I've been coding for over 8 years, and whenever a recruiter says we have you do these coding challenges or recite them an algorithm from memory, I say "You know, the longer you've been programming, the less you remember how to do this stuff, because you don't use it in real life." They say, "Well we just want to see how you think and how you solve problems." B.S.
These types of algorithmic programming challenges besides the simpler ones don't show how you think. A lot of stuff like the dynamic programming and other optimization problems were solved by phd professors after many years of research. Nobody would think up these solutions on their own.
These programming challenges weed out
experienced developers unless they want to
take the time to re-learn this stuff. It explains why google, facebook or amazon are filled with young and inexperienced developers and how come it takes so many thousands of them to get anything done, and they still have buggy products...

Happy (late) Halloween, bitches 😈🎃👻

Props to anyone who knows what this is 😝

*Thinks he know programming*
*Finds out about "subClasses"*

I'm pretty active on Github

Client requested password change for their info@ email.

Changed the password.

Client said website is not sending emails

Turned out that website is using SMTP to send email using the same email address.

when you came a bit early to work on saturday morning...

Bloody CSS isn't working...

body .belly {padding:8%; overflow:none;}

body .belly{padding:-12%; overflow:hidden;}

Happens every day:
"could you please fix those bugs ASAP? Testers are waiting for it"
*resolve the issue and inform the requester*
(two weeks later)
"Thanks, I'll inform the testers they can begin their tests"

Ugh, how ASAP makes everything seem so urgent and important

Visual Studio circa 2002. The academic version came with posters printed with rows and rows of keywords.

coding for a reason

When you estimate development time for a feature and management asks: "But aren't there widgets or sth that you can... [you raise an eyebrow] like... drag and drop or something...?"

The real truth behind checking solution...

Breakup

Go to hell...

Best weekend activity for programmer family

ASCII art diagrams as "documentation". Don't be this guy.

when your friends have a "great idea" for an app and expects you to code it all and they forget about it after you code it...

Made the mistake of telling my family what I'm going to school for... Now I'm free tech support.

Why do people nest divs inside of a table inside of another table?

Saw this in the shop. No way I was going to walk out without getting my hands on it! 😁

Why is it so hard to convice coworkers (other programmers) to use source control? Yes it's an extra step every day or so but it can be so helpful and save so much more time tracking down versions and when the bug first appeared. Also, piece of mind if your computer every gets hosed.

Algorithm: word used by programmers when they don't want to explain what they did.

My devRant stickers came! Check it out

Designer sends me mock up. I send out to client to review before we start to develop. (Mock up has lorem ipsum for paragraph text in one spot) A few minutes later client calls freaking out "Why is my whole site in Spanish, I don't speak Spanish!"
