I automatically assume every brown fave avatar here belonging to indian users. Am I racist?

How to swap two variables’ values without a temporary variable. I failed :/.

I think a lot of “confession of having impostor syndrome” on devrant is false humility. You really are an impostor, it became sth like i am perfectionist lies in interviews. Discuss(or flame at me, whatever).

Unlike rest of you average plebs, I am code ninja.(who the fuck prepares these adds).

Yet another?

Cringe, from my linkedin feed.

Am I too dumb if I do not understand good-first-issues on open source projects? I mean, I completed C++ Primer book. Tried to find a real world challenges to use my knowledge.

I look at those issues but I really can understand em, when they belong to a project with tens of modules etc. Maybe good-first-issue is for people who spends 20 hours just to understand project, before writing a single line of code.

Is there a way to stop all these code formatting arguments ince for all? For example, a github /ide plugin reformats your code to your preference when you work on/review but in the end, it is stored in some specific format.

Where should starting brackets be positioned if/else and function definition in C? Same line or the next line. Have not seen pure cosmetic bullshit like this.

All those code-ish new year celebrations in this community are cringy. This is why women dont find you attractive.

Vaad the fuck is this? Another framework...

What would you do if you had a safe way to slack whole day in job?

I am working in a giant company, it is easy to camouflage here. I am doing whenever a job is given but those tasks are not developing me. So I execute those tasks slowly. Sometjmes, a good quality tasks are given , I execute them really fine but those are scarce.

I used to study a lot of things during the day, like cpp, python, IoT but i feel like burnt out, just waiting for the end of the day. How can I break out of this situation. I know, for a better job, I must be a better sw engineer but I am wasting my free time(during my work hours) recently and my feeling of guilt is increasing.

How do you pick up yourselves in such mkments?

JavaScript is not real code! Shots fired!

I hate people who pushes/pulls/leans on my chair while asking me a question.

Is this an honest app? Promising too much?

What is the shortest bath algorithm

Machine learning, AI, deep learning. Why are all these a magnet for snake oil salesmen?

My deepest regret is believing lies about OOP, during my education.
1. It is the best way to model a software, easier to think about objects and relationships: no it is not.
2. It increases reusability: I have seen people invwnting base classes to justify.

Are there any lies you regret believing that you believed during your education?

This is my first "Fuck you Windows" post. I just got a warning from GitHub that blocks me from using it;

"You must update your password to continue using GitHub.com"

Who the fuck are you? I am risking to be hacked. Why do you care, you just warn me and move on. How dare you block me and force me to use better password.

DevRant is not “9GAG for developers”. Stop putting your shitty jokes into rant section. There is a “joke” section to quarantine you people.

Tired of seeing “Trust me i am engineer” facebook group types jokes...

I am sick of Greta Thunberg fad. No this is not political but a social rant. I hate any ideology hiding behind children.

How can I turn off “new comments on a rant you posted” notification. I mean in app notification like this;

* Got an epileptic seizure
* fell down
* broke my left humerus top to 3 pieces
* bone pieces will be held together with titanium plates/screws tomorrow with surgery
* need some good wishes although I am hardcore materialist
* thanks in advance.

Should not we update the joke about “my FBI agent” to “Google”? Serious question about tech surveillance.

Web developers(or anyone uses Javascript one way or another? Why are you the way that you are?

Why the fuck someone uses ‘2’ instead of “to” in the C code, for naming. What are you, a child?. I have even seen “cache12store” meaning cache 1 to store...

When refactoring and reusing code, is it even ethical to change author?
I am on a project of creating reusable library from another project. Original code is perfectly written, easy to understand. I will just prune the code and fix minor bugs.

I have seen colleagues replacing the original author field in the same scenario with their names, feels wrong. Can I add non-standard maintainer field in doxygen format?

Are vi/vim users vegans of dev community? Can we also add emacs users to the list? Bunch of degenerates if you ask me... 🤗

How much salary should I ask for in Germany?

Specifically near Frankfurt, in aerospace sector. I have seen 58k gross yearly but seems to be a bit low to my liking. I am expecting 40/45% tax rate but not sure about that too.

What the fuck is a framework? I have never hated a term this much, overused piece of shit word.
