Bought a new laptop. Decided to go with the MacBook Air 512GB version.

After 2 weeks of being unemployed, I finally got a job offer today and accepted! New title is Automation Specialist

Just passed my year anniversary working at this company just for them to fire me 3 days later

Hey does anyone know of a Firebase alternative for user authentication? I used parse back when it was around but idk of any others

Favorite IDE: Xcode

Text Editor: Atom

Reasons: Xcode is was I was “first” introduced to on my own.

Atom just seems really smooth and I enjoy using it.

So I’m thinking about going back to school in the next couple of years to get my degree in CompSci.

Unsure which route to follow tho.

Any suggestions?

I’m interested in learning Ruby on Rails. I’d like to know if I’m wasting my time with learning it?

Is it possible to build your own streaming site? I’m trying to build something so I can stream directly to my website instead of having to use mixer/twitch etc

My fiancé bought me a new laptop for my birthday. Not the greatest but it works. I put Mint 19.X (don’t know which version but latest) on it and I’m in love.

For the first time in a very long time. I’m actually motivated to start developing something.

Now just coming up with something to develop is what I need help with

Some of the best mentoring has actually been from the devRant community on how not to get burned out as a developer.

Take it section by section. Don’t spend a lot of time on one part. Work on it for a bit then move on to a new part and so on.

Thanks devRant Community

How do I deal with low motivation? Ask me when I find out because I haven’t been motivated to do anything in awhile.

Just redid my setup, first time in a year. What do y’all think?

Razer Ornata Chroma Keyboard, Razer DeathAddee Elite mouse.

Since I’ve started this new job (Restaurant Server) I haven’t had much time to code and it’s annoying.

Trying to start a mobile/business software company and can’t come up with a name which sucks.

Did anyone else see Bitcoin’s price drop from $18,000 USD to $14,000 usd in a matter of minutes?

Realizing my currently degree plan will not transfer to a 4 year university where I can get my bachelors, I have decided to stop taking all tech classes and focus on the classes that will transfer such as English, Calc, History and Government.

A quiz app/game with multiple subjects and difficulty levels

So I’m working on an iOS app and added some ‘lazy var’ turns out I didn’t add them underneath the class.

I spent the better half of 30 mins figuring out why it wouldn’t work.

!Rant but kind of a rant.

So I’m currently throwing around the idea of building a messaging application for iOS just to practice coding and what not. It seems like I do a lot of work on it like making sure the login screen works and other stuff but I get burned out pretty easily.

Any tips on how to not get burned out as easily when starting a new project?

Once again the department head fucks up my degree plan!

I'm getting my associates degree in Cyber Security. So we have to take networking courses and what not. So my institution recently became a Cisco certified teaching establishment or something along the lines of that.

The department head said that everyone who was enrolled in classes before the upcoming fall semester would have to take the new Cisco networking classes and not switch to the new degree plan. (We would take 3 Cisco classes instead of the new degree plan which is 5 or 6) so we planned and register for those classes.

Now he comes back and says we don't have to take those new classes. So it just fucks up the whole shit.

Switching to the new degree plan would add like 3 semesters to my total semester count and I'm supposed to graduate. August 2018

Fuck this new shit. Even tho I need Cisco.

I plan on taking The Cisco classes after I graduate with my associates degree while I'm going to a university for a dual degree in Software Engineering and Cyber Security

So my school fucked my degree plan by implementing a new curriculum.

Kind of a late rant. Well a really late rant about Parse. Why does parse have to shut down.

Worst part about Swift 3, is searching on StackOverflow for the answer to a question but it's written in Swift 1 and it's not compatible

I've worked with SWIFT for a good amount of time. I can't say that I'm a great developer in the language or any language for that matter but I think I should learn PYTHON first. What do you guys think?

!Rant about dev but a rant about one of my classes

Have this group project due on Monday, haven't gotten any audio recordings from the other members in the group can't actually start on it till I get the audio.

I hate economics.

I found this sort of funny.

When y'all graduated college how long did it take you to get a job as a developer?
