Why do people always stop at 19 ++? 😢 I want to decorate my computer with stickers ^^

Linux used to be primarily for developers.

But with most software people use becoming browser based (mail, slack, chat, docs, drive etc.) and with Ubuntu UI becoming progressively more user friendly, most lay people can now comfortably switch over to Linux.

Especially for startups for whom Windows licenses feel expensive. Our startup did the same.

That awkward moment when you find bug instead of porn on "Pornhub" 😂😂😂

Absolutely true!😁😁

When you have so much time on your hands that you create a rotating 3D cube console program...

Straight up there 😂 No sugar coating.
Nice guys at W3C lol

Someone hates apple for macbook keyboard sound. I hate apple for poor-quality anti-reflective coating on the screen, which is erased gradually when my laptop is closed.

Working on an existing system for a client and ran into this gem of a comment.

Just broke up with my ex-girlfriend after 2 years of relationship. This might sound strange but scrolling after scrolling on dev rant is actually helping me getting through this situation!

When ransomeware guys provide better customer support than most companies 😂

Start a meditation retreat for the AI devs

I hate it that the IDE I'm most comfortable with, CodeBlocks, has no actual dark theme

int main()
{
bool NeedPoints = true;
int Points = 0;
if (NeedPoints)
{
Points++;
if (Points > 10)
{
CreateAvatar();
NeedPoints = false;
}
}
}

some of you use rubber duckies... I use a hackathon trophy filled with mountain dew.

Debugging...

Today we interviewed a _very_ good Angular1 Dev, by chance we showed him the forked ngRouter module we use, after some debate he explained that we were using it incorrectly.. I asked if he'd used it before to which he responded:

"Yeah, I'm the guy who built it"

Teaching 7-8 year olds the basics of web design. We're we're playing with CSS and changing colours of block elements and text. One girl put up her hand, completely confused as to why it wasn't working. Her code:

Section {
Background-color: rainbow;
}

Oh the wonderful mind of children

First thing when using a new IDE... Find and enable dark mode.

!rant

System.out.println(age);
if (birthday.isToday())
age++;
System.out.println(age);

Output:

Well thanks. 🖕
