I am starting my web development business and i intend to focus on building mainly custom ecommerce solutions to small and medium businesses or large ones too. I am just about to launch my first project and my client has been great.
Any advice from the pros in the house who have been there done that will be worth more than diamond right now to me.
I like advice mainly on how to find new clients.

When searching through an array,because I also program using Java,i always end up putting for(x=0;x<array.length ;x++){}
Now in php I have to deal with this

Pointers in C. You love'em or you hate'em. A lot of room to shoot ourselves in the foot or hang ourselves. Or doing both because someone thought it would be genius to tie the guns to the rope.

finished learning a framework/plugin.. *feel like boss* 😎

bam! new version with breaking changes.. *feel like sobbing* 😭

As a high-school student who has learned to program, i can't understand why programming isn't standard curriculim. It makes it so much more fun to learn math and physics. I also think even basic understanding of it improves how we use technology

Remember to teach your youth to program!

Found this gem while cleaning the basement

I feel like this stress ball judges every line you type out

When you are supposed to be taking notes for history, but programming is your meaning of life ❤

so,i made a website and uploaded it to my paid hosting...some pages were blank when accessed.did some testing and found out that was a php problem.contacted the support to enable error reporting for testing...he said that it can not be done...and that my code was the problem....spent 3h testing like a blind man...then my mother comes and sais this "maybe it's not compatible"she knows nothing about programming....then it struck me....fucking different php versions...i think i'm retarded sometimes...

Corrupted FS is coming

my boss bought iphone 7 for testing...inserted his sim card and takes phone with him self all time...

Our dear freelance web dev, you absolutely need to come to our office on the other side of the city during working hours when it's impossible to find parking space for an urgent meeting to discuss you copy/pasting to a web page a simple block of text we'll send you via email

Today I Learned: Firefox CAN NOT open a 31MB XML file.

My year looks pretty good. How is yours?

For those difficult days, one stress ball for each hand.

You know instead of ranting we should be greatful that we have a comfortable job, where we don't have to spend all our day digging ditches, or on our knees scrubbing toilets. That we are in a well condition room instead of in a hot as hell factory where you perform a mind numbing task for minimum wage...

Wait...what is that? Are they retarded with requirements like these...worst. job. Ever!

Whenever I come accross a framework I didn't know about I feel like a little kid openning a Christmas present !

Ohh crap

Everyone,

Get Visual Studio 2017 RC right now! It is much faster and uses less space, almost 5x less than 2015.

Fake bug fix

You want to land a job as PHP developer? About to go to an interview?

There are two ways:

1. Be able to explain the difference between an interface and an abstract class and their purposes. (I shit you not.)

2. If you aren't able to, then simply state you don't know and are eager to learn.

(The second approach might not work if you claimed to know object oriented programming "very well" before though.)

Yet I am astounded in how many interviews people were either playing smart and just rambled on not wanting to lose face. During the remote calls of some special candidates I could even hear them typing on their keyboards in the background googling the answers to my questions.

And the irony is that I thereby had to veto their appliance. As they had lost my trust in being able to communicate honestly. And for wasting my time.

Our domain is complicated and ever-changing and not knowing certain parts of software development is *normal*.

Yet don't just try to fake it in order to land a job. It won't work, and when it does you may find yourself literally in the company of like-minded individuals.

Today, I left the world of QA testing. I start a new job in designing a DevOps system on Monday! Yay!!!

Four hours later and I'm still debugging

How to handle fucking management assholes playing politics in office. Always there to take credit of the job they haven't done.
Really pissed off !!!

A programmer

"I need this bug fixed in half an hour!"

bizarrely

I recruited another devRanter today!

My Mission Control where it all happens. Who'd like to share theirs?

Love working with atom using this theme in coffeeshops, making people think I'm a top hacker, when in reality I'm just stuck with css classes or something. Equally stupid.
