I know it's a bit old. This is just a heads up to javascript newbies.

Is anyone else noticing an increase in rants / stories that are clearly bullshit.

I think the community is garnering a lot of fantasists who are detailing scenarios they have imagined, in some bizarre attempt to impress people.

Honestly if the StackOverflow community was set on fire and I had a huge tank of water

People in Africa wouldn't die from thrist anymore.

Actual conversation:
- Vim has weird commands. For instance, you copy by typing "Y".
- Why?
- Correct.

Cheese and crackers this is the worst code I’ve ever seen... i hated visual basic before but when it’s written by incompetent devs it’s 1000 times worse. Brb going to go tear my eyes out before trying to debug this shit code.

It’s frustrating when an issue is so much bigger than you can control and people in IT that should understand don’t get it.

By looking at our source code, I see what makes a bad programmer. I see "invalid data" in error logs, guess which of the following 3 conditions caused this:

function somefunc() {
if(condition_1) {
throw "invalid data"
}

if(condition_2) {
throw "invalid data"
}

if(condition_3) {
throw "invalid data"
}

return some_response;
}

I hate CSS with passion.

I code
Therefore
I rant

Do not touch my screen.

DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH MY FUCKING SCREEN.

Down with Helvetica code blocks in devRant!

When you write something inside `these quotes` in Telegram, it gets rendered in a monospace font.

Most difficult thing to do in life every night:
- close devrant
- turn off WiFi
- go to sleep

"Lenna" කෙල්ල නම් අහංකාරයි

ඇස් දෙක නම් නිලාංකාරයි

I've been in the programming world for like a year and a half. I've had relatively notable achievements - first place at hackathons, completed kinda remarkable projects, I even got to teach programming to interns at a leading communications company in my country. However, I still feel like a beginner. I'm not confident enough to contribute to projects. Maybe it's because I'm self taught, but is this common? When did you feel like you were ready to proceed to the next level?

Whatever you do, NEVER EVER use lame commit messages like "updated". Your future self will thank you.

Farting in a coworkers cubicle while he had headphones on and quietly walking away.

My worst dev sin is not throwing people under the bus, even when they deserve it.

Literally or metaphorically? I'll leave that up to the imagination.

I believe my second-worst sin is my tendency towards perfectionism. It's hard to finish projects quickly if everything has to be nearly perfect. I still make deadlines, but this is due to overworking, thus leading to burnout.

I could relax more if only I sacrificed my principles...

My wife: “Commit, then come to bed.”

Girl: I want to be your girlfriend. Would you let me?
Boy: No
Girl: Why?
Boy: const, not let

Having a non-technical boss is the worst thing that will happen to any developer.

Vim is love, Vim is life 😂

People who make web apps scare me...

Too deep for me :(

Why programmers like UNIX:
unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, umount, sleep

Came across a picture of one of my old projects from college. This still sums up my code today...

alias gcc='echo "gcc: fatal error: Input file not found: "

Now have fun watching your victim struggle.

It runs, fuck everything else!

Go Home, You're Drunk.

Just realized that I haven't used Math.ceil() for years.
