So a web developer is driving home from work when his girlfriend phones him. She says her sister can't log into Windows anymore even though she didn't change her password!

What happened?

Every last 2 hours of the workday my colleague who has plenty of sleep, his headphones on and a very comfortable life, yawns and sighs really loudly and it pisses me off.

It's as if his lack of interest transpires in his breathing.

Holy fuck Microsoft I love what you are doing to Github. Where's the catch?

Gaslighting not what it sounds like

Last week I finally deleted my Twitter account. DevRant has succeeded where Twitter deeply failed me: in providing good laughs, a friendly community, a less popularity-biased algo, and interesting content. I kept it for promotion just in case I'd ever get around to publishing a blog regularly, but even if I eventually do, I no longer give a **** about Twitter.

Today I came up with a politically inappropriate wordplay:

Crimea river

Need opinions: When your knowledgeable colleague backend-developer chooses 1,2,4,8,16 as enum values instead of 1,2,3,4,5 (for roles associated with permissions, which may be cumulatable) in order to be able to do bitwise operations, is it a sound decision for this scenario? Is it a best practice, just as good, or pedantic?

I want to master bitwise but have a hard time grasping such operations as quickly as logical ones.

Does anyone have dual boot Linux/ Windows and also have problems with the slow-ass periodic updates Windows shoves down your throat, needs to do multiple restarts for, but gets stuck at the grub bootloader?

It's really annoying the next time you need your PC quickly you're forced to standby for 2 hours.

When how bitwise operators work suddenly seemed logical, until the next time it didn't.

I answered this question on Stackoverflow (Javascript) and I tried very hard not to lose my cool in the comments below: https://stackoverflow.com/questions..... How can you not see this?

A couple years ago my now ex-colleagues pranked the lead dev for being nitpicky about the importance of the story post-it wall in the agile process.
His desk was like this the next morning.
Needless to say, he was pissed and we had a good laugh :D

Pleasure to do dev work with you again after a 2-year break, dear Windows. You are still the capricious little prick you used to be

Doing dev work in Belgium in an office without air conditioning and a
room temperature of 38°C (100F).. just impossible to focus.. in the car I almost burnt my fingers using the steering wheel and gear stick. Some of you guys have had similar experiences (temp? Location?), for me it's a first..

1. Purpose: Being at the forefront of discovering how and helping to automate business processes in all domains and learn about "how things work"
2. Relative autonomy
3. Mastery (of languages, concepts, methods)

TIL the CSS attr function copies the attribute's input to the pseudo-element's content, awesome! (thank you medium.com devs)

Sadly no VSCode icon theme for Chuck Norris fans yet

Amazing supermarket for customers, but the worst company to consultants:

- You have to badge in-out using wall-mounted computers running a MAINFRAME app using number and F keys to enter your times.
- They have an internal mailing system that they dubbed 'Notes' because making 'Mails' available to all superiors would be breaking privacy law.
- They won't let you work 1 day from home when there's a national public transport strike and you have no way of reaching the office.

Vote for a pre-order queue for devrant mouse pads. They're always sold out =(

It's time for a lame-ass pop reference

Happy-creepy coffee

I suck at DevOps at least as hard as I'm good at front-end/UX. I found out as a result of the local job market starting to get needy for 'full-stack'. Stuck for 2 days on setting up a Docker/ Dockerhub/ DigitalOcean/ Bitbucket pipeline with Nginx/ Node/ MongoDB Cloud & Webpack/ React.

*Sigh*

The night before I had an oral exam about history of Communication Studies at university, I was too excited about learning PHP (ikr, that was 5 years ago). I mailed the professor an apology and stated the real reason I would skip this exam. When I still showed up at 9 in the morning without having slept, he told me "that's the most honest mail I've ever had" and gave me a 2/20 for showing up. (At the third exam period I studied it properly and got an 18/20)

The search engine that understands programmers. Way to go, Duck Duck

Unpopular opinion: I actually enjoy writing HTML/CSS, the only frustration I have with the latter is lacking browser support

devRant, devRant, you're my devRant.
And, baby, you can turn me on - turn me on, darlin'!

I studied Latin for 6 years in high school.
A dummy text is the link between my education and my job

My kick-ass merch from JapanCon Brussels (Nov 2018): a Yoda doormat, TallGeese Gundam Wing model, Pulp fiction displate, AND in front of it A 3D-PRINTED PICKLE RICK OMG CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!! xD

Imagine in the future a sponsored tweet "Dear followers, I am no longer among you. This message was posted by my heirs, who accepted the terms and conditions of my will, which included letting my followers know in case I'd no longer be here. Get yours too with Buffer (https://buffer.com/)".

That would be the pinnacle of capitalism

Apparently the standard "pack" of applicants for a job is at least 100 people, how else can you only be in the top "2%"? If there's only 2 applicants, your fingers (typing skills?) are in the top 2%, and the rest is in the upper 48.

All of that just to say it would have been better worded as 2 in 100 people than 2% =).
