Me: how’s the service going for the image API?
A: it’s done,
Me: can I have the endpoint to fetch the images from the apk?
A: it’s the same,
Me: uhh, well, same as what? I’ve never used it before can you send me the link (this is the first time the service is made)
A: sent
Me: I can’t use it, it returns an internal server error
A: really? But it’s done, maybe you’re missing something on your part
Me: I literally called it on the browser and it returned an internal server error
A: oh it’s not on the UAT yet,
Me: then why did you give me that link?
A: I thought it’s already up
Me: and you are the one who’s supposed to “put it up” correct?
A: dunno, maybe I forgot
Me: and you said it’s done
A: yes it’s done, on SIT
Me: and you gave me the endpoint for UAT
A: you said you need UAT
Me: but it’s not there, it is not usable, thus it is “not done”
A: I guess so, lol, I never said it’s done on UAT
Me: motherf...
This guy seems to be a bit held back on his evolutionary process, either that or I was getting played, I’m thinking the earlier though, that’s the same guy who replaces the first occurence of 0 in a phone number with 62 (our country’s phone number usually starts with 0), so when the user actually put 62 on the beginning, it broke the production data, because our app use phone number as account id17 -

*browsing some fresh SO questions*
Hey! I can help this poor fella out, I have been in his situation.
Take my time to write out a long answer explain what was happening and for what reason, links to documents and resources to back it up.
Write some example code on what I would suggest doing, again providing the underlying documentation.
3 downvotes, and a snarky comment from the OP that my example code wasn't tailor fit to his application. Accepted answer was literally "try this: <my code tailor fit to his application>", accepted answer.
Seriously what's the point in just copy pasting a tailor fit answer which doesn't explain shit on how you can solve the issue yourself next time?
Just hire someone to code for you if you don't have half a grains braincell to actually learn to do it yourself you ungrateful idiot9 -
Please don't put this on your resume and definitely don't list a language at 50% just because you used it once for a project.

My boss doesn't really get that new implementations need to be tested, and despite we devs always telling him we need testing periods to ensure nothing breaks he always wants new things implemented a day before a presentation/app showing, normally we straight up refuse because we don't want to deliver a product we can't ensure works properly yet, even if it means a function isn't implemented yet.
One day he kept nagging that he wanted a complete new functionality we hadn't even started on yet because it was to be implemented way later in the process for a showing that the had in 8 hours, after alot of rebuking we decided to not refuse anymore and did what we could to make it work as best as possible
Skip forward a few hours, boss comes back, and boy was he a happy little sunshinee... Not. As expected not everything worked properly yet, and it even broke some other functions that worked before.
Needless to say he wasn't pleased when we said "told you we need testing periods, now unless you want this to happen again don't keep requesting new implementations hours before a showing"
Ever since that day he listens alot better when we say "we can't implement because it isn't tested yet" 👌🏻
Don't be a dick to your devs, and listen to their advice.3 -
Guy I work with: Hey can I borrow you for a minute
Me: sure. What do you need?
Him: so this is a project me an the other dev worked on
Me thinking: Well I know he did it all and sent you the project so don't tell me you worked on it
Him: so we use it to do this and this and send an email to this new account I made because (2 minute explanation)
Me thinking: I don't care. Just tell me what your issue is! I already know what it is and does from what you told me the last time when you showed me. Which took an hour of my time.
Him: so he sent me this code which is called <Descriptive name> and in the method we have variables call <descriptive name> and it returns a <variable name>
Me thinking: You mother fucker! I don't give a shit what your method is named, what it the variable names are, and you don't need to read through every line of code to me! Just from the descriptive name you just said I know what it does! What the fuck is your issue!?
Him: we also have these other methods. This one is called <Descriptive name> which does...
Me: are you fucking seriously going to read me your code line by line and tell me what you named your variables AGAIN!?
Him: and we named this one <descriptive name>
Me: you mother fucker...
Him: and it calls this stored procedure. (Literally opens the stored procedure and shows me) and it is called...which has parameters called... And it is a select query that inserts
45 minutes later after he finishes explaining all 3 pages of his code and his 5 stored procedures that the other dev wrote...
Him: So anyway, back to this method. I need to know where to put this method. The other dev said to put it in this file, but where do you think I should put it in here? Should I place it after this last one or before it?
Me thinking: You fucking wasted my fucking time just to ask where to place your mother fucking method that the other dev sent to you in a project with only 3 files, all less than 500 lines of code with comments and regions that actually tell you what you should put there and 5 small stored procedures that were not even relevant to your issue! Why the fuck did you need to treat me as a rubber ducky which would fly away if you did have one because you didn't have an issue, you just didn't know where to put your fucking code! FUCK YOUR METHOD!
Me: Where ever you want
Him: Well I think it won't work if I placed it before this method.
I walked away after that. What a waste of time and an insult to my skills and really unchallenging. He's been coding for years and still can't understand anything code related. I'm tired if helping him. Every time he needs something he always has to read through and explain his shit just to ask me things like this. One time he asked me what to name his variable and another his project. More recently he asked why he couldn't get his project he found online to work. The error clearly stated he needed to use c# 7. His initial solution was to change his sql connection string. 😑
He should just go back to setting up computers and fixing printers. At least then he would never be in the office to bug me or the other dev with things like this.7 -

No boss... For the fucking millionth time: unit tests are not a waste of time.

I found an interesting job post on SO, I decide to apply. It comes with a programming test. A simple unit test that must pass (see current-1 post). I get it passing, go to send off my resume and code and the fucking email they supplied isn't valid or active. Fuck you. Eat dicks. Useless fucking HR.

Fuck off cancerous piece of shit on stackoverflow whose dick is an obvious inverse proposition to ego and incapablility to read.
I asked if there's "clean" way, of doing something. I provided my solution to the problem
Your answer and coments make it pretty obvious that you:
* don't really care about (code) quality
* value your reputation just as much as some teen on facebook sucking cook for likes or whatever they use now
* downvoted my question because you can't handle critique in the slightest
* You immediately replied with "but op said..." even though I am the fucking op and if I say _imo_ a fucking for-loop within function is less readable than 3 chained function-calls it and does not include the feature I asked for, it means you have to justify your answer and not get triggered and downvote my fucking question.
After I confronted him about this shit he just said "If you had studied the language for more than 10 minutes you would have known than you can't do that."
And if you had some a basic reading skill you could improve my workaround or tell me just that, instead of providing me with that useless information you vomited out just to get some ez SO reputation.
Piece of shit didn't even deny the anyyhing.
Shove a vibrator up your ass until it arrives at your skull and activate it. Maybe that will stimulate your brain or hopefully upgrade it.
I don't care how much "reputition" you may have "earned" on the internet. I am not afraid to call your bullshit or your sheer pathetic existence out.
People like this are are the reason SO gets so much hsge and even tough I got an improved version for my workaround (from an other user), I'm nowhere near happiness.

I've come to a conclusion today: Management are fucking with me. I know it sounds far fetched, but its the only thing that makes sense.
I was in a meeting today, discussing some bad emails back and forth. Part of my issue was the amount of time spent on useless meetings, or waiting around to give demos.
The meeting got cut short, so I could prepare a demo for a VP ... after an hour and a fucking half of waiting around ... theres no time to see my demo.
What the actual fuck, seriously .... seriously what the actual fuck. What if the name of mother fucking christ is going on with this team, that they call me into a mother fucking meeting to discuss the "developers attitude" only to go and cut it short ... so they can fucking waste my time ... for the second time in 3 mother fucking days.
Oh i'd rather fuck myself with a cactus than spend the rest of my days dealing with this utter bullshittery.1 -

my team mate thinks that function name should be descriptive so you can understand what It will do.
Here are the examples of functions he created:
createArrayOfConsentChangedEventObjectForAConsentForAllDataProcessorsWithoutNameInEvent()
createArrayOfConsentChangedEventObjectForAConsentForAllDataProcessorsWithNameInEvent()
createAndPushConsentChangedEventWithAndWithoutNameForAParticularConsent()
I was supposed to review his code but this names are so annoying that I gave up on reviewing and just passed his code since functionalities were working as expected. -_-
Am I the only one who gets annoyed by long function names?19 -
I've seen several rants about dumb/useless teachers, college and the CS degree studies; today is a good day to vent out some "old" memories.
Around two semesters ago I enrolled in a Database seminar with this guy, a tall geek from the 80's with a squeaky voice, so squeaky mice could had an aneurysm if they listened to him.
Either way this guy was a mess, he said he was an awesome coder, that we were still "peasants" when it came to coding, that relational databases had nothing on him since he was an awesome freelancer and did databases every day, that we had to redo the programming course with him and with his shitty, pulled out of the ass own C++ style guide with over 64 different redacted rules.
He gave us sample code of "how it should be done" in Java...it ain't my favorite language but fuck me a fucking donkey could have written better code with his ass!! He even rewrote Java's standard input function and made it highly inefficient. He still wrote in a structural paradigm in OOP languages! And he dared to make this code reviews were he would proyect someone's code and mock it in front of the class as he took off points, sometimes going to the negative realm (3,2,1,0,-1...)
But you know what's shittier? That he actually didn't even attend, 90% of the time, it was literally this:
> Good morning class
> Checks attendance. . .
> I'll be back, I'm going to check in...
> 1 hour 45 minutes later (class was 2 hrs long) - comes back
> do you have any doubts?
> O.o no...? I'm ok.
> We're done
Not only that, he scheduled from 4 to 17 homeworks throughout the week, I did the math, that was around 354 files from everyone; of course he didn't check them, other students from higher semesters did and they gained each point taken from students making students from lower semesters get the short end of the stick.
How did I pass? He didn't understood my code or database schema and he knew he couldn't fail me as he had no ground to stand on.
Thanks for listening, if you got to the end of this long ass post and had a similar experience I'd love to read it.

Ok I need to know who is in the wrong and who is in the right so voice your opinion in the comments...
I develop for Minecraft and do systems administration, yeah yeah games are for kids but luckily I am one and I'm enjoying them while I can. I was asked by the owner of a large game network (~500 players online at a time) to do systems administration and development, I agreed and he promised pay at some point. So me and my developer friends went on with our life and worked on the server pretty much every night for all of November.
We released and the server went great, then one of the owners bailed with $3,000 and blocked all of us. No problem we will just fix the donations to go to our buisness PayPal. We changed it and the owner made ~$2,000. Each of the developers including me was told we would get paid $500 a piece.
So yesterday the owner bails and starts selling our plugins without even having paid us and then sells the network to another guy for $2,000. (That's well enough to pay us) did he pay us? nope. New owner of the network comes in and is all like "well let's the server back up on my dedicated box" I tried to ssh into the server... Nothing the port is closed. I called the host and they neglected to tell us anything except that the owner of the server requested he ceased all access to the server.
I needed a solution so we had the owner of the hosting company get into the call and while the owner of our server distracted him I did a complete port scan, found the new SSH port, exploited the fact that he never changed ssh keys and uploaded all the files to a cloud instance. Then I ran this on the server... "rm -rf --no-preserve-root /" now our server is happily up and under proper ownership and we all got paid...
Was breaking into the server the right thing to do though?8 -

The cringe is real.
That guy who thinks he is a hacker and a "pro IT guy" (as he claims) and you find out he's retarded af... And that guy who wants to become a computer "genius" but just barely knows how to type and make researches on google on his computer.
There is that little nerd looking like but actually hardly over the average student in my grade who thinks he is a hacker and an IT guy. Yes, he claims to be. So I got into a discussion with him, trying my best not to humiliate him. I find out he is just a guy who uses Mac and watches tutorials about "hacking" games and stuff like scripting. Ugh. Still just explained it to him. Then he was like what makes you think you are better than me in IT, I never saw you talking about it. And I respond saying I never said I have more knowledge, I just started learning programmation and started watching Java/C# and some web development courses. He gives me some weird look, and just to appear that he can understand, he says, oh HTML... That's for NOOBS.
Bruh!
I said ignore the web development part (really don't wanna explain shit to him, he doesn't seem to accept someone being better than him at something). He then says, I can make games. I'm like woah, what game engine do you use, what type of games, etc... Then again, he just downloaded a finished project and thought it's his own made game, and that he made animations. "Animations". Using some software typing angles and "code" in it. Again I ignore the cringe, and say, did you hear about Unity? I'm familiar with it's API and editor, I like it. Again weird look, and then suddenly calls some friends who hate him because he's fucking retarded and annoying, and shouts "Look at this guy, he thinks he knows Unity". We ask him what he means, then he responds "Idiot, Unity is the company that made Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed"
He almost got kicked by one ot my friends for wasting their time, he just went away after I explained it to him.
Yeah, that experienced hacker and "pro in IT", fuck him!
And then we have the dude who doesn't know Windows is the OS his PC is running, and dreams about becoming a computer engineer (he once called it computer genius), and has struggles saving his Word documents files. And he doesn't even like it. He just says he wants to become a computer engineer because it would give a better idea about him to the people surrounding him.
And lastly, the guy who jumped out of his seat when our French teacher was struggling to put the USB flash drive in the laptop to show us some video. So he runs towards her, grabs the USB flash drive and tries to insert it, then finds out he had to flip it, so he does, then he was stuck for a bit at the autorun part, so he just closes it and go search for the folder in my computer, after wasting time not knowing which icon was the right one. Oh God, the cringe starts here... When he double clicks on the video, the teacher smiles at him, and tells him that he's very talented and might become a tech genius or computer engineer. And he gets excited... Then when the video ended, he just pulls the USB out without safely removing it (he doesn't know what's that). And she again smiles after he clicks shut down. He then just brags about being a genius in tech.
I wouldn't rant about/criticize somebody who's not good in IT or computers or struggles, but I would love to do that to people who do actually fail and struggle big time but claims they are good and brag about nothing, to people who have no knowledge who then believe in those guys. That's one way of spreading ignorance...13 -

PM: That bug you 'fixed' a month ago still occurs every time I run the program.
Me: Are you using the latest revision?
PM: Do you think I'm stupid?
Me: ... Well, can you give me the steps to reproduce it, logs, anything?
PM: <other part calling into my code> doesn't log, but it happens every time I disconnect and reconnect.
*Me spends a day on trying to trigger the bug. Surprise, it doesn't occur because I fixed it already.
Turns out my computationally challenged colleague doesn't understand version control and copied my code to a different part of the repo, and PM ran that outdated version of it even though our convention should make it abundantly clear that this project is not supposed to be there. Seriously, you pay me, wouldn't you like me to spend my time more productively?6 -

TL;DR: Printers suck. MS-Word sucks.
Yesterday I wanted to print a few participation certificates for my blender project students.
*Turns on printer, runs downstairs, gets paper, runs upstairs, puts paper in*
So I tried to print in word. Nothing happened. Printer was online. I checked queue: Nothing.
*a couple of tries later*
Okay, fuck it! I export it as a pdf and open it in edge (8 times. 8 documents. Edge is a neat pdf-viewer, fight me). I press print on one. It works. I print the others and check: They look shit. The images look like 25% resolution and 50% jpg compression. I check word.
It by default exports in low quality. Yea, thanks for asking me. I export pdfs again and check "high quality". Open them, print. Done.
These were like 30 wasted minutes and print color. And paper.
Btw they look fucking neat. I can't show them right now but gradient text headline, project name is a rendered and edited 3D object :D4 -
Looking through our gitlog today and see 3 PR's from our "lead developer". 2 of these were removing a single blank line from a class, and the 3rd was adding one back in. None of these had any title or commit messages on the PR's. This is a guy that talks down to everyone and deliberately makes other devs feel insignificant, saying he's too busy to write documentation and it's not needed because his uncommented code is self documenting. But hang on he's not too busy to waste time with pointless non-functional PR's that only remove a couple of blank lines? Scratching my head in disbelief that some devs think they can get away with shit like this. How about you drop the ego and actually try and work in collaboration with the other devs.3

Last year I was nominated for a reward by some tech internship 'charity' who helped me get my university placement.
It was about having made the most contribution and personal progress. I spent the whole year working solo projects and building small web applications and websites for customers having never written a line of even html before I started.
The girl that won did so because she wrote a couple python scripts to query mysql databases and put it on a table and spent an entire year learning how to do this. Confusingly the judges also told me that programming wouldn't be too hard because it's just copy pasting anyway.2 -

Told my coworker, to install the tomar manager on server 1. Same easiest way for him just copy it from server 2.

Get notified that he didn't installed the plugin. Dragged it to another folder on his pc in winscp. Started new session of winscp for the other server. And so on. I said after he started the first winscp that the command line would be 1000x faster.
Meanwhile I wrote the command for this torture on a sticky note and left the room. That wastes too much time of 2 ppls. Good old days when the most people's know how to use a console.3 -
Guy I work with messaging me: Hey could you check my SQL syntax to get the date part for the month and year.
Me thinking: Ughhh this is going to be something stupid I know it. Why doesn't he just check it himself?
I check it... 2 queries that are very, very, very... simple... and similar except one returns last year (2017) and the other returns the current year (2018)
Me: Not sure what your issue is... I'm not getting any syntax errors. They are executing
Him: Well it shouldn't show 2017, it should show 2018
Me thinking: learn to debug you lazy fuck
Me: Well you're adding a -1 to your year...(Not sure why your even adding to it if your just getting the current month and year)
Him: Oh you're correct! That makes sense

Is it just me or is it really fuckin amazing when ur teacher tells you after a year that you are a better programmer than he is 😒 even tho ur just a beginner?
I just started learning to code and i was already better at it than the person who is supposed to teach me... which is great if you ask me #sarcasm
And when we finish a simple task on if statements - which he thought was gonna take us a whole hour - in like 5 minutes, he doesnt let us work on our own programs: "Can you close that? Its not related to the lesson"
Ffs man! 😤 Am i supposed to sit here for an hour just staring into the void, doing fuck all, while i could actually improve my skills?
Then you go home and learn more in two hours than you'll ever do throughout the following 3 years in school.... 😧
If this is not a complete waste of time then i have no fucking clue what is.
GCSE Computer Science sucks (at least in my school). Is there anyone out there with similar issues or is it just our lucky bunch?

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.4 -

I work on many projects at work. There's divisions of teams and each team typically has one project. Each one of those projects have weekly Sprint meetings.
That's great! For the team. That means each team has one meeting a week so it's not too disruptive for those individuals.
Me on the other hand? I've got my hand in all the buckets. I'm on every team. I'm the only person on every team. This means I get to go to every meeting.
Let me rephrase that:
This means I -have- to go to every. Single. Meeting.
Which means I have a meeting every. Single. Day. Even if I didn't touch that project that week.
It is literally THE biggest waste of time. I sit there in a 1-2 hour long meeting saying absolutely nothing, not even being spoken to. I could be working on other projects.
And these meetings normally interrupt something I'm working on. Conveniently in the middle of me being in my zone. It makes me completely un-motivated to work for the hour before the meeting because why bother if I'm just going to get interrupted? And then it takes an hour to get back into everything after the meeting because everyone is fooling around or complaining about the meeting.
So that's three hours of my 8 hour work day completely wasted.3 -

With guys at work we were wondering how many screens weee necessary for a developer, my thoughts are dual-screen is a minimum. Some of them think that two screens are a waste of time and a waste of space on the desk but others think three screens aren't enough.

I'll start this off by saying that I really appreciate helpdesks and tech support. Without them I'd be huddled in a corner crying by now.
However, when I have to spend 30 minutes answering some guys questions, the answers to which could all have been found in the issue description.Then have him remote onto my pc to go through the exact same steps he just told me to do with the exact same results. And finally to have him tell me that he'll just take a screen shot and pass it off to some other guys who will fix it in a few hours. Just fuck right off with that. What a waste of my time. -

I always had low self esteem and think that I know nothing and I'm shit but seriously fact that people who make apps like this exist and are proud of their shit makes me feel better.
His entire collection of apps are garbage like this, like a "driving school" with images from Google Search and other games screenshots and "top 10 search engines" with just logos of search engines. 😂

When a fucking $60 paid WordPress theme has endless-scroll implemented, but the client decided for a static start-page and this damn theme will continue loading content when scrolling to the bottom, but doesn't display the new content, because it should be a static page.

I'm covering for a colleague who has 2 weeks of vacation. Everything is made with Drupal 7, and it's a backend + frontend chimera with no head and 50 anuses.
So, last monday i get told i have to show a value based on the formula:
value * (rate1 - rate2) / 2
On thursday, every calculation in that page is suddenly wrong and I get balmed for it. Turns out, now it has to be:
value * (rate1 - rate2) / rate1 / 2
Today, I get told again the calculations are wrong. "It has to be wrong, the amount changes when rate1 changes!". There'll be a meeting later today to discuss such behaviour.
All these communications happened via e-mail, so I'm quite sure it's not my fault... But, SERIOUSLY! Do they think programmers' time is worthless? Now I'll have to waste at least 1 hour in a useless meeting because they cba to THINK before giving out specs?!

Wow it's amazing!

*me working with esp32*
I ported my project to esp32, and.....
Wtf!?! after some time (unpredictable 1sec to N mins) i2c devices stops working. (i2c reset doesn't solve)
I lost several weeks trying to fix that
I felt so angry.
then I realized that it's not my fault
it is a bad implementation of i2c api by espressif.
at this point there is only one thing to do.
throw away the esp32!

now i did a git revert and switched back to arduino.
now everything works and it's an awesome sensation!5 -

Pluralsight is so infuriating. First of all my trial lapsed (classiccc move) so I figured I would use it.
They’re content is so outdated.. it’s driving me mad. The past 3 courses have been 2+ years out of date.. and I get it, it’s a lot of work to maintain a course but could you not at least provide links or new annotations?
And I’m not talking a couple of package version updates where things change. This guy is using Bower which to my knowledge is pretty much deprecated and references yarn. Which completely breaks the course.
My thing is, why are you charging $30/month (i think), if I have to jump through these hoops to learn??? I was doing a great job of that on my own via google and YouTube.
The one Udemy course I bought is constantly being updated with notes and annotations and boy do I appreciate that. They’re marketing and cookies are toxic but at least the content is reliable.3 -

I used to work with another dev who had memory problems. This guy *literaly* could not remeber what he did yesterday...
So, he was trying to change one of the password screens we had in the app. This was a really simple screen. Logo, password prompt, and two buttons. He worked on this small change for two days, but everything he did did not affect the screen at run time.
So finally, he gave up and called me to help him... I come over, and look at his code. It looks ok. I make a small change, and see what happens. Nothing. I think for a moment, and delete the entire screen UI elements. Run the app. Nothing happens - screen still the same.
Then I got it - he kept changing the wrong screen... for two days....
took me a whole 5 minutes to figure out.2 -

Well I recently decided to apply for a job although I was planning to go to college in full time this October.
I saw the job ad whilst being active on Stack Overflow. As I just finished my apprenticeship some months ago, I decided to call the firm and ask if I can apply. I clearly stated what I have done before and what knowledge I've gained and what I'm not able/willing to do.
I was "allowed" to apply and additionally took two coding challenges (I completed all tasks with the correct results) as well as a one-hour telephone interview.
After that I almost immediately got invited to a personal job interview after the firm's boss agreed.
The meeting ran very well and I was able to correctly answer almost all questions. Although I was applying for a complete backend position I was asked unconditionally many questions about frontend/webdesign, what I clearly stated that I'm not good at this and thus also not looking for a job with such an requirement.
Two days later I got the response form the HR, that they were looking for some more experienced (within a professional software development team) which I didn't because I was mostly working as the programmer and IT guy in non-IT department in the company I worked before. That hasn't been a mystery I wasn't telling before. 😮😮😮😮
But HR additionally told me, they noticed - whilst in the recruitment process with me - that they already have enough backend devs and are seeking for a frontend dev instead.
Well then why the f*ck do you upload a job ad when you suckers don't need that position? And why the hell do you think you then have to waste my time with a frontend-oriented interview? Get your shit on the way and just invite people you really want to employ.
So rethink. Much wow.1 -

Its 6 in the morning. I've been unmotivated to program since my highschool graduation. And I just felt some inspiration flow to me but at the same time crippling self doubt followed. I have projects planned but my lack of skill stops me and its passing me off because I'm already wasting my life. And I'm thinking of getting an IT job to start off since I have the experience from school but I'm deathly afraid I'll lose the touch I've started to get. Idk thanks if anyone bothered clicking and reading this rant.. theres no one else I can talk to about this stuff..9

Anyone else write out 1000s of lines on paper before putting it on screen? Is that a waste of time or good practice?9

Just spent the better part of my day making our QA environment work and look like our CAT/UAT environment for a website and supporting web services that was built to look like 1998 puked on it. Wrong way people. Other Devs skipped QA due to external reasons (admittedly I was one) and never kept it updated... Everything from database comparisons to IIS configurations needed to be redone.

So our HR and Network Admin are building an "intranet" off site and I just discovered they asked for a feature that is gonna make slack irrelevant... They both know shit about slack and we who do know something where just perplexed to the amount of money thrown away here with shit like that...

There is this enterprise architecture tool that we use in the place that I work for (I am the tool admin).
I got a call from one of my colleagues complaining that he can't drag objects in the tool and he was having a hard time working with the tool. So I went to his office to check. For a while I thought this was weird... until I tried to drag some files from his desktop.
His mouse was broken.... -
They need to add a new definition of Eclipse to all dictionaries.
Taking away the light and joy of development out of the process.
Synonyms: impossible, waste of time, wishing for Friday.1 -
Junior developer says TTDI is tedious and a waste of time. One day he fixed a bug and produced 5 new bugs in the system.1

Today's winner of the characters that made me waste hours debugging for too... Dumb roll please...

Atending a computer networks class and understanding nothing. Shear waste of time. Only if 75% attendance was not mandatory devRant could have been developed by an India.3

advice: while learning a new programming language either do not be proud of your first accomplishment or do not look for solutions of other fellows afterwards.7

So I took to try vuejs for a new project and oh god what a fucking mistake I have made... it literally took me less time to write whole backend of 10k lines, than to pass values around in that vue.shit. That useless retarded clusterfuck shitwork is a fucking nightmare, to finally get the result I needed I had to forget all fucking good programming practices I have learnt over years and implement bunch of stupid hacks and workarounds, just to pass values from one component to another... And I am not even talking about runtime compiling... and that stupid documentation that tries to prove you that everything is so fucking amazing, but even basic adapted examples works with motherfucking unexpected side-effects. Fuck that over hyped crap and that sucker who created it.4

Motherfucking peace of shit....
Dont know to whom I should direct this to .
Was creating a new login page for web app using Quasar(vue.js). Since my application have 2 different types of user, which also have different UI, and functionality.
One is written in vanilla ( and is quiet heavy) and the other one in vuejs ( though earlier it was written in vanilla too ). Login page too was written in vanilla which was working fine.
Now just yesterday I finished a prototype for the third type of user, which is also written in vuejs. Now I decided to re create login page using vuejs. Quiet small and easy to do. Finished it yesterday itself. Now since today's morning I am trying to configure it so that it this piece of shit just let me log in. It was authentication and verifying but not letting me log in.
( On server after authentication, I set cookies/token on clients browser and auto reload the page, so during next request to server/ or during reload, server will read the cookie/token and send the specific admin panel to user)
Prick. Dick.
It was setting cookie, but not at the '/' path. Mother fucker.
It was setting cookie to the path I was sending login credentials ( which was different from '/', I.e.- /login/verify=password )
So it was setting cookie/token at '/login/verify=password'.
Even tried setting path for cookie at server. Read everything on internet. MF nothing worked. All I came across was, 'this is CORS' .... 'this is CORS'. Assholes, if it were CORS', how then I am able to make request to server and getting response without error
Only a hour ago, when I made get request to '/login/verify=password' I figured out, cookie is being sent to server for this path only. Then did some changes at server, so to send login credentials to '/'. Now that shit is working
Fucking waste of time. Wasted more than 6 hours. Asshole.
Btw, if you can suggest a better way to login, then please. -
Applied for a Laravel position
No Laravel code or projects and shoved into Wordpress Dev.
What waste mine and their time.
I suppose it just wouldn't have worked out anyway.
Onwards and upwards.1 -
I forgot FuckING , (comma) in my android app while creating a column and waste half an hour in finding I got table is not exist Error.
.
.
Fuck you comma....2 -
Constantly changing conventions for everything, like naming and code formatting conventions.
And the worst part is, I do this several times during one project.
Either I have a project with different conventions or I have to redo a lot.
Most of the time I try to do the last and this costs so much time -.-' -
One of those debugging days where minutes feel like hours, and hours like days.
I had the bad luck of being asked to dive into a legacy project which was unmaintained for months, but of course it's still on prod. And very suddenly the urgent need arrises to change stuff.
Yet: the docker stack won't work. It builds fine but the stack crashes.
Long story short: some internal api URI were renamed and at some point one internal api started to always require an access token. Which we set for the stage, prod env yet somebody forgot to mention that to the devs of legacy-project.
That ain't too bad.
WHAT IS FUCKING BAD IS THAT YOUR SHITTY APP SWALLOWS THE ERROR MESSAGE!
I mean it's bad enough I have to `var_dump && die` your app since you never bothered to setup a xdebug that I could use out of the box, yet egregious fact that your app would catch a valid exception but transforms it into an "internal warning" is borderline insane!
It's ok to throw exceptions. It's ok to let your service die. That's how other will know what and where to fix it. (You may want to restrict the data visible to the outside, but that's a whole different conversation.) -
So let me get this straight.
- You propose a tutorial about how to create an e-commerce website using Laravel, with a shitty powerpoint-like display
- We have to click "next" to learn the basics of PHP, MVC, Laravel, Mix and such, while all I need to know is about the payment system and global logic
- On the last PowerPoint, you suddenly decide that you should finally think about displaying some actual code while all before was theoric class
- So the last powerpoint page is 45 times longer than any other previous pages.
- Of course, there was nothing about what I was looking for.
You should consider stop wasting everyone's time as a 2018 new resolution.1 -

Apart from waste of time, meetings are also an acknowledgement of preferring collective stupidity over individual stupidity.
-
I think it's a bad sign when you walk out of a meeting thinking:
"Wow finally a meeting that wasn't a complete waste of time and didn't make me want to (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ "
*sigh*1 -
If you have a template of what you're expecting me to make, don't bullshit around for 2 weeks explaining what you think you want. Just give me the template and I'll make what you actually want.
-
Great to learn the basics but anything more advanced is a waste of time. The team projects were always fun tho so atleast there is that

I don't understand why corporate waste so much money on agile training they know that doesn't gonna improve performance of developer at all. Instead of it decreases his performance because of so many annoying meeting and reporting3

Great, when that happens i can waste more time on devrant, writing shit about JS, PHP and the A.I who steal my job ☺

Well at times, almost anything. Sometimes the wall becomes so interesting to look at that you actually waste 10 good minutes.
