Legacy code written under the pressure oft a deadline by people not knowing the capabilities of the framework they use.

I am doomed...

In 2008 I took my first web development job for an agency that's no longer around. There was a Vice President there by appointment from our coke headed owner who really liked to micromanage and invade privacy with key loggers and screencap spyware to "manage" us. I found out because my machine would snag when moving the mouse cursor and sometimes I'd accidentally paste the screenshot into photoshop just before the software cleared the clipboard. Anyway, I wasn't supposed to know I was being monitored so I just unplugged my network cable and killed the service running the jank ass spyware. I'd delete it when no one was looking and wipe out the cache of screencaps it would compile every day. It was basically a troll vs troll stalemate for weeks. Finally they gave in and told everyone what was going on so we collectively decided to seek revenge. We bought a piezo buzzer about the size of a quarter that chirped like crickets at random intervals. We stuck it on the underside of his desk inside of the middle drawer area and let it go. They spent so much time and money trying to get rid of the cricket infestation. We let it go on for weeks. I ended up quitting before the gag was up, but damn was it funny to see him squirm in that office because of those crickets!

Map/Filter/Reduce

Any other lonely engine / graphics programmers swimming these Javascript infested waters?

Programming is hard -especially when the compiler disagrees with itself.

When a proof of concept goes into production because everyone else is like "care".

Client wants a pixel perfect site...
Comes to the office with a ruler and starts measuring on my screen...

My setup at college is probably better than mine at home

the problem most often are not the tools but the tools that operate them.

I've been on devRant for an hour since getting in bed.. this can't be a nightly ritual 😐

Am I the only one ?

Anyone else bored to death with linked in but don't have the guts to break up with her?

The whole javascript / java thing (which i suppose is an easy mistake to make to the uninitiated ).

The bright side is, it functions as a good litmus test.

Oh yeah 🙌🏼

When your indexing starts from -1.

When Envato Tuts+ posts an article with the title "What's the difference between Java and Javascript" and they are serious..

When your code is so unorganized that you're better off starting over. (My devRant Win32 App).

Me: Which option would you like?
Option 1: £x.xx
Option 2: £x.xx

Client: Can we have all the functionality of option 2 but at option 1 price!

"The API will be ready soon", but it comes in late and nothing like the agreed upon spec.

When a hiring manager wants 5+ years experience in Swift.

Swift release date = June 2, 2014

😂👍🖕

Pair programming a major refactoring, colleague tries to change _everything_ simultaneously. Spent hours fixing compiler errors, now it's not linking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When you ask an older dev a question, and instead of an answer, you get a history lesson. 😒

working on final year project with other "programmers" who have no interest in programming.

I have this fckin bug that only shows in production but only after I've done a certain thing 20+ times. I can't ignore that and I can't reproduce it locally. That's just fantastic -.-

the happy moment when you get turned down by agencies over the phone, when they "don't think you are what they are looking for" although you have 4 years commercial experience and are 23 years old, by an agent that fancies the term API and WordPress... fml

Well that's my evenings sorted for the rest of the week

Less stressful days from now on! Thanks guys! It took only 1 month and 5 days to them to travel from New York to Central Finland, but all worth it.

As a student studying CS, what is the best way to get your feet in the job market?

Why do they ask for a ball park price based on a non existent spec and pathetic meeting ramblings. FUCK OFF.

The real truth behind checking solution...
