Just thought I'd publicly give myself a pat on the back

I haven't been on devrant since 2018, but revisiting old rants I posted now, I feel quite proud that I feel a lot less insecure and fine with not knowing things, and I've learnt a lot! I only think about what an imposter I am maybe once a month instead of once a minute

Go progress! 🎉🎉🎉

Got my first merge conflict today 🎉 (haven't worked much with git)

So yay.. I guess 🤔

for me, the problem with going to school and getting a degree is having seen so many ways you can improve your work and wanting to apply all of it, but then you get to the workplace and you're met with resistance. i understand we can't just change everything all at once, but i wish i could sneak in an idea every once in a while

One of our internal apis returns an array in which the first element is metadata about the request.

Why would anyone want to punish their users like that

After 1.6 year of pandemic, i returned to train Judo today.

those who are dependent on facebook's serverless services are now really serverless

Multi-Screen problem: So I need to run a VR headset with a laptop, and the laptop has only one hdmi connection. I don't have any extra hdmi adapters, so I cannot connect my second screen while working with the headset, which sucks...
but...
then it hit me...
there is an app called spacedesk which allows you to use your phone as an additional screen. I have a docking station for my phone so I can connect hmdi to it. On the first try the resolution was shit since it uses the default phone resolution. But the phone has Samsung Dex, which allows you to run everything full screen on your connected screen, so I can run the app within Samsung Dex and therefore will get full resolution.

And this works. It's kinda stupid and maybe a bit complicated, but it works. God, I love technology :D:D:D

This is the adapter to adapter to adapter to adapter meme in action, just wireless. Lol. I'm proud of this xD

Really..

Start new job January 1st.

Insurance supposed to start on February 1st.

Due to "paperwork problems", insurance doesn't start until March 1st.

Informed of this on March 4th, when I receive insurance cards.

Insurance cards have the wrong name...can't use them.

who is a good speaker ? ...

the creators...

Vim is cool.

Kenyans lost these great devs in a terror attack. A moment of silence

I asked an intern to write JUnits to increase test coverage and he mocked the method itself which was being Unit tested.

A friend found this Microsoft link a few weeks ago. The background image is missing because it's been removed from imgur and it's still broken to date 🤔

My brother told me a mail just arrived from "America". He said is from "dev something".

I think I know what that is 😍

So our company's internet was down. Network admin was really pissed as there is suppose to be a notification from the ISP about down time. Network admin called the ISP customer services to inquire about the problem and they said "Sir, we wanted to email you but our network was down too."
Admin turned from being really angry to laughing out loud real quick...

Show some respect... 🙌

Well thank you for the kindness server .. appreciate your polite refusal :)

This passes all unit tests

Just found this gem again!

Found a Pentium in the trash bin

Client(On Call): I emailed some query a day before. I got a response too. But, i am not able to find answer of my specific query.

Me: Let me check that for you. Yes, it is there. See the mail carefully.

Client: No. It's not there.

Me: Can you read the whole mail for me?

Client: Sure. *Started Reading* Oh yes. Yes. it is here. *Hangs up the Phone.*

Me: Sigh.

When Tigeress and Bob help you debug your code.

I'd like to share with you guys the fact that I had one of the greatest Christmases ever!
This includes having randomly received this debugging duck from someone that had no idea what it would mean to me, but also meeting people who brought 4 dogs to the family reunion (I am absolutely in love with dogs)
