It's always fun to get contacted by someone who doesn't code and they want you to code an entire startup for them...

The fun part... Is they will pay you later when it generates money

"python is only used for tiny scripts"

Them: Why are you asking me? I didn't write it.

Me: git blame says otherwise

Came across this and wanted to share it with everyone here! Haha

Update on my job interviews:
I had four so far.
Got rejected from all of them.
The reason of most of them was that they would have to teach me too much.
I am applying as a junior.
What do they expect? Fucking Linus Torvalds or geohot?

Alright, since Facebook released a VPN service a little while ago but they're actively advertising it as a secure and privacy friendly service, I felt like - although I'm very busy right now - I should do a security/privacy blog post about this.

If you even slightly care about your own privacy or the privacy of anyone you're communicating with, for the love of God, don't use this service.

Hereby a blog post explaining stuffs: https://much-security.nl//...

Headphones on = I'm in a flow. Leave me the fuck alone.

CS Professor: “What M word is the black hole to all productivity?”

Student: “Management”

CS Professor: “Was going to say meetings but that’s better”

Using vim inside the terminal to take text based notes for school is kinda like having a Ferrari just so you can use the radio.

Took me a week to realize that "!rant" just means "not rant".

I thought it was some sort of post front-matter that was no longer supported by the app (like a Duck Duck Go "bang").

😅

How cute *_*

I am here late on a freaking Friday night before a holiday weekend doing some stupid conversion for a company. They have to have it done before Monday ( the holiday) as they plan to go live then.

Did I mention that they asked for this 2 days ago? I had to write the entire system to upload their batch of accounts into our system and return to them the corresponding new accounts. In 2 STUPID DAYS! Not to mention nobody was here to code review it today, so I had to run over it with one of the it guys before merging it myself.

Good thing I didn’t have a conference tonight that I paid money to go to. Oh wait, I do. Luckily it only started 2 hours ago so I might just make the final keynote, if I am lucky.

So there is this girl who was trying to be cute and wrote a mock C code for me :

She wrote :

If(existence=disapointment)
printf("kill self");
else
printf("what else??");

And without hesitating I told her that her code had a fault in it and it would always print "kill self" no matter what the level of disappointment is. And asked her to fix it.
The way she fixed it was probably best described as the situation when you have no idea what you are doing and you don't try to understand either. (or was simply passive aggressive) :

If(existence=disapointment)
printf("kill self");
else
printf("kill self");

Honestly though I hope she was being passive aggressive because boy do I pity people who confuse between '=' and '=='

A client wanted "a video on a server".

I took a server, put it on the ground, stood on it carefully and took 'a video on a server' 😊

I was so tempted to just send it 😆

When I say I will help SET UP a website, that does not mean I will DESIGN your website. There are CMS's/Website creators for that crap. I'm only here to show you how to configure php on Apache, then I'm done.

A guy walks into tech interview. Solid 6 years of programming and teaching others. Proceeds to stumble on basic questions and fails to demonstrate even junior level of ability yet keeps alluding on how valued he is in his current position. How do people become so detached from reality?

We should get rid of loop invariants. They are cumbersome and counter-intuitive (hopefully someone gets the inside joke).

Fucking Windows... If you don't have enough memory for everything youre supposed to do, then kill whatever you want, but not the fucking graphics driver.

What should I do then? Close something different? Fuckin Monkeys.

Computer science doesn't just mean teach me how to use Microsoft office over and over... MS Access is not useful!!!

Me: we've refactored the project to make it easier to support in the future
Non-technical VP: Cool can you print it off so I can have a look

"Fresher Job"
"Experience: 2-4 years"

Where should I put this stick in? 😤

Breakpoints. I didn't learn about breakpoints until 6 months after college. Inexcusable.

I was added to a private Trello board today, of a company that I’m not a part of.
I don’t know if I should mess around with their boards and move stuff around, just leave the board, or better yet, relieve devs of their assigned tasks.
😆

Yes please.

I was almost finished a website when the client changed their mind and decided that what they actually wanted was an app for Android and iOS because that's apparently what I promised them.

I double-checked the contract to make sure. It said I was building them a website that would be tested for mobile-friendliness on browsers from phones using Android and iOS. :/

I told my girlfriend about Devrant. Now she's hooked onto it and doesn't pay attention to me. And now I'm ranting about it on Devrant. Oh the irony! T_T

Woah?! Shiit? What was that?

What caused such ridiculous pain?
Oh. Just Germans talking English again.

Hi devRant!
After reading here for quite some time I finally registered.

I spend 4 hours yesterday raging over myself because I wasn’t able to think enough like a machine.

I need a rubber duck...

Chat with a girl with IT knowledge 😅

Can this be the perfect match?

Not using notepad to teach html
