Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that in CSS, "!important" doesn't mean "not important" ?

Made our wifi password "********" so that when you click "Preview password" you see the same thing. Yes, I have a college degree and yes, that's probably the most clever thing I'll ever be able to do with it.

"You know C++? C# is exactly the same thing!"

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Programming: Doing many different things numerous times and expecting a single result.

HR people working in tech companies, let's talk about them...

*phone rings and I pick up*
HR Lady: Hi, this is [name] from [company]. I'm calling you regarding your application you submitted [some date 2 months ago!].

Me: *realizing that I've applied 2 freaking months ago* Hmmm OK....

HR Lady: Yes, well, we asked for your GitHub account, but you seem to have forgotten to provide it.

Me: *open up the email and see that I've sent them my GitLab account* Well, I have the email right here and I did send you a git account. I mean, it's not GitHub specifically but it's a GitLab account, pretty much the same thing, you should be good with that.

HR Lady: OK, let me put you on hold for a minute.

*2-3 minutes passes*

HR Lady: Hi sir, I've asked my colleague [which I suppose is another HR] and he told me that they're not the same thing, we cannot proceed until you give us the right link, you need to send us a link to your GitHub account.

Me: I mean, they aren't the SAME EXACT thing, but both companies provide essentially the same service, it's like Messenger and WhatsApp. Look, I'm pretty sure that if you give this to another programmer they'll be fine.

HR Lady: No, Messenger and WhatsApp aren't the same thing. Sir, please stay polite. We need a GitHub account not a GitLab account.

Me: *mumbling* Oh boy.... M'am, it's OK, I don't need the job anyway, I've found something. Two months is a long time and I needed something quickly. Thank you, have a good day.

And then my lecturer said JSON and XML are the same thing.

In networking class today:

Student - "But this is just in theory, how does it work in practice?"

Lecturer - "In theory, theory and practice are the same thing."

I never understand why we need two name for the same thing!

It's important for developers to remember that......

For the rest of the world a "string" and a "thread" are the same thing..

Client: “Hey this thing isn’t working correctly.”
Me: “Hmm, looks like there was a bug in the last update. The team and I are going to work on a fix. In the meantime here’s a tool to help you get what you need.”
Client:”Yay!”

*A little while later*
Same Client:”Hey this thing isn’t working.”
Me:”Hey, yeah, it’s the same thing. That bug I told you about? Yeah, we’re still working on it. We’ll let you know when it’s finished I promise but we’re trying to fix it without introducing more bugs.”
Client:”Ok sounds good.”

*A little while later*
Same Client:”Hey this thing isn’t working.”
Me:”Bro...we just went over this...”

*A little while later*
Same Client:”Hey seems like there’s a bug in our system that was found by -insert random coworker’s name here-. Are we looking into to this?”
Me:”Wtf dude.”

*A little while later*
Same Client:”Hey this thing isn’t working.”
Me: -smashes my face against keyboard-

At our first programming course at uni (it was in C), a student asks in class:
Student: what is a pointer?
Teacher: i don't know, i only know Java.

How the hell did the poor guy end up teaching C then?!

FOR FUCK SAKE...

The same fucking guy that said Java and JavaScript is the same thing tried inserting RAM into the PCIe slot twice! It doesn't even look like it will fit at first sight.

It's funny how a man gets something done and gets a "Good work, John!".

But, a woman gets the same thing done, and gets "Good work, team!".

#RealFuckingStory #ItHappenedToMe

I literally just opened devRant app to upload this photo and discovered @tdails posted about the same thing.

I'm logging my DevRant time as training ... I read all these dumb things that people do, and make mental notes so that I don't do the same thing. Best. Training. Ever.

Someone's 3 lines of Ruby that do the same thing as my 30 lines.

My boss asked me to do estimates for some tasks.

I did it.

He told me that was too much time.

I told him that those were the estimates taking into account the experience of the team.

He told me the estimates were independent of that.

I asked if an estimate, for the same tasks, for a team of interns should be the same as for a team of seniors.

"Of course they are the same!"

Funny thing is that he even says he supports scrum...

I am a software engineer and my cousin is a Geek Squad employee for the local Best Buy. And he thinks we do the same thing.

I spent three hours coding some algorithm and then looked it up on Stack Overflow out of curiosity. Big surprise. Someone did the exact same thing but more effeciently, and had all the code in his answer on SO.

Ughhhhhhhh 😓

- My client on regular day.

U can manage your tasks by your own. App looks stable and you are doing well.

- Same client when I'm on Vacation

This thing is not working, that thing is not working. This is do or die situation for us. you have to cancel your vacation plans.

- Same client after I come back from vacation in which I wasted precious hours of my vacation time and fixed all the bugs.

I didn't release your changes yet coz I wanted to release it together with you. I was like "THEN WHY THE FUCK YOU RUINED MY VACATION" -_-

so i guess ill use my code.org teacher for this:

"credit card information is encrypted with the public keys"

"lists and arrays are the same thing"

"javascript is a powerful, fast, programming language" (bhahahaha)

"javascript is [only] used in web browsers"

"java and javascript are *extremely similar* but not the same"

Ya go ahead. Touch my screen. The next thing I would do is get that same fingerprint from my screen, unlock your phone and fucking factory reset it. Or worse, message all the girls in your contact that you have a tiny dick. Go ahead. I dare you to touch my screen.

Same thing I do every night, try and take over the world.

Work today was good although put in 2 hrs of overtime....

But I optimized some code by changing out a class. Now it does the same thing except does it:

in SECONDS on my local PC

instead of 10+ MINUTES on a massive server.

What the shit!!!

At 11:00
While studying
"ah... I'm sleepy, can't tolerate any more", and just go to bed.

At 11:05
While scrolling rants
"hahaha... So true, same happened with me.. bla bla...."

At 12:47
Doing same thing from last 1 hour 40 mins
Even not sleepy yet!!!

It's too addictive. Having so much good posts, much better than fb feeds.... Loving the rants... New experience

I got a call at 12:30 one night a few months back. Apparently some back-end scripts I edited to fix an automated test setup crashed around 75 test pc's and halted somewhere around 2000 tests. I quickly jumped on, fixed the issue, and got everything back online.

I was up all night certain I would get fired. First thing in the morning the client says welcome to the club some, of the best have done the same thing.

Einstein :" Insanity: doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results.

Me: O yeah? Try nondeterministic algorithms

When you are working on a feature and someone else is working on the same thing and you commit at the same time and now you have to resolve conflicts but both versions work

During code review:

Guy (also the same guy who pushes code without making unit tests): "Hey, this thing you added is unnecessary. Remove it."
Me: "Have you read the rest of the changes? It isn't unnecessary."
Guy: "Not yet"

I am an idiot. I wrote some 100+ lines of code months ago and I took another look today and it seems like it could've done the same thing in 3. Fuckity fuck fuck.

I fucking hate it when people completely ignore/forget something I say and then later say the same thing like they came up with it.

When the clients wants to talk to your manager and your manager tells him exactly the same thing you did.

Recruiters, please understand that only because Java and Javascript share same Letters its not the same language ! Just like Ham and Hamster are not the same thing

Same situation as my previous rant.

Was building the dynamic page loader thing (basically mvc part) but it just DIDN'T FUCKING WORK.

As a last resort I chose the views to render based on a few if-else's 😅

Hacky as hell but it saved me from doom!

Each sticker on a race car increases speed by a small amount, which is why they all have so many. Same thing with laptops.

Writing cool code might be your passion but shipping it is your job. Sometimes they are not the same thing unfortunately... and its ok!

It officially happened...
Accidentally used rm -rf /*
(Actual command was a bit more involved, but it did pretty much the same thing)

Laptop doesn't boot now. Saved my home directory though.

Hooray.

Client: “I’m sorry I just don’t understand the issue with the contract?

You said logging into Facebook was easy, what’s the issue with feature X (= complex graph API queries based on opinions and sentiment) and displaying images and videos, it’s the same thing!!!”

... no sir, it is NOT

So normally it takes at least 4 years to become a developer by pursuing a CS or similar degree.

However, today I found out you could just touch the screen 7 times on Android to do the same thing. Go figure...

Not sure which is the right close button.

I once got fired for being sick and show up at the office without doctor certificate, crazy thing i got better job same day then posted to LinkedIn haha

Working at SQUARE ENIX is a love/hate thing tbh. It's fun and stressing at the same time. Pay's not very good , office's fine, but the management is...there's a massive room for improvement, at the very least.
Sucks that the company is doing worse and worse decisions.

God Damnit just name the fucking interface one thing and stop changing it every single time you check in. I don't care if you call it IGeorge at this point as long as it's still the same thing tomorrow morning you fuck.

Cousin: my computer is broke
Me: oh, what happened?
Cousin: i dropped it and now it doesnt want turn on, can you fix it?
Me: im a programmer...
Cousin: yeah but you can fixed its the same thing!
Me:

Director: What’s the next step on <thing>?

Manager: There is no next step because *manager explains*.

Director: How can not there be a next step?

Manager: *explains the same thing again, reading from a mail chain Director is also a part of*

Director: Okay, so net-net there is no next step.

Beautiful conclusion mf.

One of the worst thing :
Start a new project...
Have almost done everything...
See that someone else has done the same kind of app but... His is much better...

Rule 34.

"If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions." Rule 34 (novel), by Charles Stross

Same thing applies to npm modules.

There's no such thing as an expert programmer. With time you just get different kinda errors. As long as you're not getting same error, you're making progress.

This whole github thing is only yet again revealing, how many package maintainers are a bunch of instable psychopaths and should have somebody else manage the keys

be it one guy deleting all shit from npm and breaking worldwide babel installs or now raging toddlers deleting their repos with no actual readme notice or atleast placeholder repo and telling others to do the same

jesus fucking christ, how can the same person have developed such intricate package and then be an absolute manbaby throwing shit at strangers

me: hey prof, i dont know why this is wrong
*points out where its wrong*
prof: hmmm let me see
prof: u see its wrong here. thats why it doesnt work
*points at the exact same thing i pointed out*

A: Done job for today.
B: Let me check your code.
A: Sure.
B: Only 6 lines of code in a day?
A: Yup, 6 line of code is better than 1000 thousand line that can do the same thing.
B: 😑😑😑

People who actually implement DRY: "Don't repeat yourself!"

People who "implement" DRY but are morons: "Don't repeat yourself, never say the same thing twice, and try not to be redundant."

I loved her from the beginning.
I devoted so much of my time to her. She told me her heart doesn't point to anyone. Yet I tried to reach her.

Everytime I ask her what's wrong, she gives me the same answer. I tried to be different. I changed things. Yet she said the same thing again today: "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Aren't the spirits of the two mottos the same?

"72-10 don't mean a thing without the ring!"

"It's null till you ship it."

So I like to order the same thing for each restaurant. And there's this really good Mexican restaurant. Every time I eat there, the price of my order is $13.37. That is all.

So, today a client said: "If you are a web developer, well you can make me a damn mobile app. It's the same fooking thing, you just write code and make it go on my device. I want a whatsapp-like app for my company."

I really, really wanted to punch him on his godamn face... At the end I spent tbe rest of the meeting explaining that I don't develop mobile apps since I'm a web developer and that it is NOT THE SAME THING. He went angry and said "Well, I think I'll find a better dev somewhere else. You are a useless one"

Come on guys ... Everyone was young once we all thought java and JavaScript were basically the same thing! ...

Granted I was 7... when I learnt the truth....

When you've spent DAYS coding, testing, and perfecting a custom function...

... and the very next day IntelliSense shows you the built-in method that does exactly the same thing.

Cross platform terminal library is just about complete!

Here's the same program running in both Windows and "Ubuntu" (WSL, but it's using the ncurses back-end nonetheless)

What my library does:
- Double-buffers the console for drawing (like curses does)
- Translates input into a standard structure (Linux and Windows have different input systems, obviously)
- Does the same thing for output
- Even supports color!

My roommate: why do you look so mad.

Me: stupid program is broke

My roommate: didn't you fix it yesterday?

Me: yes. I broke some thing else

Roommate: oh on a different project?

Me: nope same one.

Roommate: [walks away more confused than when the conversation started]

Why the fuck are all templating engines called after synonyms of the same thing?

Laravel has Blade
ASPNET has Razor
Node has Edge

You know how people say insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result? Those people have never done different things and gotten the same result.

The bad thing about programming is that you can copy paste working code from a previous program on the same machine, same IDE and it still won't give a fuck.. I'm currently here.

When you spend countless hours working on a new feature and realize that there was this google API which could do the exact same thing the whole time..... -.-

WTF is an agilist? Am I a codist now? This crap is getting out of hand. I’m really starting to dislike this industry- it’s the same thing we’ve been doing for years people, you’re just putting fancy names and certifications on top of it now.

So I have attended AWS tech bootcamp yesterday and today.

One thing I notice is everyone either have Mac laptop or other laptops with Win10.

I'm probably the only one with Linux distro. 🤔

I feel special and at the same time, lonely.

Don't you just love it when the lead developer/project manager comes in and totally revamps your code even though it does the same exact thing as it was written before? And then when it's not working he blames you because it's in GIT as your commit...

3rd time the DB schema has been completely redone since starting this project.

3rd time I'm rewriting the back-end of this login.

But... 3rd time I'm getting paid for the same thing so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I only see rants here about people who post to StackOverflow. I use it a lot but all questions i wanted to know were usually answered so I just had to search for them. I never posted something there and don't even have an account. Anyone else doing the same thing?

COBOL is something I use at work. Typically, you see IF blocks like this

IF condition
Stuff
END-IF.

But the END-IF part if actually optional. You can just use a period and it does the same thing.

IF condition
Stuff.

Many headaches if not caught when reading.

What the user says and what they mean are rarely the same thing.

So Apple, you're telling us developers that instead of using keyboard shortcuts, we're supposed to use the touch bar instead? Oh and also carry 20 adapters to do the same thing we could do with the 2015 MacBook Pro?

Test the same thing, in multiple places.

When someone says Java and Javascript are the same thing.

Friday afternoon, I forgot to push.
There I am. Doing the same thing all over again.

The same thing I do every year, Pinky.

Try to take over the world!

Fuck you, autocorrect.

If I type the same thing, the exact god damn same cunting thing, multiple times will you just fucking accept that I am actually intending to write that word and move on?!

You fucking cunt!

Python prorammers ignore this.

Oh so now we got a fucking new fight started on devRant on which line to put brackets on.
Fucking why!!??
Both conventions basically mean same thing and even no fucking ide is partial about the fact.
Stop it!

Public feature request: If we tap at "devRant", the feed refreshes. Can we have the same thing for rants? My shitty internet at home is fast, but choppy so when I check my notifications and it doesn't load the rant, I have pretty much no idea what that notification was about.

So accurate... and if I try to call the customer care the recorded voice says the same exact thing: “minus....”

Today I dropped and updated a database to override it with local changes. Turned out the same dB was used by another project.

I just destroyed a week worth of work and content.

Good thing I took a dump before dropping everything. Got it running in 5 Minutes

I gave you a chance, Nvidia. It could have been a good thing, but no. You are still crap. About two years ago, my son's graphics card (an Nvidia) died, so I thought, I'll give him my nice Radeon card, and got myself a new card. For some reason, reason failed me, and I got a GTX 1070. It's been a nice enough card, and worked well. And then the last driver update happened. Fallout 4 started to CTD before it even booted to the main menu. Me, not thinking (again) thought it was a mod, so I uninstalled and deleted and reinstalled again, with all 120 mods. Nope. Still crashing. Then I noticed, as the game booted, the fans started to ramp up, and I could tell exactly when it would crash be the sound of fans. I was expecting the computer to taxi out the room. Rolled the driver update back to the last one that worked. Now I can log in again, and things are mostly stable. Still crashes, but not as bad, probably due to reloading the mods and missing something. When the RX 3080 hits the market, bye bye Nvidia. You haven't changed a bit over the years. We're through.

999 frameworks that do the same thing and every year 1 of them becomes the fad and many things written in last year's fad gets rewritten in new one.

One thing I wanted to say here before:

The more the community of DevRant grows, the more "repeated" posts it will have. It's totally usual on social networks when they start to grow.

So, instead of saying bad things to people who post the same stuff, just ignore it and keep the community growing. :)

So the incompetence of this knob-head are unbelievable, so in our company there's a particular method that required to return object specific way like
{
'a' : 'b',
{
'c' : 'd',
'e' : 0,
}
};
}

which somehow will be use everywhere in the project, I decided to create a constant class therefore anyone can use it and prevent redundant code. (re write the same thing over and over again). He decided to tell me to rewrite the same method for every-time I needed to return data.

My method is to avoid writing the same thing in repetition , that is why I place a method in a constant class where I call every-time I need to return those data in the specific way.

But he prefer writing it in repetition. OMG

I probably just found out that a table in our db has two columns for the same thing. And yes, the numbers are non-trivial and do not always match each other. My senior is now looking into it and it seems hilariously painful.

I'm a little confused here. How are "viruses" different from "exploits" in Linux? The way I see it, they're the exact same thing. Although "exploit" makes it sound cool 😂

Anyone else change their avatar almost daily? It feels dirty to wear the same thing everyday I think I'd start to stink...

"Hey, maybe we should do this! Why aren't we doing this?"

We are, this is on the roadmap and we just discussed it last week. Why bother discussing and documenting it if you are not even gonna read it? I'm tired of repeating the same thing over and over again.

A simple poll

Let's say there is a program or whatever sort of thing that does the exact same thing except the gui...

1. A shitty gui with default buttons, etc but with ok paddings and margins so that it is a bit usable (if it is a web app, no css) -- 5MB

2. A super cool 1337 h4X0R looking gui with awesome animations -- 100MB

What is your choice?

Fucken Designers - Have you ever heard of fucken consistency?

Different looks and feels for the same thing in every single page? Wat the fuck man - I am trying to write clean and modular code for components and you guys are making hard -

Bomb Alert:
Fuck Designers *middle finger*

That moment when you come to post something on devRant and you find someone else's post about the exact same thing :/

Most useless feature: an extension that did the exact same thing as an opensource extension so that the company could hide the code and not include licenses (???)

ps.: they obviously used open source frameworks and libraries

It's weird listening to my father "rant" about all the things he has to fix when visiting his parents, some welding, changing tire and switching lightbulbs. When he does the exact same thing with me regarding laptops, routers, smartphones and tablets..

DevRant should have a sort by random I am tired of reloading and get basically the same thing but in different orders

Here comes the sleep time again. Now I will think about all the amazing stuff that I can build tomorrow and make it big out there just to wake up and do the same thing again and again till I go to sleep and repeat this cycle. Peace.

IHateForALiving: I created a trigger on the model, every time you perform a save it should fire an event. You're calling the same methods I am, and the trigger is NOT firing. Are you sure we are running in the same process?
TheTeamLeader: I'm manually starting this whole piece of code in your same process, there must be something wrong on your side if it's not working

90 minutes of debugging later

TheTeamLeader: there's the thing! Your hooks are registered in a separate process, of course they are not firing
IHateForALiving:

Ugh, tried to update to high Sierra, it has been like half an hour and still it's stuck here saying the same thing "44 minutes". What should I do guys?

One good thing about taking a dump at work is that no matter how senior or junior you are, the sounds are pretty much the same.

Oh god! Why did I change to Ubuntu!!! This machine is running hotter and slower!!! Battery drains faster than ever!

There's no going back to windows 10... looking back, I love windows 10 despite its faults :')

Did anyone else experience the same? First thing I'm doing in the morning is install arch linux

Semantic bug:

Updooting someone's rants until you scroll down and realize they're the same person who said a moronic thing you have already downdooted in the past.
Then contemplating if you should take all the updoots back. 😐

Client calls me, 10am in the Sunday, complaing that there's something wrong with the system, the same thing he called me last week and I told him to observe and double check every time he closes a POS sale. So far, the error hasn't happened till today, Sunday again.

Spending hours making the same thing work just as well as it did before

Weekly status reports. BITCH, I'M TOO BUSY WORKING TO TELL YOU WHAT I DID THIS WEEK.

Mine are also almost always the same:
"fixed broken thing"
"worked on reports for broken thing"
"helped new teammates fix broken thing"
ISSUES REQUIRING ATTENTION:
"my connection is still shit, like i warned would happen before I moved"
"need workstation already connected to network to reduce connection problems"

These don't help the people who need to be micromanaged, and they just piss off those of us who don't.

Ever got that thing, when your IDE says that you have a syntax error in your code, and you reread it again and again and just can't see it, so you just delete the whole thing and write it again - exactly the same - but now it compiles fine?

So in my company there is one other person that has exactly the same first name and last name as me, but that doesn't do dev thing.

Knew that one day I'd receive a mail that was destined to him.

When searching for "microsoft" in Ubuntu apps, it results in all libreoffice apps. And similarly, a search for "microsoft word", shows "libreoffice writer" as a result and same thing happens with other microsoft office products.

A very simple thing but pretty neat if you ask me.

When management hire consultants to tell them the same thing you're telling them. It's just more meaningful because they paid more for the information.

Sensible question but I am asking it here!
As you know wifi packets can be sniffed using kali and a wifi adaptor.
I was wondering if the same thing can be done about car remote using raspberry pi ?
(I know theft is illegal everywhere and I'm not looking for trouble)

Of course the first thing I do when I sat at my desk is to update my Firefox. And I realized that chrome also needs an update.

I remember clearly that I just updated everything yesterday. So Google released updates on the same date as Mozilla.

Coincidence? Don't think so.

Finally, after 42 days of in development, I can proudly say my game reached Alpha stage. All core mechanics are in place. I hope I'll be able to say the same thing for Beta in next 6 weeks too!

To be honest, I could do it better, but I didn't had much time.

so now they even have a name for not being an idiot...

its called a "composible" architecture as apposed to a "monolith"

what if i told you it's all the same?

(i'll even throw in a bonus and say that a "microservice" architecture is still a monolith - because you need all your damn microservices working together for the full product or service anyway!!! and thats a monolith!!!!)

wow, you've "decoupled" your frontend from your backend? with this fancy thing called an "API"? well, what the hell else was anyone doing in the past decade? ITS THE SAME THING YOU DUMBASS

god i swear its 🤡 all the way down, just inventing new words for the same thing over and over again. idiots. idiots everywhere

i'm just so happy we have "composible" architectures now ❤️ thank god for that

Is there anything worse than maintaining two versions of the same application? Checking out two branches and submitting two pull requests for each and every single thing is killing my productivity. 😔

Ugh! So boring writing the same thing over and over! So instead I wrote a ruby script to generate some C# code for me!

Honestly...I just make excuses to do stuff with Ruby 😂

When your PR has been sitting for days, and your co-worker submits a PR for the same thing and merges it right away.

For the umpteeth time, head hunters Java and Javascript are NOT THE SAME THING!!!

So we have 4 web apps that do basically the same thing with some nuances...

Just realized this today by trying to do something in one that is already working in 3 of them and wondering: what the fuck?

Recruiter wrote me to see if i was interested in a java frontend dev role - my answer:
Just as a fyi - java and javascript is like car and carpet - not the same thing :)

When a job portal of a company wants your current and permanent address (I still don't know why) and EXPLICITLY wants you to type your address all over again, coz they are the SAME DAMN THING, makes me wonder if I should apply to the company at all.

Dear Users
USERNAME@example.com and username@example.com means same thing. What the fuck is wrong with you?

whose idea was it to give the business major access to the database? we have one thousand tables that do the same thing or absolutely nothing, everything is badly named, and THE GRAMMAR

QA vs Devs

QA PERSON 1: "They are sending the same thing again!? Did they actually make some change or do they think we're stupid and won't notice that it's the same as the last one?"
QA PERSON 2: "Is this a game of chicken? - Who caves in to the pressure first, loses."
QA PERSON 3: "Nah, it's not a big deal, just let it pass... it's going to be easier for everyone. It's not a critical thing."

On the dev side:
"They accepted it this time, with no changes. LOL They're stupid and useless."

When your drunk friend keeps on repeating the same thing to make you believe it.

For God's sake why can't you just keep consistency across your fucking files? I have to parse 3 different XML files from the same source where I have "ZipCode", "zipCode" and "Code" for the same thing.

Not to mention that the file that contains all the streets in the country have literally one street node for every motherfucking street. Not one city parent and multiple street children that would make sense and would be faster to parse, but clearly that wasn't your intention you retarded cunt.

It's amusing seeing something new on r/ProgrammerHumor and a few hours later seeing the same thing posted to devRant. Almost like there's a bot with a 2 hour delay posting to devRant.

That's also when I realized painting was never to be my thing.

I thought iPhone simulator was ONE THING that worked smoothly but NO, it is also a load of crap, hogging away the memory. Can’t develop ANYTHING without spoiling the mood because of this slow performance. It’s the same with android studio, Xcode, android emulators, and now simulator with vscode is doing the same thing. It’s 2020 you’d think a developer can write code smoothly on a huge MacBook Pro but no what a fucked up world, I’m hungry again, I have eaten up everything what to do I hate fruits !!

Guess fullstack is now the trending thing. Read a book on javascript and code examples in the book, do same thing with python or any other backend.
As soon as you are done, add fullstack to your bio.

So many newbies following this path. Coding up alot of examples with no real depth in any particular language.

F**k this. Exactly The same site is displaying differently. Only thing changed? On left access is by local IP, on right by URL using no-ip.

One of my relative thinks I spend all my time googling and searching the web. She thought that another relative of ours was also a programmer because he does the same thing. He was a commerce student.

Every time I read some script kiddy insult here I just think: "you propably did the same thing 10 years ago, not JS but PHP, but it was the same level of shitfuckery and the C/C++ Devs looked the same way at you you look at NodeJS developers now."

Nothing shits me more than being interrupted every two hours for a "huddle". Shove your buzzword up your ass and fuck off so I can actually get some work done. What am I currently working on? The same fucking thing I was doing before you interrupted me again for a status update.

why the hell there are "jpeg -> jpg" converters out there if the both are the same goddamn thing?

@dfox

Notifications are busted again!
++ still come through, but mentions are dead 🥲

Anyone seeing the same thing?

!rant, story

Wonder if I’m alone on this:
I have habits.
Always use the same cup, with very same amount of coffee grounds. Same four presses with the same fingers on the coffee machine.
Same way I place the cups in my desk. Same way I carry my notebook, same way I dry my hands. Same exact spot I place my card on the rfid reader. Use same elevator, same locker. God.
You name it, I do it on my own particular way.

Thing is, that I think about it. I do it consciously. I am just happier if things stay the way they are. It not just muscle memory thing.

Not judging here, just wonder if there’s people who can relate as much 🧐

I always thought that "double equals" and "is" meant the same thing in python.

When I was doing replacements in a text file manually and some smug coder did the same thing in 5 min after I'd spent a day doing it ...

I refuse to believe that I'm the only person with a text file full of my frequently used scripts in different languages with no particular assortment
Because I find it slightly stupid to rewrite the same thing over again every single damn time

Einstein: Insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results.

Me [After my code fails to compile]: Let me change nothing and run it again.

The same thing I planned to do for wk100... Take over the world!

SQL collation conflicts are the worst thing that has ever been made possible in humanity... it's 1000 times worse than problems with time zones, change my mind.

Fuck off whoever decided to make hundreds of different versions of the same languages.

Question PHP folks. Is it a standard to write:
public function hair()?

Writing only:
function hair() is just the same thing to the above. It will default to "public" hair right? 🤔 maybe just a PSR-2 standard or for readability? Thanks!

I've seen some of the videos that I downloaded from the internet are only playable through one particular application. How did they do it? How can I implement the same thing with my application? What technology should I research on to know more about this?

const int pi = 3.14;

This is the worst example ever to explain what a constant is to students.
I knew a lot of guys who think that math constants and programming constants were the same thing

Am I the only one who hates Java but really likes C#?

I don’t know why, they’re basically the same thing, one is basically just a Microsoft clone of the other

First thing Wednesday morning, fired up the macbook, opened vs code, ran the same unit tests that were passing last night, 1 failure! FML.

For some reason an Angular form that was valid with the same data last night isn't this morning. Probably some crappy date issue in the mock data

I hate web development, I didn’t study CS to make web sites, I like learning new things but when web development is involved and especially certain libraries and frameworks, it seems that I always have to learn again the same thing with a different flavor and I feel stuck in the same place… and at the end of the day it is always form this, validate that, download those AARGH!!

Maybe it is just a bad day

One advice I've given to most junior developers which they've practically benefited from is...
"Avoid duplicate comments between interfaces and their base class at all times".
As a smartly-lazy dev, you shouldn't enjoy writing same thing multiple times... be it code or comment, don't write it twice!

When the web conf guy bores you with very stupid and slow tech! 😐

I already have better tech for the same thing, why do you even bother to sell yourself!

Oh look I'm posting the same thing again because all logical patheways lead to the same fucking place.

Sort of binary tree with a few keys added visualized.

I hate the word "Proactive"

What does that even mean? You add the prefix pro- to the word "active" and you get the same thing! Why not just say active?!

We're talking an active approach

We're taking a proactive approach

See, they mean the same thing and the first version doesn't make you sound like a douche.

I still can't understand why people put 2 stickers of the same thing/product (devRant) on a single item (laptop, etc.).

Does every project have that guy who likes everything organized and strives for it, but at the same time there is nothing to organize because he doesn't do a thing?

So after working on a website for like a month to make it kinda pixel perfect in every resolution on every device the web designer just tells me "ok, you should move this whole thing up 30px"

Ok, no problem, I change the CSS for that div and make it all go up 30px

The very next day he tells me the while thing is fucked up and not aligned any more

I mean, is was all the same as before, nothing changed!

man you can tell some of these course selling companies are poorly managed (or rather, perhaps NOT managed) when you have to do the same thing over and over again for over TWO YEARS

HELLOOOOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING... PLEASE PUBLISH MY COURSE NOW

if i'd put the damn thing on Udemy when it was done i'd already be 2-3K richer

...damn, i gotta taper off here with the rage before i reveal my identity at 10K

🤡🤡🤡🤡

IIS curse you and your nuances!

I launch my local web application (which was working fine) and now get CORS errors and 404 not found. Wtf. I clean the solution rebuild, same thing. Then I restart my PC and try again. Same thing.

Then I use Firefox instead if chrome and it magically works. Wtf!

It's hard to fix broken things when they fix themeselves afyer trial and error

When you are boss and the boss has different views for the same thing🤨 and you are screwed which direction to follow.

Noticing something weird. Is it normal that I cant scroll down on algo and that I already red them all?
I restarted devrant but same thing happens.

How come that im absolute shit when it comes to designing a webpage but i can make really fucking cool looking android apps, when they are essentially the same thing

I don't know how it works in other countries, but in Hungary the best workplace where you can have a beer and good time with your colleagues after work. Is it same thing at your country? :)

It’s the only thing I know.

Allows me to be lazy sitting at the same place and work.

Has paid the bills consistently over the past several years.

That feeling when you mess up and you need to add a new commit and mention in the commit message that the previous commit ( that you created ) was a mistake.

I'd be happy to do the same thing if it was someone else's mess up.

Programming is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different resutls

I always thought Software Engineer, Software Developer and Software Programmer are same thing.

After a whole weeks working, I understand that developing a responsive html email for outlook is something totally different with doing the same thing for other mail boxes.

You know what's fucked up a part of debugging? Preparing a fucking word "report" document, in which the table wouldn't align properly.

Seriously, I hate my university's grading criteria. They ask first to send 'weekly reports', and after internship ask for 'final report' which consists the same fucking thing.

Sass.

I'm using the @use directive to avoid bundling the same thing a hundred thousand times.

Sass doesn't give a flying fuck and bundles the same thing a hundred thousand times

Why you must hurt me like this

When angular developer is trying to explain the difference between the directive ngClick and ngSubmit.
NGClick allow you to execute custom functions when an element us clicked. NgSubmit, do the same thing but it's different.

One intern showed me an issue he was facing. "Delete" button was not working in a HTML page he had developed, but edit button is working properly. I checked the code both buttons had same id "edit72-btn". I said to him you need to use unique id in a page.

The thing he said next made a speechless. I was just looking at his face.

He said "edit72-btn and del72-btn are almost same, couple of characters are different. Are they going to work?"

Scala is as horrible as Java. Been using Java at uni and once having discovered the simplicity and beauty of other languages (Python, golang), never went back.

Currently trying some apache projects (kafka streams, apache flink) where Scala is native. Same crap as Java. Needs 10x lines to write the same thing, abstraction over abstraction, and intuitive = 0. Why tf did it even got invented?

When waiting for that Cronjob to run to confirm its working okay, then modifying the script and go through the same thing over and over again.

If I just try another way to do the same thing my broken code tries to do, either the new version makes my mistake obvious or everything just works.

Is this debugging? It's just rewriting. It seems faster than debugging.

"Legibility is not the same thing as readability. " - Arlen Britton

Pops: Came in the city with only 100 bucks.

Manager: Started project from scratch.

Misused phrases by non-tech people I can't stand in 2020: "the new normal" & "telework". It's like how in 2018 everyone used "algorithm" like they knew what they were talking about. Same thing in 2007 with "accelerometer".

Is interview preparation and competitive programming the same thing? If they are different which one should one focus on?
🤔🤔🤔

I was development a webapp, when it was well advanced I thought "it's time to decide a name" so I googled the name I was thinking and I found a website with that name. I opened it and it's pretty much the very same thing I was developing. FML

wtf devs, you working hard to make updates and then complaining other apps doing same thing: making themself better. wtf?

GoDaddy has had me on hold to fix a WordPress update issue that is likely their fault. I've been on hold for 41 minutes. And their hold music is the same stuff that's been playing for over 2 years now, that I'm aware of. Send help. Good thing this is all billable time.

I just don't know what the hell to call myself. So many titles that to employers mean the exact same thing, but have different salaries.

Tiktok hearing. What a shitshow and blame game. These idiots who don't produce anything crying foul, meanwhile facebook, instagram, google, bing does the exact same thing.

It was a predetermined kangaroo court. Reflects of the US decline. And yeah idiots who also don't build anything will complain about tiktok without understanding anything.

Frameworks piss me off... So many to out there that are over engineered and complicated... And achieve exactly the same fucking thing...

started watching silicon valley. I thought why arent the unassigned guys working on side or personal projects, then i realized i might do the same thing.

Do you also write long detailed emails to clients when working freelance / distance that your clients ignore and keep asking questions or inquiring things that are already answered in that email?

Sometimes I have to ask for the same thing three times in order to get an answer

Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with teaching interns that you have to teach them the same thing over and over and over again? Starting to get a little annoying.

Android: Gboard has stopped

Close app
Send feedback

(ok, try again, same thing)

presses "send feedback" - O_o and how exactly do I type now?

The startup/investor culture has already flooded the industry with loads of useless products by unprofitable companies pushing their garbage onto the market, now the same thing is happening with "AI" based bullshit. What's next?

Looks like there are new horribly regurgitated packages in python nowadays which somehow my boss keeps finding I don't know how , which have shorter commands that take more and more time to run because they are just attaching these smaller tags to bigger tags and so on.

And my boss doesn't understand that there's such a thing called as overhead time ffs and it takes the same fucking time to run that same shit and maybe more because the new packages don't have a proper fucking API.

That's what you want to see first thing in the morning.

Even worse, I slept about 3 hours last night on the same repo.
