When I was younger I just dove into all of my programming projects headfirst, no planning whatsoever. Sure, I learned a ton, but going back some of the things I did make me physically cringe.

Even the very first time that I planned out a project's base code with pen and paper, I was blown away at how well things went. Not flawlessly, but with a fraction of the time, errors, and aggravation that normally comes from starting a project.

@SSDD Not pronouncing an acronym as you would it's components is fucking mental.

@ewpratten That's how I did it and I always amaze myself with the things I learn. Definitely a fitting analogy though!

Although now I'm running literally all of my webapps on it, which can sometimes be... frustrating. Plex was interesting.

Why would you need Win10, 2TB of HDDs or 2 monitors? I can understand the rest but why do you need those?

@fabioth Yeah, I've used it plenty. But IntelliJ isn't the problem there, Gradle is.

Gradle is plenty buggy/slow by itself.

@fabioth Nothing that has ever significantly effected me. Nothing significant that I've really ever noticed, actually...?

IntelliJ a thousand times over.

IntelliJ is the best.

Sounds like the wrong guy has access to root/wheel :P

I've found that even when IDEs have Git integration (because tons of them do), I still use the CLI instead for a little more control over the process. Not always, but usually.

Also even if you don't use the CLI, and you use the NetBeans integration of Git instead, it's still good to know Git. Being part of the programming world, it's just something you need to understand.

I personally don't use NetBeans, but I'm guessing that they don't provide more advanced Git features like stash. Just FYI!

neh

Uhm, not really, no. devRant is relatively more serious than the communities you have in mind.

Save for @Letmecode 's tags. Those are memes now.

Is the cringeworthy spelling/grammar part of the meme?

@Codex404 that's true, I like my css to actually look like css in *some* respect

Sass is the basst

Yeah, it should be uppercase'd but I can't say that I physically cringe when I see it otherwise.

Nor does my mind immediately go to clit... 😐

@RiderExMachina haha I wouldn't call the case a component, but yes

@nandavelugoti
> "never"

@codepoet what exactly had 21 screws in it? Overall, maybe, but no individual component had more than 4 screws.

Most of these things only have 1-2 screws holding them in, RAM usually snaps in...?

This is basically deconstructed Legos

@mhudson I hate touch screens. Constantly have greasy finger smudges all over my screen... yuck

Work for someone that will engage you the way you want to be engaged.

@mr-crazyhacker for some reason I'm more ok with that than elsif
