JS is too hard for your back-end

Thank you JS for challenging our lives

I went to shop to take a break from JavaScript project...

JS is everywhere

Am I the only one that doesn't like Java? I mean I don't hate it or say it's bad. It's pretty clear that it has been probably the most influential language after C. I just don't like how typed and verbose it is, also I feel old just using it or something based on it (like Jenkins)

I was helping my girlfriend's sister on her programming homework yesterday. But the thing is that she missed a lot of classes to be with her boyfriend. So now she has a reasonably advanced task, without knowing the basics.

Her assignment was to open a file, extract it's text, and count how many times an user-given word appeared on it. So here's how it went:

- so you use the input function to ask the user to type the word.
- ok, but where do I type the word?
- in that black screen, on the bottom of visual code
~ changes name of the variable that receives the input()~
-like that?
- no, that is just the variable name. You should type in that black screen AT THE BOTTOM OF VISUAL CODE
- oh, ok.
~ changes name of .py file ~

Real reason behind the "Traveling Salesman Problem" :-/

When you realize that you're googling an error message you've implemented yourself

Well, you wanted to chat...

i'm getting headaches right now...

Got me thinking..

Alexa (in another room): ***ALARM***
Me: Hey Google, broadcast "Alexa, stop"
Alexa: ***stops***
Me:

😣😣😐😐😣

i need to up my devRant game so i can put this fucking bird on my shoulder. it'll be my CROWning achievement.

Sorry, I just had to post this cable porn I found posted in some random subreddit.

Just look at those curves

If you don’t have a CS degree... this question isn’t for you to answer with “I don’t have a degree but...”

I did software engineering but it was total waste of 4 years for learning. It was good for networking and exploring the shit going on in tech world but learning is always self work. You have to learn most of things by self i.e self-taught. The second main thing is practice every single day, there is no fucking shortcut.. I repeat no.

Degree itself? Marginally useful. Learned most of what I know from youtube/CTFs/tinkering. Most kids graduating with me don't know or care what a rest service is, AWS. What's that?, Etc.

Is what you make out of it honestly.

Now the environment it provided and doors immediately opened by people I met/professors: invaluable. Guaranteed internships and jobs.

Roommate: "Hey, man, uh, I know you use computers a lot or something; do you know off the top of your head how to use the touch screen on my computer?"

Me: "Uh, your laptop doesn't have a touch screen."

Roommate: "Yeah, but I thought you might know how to use it as a touchscreen."

Me: "...Your laptop does not have a touch screen."

I swear, this is the dumbest man I have ever come into contact with.

That'd be fine if this was a one-off type of thing, but he seriously has approx. 209.8 brain cells in total.

Once, with no argumentative basis, he told me that, if Mickey Mouse got enough votes as a write-in candidate, he could win the Presidency of the United States. I showed him Article II of our Constitution, and he said "why does that even matter here?"

Three more months, school'll be done, and I never have to see him again.

Nice learning experience from Spotify. If a survey response might contain negative feedback, just don't allow it to submit.

Clever Spotify ;)

working with non programmers - need to make a gigantic excel worksheet for everything that python could do in a dozen lines or two... 😑

I don't remember where did I found this, but there you go.

Imma leave this here

Haha. Users will always be users 😂

Just got this portrait monitor.
Gotta say, I love all that real estate.

How my apartment looks every time I start some new hardware project 😂

Happy New Year, everyone :')

Our AWS Consultant: Do you have the AWS CLI installed?
Me: Brings up the Linux subsystem in Win 10. sudo apt install awscli.
Me thirty seconds later: Yes.

Codacy is cool!
It gives my code a grade. So it's like school and university, but much easier since I can just disable all the warnings and get an A.

HR: Sorry, we're a family here but we have to let you go.

Engineer: Okay.

The End.
