Best experience: Learned about templates

Worst experience: Had to use templates

That feeling when you are back coding with your first programming language after a long long time.

Being perfectionist

1. Fix a bug with ugly code.

2. Start from scratch.

I just installed Ubuntu on my old laptop and Jesus that terminal is just amazing. Now I see why GUI is for noobs.

When you check the comments under GitHub and most of them are +1

My weirdest ever co-worker was a man who called himself "the code" and wrote exclusively JavaScript.

Got home from work and found this Python at my doorstep, I cringed initially but remembered I write Python, so I said "Hey! Where's your interpreter?"

The university system is fucked.

I've been working in this industry for a few years now, but have been self taught for much longer. I'm only just starting college and I'm already angry.

What does a college degree really mean anymore? From some of the posts I've seen on devRant, it certainly doesn't ensure professional conduct, work ethic, or quality (shout out to the brave souls who deal with the lack of these daily). Companies should hire based on talent, not on a degree. Universities should focus more on real world applications or at least offer such programs for students interested in entering the workforce rather than research positions. A sizable chunk of universities' income (in the U.S. at least) comes from research and corporate sponsorships, and educating students is secondary to that. Nowadays education is treated as a business instead of a tool to create value in the world. That's what I signed up for, anyway - gaining the knowledge to create value in the world. And yet I along with many others feel so restricted, so bogged down with requirements, fees, shitty professors, and shitty university resources. There is so much knowledge out there that can be put to instant practical use - I am constantly shocked at the things left out of my college curriculum (lack of automated tests, version control, inadequate or inaccurate coverage of design patterns and philosophies) - things that are ABSOLUTELY essential to be successful in this career path.

It's wonderful that we eventually find the resources we need, or the motivation to develop essential skills, but it's sad that so many students in university lack proper direction through no fault of their own.

Fuck you, universities, for being so inflexible and consistently failing to serve your basic purpose - one of if not the most important purpose on this earth.

Fuck you, corporations, for hiring and paying based on degree. Fuck you, management, for being so ignorant about the industry you work in.

Fuck you, clients, who treat intelligent people like dirt, make unreasonable demands, pull some really shady shit, and perpetuate a damaging stereotype.

And fuck you to the developer who wrote my company's antipattern-filled, stringy-as-all hell codebase without comments. Just. Fuck you.

Excellent Database table design...

Totally agreed.

Finally, honest release notes!

This would be neat

Happy holidays devRanters.

One of my coworker insists to take of shoes and socks while coding. He say that cold feet helps him concentrate.

This reminds me one of the Japanese anime about Mahjong, if you know what I am talking about.

Got myself a christmas present.

JacksOnF1re child = Girlfriend.createByInject(JacksOnF1re);

And yes, we did the unit test.

Wow

Happy Christmas in C!

Studying for my web programming finals this chirstmas and I find this.
Thank you cheeky author, thank you.

Too accurate and precise,😀😀

2017: jump into the near future

AnotherJSFramework.js

So AJSF.js

Anyone else loves and uses devrant more than Facebook or Twitter?

My grandfather just came over for christmas eve and asked me what this devRant thing I was looking at was.

I told him it was facebook but for programmers 😆
