Programming in a tree. I usually climb up here and read, but I decided to code, and I didn't drop my laptop :D

I covered the screen with my hand because my code's ugly, and I don't want anyone to see it lol.

Why are the fastest laptops always considered "gaming" laptops and look like fucking alien spaceships? 😩

They're ugly as fuck

so, my college has a very ugly looking login page for the college wifi. and I was bored so i thought let's change it a bit with a little JavaScript and tamper monkey i made this.. now i just keep on looking at the login page

You think your job sucks?

Well, I spend more than six hours everyday testing a million dollar super ugly product on Internet Explorer on Windows.

And when I raise bugs, the devs just bash me up for fucking their code.

Who is the real culprit here, eh?

Now beat that bitch.

You ugly XD

Delete an entire working source code and start again from scratch a few hours before the deadline because I thought it was ugly.

"I'm not ugly. I just reduce my graphics to have better performance."

It might look ugly, but after 4 years, I can finally use linux on my chromebook without having to hack around the firmware and os.

"If it's not broken, don't fix it"

Follow that and you will be blessed with lots of ugly, duct-taped, hacky and unoptimized code -_-

When your code is ugly but it still works.

QA just asked me, why does the website look so ugly and no CSS is working on Internet Explorer
I'm lucky I'm not the web dev lol

*I laughed*
*IE laughed*
*Windows laughed*

1. You will write ugly code. Code that is in dire need of refactoring almost immediately.

2. You will write brilliant code. Functions and algorithms that will impress all that use them.

3. 1 & 2 are not mutually exclusive. Good software can be written poorly, beautifully written code can be useless. At the end of the day, just get the job done.

Manager: Why are you always refactoring?

Me: Refactoring keeps the codebase's entropy in check :)

Manager: mind blown!!

Truth be told

Yesterday I said: "My code was nice and well organized but then I started to do the things the customer wanted. Now it's horrible and ugly."

GUYS WE HAVE BEEN WRITING FOR LOOPS IN JAVA WRONG THE WHOLE TIME. Here is how it should be done correctly...
int i = 0;
for(;(i<10) ? true : false;)
{
i++;
System.out.println(i);
}

Jokes aside though does anyone have any more horrid ways to write this?

Today I checked out a Repo on Github to help a friend.

Holy shit is this code crap!

Basically one single method contains the whole logic.
637 LINES OF PURE AND UTTER DOGSHIT.
SIXHUNDREDTHIRTYSEVEN LINES!
ONE SINGLE UGLY METHOD.

If I have enough time and energy, I will probably create a PR in 2021.

Some people... wtf.

(not my friend's code, he just uses the program)

(Edit: I had to remove the rant and censor names in the image)

Ugly Truth😂⚡️

There is two types of people:
pretty(){

ugly()

The hardest part of exams: not being able to write legible '{}' symbols

Creating a personal website:
Step 1: Have 20mins of inspiration.
Step 2: Spend a day writing css and js
Step 3: Realize it sucks because (ugly || bad responsive design || not enough content)
Step 4 Experience no inspiration what so ever for next week
Step 5: Repeat

Ugly logo i made for my CI tool
lol

JSX is ugly

Sorry if there’s not enough context, I don’t know what to put there

The ugly face of cryptocurrency mining

I've never had a code review.
Eventhough I proposed to my boss that we at least review our intern's code once a week, he doesn't think it is needed.
Our intern writes ugly, shitty code...
it usually takes hours for me to fix his abominations... but yeah, what the boss says is always the best.

Being perfectionist

1. Fix a bug with ugly code.

2. Start from scratch.

There are two main versions of Python.

When you want to have it work with both of them, things can get really ugly. :(

What even is this?

They are very "proud" to launch this app..

I would love a small devRant sticker. So small that I can place him over the cam of my laptop.

Maturity is when you make your avatar look like you.

But even then my avatar looks far better than real me.

Thx @dfox for the new stickers! Finally I can hide the ugly Apple logo!

If your cables look like this you should probably rethink your life choices

You are like HTML without CSS. Damn ugly

Telling someone you don't like the way they format their code is like... Telling them their girlfriend is ugly.

Ugly websites are more popular.

I hope the next iPhone doesn't suck.

Personally, I think after 5s, the design took a turn to the awful side. The performance is still impeccable though. 6, 6s & 7 just look plain ugly. Atleast that's what I think.

As for iOS.. Only God knows what's going to happen..

Javascript is a horrible language.

I really try to like it but I can't. Even the wonderous node ecosystem can't redeem Javascript's flaws.

Seriously how the fuck could they invent such a bad language and make it so damn popular. Why couldn't they used an existing language's syntax to make life easier.

Once crafted a beautifully executed use of Polymorphism with intuitive interfaces and classes with a concise and loose code just to watch my boss get rid of the interface , because it had no code in it, and fill the fucking code with an ugly switch statement to choose which class to instantiate.

I'm working on my author website and I really suck at designing. So, can you give me your opinions? I can take honesty, even if it's harsh.
So, ugly or decent? What do you think?

Am a developer not a designer. My work is ugly but smart !! 😎

FUCK PHP!!!
We were trying to go live with a big online shop, it is connected through a crappy API to SAP.
PHP keeps outputting fucking errors because our intern doesn't fucking know how to properly write PHP.

YEAH, JUST FUCKING RETURN A WHOLE DIFFERENT TYPE OF DATA IF THE FUNCTION HAS AN ERROR.

Oh and using fucking strtr( ... ) to insert stuff in a string is REALLY FUCKING 1337...

And when you think the whole fuckery has reached the summit, just look at how HE FUCKING CREATED THE UGLY EMAIL TEMPLATE:
$content .= "UGLY HTML ABOMINATION";
$content .= "MORE UGLY HTML";
$content .= "HTML WITH SPELLING ERRORS";
$content .= "<table>";
$content .= "TEARS OF TIM BERNERS LEE";
$content .= "<table>HE FOGOT THE FUCKING '/'";

and dozens more of these lines...

and the whole piece for ALL 3 FUCKING LANGUAGES...

Thanks for writing the fucking backend stuff, it is better to rewrite the whole piece.

I always wanted to have comments in JSON files, but I just discovered a really good alternative:
{
"//": "This is a comment",
"somekey": "somevalue"
}

Looks kinda ugly but it works! No need for special unconventional parsers and shit.

I love my ugly little programmer board

It is so ugly :(

Is php beautiful, or ugly?

Here's my php. The beautiful, and the ugly.

*nervously presses submit*

The code im writing is so ugly that i am tempted to pay for github pro, just so i can hide it from society :D

I never thought that not coding for six months could do this much damage

The biggest annoyance in Java for me is the absence of "real" properties. Writing getters and setters everywhere is ugly, you are generating them anyways.

Putting 👏 _ 👏 in 👏 front 👏 of 👏 your 👏 properties 👏 doesn't 👏 make 👏 them 👏 private 👏

Finally made my laptop a dedicated linux machine, time to start working on a theme then to start on OS development until Gamemaker comes to linux! :-P

I just had to do this
EDIT: screw you devrant for compressing it. Now it looks ugly as hell ://

My boss codes shitty ugly fucking abominations.
These fucking piles of hacky crap are worth less than a penny puked out by a dog, eaten by another one and then shit out, grabbed by a vagrant, stuffed in his arse and then sold as raw metal by the cremation worker after the former's death.

Fuck this. I'm not gonna rewrite this. Fuck you.

I think I am the only person on the universe that doesn't like stickers on laptops.
1 or 2 could be fine, but more than that is just ugly for me.

The description of my company should be, "where 9 people can make a baby in 1 month, but it is going to be one ugly fuck"

My place of work just put on the World Cup live stream. I'm not even a huge fan but it looks nicer than my current code, so I'll live in denial for a bit

The new Android 8 Smileys are extremely ugly. The ones before weren't that great but not that bad...

Fuck you XCode! You good for nothing piece of shit.

OMG ever since I started to love Haskell, all nonfunctional languages look ugly, I am getting worse at writing procedural code!

Is it just me, or after using VS Code for a while, every other IDE does feel ugly???

me: boss, the new ssl certificate is ready and working fine in the website.

boss: cool, let me see it ... is wrong, this button must be wide and the color is ugly, do it again and tell me when is the button is fine

me: but, the ssl ...

I'd tend to say Matlab :
- you don't learn to write good code
- if you start by learning Matlab, you tend to be stuck in Matlab
- it's heavy and ugly and expensive
- arrays start at 1

If Java and Javascript are garbage collected, why do they still exist?

Pink is not always a good idea

For example, pink themed IDE, pink keyboards, pink lights...

:/

After 1h of work, research, one ugly hack and 2 unexplained laptop power outages i made it. I shrunk down my docker container from 800MB to astonishingly small... 500MB...

In my defense: the python libraries take up 300MB of space.

Over 7 years writing software, through good, bad and ugly.

I still wake up feeling like an impostor most of the days.

Impostor syndrome on fleek.

Yeah! Finally I don't have to see that ugly Dell logo! Thanks devRant!

PSA.

I have established "Depressed Lonely Maggot" Club. Our symbol will be an ugly crying maggot.

You are invited :3

I am a terrible designer. When i say terrible i mean my designs for website somehow always manage to look like an ugly piece of shit.

Halp?

You know when stuff like this happen:

Those jQuery fuckers spam their shit into every damn article or video. Why do you retards even use it in 2018? JavaScript has evolved and can do all the useless shit jQuery does in an equal style.
I hate to see modern front-end tutorials using this useless ugly tool.

Ffs Google that new UI is ugly af...
Stop making everything white it makes people blind!

WTF is wrong with Google, their new UI changes for Android are ugly af!

So I'm a perfectionist, especially when with code, smells, solid, design patterns, naming conventions, etc and I be have this co-worker that blackmails me every time he doesn't want to do something saying "I don't know it so my code is gonna be ugly".

When you have billions of dollars, but 0 good designers...

I made an ugly website...

That's all

I was once requested to update a website and the requirements were that it "must be flash based...and use our company's color scheme."

I saw the current site and critiqued the color before knowing that the color was the company's signature and had to be there. The colors were a pukish yellow like someone pissed all over the site and that color was everywhere. I said that site looked like something from 1998 and flash was not the way to go.

They wouldn't hear any of that. No need to mention I didn't take that job.

Oh look a new chrome update!

*Installs update*

I regret everything!!!!

Come on Google I love material design but fuck me is the new update ugly... Besides the new tab page.

At first, there are some ugly dust particles on my screen.
Second, that battery life would be nice..

Am I the only backend developer around here who doesn't enjoy building UIs and tries to get it done ASAP just to go back to backend code?

my App's UI looks ugly as shit because of this.

The boss made us to set a shitty background (pattern) to the website we are working on right now but it looks ugly as hell. I tried to change his mind several times but no, he fucking loves that background.

WTF is wrong with the first three!?? 😁

Regarding my last rant:
I have all my 3 Raspberrys set up for seti@home now, reporting to twitter and my own "surveillance" system for them.
The system is still ugly, the code is ugly but that's getting improved next!

One thing you learn after a few years in IT and some languages is that there is no problem with most languages.

BUT

Ugly code is ugly code! Has half of the devs I have been working with never heard of a style guide? Is it so long of a read that they just skip it.

I have flashback of variables being called "a", "b", "c" and/or methods being called "method_alfa" in production code.

In my opinion, repeatedly sh*ting all over a style guide is a reason for getting fired.

Went for a job interview today, and learned something very important about myself...

...that I should be permanently banned from writing code on whiteboards, for any reason. I have never seen such ugly code in my entire life. Ugh...

This is how Pokémon Go shows errors to its users. It says a generic „Error“ in German with different numbers for different errors.
I am not an UX expert, but isn’t this a really bad practice? The error number has no meaning to the user, so why displaying it? I think it is just confusing and looks ugly 😐

I do not understand why everyone is so fanatic about stickers. Went to a conference one day and about 90% of all laptops had stickers and ich only wanted to free every of this small beautiful creatures from this ugly pieces of shit.

Ugly but inspired me

When I see a space after opening bracket but none prior to the closing one... *fugly*

FML.

Knockout JS.
I am not sure if the library itself is so bad or the code which I was working on was ugly. But since then I avoid anything that is related to knockout js.

"Hey I wanted to show you a first version. We got the code working, all the data is coming in and being sorted properly!"

Boss: "it's ugly though, I can't show anyone that".

"....but it works!"

Me: *Joins the dark side*

Me: Arrrrrrgh! So ugly!

Later...

Me: *Joins the dark side again and uses devRant for 5'*

Me: Mmm... that's actually better, no way I'm going back

Is it only me or does Unity really force people to write ugly code?
Sometimes I think to my self : " just go and write your god damn own fuckin engine"

But then I sit back and realize that I'd never finish a game that way.

Love & Hate Unity !

"Ohhhh, I would love to try Android, but it is sooooo ugly..."
How to deal with an apple fanboy saying something like this every time I mention that apple could done better(their software or hardware)
???

There are many operating systems out there but android is like windows for phones and it's getting ugly very fast.

I'm a python fanboy, not gonna lie.
I love everything about it. It's clean syntax, ready to use out of the box-ness, convenient built-in functions.

The one thing I hate is the official documentation. It's ugly, hard to navigate and a cluster fuck.

But it has proper information, so it's fine I guess. tsch

OMFG... Should I continue reading this book on C++....

Fuck you and your ugly, undocumented, fuzzy API.

If I had to audit my current code I'd definitly stick a cactus up my arse shouting in the mirror:

ALL YOUR CODE IS GOOD FOR IS ULTIMATE DELETION. YOU FILTHY MAGGOT! LEARN TO CODE... *rage quit*

Really, coding shit because of spare time simply makes me ripping my face of 💀

My coffee cup! Came home one Christmas and mom had been cleaning up a storage room. I've given it too her when I was young, but she never used it because it was ugly and heavy. She wanted to throw it away, but I took it, and it has been on my desk from the first day I started my job.

Typical code life?

1. Write rough comments
2. Write more detailed comments
3. Write pseudo code
4. Write semi-working but definitely ugly code
5. Write working but very ugly code
6. Refactor the code to be nicer, check for patterns, bottlenecks and other bits and pieces
7. Push to git the "final" code
8. After few months blame whoever wrote the code
9. Refactor all the things!

This happened in my career more than once and still - it seems like the best option out there to get things done. What do you guys think? Should something be added/removed from this? Is this over-complicated or what?

*client comes to us "please take care of our app, it's ugly and the previous devs made it all buggy, especially the Android version"
*we write code, analyze bugs, fix them, QA them
*we deliver a preview
*client only looks at the iOS app, doesn't give a flying fuck to the Android app

Thanks Google Analytics for adding a super long and ugly query string when switching to a different domain within the same project. That's not breaking the logic of this legacy site at all. Effing hell Google, I expected you to have better devs than this.

I am now using my DevRant avatar for all my online profiles. No more ugly professional/fun pictures of me around the internet.

CSS gradients are so ugly 🤮
I makes the website look like from 2003...

Do other Web Designers have similar problems? Help...

Having to write Swift and Kotlin for a while at work and now switching back to working on web technologies (for a different job), I would say JavaScript is ugly.

I think javascript is a great language, but it has some really ugly parts.

For some reason, it really annoys me that JS developers are ok with things like

if (typeof something === "undefined")

I mean, comparing strings like that!

"Why are you working on uglified code?"

"You know, I'm trying my best"

This UI should be illegal.

In love with Laravel events, listeners and mailables. What a beautiful way of doing this. Can't say how much I love this framework. <3

Can't wait to implement redis and queues. Am excited to try this for the first time. Share exp. if you have, pls.

Recently started using js without semicolons...

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

Tl;Dr: I think react is ugly.

Just cloned a developer git for a certain API and I was going through the application code to get a feel around. I literally said out loud "eww" when I saw the code for the views. Nothing about the pros and cons of the framework, I just think it's hideous. Thoughts from react developers welcome

Recently I've started thinking about how we are always told "No you can't do that" to everything. That feels like a theme in our industry.

I've also been thinking about how often people say well done to each other, or just comment that something is good in a pull request. Everything is always focused on bugs and mistakes - not good bits.

The first point conflicts with the idea that when using languages and frameworks you should follow their philosophy or you're gonna have a bad time - but in all other instances you mostly don't have wrong answers, just answers that can be better so a lot of stuff is opinion based.

I've decided to change my ways and focus just as much on good stuff as bad when I review code and to make sure I'm focusing just as much, if not more, when people do something good.

I think I do a good job, but I don't think I've been told I'm doing a good job or that anything specific is good more than a couple times in the last year - mostly in mandatory reviews. What about you?

well well well, at least you have the balls to agree

PHPStorm is soo good! I like the integrated VCS, DB and Terminal (except the ugly cursor block). Also I like the powerful code autocompletion + material theme

But I will not ditch VS Code :)

Google's new Material design, with more curvy elements with broad borders, woth cocky font ...... is UGLY as FUCK

12 year kid at work

Apparently piwik changed their name to matomo and looks now as ugly as it sounds

I am pretty much a designer.
I hope I didn't give others bad experiences~

Oh well I always loudly rant and get insulting when I see comic sans (in wrong usage) or ugly websites (not old or weird but old looking AND overdesigned 😓).
Probably that's what's most annoying when you're talking about me as a designer.

Just leaving this ugly piece of crap here.
I know these kinds of stuff are not welcome here, sorry anyways. But am I sorry if it's insulting? Of course not. Those who really feel the insult in this shit are listed below.

Challenge: in 5 lines of code or less, write the ugliest, compilable code you can, in a common language (no brainfuck please)

I think I'm a good developer. I have pretty decent debugging skills, including pulling apart disassembled x86 and other architecture code.

I'm fascinated by how things work.

But almost everything is catered for by a library. Or has already been done.

I find it enjoyable to create a library or program myself, but get disheartened when I find some library or program that is written seemingly very well, compared to my own code. And then I start to think I'm not a good developer after all.

Sort of relates to my previous rant about repeatedly rewriting code.

Applies to me doing programming as a hobby but probably affects my code at work as well... I just can't help but think my code is probably awful compared to what someone else might write.

...then I see incredibly ugly, messy, badly written code by other people and I feel better...

I suppose it is like an artist who sees amazing works but cannot paint to that standard, but is well beyond drawing stick figures with crayons.

Sounds like a trivial problem but it probably impedes my progress with a lot of things.

I really fucking hate adding Exceptions into code. It's so fucking ugly and I feel miserable sometimes by using because I have to. I'm weird.

Refactoring a method of a 5 year old system. Probably one of the ugliest code I have ever seen. This is just a little piece of the ugliness

I swear to fucking god the itch.io desktop app is one of the worst design and programming piles of shit out there...

Deisgn is inconsistent and ugly, stability is up shit creek and simple performance is just shit even for an electron app.

If anyone has to do anything with downloading stuff from itch, just do it manually and ignore the app all together

My beautiful code now transforming into ugly messy code. Damn you deadline 😠

The upvote button is ugly.

Scala's default Seq is MUTABLE. Why the fuck do I want mutability in my functional scala code!?

Now I have to riddle my code with imports to scala.collection.immutable.Seq which looks just ugly.

Gosh dangit.

My first dev project outside of school work was an android application I made for my then-girlfriend to track time between contractions and count kicks during her pregnancy. It was horrifically ugly but it was my first android app and it worked!

Why does my brain just struggle so much with Rust.

So much of the design fundamentals I've learnt over the last 10 years from doing OO in memory managed languages don't carry over very well into Rust, and my brain is sucking at coming up with alternatives, or finds the alternatives I do make ugly.

Frustration is real.

Just met with country brand manager of famous MNC automobile brand. They have their brand website for our country. He doesn't know any information and doesn't have any information regarding the website nor domain. He has been there for 2 years already and the website was made when the brand came to our country. So now he is stuck with that stupid ugly and most of all out-dated website.

So my point is, why the fuck did business people think domain and server information are less important and doesn't need to keep it documented and confidential?

Ok forget about server. They have to at least be very very careful with the domain name which they use it everywhere everyday.

What if it was some sick bastard like me who bought that domain and made that website? I could drop their butt ugly pages and put some animals seriously making love video up there.

Fucking MikTex.

Apparently this software got stuck somewhere back in the nineties. Got a fresh installation to make sure issues were not arising from outdated hardware - still connection errors, API errors, horrible, unresponsive and ugly UI, what a broken piece of ****.

Today I made some lights turn on and off with Gpio on my Rpi and some php, really happy and I'm going to work on it cause the landing site is really ugly. Would it be appropriate to add "mechanical engineer" and additional to web developer to my resume now? 😂😂

😂 PHPStorm's integrated terminal sucks! Doesn't play well with other oh-my-zsh themes so I just use the default theme.

Plus the ugly block cursor in the integrated terminal which cannot be edited. LOL! 😂

I'm incredibly ticked off by decision of using backticks ´ to define template strings on es6...

template strings are nice , but backticks are irritating ugly and unreadable

That moment you realize that recursion is more natural than ugly iteration with state

Have I told you that I love Sass? Yes? Well, that's fucking true! Like today I decided to host the used font myself and just include all font-awesome SCSS into my main.sass and saved one <link>. That boosted loading time and user don't have to see those ugly squares while page is loading. I'm truly in love.

"When an engineer builds a building, it's very well built, but it's so ugly that the people tear it down. When an architect builds a building, it's very beautiful, but it falls down" - difference between systems engineer and systems architect

Working for one of our oldest customer, in some serious old, ugly and outdated code(web service).
The dev db doesn't contain any relevant data.
The QA service points to production, so can't use it for any tests.
My contact, at the customer, is going on vacation tomorrow.
Their pm is going on vacation next Friday.
No time for refactoring, db data updates or otherwise do important and much needed updates.
They want it to be done yesterday.

Why is Xcode so ugly! Need a dark mode

When refactoring legacy code and your colleague committed this a week ago... As punishment we made him listen to "You're too fat to fly" all day long.

"tmux" is such an ugly name for this wonderful piece of software.

Literally came across the third line of code and made this meme.

To top it off, the if statement looked like this:
if ([that ugly code])

This is coding at its finest....

My god, I just had to use a very ugly hack involving HTML generation via string concatenation, passing a function as a parameter and closures.

Now I appreciate languages that achieve such things naturally even more.

I am working on a small project to help out a small theatre group. The guy who created their website decided to create it with horrible UI and UX. I plan to confront him with notes on how to improve the overall experience of navigating their website and if all goes to plan, I will help rewrite the entire website.

The good: dotnet core RTM
The bad: my previous shitty work place, their shitty product, the very shitty TL that had no fucking idea how to lead or manage the team
The ugly: the shit storm I dropped on TL, group leader, CEO/CTO when I left...

At the company I work they just updated confluence to a version with new UI. The new blue tone for the navbar is just FUCKING UGLY!
Don‘t seem to be able to change the theme of it anymore either...
Soooo I made a firefox plugin to fix it xD
Cuz why not.
And I learn‘t how to create firefox addons^^

I learned C with a K&R copy a friend gave me years ago. Now at University we in CompSci get taught in Python the first year and Java next while the engineers start with C and (I'm guessing) move on to assembly later on.

This friend comes to me all worried because he has to submit the next day a working Reversi game for the console written in C. Turns out the game was divided among two labs and he failed to submit the first one.

The guy is smart but once a week or so, when we met to smoke a joint and relax with some other friends, he was always talking about how he would prefer something like law but that would be bad business back in Egypt.

Back to the game, I get completely into it. First hour checking all the instructions he was given, then reviewing the code he wrote and copied from Internet. We decide start from scratch since he doesn't really get what the code he copied do. It took us 10 hours only stopping to eat but we get all the specifications of both labs perfectly.

A week after that he comes to me: "my TA said your code is the ugliest shit he's ever seen but he gave me a perfect score because it passed all the tests". I'm getting better (the courses I'm taking help me a lot) but what really made me happy is that he solved the next lab by himself (Reversi wasn't the first time I helped him, only the first time he was absolutely lost). Now he actually gets excited about coding and even felt confident for his programming final.

No more talking about being a lawyer after those 10 hours, totally worth it.

How do you learn to design the UI for mobile app? I don't have problem with business logics but my app is hella ugly 😂

I never thought I'd reach a point where I use High Contrast theme for development O_O
Was always a user of dark theme, but now VS Code is on High Contrast and it is comfortable af but ugly af also :\

The feeling after you refactor 4000+ lines of ugly legacy code into 2000 lines of code placed in a framework ...these 4000 lines also all one document

I think that the idea of IIFE in JavaScript is a good example of how shitcoding can be built into the core of the language.
How can I make my code clean if the language itself forces me to make such an ugly constructions?
What do you guys think about it?

Background: I'm doing a migration from FileMaker to JavaFX

My PM asked me what was going to be the main page of the system and he gave me an ugly option, to which I answered with a dashboard example, so now he wants me to change everything so that our app looks like the one I showed him

SOOO last monday I got a new MS Office and Outlook in my office. It's ugly as fuck and not as functionable as the old one we got here, and I cannot install Thunderbird or so...

I'm contributing to a project that allows you to control your Linux desktop from your phone. I managed to implement controlling your PCs volume form the phone. At first the code was ugly as hell, include a fucking long bash statement, but I even managed to turn it into a nice solution.

A few weeks later I was invited to meet the core developers.

My parents gave me a old laptop and I would play games like Adibou (Good times)

And my first exposure to Linux (or GNU/Linux, call it how you want), was my father’s ubuntu server (with gui) and I found it ugly
