Usually it's customer support.
We are a small team, so developers handle support, on a rotation basis though. But this is a hell lot of distraction because of the context switch. :(
Sometimes there are really disturbing tickets like how do I call this API using HTML? (*cries in spanish)

A question.
I understand ads on browsers that use cookies, but I don't understand how I get the same ad on a mobile app say instagram, for a search I did on laptop browser?

Thanks in advance.

Will be having first experience as a interviewer.
I pledge that I will ask practical and fair questions and pull the best out of the candidate.

You tell them this design is going to be complex, do we really need it?
They say yes.
We come up with the solution with lots of hair loss.
They say, "this looks really complex, But we are glad you came up with this".

Nuf said.

Never ever ssh into production when you are feeling​ hungry.

Not writing tests.

Yes we exist.

Moments when you give wrong estimate and then have to sit up all night.
Fuck estimates. I will never get them right.

Setting up dev environment.
Had enough doubts, got to know everyone in my team. :)

#include<iostream>
#include<getch()>
....
Yes, he was our OS teacher and he was trying to write a C++ program.

When you are asked to show a minimal working demo of what you have been working on past 2 days but you realise you are in the middle of refactoring those 7 files. Now you don't want to undo nor have time to finish remaining work.

Valentines day at work

Finally, pushed a post on my blog, after almost 2 months.
Now it feels like a weekend. 😤

Jeff dean jokes are too good.
No doubt the guy is brilliant too.

I wish to make most of the terminal with keyboard but again web app development needs constant switching to browser with mouse :/

Put a rant about some productivity stuff and instantly my feed had few productivity related rants on top. algorithm is working well @dfox :)

It's Thursday but why in the name of god it has to feel like friday. No productive work today :(

So today, at workplace, while discussing something we came at a point that why now a days many folks around us are screaming at JAVA or boasting about modern languages? where as many good concepts originated from it as well as even in many orgs the heavy lifting of huge tasks like in spark is done using java.
A thought came into my mind that, are we kinda becoming lazier by using languages like python, ruby which help to do tasks with little code?

"Frontend is easy, CSS`ification is difficult."
Just made it up. But sadly, its true for me.

Seeing lot of images these days, not sure how much space this is going to cost devrant? @dfox (I love GIFs though)

I wished to buy a MBP for myself, but this new version. I am not going to need any of that fancy touchbar and all. But again the previous version is too old. Looking for other options (lenovo preferably)

At workplace we work on other branches than master and I hate my empty contribution graph on Github :(

People doing those interactive graphics today, will never understand the joy of seeing an output of line drawing algorithm in C++.

Reading all the week37 pranks, I really envy you folks. I mean these pranks are loud and big, won't others get distracted is my question? How do they let you work after these pranks? 😁

I do not have any such experiences but I am here to get ideas 😈

Does anybody else dislike paranthesis less function call in ruby?
> a = something
How do I understand 'something' is a variable or a function?

The relative activity on devrant on weekdays is really less than weekends. Glad we have hardworking devs here.

No snacks in pantry.
