I was excited about a Hackathon... got there and the theme was REGEX! Just kill me already!

I'm pretty sure Shakespeare didn't say that.

Spending the night in the hospital wish me luck

When you are supposed to be taking notes for history, but programming is your meaning of life ❤

Off to Dublin for the weekend. Seeing Above & Beyond on Sunday! Couldn't be happier

Guys I just wanted to thank you for giving me motivation! I suffer from chronical depression and it's really hard for me to start something and even harder to continue. But by reading your posts I get joy and motivation! #thankyou #motivation #devRantsaveslifes

When you get back home from your job and you do exactly the same things because you love it

Everytime dfox upvotes one of my rants I feel like a fangirl inside. Think of a big hairy guy reacting like a fangirl.. disturbing isn't it ? 😂

True...

Just spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why a function wasn't working when I realized I hadn't called it. This is what happens when I forget my coffee.

Comments for the 'drill a headphone jack in your iPhone 7' video...

My son, who is graduating soon with degrees in game programming and economics, found this. Very true.

When I started studying CS, my dad was very upset. He told me he couldn't undersand why was I studying that if the only thing I could do afterwards was to open a computer repair shop and charge people to install antivirus and word. He's not saying shit now when I earn more than he has ever had and lend him money knowing he cannot repay me.

If Java had true garbage collector it would delete itself.

I am a long time lurker on stackoverflow. There was a time I was stuck on an obscure error for so long but finally light shone when I found an answer to that problem on stackoverflow.

Overjoyed, all I wanted is to leave an upvote for the answer; before I realised that you need a +15 reputation before you can do (I know I am late in this game)

So I worked my way to that 15 and it was a tedious one. Stackoverlords deleting my answer, voting no to my edit and reverting another over petty reasons

I fought back by flagging my deleted answer with my reasons and alas the community backed me up by upvoting my answer (which was revived),the original answer poster approved my edit and @me a thank you comment. I was elated

And it is today, I got my +15. That I could finally pay back and upvote the answer from my benefactor

On Saturday's I volunteer at this place where I teach/tutor kids how to program. I was sitting down with this kid and helping him when I found this pleasant surprise hidden in his code-

[go to my other rant for pt.2]

Stare at the screen blankly, regretting your life choice to become a dev, cry, start researching mcdonalds job ads. Then end up spending 3 hours on devRant falling in love with programming again and then realising you have just wasted 3+ hours on a left out curly bracket...

drew this on the office whiteboard. hopefully people notice...

Writing some algorithm:
me: *codes for half an hour*
"hmm... isn't working... wait wtf this isn't right..."
me: *codes for an hour again*
"still not working hmmm... wait what no this isn't supposed to work..."
me: *codes for a few hours*
"still not working God damnit.... it's supposed to work now..."
me after another few hours: MOTHERFUCKER CAN YOU START FCKING WORKING FUUUUUUUUUUU

When hesitating on the difference between blocking and non-blocking, I just consider the example of a typical conversation with a customer.

Really nice message. I feel so motivated.

stop working and take a look at the code the next day

Always satisfying when clients say our API doesn't work and it's shit, only to find out their firewall prevented external calls.

When you are trying to get through "Get started" section of a new framework/lib but get so many ideas that suddenly you find yourself creating 5 applications at a time without any idea what the fuck are you doing.

Thank god it's Friday, y'all know what what means; git push -f

Fuck Chuck Norris and all he can do
