What are the signs that you should quit your programming job? I always work 12+ everyday. I came to the point that I'm starting to get sick. Now my boss is mad because I did not go to work for a reason that I'm not feeling well. Plus, we are having deathmarch project management. I could say I'm already burned out. Don't know what to do.

How do you deal with pressure and aggressive deadlines at work?

Which linux distro would you choose for a back-end development? No Ubuntu LTS. 🤔

Does rapid application development methodology leads to more technical debt compare to other ones? With a factor like deadlines, a small number of team etc? 🤔

As a junior dev I'm really frustrated at work today. My boss wanted us to complete a project within 3 weeks. The project includes a multi-tenant hotel system that includes reservation, invoicing, advanced reports, housekeeping system and an API. I'm starting to feel something about myself, I have no progress. I'm so slow. I love what I'm doing but maybe this is too much.

ps. we're a team of 2

So everytime I get tired at work I always run 'composer update' so I have an excuse for doing nothing.

"Heyy get back to work!"
"I'm running composer update"
"Okay."

So yesterday I went to the postal service to claim my package(stress ball). While I'm waiting for the package the employee there asked me:

EMPLOYEE: There's so many stress balls here why buy one overseas.
ME: It's a dev swag I got free.
E: Oh I see. *looked at me suspiciously*

a moment later...

E: Hey, why stress ball? Did someone on your family got stroke?
M: No, it's for me. *smiled*

The after I got the package, the man looks like he wants me to open the package in front of him. Which I didn't do because I'm late for my work.

Maybe it's a first time here that someone sent a stress ball from US. Goodness. Hahahaha

ps. the man looks at me like I did something illegal which is a bit awkward. Hahahaha

devRant reached the Philippines! Thank you @dfox and @trogus for this treat. Greatly appreciated!

ps. i named her devi (Hahaha)

During code review, just review the code and not the one who wrote it.

!rant: quick question re web app

Should I separate the admin side from user side?
(2 folders) or include both sides in one project(1 folder)?

*during my final job interview*

*holding the folder that contains my cv*
interviewer: Wait, before I open this I would like to guess which position you're applying to.
me: Hmm okay sir? Which position?
interviewer: I see you're applying as a back-end developer?
me: Yes sir, I am.
interviewer: Aha! That's because you have a long hair? Like it is a requirement for every devs to grow their hair?
me: *laughs* i think so?
interviewer: Well our devs here also has long hair. You'll meet 'em soon.
...

That sets the mood of my interviewing process that leads me the job offer. LOL.

What if aside from ++'s, devrant also turned their text posts into binary. Who'll read, who'll not? Hmm.

This is not a rant but this is great

I GOT THAT JOB OFFER YES! AT LEAST I WON'T SEARCH FOR JOB AFTER OUR GRADUATION. I LIKE THIS FEELING YES!!!

When you use a new technology without reading the documentation first.

I found it funny that we're actually debugging our code on prod. (while the client is using the system)
Looks like I'm playing minesweeper. 😂

ps. will never do it again
pps. don't do it
ppps. you should not

*boss jokes around*

me: hahahahahaiwantanincreasehahahaha

*compiled a program but got lots of errors*

My Solution:
Recompile the program 5 times without changing anything hoping that it will solve the fucking problem.

Now I'm wondering if including my devRant link on my CV will help me land a job. Hmm.

When I realized I wasn't coding at all. I'm just playing sudoku all along.

Me after coding the whole night w/ 30-minute sleep.

10km run on seaside and eat a lot right after.

Who would have thought that slack would be very helpful on a team project. We've been using messenger all the time. Damn it. Where r u during my college days.

Why some of you guys hate PHP? Sad. Please enlighten me. Haha

Just had my first job interview for backend dev position. Hopefully, it went well. Not that much technical questions but the interviewer sure did verified all the things I wrote on my cv. Good thing I included my side projects, that way we have a topic to talk about. Hope ill get the offer. Yaaaaas!!!

After years of coding, I still search google on how to concatenate strings in PHP and python.
