I love how "shotgun debugging" works.

Let's say the microwave doesn't work. I put my burrito in it, press buttons. Nothing happens.

Any sane person would trace the possible cause: Check if it is plugged in, maybe the fuse is blown? Nah, we don't have time for this: Let's try shotgunning it!

- Turn the burrito upside down.
- Try aligning the burrito in different cardinal directions.
- Press random buttons
- Remove burrito wrapper
- Separate burrito into single components, sort them onto a plate in a nifty layout and try microwaving that.
- Remove each component of the sorted burrito plate and try microwaving the plate with less and less items.
- Try microwaving each separate item and then later reassembling them back into burrito to see if it gets heated after the act.
- Try putting a cat on top of the microwave.
- Pour water on cat
- Notice a strong reaction involving water and the cat.
- Try catching the cat for additional testing.
- Go to the hospital to get stitches on your open wounds.

Later write a bug report to the maintainer: "Microwave doesn't work. Tracked the issue down to the moisture level of the cat, additional testing needed."

When you try and edit a CSS file you did 3years ago.

All of my friends are designers. None of them can code. And when I try to design...

When the person sitting next to you in the plane starts coding and you try to see what they're working on.

You write code.
A strange issue prevents you to proceed further.
Try one fix. Fails.

Try fix #28. Fails.
You decide to ask for help in the support forum.
You start writing your post, mentioning everything you've tried so far. You feel your social anxiety and fear the humiliation of being told "because you didn't try X, you idiot". Then you come up with an idea for fix #29.
(fix #29 normally involves Wireshark or similar low-level inspection tool)

Try fix #29. It succeeds :)

Windows is probably good now...

Try to figure out what's “on” and what's “off”

You know that you are a Programmer when you do code mentally and when testing it it works at first try

When you go to write an email and try to end a sentence with a ;

User:
"Your application does not show notifies"

Test the app, search trough the logs, try and try again. Nothing.

Me:
"Did you disabled the notifies in Windows"

User:
"Yes! Uopps...."

Is it normal that devRant crashes at first start and works at the second try? Does somebody else has got this problem?

Maybe try switch off and switching on your computer?

Best debugging strategy: try to show off what you made to friends and family

New rule: if you come to me for tech help and didn't try turning it off and on, don't even bother.

Ask someone.

It'll be "really obvious" or the problem will disappear when you try and show them.

Wow!
Makefiles are SO much cooler than I thought before

$< = the first dependency file
$^ = all the dependency files
$@ = the build target

AND if I try to build something who's dependencies don't exist, it'll automatically try to build them!

The feeling when you receive a screenshot of a window, and try to close the screenshot with the window close button.

I try and try and try to teach my coworker critical thinking skills, proper programming techniques, and standard git etiquette. Then I add 4 booleans to solve one problem, use strings instead of ints to find unique SQL Server entities, and push right to the development branch.

TFW your graphics ASM code works on the first try.

Yes, it just happened to me, and it's a relatively annoying rectangle drawing routine.

Writing complicated ASM code and making it work on the first try is definitely a new thing to me, I feel so powerful! >:D

Programming should be like art, where you try and learn different skills and tools to get better over time.... Not a continuous game of whack-a-mole where your try to hit everything with a hammer...

When looking something up, I generally try to avoid StackOverflow answers and find actual documentation, since SO answers are usually outdated.

Mac: If you try to shoot yourself in the foot, you find out the OS has removed the firing pin from the gun.

Windows: If you try to shoot yourself in the foot, the OS will wrestle you to the ground. You may shoot yourself in the foot, you may shoot yourself in the gut, you may not shoot yourself at all, but they do try.

Linux: If you try and shoot your self in the foot, the OS would like to politely remind you we have *much* bigger guns available - try one if these!

Try and Google for 'Apple iBag'. No, really, I wish I was kidding...

This is what you get when you have dual booted and try to update windows 8.1 to windows 10.

I really really really don't like Windows. The amount of awful updates that I have to do all of the time, the fact that my mother just had Windows updates try and run, fail, try and run again, fail again, and then try a third time. But I'm stuck with it, because if I try and run a Linux live CD, my computer has a fit. Because Ryzen. Fantastic

So I was just watching a show with subs and see this line:

Cool to see how we as developers try to create nice things to make the world a bit better while there are others on the other side trying to make enough money for themselves and will let the world burn if needed and try to destroy things.

Agency hires me to convert a 4 column + sidebar + pattern backgrounds email to responsive, for a big client, I make a redesign, simplifying it (less columns, flat...) to avoid issues, client insists, exactly the same design is needed.

I tell him its almost impossible but I will try, and try, and try, many times, but on their old Outlook, some email parts are not aligned (just that), try, and try, many hours, many days beyond budget... all the times since first explaining that perfection is not possible with all possible email clients, and like 7% is using outlook... At that point, and before, email was so well.

Finally I put an end to this, tell them to pay and leave me alone, as they didn't take my advises and warnings serious, not my fault.

This story is nothing until the discovery I made today: the agency had signed a contract with the client, a bank, in that contract there was the obligation to replicate exactly the same design and should be perfect in all email clients...

Life will be much easier if we can use "try and catch" while doing something. Yes, just like programming language.

Never let your self down, try to be your own const in life that know his scope and traits well enough to construct a peacefull life without any uncatched exceptions. Also try to return something to the public, keeping your magic pointers to your private makes it hard to review your glorious source of thoughts. And if it is getting hard try to REST a bit and git some timeout.

The moment when you try Android development for the first time, you get a bluescreen out of nowhere and after that there are problems with the jdk in your project... I do not get it. Please windows... I just wanted to try something new...😰

It does not feel motivating at all... :/

I guess no one except designers know the pain of dealing with clients.
I am a dev and a freelance designer and sometimes my patience drops to zero and walks out from my desk and try to sleep, just to not break stuffs out of anger. You guys think dealing with a designer is an issue? Try dealing with a dumbfuk client!

That euphoric moment when your program works on the first try and you just feel like the god of all programming.

Same twat manager from my last rant... He'd call my mobile after hours because we were friends once, and progressively get drunk throughout the call and try to come up with ways to usurp the director, who is actually a decent guy.

I then try to set requirements and set the tools/frameworks I want to use.
Next step would be data model and then git started ;)

So I feel like looking up solutions for my code is cheating, so I try to do it on my own for hours. Nothing I try works and the solution is usually something really simple and I feel like I'm never going to understand..

Don't even say your initial time estimate/guess out loud. It will probably become your deadline, and you probably assumed that most things would take a reasonable amout of time.

Bonus: Try to get onto projects that you think you can get interested in. Once on a project try to keep interested in it's success.

Back when I was a total noob at programming probably 6-7year back. I once fucking try to memorize even-odd number program for the practical test because I was unable to understand anything related programming.

Why would you even try it? Have some respect for yourself.

"Programming is a craft. At its simplest, it comes down to getting a
computer to do what you want it to do (or what your user wants it to do). As a programmer, you are part listener, part advisor, part interpreter, and part dictator. You try to capture elusive requirements and find a way of expressing them so that a mere machine can do them justice. You try to document your work so that others can understand it, and you try to
engineer your work so that others can build on it. What's more, you try to do all this against the relentless ticking of the project clock. You work small miracles every day.

It's a difficult job. "

Me: it is not working, i get this error.
Him: try change these xxx in xcode.
Me: ok, wait.

Me: now I get this error
Him: hmm... Try 'react-native link xxxx'
Me: ok

Me: I get same error like first error.
Him: now try 'react-native unlink xxxx'
Me: hmm... Wait.

Me: I still get same error, what's wrong?
Him: I don't know, it's working in my mechine .

Me: I still get same error like 1st error hahaha.

Me: OKkK
.

Me: still get same error
Him: try git reset and build again
Me: hmm
.

*after git reset and build again

1. Clone
2. Do something in xcode
3. React native link
4. React native unlink
5. Git reset - - hard
6. Build
