IDE battle--- what is everyone using?

My main languages are- C# - laravel - node/angular - HTML/ CSS. And use git / aws.

I have used the following- and like / hate them all. :) but I want to see what others are using and opinions on them.

Visual studio- bla...
Sublime 2 & 3
Atom
Coda(s) 2 - 2.5
Phpstorm
IntelliJ
TeamCity
Mono develop
Eclipse

Pretty much the only way I use windows!!!

Life when you didn't know about browsers developer tools

In high-school we had comp science classes which obviously hardly had anything to do with real stuff. In fact, our teacher was really clueless, so we decided to fool her. I made a tiny app that took a screenshot and set it as its background while being full screen and with hidden cursor. So it basically looked as if the computer was frozen. I also made it so pressing alt+f4 would set the background to a fake BSOD image. Next class we fired it up, the teacher tried everything to unfreeze the computer. She obviously failed, so we told her to try alt+f4. BSOD came up, she tried to fix it by hitting on the side of the PC. That didn't work so she unplugged it from the wall socket. We barely managed to not burst out in laugh, it was absolutely hilarious 😂

When you realize the only way to optimize your C++ code is to start writing asm routines...

so many frameworks for nodejs 😒😒😒😒

I'm the only frontend dev for a website with over 30M UU a week. It's constantly evolving. I'm scared that even when I have an accident and end up in coma, they'll still hook me to a laptop to code.

Words to live by

It finally comes! <enki/>'s invitation code for "the 5-minute daily workout to level up your dev skills" they said.

Trying to solve complex problems requiring a focussed mind is hard when it's hotter in the office than outside. And outside it hit 30℃ today.

Hmmmm..... Dark or light?

When I changed my attitude and stopped feeling like a righteous prick for fixing a few hard bugs. Fixing that one bug in my own software was the coolest and opened the most doors for me by far.

Programmers inside...

Why do people think that programmers are a pc repair man??? this is s**t on so many levels.

to late 😂

If you can't fix a bug, it's a feature.

twitter: good job, let's promote your profile, but you have to pay us.
devrant: awesome job being involved, here some stickers!

found a much better community

Job descriptions be like-
looking for an engineer between the age of 21-26 having 30 years of experience. 😂😂😂

When the new head of the Computer Science program at our university comes to our help desk and needs help getting a Kali Linux box to connect to wifi... we have lost all hope (back story this guy is only head because he was the only one to take the job. he is a total tard... it's scary)

I remember the first time our class coded a simple program in C. The objective was to input two random numbers, check which one is larger, and output it on the screen.

After class, I asked one of my classmates if he finds the test easy. My classmate replied that it was so easy he got bored. Then when I asked him to show me his code, this was what I saw:

int a, b;
printf("Enter smaller number: ");
scanf("%i", &a);
printf("Enter larger number: ");
scanf("%i", &b);
printf("Larger number: %i\n", b);

when you friends ask you about hacking someone's Facebook account.

We all know it's true

there was a job I had where we were only allowed to share code by taking screenshots and we made backups by printing off screenshots

You know you have hired a Python programmer do Java when .....

Do we want a dark theme for DevRant?

True that

Does anyone else find themselves dreaming solutions to their code?

Yep. That's obvious.

"You're charging so much for a work you did so little time. "

"It took me years to learn how do that in so little time"

Time for an actual rant:

During an internship I heard from my PM that my assignment for the week after was going to be working on a specific sql query to add some features and fix some bugs.

When talking with colleagues about that assignment later, they laughed and referred to the query as the "query of doom" (QoD), naive as I was back then, I thought that one of my colleagues had the QoD displayed on his screen because the query he was working on looked rather large (about 20 lines). They all laughed and told me I was in for a treat.

Starting my assignment the week after I was horrified to find out the QoD was huge, and by huge I mean, printing that specific query resulted in 8 A4 pages font size 10, front and back.
There were over a 100 union statements, no proper aliases, no documentation, not a single foreign key in the entire database, naming that makes no sense. And everything written manually by 10 different developers over the past years, who all fell of the face of the earth.

And this was only the query of doom. The entire product was a complete clusterfuck of forms with a queries directly behind action buttons, because we weren't allowed to make classes (yes you read that correctly. We couldn't make classes, unless we had a very compelling reason). Everything was created by over 30 different devs who only managed to stay just long enough to get some work done.

And all of this was the result of a PM who didn't believe in frameworks, ORM's, OOP, classes, ... because that made the software slow. To this day he still manages that product, but I'm glad that I quickly decided to move on.
