They removed the coffee machine from our floor.

Mother fuckers.

Job application asked if I have experience with difficult customers and needing to repeat concepts in different ways.

How many people in the vast field of computers and technology HAVEN'T experienced this?

I'M STARTING GRAD SCHOOL!!!!! I'm so excited I can't think properly. I started screaming in Latin and German mixed with English because I couldn't remember enough words in any one language to express myself, and I'm still certain I was incoherent.

Doing cybersecurity and forensics because I hate having a social life 😎

I might actually quit. I'm within weeks (Army-stupidity pending) of working remote and not having to interact with my boss face to face, and I might quit.

2 week long call, everything I suggested was turned down/dismissed by him. Turns out, the second thing I suggested may have resolved the issue... After he decided he was going to take over the call.

While I was on the call, he ran the coffee maker, the kettle, banged his dishes around in the metal sink, and honestly tried to create as much noise as humanly possible, as he does for all my calls. I have multiple signs up requesting people be considerate.

He works for a different company, so I can't call HR, and I'm at the end of my patience.

I joined ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) when I helped my friends found out school's chapter.

I haven't had time to explore all it offers (other than free access to books I'm using for my certs), but I got an email saying they elected Cherri Pancake as President and I can't stop laughing. I feel a bit bad for the lady, as she may have had no say in her name (if it's her maiden name), but it's a wonderful name that makes me happy.

I wasn't the brightest when I started with computers...
I had one in my room for homework and such (an old one that mom had for work and then upgraded to a laptop).

It ran SO FREAKING SLOW and didn't have Internet (I was maybe 6, no need to pay AOL anymore than we already did).

I had a floppy disk that said" Quicken" on it... Brilliant little 6 year old me thought that JUST BY INSERTING the floppy, I could speed my computer up. Not by installing THE FINANCIAL SOFTWARE, just by putting the floppy in the drive...

I've come a little ways since then...

Note: I accidentally installed it and thought I was going to break my computer because I couldn't uninstall it (pulling the floppy out obviously didn't uninstall it)... All my experience prior to this was watching my teacher use Mac at school

I hate printers. I dream of the day they become fully obsolete.

Our HUGE database RAC failed Monday, postponing career defining exams for husband... Have been paranoid they'd go down again all week...

HE PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE GOING TO GERMANY IN JUNE AND HE SURVIVED A YEAR OF LEARNING ARABIC!!!!! ❤❤❤

And, it only took 15 minutes for me to figure out the fix; just wish my teammate had done so in the 5 hours he was on the call...

It's 0416... Too damn early to fix broken things. This particular team needs to fix their stuff for good, not keep having us out bandaids on their problems

5.5 hours in... No progress. Have actually gone negative progress...

8.25 hours and I have 45 minutes left until qa joins...

I can't wait to move. This application team sucks

I hate being on call when all directors and c-suite are unable to work because their systems went down.

At least they trust me and let me work. It's just stressful.

Broken app is broken again. This app is broken so often and so hard, I'm struggling to give a damn.

These fuckers need to take their shitty project, code and managers especially, and launch them into Mars

They blame us and everyone else for their shit and I'm done with it. I need to sleep and not have these fools call me at all fucking hours.

Broken app's cousin (they do similar things are share devs) is now broken again too.

On two calls at once. Yay.

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE REPLACED

Hey everyone :D

I've been working on an medieval fantasy MMORPG called The Immortal Rift with a small team of developers from all around the world and we plan to start a closed beta before going on Early Access on Steam next month.

So I finished the pre-registration page a few days ago and I'd like to invite any of you that have some time to try it out :D

https://theimmortalrift.com

https://theimmortalrift.com/closed_...

It would be nice to hear some of your feedback on it and I would be glad to see you in the beta too :)

Thanks for your time :)

PS. If you decide to come and give it a try, you can see me around with the name Necrogizer :)

Got a new deck of cool cards for me, my brother and a friends for their birthdays 😁
Thanks for your rant @BambuSource long time ago!

PS: Look at my cool Yu-Gi-Oh!-Desk 😜

Welll!!!!

One of my teacher liked this tweet

I'm wondering if it is a hidden message for some of our teachers 🤔

!rant, but you're my friends and I want to share my day...

We've had a problem open since last March (before I started), but our teams identified the issue with the customer's code 2 years ago. No one made progress on it until I took it over. The newest version deployed 3 months ago and has no memory leak. I closed out oldest problem today.

On a personal note, I got quotes for my dj and photographer for my wedding next month, and the price for both is what I would've been willing to pay for one. My wedding was supposed to be very inexpensive, with these and my bartender being the most expensive parts, but due to unfortunate events, my wedding is 4x the cost (have to use a venue, backyard unavailable, which changes ALL my plans).

"oh, that's not bad. Only 17k emails"

I need to rethink my life...

I actually had the strangest nightmare last night.

So I was working on a program for someone and lots of things went wrong. First of all, the semicolon button wasn't working, so I panicked and grabbed another keyboard but there was no semicolon button.

I had to copy and paste the semicolon instead. Next, there was a bug, and I couldn't figure out what caused it, so I went on stack overflow... Guess what? Stack overflow was shutdown. Unable to fix the error, I somehow caused more.

I decided to take a break and leave, but upon my return, I forgot what the program did. It was as if someone else had written it. I was simply ignorant enough to forget the comments.

After a hellish day of working on it, the person who wanted me to create the program decided to test it out. They tested it on an old version of IE.

Strangest nightmare I had this week.

My view. Where I only have WiFi (barely) and can't receive calls. Unplugging again, but thought I'd share

!dev_related
I invited my boyfriend to go and have a drink after (his) work instead of me going to bed and being asleep when he gets home. So now he's drunk and off to bed and I'm up feeding the cat. Still no sex for me :(

On a call. On Christmas. Because someone forgot to turn a few servers.

She said yes :D

Ignore the 99 at the bottom... The notification bubble on my home page says 112...

Happy whatever the fuck you celebrate.

These are the heroes that devRanters need...

My fiancé gave me and my son this for December!! She gets me❤
