I started studying JUnit and Mockito and I really don't understand. All the docs and the tutorials around are like "if call this method, then return this object. If the object returned is the one that I expected then test passed". But isn't it obvious that the returned object is the one that I expected? I fucking told it to return that object

- Use docker so it works on any machine
- The server only starts on Linux

How the heck is that possible

How did Postman go from being one of the most loved developer tools to one of the worst crap I've ever used?

I often read rants, and I can see how everyone gives for granted that we have to overwork, work until night, work on weekend, work when the boss asks us, read the email, work until you fixed that bug, and so on. I mean, I don't see anyone ranting about this, I just see that this became the background of other rants, something that's so normal and we are so accustomed that we don't even consider it a problem anymore. I was wondering, is it just me that gives value to his own free time? That would rather read a book, watch tv or stay with friends? Or at least being able to tell a friend "we'll meet for dinner" without the fear of a problem blocking you at your job. Why should I be paid less than average in my country and work more, making the benefits still less concrete? I think I have a good brain and I chose this career because I love it, but if I could born again I'd be a doctor or a teacher

They ask me, why do you hate Python? Well, maybe because I prefer fucking warnings and no fucking exit the program after 2 hours of computation if the parameter is unexpected. Fuck off

Inversion Of Control = you have to debug the framework code

I had mistakenly added a large file to a commit, and I'm now spending 3 hours of my life just to remove it and being able to push.

I've deleted the file from tracking, but it remained in history so when I try to push, github rejects to continue.

And, still worse, trying various solutions on StackOverflow I've done a mess on the history which now looks unrelated to the remote one, and I think it's a never-end catastrophe.

It's absurd how badly designed is git, and how hard it is to use besides the 3 commands that you learnt by heart

I loved Python from when I wrote my first program up to I googled "how to import a module from a parent directory".

My love lasted 30 seconds

I'm following this electron tutorial. I tried esporta and npm installa, but they are not working. Someone knows why?

I can't connect the fucking safari debugger to the fucking iPad.
It opens the window and closes it after a few seconds, or sometimes (1 time out of 20) it just works, without no fucking reason.

And you should wonder "why are you asking for help here, that's not the fucking StackOverflow" the problem is that I don't know where else to ask. The next step will be resurrect Steve Jobs and just ask him why

I find an average of 2 different iOS/XCode bug every day

Programming for iOS is pure pain.

Programming with ionic on a Safari debugger is still worse. It's a crime against humankind.

I regret the IE 6 debugger. Yes, I know what I'm saying

I just noticed that MomentJS discourages the use of its own library in the docs homepage.

I think it must have been hard, so honor to them

So I've to take a Google Developers Certificate because it's required by my company, and the deadline is in a few months. The Google website for taking the exam is broken. I mean, the website for a web development certificate is broken, am I supposed to fix it to pass the exam?

Oh, I was forgetting. There isn't any "contact us" button. Nice job for a 150$ worth certificate

Is docker even suitable for anything that isn't deployment?

So much time, so much effort, so much trial and error, and I still feel like I don't know what Docker is for.

I had a development VirtualBox machine, which I used just to compile my code and test my application. So I said "why don't I just use Docker? It would be way simpler". Also because that fucking Virtualbox image was like 10GB, and it was slow af.

The VirtualBox machine wasn't created by me, but it was just given to me by a previous developer, so I just had to imagine what I needed and pick up the pieces. In few hours I was ready with my Dockerfile.

So I tried it, and....... obviously it didn't work. I entered inside my container and I tried to manually execute commands in order to see where it breaks, and I tried to fix each of them. They were just the usual Linux dependencies problems, incompatibility among libraries, and so on.

Putting everything in order, I started over again with a virgin Ubuntu image, and I tried to fix every single error that appeared, I typed something like 1 hundred commands just to have my development machine up and running.

Now I have a running container that works, I don't know how to reproduce it with a Dockerfile, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it, because I'm afraid that any wrong command could destroy the container and lose all the job I did. I can't even bind folders because start/exec doesn't support bindings, so I've to copy files.

Furthermore, the documentation about start/exec is very limited, and every question on StackOverflow just talks about deployment. So am I wrong? Did I use containers for something that wasn't their main purpose? What am I supposed to do now? I'm lost, I feel so much stupid.

Just tell me what to do or call a psychologist

I'm still wondering what is wrong on my question, or more in general in all my StackOverflow questions, that 95% of the time just receive 14 views and 0 answers. I spend so much time answering and I just do it for the sake of helping other users, but when it's about receiving help back it's just tears

Take the laziest person in the world and ask him/her to write an API documentation. He/she would do a better job than Apple

I got notified that tomorrow I'm gonna start a porting project from a FileNet ecosystem.

Well, I don't know what is FileNet, but at least I've enough time to study its architecture. Let's start from the official IBM page:

The FileNet® P8 platform offers enterprise-level scalability and flexibility to handle the most demanding content challenges, the most complex business processes, and integration to all your existing systems. FileNet P8 is a reliable, scalable, and highly available enterprise platform that enables you to capture, store, manage, secure, and process information to increase operational efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.

Thank you IBM, now I surely know how to use FileNet. Well, I hope that wikipedia explains me what it is:

FileNet is a company acquired by IBM, developed software to help enterprises manage their content and business processes.

Oh my god. I tried searching half an hour so far and everything I found was just advertisements and not a clue about what it is.

Then they wonder why I hate IBM so much

Consulting or Software House?

And why?

I just invented a new JavaScript operator. It's named "plus with wings", and it's used to sum to numbers without ambiguity or any need of type conversion, for example:

3 -+- "2" // 5

"2.1" -+- "4" // 6.1

"-1.1" -+- "" // -1.1

So, from now, you won't have to wonder anymore what type is that variable.

Tested on all browsers

I don't always ask questions on StackOverflow. But when I do it, I get 0 answers and 10 views

I don't know if you already know StackBlitz, but in any case, let's give a glance to their new crazy idea:

https://deployto.space/

You should absolutely read the faqs

There is a question on StackOverflow, its name is "How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?". I think that everyone knows it. Well, I can easily guess that half of javascript questions on the website are marked as duplicated and linked to this question.

For a moment, let's identify with the people that spend hours on StackOverflow to read all the questions and try to answer to most of them. How stressing and annoying can be repeating the same single thing 50 times a day?

Well, we should take this in account before blaming SO for being rude or before saying that JavaScript sucks without even knowing how to fucking listen to the response on an asynchronous request

If git was written in english or in ancient greek it made no difference. It's everything counter-intuitive and you have just to learn commands by heart and google the errors. Because nothing makes sense, even if you know how it works and you used it for years

It's 2019. Why do people keep using $.each?

"ok Google, remind me to call the dentist tomorrow at midday"
"perfect, I'll remind you tomorrow at midnight"

And here, guys, there's the importance of unit tests

(I reproduce the bug with the Italian version, but it's probably due by the AM/PM settings)

How many hours a day works your project manager?

Sad to say, but StackOverflow became a worse place after the *everyone is welcomed* goal. I see way more stupid questions and 2010-like questions getting +3 votes. Wth

Can someone please explain me all these frontend/backend jokes? Oh my God I see like 10 of them every day and I can't understand what the hell they mean. I'm a full stack developer, I write frontend and I write backend. In my life I saw good code in both sides and bad code in both sides.

Why the hell the frontend should look nicer? What's the reason behind? Are maybe developer afraid that someone could inspect the code and write a cleaner one? Do they mean "graphic UI" by frontend and so they aren't talking about code? Are frontend languages better? WHAT THE HELL IS THE REASON

I know this is the second rant on a row about this, but I really need to hear someone saying that IBM enterprise software sucks. Nothing works, everything heavy and slow as fuck, documentation doesn't exist, official developer's forum gives me an error on login, many IBM official pages give me a 500 internal error. And, in the end, this costed as hundreds of thousands of euro. Seriously?
