My 6 year old has been learning about trees at school, and had questions for me. Needless to say, she now has the best understanding of data structures in her class, and I expect parents evening will be "interesting"

You see a web, I see:

CLIENT: TCP SYN
SERVER: TCP SYN ACK
CLIENT: HTTP Get
SERVER: HTTP Response

CLIENT: TCP FIN
SERVER: TCP FIN ACK

All I’m saying is that this spider has a clear understanding of Transfer Control Protocol.

Finally a guide for understanding if you should use WordPress for your website

I don't judge other developers for not knowing or understanding a particular concept, I judge them for pretending like they do...

This week was my Boss's wedding,
So had most of the week off.

Took the free time to solidify my understanding of Docker.

Last night, I was finally able to Dockerize our whole architecture.
Deployed it today morning. Running without hiccups till now :')

Feeling amazing.

When someone explains to me that they really care about their privacy and use WhatsApp or signal or other encrypted messaging services and then you see then typing stuff through the GOOGLE KEYBOARD.

Yeah i think they're not understanding something 😆

A university that teaches students
C++ without teaching an understanding of memory management is pointerless.

"But I don't know where to start..."

"... just start typing, be willing to mess up, and if you get lost just start over with better understanding from messing up. Eventually it'll work."

The most valuable skill I get from my computer science study is understanding the jokes on devrant :)

We've all been there

Normal user understanding of cloud storage😂😂

My boss said something genius today: "understanding client's wishes is like writing a regexp for everything they say"😂

"Mark Zuckerberg understanding on AI is limited" @elonmusk

Understanding my colleague's spaghetti code is like smelling the color of number B.

Don't BS your managers or peers about your understanding of a topic.

It is okay to not know something. It is not okay to pretend that you do.

F in Internet explorer stands for fast!!
U in client stands for understanding!!
C in iPhone stands for customizable!!
N in US stands for net neutrality!!

B in devRant stands for boring!!

Reading regex is way easier than understanding the mind of my non IT boss

Understanding recursion requires understanding recursion first.

From Mr Robot
“Most coders think debugging hardware is about fixing a mistake.
But that's bullshit.
Debugging’s actually all about finding the bug.
About understanding why the bug was there to begin with.
About knowing that it’s existence was no accident.”
— ELLIOT

How come that asking politely on StackOverflow brings you hatred and contempt while hating on DevRant brings you empathy, understanding, consolation, encouragement and a friendly slap on the back?

Playing Warcraft and similar games prepared me for understanding Classes and Instances in Object Orientation later.

1.) Complete knowledge and understanding of C++.

2.) Fast and accurate typing skills.

3.) Ability to sleep peacefully all night.

People gotta start understanding this!

Mgr: Do a talk about that library you're using.

Me: Sure but I'm just learning about it now maybe when I have a better understanding of it.

One week later.

Mgr: I booked a department wide mandatory lunch and learn this Friday for your presentation.

Avast understands that i don't want to restart ;)
(The last options is next century)

"Debugging's actaully all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with, about knowing that it's existence was no accident.It came to you to deliver a message."

Thank you to all the mentors out there! My mentor has the patience of a saint and really helps me understanding everything much better.
You guys help more than you realize!

As a high-school student who has learned to program, i can't understand why programming isn't standard curriculim. It makes it so much more fun to learn math and physics. I also think even basic understanding of it improves how we use technology

Remember to teach your youth to program!

FUCK WEB DEVELOPMENT.

Seriously, what the hell. Things evolve so goddamn fast and someone new to the field can’t even grab something to start with. Once you start understanding something it fuckin changes and something else takes it’s place.

Fuck this shit, I’m out.

Well, it is my turn to rant about the retards on Stack Overflow who are voting down questions only because they are not capable of understanding it.

Sometimes I go ridiculously hardball on my comments in order to gain a better understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish

i'm seriously over mobile devs not understanding what backend architecture looks like.

the "we don't need a backend, we just need an API." statement drives me up the fucking walls. stop it, you should know better.

sincerely -
your friendly neighborhood web developer.

Understanding each and every joke on devRant

StackOverfllow -> Copy Code -> Doesn't work -> Study its working -> Read related info on other websites -> Code starts to make sense -> Do the required changes in code as per the understanding -> Got it working.
I only learn if the initial 2 steps fail. Else I skip the latter.

The 'Essence of Essential Algebra' is an amazing YouTube playlist by 3Blue1Brown to watch if you want to start understanding the algebraic concepts underlying Machine Learning!

🙄 Windows asked me to install the update thrice. I asked it to remind me later. The fourth time it just shut my system down and started updating..

This is what you call a constructive and understanding OS-User relationship 🌝

Confession: I sometimes drop in lines like "not everything should be public, some things should be private" and "good understanding of the relationship is vital" etc. when arguing with the girlfriend. If she ever finds out what I'm doing I'm in serious trouble...

The use of git and understanding/working with foreign keys and performing (including the understanding) JOIN queries.

Also, it took me years and to understand OOP.

When think back to my code from before that, my brain spontaneously starts bleeding.

Learning 10 languages
Practicing 6
Understanding 2

Instant understanding and memorizing of everything i read.

I am like the weakest programmer at my job. I wanna improve and get better. Understanding how to write good unit test to reading code. Damn it. I just wanna be better.

Understanding JS Promises be like

Client: I can't login with my lastpass
Me: Oh, why not, how are you trying?
Client: So, I've entered my lastpass password into my bank account, and it says 'wrong login credentials'
Me: °-°

I have changed
I cannot study anymore
I don't like doing it
There's no fun in it
I cannot run after marks like everyone do
I cannot mindlessly memorise things without understanding
Anyways bye

That satisfaction when @dfox upvotes one of your rants.

This is perfect for new programmers!

Self rant!

Looked at a code snippet I wrote last year and I thought to myself: am I geting stupid for not understanding my own code ?

Tried to re build it from scratch...

Failed and had to reuse it without understanding how it's working.

I guess I am getting stupid!

AHHHHHHHHHH THEY CAME. Thank you guys for simply understanding what im talking about.

When you push and PM (whose understanding of git stretches to git.length == 3) pushes 20 minutes later overwriting all of your changes and refuses to acknowledge their mistake (s).

"Installing... We'll be done in just a moment."

Well, Microsoft, it seems that you and I have a very different understanding of the word "moment".

When you no longer understanding your code, the feeling 😂

Understand my own code after two weeks
This is very useful 😂

The thing is that I have told my family a few times what I really do at work. But I have to be honest: explaining what a backend dev does is hard without showing a GUI 😂

Sometimes I even think for myself: wtf am I doing here... 😁

From a gitlab blog post:

"You wouldn't copy and paste an answer from StackOverflow, without understanding it, (...)"

No.. never....... 🙄

u know what is more irritating than listening to a thick indian accent almost not understanding a shit he's saying while coding?

listening to a thick indian accent almost not understanding a shit he's saying while he's playing a 70s porno music in the background and explaining how to code something.

m

actually that music calms me down somehow from being too much frustrated, its like he knew "i know im irritating so heres a bad music to calm u down"

I wish I was a developer so I could relate a little more to these posts, but my basic understanding makes it enjoying to read!

I'm turning 28 this year and I still feel I got a really really long way ahead in understanding Javascript and all the new web app building technologies happening.

Feeling a little frustrated for not learning faster and getting kind a stuck, I'm not getting any younger.

I have to admit, making JSON API's is a great way to learn a language/framework. You have to deal with so many things that challenge your understanding.

Porting Java Code to Kotlin manually, just to get a better understanding of the language. Best thing so far, NO more Assertive Exception Handling.

Damnit Java, I know it for a fact that the damned thing won't throw an exception! There's Careful and Paranoid. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Fuck... coming from a Python background learning low level stuff is hard as shit.. gonna need to learn C/C++ and some Assembly real soon!

Gotta say though, understanding that stuff makes everything have more sense all of a sudden hahah

"Understanding Js"

Instead of investing in a rubber ducky for explaining my coding bugs I decided to have Alan Turing be my listener. At least he'll be more understanding than a pretentious biased rubber duck!

Pet-peeve: fellow devs who think scoffing/dismissing/not-my-probleming before actually understanding the issue is a sign of intelligence; newsflash: you are being lazy, disagreeable and unprofessional.

I'm gonna fail my now-online uni course. I'm not understanding jackshit.

Fuck this covid bullshit.

Can anybody help me in understanding this assembly code of 8051?

Tried to simulate spreading of viruses in quarantined vs non-quarantined environment.

Non-quarantined people are not understanding the concept of boundaries.

Y'all ever learn something and just kinda smile about it?

I finally got a decent understanding of lower level concurrency control like mutexes and sephamores (I knew about atomicity before but never knew how it was implemented) and I just got this huge grin across my face.

Fucking non technical managers and their shitty clients to whom they suck their tiny weiners need to realise that I cannot reorder elements every 10 minutes to the shape of their fart comming out of their ass, test it, deploy it, trigger webhook, clear cloudflare cache, and meanwhile be sure that it's written in quality manner for future upkeep with commits that have sense.Hope deadline driven development dies in hell where it belongs

I regret learning so much.

We literally have Ph.D's here who dont know how to use a Linux CLI... I'm baffled as to how you get into the security industry without understanding actual security. The only thing your Ph.D. counts for is understanding the rules that allow you to ball-bust people into paying your salary.

Do you think Project Managers should know what source control is and have a basic understanding of its concepts?

Sql server: select top 10 * from foo.. 😁
PostgreSQL: select * from foo limit 10.. 😁

Oracle: select * from foo FETCH NEXT/FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY. 🌚

Oracle, are you trying to be more expressive/verbose because if that's the case then your understanding of verbosity is fucked up just like your understanding of clean-coding, user experience, open source, productivity...
Etc.

If there is 2 books you should read before trying to tackle TAOCP... this might be on it.. as well as the Concrete Mathematics book.

Anyway. This book covers not just the fundamentals of modern algorithms and data structures but it also makes the leap to understanding multithreading and algorithms using multithreading.

Some argue the certain concepts in this book are presented without explanation of how they work, but I guess that should be something the reader try’s to figure out from another book or constructive thinking critically. Keeps the reader on their toes for understanding.

This is also the reason many people suggest the sedgewick algorithm books, of which will be posted another day.

Analyzing code from stack overflow until i get it, before i use it.

that way you can pick up lots of useful features about a language or deepen your understanding for a topic, especially when you're just getting started.

Bad dev habit I am trying to fix: copy-pasting code without understanding

4 and a half years doing socket/network programming and I only just learnt my understanding of TCP was largely incorrect...

Well then... That's something...

Why are some people just so dumb? Not specifically with programming or development but just in general. How have we not reached a point where everybody has a substantial understanding of common sense and ethics?

Documentation is your friend. I learned off of just documentation and experimentation and I feel I got a broader understanding of the language more than any tutorial could.

I fucking hate this low level programming shit. The fucking buffer overflow attacks and the whole understanding of the system architecture just goes over my mind. Can anyone who has found relatively useful resources be kind enough to refer them to me so my stupid mind can understand that better?

Sure go ahead throw me off a bridge into a task thats completely out of my ability in an area I have no experience or understanding almost completely unrelated to the role in which I applied for.

Is it just me or do any of you people also hate asking for help with understanding other devs code?

At the same time I also hate explaining my code to other devs, like I have to justify I'm not an imbecile.

Copy and pasting from internet.

Without fully understanding the code.

IBM Cloud channel on YouTube is fucking brilliant for understanding different tech.

this is fine xD

The time when the algorithm was so complex, that after understanding the logic, the tester quit...7+ yrs and it still works in production...bugless

My reward for understanding this thing is an early night. Time for bed :) remind me not to submit this assignment with the comments still in it. As I have done before.

Focus of mastering one language, don't jump around to every web langue out there.

Also don't follow the programming language band wagon. Focus and master the basics first HTML, CSS, Jquery. These aren't going anywhere and a SOLID understanding of JavaScript will go WAY further then you think

The people around me only call me hacker. Kinda sad to not being able to talk to somebody understanding what I really do.

Ability to ask the right question the first time.

Sometimes the hardest part of development work is first understanding the question that’s needed.. the answer isn’t typically hard to formulate from there.

I've been using git mindlessly for a while now. But this week I've been working on getting a better understanding of how it's working.
There's a lot there that exists, it's nice to be doing it properly and not destroying branches and not understanding why.

As a junior dev from a sysadmin and security background, this is a list of software development concepts I never seemed to truly understand but hope to(rated from most intimidating to least):

1) Frontend web development and all the huge world of javascript frameworks and tools. - It's more overwhelming than the political geography of the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages.

2) Machine Learning, Deep Learning and A.I- too much math that fucks with my brain.

3) low-level programming(kernel,drivers) - sounds extremely interesting but the code in assembly/C/C++ looks like Linear A Minoan hieroglyphics.

4) Rx(insert language here) - I never get why it is useful or why someone invented this. Seems interesting though.

5) Code Reflection - sounds like Thelemic magick.

6) Packaging, automation, build tools, devops, CI, Testing -seems too complicated. I just want to run an executable at the client or make a web app that does something. Why all this process?

Xamarin vs Android Studio?
Pros and Cons?
Plan to get into Android Development in my holidays. I am very experienced with C# decent understanding of Java. Which one should I go for?

Perfect understanding on what clients actually want based on what they said.

Complaining about people not understanding basic python syntax but I also don't know even know how to use fucking scratch.

Power tripping idiots who just chase brads for their personal gain without understanding the underlying scenarios are primarily driven by money and have no sense of responsibility towards others or their surroundings.

Fuck such money hungry job seekers.

After watching The Imitation Game and understanding the Turing machine, I've got so much respect for every single thing a computer can do! 🙂

As a mediocre, how do you understand complex systems? How do you effectively read internal documents and designs so you can take out information for your particular use case?

I feel like my intelligence is less than average and I either deep dive too much or too shallow. I am slow and coming on to a decision about my use case after reading through is next to impossible for me but my teammates are fine with these.

1) Let me work with devs without me having to explain fundamentals of programming

2) Stop devs from copy pasting code from StackOverflow or any other project without actually understanding what it does

3) Get devs to actually read and understand project documentation FIRST before jumping into any programming work

Download an open source project and look for code comments to get my understanding... Nothing but 'todos' here and 'todos' there

What I say:
I understand computers.
What others understand:
I am the god of Computers I understand every Language that ist out There and what I cant solve is impossible...

Don't get the logic where good understanding of algorithms is only needed for backend developers.

I hate iOS. Everything works perfectly on windows / OS X on any browser, but then you have retarded iOS not understanding anything of the (simple) ES5 JavaScript I throw at it, and good luck debugging that when your Mac isn't with you.

Getting tired of Apple's shit

I own a start up with two friends of mine - one is great with business, and the other tries to be both a developer and on the business side. I'm fully on development and I find it extremely frustrating to work with him. He copies and pastes code, doesn't understand it, and worse still will never admit it and digs himself in deeper into the hole he's dug. He doesn't code as a hobby and it's purely just assignments in university that he spends any coding time on. I've tried helping him to improve over the past few months, but nothing seems to ever do anything as there's no desire to solve problems - just really dollar signs in his eyes is probably the only reason he's in computer engineering. Recently we got a contract with an organisation to make an extremely simple app for android and iOS as the first stage of their planned development. As I did the most of the work on another project during the summer (while juggling a job with another company as an internship), I asked if he could take this so he can try to improve and equalise work so he does his share. Not only did it take 3 weeks, but it's shoddy as hell and looks like it was done in the space of an hour. In reality it took days for him. It's unbearable! The android code I saw was clearly just copied from various sources and mashed together - there was no planning, no understanding of abstractions, and was legit a giant class or two with extreme amounts of redundancy. Hell, he even asked me for help for trying to implement fragments when I pointed out that making screens with buttons and such will be extremely difficult if he is only passing in strings. Any of you guys experiences something like this before? I'm planning on bailing in the coming weeks once my exams are over with for university as it's becoming unbearable.

Understanding the usage of

public static void main (String... args)

There are two stages in programming.
The first is when everything goes smooth as heck, and you're a god.
The second is when everything goes to shit, and you don't understand anything.

Understanding pointer arithmetic in C. M still not proficient in them 😅😭

Just got upset with a coworker due to not understanding the code written, logic, lack of documentation, comments. Nothing!

Other coworker: But Dave, you added that feature last December. Remember?
Me: So what are we working on today?

Concentrating and understanding someone's code/ script. :|

The code is not in class form, does not have comments, and indentation is out of control. T_T

Computers are simple, our understanding is making them complex

How does random number generation work? I'm curious. What are different methods in which you can generate random numbers?

If you could link me to an article or some docs, that'd be appreciated. How far does your understanding of it go?

Thanks for your time.

"When developers encounter confusion, they usually blame the language instead of their lack of understanding."

I love this. It's from the You Don't Know JS Book Series that I'm reading.

Guys I think I might have adhd and I might be bipolar. Except I have brown parents that aren’t very understanding

My elementary IT teacher whom I owe all my enthusiasm to introduced me to MIT Scratch, and I found the concept of chaining dumb operations to accomplish tasks fascinating. Later I learned c++ which I hated vehemently for a couple months until it clicked. After that I studied C#, which I managed to use for over a year before realising what copy by reference actually means. With that realization my understanding of programming languages was essentially complete and since then I have only learned techniques and tricks and languages that add few new ideas, and I don't expect anything to fundamentally change my understanding of programming. All of that was 5 years ago BTW.

Forget about complex problems, understanding context of your teammate thoughts is hard

"Non-technical" users must have some magic skill that goes beyond my understanding. How can anyone work with no-code page builders? I tried Wix, Webflow, Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, and Semplice. Each one sucks in their way, but they have one thing in common: their UI behaves even more erratically than Microsoft Word.

Is there a "non-technical personal computer user" class where people learn that logic? How did they manage to hide their secret understanding from developers? Or what did I miss?

It works. My code fucking works. It shouldn't. I got tons of errors, I changed to some obscure shit, expecting it to fail, but it fucking works. I should be happy, but I'm mad for not understanding how.

So c++ isn't really ideal for robotics? I could just not understand c++ correctly. I think it's just my terrible understanding of why a compiler is needed. I am an intermediate Python Dev, so I guess I'd like to download the "language" and go, ya know?

I realized how much I suck at maths.
But seriously now, I started understanding the way things work, what makes them 'tick'.
It feels good to look at a random huge advert screen and immediately conjure up a pseudocode how I imagine the developers must have done it.

Just people not understanding basic stuff. Headphones mean GTFO.

Hmm I wish I had some intuition when it comes to software architecture I guess. Being able to pick the right patterns and understanding what I'm doing.

One of my most frequent coding errors is putting e before I in function calls because my understanding of English spelling is worse than my code 🤣

Use to do backend stuff, today I spent most of the afternoon understanding and fixing a damn jade file. Fuck frontend, I really hate that stuff.
Sorry to all the frontend fellas here, I have nothing against you :P :)

Does anyone know good resources to learn Arduino Programming?

I have a basic understanding of C, I am looking for a series (of articles preferably) that walks you through the available libraries and the electrical engineering side of things.

guys i did a minor fuck up..... delayed the timeline of the project..... client will call in 6 hours .... i'm covering the damage ...but in meantime ..... what should i say to him when he calls ..?
"Sorry for the confusion" ?
"Thanks for understanding" ?

I thought programming would be as easy as understanding your girlfriend.... It's a lot harder...

Having a CTO who was a strong backend developer, has zero understanding of UI/ UX and frontend part of code is funny as hell, weird and scary at the same time.

People behave so precious and try best to avoid working on other's code.
I'm naive to think that being "developer" entails reading and understanding other's code(a.k.a shit)

From a junior developer, "who's responsible for making sure I understand the context of the feature when we're looking at the story? Are you going to drive that?"

Um no. YOU are responsible for understanding the information I've pointed you to on multiple occasions. I'm not your mother.

Almost everyone is using WordPress, and here I am, looking at the beautifull Ghost, not understanding others.

Understanding git is like understanding JavaScript. You never really what might happen.

Understanding code you wrote a week ago!

Each day, I read the vast swath of ticket hell hole that is our JIRA.

I read tickets that are written by people with not just 0, but an undefined understanding of technology...

I read tickets that are technically impossible due to this 0 understanding...

And finally, I laugh in bitterness seeing the time estimates stack up to months and months worth of work for which the managers expect to be done in 2-3 weeks 😂

I swear that Netlify CMS is straight up magic. Finally something that is simple and unopinionated and just works out of the box. After understanding how it works I just plugged it into a hardcoded project and the hardest part was just copy-pasting the content.

It's high time people start understanding the difference between 0 and NULL. A zero is a numerical 0 and null is just .

for my job I need to know,

Programming, C#, Optimization, Multithreading and Async code, Working certain tools, Reading difficult written code, Understanding, Physics, Networking, Rendering, Codeloops, Memory management, Profiling tools, Being able to make Jira tickets and read Jira tickets. Understanding source control branching, merging, push and pull. bug fixing.

And I write almost 1 line of code a week on average..

I'm a programmer.

When you're the only one in your team understanding git and knowing all the requirements: haven't programmed for weeks, just fixed branches and answered questions -.-

Books, tutorials, documentation and reading/understanding code; whether it's mine or not.

Around 1milion lines. Every class is a rabithole with endless depth of implements. Confusingly named classes without comments. 0 documentation. I do not see the chance of ever understanding what is actually going on. Have fun :D

I'm looking into GraphQL and so far so good, but I am finding it hard to implement business rules, for example:

1. Receive request with auth token
2. Know who the user is by extractin userId from token
3. fetch data related to that user only.

I was only able to make it allow or deny if there is a token or not lol

1. Microsoft shit on linux (Visual Studio, WPF and WPF like frameworks)
2. Non-tech people understanding my achievements
3. Dragon (Most likely to happen)

my own code is confusing me so much that I can't even return what I want to return and been trying for hours

I'm going over stuff like a broken record and seems as though I'm not understanding it at all 🤷🏼‍♀️

“Attempting to debug Westworld is a similar act to understanding someone’s else undocumented code.”

It's impossibru: I'm doing RxJava + RxKotlin + RxAndroid and I'm understanding it.

Somewhat.

My tests pass, at least that's something. It's not yet doing completely what I want, but the hardest part is behind me. 🤩

That moment when you realize that the annoying beeping sound I was hearing while dreaming was the sound of my server's UPS discharging itself because the power went out. I woke up to the electricity coming back not understanding what is happening 😂

Good friend, Jay. Helped level up my understanding over the years, JS patterns, using APIs, best practices, etc.

Also helped kill off anxiety about the community by proving we work together and share knowledge.

Many thanks and I hope everyone has a Jay in their life.

I'm not talking machine code level here, but purely from a personal development angel - how deep are you happy to go to understand the 'stack'? Is understanding the current top level framework enough?

"We are interpreters – not merely translators between sender and receiver. What we say and how we say it makes a difference. If we want to speak to people, we need to know their language. In order to design for understanding, we need to understand design." - Erik Spiekermann

Me: “I think I’ll check linkedin today”

Clicks on video: “... good perspective on growth and blockchain micro service apis that leverage ML models for understanding interfaces that welcome scalability within a agile environment...”

Me: *jumps out window*

Understanding vulgarised politics and psychology, it showed me good examples to understand some design patterns or concepts like interfaces...

Wish everyone could understand that it's not learning the programming language or the 'best practices' that makes you good it's understanding how things work together and how to mix them to create new things that do what you want is the real engineering

A funny quote and almost a true fact.

"Understanding closures, is like when Neo sees The Matrix for the first time".

YDKJS 'scope & closures'

Test things you don't think you can get right on first try or are easily screwed up by someone that doesn't have the understanding. Most other tests aren't needed.

Me right now: Sitting in a meeting. Not understanding shit, half asleep. Kill me just kill me now!

Removing 'set -e' from sh's to make it "pass" and not understanding what it does

Working in IT fucking sucks.

Why do people willingly do this to themselves is beyond my understanding.

try to debug by using your knowledge and understanding, i failed and waste time

give up and compare against something similar that works, difference found
