!Rant

Convinced my girlfriend to learn UI/UX design. She landed her first job last week and it's a good one :)

So proud

Very noob question. I started using git/github for my classes in Python, but I dont see why is it any better than google drive or onedrive, since you can also send multiple archives and have it synced to your computer without having to "push". Why is it so popular and needed?

The rant starts here

Wikipedia says that a nerd/geek lacks social skills. They should see this amazing community, thanks DevRant :)

This is an old screen that I took some years ago and never had a good place to share...
Hope this helps someone to choose the right language :D

This is one of the best explanation I have ever seen for the difference between SIGTERM and SIGKILL.

Good java books for beginners:

Moksh Jawa's book "Decoding Computer Science A"

Herbert Schildt's book (Oracle Press)

The Litvins' book "Java Methods"

Happy birthday Linux. Here's your cake.

stop the wizard!

Me: 1 is something, 0 is nothing, NULL is the absence of things
JuniorDev: wut
Me: You've got pizza in a box, that's 1. If there's no pizza in the box, that's 0. If there's no pizza and no box, that's NULL.
JuniorDev: OOH so there's no object to reference if I ask for a slice!
Me: *small tear*

Always explain things in terms of pizza. Always.

Who wants one?

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?!
