my cat is sleeping on my lap... perks of homeoffice, but also kind of a hindrance to work

Most deadlines we get are unrealistic... but not in the sense you think. I get to do a task and you can bet that the deadline they tell me at that point is not gonna be the real deadline because they will keep pushing it into the future. Happens in projects with many stakeholders...

I haven't been here for a long while but I wanted to peek in because of the dev ducks, cause I thought they would be a great gift for someone and now I found out they're sold out - my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

But now I decided I'm just gonna buy. a rubber duck and DIY it.

Hmm I wish I had some intuition when it comes to software architecture I guess. Being able to pick the right patterns and understanding what I'm doing.

Why do I get the urge to do 3-4 side projects just when I don't have time for neither of them and when I had time to do them I was just doing nothing all day...

Instructing a newbie in programming is like trying to teach someone backwards logic.

In software architecture definitely my own architecture in a programming project for uni
In building architecture the recently "modernised" Park Inn hotel in Bratislava 😅

Peopleee of devRant!
It's been a year, I missed the date

I got to know lots of people, it has been an interesting year... certainly
Thanks anyways
To every ++er, to the people I now call my friends

I'm still a student at uni, still bad at stuff, still an embarrassing mess, it is best to not mind me hehe

I'm not a dev, but the laziest thing I do is probably not programming at all or just copying stuff without much thinking... just not really trying

Hello there devranters, long time no see
I have a question for all the computer scientists and students out there. Do you have book recommendations especially for the maths part? I'm in the process of buying some books, they're very expensive but if I'm going to buy they might as well be useful books.

I noticed that I frequently notice patterns in my ++ count
I may have a slight obsession with numbers. There are too many screenshots with numbers in my gallery
This is also kind of an evolution of my avatar and my ++ count

I avoided answering this question because I had no motivation to answer it.

That explains things huh? I don't know how to deal with low motivation. I just try to let it pass which never happens. Or switch to other things I'm more motivated to do.

I guess most of the things I do are a bad dev habit?
From not commenting stuff to commenting in German to copying stuff without looking at it, procrastinating a lot, not starting at all, bad naming of variables, bad... Everything? Idk, I have a lot to learn

I guess the best advice for me at least is to don't be afraid to ask for help

I just overheard a conversation in my uni and I'm horrified.
They want to use Comic Sans as the main font in the app they're going to develop
I hope I just imagined this

"How to use sudo? Can you give me an example?"

Everything.

Some of these things have been probably mentioned already in some way, but I'd like to add my two cents nevertheless
I grew up in Germany and have been in the German school system for my whole "school career" and what I always missed was a computer/programming related subject. (A real one, not this thing where they teach how to use MS Office) Something that would have pushed me a bit more into this world of technology and programming way earlier, because I didn't know which possibilities I had. It doesn't happen often that I think that something is better in Slovakia but I have to say that in Slovakia they are teaching CS in standard schools from the age of 11or 12 I think. I don't exactly know what they teach there, maybe it's shit, but it's something at least. I know that most people swear on teaching themselves programming and all but there are people like me who struggle with that.
Then of course I'd like to see the teaching get better. They should teach the useful stuff and focus on practical experience.

My most successful project was the uni project I had to do and it made me pass the subject hahaha, not that that would count as a real project :/

Okay this was rather depressing...
I should finally start doing something on my own

I really can't remember, but what I can remember is that we had this little kids computer which had the alphabet on it and whenever you pressed a letter it would get pronounced and that's the story of how I learned the English alphabet before I went to school.

Whaaaa

Did I find your lost twin, Andi?

something's wrong ...

Is it only me or are many cs students left-handed?

I know exactly who will like this pink accent 😏
I like this devRantron update :D

The time has come
I need to use this app to be productive again

Finally learn how to program

A friend sent me this in the morning:

“By convention, type names such as String or Int (or Dog or Cat) start with a capital letter; variable names start with a small letter. Do not violate this convention. If you do, your code might still compile and run just fine, but I will personally send agents to your house to remove your kneecaps in the dead of night.”

Discord is down or idk what's happening but it's driving me mad ...

So we were out celebrating the 18th Birthday of a friend and the conversation drifted to mobile phones and some people were seriously asking why someone who can afford it doesn't choose an iPhone and why her brother chose the Google Pixel over the iPhone because apparently iPhones seem to be the best phones for these IT people
