Unnecessary optimizations everywhere

Designer - *showing an animation made with after effects* Lets add this really cool animation in our website

Me - Actually that will be very difficult with plain CSS. We will have to use some heavy animation libraries, and we don’t have that much time for the project.

*next day*
Designer - Found a better animation
*shows another animation*

Me - *awkwardly* This is more difficult to implement than the previous one

*next day*
Designer - What about this one
*shows yet another difficult animation*

Me - *ashamed and questioning my skills* ummm....

Designer - you know what, just add fade-in-out

Thanks Git 😁

There's 2 type of people 😂

Starting a new job tomorrow, old job was a software engineer working on mostly PHP with some mild Java stuff, tomorrow it is Java Spring Boot backend work. Should be an exciting change of pace

So I dyed my hair blue and now I'm waiting to get 300 ++s so that I can dye my hair blue on here too 🐟

Hi there fellas,

I'm new to devrant and I'll like to share with you my first story.

It was my first payed job. A good friend of mine (media designer in print) called me "My customer needs a website, do you think you can do that?"
At this time I've never build a single page, so my answer was "Of course, easy-peasy".
She told me it was a family business and a nationwide player in finance sector.

I met the CEO, did my research and build a prototype. Well, the CEO and his staff liked it so I finished the website and prepared for the first review.

I booted the laptop and tried to connect to their network. There was none. They just never had a wireless connection not a single cable in the entire office. That was the time I realized that I work for a family business.
The CEO was an ancient guy who probably saw Jesus Christ hanging on the cross in personal and internet is weird thing controlled by the devil himself.

I took the laptop and went over to the CEOs personal office, plugged the network cable out of his Computer and into the laptop. Finally I could show them what I've done.

He took a look at it and called for his assistant. "Might you print that website for us?" That was my second wtf moment.

The assistant returned with a half chopped down and bleached rainforest that contained an image of their new website.

I tried to tell him that a website on paper can't show him the functions n shit, but he looked at me like I was talking two foreign languages at once.

So we reviewed the website on paper and his one and only problem was the size of the letters. "I can't read it well, please make the text bigger" At this moment I wanted to hit my forehead on the table and tell him that it is normal to have readings difficulties when you are walking the shores of Styx.

At the end everything went well, but I realized that dealing with customers is a lot more difficult than developing something for them. The future should prove me right.

That's it.
My first story about my first job.

Thank you for reading 😊

Every. Freaking. Monday.

yeh 👆👆👆👆😊

And thus another 365 days have passed and here we are. Woooh! In celebrations of the age++ I gave my little avatar his own cake while I now enjoy my own. Cheers!

Been looking around ways to improve devrant's user experience a little, Idk whether you guys like it or not.. Just a suggestion 😂

Devrant take some inspiration from the folks at stackoverflow and start providing a definitive guide to ranting ... Just saying

Le JavaScript~

Back-end developer assigned a front-end task be like:

Sometimes I wonder if I'm truly a good programmer, or if I can just google things better than the average bear.

when your function finally works, but output is different than expected

How is it that every one in my age (23) with same ambitions as me has already many years programming experience ? Anyone got an example of a programming genius starting around my age without being a natural talent ? Even worth the hustle to compete with these brains or will I allways stay behind in the real hard world of good earning devs ?

I’m on the bus going to my first day at a new internship as a embedded C developer. Feeling very excited abou it .

McDonald's starts it's arrays at zero.

Yeah 😄😄

Tips for people new to programming

1. Start counting from zero
2. Trees are upside down, root's probably at the top
3. Warnings are usual, go rogue!

What more? 😂

Pms .
Enough said.

Took the day off. But as I got bored, started working again 🙄
Those dilemmas!

That moment when someone tries to destroy your career but gitlab has your back 😘

I found a better solution than taping over your webcam:
Not using the shitty inbuilt screen in the laptop.
And if you need tape, use BLACK TAPE, because who wants a glow in the dark yellow rectangle above their screen...

Oh yes...

Old but gold.
Propably a repost... meh.

No, thank you, you nice little app. If you wanted to call someone to find out the weather, I think I can do it myself.

I think I am tired.

I almost did a switch-case on a boolean.

Best 404 page I have ever seen 😊
