Scalability

Teaching 7-8 year olds the basics of web design. We're we're playing with CSS and changing colours of block elements and text. One girl put up her hand, completely confused as to why it wasn't working. Her code:

Section {
Background-color: rainbow;
}

Oh the wonderful mind of children

We have a lot of monitoring screens on walls at my work... Some of them show charts... The one showing the last two months of mailbox database growth has started taking an odd shape.

Just noticed that I've been swapping the error and success messages for the past hour.... Yeah I should really go to bed now..

Who else think this is awesome

Bit Off

Boss asks me to prefer deadlines over good engineering practice. Says meeting a deadline is always more important than building things the right way.

Son, when the company goes out of business due to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses due to shoddy engineering, do you want to be the one to go to the spouses of everyone who lost their job and say "your spouse lost his job because we didn't take a few more days to build the product right"?

Son, when the company's product blows up in a child's face like a Note 7 because of your shoddy engineering, do you want to go to the funeral and tell the parents "your child died because we didn't take a few more days to build the product right"?

Fuck your arbitrary deadlines. I prefer not allowing for so much grief and suffering to be on my soul.

New official devRant web cartoon! Check it out on youtube: https://youtube.com/watch/...

Been a hell of a lot of fun making it, hope you all get a laugh!

Be like bill..

How my .bash_profile looks like after spending some time on devrant

This will always be my favourite way of seeing something blocked

UDP Joke

If your a developer please learn to program. There is no reason that this should ever be a package https://npmjs.com/package/year-now/

I'm supposed to be studying for end semester exams when I'm spending time on here laughing at life's problems we all face.

I'm officially addicted to devRant. Who else is?

I've found a bug on @devRantApp:

Some people take jokes too seriously!

As a uni student not yet into heavy projects yet @DiNozzo97 and I made a mock smart house out of MDF, put controllable rgb LEDs in each room, lockable doors (demonstrated with servos), an openable garage (also servos), and thermistors taking an average temperature of all the rooms with an air con (PC fan). All of which was controllable with a website openable anywhere, run on a Pi. Oh and we integrated a doorbell that linked to twillio that sent you a text, if you replied with a positive response the door would unlock!

I'm not really social guy... But here, in devRant if feels soo different.

100% network engineer

When you had been reloading the page like crazy and none of the changes are registering. Then you realize that you are reloading production server instead of development one. 😖

Sometimes, when you fix a bug ...

People are posting their setups so I thought I'd post this.

It's a 2012 MacBook Pro, 13 inch. I put 16GB ram and some solid state in there just so it gets the job done.

When I was a freshman in high school, my dad saw something in me that he believed in (and I didn't). He decided to put his money where his heart was. He told me that he would go out and buy me a computer, and I wouldn't have to pay him back, if I would work hard at programming to pay for my own college.

His investment payed off. I just graduated high school and started a job last week that will get me through college debt-free through the gap year that I'm taking. This machine's getting a little old, but it means a lot to me. It reminds me that my dad believed in me even when I didn't. 🖖🏼

A nerd often get to act support. I got this question about a year ago from a friend. (I've translated it into english.)

In full knowledge I'll never get an 100 1+ rant, I've made my own devRant stressball

Happy update guys)) I'm a devDaddy!!

I was playing kitchen with my niece today and we were baking a cake. After she put it in the toy oven, without thinking, I spat out:

"How long do you think it will build for?"

I've never seen such a confused look 😂

Anybody else interested in a feature to save the state/amount of "scroll" when accidentally leaving the application?

No matter how many times I learn how to center a text vertically in a div, every time I have to spend half an hour just looking for a solution

When a co-worker has a 'multi-screen' desktop. and you find he has a 4:3, a 16:9 and a native laptop screen, all different brands, and none of the screens line up...

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

When you start programming...
