Hey everyone,

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates, happy holidays to everyone, and happy almost-new-year!

We had a bit of a slow year in terms of devRant updates, but we gained some momentum towards the end of the year and we're looking forward to carrying it into 2020. Recently, we launched what I think are our coolest new avatar items yet (https://devrant.com/rants/2322869/...) and behind the scenes we got our iOS/Android apps on the latest version of the frameworks we use, which will help us continue to improve stability. Still, we definitely would have liked to do more, but we're optimistic the coming year will bring great things for devRant.

One thing we are very proud of is this year we had our best year ever in terms of platform stability and uptime. Despite the platform growing and our userbase growing, we had almost no complete app downtime even though our infrastructure is minimal. A large part of this is thanks to devRant++ supporters, who allow us to maintain a small but effective tier of infrastructure and redundancy.

In the coming year, we're going to launch one of our most ambitious initiatives yet, and we're also going to continue to improve the devRant experience itself. We want to try to gather more user feedback, so we'll be working on a way to do that too. Stay tuned, more on this stuff coming soon.

As always, thank you everyone, and thanks for your amazing contributions to the devRant community! And thank you to our awesome devRant++ supporters for continuing to be the main drivers to keeping devRant up and running.

Looking forward to 2020,
- David and Tim

Whenever you change your Instagram username it becomes unavailable completely even tho it's not taken. Not possible to get it back after changing.

Not sure if this a bug or a feature that they intended to have in their app...

If only i could do this in a real interview... and not get kicked out...

Is anyone else hard on themselves when making a console application since it’s not as fancy as a GUI application? Idk why but I am. But like I prefer the console applications for performance and simplicity but I’m still hard on myself idk

TLDR I’m retarded

Also thanks to one of my last posts comments for clarifying it should be at the bottom

TLDR2 I’m even more retarded

:))))))

I have to say, Microsoft does a great job when it comes to wallpapers

"The customer is always right"

With an error rate of +-99.98%

Me - "Has anyone changed the password on the print computer"
Him - "It's the same one."
Me - "Carrots99?"
Him - "Yeah, what's the message that comes up?
Me - "Password is incorrect."

The dumbest conversation I've ever had in my fucking life. You little shit, I know you changed the password just to fuck with people. You've been reading too many books on elevating yourself, tried to be important for something. It means fuck all if you can't remember what you changed it to. So you held up two hours of my work, not to mention everyone else, because you can't help but stick your beak in shit. You dont think people can't see what youre doing? Watching you scurry over to the computer with a big smile, only a to fuck off silent as a mouse not to be seen mumbling some shit about a system administrator. Yeah you forgot it you prick.

Stop sucking up to the boss, and commanding people on what to do, when you're as junior as junior gets. Don't change our fucking passwords, just so you can have the whole team approach you the next day asking for you, then not remember them. You cunt.

At the conclusion of a successful dev interview:

"Don't be the first to lean in for the kiss goodbye. Make them come to you."

Anyone else getting used to seeing certain usernames in devRant? We may not have "friends" like Facebook, but is still a kick ass community 😃

Did this instead of commenting it out...

devRant Bug

The time in notifications is not updated after a new item is pushed into the list.

If you disrupt my working flow and you're not

1) On fire.
2) About to explode.
3) You're dog is dead(dogs are the shit)
4) Snoop dog is in the building

Then you're a cunt.

CLI: A programmer's dream, and a designer's nightmare.

When you write BS logic, but the code works anyways...

Time travel.

Then suddenly my boss wants me to handle servers and the environment etc... can anybody suggest me some site tutorials about Docker, Dockerhub, Celery and RabbitMQ?

Mo Features Mo Problems!

Every software should have this

... And it's only Tuesday...

Anyone else use notepad to write down quick notes and reminders?

When you find out that you can enable the mouse on Vim...

T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM anyone!?

You know things just got serious when you reach for pen and paper.

I probably need to take a day off to do the things I need to do at work.

what do you guys think

Even for the 100th time, relatable *sigh*

You know you're backend when it took you 30 minutes to program the inner workings of the platform... and 4 days to make it look pretty.

I relate to this too well

The feeling I get after finishing projects

Okay so i graduated last year and got a job working for a place that sadly disappoints me in their web development practices. This place uses a dead technology(my opinion)called Cold Fusion by Adobe. They do not use any form of version control like Git and their sites are very shitty and the design and development is implemented very poorly honestly. It honestly makes me sad that i feel like im smarter than my department vp. That being said i do not feel challenged here and am looking to collaborate in some open source projects via Github preferably.I dont consider myself an expert in this field but i would say im about intermediate level in web development. Im pretty comfortable with HTML,CSS/SASS,PHP,JS/JQuery, and im pretty comfortable in the PHP framework Laravel. So if anyone is interested in collaborating or starting something up, id be so down for it. :)
