I'm looking for a 'meme' / funny image from a programmer that is sitting behind his computer. A ray of sunlight is coming in and he closes the curtain.. and continues coding :)

Cheers! :D

!rant

Really happy about this one! I cannot go into details yet but hopefully will write a blogpost about it when I may disclose it :)

@dfox thank you for sponsoring our event with goodies. I think devrant gained a few Dutchies tonight. Ive also made sure @linuxxx could grab some (yea try to spot him on the picture!).

Ive been ranting a lot recently due to various tools and plugins not working as they should. lol.

At our company we where joking about how we should "fix" it, which was kinda blunt destroying it and picking something else to work with.

That gave me the little idea to make https://www.devhelpdesk.com/ which has various "topics" on how to do stuff.

Basically it is 100% satire.

If you like it, just check it out and use it ;). Ps I might be sort of buggy, Ive just build it in a few hours...

To those able to join us in the Netherlands:

So you want some devrant goodies? We are having a (IMO) cool event soon.

"Collab - Digital Agency meets Cloud Provider"

We will go into various topics regarding; automation, CI, cloud, experiences and maybe a few things about clusters / kubernetes.

Everyone is happy to join us for 2 talks, beers (and maybe pizza!).

Last but not least we are able to give a way various goodies including stuff from DevRant ;)

You can order the free tickets at https://eventbrite.co.uk/e/...

I hope to see some devrant people there and make sure to hit me up if you will attend!

ps. if you have question, just ask away!

I wrote an extension for chrome. In the last part (publishing) I got the message I had to pay 5$ for 'administration / registration' fee's... I do not own a creditcard lol :(

Anyway a friend hooked me up and payed.

It is really sad that we have to pay, it would be more logical to receive 5$ for making something in the store -,-

Wordpress does not suck. If you know how to work it.

Past period I saw so many rants on WP. My rant is that it is not 100% WP fault. Yes there are seriously structural problems in WP but that does not mean you cannot create top-notch websites.

At my work we create those top-notch WP sites. Blazing fast and manageable. Seriously we got a customer request to make the site slower because it loaded pages to fast (ea; you hardly could see you switched pages).

- We ONLY use a strict set of plugins that we think are stable, useful.
- We have everything in composer (and our own Satis) for plugins.
- We use custom themes & classes. Our code is MVC with Twig.
- In our track history we have 0 hacked websites for the past 2 years.
- Everything runs stable 24/7
- We have OTAP (testing, acceptance & production environments)
- We patch really fast

These are sites going from $15k++ and we know our shit.

Don't hate on WP if you have no clue what you are doing yourself.

That is my rant.

Packagist semi down/broken...
Fml

Cant do shit now

Always when I hear someone talking and the word JSON drops by.. I sing the prelude "jaaasonnnn deruloooo"

Would you hate me?

Thank you @dfox

Glad I could help with the .com domain!

When the initial request for the website takes 5 seconds but the server load is 0.01..
All next requests are loaded instantly.

Fml debugging this.

Ugh I'm getting so owned. Currently having a burst DDOS on a host of ours. It is always at xx:00 and xx:30 for ~2 minutes from ~200++ unique AWS instances (Ip's).

Not long enough to ban them (max 2-3 requests per IP), not general enough to ban them on the type of request.. and the IP's.. yea... It would result banning all the amazon subnets which is also not an option lol.

Now waiting I guess.. I sent an email to amazon

Ugh, ansible and yml formats. I thought to fix a small issue fast and commit it directly.. but noooo

I'm doing a migration where I have to move like 200+ old-old websites. Stuff was never touched for ages and we kinda moved it 'into the cloud' now.

So after a few sites I check graylog (where all the logs are stored) and I saw this gem:

stderr: PHP message: PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php/... Online Viagra/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

And I was like, wtf? Is this site hacked?

Ok the sadness starts now. Behold the following:

function getTinyUrl($url) {
$tinyurl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php/...);
return $tinyurl;
}

This function gets executed for the current link AND every dynamic href on the page.. EVERY pageload.

I was not even mad.
