Why is it such a hassle to get Android Studio to work? Spending several hours filled with with installs, reinstalls, downloads, googling, troubleshooting, more failures, suicidal thoughts, env variable tinkering, crashes, total apathy - before I can finally start writing some fucking code is fucked up.

Thanks for the stickers :)
(yes I know one of my other sticker says spa sex instead of SpaceX and I'm not even mad)

Bashing our fellow developers for using <insert tech> is not cool. This especially became overboard with PHP. And yes I've been guilty of this, despite using PHP before for so long as well.

Remember not to deploy today

Today I spent ten minutes because I didn't see the difference between 'cmp' and 'cpm'

Do I have a slight case of dyslexia? :O

It must be so difficult to be a dyslexic programmer :O

The urge to smack my gear when internet latency is erratic is a huge urge.

My current rant: Recursive promise chains in JS. That's all.

You know what really grinds my gears?

When a post is written in a trash language I don't understand.

oh wait. This is not in Danish, forget what I said

The gratifying feeling when you save your team's ass with a hotfix, minutes before the stakeholder demo

I've pulled the third all-nighter in a row because of a ridiculous bug in legacy spaghetti..

I finally kicked its ass so I can now emerge from my cave, feeling like both a lifeless zombie and someone who got reanimated after half a week.

You all helped me through this tough time, love you all devRant ♥

Estimate was crap
I've told them it won't suffice
Some clients are just dumb

Idk about you but when I get half a dozen opvotes from a single account and it seems to be a female, I fall in love a little bit.

Now, if I could just spare time for an actual relationship...

It's easier to rant when you down some goddamn beer. Try it!

devRant's gamification really does work! I find myself coming back at least twice a day :O

How often do you check in here?

Working with side projects taught me how valuable teamwork is

Conference tickets are overpriced

true or false?

Do you attend any without being sponsored?

I started drinking coffee when I started as a junior dev.

I loved its boost, but after a while being on coffee was exactly how I felt before as normal. I incrementally upped the dosage, while my resistance creeped up too. I reached a moment when I drank a liter daily, so I witched to yerba maté instead, which resulted in more potent brews. Then I got used to its strength too plus it tasted like horseshit. I switched to caffeine tablets, takingg more and more. Soon after I reached a level which was described medically as the top one should be allowed to take.
I no longer felt any boost. In between caffeinated moments of normalty, I felt like a brain-dead zombie. When I was caffeinated, I was jittery, my shoulder and eyebrow was glitching, my stomach was flexing like before taking a huge exam.
After some miserable time like that, I quit caffeine entirely. I was fatigued, dull and my mind was hazy for te next 1-2 weeks.

I then finally, became gradually normal again.
I drink tea and coffee only socially, perhaps a few times in a month, and never after too much later than noon.

Now I can't wear my "Programmer. Converts coffee into code" shirt anymore. Apart from that, I'm much better off :)

What's your coffee story?

When you spend an entire day debugging the client side halfway losing your mind, then you realize the 3rd party service API is to blame.

UUUggh!

I was hopelessly lost in a problem when I found an Issue on Github describing the exact same problem.
Unfortunately, the message board it didn't quite help me solving the problem.
Some time later I managed to solve the problem, and remembering the Github issue, I wanted to post an actually helpful message.

Oh but wait. The issue was fucking closed.
