Reading my old rants after about a year.
I want to go back in time and punch myself in the face.

I want to setup a PC for Android development; need a powerful machine which can handle large project builds and chrome tabs easily. Also, I have no clue how to start or what components to get.
Anyone who can help me with this?

What!?

Moved to a totally new city to start a new job, thought it'll be amazing as the company is good. Came and saw a bunch of motherfuking smokers who smoke at the main gate of the office, the HR does not respond to my queries, doesn't have time to interact with a new recruit, and I have still got no company mail or email id. And oh, I have the entire GitHub access and the android code cloned on MY PERSONAL COMPUTER, the rights to which were given by the CTO himself.
Guess what, time to say bye to this shit. I'm moving back.

It's 2017. This person used an AsyncTask to get results from an API. During a hiring task. He has over 2.5 years of experience.

Help needed.
I got a job offer from a good company and the pay is good. Plus, a major stake of the company was bought by a tech giant few days back and I think it's gonna be a great head-start for my career. The problem is the location is in Mumbai, India, and I really doubt I can live there on my own. I don't personally like the place (though I might have some misconception about it). What should I do? Join and pray everything goes alright or skip and wait for the next adventure?

Got a good paying and high learning job. In Mumbai. I'm from new Delhi. Any fellow devs who can help me find out a good living place around lower Parel area?

RIP all the code I'll be refactoring 🙏😂

You know you're an adult when 'Anything is possible' sounds scary but not motivational.

Android O. Curse for dark theme guys 😢. Not to mention half the apps on my phone crash right now.
P.S. I hate these new backward compatible emojis too.

It sucks so much when you want to learn and expand your skill set but can't because you cannot find any good resources.
I've been trying to get started with MVP and RxJava for android and have got nowhere yet because of unavailability of good starting codes/tutorials.
FML.

Help needed.
Anyone who has worked with OpenBazaar REST APIs. I cannot seem to get any response from the endpoints even though I think I've set the server correct. Any sort of help would be highly appreciated.

P.S. (Rant) the docs and the "helpful slack community" are total shit.

MindFucked by how to get started with Blockchain/IPFS for storing contracts. Any leads?

S3 down. People also over the world kissing their shit

People complaining about people pushing to master branch directly: can't you actually protect master from force pushes and have each PR reviewed? Why is that so difficult to understand?

It was compulsory to study logo at the school, class 4. Was around 10 at that time. Love what I could make the turtle do with commands. FF 2 years, learnt HTML in school. Loved how some tags made a webpage. Didn't code for next 7 years(idiotic decision?). Started with Java and Android development and fell in love again. Didn't let it go this time 😀

Help needed.
My Internet service provider shut GitHub and now it's inaccessible. I can see all Repo's and clone them via VPN but can't push data. Any help regarding how to push data through a VPN or other way would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Have to create a social network type app for a project. Anyone ever used firebase for the purpose?
Any sort of help in defining the DB schema would help :D

Want to learn shell scripting. Any starter ideas?

Learning new things and technologies with each passing week :D

So after the original idea getting scraped during a hackathon this week, we created a slack bot to fetch most relevant answers from StackOverflow using user's input. All the user had to do was input few words and the bot handled all typos, links etc and returned the link as well as the most upvoted or the accepted amswer after scraping it from the website.
The average time to find an answer was around 2 seconds, and we also told that we're planning to use flask to deploy a web application for the same.
After the presentation, one of the judge-guys called me and told me that "It isn't good enough, will not be used widely" and "Its similar to Quora".
Never ever have I wanted to punch a son of a bitch in the balls ever.
