This is way too true!

A young guy I work with burst into tears today, I had no idea what happened so I tried to comfort him and ask what was up.

It appears his main client had gone nuts with him because they wanted him to make an internet toolbar (think Ask.com) and he politely informed them toolbars doesn't really exist anymore and it wouldn't work on things like modern browsers or mobile devices.

Being given a polite but honest opinion was obviously something the client wasn't used to and knowing the guy was a young and fairly inexperienced, they started throwing very personal insults and asking him exactly what he knows about things (a lot more than them).

So being the big, bold, handsome senior developer I am, I immediately phoned the client back and told them to either come speak to me face-to-face and apologise to him in person or we'd terminate there contract with immediate effect. They're coming down tomorrow...

So part my rant, part a rant on behalf of a young developer who did nothing wrong and was treated like shit, I think we've all been there.

We'll see how this goes! Who the hell wants a toolbar anyway?!

Dev confession.
Everybody in my department thinks I am a genius programmer.
I am just a better googler who knows how to apply things.

Fear this.

Happy birthday Linux. Here's your cake.

School time, programming class:
Girl: Hey, Can you help me?
Me: Sure, what's up?
G: I have an error but I don't know why
M: *looks at error stack trace* You're missing a semicolon in line 133 *puts comma, run... 27 more errors* Well, you have more issues up there, why don't you try to fix them?
G: Oh, Ok, thanks
-- 1 hour later --
G: Hey, can you come? I already fixed the other issues but I still have one I can't fix
M: *checks code, same mistake I fixed, missing semicolon, same line* Why did you erase the semicolon?
G: Oh, because if I erase it, I only have 1 error, but if I leave it, I have 27 so....
M: *turn around, walk away*

"A different error message! Finally some progress!"

How I feel when code is working

Well guess what, I was coding with a friend of mine in a café .The waiter took our orders ..glanced at our screens( We were using Linux terminals ..fucking npm I swear) and then a few minutes later the manager comes up and says - ”Sorry ,but I am gonna have to ask you guys to leave " ..We were like wtf man ? Well apparently the staff felt that we were hacking using their WiFi .. God fucking dammit..typing on terminals is not Hacking .

I know that feeling. Poor you :(

What your family thinks when you make a website

Q: "Why isn't she committing to me?"
A: "Because you are in her .gitignore list"...

The computers at my local vet clinic are suspended with eyebolts and leashes so they don't get pee'd on.

When you boot and can't remember if its F2 F8 F12 or DEL

It just hit me that 'devRant' is in camel case.

I approve.

I just wrote more than 140 char in a tweet, inspect the element and turn Enable = True on Tweet button.

The response was epic.

You know you've been coding for too long when you start an email

Hello Mr Person

Light vs dark IDE themes

I personally prefer dark and all my coworkers use light. When they ask me to look at something, it hurts my eyes just scrolling for 5 minutes on their computer.

LOL...😂😂😂

Coding essentially is an infinite loop of:
1) wtf
2) ah yea

Add sprinkles of "that should be easy" and "why did i agree on this"

Lol 😂 😂😂

Best use of stress ball

Not a rant, but that feeling when you are closing all the chrome tabs after solving a bug 😇

I find it hard to trust code school's courses when they use green as the color for error.

It's one of those days

how do functions break up ?

well, they stop calling each other😝😝😝😝
