Arghhh, rant time :|

So yesterday I completed a database migration of 167,000 products from an old ecommerce system to a new one. Everything was brought over, orders, customer addresses, everything, really chuffed :)

The only thing the client picked up on was the lack of his spammy "meta keywords" data that I intentionally did not import. I mean the tag isn't used and a list of 40 comma separated random words you'd like to rank for isn;t going to help the sites SEO on bit.

Anyway, the client is now moaning a lot and insisting I add them in. Even after I explained that the meta keywords is gone for good reasons he insists on keeping the data.

Soooo, pointless :|

(note the tags for the sake of satire :) )

Am i the only one who is so sensitive about indentation? It really pisses me off when i see code with bad levels of indentation because it completely overtakes my years of programming experience and i understand nothing. Also indentation level should be 4, not 2. Who the hell uses 2 level indentation, you don't deserve a keyboard.

Angry programmer:
YOU WANT A PUBLIC KEY?
YOU WANT A PUBLIC KEY?
*smashes keyboard*
THERE'S YOUR PUBLIC KEY

Me solving problem.

Some sort by Date, some by length, others by upvotes. But devrant's algorithm is so great it sorts by sarcasm.

Hello, my name is Adam.

I hope you're all having a good day!

Python (django) OR Ruby (rails) to learn first?

I have a feature suggestion for devrant: some kind of polling system.
This idea came into my mind with the survey a few days ago.
Since almost all of us are devs, aspiring or experienced, we can expect (somewhat) professional opinions, e.g. on how to tackle a specific problem.
Maybe it's even possible to make this a paid service somehow. I thought about this:

Open a poll for all registered users: $0
Add requirements for a user to have to be able to vote on the poll: +0.99$ each:
- has ranted at least X times
- has at least X ++s
- has a StackOverflow account connected
...

This way, the OP can narrow down the target audience to a specific group.

Maybe...? I don't know if something like this already exists somewhere else.

Step by step pathway to enlightenment.

Maybe not if you're attending a hackathon :)

After 5 hours of coding u be like...

Here we go

As an exercise lets see how many different ways we can wish devRant Happy Birthday in code. Try not to copy peoples examples, use a different language or different method.

A couple of examples to start the process:

* LOLCODE *
HAI 1.3
LOL VAR R 3
IM IN YR LOOP
VISIBLE "Happy Birthday"!
IZ VAR LIEK 1?
YARLY
VISIBLE "Dear devRant"!
NOWAI
VISIBLE "to you"!
KTHX
NERFZ VAR!!
IZ VAR LIEK 0?
GTFO
KTHX
KTHX
KTHXBYE

* C *
#include <stdio.h>

#define HP "Happy birthday"
#define TY "to you"
#define DD "Dear devRant"

typedef struct HB_t { const char *s; const char *e;} HB;
static const HB hb[] = {{HP,TY}, {{HP,TY}, {{HP,DD}, {{HP,TY}, { NULL, NULL }};

int main(void)
{
const HB *s = hb;
while(s->start) { printf("%s %s", s->s, s->e); }
return 1;
}

for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Write("Happy birthday " + (i == 2 ? "Dear devRant!" : "to you"));
}

STOP IT.
FUCKING STOP.
NO MORE "I SPENT N HOURS SEARCHING A MISSING SEMICOLON"
"I DELETED A SEMICOLON IN MY COLLEGES WORK"
"REWROTE MY CODE BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUE DELETED A SEMICOLON"
OR ANY OTHER SEMICOLON RELATED RANT'S / MEME'S.
Maybe they were funny the first time. But IT'S OVER.
If it should really happen to you, you're using the wrong tools.
If it happens to you even though you're using the right tools, LEARN to use them.
If it does happen to you after that FIND A NEW HOBBY OR JOB, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.

Thanks for your time - link this rant on any semicolon related rant.

** DOES ALSO APPLY TO MISSING BRACKETS, QUOTES, TABS, SPACES, KIDS, JEHOVAS WITNESSES, MONEY, FLYS, SOCKS, FACIAL HAIR, WINDOWS UPDATES **
