My client just asked me to copy (his words were I want it to look exactly like) the Apple and Weather Channel apps for iPhone. Ummm... nope. Not getting that lawsuit

When you’ve been stuck on the same issue with your code for 4 days 😔

I swear my ISP has already done away with net neutrality. My connection is always going out whenever I need to look something up for work.

Some of the Devs at ESPN have a sense of humor lol 😂

Anyone else feel guilty not coding for a few hours? Just me? Oh okay 😔

When a prospective client says they want a “simple” app like Uber in 1-2 weeks...

My family thinks I can hack into things and be their on call tech support

I really wish I had started using version control sooner. 76 contributions on my GitHub this year, 52 of them are from this month 🙈

When you go back and look at the code from the first app you ever wrote...

I’m doing this guys website for FREE. As a favor to my mom. This is the shit I have to deal with as thanks.

He gave me some images he wanted on his new site I’m developing on Tuesday. Woke up to this email.

I know pretty much everyone here understands the importance of net neutrality, but here’s a nice chart you can share with all your non tech friends explaining the importance of it in terms they understand

When the client blames a css issue for a decrease in sales.

No you idiot. A missing slider that I removed because it was breaking your site is not causing your sales to drop 30%

Got a new iPhone X. Had to set up as a new phone because my old one had beta software on it and wouldn’t let me restore from backup (yes, I know I could download the new iOS beta on the X then reset and store from backup but I was in a hurry) but in doing so it gave me the chance to rearrange my home screen and devRant made it on the first page!

New clothes came in yesterday 😍

How I feel today

When the client sends you a template they want to use and half of the css file looks like this...

Not learning version control sooner

Me today

Stuck between whether I should continue to try to start my own company or go work for a company and have steady income

Are you fucking serious right now?!

I hate Upwork so much

Me: You provided the wrong credentials for AWS. That’s why it won’t work. Please provide updated ones using document I emailed you last month.

Client: I forgot how to do that. Will you be free tonight after 9pm?

Me:.....

Yes. This really just happened. No. I am not doing it unless they pay hourly.

Not starting sooner. I’m 28 and started last year. I wish I had started 6 years ago at least...

Monday Morning...

Open up new client issue ticket...

“I want my site to appear on the first page of Google. I know only about 10% of our sales come from our site, but it’s importent that we appear professional.”

Well, start by proofing your ticket and the other 500 typos I found in the content you sent me, sir.

Applies to dev work too..

Client: Can you build a Snapchat clone but better?

Me: I’m going to say probably not logical given the resources they have and what we have, but for curiosity, what kind of budget do you have?

Client: $2500.

Me: Get out.

When your client insists on uploading everything to the App Store themselves because they don’t want to give you access to their developer account. So they go BUY a BRAND NEW MacBook Pro just for xcode because they can’t figure out provisioning files. Project has been ready for submission to the App Store for over a month...
