Hey guys!
Just joined devRant! Can't wait to get more involved!
Bored in the lockdown, I built an app which lets you chat with people around you.
Its called Cyrcl!
Built in over ~40 days, I was the sole developer.
Here is the tech stack - React native for the android and ios apps, mongodb and redis for the database, nodejs for the server and aws ec2 for the hosting!
I'd love to get some feedback, or discuss some of the hacks!

Fuck me sideways, it took me so long to figure out what caused a certain bug. Thanks python
>>> list = [[0] * 2] * 2
>>> list
[[0, 0], [0, 0]]
>>> list[0][0] = 1
>>> list
[[1, 0], [1, 0]]

Say hi to my new code/debug buddy.
It'll help me to solve complex issues with his big brain.

So this story is from my University days. I was in the 6th semester back then, studying CS.

My University website was pretty shitty. Basically it was one of those old ass website that said "Best viewed in IE8". Anyway, I was snooping about the website, trying to find some news regarding an event.

I logged into my account, and randomly browsed into the leave request portal. This was a basic HTML form where students could apply for leaves from the classes and see the status of the leaves, if they have been granted or not. I noticed that the link to the request portal from the student login welcome page was actually something like http://univ.com/student/index.php/..., here 1234567 was my student ID. Yep, it was hardcore into the page, and sent as a GET request on being clicked. That was their idea of authentication I guess. I change the student ID to someone else's, and it let me login as that person.

Long story short, I wrote a little python script to login as every person from the starting of student IDs, till the end, then submit a leave request with a random dumb reason like "can't come, at the strip club" or "going for sex change operation". What I did not know was that when a request is submitted, a text message is also sent to the student's guardians phone number. I ran the script.

That day, over 1000 parents received text messages from the University saying that their kids have applied for a leave from random date to random date for some retarded reason. It was a blast. Students were talking about how someone had "Hacked" into the system.

my inspiration😂

Not mine. But it's funny

Just a normal day on devrant 🤷

(not mentioning of course non dev related sick comments)

Compile time error

I would love to see a “How It’s Made”-style TV show about software projects. With the narrator and everything.

- I see a question on StackOverflow
- I write a detailed answer, providing a working code and showing a gotcha
- Another user, 1 minute later, answer saying "try this" and append a code which is like mine
- He gets upvoted and I don't

Prepare to get your MIND BLOWN:

They have successfully got Windows 10 ARM to boot on a Raspberry Pi 3 with a hacked UEFI firmware!

Take that Windows 10 IoT!!

"Work for me", client said, "I won't pay you but you will get some reputations for working with us" he added.

"Sorry, my body can't digest reputation", I replied.
