When you go to paste a piece of code with CTRL+V and accidentally press CTRL+C instead so you have to go back and re-copy it.

Picked up a legacy site to re-build, turns out just adding:

'?admin=1'

to the query string gave you full admin rights to the entire site without having to authenticate. The site was live for 2 years.

Biggest dev sin: re-inventing the wheel EVERY SINGLE TIME.

About to install a new linux distro.

Re-checking if I am about to format the right partition for 25+ times.

I really hope I won't fuck this up.

So I got an answer on Stack overflow

Answerer basically said "finding the error is tedious so I re-wrote your code"

They changed about 15 lines in their answer. I combed over it and found that I needed just one.

I put an answer myself, saying which line was missing (as the other answer didn't highlight the actual solution, and rather re-implemented my code)

My clear, concise answer was deleted by moderator for "Not adding anything new" (Except what the exact answer was to my problem, I guess)

Not my fucking problem. Make your own Q&A site harder to use, as if I give a fuck.

Me: Visual Studio 2019 is acting weird. I should close it and re-open.

Me: *Clicks X in top right of instance window*

When you design something and it becomes something else but you're too lazy to re-design it.

How do you fix a bug in a badly written code?
You don't. You re-write that shit!

//TODO: temporary until re-written in new webapp

A commit from almost exactly 2 years ago 😬

Told someone I'm working on an 0Auth server/library.

*but that already works/exists, why re-invent the weel?*

Because although it indeed already exists/works, I'd rather re-invent the weel and also throughout the process learn how it works in depth than just using an implementation and not learning much new (when I've got time, of course)!

That ironic moment when a Microsoft support engineer re-shared my GNU/Linux article...

So apparentally devRant has a youtube channel where they re-create Rants as animations.

This is the best thing ever.

I just started re-doing my entire setup because I finally want to build my true dream setup 😍

Gonna pick up two monitors with monitor arms tomorrow and searching for a network switch as we speak.

Any tips?

Just spent the whole day rewriting a 5,000 line function with variables like num55 or num287. These variables constantly get re-used for different purposes and overwritten at will.

Everything is now broken. Including my spirit.

I want to create an android app, but I also don't want to re-download android studio...

Choices... Choices...

Me, re-writing the code for the 74th time: wow, I really figured it out this time!

Girl , are you a Pixel ? Because you 're one in like 8 million
Sorry , that was bad , carry on with your day😂

This is all i can say about the recent re-surfacing of dark-theme-discussions.

(s/hipster/dark theme/ig for comedic effect)

So we had a dev on our team who was on a performance improvement plan, wasn't going to pass it, but decided to quit before it was over saving us 2 weeks.

I was ecstatic when he left (caused us hell). I knew updating his code wouldn't be great, but he was only here 6 months

"how bad could it be" - practiseSafeHex - moron, idiot, suicidal.

A little run down would be:

- Despite the fact that we use Angular 2+, one of his apps is Angular 1 ... Nobody on the team has ever used Angular 1.

- According to his package.json he seems to require both mongoDb and Cloudant (couchDb).

- Opened up a config file (in plaintext) to find all the API keys and tokens.

- Had to rename all the projects (micro services) because they are all following a different style of camelcase and it was upsetting my soul.

- All the projects have a "src" folder for ... you know ... the source code, except sometimes we've decided to not use it for you know, reasons.

- Indentation is a mess.

- He has ... its like ... ok I don't even know wtf that is suppose to be.

- Curly braces follow a different pattern depending on the file you open. Sometimes even what function you look at.

- The only comments, are ones that are not needed. For example 30+ lines of business logic and model manipulation ... no comment. But thank god we have a comment over `Fs.readFile(...)` saying /* Read the config file */. Praise Jesus for that one, would have taken me all week to figure that out.

Managers have been asking me how long the "clean up" will take. They've been pushing me towards doing as little as possible and just starting the new features on top of this ... this "code".

The answer will be ... no ... its getting deleted, any machine its ever been on is getting burned, and any mention of it will be grounds for death.

got a new phone last week, just realized that I didn't re-download devRant!

Hello! 👋

Scaling a badly-written code which is not designed to scale.

Ended up re-writing the entire shit from scratch.

Sometimes, you'll be tempted to copy-paste some piece of code from somewhere (stack overflow, w3schools, etc). But instead, read the code there and re-type it. Will help you to understand it better.

Proud moment when a colleague noted how easy it was to re-purpose my code for his needs☺

Re-deploying to the Apple App Store after making a "minor" change to your app

Some dude in upper management: We hear you. We have too many meetings, it's not healthy. From now on we'll have meeting free Friday morning!!!

And then all meetings on Friday morning are re-scheduled on Friday afternoon, or Thursday afternoon.

Yeah this really works, genius!

- Let's use jquery to fix this
- No
- But it will work just fine
- I'd rather re-write the code and not use jquery in an angular project
- ...
- NO!

'hey honey look what i made! It works!'
- fiance looks, error messages over error messages, program crashes, files disappear, data loss, pure horror

To this day I don't know what happened. I had to restore my project and re-write the last half hour.

Re-setup my desktop.

Met a student who has failed and appearing for re-exam.

Me: You need to work hard to get distinction (~85%).
He: Who wants distinction? I just need passing marks (35). Marks doesn't matter, knowledge does.
Me: Student who strives for more knowledge will surely get distinction.
He: 🤔

Devrant feature: It would be cool that when you wanna write a comment, it doesn't open a new page, but a textarea appears at the bottom, so I can re-read the other comments and the rant without going back.

This goddamned sewer-tier, rancid-as-fuck code may as well have been shat, eaten, and re-shat by a slug-fucking muck demon.

So fucking vile.

Just spent hours, debugging why a system is creating two objects in the database when trying to create one.

Turns out it is Chrome re-sending a POST request.

Really.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Google.

Y'all mother fuckers who use "don't re-invent the wheel" as a tactic to not grow new neurons, as if a ceiling's there — fuck out of my circle.

Those mother fuckers have never even created a single wheel - ever!

Well, ima re-invent any fucking wheel I want, when and where. How I learn is not your fucking busy.

What's even more annoying is that those telling me that shit are pretty much part of the paint on the wall and damn unemployable any where on this earth.

Re-using the same variable for different things is *not* code re-use.

import do
import re

You know which one is the real module

Haha this happened to me once! But it took me a week to figure it out and after re-writing the code and hours upon hours of googling

Three days thinking of a solution to a problem in HackerRank...

Came up with a very elegant O(n+m) solution... failing several test cases...

Check here, there, over there. Everything seems flawless...

Re-read the problem statement letter by letter. There it is, I misread the requirement. FML

So a programmer would rather delete and re-type an entire line than correct a typo in one word!!

Unit tests fail.

Re-ran it again without looking at details.

Unit tests pass now.

What. Why?!

Now I can't sleep at night.

My most painful coding error?

```

Finally my dream freelance project!!!! I will be re-designing and Then developing an Ecomm site for an organization that supports marijuana legalization. Oh those beautiful pictures will be my pleasure to slice up and implement. Lol

So my manager comes to me and says the developer A said he wrote a code that you can re use why is it taking so long to complete, just copy and paste. As if it's just copy and paste😡

Most awkward recruiter interaction was probably when I had to tell a staffing agency that I didn't want to work for them because I had already worked for them and left.

I got into IT by working for a staffing agency and I was contracted out to a large company's IT call center. Doing the usual sort of level-one tech support stuff. After my contract term ran out (and upon reminding my boss that she wouldn't be my boss for much longer if she didn't hire me away from the staffing agency), I was hired on full-time.

Six months later I left the call center and moved on to a cloud server development job in the same company. Not long after that, I got a message on LinkedIn from the staffing agency, offering to hire me on as a contractor working for one of their largest partners in the area.

I responded asking for more details, just for fun. The company I'd be working for, etc. Then I had to inform them that I had in fact previously worked for their firm, and now worked at the company that they were offering to contract me out to, and earning a fair bit more money than they were offering.

They didn't even look at my employment information on LinkedIn before sending the InMail. Just glanced over my skills, saw the magic buzzword "devops," and sent me a message.

After EVERY. FUCKING. RESTART... I have to delete one of my keyboard layouts and re-add it so Im able to switch between them. Its been a YEAR now! But hey! Notepad has tabs now! M$...Bunch of glue sniffing monkeys...

after google-ing a computer fix i sometimes re-google the answer to make sure it's legitimate.

Re-writing IBM Asembler code to C. No documentation whatsoever. Code was our only reference.

Re-implemented a Perl-based log analysis script in plain old C to make it faster.

Horrible implementation... Good times.

What the fuck Visual Studio? Last day my app was compiling succesfully. I DID NOT CHANGE ANY SINGLE FUCKING THING BEFORE I LEFT OFFICE. Today it refused to compile. It didn't even show the source of error, just says missing a reference.

- Clean solution, rebuild. Compile error
- Close VS re-open project. Compile error.
- Restart computer. Compile error.
- Close VS re-open project. Compile succesfully.
WHAT THE FUCK DID JUST HAPPEN? I could't believe it if it didn't happen to me. Is this shit compiling just by luck or what?

Every single fucking time I re-install windows. It was IE before now it is Edge 🤣

Re-installing windows just to clean things up.
Wish me a speedy recovery guys!

I was bored, and guess what i decided to do (re-design devRant app).

When you screw up the Python indentation beyond repair, and you have to re-indent 100s of lines of code -_-

Just watched a 30 mins tutorial on youtube and atleast 20 mins of that was debugging his code. Can't you just re-record or atleast cut the part where you go through all the stack overflow solutions!

I'm in deep shit, barely managing myself,

That concludes, a friend called in a favor to host a WordPress blog with our hosting and domain from re-seller

and fuck that re-seller with cactus in the ass, for being a hack and saying it is not possible to transfer the domain to my hosting account.

I know, a rant about Mac vs Windows is nor fun nor original anymore.

But really, I restarted more times my Windows PC in one morning than my Mac in one year.

What should I do, while waiting for the n-th restart?

Re-fuck you.

I thinks I've figured out jAsE — the elusiveness, obscurity, secrecy, continuous re-spawning is to hide that it's really "Jeff Atwood, Stack Exchange" 🤔

Visual studio just crashed. I hadn't been CTRL+S'ing for an hour or so. I was raging at myself! Took quite a bit of time to refocus.

Re-wrote it in half the time and it feels better written and commented. Now annoyed at myself for being so pissed off beforehand! >_<

I hate these idiots that post source code examples as an image just so they can keep their cool highlighting and style. How the fuck am I supposed to test that without re-typing the whole thing myself? Ever try OCR on source code? Not too great, is it.

I typed a long email and Outlook just hanged and closed. Upon re-open my email did not get saved to drafts. Argh!

FUCK! The fucking previous dev on this project who set up the fucking web service that he knew would be shared among multiple platforms set it up to use an audio format that's only supported on one platform. Now I'm faced with either doing some fucking JS black magic to decode the fucking base64 audio, convert it to another audio format, and then possibly re-encode it or attempting to re-write the fucking web service and already in production app! Fucking hell!

Welp gotta re-image that Server because I forgot the password. Well not so much forgot it as apparently typoed it in both the regular and confirmation boxes 😬 It was just a test server, sure, but that doesn’t make me feel less dumb.

Just solved a bug that was plaguing me for a week straight. Turns out I re-instantiated an Arraylist after adding all the elements to it. For no apparent reason. Face fucking palm

I miss IRC violence every now and then. Nowadays the internet is just way too supportive and condescending. I mean, what has become of RTFMs :'(. We're ourselves spoiling the next-gen of idiotic programmers, re-filling the rant machinery.

We had to implement our own sorting algorithm for a Linkedlist. My teammate was in charge of implementing this. I took a look at his algorithm when he pushed his changes. He was transforming the Linkedlist into an array, sorting it, then re-creating the linkedlist from the array.

Just wanted to root my phone again.
My carrier had an update but unrooting did not help to get it installed.

What it did though, was restoring my recovery partition.

Aaand... It actually erased. 😮

My friend is talking to someone else in the computer lab about a project we're working on for class, and they are telling him that we can't build our app in Java because it can only be used for android and web apps 🤦‍♂️

I just don't understand why people use the try-catch on calling a method that will throw exceptions just to ONLY re-throw it again, what would you do that for? :(

Stack Overflow is like a re-run of the Milgram experiment. Give a bunch of devs authority over their peers and watch the horror unfold.

Re-reading old code I wrote some time ago and trying to improve it. It sounds and it definitely is scary to do at first, but it truly helps me approach things from a different perspective and question what I did.

Best: take a job as a data analyst. 1 year later, re-write and re-deploy the entire backend following correct security concentions and well-hashed-out data models.

Worst: attempt to backup a hard drive using dd, just to accidentally brick the laptop (because it had some security layer the school put to prevent just that)

Bestest: use knowledge acquired at my "best" story to nuke windows on bricked laptop. Then extract the leftover data using dd and a series of recovery tools.

Mini witch hunt going on with broken builds last couple of weeks. Change satellite assembly/project A, breaks random unit test that hasn’t been changed for months and the TFS nazi sends out emails demanding the “broken” projects be fixed. Doesn’t matter the unit/integration tests are likely out dated and team responsible for the tests needs to fix it.
Yesterday I deleted some logging code out of a security assembly, broke an integration test that hasn’t needed to be ran since January (test database didn’t exist anymore).
I would have had to re-create the database, re-import the test data (not trivial), re-deploy a service using the test database…blah. All because I removed some logging code.
I deleted the gated check-in TFS build definition. Code check in … no sirens …whew! I win!

Using some tools - do you learn all their default keybindings (hotkeys), or do you customize them? [do you re-customize them with every new installation/workstation?]

Like vim, ide, SQL client, etc.

[thinking about IntelliJ's CTRL+F4.. It feels off]

I for one prefer defaults.

Not training properly in the first 7 years of my programming career, which is theselast 7 years 😓

As a result, I have to re-do a big part of my work because I don't trust my older self around computers.

I learned to work with tools and platforms, instead of trying to re-write them and creating bugs for myself.

See: every hybrid tool ever.

This leaves me plenty of time to research new trends and patterns.

This is git.

You code whatever, add the files, commit and push.

Just keep doing at repeatedly.

Until your push is rejected, in which case you delete the local folder and re-clone the whole thing.

No, as it would be a COMPLETE waste of time!!!

In all the layers below your application, several things related to how your code gets presented to your end-user are abstracted away from you. If you are able to accept that completely, why do you feel the need to re-implement every well-understood part of your particular project?

Cars, for example, are mostly made from standardized parts that solve well-understood problems. It then may have a few custom parts that may solve some novel problems to make it stand out from the rest.

Buildings are made completely from standardized parts, with regulations on how they are put together with some room for artistic flare.

If Software wants to be as equally respected as the rest, we need to get to that point.

DONT reinvent the wheel, just use battle-tested parts and just focus on what your project is trying to solve. It will be way more fruitful and fulfilling.

Wrote an Android app for the company I work for. Performed a re-write of their iOS application. Wrote that in Swift. Now working on .Net stuff. I don’t think i’m being paid enough for knowing all of these technologies.

It`s better to have an error than to have your app run but not working as wanted. Like in games, you know you`re on the right path if enemies show up, like the errors here.

When your about to start development on some tickets you've been wanting to finish, and then MS SQL management studio poops out and you have to spend the entire day re-installing/fixing your SQL DB's... Oh and now behind schedule

Man it is retarded how VS re-aligns your precompile statements to the BEGINNING OF THE FUCKING LINE EVERY TIME YOU ADD A NEW ONE.

Why does it do that in the first place, it looks ugly when it’s not in-line with the code, fucking stop it.

This is what happens when you try to access control panel in Windows RE (recovery environment)

Why can't more stuff support markdown?

I have had more reasons to use it lately, outside of repo READMEs, and (re)discovered just how awesome it can be in different text situations.

we've to figure out a way to deal with the re-posts. -.- I really feel bad for downvoting a re-post because the user had no idea about it.(even though it's funny)

Rm -rf /usr/share/pacman/*...

It took me 5 more attempts to re-read the command I wrote and realise what I had done... This was under a week ago..

Would you go back to ReactJs, as facebook has re -licensed the framework ?

Sometime I re-type all my command line flags instead of pressing the up arrow just to feel like a hacker from the movies...that’s normal right?

Spaghetti codes makes a person feel frustrated, non-productive even slightly depressed, and even do refractoring takes time of production and slows things down in the short term there's nothing like that "new feeling " after you successfully re-organize and re-structure a project.

The skies seem more blue the motivation re-appears and new ideas make the project feel worth it of your time again

Tried to upgrade an old PI to run Raspbian Stretch..
“Tried” as in “now I’m rage quitting and re-installing a new image”

- I'm an IT lover...
- me and my friends have some laptop to repair. You re going to have so much fun! Don't thanks us..

Launching the company's platform setup script:
"we added some variables to your bashrc. please source it and re launch this script"
"source .bashrc"
"we added some variables to your bashrc. please source it and re launch this script"
...
You had one job.

Soooo close to quitting my job in the social field.. and then re-start in the IT field...
Switching shifts and such high illness rate are making me exhausted...

Do NOT try to re-implement input type="number" but with nicer formatting. Do not even think about it. DO FUCKING NOT. It's a trap.

That time the Saturday before last when I wasn’t paying full attention to which environment I was in and I accidentally deleted an entire hosting account and had to re-create it from a backup. First, only, and hopefully last time I ever do that.

For those wanting split screen to work on android. Go to settings -> developer options -> "Force activities to be re-sizable"

And just like that. It works. (Only problem I've seen is the + button to post isn't there

Wednesday to thursday I had a 24 hour programming challenge at college. Needless to say after 18 hours I lost my train of thought and literally forgot the past 3 lines of code I had written, causing me to re-write them for 15 minutes straight.

Great times.

So after months of meetings, requirements re/writeups, and specification re/writeups, I can finally move onto the development phase!! Since I am the lead engineer, I basically start off creating the foundations of the application. Feels like I'm creating my new baby that I'll be proud of come in a few months.

The worst is having to rewrite/refactor another person's implementation either due to not follow the requirements or specifications and having made something completely different or useless.

But recently is having to re-explain what needs to be done or what the requirements are.

Why can’t I write code that just does its job ! Why the fuck in this world I want to re write everything I wrote 🤬

I should reinstall winballz, but I have way too many things to back up and re-setup. I hate my life so much in these moments.

So.

a few good old firends of mine wish to learn some coding to make a simple game. Probably for lolz, I do not think that they´re up to anything _too_ serious. Guess who they contacted for mentoring...

They´re up for boot camp, I say.

!dev
Needing to (re)move all my organised crime, uh, notes and stuff for the cleaning lady.

And having to tell them everytime they don't need to clean my damn keyboard and mouse as they'll ruin the traction pads and fill up the keys with fluids..

Reverse Engineering vs github hacking

When you pick up a codebase from 4 years ago of utter dissaray and static/hard coded in nature.
Then later meet said original developer presenting at a conference on re-useable code.

There is a feeling akin to meeting someone whom you have seen naked...

That moment when you hire someone for a small part of the protect and they suggest you to re-write the entire project using a different language/framework.

I know this is supposed to be in bossRant. But hey not all bosses aren't developers.

New guy started recently to take over my projects before I return to uni.. he had a few changes to make in one application and I'm reviewing them. He has literally re-written the entire application. -__-

When gulp takes 30 seconds to build... And you have to re-serve on every change.

Ready for webpack.

The best thing about getting used to vim is typing something in a website, finishing it, pressing ctrl+[ losing what you have just typed and re writring it.

Windows : fuck you i delete your KMS file

Windose : your licence is expiring in 30 days

Me: re apply KMS and disable that fucking useless anti virus

Window just self permit to delete my file with no fucking reason and not notify me in is shiti settings panel

Sooo I need to re-learn JAVA in 24hrs, after almost 10years. What have I missed??

Someone save me from this fucking stupid corporate web based trainings and let me focus on more important shit like re-factoring my code (ohh joke) and/or writing something more code then going what i just mentioned above.

Do I waste a couple of hours to write a re-usable tool to make this setup process less of a slog

Or do I slog through it to make sure it's done on time then make the tool to make next month easier/faster

Decisions decisions 😮‍💨🤔

Someone I met this week that runs a marketing business approached me about contract work. huge projects, huge money, but it's "take this existing site and app, re make it, and re brand it". idk if I want to go down that path...

Weekend of our big re-platforming finally comes. I'm not invited for overtime work during this transition. Boss emails on Sunday wanting me to test some code.

What the actual fuck? HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Nope. Office could be on fire - not being paid? Not working. 🍺🍺🍺

Me: Creates Basic Discord Bot with a tool, and mess with it, made it be a BETTER bot.

Bot: Yes Master.

Me: Time to re-home it on a new host(glitch)

Bot: Ya you edited me so much I have no f**ks ..

Me: sudo rm -rf ME

Freenom just removed one of my domains because "it was hosting ads". When I try to re-register it, they want me to pay for it. Is this a common practice of theirs?
