By day, I'm a developer.
At night, I'm a father of two awesome kids and a husband to a fantastic wife.
Stop fucking asking me to work after hours! Just because you sacrifice your life to the office doesn't mean we all do.16 -
Got called anti-social because I don't use social networks and rather talk to people.
I am not sure how to feel about this.19 -
Proud moment today when I actually made an hsv to rgb conversion algorithm by following a formula rather than copying code from stack overflow

Me: I could study... Or I could write my website..

Everyone should start with C rather than java/C#/python (or alike). Much easier to move from C to java than the opposite42
-
Everyone in my company prefers solving git issues rather than `rm -rf` & `git clone`
Feels like I'm working with a team of geniuses. 😂13 -
i really hate when i have to read someone else's shity code ... I'd rather write the entire code from scratch -_- !9

Are you a small fish in a big pond, Or a big fish in a small pond? And which one would you rather be?
Me: :-|34 -
Since I'm a rather new devrant user, does these kind of trolls happen here more frequently?
Other than that, i rly enjoy the posts here.23 -
How NOT to make applications:
- single GET request called rather frequently
- 3304 SELECTs per request
- Some of them lasting ~50ms10 -
Shouldn't devRant build a proper website rather than a small sized webapp? :p
C'mon devRant, we developers are using our laptops half the day!14 -
From a design meeting yesterday:
MyBoss: "The estimate hours seem low for a project of this size. Is everything accounted for?"
WebDev1: "Yes, we feel everything for the web site is accounted for."
-- ding ding...my spidey sense goes off
Me: "What about merchandising?"
MerchDevMgr: "Our estimate pushed the hours over what the stakeholders wanted to spend. Web department nixed it to get the proposal approved."
MyBoss: "WTF!? How the hell can this project go anywhere without merchandising entering the data!?"
WebDev2: "Its fine. We'll just get the data from merchandising and enter it by hand. It will only be temporary"
Me: "Temporary for who? Are you expecting developers to validate and maintain data?"
WebDev1: "It won't be a big deal."
MyBoss: "Yes it is! When the data is wrong, who are they going to blame!?"
WebDev1: "Oh, we didn't really think of that."
MerchDevMgr: "I did, but the CEO really wants this project completed, but the Web VPs would only accept half the hours estimated."
Me: "Then you don't do it. Period. Its better to do it right the first time than half-ass. How do think the CEO will react to finding out developers are responsible for the data entry?"
MerchDevMgr: "He would be pissed."
MyBoss: "I'm not signing off on this design. You can proceed without my approval., but I'll make a note on the document as to why. If you talk to Eric and Tom about the long term implications, they'll listen. At the end of the day, the MerchVPs are responsible to the CEO."
WebDev1: "OK, great. Now, the database, it should be SQLServer ..."
I checked out after that...daydreamed I was a viking.1 -
I've always found those "age++" rants to be annoying.
are you people storing age as an integer rather than as an epoch timestamp?! seems rather tedious to upkeep.
either way. another year down! (that's 31,536,000 seconds for those of you counting correctly.)6 -
Winter is on its way, so Devvy has wrapped up warm. (His face was redrawn since he got rather faded)

Only ALFRED is left.
*popular AI child names*5 -
When people say 'I have some codes to write' rather than 'I have some code to write'. Makes me cringe 😥 😤 😭2
-
To be honest I have no problem with procrastination. I love programming and there are few things I would rather do.4
-
If I have to look at a file hierarchy I'd rather see it in the damn terminal.
cd + ls > double clicking, okay?
Filthy casuals :-/4 -
When dev who insists on using their own vbox rather the officially maintained vagrant package asks you to debug a non-code issue...
2 -
I made a game (rather mod) called "wake up".
I should trademark it and whenever someone says or writes "wake up", I sue them.7 -
Oh boy... something just happened I'd have never expected.
Remember my rants about the PHP CMS Of Doom™?
Guess what... the boss of said company just called me to offer me a job as their new tech lead. WTF.
I'd rather slowly impale myself on a rusy pickaxe.
I'd rather tattoo my face with a giant, pulsating, uncircimcised shlong.
I'd rather take a swim in a pool of Hydrogen fluoride.
I'd rather work 80h/wk on pimple extraction.10 -
Spent most of my life deciding between which operating system to use rather than doing the actual work :(4
-
I feel like technologies should spend wayyyy more time on making examples rather than ridiculously verbose documentation.12

Would you rather program one handed because...
A). Broken arm.
B). Holding screaming baby that slaps keyboard occasionally.6 -

Google ditches desserts as Q becomes Android 10
desserts name sounds good to hear rather than Android 10, 11,12 ...12 -
Good morning everyone, may your notifications be full of ++s and mentions rather than new comments.3
-
When throwing more hardware at a problem is always the chosen answer rather than fixing the performance issues...4
-
Emmet - mainly for the multiplication.
Small things like being able to just type in ul>li*5 rather than manually typing it out1 -
Anyone else prefer working with git visually (i.e. Source Tree) rather than on CLI? I like seeing what's going on easily26
-
So I've got my first sort of proper gig. I'm tasked with writing...
A goddamn minecraft plugin in java.
Well, it's actually rather fun strangely enough. My ideas of payment were not declined but rather accepted, the other devs are nice and everything is going well for now.
Also: Do expect a mental breakdown post next week or so5 -
Fuck exams!
Over thousand slides, 100 marks. Postgraduate term exam. So screwed, can't remember title of unit, rather don't want to. -
My freelance horror story is that I don't work freelance, but rather for a corporation where I am a faceless entity known as asset.1
-
Dad: You should rather consider being a mechanic.
Mother: Why can't you finish university and work as a banker?
Me: I don't give a heck1 -
Can any dev's recommend a good windows emulation program that supports x64 applications?
Really want to be able to run Gamemaker studio 2 on Linux but would rather not install a fully fledged VM.
I'm willing to work with a VM but just rather not have a 12GB installation for a 256MB program...39 -
We all have that hate-hate relationship with Dreamweaver. But I gotta say, their premade templates are rather informative.
10 -
You know you are stepping up when your problems are issues on GitHub rather than questions on StackOverflow.1
-
So despite being able to do my entire job much more effectively from home, it's been demanded that I go in 2 days a week that "show my face".
Upon getting to the office there's no parking spaces, I go round the carpark again and woohoo there's a space!! Awesome..
I come back a few hours later to work the afternoon from home and find 2 cars double parked behind me..
Both owners seem to be off site currently.......... I guess this is my life now sitting in the car park waiting for people to move their cars 😂5 -
There are two jobs I would rather suck dick on the street than do.
Sharepoint developer
JIRA admin
What’s yours?15 -
I would literally rather find a new job than have to build software that accommodates IE/Edge
That is all.2 -
I like how when on the main rant list, clicking on a GIF will open it rather than the rant, so can that be implemented for normal images too please?
Usually when an image is posted I want to see the bigger version straight away rather than going into the rant first. I realize that may annoy some people though.3 -
Time math is one of the most headache inducing parts of any programming project. I'd rather deal with uncommented recursion and regex.8
-
delete this;
(in the constructor)
Actual line of code I wrote in my code because of sleep need... Coffe isnt always good, kids... Rather sleep polyphasically2 -
I have suddenly started liking writing word documents rather than writing code ...
What’s happening ??!? What’s wrong with me !?!5 -
That moment when the bug you are trying to troubleshoot isn't a bug but rather the result of a feature you wrote that actually fucking works!
-
Most of the time I'm reading DevRant on 'recent' algo to avoid memes; I'd rather read authentic rants as simple as they are sometimes.6
-
We just got a new web dev with 10+ years experience with the goal of helping out our rather inexperienced small team.
His first PR was for a rather large form with 30+ fields.
He. used. a. <table/>......To layout the entire thing! With inline floats no less!
How the f do you spend the last 10 years not bothering to pickup any modern css?6 -
I really don't understand why Microsoft has created "Media Creation Tool" rather then linking the ISO files directly on their website.6
-
Ohhhhhh shit, this is a good topic.
Well, I just expected more... Better.
Like maybe the programming lecture could have been Java 1.6 rather than 1.2, and taught rather than read from an archaic time of dusty powerpoints.
Maybe we could have used Spice or a reputable circuit modelling tool rather than CircuitMaker; a tool no longer being maintained that barely makes it past install because it was written in a time before circuits.
Maybe day fucking one of the first year, happy clappy, let's teach you HTML lecture the tutor could have just shown us a copy-pasted hello world. Rather than the ugly, mixed-case, no-end-tag-having, broke ass HTML 4 scribble she felt the need to go over every detail of.1 -
My computer should prompt me to install updates when shutting applications down rather than opening them3
-
Documenting your code is like peeing. You'll rather just keep coding until you no longer have a choice 😂1
-
Looking through job openings in case I get shafted so bad here I end up leaving, I see a nice sounding Java role and think "oohhh dis sounds good".
Required experience: Using the Eclipse IDE.
*closes page, cries* -
Would you rather get a sticker for free or help DevRant and buying in there store?
Personally I would rather help18 -
Sitting here reading Clean Code and read the heading, "How Would You Build a City" at the beginning of chapter eleven. Damn it now I just have the urge to put the book away and play SimCity.1

-
Enterprise software that sacrifices desktop UX for responsive html rather than best of both worlds.1
-
The reason why developers should know the whole context of problem statement rather than just demanding requirements
Or
why the managers should set up the context of the problem rather than expecting magical solutions
7 -
When someone actually commented on my pull request, rather than just clicking approve without reading it.
-
Would you rather make every software you want but give up coding, or keep coding but always for somebody else's project?5

-
Actually having exercises to try so that the 90% of CS students that learn by doing can learn. Rather than writing down theory1
-
Anyone know a good site to ask programming questions that are more on the looking for suggestions side of things rather than explicit answers? Apparently Stackoverflow mods would rather wave there mighty e-peen and close a thread if your looking for suggestions on how to go about something... 😕7
-
Giving time to understand concepts to the core, rather than reading the docs, getting a surface level overview and coding.
-
When developers see everything the way it could be rather than the way it is - sort of on a slant. Opens up lots of opportunities.
-
When "imposter" is more like of lifestyle rather than syndrome, funny answer comes to mind, but I'll excuse myself without telling it.4
-
I always end up building my own wrapper using the REST API rather than using the already existing SDKs to just avoid going through the docs!
-
C++ Really confuses me... I mean why when defining an array variable is the array notation on the variable name rather than the variable type?1
-
Cost of 128 GB SSD for Microsoft Surface Pro 6 = US$ 430
(rest of config same)
Can somebody explain it to me or rather them?
7 -
Bossman doesn't like change.
Rather keep his stone age skillset, I hope we get flint knapping workshops for teambuilding. -
Finding an awesome new library / framework then finding the documentation is all "this is what it is" rather than "this is how you use it" *sigh*2
-
Stack Overflow's great when people choose to demonstrate their intelligence by insulting your approach rather than answering the question or providing substantive guidance.3
-
Sometimes I can't comprehend how clients rather want a complete rip off from an existing website rather than add some originality
-
Are there any *performance benefits* in having your users comments on a separate page rather than the actual post/article page?
Example use-case: medium.com6 -
It's a nice feeling. Even if the commits are rather small.
Edit: Should say "you've pushed" rather than "you've commited".
2 -
Do average users rather tend to pay at the paywall of ransomware (like wannaCry) if the user interface offers a great experience?1
-
I... Hate... Uni coursework. Would much rather be coding my own projects than reading 1000 plus lines of code to write a single class4
-
Emphasize secure implementations rather than just making something work...looking at you string concatenating sqli_query's.
-
Microsoft should have pre-install Visual Studio Code on Windows Platform rather then Code Writer. What is the purpose of Code Writer, anyone?11

Laziest thing is to do is commenting out the buggy code in minified JS rather than actually fixing3

Would you rather give meaningful name to your services or cool sounding names like aws greengrass?10

-
I haven't slept since yesterday, I have a problem, please tell me someone does agree that they would rather be typing away than sleep.
-
This is neat.
However it uses round rather than floor.
It might against consumer law if labelled 4.009 but charge 4.01 for retail
2 -
I feel like writing stuff down is like a HDD, too slow. I'd rather record my notes some other way, much faster...2
-
new project != new wonderfull creative ideas but rather new project = lots of procrastination and over analyzing
-
Apprenticeship instead of higher education might be a better mode of 1) learning practical skills rather than academic theory, 2) keeping those learned skills modern rather than stale and outdated, 3) skipping all the hippy-dippy college requirements that don’t actually add value to your career.4
-
Anyone else thinking that a multiple monitor environment can be rather distracting than productive?11
-
Are there any open-source Slack alternatives? Slack is nice, but I would rather host my own thing.11
-
Worst: Not landing a decent job
Best: dev-wise, none really.
It has been a rather shit year, really.14 -
When you have no time to learn by code snippet, you'd have to copy and paste it rather than writing it line by line.
-
Spending more resource on problem solving rather than investing on programming languages. Train people with useful projects rather than small snippets.. Both of these will prepare them for the harsh reality..
-
If I ever go missing, you should put my picture on beer rather than milk bottles. This way, my friends will find me faster.

Rather than finishing my Projekt had some beer (Becks) and watched soccer. Still exhausting as fuck :/2

i would rather have the vulnerabilities than have an app that’s not working.

I'm rather clueless on mathematics. Should I pick up data science or stick to garden variety software development?2
-
Programming is a skill best acquired by practice and example rather than from books 💙
- Alan Turing1 -
Ok so Sonar had a rule that you should not throw Exception. Rather you should always throw a specific types or catch them...
I don't understand this. So if the underlying function throws 10 different types of exceptions then the calling function should also declare it throws 10 different types rather than just Exception?
Assuming it isn't in a position to handle them?2 -
I just noticed exp. Rather than experience.
Was there a need to abbreviate? The first thing I thought of when I noticed was Pokemon games...6 -
Anyone here work for a consultancy rather than an IT dept ?
I’m wondering if the grass is greener on your side of the industry8 -
Thinking on selling products online. In the long run, Would you rather use wordpress+woocommerce or develop the whole thing from the ground up?2
-
I would rather feel the sweet kiss of death than ever have to set up automated mobile testing with Appium
-
How are you motivated to rewrite a program from the ground up?
I have to do this now, and I would rather work on other things.3 -
Pick one:
> Awesome username but ugly real name.
> Ugly username but awesome real name.
🤔
(examples are welcome) -
rather wait for next gen mobile gpu (gtx 2070 max q,...) before buying a laptop or now, because of some good after-xmas-sales?
-
Our company moved to new place....and its more like "big market" rather then development center...not sure how to cope up with this.... :(
-
Noticed rants and comment dates on the app uses the users device datetime rather than the server's. Hence if my phone's date is fast forwarded to a week later and I make new posts it shows a week ago rather than just now, same for comments. Is this the expected behaviour?5
-
new project != new wonderfull creative ideas but rather new project = lots of procrastination and over analyzing
-
when out and about, don't think that is your fault, but rather how to be done in order to bring again the fun2
-
Hey devrant , make the notifs sec like you can swipe rather than select the comment column or the ++'s column , I just want to swipe right and left rather than select them columns6
-
I’ve been assigned a Kubernetes task and I must say I really hate this shite. I’d rather code than be doing this 😑😶😑2

What's up with the scrolling on Devrant? Or rather, the lack thereof. I keep being sent back to the top of the page.
-
Is there any way to browse devRant in the office like an extension or something else rather than jsrant or xmlrant?8
-
Apparently there are a 1000 or more people mimicking every brainfart or time I didn't take this BS seriously because it doesn't merit it and they made rather stupid assumptions based on sometimes mildly defiant actions
It's funny when someone doesn't know they're around the original lol
Expecting apparently consistent repetitive behavior rather a few quirks heh -
Vue <router-link> cant parse props data when parsed using path="" rather than name=""
WHAAAAAAAATTTT??????2 -
If you are required to do a custom Object Detector for Mobile.
Would rather use Tensorflow, Theano, or PyTorch to train the model?1 -
What devrant means is not, "you will GET 10++ to build your avatar" but rather, "you NEED TO GET 10++ to build your avatar"
5 -
Never ever ever ever download JavaScript studio frm Windows store rather spend dat time wisely like boiling an egg
-
I would rather give up coffee than use Confluence for tech docs. And I love my coffee.
Also, shameless self promotion gh:rocadocs/rocadocs -
It's the weak people you need to be afraid of, rather than the strong who have their shit under control.14
