platform to learn the syntax for a language. and get basic understanding on the language. granted It does a horrible job at teaching you what or how to do things. and its webapp isnt nearly as great as the mobile app.

the mobile app has a lot more "lessons" ranging from ES6, Angular, React, Algorithms, Cryptography. they obviously arent the best. and SoloLearn has SO many flaws and I understand that, trust me I understand more than anyone

I just dont think its the worst.

When a ranter repeats posting rants againts ranters who repost rants...

What is that called ???

The OnePlus 3 looks soooooo amazing! OnePlus One.. you did me well. time to upgrade!

what are your thoughts ranters?

OnClick handler on buttons in Samsung devices keeps count of no. of times you have pressed it and executes only after pressing no less than 3 times.

Definitely check out the new devRant podcast episode featuring Ruby on Rails creator DHH. Also two great ranters read and describe their popular posts. Total fun and informative episode! 😀

Hello ranters, I have to send my beloved laptop to acer support to get somethings fixed and I'm worried for my stickers. I don't want to get them damaged or lost (maybe they need to change the screen back plate or maybe they send me a new laptop all together). Is there a way to peel the off and reapply them with new glue?

I just realized I haven't installed the android SDK on my new device jet...

Too tired for this!

Good night fellow ranters!

ITALIAN ranters: where are you from?

We should really do a meetup at least as cool as the Dutch one

Why are ranters in general only inserting an image instead of quoting or linking the object of the rant?

Let's start a discussion about how dev ranters make some beer money. I start: i've built an app for my town and the restaurants pay me to edit their entry and accept bookings from the useres. I spoke with the tourism office and their where happy to promote the app. What do you do?

Hello fellow ranters ,
A few weeks ago we started working from home because of the Coronavirus, I have personally found it very hard to perform at work and have lost all motivation to do anything other than the bare minimum required by the company , around a week ago we were officially furloughed , my question to you guys is : what are some things I can do to exercise my brain and make sure my skills stay sharp, I am a JavaScript , node.js dev , I’m talking coding challenges and other things , also can anyone else relate ?

A week ago me and my classroom visited Pentalog and they Presented us in major terms how they're teams work and what is mostly going on in an IT consulting company. It was pretty cool. I loved every job or position they presented except Scrum Master and the person who manages the database.
I saw most of them how nice they were how they got along, it makes it hard for me to understand how many ranters are crying about relationships with other collegues. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey,, fellow ranters, if you have some free time and want to interact with shitty Korean sites (yes, i am cozyplanes) that support all the way down to IE6, this is the chance for you!

Help me find a school code that is somewhere in the JS,

If you are interested, see comments below, and drop me a line here!

Alright I gotta ask IDE or Text Editor for development... and you care to WHY? I haven't found any rant on this subject yet and I'm curious what you ranters use!

Personally I use an IDE and more specifically Intellj suite for development
RubyMine, PHPStorm, and Android Studio for all my dev work for debugging, refactoring, and code completion to name a few.

Hello fellow ranters,
Today I wanted to work on a small projeft of mine (companion "app" (website) for a rather popular AR Game) and I just sat in front of my PC for about an hour because I couldn't start coding - i almost felt disgusted by the idea to start to code when I don't have to (e.g. at work) - do you also feel like that sometimes? If so, what do you do against it?

I've seen a lot of web developers in devrant (including myself) and I'm interested in other peoples work...so, can you answer this quick poll?

- What language(s) do you use for work?
- What language(s) do you know?
- What languages would you like to try and why?
- Where are you from?

Thanks ranters <3

Hello ranters,I'm a php developer ... I've been removed out of projects twice now due to the fact that database guys would say "nah we don't think php can handle this ,go learn a new language if you want to be in this team " ,then I thought to myself if I could learn another language. .Net came to my mind because the project is going to be for an Enterprise.
Which programming language do you think is the best for an Enterprise software? Thanks

EDIT: They want it in a web version so we could easily push out API's for other platforms like Android apps.

fellow ranters, i need your advice!

i'm searching for an ultra portable laptop:
- 11" screen
- full HD resolution

it will run Linux (Kali or other debian based distro) and i need that just to do some work while i'm on the go. I don't need huge performance, so the budget is quite limited (~300 EUR / 350 USD).

is the Thinkpad x220/x230 still the best choice (even if the screen resolution is not full HD)? any other suggestion?

thanks!

Why that fucking guilt that shallowness that ass freaking short breath when I have said on Monday morning that I will arrive late by lunch to office , and that fucking too when I have a genuine fucking reason and work to do.

What fucking mind I have

Help me ranters

Men fo real! I dont rant so much because I think its a negative attitude but let me do it anyway! Listen. My boss boss told me to create a dynamic drop which I did. A backend request then display it on the frontend which is easy, then on code review he ask why do we need this error handling. Bruh as soon as I heard that question, I got covid. Bitch we do need that error handling because if theres error on requests it will set to default options, but I didn’t say anything tho. I just ask what will happen if there’s an error?, he said I don’t think a simple request will respond error if you did it right. Then I agreed and remove the code. Hot damn! Mind you guys. When they started the app there are no test code. 0, nada, nothing inside the spec folder.

Not ranting. Just wonder, dapper + repository pattern, a good idea? And how it relates to unit of work? As dapper doesnt have iqueryable like entity framework has. C# dev ranters, enlighten me, show me the way 🐒💡💡

Hey ranters!

Okay so uh, do you know about LFSRs (Linear Feedback Shift Registers)?

You may wish to tell me else burn me to a toast xD

It'd be nice if devRant app had an art gallery tab, showcasing devRant store items from various ranters, our workplace setup, workplace companions and other dev kits.

Chatbots - revenge of the command line!

Are there any ranters from Gdańsk, or 3city, Poland?
Meeting would be a nice thing :D

TIL that you can subscribe to ranters. Whatever that means.

Hey ranters! I actually repeat you a question I did time ago...

It's time to change my keyboard, and I want get a good one for programming.

Do you have any recommendations or advises?

Had a great holiday weekend with the family. No drama. That is all.

Carry on ranters!

Fellow ranters,

I have been devoting few hours to the book called cracking the coding interview.

It's a fun book. Questions are nice.

But does it help even a tiny bit in interviews?

nothing is better than starting the new year while working on a project,
first git commit of the year 2018

happy new year ranters

Ranters Gonna Rant.

I have to choose to accept an internship offer for dev role between company A and company B (potential PPO at both).

Company A: Unicorn startup ~3000 employees. A disruptor.
Company B: Early stage startup ~30 employees but has funding and all. Also, sounds promising. Loved their interview process.

Both are interesting to me and pay almost equally. Any inputs ranters?

Maybe stackoverflow is truly what bitchy devs deserve, it is just amazing how lots of ranters don't accept any kind of comment, well, try to swallow your shitty ego and appreciate someone else wasting some time to do some thinking about your shitty problem. shit.

!rant
So I went through this exercise maybe a year and a half ago and didn't get anywhere. But I'm sure with the help of fellow ranters I might get somewhere :D

What Macbook alternative laptops would you recommend? Criteria would include: Screen with similar resolution (2880x1800) and quality, built-in SSD, 15", 8GB Ram, i7 and hopefully not a multi colored body or keyboard... If it came with Linux you win.

Hey Ranters! Yesterday my 3years old headphones stopped working :(

Please suggest headphone. I want to try something new from my favorite community. Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
