I bought a System76 laptop. They're headquartered in the same city where I live. In the "special instructions" section of the checkout process, I put, "I'm buying this because Apple took away my escape key."

This note came today.

Don't even say your initial time estimate/guess out loud. It will probably become your deadline, and you probably assumed that most things would take a reasonable amout of time.

Bonus: Try to get onto projects that you think you can get interested in. Once on a project try to keep interested in it's success.

Take one day a week for side / non-priority / experimental projects.

Actually getting paid sufficiently for what you do. That would make it tons of fun.

This is not mine, but I found it funny so wanted to share !

I challenged my girlfriend (and myself) for the FizzBuzz thingy. I did it in js (because I suck at js) and she in Java. I never saw such a way to write FizzBuzz. Turns out she forgot there is a thing called modulo operator.

I know there are more elegant ways to solve it! Feel free to post your favorites.

Think I finally finished the header section of my portfolio site :) It's starting to come together.

Angry Developer's advice to fresher

Try not to use floating point numbers in places where precision is important. Like for instance, money. Always store the base value where it makes the most sense

Found this on fb.

What do you think?

Why do I create free services (at least free for now)?

Because one of my biggest dreams is to create a service which will be used by many many people.

A man can dream, right?

So a few of you devranters were asking if my devrant-widget project was open source.

Well I finally felt confident enough to share my devrant-widget project on github so a link is now available :) I'm pretty new to the open source community so go easy on me xD but I think this project could do some good.

Its just a simple widget I wrote in php this past week that pulls your profile data and the widget can be customized a little via json configuration.

Anyways, feel free to use it in your projects, make suggestions or contribute to the project if interested.

What the Duck is this ?

Seems strange but it's true.

(another) Russian roulette for devs

$jobs -l
[1]+ 642 python .....etc

$sudo kill -9 642

.... other commands here

arrow up...arrow up... (looking for jobs -l)... got it.
arrow up...

$kill -9 642
F*uck! (i remember that i have not changed the pid)
kill: no such process (luckly no damages)

anyone killed something relevant making this mistake?

Changing your code while running it. 🤦

When you get high on validation

I created a random website a month ago (a project which took me about 2-3 weeks)... made for developers.
But unfortunately I didn't find anyone interested, just a few users that used it once (ok, I spent nothing for marketing and posted it only on my Twitter and on Product Hunt).

Anyway this is it: https://reviewti.me/

I spent about $4 for the domain, maybe someone will find it useful and it wasn't a waste of time and "money". 😅
Please don't see this as spam, I earn nothing (free website, 0 ads), I created it just for fun and maybe to be a little useful for app developers.
If it isn't for you, just tell me what do you think about it (if you want).

Thanks!

My CV is done.
I listened to some hints, removed some of the childish and selfish texts and I am in this place, do you have any tips?
Yes, I put those photos specially

A young guy I work with burst into tears today, I had no idea what happened so I tried to comfort him and ask what was up.

It appears his main client had gone nuts with him because they wanted him to make an internet toolbar (think Ask.com) and he politely informed them toolbars doesn't really exist anymore and it wouldn't work on things like modern browsers or mobile devices.

Being given a polite but honest opinion was obviously something the client wasn't used to and knowing the guy was a young and fairly inexperienced, they started throwing very personal insults and asking him exactly what he knows about things (a lot more than them).

So being the big, bold, handsome senior developer I am, I immediately phoned the client back and told them to either come speak to me face-to-face and apologise to him in person or we'd terminate there contract with immediate effect. They're coming down tomorrow...

So part my rant, part a rant on behalf of a young developer who did nothing wrong and was treated like shit, I think we've all been there.

We'll see how this goes! Who the hell wants a toolbar anyway?!

Please help me to find it.🙏
