Today we've discovered that our (western) client (or slack? we don't know yet) actively removes all messages if they contain some forbidden words.

Apparently, 'graphql' is one of the forbidden words.

Talk about censorship in the east... right...

When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.

This website is damn nice

Inspired by @COD4's rant here: https://devrant.com/rants/3080528, I decided to go overboard a bit and catalogue (almost) all my unused Humble Bundle keys.

Given that there was well in excess of 300 of them I decided a more structured distribution mechanism was needed.

If you want to see if any are interesting for you, check the repository here: https://github.com/kwilliams1987/...

I have 5 more months of Humble Monthly to do still but need a break now...

Watching the Social Dilemma. Interesting quote.

Anyone else seen it? or addicted to social media?

I'm wondering maybe because we're all tech... we sort of develop a natural immunity? or is it just me that has all social media apps' notifs turned off?

And rarely use social media... except devRant.

I still can't understand why people hate Javascript?

I've made a fun video transcribing one of the hot discussions on devRant: https://youtu.be/kL4TgNUS-9I
Please leave suggestions about what I should transcribe next in familiar format, also I wouldn't mind like and sharing! ;)

I need a help salesforce guys,
I am trying to automate Salesforce sandbox creation, then copying the client secret and key from an app and then use those credentials for some application.
Sandbox creation and deletion is done, but I am not able to get how should I fetch client credentials. I searched internet, and I only find gui method : login, select app, select view, get credentials.
At last I wrote a shitty selenium script but I don't have faith in this approach.
If anybody can give me insight, It would be great help.

A young guy I work with burst into tears today, I had no idea what happened so I tried to comfort him and ask what was up.

It appears his main client had gone nuts with him because they wanted him to make an internet toolbar (think Ask.com) and he politely informed them toolbars doesn't really exist anymore and it wouldn't work on things like modern browsers or mobile devices.

Being given a polite but honest opinion was obviously something the client wasn't used to and knowing the guy was a young and fairly inexperienced, they started throwing very personal insults and asking him exactly what he knows about things (a lot more than them).

So being the big, bold, handsome senior developer I am, I immediately phoned the client back and told them to either come speak to me face-to-face and apologise to him in person or we'd terminate there contract with immediate effect. They're coming down tomorrow...

So part my rant, part a rant on behalf of a young developer who did nothing wrong and was treated like shit, I think we've all been there.

We'll see how this goes! Who the hell wants a toolbar anyway?!

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

Product managers who breathe down your neck all day because they literally have nothing else to do with their time

uh.... No?

Wow, pretty neat, all of Stack Exchange lets you run queries against it.

Hello everyone.
So, i am thinking about where to get lists of programming languages, frameworks and softwares that is fundamental. For example:
If i would like to develop a web site. I would use html, css, js & php. Maybe a site or frameworks for reference and 'roadmap'. I want to become a good programmer.

Here's a silly side project I've been working on just for fun:
https://soundofco.de/

It "programmatically" creates sound from code (or plain text) on GitHub. I wouldn't call it music, because it sounds kind of horrible almost all of the time :D It's very simple: The length of a line defines the note to be played. Really just a nerdy bit of fun.

Unfortunately I have absolutely zero knowledge in music theory and I have no idea how to make the resulting sounds more pleasant or even melodic. If you're interested in making this better or helping out with feedback, you can find the project at https://github.com/dneustadt/...

Also feel free to share if you find anything on GitHub that makes for some decent sounds :D (I doubt it)

Okay I'm back to Dev Rant tho it still looks new and confusing sometimes, maybe because I'm new to programming world. Well I need some type of advice , I like web development, I started learning PHP (I know it an old language but it all I can help myself with, by learning). Is there any thing I'm missing? Any link on improving my skills ?

I will be glad to learn a lot from the senior developers on here . I really want to go wide into programming I'm ready for the challenges because I know the path isn't always easy!!

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone!

New to this app, and new to my PHP programer job .

Which types of projects/tutos can I do to increase my level quickly??

Greetings from France!

@C0D4 Something's wrong...

Devrant black theme is here! Thanks to @Floydian and @Stuxnet for the idea and the tag! You can also grayscale all images, for that late night devrant viewing.

Good evening programmers, IT's, devranters and memeians.

I would like to use a little bit of your collective conciousness - the hive mind if you will.

I've been working on my automation system for quite a while and I've received some exposure from non-programmers - which resulted in more questions than suggestions.

I would like to ask you guys to give me some suggestions as to what I could add to my system.. that is, if you have time..

The program in short (if you don't want to read the readme file) is an automation system scriptable in pure Lua.
It utilizes Selenium for web automations, NAudio for audio operations and Moonsharp as an interpreter.

While my tester friends say that they use it for the actual testing, I myself found it very useful in writting bots (for browser games for example).

Here's the github link: https://bit.ly/2GDu92g

Thanks a ton!

PS. Here's an unrelated image to draw your attention.

new office with an old friend :)

Aardwolf is very fun and i suggest y'all play it a bit if you're looking for better ways to slack off at work

$ telnet aardwolf.org 4000
*port 23 also works

Wan't your own personal devBanner?
Now you can have one!

We're building a powerful banner generator over here: https://devrant.com/collabs/...
The first version is up and running, still basic tho.

You can generate your own by calling this URL:
https://devrant.nuernberger.kim/api...

You'll have to replace "Kimmax" with your devrant name and the value after subtext with the extra text.

A cool domain is already on it's way!

We'll be working on a frontend and a ton of extra features to make this banner even more awesome.
If you got any nice ideas add them to the issue tracker here: https://github.com/cozyplanes/...

Have fun!
