I always thought the gradle icon in Android Studio was a mouse with its tail. Yesterday one of my colleagues told me that it was an elephant. Never realized it until now 😐

The staircase at my work place has odd number of steps. I feel so unsatisfied when I take 2 steps at a time😞

My first hackathon when I was in my university. I never used to work on any side projects apart from assignments and academic projects. I was so shocked when I saw that people were so dedicated in developing a working product in a weekend sacrificing sleep and food. I got so depressed that I wasn't doing anything and people around me were doing so much!!!!! That's when I was motivated to learn more, do more, work more. After this, I never missed a single hackathon while I was studying :) I'm so much better at what I do now because of hackathons.

Took a big step today 😬

Deleted my Lastpass account. Moved to self hosted BitWarden.

I'm so used to rss right now, I figured I would create a rss feed for top feeds from devrant.

Here's the unofficial devrant rss feed (based off Skayo's unofficial devRant api):

https://devrantrss.herokuapp.com/ge...

Just add this link to your rss reader (I'm using feedly) and it should be recognized instantly. Each feed will have the name of the ranter, rant, image, tags and user profile. I'm running this in free tier of Heroku. Feel free to use it.

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/Ullas-Aithal/...

It's a Node.JS script. There's a herokuBuild branch which it's heroku ready.

What do you guys think? Any comments, suggestions?

Found this in "Origin" book by Dan Brown. I love it when tech jokes surface in novels.

On the bright side, with all these privacy update emails, it has given me a chance to unsubscribe from all the shitty newsletters that I subscribed loooong back and to delete unwanted spam accounts that I don't use anymore.

Thanks GDPR!

Last week my university decided to give away old hardware to students (CPUs, displays, keyboard, mouse, speakers, printers etc.). My roommate got me this beast. I was so excited and decided to boot it up only see to GRUB error 22 :( I think the hard drives were wiped before handing it out.
I've never set up a server before and I've been trying to boot up an Ubuntu server via USB drive but it's not detecting the OS installation files. I've been searching all around to make this work but it's not fucking working. I don't have any other cables or CD drive to try something else. I want to make this work. I have exams next week and I can't stop thinking about this. Godammit

Apple asked it's employees not to leak information in a memo. Guess what? The memo got leaked. Lol

Jeez, I'll buy the tickets. Stop bugging me so much!

Last week I sent a pic of Nestle Crunch chocolate to my friend in Whatsapp. Today he told me that he got an ad in Instagram for Nestle Crunch!! Holy crap!
We were trying to figure out how did it happen because we never discussed about the chocolate other than that image. Then I realized that Whatsapp and Instagram was owned by the same fucking company - Facebook!!!

I've stopped using Facebook, Instagram for a very long time and I have ad blockers on every electronic device I touch. So I never understood the gravity of people losing shit over privacy, until today. This indeed is creepy and it hit me real hard. I'm now reading all rants with "privacy" tags and methods to harden my devices to repel from those buggers.

Goddamit! Why does hitting Ctrl+Y in android studio is set to delete a line by default? Shouldn't it be redo? Who the fuck designed it? Thank God I can reassign keyboard shortcuts in android studio.

After participating in so many hackathons, I finally won. Now I know how it feels and it's awesome. 😀

Don't these recruiters check how it looks before posting it?

Just a normal day at Google...

My friend was applying for jobs when he came across this listing. I really hope it's a typo...

When I was in 2nd grade in my school and it was a mandatory course for all the students.
I'm glad it was mandatory.

I just learned that you can use Android Device Monitor in Android Studio to take screenshots.
Until today I was using adb screencap -p /sdcard/filename, totally forgetting the filename, go through all the commands and see what fucking file name I used and do an adb pull. It was a lot of fucking work.

Now you can code in the dark with these glowing rubber ducks 😄 😄 Foud this gem in Wish app

Look what I achieved today in Windows 7. Felt good. Today is a good day....

When I see other students projects at hackathons

Professor to the whole class: Apache tomcat runs on port 80 which is the same port used by skype
Me: (change the port of tomcat to something else, obviously)
Professor: Kill Skype
Me: 😐😐

Probably the only love I'm gonna get in my life 😅

Just saw a thread about Global Reddit Meetup Day. Do we have one in devrant? If not, is it possible to have one? I know the user base is not comparable with reddit, but it would be fun meeting other local developers who rant too 😛

!rant

Symantec anti virus flagged Windows Defender Definition as untrustworthy lol

Introduce lot of temporary variables and print statements while coding and won't remove it later...🤐
