Who even uses the right shift key?

This still blows my mind..

A happy dev writes happy code. Discuss...

Hmm. 🤔

I'm from New Zealand, and was working in the business side of things but really wanted to learn more tech. Saw a course in the states I really wanted to do, spoke to the admissions person and they said I can initially do a 4 week course then a 8 week bootcamp. Decided I would go but turns out I needed more "experience" when I spoke to one of the instructors.

Was super disappointed I had travelled all the way to America only to be denied a place, but the same instructor said if I did all the tasks she gave me I could get in. 2 years later I'm a full time dev and will never go back.

Really appreciate my instructors belief in me to go the next step, my life would be so different (and empty) if it weren't for her!

Hate braces?

Been there.

A: you need to learn how to figure out stuff yourself.

My first learned programming language is Pascal. Really enjoy the feeling of using the blue Editor to code. Just like the hacker described in those movie. And the most satisfying things of programming in Pascal is to make a GUI interface. Using the draw command, and write every buttons and layout. And amazed with the setfillstyle options.

Windows Vista supports real multitasking - it can boot and crash simultaneously. 

I can't see the problem

I love devRant!

Everybody is complaining about Windows 10 updates, which makes me relish having turned off Windows Update ~7 years ago on my home pc. Everything has been working with minimal pain I the ass.

Yes, I'm perfectly fine with XP 😁

During a meeting with customer I explained him two different options we could realise for his requirement.

Customer: "That sounds good! Do it!"
Me: "Well, you have to decide which option you want to be realised."
Customer: "Yes!"
Me: "You need some time to decide that?"
Customer: "No!"
Me: "So Option A or B"
Customer: "Yes!"

Guess I'm working from home today?

Using a Virtual Machine just so you can use trial softwares infinitely

When your friends at university discover you're programming a fighting game, one of them always ask : "Is this a hentai ?"

<table> ftw

Decided to update an old project. Turns out I wasn't stupid 6 years ago and my code still makes sense :)))

I hate long email exchanges with a client. I can never get a feel for when it's ok to break with the formalities of greeting them or saying thanks.

This is an example if stupid documentation.

//Just like magic
try {

WTF! THIS IS PROGRAMMING, NO FUCKING MAGIC OR MIRACLES HAPPENS.

fonfi's post reminded me of this.
The power of the floppy!

Unix is definitely user friendly, it's just very particular about who its friends are.
