When they expect you to construct something which was defined just by a name, and you have absolutely no clue..:

When you accidently change (refactor) the variable name and you have no idea which var is which:

I see what you did there...

Account guy saw me coding...

account guy: so you type a lot.. how can you remember so much??

me: ??

account guy: I mean there is NO LOGIC in what you do, so you must read these things and type them here... you need to remember a lot.. right??

me: ohh... that... well.. I have very good memory :)

p.s. last line was sarcasm

recently started game development... used trigonometry and algebra for the first time in real life..

Sometimes i love siri's humor

Guess who has a nice new pocket laptop? :)

It works!! IT WORKS!!! IT MOTHERF@CKING WORKS!!

My private program FINALLY WORKS, and DOES WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO....

YAAAAAYYYY!!!

I like my new devrant Avatar

Boss: Can I pick your brains about something for 5 mins?

Me: Sure

-Call started-

(2hr 49min later...)

Boss: So you're still on track to finish that project by lunch today?

...

-Call ends-

Obviously the: "I feel like a god" feeling, when something i made works :)

(Even if it doesn't work the way it was supposed to lol)

Okay lets write this before i go mad...

I'm one of those guys who says "use the os which suits you the most, or you're most familiar with", and i'v always been a windows guy, didn't really have any reason to use linux, because for school stuff, or programming (java and android and c) windows was great enough...

BUT MOTHERF@CKERS at microsoft, i'v had enough...
First my handheld computer goes nuts, because windows is eating 80% of processor, and if i fix it, then some other kind of windows related thing eats up that much, and you know what? I've been okay with that, because thats only a handheld computer, but boy, didn't my main computer start to do the same?!?
I cannot do anything, basically i start something trivial up (by trivial i mean trivial, like idk, a texteditor not even a browser, or an ide or anything that would take a bit of more ram) and my computer cant do shit....

I'm so mad.... Currently installing elemantary os... F@ck this shit i'm out...

(And lets not forget the hours of 'updates' which dont do shit....)

Sooo win has updated itself (in a short 6 hours) and I was wondering what eats my pocket pc's 4 gb ram, so i checked, and turns out system is eating 40-50% of it and its processor ever since the update... *Sigh* Awesome....

WTF!! I want a JavaScript solution.. not jQuery!! When JavaScript mentioned in the question, why the hell people answer with jQuery solution and also same solution multiple times.

Reached 1 kilobyte :)

Skyrim SE looks great, never would've guessed being able to draw d*cks on the main menu would become a feature....

My confirmed results are in and it's a distinction in MSc Computer Science (Software Engineering)

It was a long & difficult 2 years (part time along side full time work) but I'm feeling very proud of myself at the moment 😃

Everything's urgent until every thing is urgent ... Or in my company's case, everything is "super dupa mega deathly critical urgent" in an attempt to out-urgent the other requests 🤦🏼‍♂️

Quote taken from an actual email this week and made me chuckle 😂

These are usually the same people that will send a teams message or direct email rather than using the established ticket system so hey, double rant :v

Those direct chat messages containing just:

Can you help me?

Good morning

Hi

!Rant
So uhm.. I guess he counts as a rubber duck...

When your non-technical manager calls you 18 times in a row at 0730 on a Sunday, you know there's a problem.

When the first thing said when picking up in your free time (after being woken up on said Sunday morning) is "why did you not answer earlier", ... ...

Ps. He was using the Dev link, not the production link.

PPS. This was a little while back now but felt like sharing 😂

So I just got off of a teams call which I suffered the classic BSOD part way through, a colleague tells me that the entire time I was disconnected waiting for my laptop to restart, my team's account was broadcasting a super loud jackhammer style racket to everyone else in the call 🤦🏼‍♂️ and of course nobody knew how to mute me so they sat in 3 minutes of what can only be described as noise 😂😂

I'm not sure whether to feel embarrassed to have caused the issue or to be annoyed that the software does something so random while I'm not even in the call or with a powered on laptop 🙈

It just me or things really take that long to make.. 🤔

Email (not a ticket) comes in this morning: "You need to make X change to y thing, yesterday!!" with of course the obligatory million + 1 Cc's including unrelated directors across multiple sites.

Me as my helpful self: I expected this request, I'll get it sorted asap

Director 1: *calls*
Me: I'm working on it

Manager: *calls*
Me: I'm working on it

Submitter: *calls*
Me: ignore

Director 2: *calls*
Me: I'm working on it

..............

As a bonus rant, after implementing the change, manager calls and criticises my technical explanation to the submitter who I know is fully capable of understanding the way it was explained 😂

Happy Thursday!

Yay, one more milestone :)

"404 - Account not found"

Manager: Speak with PersonA about ProjectX. Get back to me with feasibility and timescales.

Me: *speaks with PersonA about ProjectX*
Me: *does a few trials for more info*

Manager: Why did you not tell me you were looking into ProjectX with PersonA?

This is 2 days apart ...

At the bottom of the page:"Page 1 of 2".
Ok, next page:"Page 2 of 3" 🤨

Sooooo I had a class named "a"... And i renamed (refactored) said class.....

Guess what happened :")

Recently started using js without semicolons...

Personal opinion but I think semicolons do make the code look ugly

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 😂

Ad screen at the bus station, Padua

Another month with the same screen

feel stupid bcoz you underestimated the time to complete the project, feel even more stupid when you do it again and again

Who hates the new Skype app for Android?
Why remove so many features?

When you would just check the school timetable for tomorrow, but when you unlock your phone you find devrant to be the active app, and you just scroll through everything, and forget why did you even unlock your phone...

Just devrant things...

I had to remind our companys self-proclaimed "Excel Wizard" how to do a vlookup today

Long time reader, first time poster 🙊

2020: I'll complete semesters 2, 3 & 4 out of 6 for my part time MSc computer science while maintaining my current development job.

I want to improve my front end skills and pick up a JavaScript framework as well as getting into Raspberry pi projects to get back in touch with my robotics background prior to development.

Good luck in your own goals everyone!

Elsie: -Does that make it a glass half full or glass half empty type of situation?

Bernard: -We're engineers, means, the glass has been manifactured to the wrong specifications....

Gotta love Westworld :)

Okay, so this is more like a question, than an actual rant, but what site(s) do you freelancers use?
Lately i have some serious free time, and thought, why not try to make some side-money?

!dev

Why is it that whenever I have a goal, everybody comes out of the woodwork to tell me I'm stupid and am not capable of achieving it, but whenever I do achieve something on my own they expect thanks and recognition for all the "support and guidance" they gave along the way?

Surely this can't be just me experiencing this?

I literally cried to the Lord while reading the Rego language reference. Man, that thing is HARD to grasp.

After a while I just gave up and switched to Windows (wanted to play) but Windows needed to apply an update thus I decided to reboot and while GRUB was counting down I decided to turn back to Arch and give a try.

I was heard, now this damn policies works and the Go code do not panic anymore.

!rant
Is there any static site generator or builder, like webpack but which builds/compiles static HTML files? In which we can use partials and things like sass etc.

Actually I am asking for another js module/framework... Sorry :|

Sometimes non-dev people give the look like they could do the same shit in half the time and you purposefully made the UI ugly (UI wasn't provided and I m no designer).. can anybody suggest some polite ways to tell them to FUCK OFF!!

Spent hours in finding cause of a strange bug, turned out to be a typo... Didn't get frustrated or pissed.. I think I have found peace!! :)

Did I miss the memo on the latest trend or something?

The past week every teams convo seems to be hitting me with the “hello?”, “are you there?”, “gone for coffee?”, “?”

I swear they’re copy pasted because I reply within moments of the first rude message 😂

What is the best mvc pattern for Windows form?

I've been thinking, and i feel like being the bad guy... So, for now, I'm also an "idea guy" if you know what i mean...

Idea: This site could have a feature like "product recommandations" (just like long rants or something [tyical idea guy saying]), where users could recommend stuff like programs, peripherials, or anything dev related.

This could be done using tags, like certain tags would get sorted into the "product recommandations".

Sounds nice, doesn't it?

(PS.: We should also make a site which is like google, trust me, it would make millions...)

Maintain someone else complex map is annoying and take a lot of time

As a junior dev, say something relevant

According to you,when the retro Thinkpad comes out?
