Have you ever wondered we programmers have so many strong communities.... Stackoverflow, devRant, Reditt, etc...
No other profession has such communities... Why? Why?
Because, we haven't built one for them.... 😂😁

Would you still be a programmer if CTRL-Z didn't exist?

Just remembered joke:

"One man's crappy code is another man's full-time job"

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.

When your high school computer science teacher doesn't know what git is.

I made an account just to rant about this:

Currently working for a multi billion dollar company and this is the code some wanker decided to write! Now I get the pleasure of reading through and debugging it :D

Last night I caught my girlfriend on my phone.....
Reading devRant..
I asked her what she was doing, she replied "I wanted to see what you spend all your time reading, some of this is actually pretty funny.."
❤

someone got the new iPhone earbuds already!!!

Waiting on Apple to release the new Macbook Pro like:

Just saw a variable in C named like this:

long time_ago; //in a galaxy far away

I laughed no stop.

Not a rant....

I received an email today from a client that reads "I'm so anxious to pay you. This is the best money I've spent on my website."

🤘🤘🤘

School time, programming class:
Girl: Hey, Can you help me?
Me: Sure, what's up?
G: I have an error but I don't know why
M: *looks at error stack trace* You're missing a semicolon in line 133 *puts comma, run... 27 more errors* Well, you have more issues up there, why don't you try to fix them?
G: Oh, Ok, thanks
-- 1 hour later --
G: Hey, can you come? I already fixed the other issues but I still have one I can't fix
M: *checks code, same mistake I fixed, missing semicolon, same line* Why did you erase the semicolon?
G: Oh, because if I erase it, I only have 1 error, but if I leave it, I have 27 so....
M: *turn around, walk away*

Dev confession.
Everybody in my department thinks I am a genius programmer.
I am just a better googler who knows how to apply things.

I tell a colleague, "Hey, could you make your commits more meaningful? A commit message of '.' helps nobody.".

He then uses 'no message' for his commits.

Also, commits every 30 seconds. I know commit often... But is that really necessary?

Why.

STICKERS!!

correctly named devices

Fighting an IT guy is lot like fighting a pig in mud. After some time you realise pig likes the mud.

If you put a million monkeys on a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program. The rest of them will write Perl programs.

- Another package from NY? More stickers?
- No. It's a ball this time!

People are starting to look weird at me over here...

I started my first job with no degree and no real experience. It was a sink or swim kind of place. Six months in, I was working on a bunch of projects independently, then they hired a new junior developer, and told me it was my job to mentor him.

a lot of the time I knew what to do to get the job done, but I didn't know why. He always asked why... Learning something is one thing, teaching it is another. This guy was the best co-worker I've ever had because he pushed me to be much better while we learned together.

Me: "Ahh yes finally done making this big module that does X, took me 2 weeks but its done!"
Coworker: "You know there's a plugin that does X right?"
Me: "Just go..."
Coworker: "Ohh and it also does Y which makes X easier if you have to do Z"
Me: "GET OUT OF HERE I NEED TO CRY"

The new iPhone 7 comes out on August. If you want to have a sneak peek at the new iPhone. Take a look at the your current iPhone and pretend it costs 200 dollars more.

... when you ask someone for their IP and you get a 10.x.x.x back ... followed by a dump of their ipconfig, showing this IP as their VirtualBox Host-Adapter ... and this someone is a developer for web-applications ...

Possibly the best comment I have ever encountered:

// When I wrote this, only God and I understood what I was doing
// Now, God only knows

it works! ..wtf?! Why does THAT SHIT WORK?

It has never worked for me. Lol.

Your mama's so FAT she can't save files bigger than 4GB.

Yeah, you thought it right! This one aims for the stress ball...Come on devRants, I have faith in you!
