It's reading time!

Hear what?

What's is the top 10 package in nodes?

Sad =(

Finally!

Some milk. 😇😀

Then there's that awkward moment when variable "count" doesn't work because I called it "cunt" later on.

99% of the devs be like

catch(Exception e)
{
// Not a single fuck given
}

Waiting to see if anyone notices

Well, that's obvious :D

When you get a day off and you want to work on a personal project, but your spouse has other plans.

When you opensource your code ...

Managers in a nutshell.... 😑😑

My car hit 37 miles today

I get pissed when somebody takes me out of my coding mindset for something minor. A deep bubble of abstract thought gets popped so that I can be told that we'll be eating dinner in an hour. I then have to start my thought processes from scratch.
This is why I can't get any work done during the daytime, and why I do all my coding at night.
This comic depicts this issue perfectly.

Fake bug fix

maybe it's time feature is added for devrant simple community dev projects. there could be games, parody websites, you name it. projects could be hosted on github, and indexed at a "projects" tab here on devrant, so we can choose something and start rolling with our pals from devrant when we get bored at work :) @dfox (inspired by rant from @Notebookdeviant)

Unfortunately I don't have a laptop, but my raspberryPi will do just fine (I will use other stickers when I get a laptop). Thanks for the stickers :)

Sage
Pick any sage software...

I feel old when I say that my first website was on Geocities.

Still true

Anonymous rants!

Let me explain, many people here have chosen meaningless usernames to them, to be completely anonymous, many others didn't... For example if you Google Etrunon I guess that you'll find me in less than 5 minutes...

So I believe that this may lead to less and less hateful, frustrated and liberating rants. Mainly because of three reasons: fear to be discovered from the outside(boss, etc) , fear to be discovered inside (colleagues or friends invited here) and the latter is the community building aspect of this app.

So what I am asking (knowing that should be a lot eheh) is the capability to post new rants either signed or anonymous... This to prevent being discovered let us having rewarding rants to read while on the same hand being able to connect and getting in touch a little bit with each other :)

What do you think?

@dfox @trogus

To understand what recursion is, you must first understand what recursion is.

Well, it wasn't fun, but I switched jobs this month. And sadly, it was mostly because my old company started building custom applications for our larger customers. Now, normally that wouldn't be too bad (other than the fact that it distracts us form working on our main product...) but... it was decided that we would use the back end of our user-generated forms module as the data storage layer. Someone outside of my department thought it would be a great idea, and my boss kinda just rolled over without a fight because he always just figures he can "make it work" if he works hard enough...

You shoulda seen the database and SQL code...

Because of that decision, everything took at least 3x as long to write and there was always the looming possibility that the user could change the schema on a whim and break the app.

I think the reasoning behind it was to try and keep the customers tied to the aging flagship product (with a pricy subscription model), but IMO, it was not with it. Our efforts could've had much greater impact somewhere else. Nobody seemed to care what I thought about it though...

I had to start over as a front-end dev, but I'm trying to look on the bright side and seeing it as an opportunity to sharpen my skills in that area. I'm already learning a lot. And although it's a little scary at times, it's also so refreshing to work at a place where I know I'm not the smartest guy in the room.

To the future!

Admit when you're wrong and be willing to accept your ideas aren't always the best.

I worked on a browser game for two years and I did not use any version control system. This was 13 years ago. Can't imagine myself how I managed this at all without killing myself immediately.

Better think for 30 minutes than to fix for the rest of development

Do you listen to music while coding? If yes what genre(mine is drum and bass)

It's not a demo if you didn't get everything working 5 minutes before it starts.
