@carlos4068 I hope you forgive me for sharing that meme.

Meet my new friend who is chillin' on my desk on his vacation.

That will be thefuck (https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck)

Why?
Mondays.

That deserves to be here.

For me coding is best at about half of second 0,5l beer with ~5-6% alc. drunk at rate beer/hour. Did half of my bachelor's thesis during half of that second beer probably.

Turning off Windows Updates

devRant algorithm strikes again!

Will I hit 1024++ today?

That's gonna be a quick rant about Golang.

Anyone else here frustrated by the fact that you can inline assignment in the if statement, but can't inline the if-else itself?

You can do:
if thing := hey.getThatThing(); thing == theThing {
return 'this'
} else {
return 'that'
}

But can't do:
return 'this' if hey.getTheThing() == theThing else 'that'

Or is it just me using too much Python everyday and connecting that with Go in free time?

When client for past few days tells you how important that new feature he wants is, and you should get to it asap.
But then when you actually start working on it after discussing it, specification creation and preparations, with mind set and focused, he tells you:
- 'Know what? I will need that change in the old feature before that. You can postpone the new feature by one day.'

So... How was it the most important thing in the universe again?

If each developer can be substituted with finite number of student developers and each student can be substituted with finite number of answers to StackOverflow questions, then who would ask and answer the latter? 🤔

!rant

Can we bring into discussion inline monospaced code snippets again?

Basic markdown text formatting. Like bold, italics, lists.

1. Apply for a 3 month Java internship.
2. Prove your worth and skills during it not even liking Java.
3. Get invited to work full time after it without further internship in any technology you want.
4. Join the company when convenient year later as they really want you.
5. Be proud of how good you are that they still want you.
6. Get your own project in language and technology you prefer.
7. Profit.

@linuxxx went from 50k to 70k ++ in few weeks. Amd here am I with 390 after one year on devRant with my rants getting <10 ++ and 0-2 comments.

I've seen posts about Manjaro quite a lot recently. Just wondering:

How many of us are using Manjaro as daily usage system. And why not other?

For me it is because it connects ease of use of Ubuntu (or even Win) with possibilities of Arch. And I always liked KDE. Plus it works out of the box, with Nvidia drivers ready and stuff.

When working on feature the client requested for two straight days, one that required refactoring few others. Just to hear on the third day, that no, he won't be needing it after all.

It is simple git revert, but still. Two days of work just removed be single command because of incompetent client.

I don't.

Friday.

When you have been trying to understand what your Hindi client wants from you for half a day, then been implementing it for the other half, and then it is 15:45 and based on result you have send him half hour earlier, he decides that no, it has to work differently and want new result, before weekend.

Nope.

How I stay focused:

1. Isolating headphones with energizing music.
2. Partition of job to smaller tasks (1-2h of work)
3. Short break after each task.
4. Closed DevRant, Facebook, Reddit and other media.

I am currently trying to decide what new display should I get. Could you help me? There is simple and quick Google Form prepared describing my options: https://goo.gl/forms/...

; DELETE * FROM Users WHERE 1=1; just checking

@dfox
!rant, it's the Feature request

Possibility to post `a code snippet with monospaced font` would be usefull.
Or even
```
def multiline_code():
from 2 to Inf:
"Lines of code"
```
Sth like in markdown.

How many times a day you have to install Java?

I mean, how many cups of coffee you need per day.

How? Terribly.

You know that moment, when you look for something on wikipedia, and after few hiperlinks you are reading about influence of penguins on Mars' day length or othen nonsense?

Just happened to me like 4th time when reading Django documentation. It is so well written and easy to understand, that I just click and click and want to go deeper, and then realise I have to read what I need, because I never ever got to it in the first place.

Gotta love the people who make such docs. I never could, and prbly will.

I see some users are writing '!rant' or even '!!rant' in header or tags. What does it mean?

Ever felt like swapping variables?

a, b = b, a

It is the small things that count
