Biggest annoyance in my favorite language?

Semicolon in C.

I'm glad I wrote comments in the program I wrote an year ago. Now I can make some sense of it 😁

Fate chose Computer Science for me.

It's only after 1st semester of Computer Science Undergraduate Program that I came across C, my first programming language. I had no idea what a CS Degree is all about. It was a blind shot, to be honest.

I wrote a few programs and fell in love with coding. I got high after solving every problem. I craved for more. It's all magical!

I'm enjoying every moment of my developer career. It's a hell lot of fun! I'm glad that my blind shot turned out be a good one.

I'm fixing bugs.
I'm creating new bugs.
I'm simultaneously fixing bugs and creating bugs.
I'm Schrodinger's coder.

Linus Torvalds, while writing about the future of Linux in his autobiography 'Just For Fun', said Linux will be used in cell phones in near future. He wrote this in 2000. After 16 years, we see Android (based on Linux Kernel) in over a billion cell phones! What a visionary! Makes me wonder!

Learn to touch type. If you're a developer and doesn't know how to touch type, you're like an actor with no dress sense. It's one of the most basic things. Pay attention to these small things and it'll result in something huge!

Don't copy-paste the code. Type it out. You'll learn a lot that way.

I'm a new developer. Here is the top advice I've received:

0. Think like a programmer, outside of work too.

1. Programming is tough. It takes a certain kind of mindset to sit in front of a monitor and think it through a problem till the end. Develop that mindset.

2. Handwork pays.

3. Do it for fun. Be exceptional. Money will follow.

4. Care about the craft you build. Write such a beautiful code that your fellow devs would think about your code and have a nerdgasm.

5. Simple is beautiful. Anybody can make things complex. It takes a stroke of genius to make things simple.

6. Write modular code. It makes your code reusable and easy to maintain. Future developers who will work on your piece of code will appreciate it.

7. Share your knowledge. Unlike materialistic things, knowledge grows when you share it.

8. Add comments. You think you'll remember why you wrote that piece of code that way or a clever hack you created but trust me, you won't.

9. Be humble. You'll never know everything. Don't hesitate to ask for help.

10. Writing code is exciting! Of course there will be some frustrating moments. But don't give up! You'll miss a lot of fun.

FUCK YOU WINDOWS. HOW MANY FUCKING HOURS DO YOU NEED TO 'GET THINGS READY' ? IT'S BEEN 5 FUCKING HOURS ALREADY 😠 Even a woman doesn't take that long to get ready!

My manager doesn't even know who Linus Torvalds is😑😣

Fuck him.

Quora should hire some good QAs😀

Finally I'm done with this fucking employee self review 😑😣🙌

The worst part about being a Dev is explaining what exactly that you do to your distant relative who knows nothing about computers 😑

I've a recently joined developer hired from campus sitting next to me.

She: I'm printing an array in Java but it's not working. Could you please check what's wrong?

I see this piece of code:

printArray(arr);

Me: Where is the printArray method?

She: (With a puzzled look) Oh, do I have to declare that?

Me: 😶😶😶 (lowered my head, walked away slowly praying for the company)

My newly joined developer colleague had some problem starting the web app we are working on locally. After changing some configuration files,

Me: Restart the app

My Dev Colleague: Do I have to close it?

Me: Yeah, there will be a red cross on the right top corner, just click on that😑😒

My best friend and long time crush just told me she got into a new relationship 😑

I'm here, reading rants to take my mind off sadness 😑
