Since this has been trending recently, here's my six word horror story -

"I accidentally deleted the production database"

Something I came across recently

"Without requirements or design, programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file." -- Louis Srygley

Oh dear lord

So I just recently joined stackoverflow. Spent some time time and decided I should log out considering I logged in at work. Could not find the fucking logout/sign out button. Even after googling. Had to go to the source code and find the logout link which is hidden in the page.

Looks like it's the new vim.

CSS is awesome even for NPM

Some people know just what to do/build

Like any frontend dev working in an organisation, all of what I do are "designed" by an UX/UI designer. Now he fucking has a problem with me and has been going around saying he's gonna resign because of me. (Apparently he said that while walking away from where I was with the intention of it falling in my ears but I was oblivious to it).

On enquiring (to another colleague)why he has a problem with me he said I don't respect him. Perplexed(more curious), I asked what is it that I do to disrespect him and what I found out was out of the world.

I DISRESPECT HIM BY ASKING HIM QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WORK HE DOES.

Awesome, right? Not only does he consider that disrespect but he also takes it personally. WTH?! I'm not supposed to ask why you do a certain things?

Some of my questions -
1. Why are there font sizes of 13px, 14px, 15px right next to each other?
2. Why is there a gap between the sidebar and the content?
3. Why aren't even sizes being used?
Etc.

So much for maturity. He's completely ignoring me, be it on the floor or during meetings. I couldn't care less. It wouldn't take me much to tell him where he's fucking up. The only reason I asked him questions was to understand things better; maybe I don't understand what I find wrong.
But now ~(˘▾˘)~

Fav categories: null, null, and null.

There was a time when I laughed at "I work because I wanna buy games but I can't play them because I work". There was.

Pirates use flask. The Navy uses Django. this == true?

Opening somebody else's code(11000+ lines in 2 js files) only to find a 100+ "var a" declarations and naming conventions like var chart1, var chart2. Best part? Not a single comment. Even better? The one who wrote the code doesn't remember what does what.

It always feels so amazing when working in a team that always coordinates so well, and makes you feel awesome. And then you wake up.

Wise words to live by

Question
Is there a discord group for us devRanters?

Google assistant programmers...

Client vs Tester

Showing someone my GitHub profile...

Well...

Atom vs Sublime vs VS Code vs Brackets. What do you use?

Did I get the syntax wrong?

Had a 3 day interview. Got a callback few days later. On my way to my first job!

Me explaining my project to my teacher -
Me: So all these functions are carried out asynchronously so the user doesn't have to wait much and the whole thing is placed in a web server.
Teacher: Where is the web server located?

Been working on an issue for the past 3 days. For a gamer, I didn't even start Steam even once. Now, after so much frustration, barely any sleep and too many mindfucks, I finally figured it out and commit my code. Now I can watch Suicide Squad in peace. :')

So the other day I kept seeing too many of "if it fits, it sits" jokes. It was one of the days I was messing around with my app. So I did something to make it work. I didn't know what and I went "If it works, it twerks". I know it's stupid but I crack myself up every time I say it. 😂

So I just found out that a lot of the rants posted here are taken from reddit. Come on, guys. That's just sad. :(

If coding was a thing 100+ years ago, we'd have quotes by great men like "You won't have space for new ideas unless you shit out the old ones in the toilet." which would be an alternative for "the toilet is the best place to think of algorithms and fixes."

You're a great coder only if you can deliberately write bad code that works but no one can understand.

I have job interviews at two different companies tomorrow at the same time. Can't postpone either. One is at a start-up that has super negative reviews but good pay. Other is at Amazon but has requirements half I don't even understand. It's not long before I pluck all my hair out in confusion.
