Stop it. Shoo!

100% of the code defects from a recent code review are from code copied from elsewhere in the codebase.

Nothing like getting stuck on Jest tests after almost a year of only doing backend work.

Job searches suck. No, I don't have random bits of Java trivia memorized with perfect recall for your shitty little quiz.

Frustration is starting a very large data object with multiple child objects while a project wide refactor is underway changing the MVC architecture and introducing serialization.

Gone in an instant was the shimmering gleem of hope that I'd get to work on modernization of our current code base. Back to last fucking century I guess.

Getting a duplicate record error in MySQL from a unique key constraint. Trying to decide if I should fix the Java code that possibly sending a duplicate save || drop the unique constraint from the table? 😂😂😂

Stupid Zkoss won't let me assign a UI component more than one parent. Instead of getting to use preexisting components I get to make copy/paste carbon copies. Shot my plans for code resusability to hell and back.

Not sure if it's a rant but...

Less than a year as a professional software engineer and I'm at a small shop, like less than 10 of us.

I'm getting an overwhelming urge to break down these large methods we use into smaller more reasoned out methods we can just call.

Is this me being a n00b and trying to do things "right" or am I just trying to follow some best practices that have been overlooked?

In my pursuit to land a fucking job (now a junior software engineer) I pretty much abandoned​ web dev for getting my head wrapped around Java as best as possible.

Now that I'm about 6 months in at the gig I'm thinking about looking to take on clients for web, mobile development in my spare time.

So far I've been trying to catch up on React and Node, anyone else more well versed in web stuff have suggestions of topics/material?

So React is pretty cool. Anyone have any gotchas they ran into with their first React or React Native project?

The choice is pretty clear...

From SMBC comics

Can't remember where I found this. Was it here? Either way I'm posting it again 😂

Intuit documentation for using oauth 1.0 is pretty lackluster. It's very focused on making apps for their app store, not integrating with your own web app.

Been trudging through it and slowly making some progress now. I still love my fucking job but I'm ready to work on something else 😂

Dear imposter syndrome. Please go the fuck away.

Fuck today is just one of those fucking days. I'm THE junior and I'm just hitting a fucking wall with my task.

It's like I have Legos, I know how to build basic shapes and cars and planes, but I can't make the connection in my head to build more advanced things like a space shuttle.

Seriously anyone have any recent feedback on working g with QuickBooks online???

!Rant

Curious about the feedback I'll get from everyone here.

We are looking for a email replacement like slack that may also have a wiki component. So far Quip is at the top I think.

Also the idea of cross platform development is being floated and I've been looking at Xamarin and QT.

Does anybody work with these or similar solutions?

I've been tasked with adding QuickBooks online to a cloud solution we have. Being the newest dev here I did what any self respecting dev would do. Spent all day on stack overflow and Google 😂

Monday morning brain funk while looking at a support case right now.

Apparently there is a listbox (zkoss) that lets you select users via check box to send emails/alerts whatever.

If you select 3 users it counts the number correctly, but it doesn't iterate through and find the 3 actually selected 😂

Instead it just reads the number selected and iterates through that many times from 0 🤔

Happy Monday 😂😂😂

Being by far the most junior dev on a small team is tough. On top of no real pro experience having to learn an unfamiliar framework and the overall architecture/design.

Worst part of being a (new) dev, and by new I mean first dev job and I'm a month in, is keeping commit messages from being novels

6 hours of work before I actually wrote a line of code today. Reverse engineering stuff is interesting but not always fun

Before I got my dev job I had more time to be on devRant.

3 devs, one and myself are new hires. I started a week after the other new guy and my 3rd week of training is next week.

The other devices has been fixing what the Swift 3 update broke. We realized next update we will be fixing it. Time to learn Swift!

ColdFusion and ZKOSS framework documentation has been my reading for this first week at the new job.

The nervousness and anxiety is starting to settle down but won't be gone for a while I think. I'm excited and eager to start actually working on our product to both prove my worth (after being selected over 40 or so other applicants) and calm the hell down about my competence.

Day 2 at the new gig, my first developer position. Reading thru ColdFusion documentation as fast as possible.

It still feels surreal that I was able to land this awesome job without a true CS degree.

Seen on the nixCraft bookface page.

well I start my first dev job in a week and a half. after telling my family I was resigning from my helpdesk support gig, they asked about the pay and didn't understand why the dev job payed more.

I tried to explain it and I think about half of them got it but the older half still just associate it as "computer stuff"

Officially resigned this morning from my helpdesk position.

in two weeks I officially begin my career as a junior dev. I'm on cloud 9 and yet still don't believe it.
