This is like..... Spot on. 😂

Cassandra doesn't currently support deleting data by ranges (ex. someidkey < 100). Arrghhhhgh

"Working with legacy code that hasn't been touched in 2 years is fun!!" said no one ever.

Long, laptops closed meetings are needed sometimes, but they still make me sad :(

Absolutely loving the Slim 3 PHP framework. It's extremely simple, fast, and easily extensible. And nice use of dependency container.

Coming from Splunk to Sumo Logic, so far I haven't found anything I like about Sumo Logic. It's slow and constantly tries to limit you. Splunk is expensive but I can see why now.

At an expensive Apache Spark training class. For hands on portion you use their system. When everyone logged on, their system couldn't handle the load. First they blamed the hotel wifi (even though every other site was running perfectly) and then they blamed AWS. It's clearly an issue with their system. It's ridiculous to not be honest with a room full of developers who know what's up.

Ready to finally deploy and... merge conflict :/

When an estimated 2 point ticket turns into an 8, arghghghhgh

MailChimp has decided to effectively kill the Mandrill service... Time to spend hours moving to a new outgoing email provider 😭

I hate it when I don't have all the requirements or they are fuzzy and I'm asked to estimate the task/project.

I really hate it when online sources aimed at educating people looking to get into programming attack specific languages. I'm ok with them recommending some good starting languages (ex. JavaScript, Python, etc.) but I find it extremely inappropriate and damaging when they list languages they consider "bad." Languages like JavaScript, PHP and Java constantly get called out even though they power a huge chunk of the web and services hundreds of millions of people use every day. IMO it's a huge disservice to tell beginners not to even look at these languages. We should be teaching the language isn't really what's important - it's what you build with it.

Debugging a system error with a good team of fellow developers/devops people is fun.

We had an issue on Friday where we were getting a pretty cryptic error in our error reporting system. A couple of developers and I got together with a couple of devops people and we worked it out well as a team and figured out a pretty complex issue in a reasonable amount of time with everyone playing a solid role.

Nobody tried to steal the show and everyone listened to each other's ideas on what the problem might be. Through and through a great debugging session and made me think about bad ones and good ones I've had in the past.

Having to check a 5,000 line PR makes me sad :(

Today I was talking about merge conflicts with a group of devs. One of them asked if any of us had ever rushed to merge a PR before another dev could merge their PR, knowing there were going to be conflicts. Some were more ashamed to admit it than others, but in the end everyone was guilty of doing it at least once :)

Anyone ever do that to avoid being the one who has to resolve a conflict?

Poor Jennifer Null :/ http://gizmodo.com/it-really-sucks-...

I'll mail a brand new devRant squishy ball to the first 5 people who make a devRant-related tweet (including @devrantapp) in it and link to it in a comment on this rant. Go!

The TSA might have paid $1.4 million for the app demonstrated here: https://youtube.com/watch/... (they claim they "only" paid $47,000). Either way, seriously?????

A huge congrats and thanks to trostik for being the first devRant user ever to hit 1,000 points! He has provided countless laughs through his awesome posts and memes and was one of the earliest devRant users. Cheers buddy 🍻 (real beers if you're ever in the U.S. or we're ever near you 😀)

Congrats to localhost for being the second devRant user ever to reach 1,000 points! I've greatly enjoyed his awesome posts and I know a ton of other people have too! Thanks for the laughs/great convo and I'm looking forward to an NYC meetup in May :)

My reaction when GIFs came out on devRant update

When a random recruiter texts you an irrelevant job posting instead of spamming your voicemail or email like they usually do...

devRant was featured in a really awesome article on TNW (The Next Web). Please check it out and share it around. Thanks! http://thenextweb.com/apps/2016/...

What a time to be alive...

NYC meetup reminder! If you're in NYC, don't forget about the meetup tonight! It will be a great opportunity to meet fellow devRant users and he founders. We also have a few squishy balls to give out :)

We're meeting at Stout NYC (midtown). All the details here: https://www.devrant.io/meetup

You can email me at david@devrant.io with any questions.

Looking forward to seeing some devRanters there!

We had a great 1st devRant meetup! Thanks for coming guys!

In case anyone was wondering if Apple ever actually tests updates during review, they do. Sometimes, apparently, they also use devRant with the provided test account. Hopefully their rant/comment quality improves, but they are trying!!

Hey everyone! We just found a post about devRant on Hacker News that is trending! It would help us out a lot if you could vote on it, thanks! https://news.ycombinator.com/item/...

Tonight I was getting ready to pay my monthly apartment maintenance bill so I Googled my property management company's name because I always forget the url. It's always the first result, but I noticed Google placed a little "This site may be hacked." line of text on their listing.

Seeing that before and knowing what it means, I went into the source for their index page, and to my suspicion, their WordPress installation was hacked with the standard invisible spam links.

I realize this happens to a lot of WordPress blogs, but this is an NYC property management company that is responsible for a lot of buildings and has millions of dollars in contracts. Normally I would inform them, but having dealt with them in the past I don't like them very much, but more importantly, I don't think they'd understand what I was saying because they are so technically inept. They might even think that because I found this, that I had something to do with it.

So devRant, it is up to you. What should I do?
