Is anyone’s team here fully Agile and how has that been so far? My team is currently in sprint 0 and I’m already tired of the meetings.

It’s great to be back

I was underpaid and doing a job I didn't really like, I stuck with it for 6 months and told my boss about it. He didn't do anything about it. Our head of department told us at a meeting that as a young professional, you own your career path. I quit the following month and all of a sudden, my boss was ready to listen to him. I told him it was too late, I own my career path and this isn't good for it.

The best way to get funding from VCs now is to include the following words: ML, AI, IoT. To even blow their minds more, add Blockchain.

A coworker was using spaces instead of tabs in python 🤦‍♀️

Forgotten password was sending the password in plain text to email.

1. Find bug
2. Try 3 methods of fixing
3. All fail
4. Tell yourself you're trying for the LAST time then you'll go on to something else
5. End up trying 5 more times
6. Repeat step 4 20 times
7. Cry
8. Finally take a break
9. Return next day, try another method, it works instantly

FML!

This is what happens when devs get frustrated

I've used Java for so long, I switched to Python and I keep doing this

for(i in alist):
print i;
}

My stress ball and stickers just came in, thanks devrant!

Worst coding mistake would be me dropping an entire table of customer names because I forgot to double check the table name in the script. I felt my soul leave my body.

I've only used Cordova for cross platform mobile app development, I want to try Qt, has anyone used it before? Would you recommend it? Thanks.

"There are people who care about the user interface (UI); I can’t do UI to save my life. I mean if I was stranded on an island and the only way to get off that island was to make a pretty UI, I’d die there." -- Linus Torvalds

That is my life in summary, I can't do UI. I love doing backend projects, even when I use bootstrap, I come up with the ugliest looking UI ever. I think developers should be comfortable with whatever they enjoy doing and not forced to do things they are not very good at. (Hello PMs) *side eye*

Apple has finally decided to open up to developers. I never thought I would live to see this day. 😭😭

When you're used to hanging out with developers and you hang out with non developers and get a little comfortable and tell a technical joke then spend an hour explaining the joke

As a developer, which work environment do you prefer; Corporate work or Start up/entrepreneurship stuff?

I kept telling my boss my salary wasn't good enough for the job I was doing, and for over a year, he kept telling me HR says I need to prove myself. I got admission to school to do a masters and all of a sudden, HR doubled my salary. FML.

Alex St John who created the DirectX tech for Microsoft shared some slides on how to recruit developers and keep them happy, this slide particularly stood out. How true is this?

My devrant stickers have arrived! First sticker on my new PC. Now I await my squishy ball 🙌

Am I the only programmer who doesn't like coffee?

I think one difficult thing about being a developer is having all your business friends tell you they have this idea that would make millions but you have to build a prototype (for free) for them to pitch. They don't seem to understand that this is a full time job.

When a project is breaking your heart

I got called to a manager's office one time because his computer wasn't working, I went there only to realise his mouse was not connected to the CPU

How many years have you been programming and what languages do you use?

I'm loving it here, I don't want to go back to Twitter anymore 😂

I had been trying to fix a bug for the whole day, I decided to sleep for a while. During my sleep, I dreamt I was working on the code and I fixed the issue. I woke up, tried what I did in my dream and it Worked! I was so confused and happy

I encouraged my whole dev team to switch to Sublime Text. I feel like a hero now😎

When you find a problem you're trying to solve on stack overflow and it has no answers

I told my boss the project would take one month, he went to tell the stakeholders it would take one week and I didn't know. Three days to the end of the one week, I meet one stakeholder and he asks, have you started testing? 😭😭 #wk1
