Everyone loves freebies!

So solicited spam time 😎

Developer Nation is running a survey to gain insights, explore trends and track developer experiences across platforms, languages, revenue models, verticals, tools, segments and regions.

Yea ok, it's a massive questionnaire, but did I mention the freebies?

Not sure if pricing error, or Holy fuck balls.

But Assassins Creed Origins - Gold Edition is $20 right now🤯

Me: purchases Amazon Fire stick TV

Amazon: thank you for your purchase, we recommend buying a Fire stick TV Lite.

Me: so, you want me to buy the cheaper model of the item I just bought?

Amazon: hell yea, it'll go nicely with your current Fire Stick TV and offer even less functionality,

Wow, I'm going to have a hard time remembering this one.

IT have changed after so many years the password criteria for our machines, to the point it's a bit ridiculous.

Today I navigate the devRant oceans for the 157,680,000 second.

Who knew this place would be still pumping some of the greatest devs I've come to appreciate so many years later, it's not the vibrant place it once was, but it's still full of hidden gems.

Yay, it's Monday!
And as Monday's go, there's a prod deployment, cool beans! 30 min later it's done!

So why the rant?

Because I'm on FUCKING ANNUAL LEAVE YOU BITCHES!!!!!

Fuck it, it's done, I'm going back to bed.

No matter how much documentation you write, and how well you comment the code, the truth is always the code itself.

This is a rant that doesn't end, it goes on and on my friends.

Some people, started reading it not knowing what it was, and they continued reading it forever just because.....

When you run the W11 update checker, and it doesn't tell you to buy a new laptop 🤨

Shit, now I need to work out how to stop it updating.

mind you, I always wanted to watch TikTok from my taskbar, win-win right?

Unpopular opinion:

Version control is shit, just rewrite it every time you change something and need to roll back.

Convince me otherwise!

does anyone know if theres a way (browser / api / mobile) lying around on devRant to retreive the list of users you have subscribed to?

it looks like someone has a half done project to finish 😢

you motherfucking cocksucking ass wipes.

How fucking hard is it for you JS cockheads to have STABLE fucking code?

So hear I am, thinking through a side project for data extraction and loading to automate some shitty part of my job, that could be used by the broader team... and decide to use electron.... I know it's a clusterfuck, but this wouldn't be a big application, so against my better judgement I run:

npm install electron
npm start
...
Error: unknown spawn

🤷‍♂️ you had 1 fucking job... 1 fucking lousy shit stain of a job, and you can't even have something run out of the god foresaken box without someone debugging your shit.

Now who has a WORKING alternative to electron?

Some people deserve to be shot.

There's a difference between a nice font and a practical font 😅

English is killing me here, so I'm going to crowd source a label here.

Best one wins a virtual hug 🤗

So, I need a customer facing word or words that doesn't sound like I gave up and just said "parent / related order"

Context being that a customer makes a purchase, but then comes back and purchases additional items in relation to the previous order on a seperate order.

I need a word!!

The end is here, someone pulled the Internet plug!!!!!

Fuck, stackoverflow is affected, my dev days are over!

Global 503 Whooooo

Good Job Fastly, making me work after hours.

https://status.fastly.com/

When you get to 12pm (lunch time) and you've already been in 7 back to back meetings and no longer know what you were going to actually attempt to do today.

Listen kids, don't become the senior dev, you'll never work an hour in your day again!

#iJustWantToFuckingCodeToday!

Big tech hates Apple for introducing Anti-Tracking features into IOS14.5,

https://gizmodo.com/how-to-block-ap...

But...... this isn't what I expected to fall through after that happened.

Google is introducing a similar feature into Android 12 😱

Going... going.... going.... gone!!

Stackoverflow is sold, now to sit back and await the profiteering that's bound to happen.

I quote:

Prosus has built a significant presence on the enterprise side with a focus on the future of workplace learning. Prosus will reach 90% of the Fortune 100 across its corporate learning companies including Stack Overflow, Skillsoft, Udemy and Codecademy.

Amazon: you're logged into 53 devices.

Me: ooooh Kay, since when do I have that many devices. let's sign out of em all and change the password for some piece of mind.

Spongebob: * a few hours past *

Spam email: someone in the US has logged into your account - click here to verify through some random URL that doesn't even contain "Amazon" in it 🥳

I suddenly have that feeling Amazon sells you're account setting changes and not just your personal details.

Every day skynet withers closer to existence.

Welcome to devRant.

I've been trying out no-code solutions for a while and I have found some awesome products out there that are super easy to setup and get running, but fuck me, I never thought I would find something so magnificent, so well planned and executed and fits into a tiny package.

No bloatware, no package dependencies, no nothing.

#whenProdBreaks

$data = ["some","predefined","data","set"];

// :/ this suddenly broke
//$response = $this->makeSoapRequest($data);

/**
Due to prod failure, Hot-swap soap for rest - don't ask how we took the same input, spun the shit out of the response and recreated the same data structure that the soap request made, but it works... and that's all you will ever have to know.
**/

$response = $this->makeRestRequest($data);

//process the response
$this->process($response);

If I wasn't a dev, I'd probably still be in sales somewhere.
Can't say I miss that life, customers are a pain in the ass you can't punch in the face. at-least with IT, if I smash my keyboard, it's not going to complain 😇
