One of my colleagues is ex-military.

As much as I respect these guys for their service, I have never experienced so much stubborn insubordination in my entire career.

Anybody else deal with these types?

Worst guy I ever worked with was a Bulgarian Web dev that had been flown over to work on a few projects to make deadlines run smoother.

He would get offended if I was ever in another meeting without him and send passive aggressive emails then refuse to contribute.

He would storm off if anyone ever criticised his slow work ethic

He went on other team members desktops without permission, under one instance running a command line ddos that the IPS logged straight away and got that person a stern meeting. The Bulgarian guy said he was using it to "learn".

He would take a camera into restricted areas, take pictures and then argue as to why he couldn't do that when security would stop him.

I squashed a bee on his arm out of reflex, he screamed at me that I'm stupid causing a room of over 500 employees to go silent and stare.

Moral of the story, fk that guy

It's also full of vitamins

Everytime I tell someone I write scripts and test security of new hardware/software, I get
"oh that's so cool, what's that called?"

"penetration testing"

*Room goes silent and wide-eyed*

I wonder how many timers, clocks, hello world's and random number generators have been created.

Ever.

How long does it take to get your CCIE?

What is it with inabhorrent arrogance plastered all over IT as a whole?

I get younger, inexperienced people telling me I'm wrong constantly, criticising my work despite them having no clue (visible from their own work standard and TTL of their projects) .
Similar from older generation, who are resistant to change and aren't even part of my team telling me I'm doing my job badly.

If I had $1 for everytime someone asked me to "fix" their slow computer, I'd be rich.

Those people who call it jif instead of gif.

A unique, very unwanted breed.

There would be so much more happiness in the world if code worked first time

Annoying IDE crashes make me want to pour coffee in my eyes

Cat life.txt | grep happiness && grep success

Null

Why is it I buy a new phone for $500, then within a year it's only worth $50 and a packet of chips?

Teaching the apprentice how to use Microsoft Word.

Faith in humanity deleted.

devRant broke my relationship.

I am being commanded to put "I love my girlfriend" in my bio to scare away all the 'women' that are apparently on here

Why thankyou Windows 10.
I appreciate that choiceless, dictatorial update restart you have kindly blessed me with.

You know what's worse than that random IDE crash?

Random WiFi crash.

Only in a parallel universe would a boss be understanding about coding and realistic about deadlines

Is LinkedIn going to ask me to convert to Windows 10 too now?

Need more stickers for my hacktop. Much more. NFC stickers too.

Everyone needs more stickers

devrant made me realise there are people out there that go through the same daily shit I do.

Thank-you devrant

The personification of a bad day:

Coffeeless.

"That guy" who always has something to say about your code that knows nothing about code

Imagine if all the devs came together in the world?

WORLD DOMINATION BABY

Best tools for coding and why?

>World War 3 outside
>Calls boss
Me: Can't come into work today, I died
Boss: This is going against your monthly performance review.

Devrant is the only social platform made to recognise the world's hidden heroes, us.

When they say they need you to finish the project quicker but they ain't paying you quicker

Why is stuff like this on a Tech page?!

Why can't we ever have a page, or a business account, or whatever to follow for tech news without about 3 shit posts/advertisements for every 1 interesting one?
