I broke up with my Girlfriend at restaurant and She started crying, everyone thought i had proposed so they started Clapping. 😂🤣😎13

I bet every developer has a few "personal" projects you started once, but then abandoned because you started working on your next fun project.
So many unfinished things ;)11 -
I could be wrong, but I believe all devs love a clear section saying
"Getting Started" to any form of documentation5 -
So my wife started learning coding and web development. I am quite impressed how fast someone can learn it (she started from scratch, with No knowledge before)13

That feel when pants that were large before I started programming now can't even fit above my waist.
Since I started programming and using GNU/Linux I've gotten fatter.
Goddammit.5 -
3 people for developing the prototype including me.
One person knows unity. He started modeling the terrain in that.
Another person knows 3D modelling. He started designing the bots.
I don't know unity or C#. I started implementing the logic :/
It was the worst experience but learned shitloads from it in 2 days.3 -
People always asked me how I got started with Python, I always have to come up with a reason to hide the fact that I started using it because I like the name13

Started a new job.
Got called at 8.30 on Tuesday with the question:”Where the hell are you? You should be starting today!”. I replied:”I thought I started on Friday?!?”. We were both wrong, I should have started on Thursday 😑.4 -
Had a couple of beers with some non-terminal friends, started talking about devRant.conf.
Started explaining why some post was funny.
Don't make that mistake, friends.5 -
I'm in my second call from hell today. Passed off first to a teammate to run a meeting. First one started 10 hours ago, this started 5 hours ago. Neither are related. Neither show signs of resolving.
Other teammate is on the same call that started 2 days ago.
Who the hell pissed Murphy off?57 -
Only site which helped me alot to get me started in advance git commands was : ohshitgit.com
It also helped me when i started contributing in open source
Check it out :)3 -
Remember the discussion of banning terms like "blacklist" or "blackhat" because some people started to associate the color black with racism for some reason? Well, today my company started to ban those terms.
The loud minority wins again.9 -

May be i over reacted but i am not bringing it back.8 -
About starting your career at a medium-bigger company that's well-established, versus starting at a smaller company.
That's my point of view:
It's always wiser to begin at a company that's more established (you will also be sure that you will get paid on time). I started at a well-established company, and I managed to buy gear, travel, do stuff, and then I realised that I wanna do more, not only live to work 😎.
Smaller companies are kinda risky, think of it, their goal is to reach the level of a well-established company, which is some levels lower than that. On the other hand, if you do well at a smaller company, your next goal will be to work for a bigger company, which will surely be nicer, more professional and will pay better. So you will have managed to et there with all the skills in your pocket already, which will come in handy later!
Bigger companies are excellent if you have a family (wife and kids), they provide stability, that's the most important thing, but I believe that in order to get "settled" in a company like that, you should at least have tried something else first, like doing your own thing or get challenged in more complicated gigs that require you to up your skills.
In the end, it's all sun and fun, with you code editor by your side 😉. I'm interested to see your opinions.1 -
I was one of the 'popular' guys in school you know the cool ones and dumb as fuck. Now I am the nerd one lol. Seems like I found a passion.4

*It's too early*
Opened a rant and read it, then I started furiously started double tapping before I realized that that does not work there.
EDIT:
wait that works, I should really go back to bed.1 -
What's the funniest combination of commands/keywords/variables you've seen?
I'm a big fan of "man touch" 😂
Also, a colleague named an instance of System.Threading.SemaphoreSlim to Fatboy (Fatboy Slim, get it? 😏)
Let's hear it!
edit: tounge twisters are also welcome11 -

I’ve been out of steady work for almost 2 whole months now but things are starting to look up...
I’m super stoked for some potential client projects!!! I have one client that wants me to completely rebuild their businesses infrastructure, PC refresh, server upgrade, network overhaul for 3 sites, and more. This new client has a business partner with another side business and wants to discuss potential work/projects. And I’m going to be discussing a potential contract deal on Thursday to develop a custom software for another client.
Guys! My startup is starting woot!!!3 -
A friend of mine wants to start learn HTML/CSS/JS and ask me where to start.
Since I started to write them more than 10 years ago, I have no clue where to start, what good ressources are today and so on.
Therefore: what would you recommend, I recommend her?8 -
The ability to start my projects and finish them.
Like for real I have a bazillion ideas yet none was even started, and the few exceptions that were started are unfinished...1 -
When I first started coding, I always assumed my code was working without testing it. Now, I assume the output is wrong if get it right on the first try :/1

Started a new Factorio run.
Started implementing logic gates in it.
Started to think if I was half as OCD and productive in my code, I'd be an awesome developer.
Started to cry.
(for those of you who never heard of it, Factorio is the best building sim game ever)3 -
Best: Started working successfully, raised my self confidence, can finally see my future
Worst: Started feeling the effects of too much work on my mental and physical health (bad eyesight, back pain, weight...)2 -
So I started doing PHP, HTML and CSS a week ago. And I once started a codecademy course in JS.
I can consider myself a full stack web dev now? Right?
(Every "WordPress dev" ever (and me😀))2 -
Blockchain
So I started researching on Hyperledger and it's associated tools today. Looks really promising. There is so much to read and understand.
Have you started it yet?1 -
When I started ssh'ing into remote linux machines I would wonder why a lot of the programs I started wouldn't keep running after I logged out... :facepalm:6

I have a 24 hours hackathon tomorrow (25 hours actually because of the time change).
I want to learn and create an app and I opted for xamarin as a development platform. Problem was: I didn't have enough space in my windows partition (it's a ~40Gb partition in a 128Gb ssd) so, as I am not using Ubuntu that much I simply deleted its partitions from Windows and installed visual studio with xamarin. I played a bit with it, everything was working fine, I switched it off and I was feeling great for my wonderful problem solving abilities and I was ready to go to bed to have a nice 10 hours sleep before the big event. I was about to sleep when I realised it was my cousin's birthday and I hadn't said "happy birthday" so I switch my computer back on and there I realised how much I had fucked up.
The grub wasn't working anymore and I couldn't boot.
I've just spent the last 3 or 4 hours trying to figure out how to make my computer boot normally using my housemates' laptops to create bootable USBs for Windows and Ubuntu
Thanks to some random commands in the trial version of Ubuntu I managed to disinstall the grub and make windows start but thanks to my experimentations while trying to fix the problem I am now waiting for visual studio + xamarin (~35Gb) to download and install again.
Tomorrow's gonna be great7 -
i was learning neural networks, started with keras and was on the first tutorial where they started by importing pandas
so i switched to learning data analysis using pandas in Python where they started by importing matplotlib and i realized data visualization is also important and now I'm reading matplotlib docs...🙄11 -
At the beginning of the evening I started creating a snapshot of my webserver Ubuntu 16.04 installation, running 5 websites.
When the snapshot was created I started a release upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04.
Finally after upgrade and reboot... Nothing worked anymore. Nginx was running but none of the websites was working.
I started checking logs & searching for a solution, with no luck.
Wanted to restore my snapshot. Reading the docs of Scaleway: only a manual on how to restore to a *new* server...
Dumb me removing my current server and wanting to create a new server: "All servers tempotary out of stock"
Me: *panicing and clicking the resfresh button every second*
"Low stock"
*HITTING the create server button*
Added my snapshot
*Booting up*
Ssh'ing into server
Server: "nope"
#+#£_&-+{$}¥}•+';!
*Sees 'add snapshot to volume'*
*Sees 'add volume to server'*
*All websites running again after nginx restart*
What the fuck.
*End of evening* -
Been going at web dev for a while now, yesterday I started reading a javascript book and now I feel I know even lesser than I started with.1
-
As a fan of C#, I'll be entering the world of web development with ASP.NET, but there are so many things to learn before getting started! Javascript, bootstrap, css grid stuff, angular vs react things, docker, microservices, http and REST stuff, accessing some remote thing through ssh. I feel so intimated and don't know where to start!14
-
Finish at least one thing I started in 2021
* Learning Latin
* Learning Unity
* Learning Flutter
* Working on a personal app idea
God, why is it so hard to follow through with something I started? :/14 -
One month ago we got a college project to be done in a month
We started planning that we will complete it in the first week itself
We have still not started 😂😂1 -
When your job description says you are a mobile developer, but when you started working, you have started handling teams and doing web penetration testing. Then after 2 yrs of that still no salary raise. =.=3

"Just start ahead"
I am supposed to transform calls from one api to another one. Yet there's no documentation, ambiguous code statements, no examples of what values are contained -- but sure, let me just start assuming how the whole thing is supposed to work. That won't lead us more into a murky waters at all.
Even more frustrating: We own the api. We should be able to tell by the access logs how we are queried. Yet for some reason, access logs cannot be accessed and I shall "just work from the swagger defintion".
Well, that swagger definition is broken, its example are shit (somebody liked to use undefined in optional fields, making me wonder even more what the heck is going on here), and I have no idea of what I am doing. Fun times.3 -
Full time internship started, and I'm a week through. It's my first time in the industry and it's awesome!
Going a bit slow right now but I'm looking forwards to the future.
I didn't expect this, but the hardest thing so far has been getting used to the existing codebase.
Also, for anyone going into the industry, be humble about what you don't know. Ask lots of questions.2 -
I got my first proper start in programming through a side business operated by the same guy that was running a local makerspace. He had me learn basic git syntax and change some values in ionic.
From there I decided the best way to learn how to do this was write my own project in angular. From there I branched of with React and Vue.2 -
at the age of 12 I was bored so I started with html as I wanted to make a website, at the age of 14-15 is started with pure php, at 16 I started my first IT study for second line support and at 18-19 I finished my first IT study and started my second IT study for support mangement and when I'm done with it I'm planning on doing a third one for data center engineering.

I started studing C#(I already studied some languages some C or Python), I never used it because of .NET platform(I hate Microsoft), so in those days I started studing it with Mono.
C# is far better than Java.
So I started a simple project and pushed it on GitHub,
it is a simple logger.

The first code i ever wrote was a case statement in Visual Basic. I didnt really know what I was doing, just looking at the code that was already there and figuring out how to extend it to include more cases. I was about 17 at that point. I didnt properly start learning until I did Java in my first year of University.
-
My biggest dev regret is not starting earlier. I started learning how to code only 5 years ago, when I was 19. God, I wish I started earlier.

Back in '95 my grandfather started creating his online gallery and I've started to get interested in it, but quickly found the limitations on manual labour and started to look into more advanced solutions...
-
I started programming when I was 10. MS LOGO was being taught to us in school. I then started learning QBASIC when I was 12. When I was 15, I started coding in Java. Since then coding has become my source of bread and butter. I feel I need to learn lot of things to call myself a hardcore programmer.
-
Wow man, them shoulders look broad asf, started working out?
Nah, just started carrying my laptop to work.. -
I started learning to programming when my dad introduced me to it, I then just started teaching myself and learning via trial and error. Started in C#, went to web (learnt HTML, CSS, JS) then started on SASS and CoffeeScript, after that went to C and C++, then started looking at Angular, and now I'm on Ruby.
And every project from these languages has at least 10 errors -.-3 -
Started as an apprentice to copy and paste some content in. Dabbled with the HTML editor in the process, it started from there

I wanted to get started with ML. So what are the basics that I need to cover? (I have no idea where to get started.)10
-
I know Ruby but I never do Rails, and I want to get started. Should I start with Rails path straight away in The Odin Project? Or should I find other resources to get started instead?

Any of you started thinking about second income? I started learning business on my free time, like forex, government bonds and investment.
What you are ways for second income? Lately, I started thinking about being financially independent5 -
I've always been a fidgeter and I loved going to the tech museum in our city when I was a kid. As someone who also loved to build with Lego and create I eventually stumbled upon programming, where my dad recommended I'd start out with Scratch. It didn't really do it for me, so I put it down. Around the age of 12 I wanted to give programming another shot, but this time I started of with Python. It still followed a C-style syntax but wasn't as strict of a language, and that's how I got started!
Note: soon after I switched to C and C++ and they're now my main languages 😊 -
I started working out this year, to get some balance and i started taking care of plants, aspecially bonsais are awesome...
And drinking with my - now former - colleagues in pubs has proven to be awesome. -
I started learning at age of 16, when I went to technical school (aka college in UK). Mainly learnt web development but now I'm adding to the pallette of languages. I wish I started earlier though
-
I started with books as I only had dialup BBSes for additional resources when I started to learn. I really started to learn faster when I began building programs that related to something I was doing or needed rather then just the examples in books. Still works out better today if I apply a tutorial to something I work with or am interested in.

I started on my commodore 128D by typing over code from magazines. After that I started modifying them a little. Then I started making programs that drew little sketches on the screen using vb lineto commands. All this when I was 10years old.
