Everytime you see a typo in the commit message, take a shot.

@bhargav-mogra This is Kotlin for you. In response to your rant about Swift ranges.

*explains the importance of official docs*

*moments later, the intern pointing at his screen to a crappy YouTube tutorial video*

Intern: How did he figure all this stuff out? He must be a genius.

How do you deal with people who stare at your screen?

Meta devRant rant:
Everyday there's a rant that reads, "I don't care what others think but I love me some PHP because all the $ gets me $$$, it just works™!"

Everywhere you go, you find these memes where developers are skeptical of their work. Things like "It works. I don't know how. It doesn't work. I don't know how.". Don't you guys think this is a huge problem? And people say that their programming language is the best, because preference. But isn't this happening because our tools suck?

Yes the problems maybe inherently complex but at least we should be able to figure out the logic behind the snipper and reason about it.

Haven't really experienced it, but they say Haskell and the likes are great at this and it must be true because it's backed by mathematical properties and laws, not " experience".

So the rant here is, wish we had better tools in the mainstream that allowed us to enjoy absolute faith in at least what we have written, regardless of the fact that we understood the problem in the domain.

Dear designer, if you're generating assets please make sure you're naming them right. And oh, get rid of that .DS_Store thing please.

Assured the boss that the app will be ready in minutes and only a simple callback implementation is yet to be made. Immediately discovered that the library is inconsistent with the docs and only thing possible is to file an issue. Way to go Facebook Fresco!

CamanJS is a nice library and such but why does it's vignette function take a String as it's parameter for percentage!? It parses it by removing the '%' character and doing a parseInt()!

@dfox the Feedback isn't clickable on this device. Wanted to request a feature to edit posts.

Not being able to lol at "Monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors." joke even after several readings of articles/guides online.
