Found this ironic piece of code in our codebase. Thought i’d share :)

Today Im gonna tell my violin tutor that I will stop taking violin. I always wanted to learn and imagined i’d be really into it but all i seem to feel like doing in my free time is code related stuff or going out. I wanted to learn violin for such a long time it feels weird that Im not into it.

What is wrong with me?

Wish we can shut down every tech product and service and start all over again. All the million dollar ideas are already realized and the only thing to do is be a rich guys employee now.

Remember how much free time we used to have in school? Like I used to play a musical instrument, binge on series, play a ton of games, id pickup random hobbies just because I can.

Being an adult is so fucking depressing I wanna be a kid again.

I was never promoted - mostly because I never stayed more than 8 months in the same company. I changed jobs so frequently that at some point an HR in a company I applied for asked me about it and thought it was not a good sign.

Deploying web apps is a bitch and a half. I need to learn how to dockerize my shit - spent all day trying to deploy a laravel app on a digital ocean instance and it didn’t even work. Wish my work ended after pushing to github.

1. God Complex

2. You can get things done with little effort. ( script or program that does personal computer chores for me, etc..)

3. Lots of $$$ opportunities if you are able to get some clients.

Any ideas for a fun discord bot project?

Im required to do a project for work in Go. Im happy about the idea of using a new language but I don’t feel like spending hours learning a new language. Is it a bad idea to just trust GoLand’s intellisense along with quick googling for syntax related questions and just code on the Go...in go?

When you finish a website for a client but dont put it online for them because they can’t find their credentials for their hosting and domain they used for the old website, they stay silent for 6 months then call to tell you that they want their money back and that you didnt finish your job. What is an appropriate reply. Like really how. I cant even express how pissed I am.

In some cases only emojis are not encoded properly - dont know how to replicate - dont know why its happening (made sure im setting to utf8)

Had a freelance client half a year ago, they called to do some edits and adding features yesterday. But i dont work im web development any more and no longer feel like doing it. What should I do. Can i just bail or do i give the their money back or whats the best course of action here?

I feel i need to be specialized in something coz everyone can code now... like u have machine learning engineers and devops/cybersecurity but im not really into either. What other sub fields are there?

I was supposed to learn go today, I’m on my way to the beach ...

I’d like to think of myself as the wake up call that devs need to know how to make their app more secure. Just played a hilarious prank on a lot of people in a new local app. I can smell the new rules the app will add to avoid people like me.

Hey guys, i made a program years back and just refactored the thing and gave it a nice GUI. I made it mostly so I can use it in my daily life which I do but now I might release it as open source and give it to some friends. But I’m facing A problem i never faced before...giving it a name. Need some help 😂

Basically, i have tons of series, so i created it to maintain a nice naming convention for the videos but obviously can work for any file list.

- it renames them in a couple of different ways (replacing string occurrences in the file names, appending - prepending strings, completely renaming it alphanumerically. Anyway I use those features most (OCD i know)

- it also grabs subtitles for movies and series (parses its way through subscene and yifisubtitles until it gets to download the zip file and extracts it for me) .

- It also plays random episodes for me when im confused what to rewatch ( just opens a random file in a directory u point it to)

So any name suggestions ?

Who of you actually like the product you work on or the company you work for? today I knew I do when a company I had applied for 7 months ago called me (fashionably late i guess) and i politely said Im happy in my current job and am not interested anymore.

If you wanna make money, you end up looking for cheap solutions so that the trouble is not worth more than what your getting so if I wanna make a website for a client ill probably puke out some php framework with a frontend theme and its done. But if you wanna do something right u wanna use the best languages with the best frameworks, like if Im making my own platform ill probably use Angular 7 with a custom frontend and maybe go or rust for backend. Do you guys find it difficult to keep up a considerable amount of knowledge and experience in using the good stuff given that 90% of ur work will be using something else thats cheap to give a client?

I hate websites like upwork and freelancer, its impossible to outbid the other applicants while maintaining a price that makes the work worth the trouble. Yet without them its impossible to find clients who are willing to pay $1k for anything no matter how big of a project it is, they keep looking for $200 solutions. Hows a developer supposed to raise some cash for a house and shit like that.

This is no meme, this is an actual customer support ticket we got :)

When I saw my company’s oh so lovely codebase.

I am loving rust. Syntax is so nice and intuitive. At least compared to go

Not dev relater but, just thought i’d ask u guys to grab a cold water bottle instead of a beer next time and just appreciate fresh water while its so easily obtainable. This wont last...

Im 22, serious question...is there a way i could make enough money to retire by 30 and live off of it until im 90? Like there has to be something if i invest in would make me not need to work anymore.

Am I the only one who wishes for a zombie apocalypse?

When I realized that web developers who learn frameworks and are skilled in both frontend and beckend development can be replaced by a 200 USD Wordpress site.

My friend makes fun of me for liking Java, php and the fact i like coding OpenGL instead of using game engines.

Where would holy devrant stand ?

The company I work in recently made a subdomain where you need to figure out how to hack the page using a vulnerability they subtly put there. If u are successful u get an interview. I looked it over for fun and was able to do it. But since i already work there i was thinking of telling a friend id love to join us but was rejected a month ago when they interviewed him about how i did it so he can apply maybe they give him another chance. do you think I should do that?

Note that i referred him last month and hes a fresh grad with not much experience

Im so pissed that my company interviewed a friend i referred and ended up hiring 3 other people just as qualified if not less instead. Really wanted to have that friend as a coworker.
