do you guys agree with my analogy that the biggest challenge we face as devs is not actually the challenge itself but how to describe your challenge.

Why does Python live on land?

Because it is above C level.

Got caught up fixing some styling today...

When even your Linux distro decides to start trolling you... 😂

Thought I would share a picture of my boss's wiring job...

Piece of shit admin installed a chrome plugin which changed the new tab to no internet default image ... The whole office was pranked

What the family and friends think you do

Too tired to rant, 4 months of 70 hour weeks have took their toll 😞

Good rule of thumb to follow when posting on devRant: if it's not a rant, we've all seen it before. Yes, we've seen that xkcd comic, or that programmer translation, that binary joke, and just about every other programming joke ever made. I know that people join at different times and may not have seen it, and there's no way they're going to sift through even a month's worth of rants to find it.

But we can decide as a community to just keep the posts to rants? Those are much more entertaining than these posts pleading for a stress ball. You get a stress ball when you rant. The more you rant, the more you clearly need a stress ball.

When your reworking a bot because they've realised your scraping their site and you spot this; GAME ON MF'ers

My relative once called me and asked if she could come over to my house so that I can copy Facebook over to his flash drive. Turns out that she accidentally deleted the bookmark to facebook.com and thought that she'd lost it forever.

This is want happens to you when all of your relatives found out that you are "good with tech".

Today my 500 error page showed up.. I forgot I had some fun in there, made me smile. Thank you past self :)

If you ever feel down at your job: remember that someone, somewhere has to read Windows10 user feedback all day long ;)

Truest truth

And on the 8th day, God began debugging. And still hasn't finished.

Documentation is like sex. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's better than nothing.

I thought of a funnier story about recruiters, one called my desk a few weeks ago and I politely declined the offer before hanging up.

The same recruiter then proceeded to call the person sitting directly opposite me and subsequently told them that I had recommended them for a position (I categorically did no such thing). I hope they were wearing Brown pants that day because I proceeded to phone up their company and spent the next 20 minutes detailing how unprofessional it is to blatantly lie to people and expressly told them that if I ever found out they were using my name in this way again I would Sue them for libel.

Needless to say most of their agents have left my professional network on LinkedIn.

Tl;Dr I won

When you begin to feel like Hodor...

I don't know what kind of maniac formats their HTML like this. How do you sleep well at night?

Got to love Microsoft's error messages.

"Yes....and I'm supposed to do what?"

Error handling done properly.

Undocumented API's make me sick and very frustrated at times...

I'm recruiting a new dev to my team, and that just happened.

Nothing makes me sicker than a programmer who chooses the light theme rather than dark

Boss and project manager calls me into a launch meeting for a new project. A stock management system for a small furniture company that will work over 11 stores, 4 warehouses and multiple suppliers which will also work as an ordering system. We went over the spec(112 pages) and I told him that it will be an on going project over a year with an initial dev time of 4-6 months. He just said that he's sold it to them to be delivered for testing in 2 weeks and completed in 4 weeks(they signed the contract) and that I'd best get started. I just closed my laptop and walked out.

That moment when you are in a meeting with your seniors and no one is accepting your ideas, but you are still happy cause you don't have to work and you can day dream.

A shitty solution isn't better than no solution, but a solution found when taking a shit... now that is always the right solution.
