You know what fkn sucks? I was so fkn excited to join the company. It was a dream job for me. I loved everything about it. The stack, the concept, the core values, everything.
Fast forward 3 years and I no longer recognize the company I joined. Went from customer first to revenue first. No other vision than increase sales. Heart fkn breaking...

When the founders of the company leave and you see the soul slowly getting drained out of the company. Hurts to see..

PLZ tell me I'm not the only idiot who without a fkn exception has to rewrite environemnt, I mean enviroment, SHIT, sorry environment multiple times cause my brain doesn't compute the fkn spelling of it.
9/10 times I have to google it....

You can get mad about Apple releasing stuff that Android has been doing for 10 years. But also get mad about you not being able to pick up and Android phone that is not a buggy mess. I will pick Apples pretentious products over wanting to throw my phone on the floor at least 5 times a day because swiping doesn't work the first 10 times or because I have to select an input field 6 thousand times for it to highlight or because every action has a delay for no apparent reason.
Yes Apple sucks but truth is Android sucks hell of a lot more. Sorry not sorry.

YOU MEAN TO ACTUALLY FKN TELL ME IT TOOK YOU 3 DAYS TO FIGURE OUT AN "QueryFailedError: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint" ERROR??? GTFO. These fkn "fullstack" consultants man...

Now the real question is are you even allowed to put React in your cv if you've never worked with redux, don't know the concept of HOC and still make pull requests with componentWillReceiveProps ?

Hey devRant, is it a feature or a bug that you can't see your oldest rants on your profile? I feel like that's where most of the original/rawest rants are. Please don't let them disappear into the big internet void.

"Stay humble because the second you stop being a student, your knowledge becomes fragile."

Just read that in an article (https://smashingmagazine.com/2019/...) and damn if that is not the most truthful sentence ever written about development... idk what is!

Let me tell you a little story about a butthurt designer.
Once upon a time there was a butthurt designer.
And he lived butthurt ever after.
The end.

"It might sound counterintuitive but that's just how it works..."
The absolute last sentence you would expect or want to hear watching a tutorial of a big & popular framework created by google.

That moment you realise Typescript is not called Typescript because it has types but because of the immense amount of typing you have to do to get anything done...

Real friends write API documentation

I need a short command in Slack to paste in the text "Let me know when you have pushed", you know, for efficiency's sake

The description of my company should be, "where 9 people can make a baby in 1 month, but it is going to be one ugly fuck"

Aaaawww!

It's like I'm trying to set a FUCKING record..

Please, send help.

Hey assholes, if you need a cms dev. Don't hire a front end dev to do your dirty cms bullshit. Sorry, NOT sorry.

The deepest, darkest place in hell is reserved to the people who wrote the Drupal documentation.
Fucking cms hell.

A JAVASCRIPT?
A MF JAVASCRIPT???

Been working with Git every day for the last 3 years and never had a problem with it.

Dear Docker for Windows I know you exist to make devs on Windows life easier. But DEAR GOD, with all the firewall/group policy problems..you have been the pain of my existence during this short time developing on Windows.

Literally have a countdown on the time left until I get to no longer do a rain dance for my development environment to work.

Look at Oracle being hipster and shit, releasing Java 9 and not 10.. sorry, I mean X.

Going from web dev on Mac to web dev on Windows. Any advice?
What is you favourite JS IDE on Windows? Any software that will make my life easier? Any other things I need to know?
All and any advice is welcomed.

Do you ever step out of your happy dev bubble and look at the news or read the paper or just talk to another human and wonder what the actual f*ck humankind is doing right now?

Saw this quote and I felt like maybe it is not just me that needs to see this today :)
