Father of my IT director. He was good with VB6. Now he is abusing MS Dynamics by using it to just host custom html forms and his DB main working table (which just mimics the fields of the CRM entity he has created is edging on 300 fields. He reuses same entity for 10 different non related "applications" (custom html forms... just CRUD) so majority of rows in that table use up to 30 fields...

This should qualify, algo strikes again!

I did it; it works.

Where to begin?
- I purposely overestimate because I can get away with it in current job
- I test in production like 50% of time in current job
- I deploy during working hours
- My javascript is a sphagetti monster in current intranet implementation and I am sorry for the next future maintainer after I'm gone...

FUCK.

I've corrupted 100 gbs of live data...

I'm hoping we will pull through with backups (3rd party backup software for SharePoint)

Not prepping enough to have passed interviews for MS and Amzn :/

14 vulnerabilities in usb subsystem for linux?

Here you go

SharePoint got axed in my prev job and it payed quite well for my home country (Lithuania). I could not find comparable offers on the market in the country and started looking at foreign markets and eventually settled on UK at that time. My girlfriend at that time (now wife) quit her job and followed me there and eventually got employed by the same company.

We have just finished our internal transfer with same company from UK to Canada and couldn't be happier (though the pay is crappy by Canadian standards, but we'll get there in a few years hopefully...)

Remember I wanted to do a small web app but found out there were already 5 or so which did the same thing and got discouraged and you lot cheered me to do it anyway?

It's a web app to get a diff from two texts, with the ability to save the diff and get a shortlink to it :)

Enjoy: https://finddiff.com

Not sure if repost, but I can relate :D

So, today's the day.
I'm moving to Canada! Super excited, but kind tired of all the moving around I did throughout the years...

Wish me luck 😊

Also, how many of you have moved countries at some point, as with our profession it seems quite easy?

Ok peeps!

A newbie to nodejs and linux VPS (ubuntu) would appreciate any tips you could throw my way on how to push locally developed nodejs webapp to prod in vps server 😊

Thanks!

Me: I'm currently working an unfamiliar stack and need extensive searching to implement this or that, but that's ok, duck duck go and SO is my friend

Also me: oh look, [facebook/devrant/youtube/I really need to sort this unrelated shit right about now since I just randomly remembered it and will forget in 3..2..1../devrant]

I like to try to make things as interesting as possible for myself, for example think of some kind of a side project, and then do it with unfamiliar tech stack - this way motivation about the idea adds to my determination to make it work using new tech!

So yeah I do work on windows laptop, with multiple remote sessions into windows servers. (deal with it)

I don't like restarting (who does?) so mostly put laptop to sleep. Sometime it bugs out after several cycles and clipboard stops working.

And I sometimes need copying / pasting texts into similar files on multiple servers.

Damn it, because of this bug I developed a mild paranoia in a sense that once i have text in clipboard I do ctrl+a, del in the target file and then paste, just to see visually that I did in fact successfully pasted that shit.

Hey, what do you think about WTF capes for duckies?

Oh I'd put like three of those on a duck and the proceed to throw it at the people that displease me. 😇😈

DevRant issue: https://github.com/devRant/devRant/...

FUCK.

That feeling when you get inspired with an idea for a web app, do a quick search and find out there are already 2-3 sites that offer exactly what you envisioned...

My motivation just sinks so low after cases like this!

PISS.

Am I the only one whose daily morning routine is not only reading through devRant feed, but also catching up on the devRant issue tracker? Love me some discussions there :D

That's what I call semi-hybrid mode developing

He just wants to science!

Well, not best experience per se, but most memorable one.

So I am accepted to CS program at the university - happy days!

First lecture of the first day of the first semester in the first year...

...It just had to be that guy. He was famous for for his strictness among the faculty as we later found out.

But, the lecture. It's 8.25 am, I am making my way into auditorium, and it's filled with freshmen like me, of course. Instead of cheerful chatter noise I hear literally silence. What the? I catch the glimpse of the blackboard - the professor is there, hard at work writing out some stuff that can't comprehend. Double checked the name of the lecture - computer architecture.

8.30 - so it begins, I remember taking a place along the front rows in order to see more clearly. Professor turns to us and just starts the lecture, saying that he'll introduce himself later at the end and there is no time to waste. OK...

And he just dumps the layout of x86 computer architecture and a mixture of basic ASM jargon on us WITHOUT TURNING TO US FOR LIKE 30 MINS while writing things out on the blackboard.

The he finally turns 180 degrees very quickly, evaluates our expression (I know mine was WTF is this I don't even understand half the words), sighs, turns back and continues with the lecture.

Winnie spree! All you have to do is be nice to him :D

Fuck I can't even. Remember all those rants (mine included) about how users are quite retarded and only report "omg smth wrong, help" without any explanaition or screen shot, or even worse WITH A WORTHLESS CROPPED OUT SCREENSHOT?!

USERS I GET, BUT FUCKING SENIOR DESKTOP SUPPORT GUY DOING SAME RETARDED IT DOES NOT WORK CAN U HELP THING IS MADDENNNNIINNGG

LEARN TO FUCKING READ THE FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS IN THE FUCKING ERROR DESCRIPTION, YES?

*Ahhh* 😄

Number of times I opened devRant app today: at least 15 times an hour starting from 8am, so ~150.

Number of li(n)es of code I produced today: <= 40

devRant wins. FINISH HIM !!!

I just love languages and functions that support using a negative int to access array from the end! Awesome.
