Visa paid $150k for this dude... I don't have any words...

Stolen from the fireship's nodejs YouTube video but I found this funny.

I hate meetings that could have been just checking the Jira to see what everyone is working on... Getting 5 people together to individually mention what they're working on... So inefficient

Just found a
catch {
// TODO: correctly handle exceptions
}

In production code.

I wonder what happened to devrant podcasts. They were so great. Are there any new episodes coming up?

What podcasts do you guys listen to?

Am I the only one who has to work in 31st as well as 1st?

Companies suck...
Happy new year btw!

This just arrived in the mail! I'm loving that free swag.

Client comes to me after a year to publish an update to his app.

I accept, start looking for my release key.... Found it.

Fuuuuuuucccck what's the password? I can't remember

Googled what to do if forgot password of keystore: Nope can't do shit other than brute Force. You've to forget your app and publish as a new app. Nice.

I must have written it somewhere... I'm sure. Check my password manager: Nope.

Start brute forcing:
Default pass: android. Nope
Name of app? Nope

After 10 mins of brute forcing:
Why would I not store the password in my password manager? The only reason I can think is the password is too stupid to be stored.

Try "password". App signed successfully.

I'm ashamed of 1 year older me xD

Which podcasts do you guys listen to? I've listened to syntax.fm and devrant podcasts and both are amazing.

I accidentally stumbled upon the devrant podcast and oh my God, it's so freaking awesome! Such great advice for devs. Looking forward to new episodes!

Writing clean code.
Writing useful comments.
Commit before experimenting.

Just anything to prevent Technical Debt. Just because it works doesn't mean it should be kept as is. Later down the line you'll need to add a new feature and you'll spend 2x more time fixing the things you took for granted.

What's the most cost effective way of hosting a Lamp stack website? I have a pretty basic website with less than 50 viewers per week.

I am so confused with all the options: GCP, Amazon lightsail, Ec2, godaddy, heroku, etc.

What would you guys recommend for such a small website? Currently, I've hosted it on Ec2 for the first year but I don't think that's cost effective at all after the first year.

Why are programmers not allowed in the Intensive Care Unit?

Because they like to turn stuff off and on again

Today while trying to fix a bug, an actual bug came flying through the window and sat on my laptop. When I tried to make it flee, it went inside my laptop through the vent.

I guess now I have two bugs to deal with.

I've done 24hr - 36hr hackathons twice and won't recommend it to anyone XD. The toll it has on your body is huge. I literally felt I lost 1 year of my lifespan going through that hackathon. Lots of coffee and tea. Felt sleepy and had a headache for 2-3 days after that

I'm so happy today. Fixed a bug that was haunting me for weeks. My ionic app was working on Android, the browser, the toaster,... Everything but an iPhone. I thought it was an issue with iOS and this bug really messed with me.

You know you're fucked when you start searching answers on quora instead of Stack Overflow.

So here's the story about a big Fuck up by a TRAI chief in India

He posted an open challenge on twitter:
"Here's my 12 digit Aadhar card (social security no for Indians) number. Show me if you can do any harm to me. "

And Twitter obliged, a French hacker aliased @fs0c131y (Elliot Alderson) took the challenge and he started posting his phone number, email, and other personal stuff on twitter.

Still the official thinks he's safe and no harm has been done to him! He openly says, "Even if you get my bank account no what can you do?"

Everything setup perfectly

Is this a devrant sticker in the silicon valley VR trailer?

So I was looking for an internship online and I came across this. How can someone expect so much from a student? The stipend is only (₹5000) i. e. $70/month.

Most of the companies on this site are basically treating jobs as student internships looking to get work done at cheap rates.

Need some advice

Hey everyone! I'm just starting out in web design as a freelancer. What according to you is a good starting price I should charge a client?

I've got a client asking for prices and I'm not sure what to charge.
Any other tips would be appreciated :)

My classmate asked me to remotely download and install Java jdk for him via teamviewer. He's in 3rd year Computer Engineering...

My god.

I went to a hackathon and I was surprised to see that the judge was a fellow devranteer himself! Saw many people with devrant Stickers on their laptop! The community is spreading...

I'll just leave this here...

Developing a website for mobile feels like a pain the back to me. Can anyone recommend any good tutorials?
I can design basic sites for desktop screens but I have problem making them work for mobile. I don't know the right approach. Should I add a bunch of @media queries? Or should I use relative measures like em? It's so confusing.

A teacher who came to see if I'm programming correctly asked me to start my curly braces on a new line like
F()
{
}

because where the fuck did you learn the other version

F() {

}

" that's just wrong"

Thank you, @dfox. Now I can handle all this stress easily!

Call me Mr. Robot.
