Watched this movie called Unthinkable where the guy who is supposed to defuse the bomb is typing gibberish into Excel 😂😂😂

My first interview is in approximately 2 hours and a half. Pray for me and if you are a non-believer wish me luck. 🙌

How many of you have Linux as their sole OS?

To all developers,

Please stop making web applications where ALL state is saved in cookies. If I make a search and select a result, why the hell are the search parameters not in the address bar, but rather in a bloody cookie, and why when I select a result is this page not identified by a unique address? Rather saved in a COOKIE. This makes having multiple tabs open pretty useless.

To all my fellow devs.

Do NOT deploy this weekend unless you want to debug in your parent's house in your old bedroom at midnight 😅

Thanks java! FAILURE :java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: OutOfMemoryError thrown while trying to throw OutOfMemoryError; no stack trace available

A cable company in my home country recently launched their cloud hosting solution.

Their cheapest plan is $125 and it comes with a 1vCPU, 1GB of RAM and 50 GB HDD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. That's the equivalent of a $10 plan in DigitalOcean.

P.S.
Picking Linux or Windows does not change the price 😐

Finally found a place where I can relate. Where are you ranting from?
Honduras here 😄

Hey guys a couple of months ago I posted asking for help on how to land a remote job. A few weeks ago I got an interview and today I started my first remote job. Thank God and to all of you who suggested help.

When you're a newbie at your work, fresh out of school and your company does not have a test server and the plus is your boss does all his coding via vim.
The sharpest learning curve and you quickly realize how much more learning is done after school.

So I work for a company that has a recommendation system. If the person you recommend gets hired and works for more than 3 months you get a bonus.
$500 if you recommend a man
$700 if you recommend a woman

Isn’t this discrimination?

I know they are trying to incentivize women to get into tech but this is just ilegal and quite frankly not the best way to get results.

You know what is worse than a bug? A bug you can’t replicate!

Happy Story,

Today I got a slack message from someone saying that she now reports to me. I had a big grin on my face. I have just been working at this company for 4 months. I hope I do well.

Got a job offer as an Android Dev, signed the contract, while signing employer asked me if i am a mac or pc user. A day before my joining date got an email from him asking me to bring my mac with me on my first day. Turns out he won't be providing me with a machine to work on :).

Just had a discussion with a coworker. I noticed he was storing dates as string in mongodb, saying it was better for comparison and because he stored them in UTC. WTH, mongo already stores all dates in UTC and a string date is imposible to compare. I wasted 8 hours finding that last part out.

I see what you did there Tesla. Well played!

How is it a thing that developing a desktop app nowadays requires an enormous amount of RAM? I stared working on an electron project and the whole thing takes up 3-4 GB of RAM when running, and that does not factor in my IDE or anything else.

But the packaged app does not go over 400mb, although we have had memory leaks in the past

Trying to explain to people why 6GB of RAM on a phone is overkill.

Seriously, you do know your phone can only do one thing at a time right?

And Android still shuts down the app after certain amount of time even if there is enough RAM.

Ohh the CSS style is not being applied? Let me !important it. 😆

70 bugs in a Sprint.

Solution to callback hell, don't indent the code :/

Have you ever felt that you did such a piss poor job that you don’t even want to charge the client for it?

Never had a developer interview before. All my dev jobs have been independently 🙌

Safari is the new Internet Explorer.

Change my mind!

A team member keeps skipping the git hooks so he doesn’t have to fix the linting issues. What should I do?

So I have a technical live interview tuesday and thursday, they last around 1 hour each. What should I expect?

Have any of you tried Firefox Quantum? What are your thoughts about it? I am thinking on switch from Chrome on macOS.

What software do you guys use to make your CVs? I've been using ViusalCV but I'm looking for another alternatives. Do you just use MS Word or other word processing program?

How does one get experience on working in teams if every project I've built has been solo because of a lack of developers from where I am from?

I graduated last year from college and basically taught myself. Every time I see a "developer" label HTML as a programming language I can't help but to look down on them.

I love Airbnb’s UI in their iOS app. ❤️

How good are the "For dummies" books when it comes to CS topics?

Hello fellows devs,

I've been wanting for a while now to get a remote job or just find a job that helps me relocate outside my country. If any of you have managed to achieve any of these would you care to share your story and any advice on how to get it. I've been looking at landing.jobs and seems promising.

Also, can I appear more appealing to recruiters?

Not get distracted by the internet and finish the projects on time.

I'm in the lookout for a new laptop for my dev work and occasional gaming (Dota 2 only), needs to have at least 16GB, 256 SSD, decent battery life and portable.

Which laptop do own?
Which do you recommend?

Friday, when you're wrapping up you're solving all the bugs there is and Monday the hello from the other side asking you to come again.

Does anyone here use PHPStorm? I upgraded to 2019.2 and it has slowed down considerably. I'm on a MacBook Pro 2017.

Si this was a very good and bad week at work. The good part is I finally learned how to properly write tests. Not that I am a pro at it, but at least they don’t suck now.

The bad is I took a ticket that I now see was terribly underestimated, but hopefully I will finish it and the rest on time.

Just asked our devops guy to create 2 environments for 2 repos (BE and FE). He said this would take around 10h. Is this normal? Nothing fancy just a NestJS API and a React FE. It’s in AWS.
