Thats what i saw on a wall in New Delhi, India... Lol

When you walk in the room for your interview and you see a whiteboard on the wall

Interviewer: where do you see yourself in near future.
Me: to get a 175+ on my Rant.

A little ago, a devRant user drew something awesome (fantasy stylish) of another devRanter.

I said in the comments that I'd kill for a drawing of my own character!

A day later I got a mention. He'd drawn my character!

Thanks a lot @ichijou! I find it awesome, it's in a frame on my wall now :D

Found this posted on the wall at a courthouse here in Los Angeles. 😂

Manager: We need to setup the security in the Mexico server

Dev: You mean that 3rd party firewall add on?

Manager: Yes

Dev: And set up the billing on the Mexico account?

Manager: Yes

Dev: lol, sure thing I’ll create the ticket

Manager: What’s so funny?

Dev: Nothing

Ticket: Build wall and get Mexico to pay for it.

Java and C were telling jokes. It was C's turn, so he writes something on the wall, points to it and says "Do you get the reference?" But Java didn't.

C gets all the chicks and Java doesn't? Because C doesn't treat them like objects.

But I think C could at least give Java some pointers

How not to design a modem...

Cables hide perfectly - inside the wall...

404 wall not found

Wow!!!

When non devs tell you how long a project will take 🙃

That moment when you've been sat on the toilet reading devRant so long that your legs have gone dead so when you try to stand up you faceplant the opposite wall :-/

devRant is bad for my health !

EDIT: what's more embarrassing is I lay on the floor writing this rant.

Adding an ultrasonic rangefinder makes the robot I'm assembling resemble Wall-E.

Zero bottles of beer on the wall, zero bottles of beer; take one down, pass it around, 65535 bottles of beer on the wall.

Some psychopath in my office keeps refilling the toilet rolls so they roll out towards the wall.

my colleague wants to build a wall.

Me and my senior used to do doodle in papers whenever we get stuck in some code problems or having free time. It always has been our way to relax our mind kind of meditation.

One day our boss saw our doodle work. He asked us to do doodle in office wall. So far this has been our progress.

Boss: Don't be afraid to break things
Me: *breaks things*
Boss: Why did you break things?
Me: ...

I tried something new. Otherwise, I am hitting a wall.

GettingMarried is a void because there is no return. :p

University dorm admin story:
One guy had a problem with his ethernet cable. He broke RJ45 and wanted new one, so he asked on dorms group what to do. He was pointed to admin. So he grabbed a knife, cut the cable as close to wall as he could and walked with it to the admin guy. He said that he had problem with his cable and want new RJ45, so admin applied it on the both sides. Then he asked how to plug it back to the wall :D

Me everyday:
1- Get excited to start coding
2- Start coding
3- Run code
4- Bug found
5- Start debugging
6- Start feeling frustrating
7- Start questioning myself about career
8- Start hating life
9- Start banging head against the wall
10- Start looking for a different job
11- Oh shit! It was a typo
12- Go back to number 1

Wife has literally the best IT job in the city. First wall of miners up and running. From my previous post of the 8 card boxes to this -- stacks of them and more stacks of bitmains. Fuck I wish these were ours. I know one IT honey that's getting chased around the house tonight cause she's sending me pics like this:

"We need to get visitors age, gender and it would be nice if we could get city too.. can we pull this from the cookies so they don't have to enter the information on our site? How much info can we even pull, we need as much as we can get"

I literally kicked a wall when I received this message

* On a field trip *

Oh please don't.

My morning motivation on the wall next to my desk.... Have an ever growing collection of Oatmeal art now....

Deconstructed Wall-E?
Nope. My project for final semester of engineering.

We just moved offices, and I got a desk by the wall, so I took full advantage.

Submitting my homework in LaTex makes me want to print it out and hang it on the wall because it is so beautiful.

Very specific and annoying situation here:

- Working on a machine learning project with other people
- I'm on Linux, they use Windows
- We code in python
- We generally use vscode for development, and its python extension

I implement some basic neural networks with tensorflow, and add a bunch of logging for it. I test it on my machine and it works fine.
But, my group mates report that "after a few seconds the entire client hangs".
Apparently it only happens on Windows?
We start debugging the hell out of the code I implemented, added 20 log messages and sat there for a solid hour.

Until I make one very odd realization: the issue doesn't happen when I run the script in my terminal, instead of vscode with the debugger. So I try different debug settings, using an external terminal instead of vscode's built in debug console seems to fix it too.
And I make another observation: In the debug console, some messages don't seem to appear at all, while the external terminal shows them just fine.

So, turns out, that printing an epsilon character: “ε” (U+03B5), causes the entire thing to hang up.

It's the year 2020 and somehow we still can't do unicode.
I'm so done, what on earth.

1 bottle of beer on the wall take one away throw it away, 0 bottles of beer on the wall.

0 bottles of beer on the wall take one throw it away, 3560890 bottles of beer on the wall

Rant face has now joined the wall.

Brought my blue switch mechanical keyboard to work.

My colleague came in wondering what that tapping sound was. Heard it through the wall 🤔😂

the new fanboy corner on my room wall :)

Apparently IT includes fixing the lights and repairing the wall signs.

Just got a email from interviewer, thanking me for introducing him to Devrant!!! Called me for a second interview.
***Told him about DevRant in first interview ***

Spend 5 hours debugging why my curl request in PHP was giving 302 status code, and why my postman was giving 200 for the same request.
Then after crying a lot, I realized the URL was wrong in PHP.
*I totally want to smack my head on the wall*

WHAT THAT FUCK
I PLUGGED IN MY LAPTOP CHARGER TO THE WALL AND A HUGE SPARK APPEARED AND THE ENTIRE ELECTRICITY OF THE HOUSE FELL

I'm so pissed today .... As someone decides to drop the entire database and the backups intentionally because he is jealous of my department doing better .

While I was coding and accidentally punch against the wall and this happened

In Sweden, we say "someone has walked into the wall" when they have gone sick because of stress.

Damnit I hope I am not on my way

Overnight crash. The realization of why servers keep logs just hit me like a wall.

You guys made my whole day for the first time since I joined. (yes all of you!)

1) I had a 'fight' with a guy I'm making a startup with. Had to explain some of the story of my life, just to clarify that I'm not evil or generally unwilling to understand - regarding me, having the need to keep using practices

2) I've found that a whole niche-community of people seems to ignore the rest of the community and won't tag along. Having spent several months to be able to help, and receiving shit or absolutely nothing, for finally trying

3) Was in a bad mood the moment I woke up, because I fought with my girlfriend last night because she fails to communicate simple things and won't realise it.

Sorry for the bad punctuation, I tried and smartphones aren't a nice way to edit such things.

So my rant is basically a thank you! Not a rant.. But still, I think you people are the best for being so relatable and making me laugh, and feel like there's more of 'my kind'.

I also just fixed a bug in my app by (finally!) asking the framework maintainer what's up, and got a response which made no sense in a logical manner.. That's a rant for another day, I'll aggregate all the 0 fucks given, when I'm finally able to leave this thing behind, and give you a proper curse-filled shit stack of the nonsense I'm experiencing!

The bug would still live if I weren't so energized by devRant

EDIT: '!' != ','

I love my girlfriend, but sometimes she doesn't get dev-work.
Last night, we had a fight over me sticking post-its to the wall in our home office. I find them helpful for keeping an overview of what I'm working on. She finds them ugly and decided to tear them all down without conferring with me. I got pissed. I almost always give in to her quirks and wants in every other aspect of how we live, so I feel like my desk space should at least be under my control. In my anger, I ordered her out of the room. She then proceeded to be sulking/angry with me up till and including this morning "because I overreacted".

Was I wrong? What should I have done differently?

so i posted this image on my facebook wall(my business depends on facebook) and my father commented, check 1000 times then 😐
i wish i could say, it is not that easy, but i feel it is better not to say anything then explain the complexity of programming 😢

Me: *quietly looking at mechanical keyboards*
She: Why do you want another keyboard? $80 for a keyboard? What's wrong with your existing keyboard?
Me: *glances over a wall of bags she owns*
She: ...
Me: *clicks add to cart*

I applaud my coworker who titled the business analytics dashboard showing end user feedback and CES values projected onto the 6 meter high wall of the office lobby.

"International Normalized Customer Effort Score Tracker"

Am sticking this on the office wall to justify my mid-day drinking.

No one is safe when I hit a wall... Not even my best friends.

The screen wasn't perfectly mounted so I unmounted it from the wall for now and rotated it. For a dev this is actually pretty cool :D

Look! Buzzword wall!

Java and C

Java and C were telling jokes. It was C's turn, so he writes something on the wall, points to it and says "Do you get the reference?" But Java didn't.

A couple years ago my now ex-colleagues pranked the lead dev for being nitpicky about the importance of the story post-it wall in the agile process.
His desk was like this the next morning.
Needless to say, he was pissed and we had a good laugh :D

My cat!

My wife and I rescued her from under a car. She’s absolutely adorable. We named her Trinity because she liked to wall-run.

That moment when you notice that devrant addiction is starting to be a global threat to developers:
Stop devrant immigration
Make code great again
Compile a wall around devrant and let developers write it

To the window, to the wall.

What a fu*#king stupid landlord. They got my devrant poster by mail and opened it. Not only that, they posted it on their wall for fun. YOU FU*#KING C*NTS

Them: why do you like programming?
Me: because that euphoric moment and rush oxytocin to my brain, after finally solving my problem, makes it all worth the hard work and bashing my head into a wall for weeks.

Look at the image first, please.

Me: "What's that?"
Closed devRantron.
"Hmm, still there."
Closed browser.
"Nope, that wasn't it neither."
Closed everything that is somehow connected to the internet: FTP client, SSH connections, even the VM.
"There's still something! What is it?!"
Bashed my head against the wall.
"I am listening to music right now... music from the NAS..."

DevRant > 9gag > FB

I wish I could put this much effort into my job.

Won my first Hackathon!

Processing and the Leap Motion play real nice together.

So me and a coworker have gotten into a prank war. He went with several of my other coworkers to a trade show in Las Vegas this week, leaving me ample time to leave him a surprise...

He hates Frozen. Fucking hates it, seriously. Guess whose office just got decorated with 36 Frozen wall decals?

Can't wait to see his reaction on Monday!

Client wants change to web page copy. Client sends wall of text with one word changed.

According to my predecessor, naming variables is easy. You just hang a poster of the alphabet on the wall and start throwing darts. The letter you skewer is your next variable.

If you run out of letters, start again - but dual wield the darts

Totally outside... Definitely not a WinXP background projected onto a dirty wall...

"It is risky to release an app that depends on APIs that you don't control."

Yeah, dude, we also live in the real world.

Better to say: "Your app should handle cases where the third party API is partially or even totally down."

God, some people, they build a wall of rules around themselves and wonder why their skills don't improve.

Welcome to my room!

devRant is awesome, but Disney also manages to light-up my day.
This is how Wall-E became a beloved member of our team, and helped me put a smile on my face throughout a very frustrating project.

It all started in a company, not so far far away from here, where management decided to open up development to a wider audience in the organization. Instead of continuing the good-old ping-pong between Business and IT...

'not meeting my expectations' - 'not stated in project requirements'
'stuff's not working - 'business is constantly misusing'
'why are they so difficult' - 'why don't they know what they really want'
'Ping, pong, plok... (business loses point) ping, pong'

... the company aimed to increase collaboration between the 2 worlds, and make development more agile.

The close collaboration on development projects is a journey of falling and getting back up again. Which can be energy draining, but to be honest there is also a lot of positive exposure to our team now.
The relevant part for this story is that de incentive of business teams throughout these projects was mainly to deliver 'something' that 'worked'. Where our team was also very keen on delivering functionality that is stable, scalable, properly documented etc. etc.
We managed to get the fundamentals in place, but because the whole idea was to be more agile or less strict throughout the process, we could not safeguard all best-practices were adhered to during each phase of a project. The ratio Business/IT was simply out of balance to control everything, and the whole idea was to go for a shorter development lifecycle.
One thing for sure, we went a lot faster from design through development to deployment, high-fives followed and everybody was happy (for some time).
Well almost everybody, because we knew our responsibility would not end after the collection of credits at deployment, but that an ongoing cycle of maintenance would follow. As expected, after the celebrations also complaints, new requirements and support requests on bug fixes were incoming.
Not too enthusiastic about constantly patching these projects, I proposed to halt new development and to initiate a proper cleaning of all these projects. With the image in mind of a small enthusiastic fellow, dedicated to clean a garbage-strewn wasteland for humanity, I deemed "Wall-E" a very suited project name. With Wall-E on board, focus for the next period was on completely restructuring these projects to make sure all could be properly maintained for the future.
I knew I was in for some support, so I fetched some cool wall papers to kick-start each day with a fresh set of Wall-E's on my monitors. Subsequently I created a Project Wall-E status report, included Wall-E in team-meetings and before I knew it Wall-E was the most frequently mentioned member of the team. I could not stop to chuckle when mails started to fly on whether "Wall-E completed project A" or if we could discuss "Wall-E's status next report-out". I am really happy we put in the effort with the whole team to properly deploy all functionality. Not only the project became a success, also the idea of associating frustrating activities with a beloved digital buddy landed well in our company. A colleagues already kickstarted 'project Doraemon', which is triggering a lot of fun content. Hope it may give you some inspiration, or at least motivate you to watch Wall-E!

PS: I have been enjoying the posts, valuable learnings and fun experiences for some time now. Decided to also share a bit from my side, here goes my first rant!

Vampire devs?

In my office, we have a big glass wall (a window wall, however you wanna call it), so we don’t need to turn on the lights until 5 o’clock.

Well, even though I’m goth, I hate to work on a dark office, but two of the other programmers don’t. Actually our boss adviced us to turn on the light to prevent vision problems. Fortunately, a partner of mine always turns on the light at 5 o’clock. They complain, so he tells them “oh, you vampires!!!” And they say “Elizadeath is the vampire here!”

What do you think is better? What works for you?

who here has worked for a bank?

without naming names? what was the scariest thing they did, like, bad code, bad security, etc, that you had to fix

always wanted to be a fly on the wall of the devs office for a bank...

When i'm stuck on a problem for hours, as soon as someone asks me what the problem is the solution hits me like a brick wall mid explanation.

Startup company: "We love competing with each other! We (the sales team) play pranks and pass each other mini footballs! Mandatory team social nights (No we won't pay you for it)!

Me, a typical introverted dev: "HISSSSSSSSSSS, away, away!"

What's with these sales people making software companies reminiscent of 1980s Wall Street trading floors?

How the hell does a guy miss a urinal? What the hell? Are they standing three feet (1 meter) away? And who the hell manages to hit the wall above the urinal? Seriously, the floor is a sopping mess. The wall is a sopping mess. Makes you want to hold it in till you get home. Just, yech!

I have fucking ants coming from the wall next to my cubical

The more i know windows the more i hate it.

Work partners, teamwork is important B-)

How can people use git like that ?
Paris' metro has a simpler network.
If you can stop yourself from all working on the same branch at least do `pull --rebase`.

Mirror mirror on the wall, how many code problems do we have overall?

... Im sorry I even asked

The stress ball matches my wall...it was meant to be! Thanks for the swag, @dfox!

Sometime you have to rant right on the wall...

Drawing html5 canvas made me go to bathroom to look at the wall tiles and assumed it was a coordinate axis

Apply for position as an iOS developer. Nail the interview. Get the job. Get asked to write backend in JavaScript. Now I gotta learn JavaScript.

Holy shit android development is hard. I mean, either I'm spoiled with my packet managers in web development, or gradle just sucks.
I know these things have learning curves but jesus christ it's like hitting a brick wall.

This is not fucking security, it's obscurity! What the fuck is a memorable word without any context! It drives me up the fucking wall. This doesnt help anyone it just promotes people to put silly shit like password or something so they won't forget but it just makes their account weaker.

I don't have a rubberduck so I'm using this origami dog that I made and glued it to my wall for "origami-dog-debugging"? I'm calling him Padfoot.

Overworked team spends 2 months hacking together a Codecademy clone in record time: avoiding best practices, conflating paradigms, throwing shit at the wall until it stuck.

But today I submit a small UI fix that used a table instead of `display: table`...

How the fuck does someone releases a new version of a package without testing one of the core features of that package?

Spent fucking hours, hitting my head on the wall, only to realize that the latest build they have released has a bug. This is not acceptable :@

Me: deployment exploded, the database has to be restored.
C: yeah, the latest backup we have is is from Q1 2016
Me: wat? We have almost weekly changes of the database layout, let alone the content.
C: yeah, you have to execute somewhat 60 sql files ... Have fun
* Sitting in a corner and staring apathecally at the wall*

Anybody else have a wall like this in their workspace or is it just me? I've got bad memory for config strings haha!

Challenges sister to a typing contest.
Finishes his turn and switches the keyboard to Dvorak.
Sister types every word wrong except a and h.
Laughs hilariously.
*Sister throws the keyboard at the wall*
Totally worth it.

Not a C programmer. Recently I did some things in C again recently and now I finally figured out something that bothered me for nearly a decade now.

-Wall has nothing to do with walls. It enables all warnings.

My friends netspeed. Must be nice.... attached in the comments is what I’ve got to work with. It’s sad when my mobile hotspot is faster than my fucking wall connection.

So... C++... Yeah.

Not really a programming story... but a story about how programmers problem solve in real life.

Mods, sort me out if I'm out of line. Anyway, here goes.

So, my wife and I are arguing about whether or not the garage has insulated walls.

"It doesn't have insulated walls", I say, "I've been up in the rafters and their's no insulation there, so there's probably none in the walls."

"Well, why can't you just check", my better half responds, "You could just punch a hole in the wall to see."

Me, taking about 300ms to process this statement. Looks over, and punches a hole in the wall.

"See, no insulation!!!" I say triumphantly.

"What. The. Fuck. Did you just punch a hole in the wall for???"

deerinheadlights.gif

"Um, because you told me to?"

"Well I didn't mean to use your hand, I meant to get a small drill so the hole wouldn't be enormous."

"Well you didn't say "get a small drill", you said "punch"!

And as a laid down to sleep, on the couch, that night I still insist she told me to do it. And while I patched that hole, I still thought it was her fault. And to this day I still think it's her fault.

You cannot give a programmer these vague instructions and expect appropriate results.

Get to attend my first Google IO today! Woo!

This is my wall at my office

Aaaaand my home setup, featuring a bunch of electronics, an orange pi on the wall (the little orange led is a bitcoin ticker), a nintendo 2ds and a nico robin figurine

Just arrived in Sydney 2 days ago and reported for work yesterday. I looked at my laptop's clock and it said its 4:40pm. Cool! Another 20 min and I'm off.

I started fiddling around with my machine settings and noticed my Location setting is off. I switched it on. My time is updated to 2:43pm.

MOTHERF****!!!

"What app is that?"

"It's like yik yak for developers..."
"Like FML for programmers..."
"Like one big groupme for computer scientists..."
"Like Josh from Intro to Data Structures..."

I'm running out of ways to describe devRant.

Me,: we devs need silence to be able to focus properly, and to develop good quality software.

Marketing guy: we need to hang a frame on the wall.

Other marketing guy: yeah, let's grab the drill and make several holes, fuck those devs.

I am a person who gets a lot of ideas for projects I want to work on, then I start writing the code for them, then I reach a wall, stop and restart the cycle all over again.

My motivation on the wall. #ElonMusk

This wasn't an actual interview, it was a nightmare I had before an interview.

So how many whiteboards do you have at home? We are whiteboard exclusive developers. If you take this job would you like a tabletop whiteboard or a wall mounted whiteboard.

Yes!!!! i can buy the stress ball BUT i want EARN it😎

"We’re not insulting Larry [Wall] by saying he’s lazy; laziness is a virtue. The wheelbarrow was invented by someone

We're in the future, we don't need to say 'thank you' by ourselves anymore. Thanks Big Brother.

Coworker: I did not progress much but at least I managed to get rid of all compiler warnings.
Me: That's okay. What were they about?
Coworker: No idea.
Me: How did you get rid of them then??
Coworker: I removed the "Wall" option when I use gcc.

Dear internet providers,

Please make sure that everyone can setup routers so I don't have to stand in tons of rain waiting on somebody to open me his door because I have to stick the ******** LAN cable in the wall, which he really can't do him self....

Thank you.

Quite day at the office. I recreated a button bar from our application on the wall. I'm more pleased with the result than I expected (:

With 3 weeks until deadline, been working massive overtime and under massive pressure.
My body just gave up finally, for 5 days I've been unable to get up at all.

Today I went to Yogurtland, the wall tiles looked like a user's busy Github history. When I got to the order counter I said, you guys have been busy on Github, haven't you?

The employee gave me the most confused stare I've ever seen. I just chuckled and walked out.

Is there a worst piece of junk than Sharepoint? 32gb ram on a dedicated server, clean install... Runs like a dead cat that was ran over by a train several times and full of retarded errors... Sigh...

I'll just go ram my head against the wall for a while

I've now for months been lurking on this awesome app and I love the community. I've been trying to self learn coding but kept hitting a wall. But now i'm starting in school to learn coding and i'm so exited to learn it and be a part of this awesome community.

In my past job,

Boss: We need to send the build by day end. Here is the FTP details you asked for.
Me: But password is missing in it..
Boss: I dont care, do whatever you can do... google is there.. fix it anyhow...
Me: ......(Banging head on wall).....

IKEA small Filur container might be the best IKEA product ever produced. Why?

- it's ridiculously compact for its volume
- it fits the standard grocery bag just perfectly allowing you to reuse old grocery bags as trash bags
- when closed, it creates almost airtight seal without using any gaskets
- it's absolutely overbuilt and ridiculously strong

Why is it so strong? You see, the wall thickness along doesn't matter, but the wall thickness to volume ratio does. If you decide to build a house with the same wall thickness out of same material, it would collapse under it's own weight.

But the wall thickness to volume ratio of this very container allows it to be possibly the strongest IKEA product ever. As a matter of fact, the walls could be three times thinner also rendering the container perfectly usable. Also, this kind of plastic bends but doesn't break. Also, the lid alone has 38 FUCKING stiffening ribs.

Also I like the color and the office vibe the whole thing radiates.

Totally get your hands on one. You won't regret it.

If your website has a login wall, my visceral reaction is to close the tab. After that, my rational reaction is to close the closed tab. Because fuck you.

New job: Asked my manager if i can add documentation for the code/project.
Manager: it's completely useless to use hours on documentation. If you don't understand any thing just ask around. It saves time. Just use descriptive variables and method names.

This is true incident from my college...
We had computer networks oral exam.
Sir asked student what is Socket.
Student answered "That one on the wall"

We won a competition - it was the first time he has taken part on it - and we had 1. place (me :p) and 2. place.

He was happy like a small kid, hung the certificate on the wall, made photos with our principal and the winners and we got in the newspaper xD

Pin your paycheck to the wall.

I found a way to make me procrastinate less on my own projects today! Stream development of it to Twitch.

Yes, there may be nobody watching most of the time; yes there may be nobody interested in a wall of text and no voice; but you just feel the need to stay on-topic when streaming, and I kinda liked it.

New wall paper

I don't know how to feel about it. What story it tells? Python is so easy that even vandals use it or maybe someone bleed on the wall how much she/he hates python. Or maybe it is scream of inner Vandal closed in cubicle who works with AI and blockchain for life's. What is the story behind this?

Heard over the cubicle wall: "Jquery, every element is a turtle. Turtles all the way down."

What?

In my classes whatsapp group
*posts a ppt*
person 1:how do I open it?
person 2:use adobe reader
me:*bangs head in the wall*

Just discover that I can send "echo bomb" to one of my fellow students trough SSH with the write command.

Then I discover the wall command to send messages to every connected user. Not sure if I am brave enough or if I am going to be banned from our network if I do that 😅

I'm buried in projects that I never get time to work on. My boss took the week off, and I'm getting emails from users asking about adding more projects to the board. I'm a single dev at my company. Normally, I have enough patience to get through the day, but today my CIO decided it would be a good time tell my coworker to let me know that the company dumped a third party we used for tons of report automation, and that I need to get these reports hand rolled in house asap. When I sent him a message asking for any kind of details on what this would involve, I found out he left early for the day.

I'm already stressed and putting in extra hours (salaried, so no extra pay) and am having trouble meeting deadlines for projects as it is because I'm constantly pulled away from my dev work to do non-dev work.

I just landed this dev position six months ago and haven't had a chance to build my resume. I'm getting "OK" money considering this is my first full-time dev job. Should I be looking to get out? Suck it up and get the experience? I know we all have crazy expectations on us and frustrating PMs, but after chats with other devs, I get the feeling that my situation is beyond fucked.

Protip: Do not hiccough (hiccup) when bent over next to the corner edge of a wall.

I had a job where the CEO/founder regularly yells at people and punches the wall.

During citywide rollout. He and a few other people went out to buy power inverters so they can power up my PC using someone's car

When your searching for something so off the wall Google doesn't know how to handle it.

I don’t care how many tests you’ve passed, how many certificates you have on your wall, or how many letters you put after your name. I can tell if you’re an idiot one way or another.

To those that put the wrong answer first in their post, I know already where you live, open the door and wait to save us both time and hassle, I'll fucking pulverize you across the fucking wall.

Just attempted to move my mouse cursor over to the cubical wall in order to copy a server name off the list I have pinned up... It's going to be a long day.

"We value your privacy, that's why we want you to agree to all of these tracking cookies."

Fucking GDPR, is getting on my nerves now, can't go anywhere without encountering a cookie wall.

sister comes in my room saying: "hey i cant get on my facebook wall. can you like restart the internet?"

When you have to made a little game with javascript, and because it's your first game you made a beautiful maze with lot of wall.

Ahahah... i'm shit.
I forgot wall have collision.

I'm here now, with 40 different fuckin' walls and much if and else if conditions.

I hate me.

Yeah i know, I can just change my maze but no... I'm lazy. Cry against the collisions is better.

Have good day.

What's your dream GSDR/GWDR setup?

(Get shit/work done room)

Spacious desk, three 21" monitors. MacBook Pro laptop and windows/ubuntu desktop.

A nice big dry erase or smart board on the wall.

Hardwood/hard carpet floors.

One empty wall so that I may bounce a tennis ball against it while I contemplate.

Electric piano.

A tough padded bench for naps and laying down to change perspective.

Very good lighting.

Close proximity to a gym.

I guess I'll have to move out of my parents first though 😅

Wooh! Finally!! I thought I was hitting an optimization wall. Guess the brain works faster in the morning 🤔

After 11hours of coding on friday, got home, eat and went to sleep early.
7 AM, the neighbor from upstairs decided to hammer some nails on the wall. Now at 7:43 I am thinking of calling the police.

When you just merge master into development branch and whole Jenkins wall turns red. Wtf? Wasn't me bro.. o.O

Got my sticker ! Put it on the wall of shame :)

My new wall decoration at the office:

Apple

I remember getting an iPod touch years ago and thinking it was amazing. It had a touch screen and you could play hundreds of games for free!

The other day I had to use an Apple Mac for the first time and I wanted to throw it at the wall.

I have set up a raspberry pi and screwed it with some switches and buttons to the wall next to my bed, so I don't have pick the remote which lays on my shelf...
The pi handles the buttons and switches and sends infrared signals to TV, stereo and receiver ^^

Finally i started to learn Python. Seems to me a promising language. Btw am a .net developer.

Management proposed to work with external freelancers, to "pick up speed so we can release these new designs sooner". We agreed, but of course we (the home team) can't have time to review their work because we need to develop other new features and bugfixes and such...
Weeks later, turns out that their changes are largely incompatible with the work we have been doing on the main branch. We are now rebasing/rewriting huge chunks of their work, probably taking as much time as it would have cost us to develop the design ourselves in the first place.

I used to work with this Chinese coworker who wished himself 'Good afternoon' in Japanese everytime he ran into a wall when coding. He used to say, "Konnichiwa, Konnichiwa"!

But it's worth mentioning that he was such a good guy to work with!

The line between developer and designer is becoming more blurred and I love it.

Does anyone know what the **day-to-day** differences are between working in IT (banks, hedge funds) vs tech (Google, Facebook, Netflix).

In my mind, I see Hell and Heaven. And there's a giant wall in between called "technical interviews + algorithms and data structures".

I'm on the Hell side... And not sure if I should climb the wall 😔

Is the wall even that big?

u know when zucc held that motivational interview of when u do something big or new and u need to expect failure by just running through the walls?

well i ran through at least 10,000 walls by now in this one project and i think i stumbled upon the biggest trump-big-dick-tower-level-mexican-wall i have ever seen.

i have to halt here and learn something entirely new in order to climb this wall bc its complex as Ffffuck

Just hung 2 motherboards on my wall that I'll turn into key holders wire holders, power banks and I'll put up a raspberry pi in between as a little server.

Watcha think?

Thought would create a meme just for fun

Hitting my head against the wall for project ideas 😖

Json ...... Everywhere

So I need a .gitlab-ci.yml file in the root folder of my repository for GitLab CI to work.

I've done that. Hitting my head against wall as I keep getting an error ".gitlab-ci.yml is missing from root directory"

Hour later I found out this is the filename I used: .github-ci.yml

Java and C were telling jokes. It was C's turn, so he writes something on the wall, points to it and says "Do you get the reference?" But Java didn't.

FUCKING SANGOMA WTF???????

You buy FreePBX and then convert great modules from OPEN SOURCE to Commercial.... I get it. Developers need to eat. But I've reviewed the new features and you aren't adding value. Just hiding precious standards behind a pay wall.

FUCK IT. I'LL CODE THIS SHIT MYSELF.

stupid frameworks and all your stupid nice looking code but overload of necessity I am actually debating on going off of the grid or at least ditching frameworks and just throwing shit at the wall and squeezing my knee

Agreeing to everything during a long, boring meeting and finally realizing that you just agreed to rebuilding the entire great wall of china within span of 3 weeks

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones.

I love it when you don't know if your code is working as intended because you can't figure out what the intended behavior should be.

yay!
*sad party horn*

Please ignore the wk99-like code. I've been throwing stuff at the wall.

Every bloody time I respond to a comment, devRant asks me to add my 2 cents. I only have pence here, and there is not fucking coin slot!!!! 😡

I tried the lighting port, it doesn’t fit.

Is anyone else experiencing this pay wall?

Why did the burglar hang his mugshot on the wall? To prove that he was framed!

If literally anything in our system stops working the supervisor's immediate response, regardless of whether it makes sense or not is to tell us to clear the browser cache. There are circumstances where that drives me absolutely up a wall.

Damn, sometimes I want to rant about something rather badly, but feel I can't as I'd inevitably mention something way to specific which would identify me way too easily 🕵️‍♂️

I'll just say talking to our offshore dev team really does feel like talking to a brick wall 😒

Docker.

Even the getting started tutorial didn't worked correctly. It basicly ask you to run commands and fails to execute. I also banged my head to wall few times while trying to connect my dockerized application to database container.

Was a dba for a while. Mostly because I was the only one who knew SQL. Was working with an experienced dev doing front end work with no experience with front end work.

One day he calls over the cube wall "hey the database is broken" so I trudge over there, and see he messed up the call to the BAL from his code behind page. Later, he calls over the cube wall again. Same thing. 3 to 4 times a day. For a week. Finally my default became "no it isn't" and I continued working.

Then when it finally was a database problem, he had this smug look of satisfaction. Yes I'm the idiot.

Day3: the accuracy has gone to shit and continues to stay that way, despite me cleaning that damn data up.

Urghhhhhhhh

*bangs head against the wall, repeatedly*

Become a columnist for the Wall Street Journal writing about the superiority of Apple products.

Never! Deploy! To production! On Thursday! *banging my head against the wall*
Now I need to revert some things manually on production ON MY DAY OFF 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Started a new job at a big firm (previously came from a startup). Both do "scrum". Still have my mind blown because at the new job, we have people join the standup of which NOBODY in the team knows what their role is on the product...
Does this happen often in big corporates?

Nvidia. Why the fucking hell do I need to sign in to my Nvidia account to install drivers? I fucking hate your proprietary bullshit agenda!

Just reopened my first android app project and was truly disgusted by the code.

So thought I should refactor it and publish a new update 😐

The update is still due and I am banging my head on the wall

Today is SQL day.

Been some time since I had to go here, the queries are flooding back to my mind like water over a dam wall. How the heck I remembered these is what I pondered.

Oh well, back to SQL (at a client - yay).

Now you SQL me, now you don't.

I'm just so fed up with these constant updates and changes in the tech world. Can't we just stick to one thing for more than five minutes without it becoming obsolete! It's insane, makes me want to punch a wall am I right?

Finally got my wall up to my desk in whiteboard. 4' by 8' sheets cut to fit the whole wall with a 1/8" clearance at the top. Ignore the raspberry pi, I have to set it up this way because I have no USB network adapter or long enough Ethernet cable. There should have been a magic mirror where the box is but on that specific spot in the wall the studs are only 13 1/2" instead of 14" like they should be...

Boss: I'm thinking something like a facebook wall...

For a site where people access once, download what they need, and never come back.

Was just at my nieces swimming lesson and there was a sticker of tux on the wall, was resisting the urge to ask if the pool was licenced under GNU

(Would have taken a photo but not really a place to be taking photos)

Hello guys, I need your help.

Recently we purchased new property for our company. And we are about to start working there in few days.

And now we are searching quotes to stick on wall there.

Can you guys help me with this?
Please suggest me some quotes.

I have this hanging on my wall as a reminder to do it the right way. or else...

Java and C were telling jokes. It was C's turn, so he writes something on the wall, points to it and says "Do you get the reference?" But Java didn't.

I hate my pinky finger. Can't really activate that little shit while typing code. I recall smashing my fists on the wooden wall from anger, tho, might be the case.

I just wanna use Laravel to build a restful web application, so that I may get familiar with it...

But my teacher wants us to use Java backend. On top of that we should always pass the username + password as means of authentification.

I feel like the only thing left to learn from him is how to properly head bang the wall.

We're completely redoing our bathroom. Apparently i accidentally damaged a pipe on the other side of the wall yesterday, and now we've had a water leak! 😁 Should've written tests before I went home yesterday

May the code of this universe flow through my brain *wakesup* good morning brothers .........
