Last night I dreamed that one of my repos on GitHub got -1 stars and I was actually really sad

Amazon showed me this when I tried to cancel my prime trial
For a horrible second I thought I had to send it in by mail

I think I've never prayed so much for things to work before I started working as a dev 😅

Visual Studio Code! It's Microsoft showing Atom that they can copy Sublime Text better ;)

Another great thing is pihole.

I was recently interviewing a fresh college graduate. According to his resume, he had practically invented machine learning. He eats kaggle datasets for breakfast and was all set to invent a cure for cancer with deep learning. And then, I ask him a simple question. What is 's' in 'https' and he says... "simple".

Found some prestik (putty-like adhesive, similar to Blu Tack) and whiteboard markers...

A bit late to the party, but then, I was having a party of my own with @Kshitij-goel
'Tis nothing much, how much can a grad student afford?

Error 404. Room not found.

So I'm at Brazil Day in NY, took me $6 and 1.5hrs to get here but know what I'm here I feel spending $5 for street food snacks is too much... Like they're price gouging too far...

But in other contexts, I have no problem dropping $$$ for food... Pretty much daily...

I'm not sure how I should make sense of this or justify it. Maybe that's the difference between paying cash and swiping?

What the fuck, it says on both my LinkedIn profile and on my CV that I'm a student but I can take on part time projects, and I also told a recruiter the same thing over phone (after he found me on LinkedIn).

Today I had lunch with said recruiter. Guess who had no clue I was a student?

Debugging a car ECU.

How much DP (DuckPower) your car has?

In early stages, c# was called "COOL", or c-like object oriented language.

So true :D

My doggo and my daughter...

Just a bit.

Sometimes I just go on autopilot:

every morning I buy bananas and then eat them during the day

one day I forgot to buy, but still ate bananas

!dev !rant but a whole lotta devRant

After talking to a friend about joining devRant++ he said it was a path he could not follow. This is him soon

At customer site with my boss.

Boss: let's check this code which is not working

Me: ok (starting the debugging session)

I found this code, which was failing during the writing on disk for some reasons.

try
{
....
writer.writeline(some data);
....
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
....
}

Boss: ok it fails to write data but we need to, let's manage it like this:

try
{
....
writer.writeline(some data);
....
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
writer.writeline(some data);
....
}

First time ever I convinced someone to join devRant!!
He's another intern in this company!

Welcome onboard, @kosimst!

Whoopsie!

Okay, just wrote a program with memory allocation inside an accidental infinite loop and by the time I was able to kill it, it had already claimed 86% of my memory. Scared the shit out of me because my OS was CRAWLING for a while

God father on demand. Your own personal Jesus

Found this at my grandmothers house... Check out caption "compete free on the internet" and for Windows 95

Maybe you're already aware of this one:

Yet another someone just contacted me about having a "great idea for an app".

That's a justified rant all by itself.

I can usually understand why something works in some way but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS??!!!

Do you hate / like loss-of-quality compression?
