That moment when you make a bug fix on your local dev deployment and keep refreshing PROD web page hoping to reflect the change.

Got the Auth0 authentication flow working after 2 days. Time to celebrate!!

Who else is fed up of memes on Facebook like 'She was upset because I didn't talk to her. She didn't know that it was because I missed a semicolon in my code'

Really?? WTF compiler do you use dude? Because of such shitty memes, couple of my non-dev friends asked me how frequently I miss the semicolon in my code?! I said never because:
1. I am not a dumb coder to compile my programs with any syntax errors.
2. Even if I do, I fix it in a minute.

:| WTF really! These dumbheads don't make memes on bugs.

Turned on a feature in production a full day before it was supposed to go live.

@dfox can we please add an optional 'vote' option in rants? :D It would be fun to check the preferences of people for different things.

e.g. How do you pronounce 'git'?
1. Git
2. Jit

How about if DevRant showed HTTP response code message corresponding to our DevRant score? :P

Wish installing a Vim plugin were as simple as installing an Npm package. Yet another time when I try to learn Vim. :|

I started with a UI automation scripting language AutoIt (back in ~2005, I was 12 years old then). You can call methods like MouseMove etc. You can also copy files, send keystrokes and bunch of other stuff. (https://autoitscript.com/site/...)
Created an executable using that which will have an icon of a folder named 'Games', which, once opened, will copy itself to system32, add registry entries for launching itself on subsequent startups, would replace windows startup sound file by my favourite song, look for attached USB devices and copy itself to those, if found.
Soon, all my friends' PCs were singing my favourite song on boot.

A faster, better YouTube they said, 'YouTube needs permissions to Contacts, Location, SMS, Microphone, Device ID and information', they said. :/

I'm good with a slower, worse YouTube.

I had thought of creating a rant post declaring my current upvotes score and I'd challenge people to change my score, there would be an app that would continuously monitor my score and update the rant post with the latest number, but sadly, you can't keep on editing the post a certain time after it was posted. :(((((

Well, since I have a perfect 100 reputation, anyone would like to disturb that number?

Many of you must have seen this, but still, this shower has lot of GitHub contributions.

When you break functionality while doing fixes for keyboard accessibility :/

Add random console.logs which end up filling the console on Production
