Honest, they are. 😆

Engineers in their natural habitat

Going through site after senior dev asked front end dev to go through it and tweak it for design and better responsiveness(he and I are back end oriented and have no design skillz).

Things are breaking visually on almost all devices.

Client sends an email saying it suddenly looks terrible on mobile and wants to know what happened. I let him know we were actively working on things and it should be good in a few minutes.

Looking over CSS...there are "!important" tags EVERYWHERE, media queries are in the wrong order and have "!important" attached to almost everything so the largest screen size settings win.

Why do I even bother?

You know that moment when you write a long code, then you undo many times to see something that was before, and when you "ctrl+y".......
Just happened
😒

You know you're a developer when on your machine an ".svg" file automatically opens in a texteditor...

So one of our devs committed this to master ...

Most helpful error log ever...

Job offers be like:
We need a VIRGIN with atleast 2 years EXPERIENCE of SEX...

Got a new job as UX Developer! Drinks are on me guys 🍻

QA engineers...

That's the only thing I use it for. 😂

Have you been all night programming?

A client who I freelance for just asked if they could invest in one of my side projects.

This is the best day of my programming career 😊

Do you know what I love about Oracle data types?

Nothing.

My PM refuses to use GitHub to log issues and keeps sending me Google Doc slides because she wants to add pictures. You can do that GitHub too!

They'll probably still bother us!

"An experienced developer is one who doesn't make any new mistakes, but repeats the same old ones over and over."

Should I fix this properly or just wrap it in a try/catch? hmmm

Driver: "Where to?"
Me: "192.168.1.1"

Just told a colleague that I don't own a PC, laptop or tablet for home use. Look on his face was priceless, like he couldn't fathom how I live with nothing more than a low end Android phone. I would have taken a picture but the camera app takes like two minutes to load and shoot.

How we initiate new guys...

Switched banks, got new e-banking, unable to set up a new password.

It contains invalid characters.

IT'S A FUCKING BANK ACCOUNT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE HASHTAGS OR EVEN HAVE FUCKING SPACES IN IT IF I FEEL LIKE IT.

This is what u get when u trust your teammates on a group project.
Not my fav function, but I was rofl when I saw it 😂
That is, until the frustration of working in a group kicked in

One of my favorite CS hoodies to see on campus!

Great :)

No matter how many stackOverflow threads you study or how many resources you have, experience is really what makes a very good developer

This is where everything started. I got the chance to work with actual production code. While it is very fun to work with, in some places it's also very frustrating. And this is from where, most of my rants come from.

Thank you @dfox and @trogus for making such a beautiful community.

The best part of this community is I never have to think or take time to make jokes or posts so that I can get upvotes. I've always wanted likes or retweets or reddit upvotes. But it never worked out because I have to think so much to make clever comments or posts. Most of the time, I gave up.

But in devRant, all I do is just share what's happening in my daily dev life. My frustrations, my happiness. That's all it takes. Everyone understands, everyone cares and everyone loves.

Over time, thanks to devRant, I've understood that I was part of the wrong community. This is the community that I deserve, this is the community that every dev deserves.

Thank you all. I love you. And I promise, more rants are coming :D

Especial thanks to @Yeah69 @kevbost @yarwest @tisaconundrum @Linux @donkeyScript . I have no idea why you guys all of a sudden rapidly upvoted me. Although I would love to reach 10k naturally but won't complain haha

Autocomplete in editors is like that annoying friend that keeps interrupt();ing every singletonInstance():le thing you try{}catch(Exception e)} to say, delay(1000);ing you COUNT(*)ntless of times.

I ranted about my coworker trying to shoulder surf me last week.

Yesterday, he bought a mini Monster energy drink fridge and put it under his desk.

Me: "Oh cool. I don't have to go all the way to the kitchen to raid a fridge now :-P"
Him: "I'm gonna put a lock on it."
His Boss: "You know he teaches a lockpicking class at the hackerspace, right?"
Me: *headphones back on"
