Best thing about being a dev? Non techies can't question your reasoning.

Oh, and Dilbert.

You better be prepared people!

<table> ftw

The sheer ignorance on my Facebook timeline makes me glad this community exists

The devRant Podcast is finally here!! We're happy to announce the release of episode #0 - featuring Andy Hunt (known for The Pragmatic Programmer, rubber duck debugging, DRY, and much more). We can't thank Andy enough for agreeing to be on our first podcast episode and it was so enjoyable to interview him.

We also want to give a huge thanks to our two devRant users who helped us out and came on to talk about their rants - @silhoutte and @sway. We also greatly appreciate all of the questions that were submitted by community members. We really wanted to ask all of them since there were a lot of good ones, but we had to narrow it down a little as Andy was already kind enough to go over the 20 minutes we had originally asked for. This episode features questions from @casanovanoir, @fatlard1993, and @3K-Vengeance.

You can get all the links to the podcast here: https://devrant.io/podcasts/... (available on iTunes, Google Play, and we've provided the raw mp3).

If you'd like to see it on any other platforms in the future, please let us know. And like always, feedback is appreciated since we're new to this and still learning our way when it comes to podcasting. If you enjoy the show, please rate it to help us out :)

Thanks everyone!

when you find a well written dev blog post and the comments are equally as informative

I just tried ending a line in normal English using a ";" instead of a "."

I need a break.

First time I've seen a captcha like this. It takes it to a whole new level.

When you find a result on google that has the exact same title as your problem and get a 404 page after clicking it...

No question is stupid they said!!

Client promised an email in 5 minutes after hanging up.. It's been 2 hours since.. Is he typing with his penis? Is it so small that it's taking so much time hitting each key!

Code that draws a penis in the last place you could imagine

Kernel panic

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?!

That feeling when you Google for a solution and the answer that works for everybody doesn't work for you...

age++ this is how I get a happy birthday wish

Real Java programmers don't die. They just get garbage collected...

Nevermind...

Can't be

Just heard I will be a father for the second time!! Those devRant stickers will look great in the nursery!

I'm the first in 3 generations not be some sort of pipeline/mechical engineer. All my family works at the same company too.

I was partially accepting because at least a software engineer is some kind of engineer.

...And than my cousin graduated to be a gym teacher so I was then fully accepted 😂

This means so much in coding too... it just takes one.

devrant is an amazing place. I came to know abt programmers as young as eleven year old and as old as fifty six. truly amazing. thanks @dfox and @trogus.

Funny how the number of screws I end up with after assembling my computer never matches the number I started with.

I badly relate...😁

My dad picked up programming in Java as a hobby when I started my own dev company. We pair program on the weekends! 😁

That time when your table start looking like a Toblerone..

And then crash crash.. crash...crash

//I find a couple beers after hours relaxes the mind enough to work through the problem. aka The Ballmer Peak.

while(stuck == true) {
if(time < endDay) {
console.log("Keep working");
} else if(time > endDay && beers < 2) {
beers ++;
} else if(time > endDay && beers >= 2) {
stuck = false;
}
}

This little part of my life is called happiness.

Best way to get unstuck for me is to walk away, get about 2 fingers of scotch (3 depending on the glass), drink that and wait for the Ballmer Peak.
