Any 'digital nomads' on here? Thinking it's about time to leave the US

Self-signed certificates... I know you fuckers got them, I see them everywhere. Not cool, bruh

Best part of being a dev? Rock star status when things are going well: had to get a fix out by 18:00, boss walks by as I'm watching something on YouTube and tells me the client called and wanted to be sure we'd have it done in time, told him not to worry and went back to my video. Pushed the fix at 17:30, and tomorrow I'll be in the same position: every last minute fix delivery only grows my reputation for getting critical last-minute fixes out in time... As skeptical as my boss was at the time when he walked past and saw me on YouTube he had to he polite because he knows how crucial I am to this project

I think tomorrow I'm going to work on my own project and slack off, no one will be able to tell me different

Wow.... Perfect!!!

Writing code for SJWs be like

Sorry, I can't hear you haters with my shades on

Poll: or select()?

Testing requirements, some of these are pretty specific such as 'don't do X before you compute Y'... OK, check that off

Now we have some independent analyst saying how can you prove 'X' isn't done... "Look at the source code we've provided"

"OK, but where in the source should I look [for something which isn't there]?"

Social media site/app... I think social media is such a saturated market yet everyone seems to think their spin is somehow unique and worthwhile...

Although, not sure if DevRant counts as 'social media' but tbh I see real value in getting developers to form a community, where to profit potential comes from potentially linking developers to recruiters/employers (targeted ads to devs for shit we would want). And devs get a nice platform to socialize and bullshit about things we all experience (ie, the 'community' is real and valuable to us)

All in favor of a "POSIX compliant alliance" click ++

Look, I've given Microsoft and Windows a lot of shit, but I just have to be fair and say the one piece of hardware that I absolutely covet is the Surface Pro... If that is the direction Microsoft is heading in the coming years I'll have a lot more respect for them...

So the guy I replaced as the senior dev on my project (because he was lazy) is now trying to give me advice on how to cleanup my code.... This is the motherfucker who blatantly copies and pastes from one library to another and pushes the code without doing ANY testing and so I had to spend many weekends cleaning up his pile of shit code, and now I have 3 new tickets labelled 'style updates' that he wants me to merge in.... Fuck him, I'm not merging his code

Does anyone remember the #itgetsbetter gay pride campaign from a couple of years ago? Whenever I read a new dev being overly happy I want to comment #itgetsworse

Coming up with tests that show we have met the requirements on the project, some of the requirements are "Use method X" to perform this computation, boss says "we can't simply refer to the documentation/source code demonstrating that this method is used" ... WTF....

Does anyone here have/use a HackRF? I'm getting one soon as a small token of appreciation from my management and I'd love to get tips/comments

Can you see who gives your comment/rant a '--'?

Trying to reverse engineer a competitor's system, which is a pain due to lack of documentation (despite the fact that it's "open source")... Then I run into some documents on the web about a much earlier version, and suddenly, we're in business 😈😈

don't know if I'm allowed to post twice for the same weekly rant, but my favorite reaction was when my senile neighbor responded with "Oh that's nice! Computers are all over the place like stink on shit these days"

when I graduated my dad would 'help' me in my job hunt by cutting out postings from the New York Times for "Lead Software Engineer" positions at Microsoft, Google etc despite the fact that I really was just trying to get a junior level position...

I always print out a hard copy of whatever code I'm working on, then go through the code and annotate it with a pen until I feel that I have some insight... it's usually either that or I'll just walk away and come back later

my boss, recently: "Partner company is complaining about seg-faults in our software" [the system is still in testing, not deployment]

me: "tell me what steps to reproduce the error and I'll fix it"

boss: "I'd like to prevent seg faults from happening no matter what"

...I literally can't even at this point

random question: I have a younger friend who is interested in becoming a programmer, but is dyslexic.... does anyone know of any resources/advice I can give him?

company has Google drive, OneDrive, DropBox accounts, and yet 90% of important documents are distributed via email...

everything would run so much better if I were in charge....

why do so many programmers have so little regard for grammar/syntax, spelling and formatting when it comes to written communication?? it's not as though you can get away with ignoring their analogues when coding!

some of you seriously need to look up 'imposter syndrome'
