So this guy passed large objects as function arguments directly instead of referencing. What a jackass. So the program was slow as fuck AND taking up too much memory.

So yeah, I'm basically ranting about myself.

Storytime!

Manager: Hey fullstackchris, the maps widget on our app stopped working recently...

Dev: (Skeptical, little did he know) Sigh... probably didn't raise quota or something stupid... Logs on to google cloud console to check it out...

Google Dashboard: Your bill.... $5,197 (!!!!!!) Payment method declined (you think?!)

Dev: 😱 WTF!?!?!! (Calls managers) Uh, we have HUGE problem, charges for $5000+ in our google account, did you guys remove the quota limits or not see any limit reached warnings!?

Managers: Uh, we didn't even know that an API could cost money, besides, we never check that email account!

Dev: 🤦‍♂️ yeah obviously you get charged, especially when there have literally been millions of requests. Anyway, the bigger question is where or how our key got leaked. Somewhat started hammering one of the google APIs with one of our keys (Proceeds to hunt for usages of said API key in the codebase)

Dev: (sweating 😰) did I expose an API key somewhere? Man, I hope it's not my fault...

Terminal: grep results in, CMS codebase!

Dev: ah, what do we have here, app.config, seems fine.... wait, why did they expose it to a PUBLIC endpoint?!

Long story short:

The previous consulting goons put our Angular CMS JSON config on a publicly accessible endpoint.

WITH A GOOGLE MAPS API KEY.

JUST CHILLING IN PLAINTEXT.

Though I'm relieved it wasn't my fault, my faith in humanity is still somewhat diminished. 🤷‍♂️

Oh, and it's only Monday. 😎

Cheers!

This is so fucking relatable.
Everytime there's atleast one dumbass in the organisation who frequently does this exact thing.

So getting fired if they find my account.

ever got stuck so bad you don't even know what to google?

So this guy is supposed to do the frontend.
I do the backend.
I offer an endpoint.
He does his HTML+CSS magic.
Me: Cool but data is hardcoded. Could you get the data from the endpoint I sent you?
Him: "I'd prefer you do that, I can make a git repo so you download the front."

... So you don't do frontend, you just write pretty layouts. And I have to actually write the frontend logic? Go f yourself.

so true...

Here we f**king go again ... part 3.

#speechless

I am so done ~

My soft skills are so soft they don’t even exist

Gotta say, just having a break from everything is so god damn nice.

*attempting to flirt at the bar*
Hey! I'm a full stack developer, so I can do your frontend and your backend

So this guy was struggling using grep everywhere for navigating C source code. What a douche. Told him about ctags. Made my life easier.

Manager: Messages not visible! bug ticket!!!!

Dev: oh fuck, there's an issue with our chat system, not good! _inspects ticket_ oh, it's just a display issue that actually is according to the previous spec, yawn...

Dev: please describe the bug better next time, I though we had a major outage, this is simply a small design issue...

Manager: ...

Dev: ...

I think I'm quitting soon guys. I literally do not get paid enough to deal with these incompetent idiots each day.

Meanwhile:

Management: forget your shitty salary, take one for the team, you get 3% of the shares in the company!!!!

Dev: what fucking shares, you haven't even converted to a corporation yet, THERE ARE NO SHARES

Management: ...

Dev: ...

Oh yeah and they called me at 6:30 PM today: "so i guess you are winding down for the day"

fuck outta here i haven't been working since 5 you fucks

jesus i swear some people need to screw their fucking head on straight, so far gone into the hUsTlE CuLtUrE they don't even know what reality is anymore

So, seems like I'll be continuing my research career, via a PhD in AI. 👀🤞

Bobcat puts up with so much

I’m so stupid for not starting a Youtube channel or buying Bitcoin.

Finally solved the mystery, why / and * are together on my keyboard so that there is no problem for me to use single line comment and multi-line comment.

so poetic

Relationship Status: just tried to reach for my dog's paw and he pulled it away so I pretended I was reaching for the remote.

Inflation is so bad now.

Nickelback was just renamed to Quarterback...

THIS ISN'T HARD

I actively avoided looking at my coworker code because i didnt want to micro manage. God i was so wrong

How can I feel so smart and so dumb at the same time?

0/0 = ∞
so effectively I have infinite money now.

Why are there a million websites that scrap and republish stack overflow content? SEO induced page hits for fraudulent publicity?
Whatever the reason I hate them so much.

Now learning terminal. Why does it feel so fucking sexy?

so true...

I just found out one horse has about 15 horsepower and I’m so mad I can’t think straight.

Reading 3GPP standards is so painful. I download a document to read it. A month or so later, an updated version is out. I need to download it again. It's so annoying to keep checking. I guess I'll have to write yet another script for yet another fucking problem.

The documents themselves are not that good too. My work would be a lot easier if there is a web interface for the standards.

Dear Client,

Being a complete and utter asshole does not make your website get developed any faster, so you can kindly fug off.

In a new country and in isolation.
Laptop out of charge. Plug converter broke so cannot connect my laptop to power.
Ordered one. Need to wait one whole day for it to arrive.
Perfect gloomy weather to just reflect my mood.
Not even allowed to go out for a walk.
Wrote down some pseudo on paper so I don’t forget.
Only to realise there was a problem with it.
So I rewrote it correctly.
Now just waiting.

Frontend dev: Hey, could you break HTTP conventions and change the API so I don't have to manage the context of the request?

I visited my friend at his new house. He told me to make myself at home. So I threw him out. I hate having visitors.

"my app was already hacked so now it has natural immunity"

The WP Gutenberg editor is really amazing. Clients can now fuck up their websites with much less effort. So yeah, IT IS FASTER.

Just so we're clear....😑

Doing so much paperwork I basically have no time for the actual work. 😐

Ofc github goes down right when i need it. DAMN YOU microsoft. Its down for 2 hours now or so.

So yeah, I’m at the “Fuck this shit let’s go on a random ass solo motorcycle trip this weekend” stage of my programming career.

Guys, give me one more ++ so that I also can have an avatar 😔

..crying in a corner.. 😢

So apparently a gooey has to be developed.

Your mama's so FAT she can't save files bigger than 4GB.

My wife is really mad at the fact that I have no sense of direction.
So I packed up my stuff and right.

So Microsoft edge now suspects chrome is unsafe??

I laughed so hard 😂😂

IS IT REALLY SO FUCKING HARD TO CARE ABOUT CODE QUALITY AND READABILITY FFS

I'm glad I handed in my notice. So long, client-database-update.xlsx. I will never again have to suffer your absurd inconsistencies

taxes. what the actual fuck? I finally graduated and got my first 6 figure job, only to find out the federal government basically takes 1/3 of my pay??? WHAT??? Why are we all okay with this? I feel fucking robbed. I worked so hard to get here, so many sleepless nights, so many all nighters studying, just to get 1/3 of my money stolen from me? what the fuck?????

I had to make Google forms but it got boring after sometime (with drag and drop). So, I ended up learning regex. Phew! That was little hard.

So can yooooooooooouuuuuuu guysssssss see the meeeeeeeeme?

!Dev
So today I got a gig for plumbing. So I did it anyway. Here are the picture of what I did. Now they can flush their shit down to the sewer. (Where most of my former bosses are)

Can I add user to ignore list so his rant doesn’t show up on my feed?

I am so much frustrated today because my HR forgot to gave me my incremented salary.. :(

Work so hard until your coworkers know you as the guy who had a nervous breakdown.

So I'm making money now...

Thanks so much for the stressball! I definitely need it @ work! 😂

I got mad chasing a fly. I accidentally punched a window which slashed my wrist so off to the ER 🙃🫠

I love you all so much

Most people on Twitter:
Pinned tweet is self-promotional in nature, either advertising some accomplishment, something they’re selling, or introducing people to what they’re about as a person.

Me:

I contributed to my first open source project on GitHub. It is so much better and fun to do. Why have I not been doing this since 🤔😊😁

So far my situation.

So I was watching Adam Savage’s Tested on Youtube about VR prototypes and I finally found out who Zuckerberg reminded me the most.

devrant needs DRAFT.

I left so many rants unposted because I felt stupid or cringy AF after writing it.

Why am I so fucking bad with estimates? I am literally 20 hours over on this one thing because it’s so goddamn annoying to deal with.

Stakeholder: Users are connecting invalid memberships to their web accounts. They shouldn’t be able to do that.

Me: Their memberships were valid when they set up the account. Your team’s record de-duping project is the issue here. You decided to mark those memberships as invalid.

I’m real tired of this stakeholder acting like this is a website issue or user error. Plus, this chaos could have been avoided if they and other involved stakeholders had just cc’d me on this de-duping project. I would have said their approach was not a good idea. But they didn’t because they want to do what’s convenient for them. If they want to be a reliable source of truth for our data, then they need to be responsible with how they’re handling that data.

😕
What unusual things have you been asked to do so far?

So Germany is considering banning Telegram. How are you feeling today though?

any of you like your job? I'm so used to reading rants, sometimes i think everyone is just depressed all the time

So the next O’rly book I can imagine for this project is:

How did I ended in this microservices nightmare?

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO CENTER A DIV

i'm so tired of seeing what's going on, and having no power to influence it.

but still having to be here.

So tired I've been hitting Esc for a while instead of on button.

Why are all (or at least 90%) the programming courses so booooring?

So it turns out that one of our systems is so fucking old that its Log4j is off the hook. What they say of blessings being disguised as curses is real.

My team lead is so good at task delegation that I suspect she’s going to start delegating the task delegation to us soon.

My military CS role interview is coming in 2 days. So fucking excited!!

I feel so weird looking up some things when doing LaTeX, for example "latex images".

Management: Our internal app must be 100% rigid so that we users follow predefined process flows exactly so no mistakes are made while also being 100% flexible so that users are free to go about their business in whatever way they feel is appropriate for their own unique needs. These are the requirements!

Dev: …

A colleague at work always says L.O.L. to jokes instead of actually laughing. So fucking annoying I feel like punching him in the face! 😤

So uh do any hot babes want to study Euclidean sequencing and chill today?

was asked if i want stock options during an interview so i said i just care about my salary

fuck my nervous-mode self

So this is how YouTube handles overflow/trims text 🤭

I swear my brain has 2 sides:
1: c or c++ would be great for this project
2: lol c++ hard so nodejs
1: but c++ would be so much faster and c-
2: NODEJS

Why the hell is JS so terrible, and why do so many people resort to using is as a back end. So many packages, so many outdated dependencies. My coworkers and friends have heard me rant about my constant frustration with this terrible setup.

I understand the need for dynamic html but why have we bastardized this language to the extent we have.

Keep your projects up to date, it saves people a lot of trouble in the future.

It's so difficult to scale for this type of load...

Why is the bar so fucking low in this field?

"I need the login credentials for the CMS service"

*sends the email confirmation email*

"No, I can't confirm your email for you. In plain English: send me the email and password to login."

"Ohhhhhhhhh"

Literally what the fuck is wrong with these people.

I swear we're all fucking doomed.

Inspired from Jase's face reveal, doing it again for me new friends.

Image in comments (so I can remove it later for privacy reasons).

Any tips on how to properly document my code? I'm going to start my first internship soon so I need to learn it.

Took a job at a bank for the money. The job is super boring. So much bureaucracy. I don't know what I am doing here...

The “if” statement works the same in every* language, so if you can code in one language, you can code in most of them.

*Terms and conditions apply.

Every work experience so far.

The first one... Internship abroad, very messy codebase, almost no code review.

At the end I was so tired I started watching movies during worktime.

So, I was just about to watch a tutorial on CSS.
Suddenly, an advertisement popped up.
"SO, YOU WANNA BE A FRONTEND ENGINEER AT GOOGLE".

Miss IRC so much

My LinkedIn status is set to "not interested for work offers" so recruiters won't bother me. So I thought..

Recruiters be like: well screw that, I'll use the connect button and push my stupid generic message into his face anyways.

Am I the only one the sometimes just makes a PR that won't fix the issue but at least shuts everybody up so I can investigate in peace.

I've ditched Python for Julia for scientific computing. Documentation is definitely not as great but I find it so much more convenient.

Facebook be like
We put react-dom in your react so you can dom while you react and we also put react-native in your react so you can native while you react but we also put react-native-web in your react so you can dom while you native while you react

It should have been named Monty and not Python. It is so misleading, now everyone thinks it is because of the snake

Me and my Jewish friend were eating lunch and I farted. He got mad so I said "cmon man a little gas never killed anyone".

Google's algorithms seem to act stupidly on purpose so we are mistaken to think we have nothing to fear from artificial intelligence.

I heard Google has prepared an AI for solving competitive programming questions by training models based on problems and solutions from GitHub.
*devil smile*...on my way to flood GitHub with wrong solutions. Ciao!

WHY ARE SOME MFS ARE SO FU****N RUDE IN DEVRANT?

📚What book would you recommend to software developers and why? 1 book per reply so people can ++ them.

Your rant was so bad DevRant crashed on click.

Need somebody to yell at me every evening so I get my shit together and draw something.

Practice makes perfect; rite?

And so.. I have noticed.. every time I ignore Windows updates for a little while.. the laptop just starts shitting. It gets so fucking slow that you can’t even move the cursor properly. So you have to force shut down the laptop and turn it ON.. and Windows starts updating!

Not at all irritating 😊

Oh man, it's so funny when people try to install npm via cmd and they can't understand, what fuck all errors they are getting.

my company's internet is so unstable today i havent been able to look up something on stackoverflow. how will i do my job without getting solution from stackoverflow?

**Sees a different error after hours of debugging the previous one**

ME (crying inside) - What type of sorcery is this?

People are so busy building their coding profiles, that they have forgotten to build themselves as human. 🙂

++ of it is true.

So why on earth would Postgres not spell this correctly?
```select rolname from pg_roles;```
Is it that someone could not spell rolename correctly?

Yes, I saw this somewhere and wanted to share. So I stole it.

Why Cisco Packet Tracer takes SO MUCH RAM?!

LeetCode is so confusing at times..
Same solution submitted 2 mins after beats 99% of solutions

These days I'm listening to french music so much.
Even when coding. Trust me I am loving it and productivity really increased.

I changed all my password to "incorrect"
So whenever i forget it will tell me "your password is incorrect"

This rant is to proof that we can start argument from any topic in devrant. So here's a topic:

C++

It's been like a decade since I first heard of Kotlin. So wanted to ask:

Kotlin, Yay or Nay?

So true…

Work so hard that you're too mentally exhausted to even think about how your life could be better or more enjoyable.

How is everyone in this community still coding so much? Just 4 years into my career my active coding has reduced to almost half.

When I just learned about PostgreSQL, I was pronouncing it like "postérgé", like protégé

why am I so cringe

So sorry, IT engineers

So that's what shopee is doing....

Once upon a time i have seen a block of code in a while (2 > 1) ... it was in C (or so i remember), but still...

So according to Glassdoor, I am null null.

Whyyyy the fuck do I have so many meetings!

Working with assholes is so annoying

So, i fucking finally got bash-scripting! FINALLY, you know how?! When I started treating it like a LISP. It's like walking on water, I feel fucking god-like. Total ego/power/ecstatic trip here, you guys have no idea. I mean, HOW COULD IT BE SO EASY AND I'D NEVER EVER SEEN IT THAT WAY. After so much hair loss, such a tiny view switch changed my whole way of looking at a terminal 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

google has crammed so many things in Gmail that,

I think they will port an entire OS in the future.

G-OS

Kinda wanna say my teammates are incompetent morons but the truth is I'm not much better

So saying that about them would be admitting it about myself

Me: I wonder why is everyone so afraid of k8s...

The tech world:

Am I the only engineer that has a terrible time with relationships(not db relationship lol) I get so caught up in work.

How do y’all manage?

How is the shopify developer experience actually so bad.

Shopify Buy JS docs suck
Product ID's are inconsistent
Token management is not built into GUI

I'm having a break from coding for the next hour.
So, please tell me....what's the best bread maker to buy?

So I am new to coding — excited to be learning but terrified to get out and find some sort of job when that time comes.

Why is there so much stuff to learn and know? I just want to be able to do everything myself in a week.

Not going insane due to lack of documentation.
In retrospect it may have been that I was still learning to properly apply and read docs so eh.

Kinda annoyed at NDA's right now

Can't discuss what I'm working on with old classmates for another opinion. And my co-workers are self-taught on this job as they needed so everything I'm doing seems like magic to them

So they're probably not going to spark that inspiration I need right now

And I can't reach out to the R&D department full of programers with this cause they're heavily behind so we're told no distracting them

Anyone else noticed how Comp Sci teachers are always useless so you just end up teaching yourself way more than they've taught you?

Improvement request: if search doesn’t return anything the search text is erased. It’d be nice if it didn’t so we can amend our search more easily.
Thanks 😀

Not even the weekend yet and I’m feeling this. So ready to retire. But still too early in my age.

When the team lead has no idea what the problem is but took too many public speaking courses so he’s really well-versed at feeding people bullshit…

Yo dawg, I heard you like writing code for code you already wrote. So I made you write some mock functions so you can write code for code you already wrote!

When you press restart instead of shutdown, and are hoping to see that one annoying program which always stops the shutdown, so you can cancel the restart.

Am I reposting? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So, I am going on vacations, don't have any returning plans rn ^~^
Don't miss your dad ಠ_ಠ

I've just finished installing Ubuntu Unity 22.04 on a new SSD installed on my wife's computer; it's so relaxing the fresh air of a new Linux distribution installed.

Hey babe, are you a less than 90 degree angle?

Because you’re so _acute_.

I don't like Chrome because Windows 10 forces it to perform slowly so that edge can perform better & people can fucking use it.

So I can't prune a private docker registry to free up space, because there is no space left 🤦🏽‍♂️

Two words, red bull.

I dont drink coffee often or drink it otherwise, so it gives a real kicker to the old brain.

Windows PC's are literally just consoles

Windows is trying to integrate WSL so badly but until it's seamless Windows just won't be a dev environment

College is great, but there are just so many classes where I feel like I'm wasting my time

The weather is so hot that I can use it as an excuse for the slowness of my brain melted software

Cool these chips better, not my fault

So then I said

Type "SUDO RM -RF /" and press enter.

So fucking pissed off.

i hate you, you and you AHHHHHH

This doesnt have to make sense.
This is a freakin rant for god's sake, not a pull request. I'm not tryna be the best ranter?? Dont mind this rant. Just scroll. B if u can only hear my scream right now from the other side of the world, it sure can cause another big bang.

F u, this sht, (oh ya it's profanity, i got no better term for what im feelin, gahh please rip my head off) and that too, and this one too, all of u

I HATE ALL OF YOU. I BLAME ALL OF YOU FOR ALL MY INCONSISTENCIES. YE, IM TIRED OF TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY. F THAT SHT COZ IT JUST RAISES EXPECTATIONS. I CAN'T EVEN MEET THE DEADLINES I SET FOR MYSELF.

The hell are ambitions and all that "dream life" they tryna sell. Those won't even matter when I can barely get my sht together. UGH. I haven't even seen my friends, the SUN, trees and all normal people things. Dang, I want fried chicken. I haven't had one for a while. I guess I should end this rant here and order one.

I must just be hungry, no?

Yo mama is so old, she knew Burger King while he was still a prince.

I don't even know anymore. Just so I can get a home I can die on?

I feel so immature to laugh at this post.

What's up with unofficial remixes on Spotify having the exact same name as the sampled tracks without any indication it's a remix. So annoying

Why are CSS animations so funny? I always have the best laughts when some page or element spin uncontrollably for no reason

So our junior dev constantly asks really obvious things. But this one question really takes the cake.
So we have a small programm that opens a file browser and puts the selected files path in a line edit text box. So he comes over to me and says its broken because he cant edit the path in the text box. Weird, this shouldnt happen at all. Turns out this more than braindead tortoise thought it was just a regular piece of uneditable text and didnt even try to edit it. Its a FUCKING OBVOIUS EDITABLE TEXTBOX!!!!!
I facepalmed so hard that moment you could hear the slap half a mile away!

I have so much to rant about it's all stuck!

copy and pasting in two screens is so fun.

My Passport number has “69” and “410”.

So close!

Stackoverflow 's UI is so unique today

In order to be handsome, I tried to wash my face with handsoap.

So this is the only hands-on hand-job I got into.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked what would happen if we sent a duplicate request to our partner; nobody knew. This week we found out, as it turns out, not great things.

I have to make a change to one of our web apps today. I hate front end, the code for this is terrible, the fix is going to be horrible and hacky.
I really miss having some kind of motivation for this work, it would make life easier.
Instead it’s just one empty pointless day after another.

How to relax when you need to do so much context switching, many meetings and then your own work?
My breaks are not enough for recharging me.

So Today the interviewer dont know how to interview me, I feel like interviewing myself.

b) Does his job WELL.

A thread of Rittenhouse facts
I learned watching trial

So many spread lies
I couldn’t keep my silence
RIP follower count

So many years passed but ios app still randomly shuts down… Did devs give up on this platform?

Im kind of a generalist. So i applied for anything in the companies i was interested and picked the highest paying one that had no or few red flags. So now im a full stack developer mostly focused on backend.

Story so far: Troll is trolling people making a person angry.

Person: You fucking asshole!
Troll: Nah, I'm a virgin.

I did some online shopping on the weekend. And oh man, this retailer’s checkout had so many problems.

I placed an order for a 2022 edition of their magazine. My confirmation page lists the 2020 edition. I didn’t get a confirmation email and I’m sure my email was right.

I chat with customer service and they said my order was for their car buying guide. You bet my my response was what the fuck.

Ok ok.. I used a German keyboard so Y and Z are switched. Ive never seen a picture of Jason Mraz but I really like his music so I wanted to YouTube him.. and my muscle memory did this.

Got bored and decided to try and compile X11 Quake (WinQuake) so far trying to troubleshoot some undefined references

So, any idea how many users on devRant after the spike and drop of yesteryears?

Why is it so fucking hard to switch jobs!!

For the first time I work for an old and absolutely massive company. I have never seen systems so byzantine and so outdated ever before. With how the project management on top of it all has been going so far I'm really impressed that anything gets done at all.

Yo guys you need this Chrome extension.
Litteraly so helpfull, shows code snippets in google Search
On Chrome WebStore (also on firefox)
- Greppper

Tests define behaviour, if code isn't tested then there is no way of knowing what it should be doing so it therefore cannot be working correctly.

Most had no idea what the web really was “under the hood” back then, so it was mostly indifference. But entry level salaries were awesome then, so also happiness and congrats from them for the folks I told how much I was making.

Hello world, im new here, so one question, who likes the apple developer documentation and do you have an alternative?

Skype gives me so much anxiety 😥
