Indians may get this 😅

:P How to save people

In case you didnt know...

That disappointing moment when you realize that what you thought was a mobile app is just a web view

So I need to create a nice new web app. Let's look at some cool JS frameworks that I can work with.

*5 mins later* Hm, Angular sounds good, is there any good competitor?

*5 mins later* Wow, React sounds awesome as well. Let me learn it.

Google search result:

"Planning to use react? Check out Vue JS first"

*5 mins later* Ok so vue seems faster than React and much easier to learn. Let me see if Vue is the final choice.

Google search result:

"Angular VS Knockout VS Ember VS React VS Mithril VS Mercury VS Ractive VS Vue VS Riot"

Nope, fuck it

One of my worst meetings, as the sheer rage was unbelievable.

Backstory:
Architect: "Stop duplicating code", "stop copy pasting code", "We need to reuse code more", "We need to look at a new pattern for unit tests" etc.

Meeting:
Architect: What did you want to talk about?

Me: I built a really simple lightweight library to solve a lot of our problems. Its built to make unit testing our code much easier, devs only need to change a small bit of how they work.

Architect: I like the pattern a lot, looks great ... but why a library? can we not just copy the code from project to project?

... do you have a twin or something?

Web dev working in a shell:

And lemme copy that, ctrl-c.
Process stopped.
F**k!

You vs the guy she told you not to worry about.

I absolutely hate the way we are taught programming in Indian colleges.

FML #1: I'm pursuing a UG CS course, and this semester, I only had one subject of Computers, that too only 1 credit. The rest with all electronics.

FML #2: In that 1 credit course, we had to make a C++ project which had "data handling". No one cares if you build something cool or not, just that a project should have "extensive use" of data handling.

FML #3: Source code had to be >= 1000 lines. This is the only place where ADDING MORE LINES OF CODES THAN REDUCING IT is appreciated. Had to stuff my code with all kinds of comments and violating the basic principle of DRY.

So, yeah, we're fucked big time. 😥

Have I just reached the end of devRant and seen all the rants?😮
Ok... enough devRant for today.

When you press the wrong button😅😂

Got my stickers!! Thanks from Italy

Haters gonna say it's photoshop

does this mean I am officially a millionaire?

A programmer puts two glasses on his bedside table before going to sleep. A full one, in case he gets thirsty, and an empty one, in case he doesn't.

When I double tap a post I'm always writing ++ in my head.

Worst security feature?

The complete lack of any.

You wouldn't believe how common that is..

- Implemented oauth1 - no body hashing
- URL contains credentials in plain text
- Used Azure API management feature as a proxy of the our API, however the documentation was on the our API, thus exposing the API URL with no management to developers.
- easy resource DDoSing because each trial user got a DB, the registration process did not have bot checks. You could literally freeze the db instance by spamming registration requests.

Password hashing using md5, it is 2016!! I have seen a sys admin update a user password using a MySQL query

Staring at code all weekend only to find on Monday an async method not being awaited

People asking to build XYZ for their startup for free.

Here's a funny joke

A man walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender says "okay but only if you tell me a meta joke". So the man says a man walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender says "okay but only if you tell me a meta joke". So the man says  man walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender gives him a beer. The bartender gives him a beer. The bartender gives him a beer.

Laughed at this :wq, showed to gf, she can't understand why it's so funny ;)

!rant

Thanks so much for the stickers!

Best part of being a dev? Being paid to fix problems in the code you created yourself.

Ran a code inspection on a template project for exercise from my university

Best part about being a dev...

Satisfaction that people are using you inventions/products to better their lives.
I know it sounds cliché, but software dev is a lot like art.
Guessing, Da Vinci must have felt the same way in the Renaissance.

What language do you hate the most and why is it Java?

That moment when you realise that stack overflow can't help you...

I think this should happen when people get over 9000++
