My son is about to be born within the next 30 minutes!! Not such a rant just some happy news!

When you start reading someone else's code and all you do is properly indent for the first 30 mins so you can actually read it.

I think I'm actually starting to see a bend in my desk from all the times I've smashed my head into it

One thing I've learned in the past year. Never start working on a task that's based on a lot of assumptions.

Why is a very productive day generally followed by a completely unproductive one...

Once you've been writing code for so long, being excited writing code can go away. I still find that I get the rush when working with a new language or technology. It feels good to be a beginner again 🙂

I love programing more than my gf , just dont tell her

Database admins out there?

This is how I feel when someone thinks being a developer is easy.

Anybody else had to do their programming exams using only pen and paper?

The hardest decision in any devs day is what to name the variable

programmers true meaning.

Still the best XKCD of all time.

"Age is just a number"
No, "Age" is clearly a string.

I knew I was about to get laid off so I stopped caring and started answering questions on stack overflow all day every day instead of working.

10k rep later I got a new job via stack overflow careers that pays twice as much.

Moral of the story? Be efficient... even when you are not.

Want to learn programming in a single night :|

Seriously ???

People are posting their setups so I thought I'd post this.

It's a 2012 MacBook Pro, 13 inch. I put 16GB ram and some solid state in there just so it gets the job done.

When I was a freshman in high school, my dad saw something in me that he believed in (and I didn't). He decided to put his money where his heart was. He told me that he would go out and buy me a computer, and I wouldn't have to pay him back, if I would work hard at programming to pay for my own college.

His investment payed off. I just graduated high school and started a job last week that will get me through college debt-free through the gap year that I'm taking. This machine's getting a little old, but it means a lot to me. It reminds me that my dad believed in me even when I didn't. 🖖🏼

Recipe for Ice Coffee:
1: Make Coffee
2: Start coding
3: Forget you made Coffee
4: Drink it cold

Index, currIndex and i are all -1.

The real index is a postfix on a string in another class passed through several layers of reflection and delegates.

Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be better. Tommorow will be better....

Second coolest project that I have worked was optimizing an algorithm that used images to speedup by 2000x by parallel processing. While the cpu took 7.34 seconds to process just one image and source, the parallel embedded code did it just in 0.0034 :) The coolest one is still in progress where I am building an Ai for my mac control ;)

Seeing all devrant posts actually give me a feeling of not being alone with my everyday work-related issues. It's good to be a programmer and even better to be a part of a global community.

When you are the only developer in your team and everybody thinks you are a master of all platform :/

fuck guys my boss is on devrant.

Old but gold ... And it's true actually

You never realize how much power you have until you quit a job and find another in a matter of minutes.

Merge commits. Is it really that hard to keep your feature branch up to date with master?

Quote dumbledore: "Soon we all have to choose between what is right and what is easy"

So very true in programming aswell :p

When you start smiling at rants all the time and your family and friends think you got a new girlfriend

I wonder how many kilometers I've scrolled on devRant today

The only correct way to write JavaScript is whatever you were not doing last week.
