Lollll

My 6 year old has been learning about trees at school, and had questions for me. Needless to say, she now has the best understanding of data structures in her class, and I expect parents evening will be "interesting"

My friend said an intern designed this UI for an internal site.

No. Just... no

Just learned new skills...

Most hilarious bug I found in Windows 10. 😂😂😂

I put an Easter egg into a product, that if you enter the string "final countdown" into the stock code search field, it plays a YouTube vid of Europe's "The Final Countdown", in a hidden div. It's an in-joke for a few people in the company.

A well meaning maintainer with no sense of humour or judgement takes over and goes on the warpath against any hardcoded strings. The secret code gets moved into a config file.

A third developer changes the deployment script so that it clears any configs that aren't explicitly set in the deployment settings.

So the secret code is now "".

Literally every PC in the stock buying department is now blaring out "The Final Countdown" at top volume.

...Except none of them have speakers, so it remains this way for over a year and two more changes of maintainer.

I just noticed this afternoon and quietly re-hardcoded the string. The buying dept.'s PCs will silently sing no more.

😂😂😂😂😂

Why is it called RAID0?
Because the number 0 is standing for the number of files you can recover when a drive fails

Pokemon Go 🙄 Who all are addicted to this SHIT?

anybody else?

This is so ranted up 😂😂

Calculate your experience in a right way!

The difference between Front End and Back End simplified!

Then there are these guys... :p

I got called into a "personal development" meeting with the department lead, apparently my vocal and innovative cursing during coding/debugging is disruptive to the entire floor.

When your sysadmins can't script a file compare and so you do the code for them.
"Sorry but we can't run unknown code on the server"
Read the code then you vile troglodytes!

Pro tip: preserve your job by not documenting it.

I'm going to have to ask you to come in on Saturday...

Every sprint...

I wonder how many kilometers I've scrolled on devRant today

Having problems with your boot sequence? don't worry I'm here to help!

I got a urgent call from a lead dev in another department. Needed data and services and her deadline was yesterday. I never heard of it, but worked late and got it done in 2 days. Delivery success, they had cake, speeches and praised my work apparently... I wasn't invited and didn't get any cake.

Subway trolled
Hacked their printer paper roll

The client always goes like... I want the android app to look exactly like the ios app.... Am like you know these are two platforms with different designs guidelines

This physically hurts me.

Approximately 15 years ago, at school, I had one friend that learned to code in Delphi. One day he came to me and said:
Dude! I made a program that creates a 2GB file!!! (15 years ago 2GB were a lot of memory)
- What is in this file? - I asked.
- Nothing! It's just 2GB!!!
- It's fucking AWESOME!!!

Fixing a critical bug right before deployment.

When the client decides not to do a feature because he finds your estimate unreasonable, then tries to add the missing functionality as a "bug" to another feature that's already estimated.

Microsoft development team response:

You see .. You always have these corner cases 😂

Devrant is the reason I left Facebook. Why be with those shitty people when you have community of your own kind!
