Such a relief

To be honest, sometimes i feel like my worst career choice was to become a developer.

Welcome do London! Please mind the plugs.

O(FUCK)

So I finally did it and quit my job.
The new company seemed to be a really realy nice place to work.
And yesterday I heard that they even allow one colleague to sleep 2 nights a week in the office because rents are high and he otherwise lives far away. They even bought a sleeping couch and a washing machine for him. O.O

can't wait to start to work there!

This meme requires you to be outside of the European Union to view.

Implementing the application exactly like the client specified, because they won't listen.

Do you wanna build a fronteeeeend ?

No

My boss' superpower is observing when I'm happy and putting a stop to that nonsense.

My girlfriend knows what a coder needs when it’s their birthday. Lucky to have her. Walked into my room and it was set up like this.

okay, I promise.

True that~~

My new debug buddy, it's a Puffin! :)

I bet you all can't guess where I went this summer.

Well true

CORS sucks. That's all I wanted to say.

😡😡 JUST SHUT UP IF YOU REALLY HAVE NO CLUE😡😡

This is literally THE TYPICAL CLIENT

True story? Idk, just made me laugh

Programming

Dear diary, today was a good day.

1: i got the confirmation of promotion.
2: i solved a task using newly introduced tech and it works. Which has lots of implications on future work, a lot faster too. Also everyone is happy and supportive.
3: i felt good at the progress made with my kinesitherapy, my spine is starting to cooperate again.

Overall a good day.

Oh, and also i got payed :D

When the git blame command points to a younger version of yourself...

Friend(non dev): Hey. Do you know how much it costs to maintain an app?

Me : Well that depends. What are you planning to do?

Friend: Something like Trivago. But small.

Me: That still doesn't tell me anything

Friend: Come on. Just give a number. How hard can it be?

Me: 42. *facepalm*

Friend: See wasn't that hard. Was it?

Me: *thinking* Don't correct him. Just let him be.

Caught myself spelling name Jason as json. Send help

Nobody in IT ever smiles this much

[Update on previous rant at the bottom]

So I had the technical test last friday. I did not try to implement any automated test as it is not my forte.

I had three hours to showcase my knowledge of data structures and OOP so I did that.

The test was somewhat long actually, so I left out one part that I did not have time to implement: validation of input files.

Today I got feedback, everything went well, they liked my code and I only got two negatives: Error handling and automated tests xD

Now I'm going to the second phase: phone interviews and they are gonna asks the whys of my implementation.

I'll have to explain why I did not implement automated tests and the girl on the phone told me "they didn't like it much that you had no tests because tests are very important for us".

I guess I'll have to come clean and say that I'm not very strong on that but willing to learn, so I didn't want to risk it doing something I'm not really good at.

I hope it ends up well.

Status code: 200

The first programmers were women... cool

1. Promise anything, everything to clients
2. Set unrealistic deadlines
3. Devs can't meet deadlines
4. Blame the devs

Anyone?

I really think DevRant should change "Comment" buttons to "//" or "/**/", or something in that fashion. That would fit well with the increments and decrements :)

First day at work:
To install IDE - raise a ticket.
To get access to source control - raise a ticket.
To get access to bug tracker - raise a ticket.
To raise a ticket, I need first to connect to the intranet, but to do that, I need to raise a ticket.
AND even before that, I need a username to login to my laptop, raising a ticket is also required.
WTF?!!!

Hello community, new here! Looking forward to it. Hope you all have a great evening
