I present to you the christmas tree of our IT department! Decorated with RGB fans, RAM, CDs and a old Siemens phone.

I have the feeling that the whole software industry is not making any real progress anymore. Or at least not at that speed like for 10-20 years or so. Now one company doing something somehow innovative and everybodys copying that shit and start a feature battle. Just to have more reasons to suck you into their ecosystem and grab your wallet.

I'm so frustrated... My company is at least noticing that excel files sent per emails aren't a sufficient way to grow a business. So here we are, a bunch of web devs, writing scripts and web apps to make business processes easier and more efficient. But the problem is, that in the minds of the bosses, everything has to look "like excel". Every requirement is like "build a table here and there, make it filterable, sortable, searchable and show 50 cols of sales figures". Do you have some articles and resources which can help me to be a better communicator or something I can recommend them to read?

What do you guys think of Neil on software?

I have a stupid earworm everytime the release comes closer. "Release candidad" - in the tune of "Feliz navidad".

... I'am sure you tried it out now! 😂

found that in the source code of react 😆

First teacher = best teacher. I had and awesome teacher in high school, who taught me everything about Java and SQL, so i didn't learn something new about that at university. Shout out to Mr. Leithäuser, maybe he will read it. Thank you for being the foundation of my career and my hobby!

It's 2:30am now and i can't sleep. Do you know these moments, where your mind fucks you up with things you could do, like work on your project? Well, wish me luck for becoming tired in front of loading screens. I just gonna install manjaro :D

Wohoooo they finally arrived after 1 month :) can't wait to put them on my laptop. Thank you guys!

I want an tv series for developers, like "painting with bob ross" was for painters. "Oh i made 3 bugs. Oh dear. Lets make them birds now, yep they are birds now"

My dream is to build an own lasertag gun with a raspberry pi as an open source project with manual, so everybody can build and play it.

I played around with the devRant API and generated the average looking devranter! Thanks @danillouz for the great API and @stop to encourage my brain ;)

It would be fun to iterate through all devrant users and analyze the profile pictures to generate the "average developer look"...

I spent the last hour of writing the documentation for my javascript class. I should be proud, but all i feel is tiredness...

Maybe you guys can help me. I gonna have a job entry in the next time, but i dont know what to say about my desired salary. I got a bachelor of computer science. Maybe you can tell me your amount you got at your entry job. In my opinion, our work sector has a big range of salary... I cant rate it...

!rant
This rant is just a test. I wrote a comment on a rant, in which i used html notation for a bad nerdy joke. I wrote it on my android phone and opened up the windows desktop and the html brackets are gone, maybe interpreted. Can you see the following html brackets?

<h1>i am inside a h1</h1>
<div>i am inside a div </div>
<p>i am inside a p and <b>i am bold</b></p>

maybe its a bug, because on www.devrant.io the brackets werent interpreted. Or its a feature for highlighting? If its a bug i gonna open up a issue for the devrantron app.

coffee ☕

So, i gonna teach my girlfriend programming... But i dont know which language is the best to start. My first language was Java and im not mad about it. But python isnt a bad decision either. How do you guys think?

I'am on an app containing monaca, onsenui and react and i could rant until it hurts, because you cant debug your code properly. Dev console in browser can't show you your bugs, because everything is already packed up and the monaca debug app on my phone tells me only the half of my failures. Does anybody know a better way for finding bugs?

!rant Everybody blame guys for using different IDEs, languages, tools or libraries. But what we all have in common is the feeling of perfection, when you code a function of 30, 50, 100 or 200 lines of code and it runs without errors on the first run 😍

Everybody is ranting about VS and how shitty it is. I didnt had a problem till now, except the fact that you can have 2 birthday parties, while he is updating. I just created a new project...

I had some voucher codes for a website, which a worth a night at a hotel of your choice. This website has a function to check, whether your voucher codes are still valid. Because the website got stuck, i opened the dev console in firefox to find the reason. I found something different: behind the check function was an GET service. Very simple thing, without authentication or flood protection. So i built a python script and brute forced that thing. After a couple of hours, i had round about 20 valid codes. So i wrote to the support team and they were really glad about this. They fixed this within 2 weeks and gave me some amazon gift codes and an job offer. That was my badass moment. Very interesting, that a medium sized, international company could have so simple security issues.

I opened a github repo once, just to work together on a LaTeX project for university. My group wanted to prevent nasty formatting stuff in Word, copy paste shit into one document an MS Office - LibreOffice conversion problems. And we were doing good, we splitted up the document in sections and files, so everyone could do his or her part... It ended up into table flipping madness. Commits with different file encodings, Tabs instead of whitespaces, metadata and caches from text editors, because no one updated the .gitignore... it was horrible

I'm a primary backend dev, not frontend. But the alignment of the grenades make me kind OF ANGRY!

The truth has been spoken
