Overhearing your boss pitch the application you're currently working on to a client as an effort to save them from leaving, only to also hear him list features that were never discussed as part of the application launch.

I seriously hate egotistical developers. Just had an hour meeting where one developer side tracked and talked for 45 minutes about how important and great his code is. At one point he even literally said, "I'm a genius". It takes everything inside of me to keep it together and remain professional to him on a daily basis. Please don't be this guy

Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Quote by my non-techie co-founder: when a developer says a new feature takes X amount of time, you always have to multiply X by PI to get the actual duration 🤓

Being a developer is a funny old thing. We sit and bitch about developing for clients, we bitch IDE'S and we bitch about languages.

But to perfectly honest, I don't know where I'd be without it.

The state of engineering teachers in India is pathetic

I'll never hate anyone's bad code as much as I hate my own bad code.

The Captain Obvious commenter:

// account deletion
account.delete()

// check results
if results.any()

.... which eventually leads confusing unmaintained comments

When you document your class just right, so when you encounter it accidentally while debugging, you feel like digging in a base class, because it's so well documented and perfectly written.

When you work your ass off to meet the deadline and once you miraculously make it, the client decides to wait with the launch for a few more weeks.

"Make sure existing hacks keep working"

Best. Acceptance Criteria. Ever.

I'm reluctant to introduce devRant to my co-workers because I'm worried they might connect the dots and realize I've been complaining about them :/

Don't worry, we can refactor it later.

My former boss kept insisting "we need deeper fonts!"

Me: do you mean darker?
Boss: no, deeper!
Me: do you want me to make it bold?
Boss: no, deeper!!

Everybody

so true...😅😅

Don't fall asleep doing dev work. Your laptop may migrate while you sleep and drop on your foot the next morning as you pull yourself out of bed. 13" MBP at 3 feet vs my foot.

Not today!

Bought a raspberry pi and I was expecting to make a robot....
I finally can Light up a led using php...

devranters account registration could include coding knowledge test to keep out snooping PMs? but instead of denying them access on failure it could just silently filter them all to their own channel >:)

Don't want devRant to become stack overflow but...
