Employers look for degrees, fellow developers look for stickers - how to tell a developers experience xD

</sarcasm>

Thanks for the stickers :D
Smooth delivery even in the Netherlands :)
Here are the stickers in action.

Thug life

Fake bug fix

Teaching 7-8 year olds the basics of web design. We're we're playing with CSS and changing colours of block elements and text. One girl put up her hand, completely confused as to why it wasn't working. Her code:

Section {
Background-color: rainbow;
}

Oh the wonderful mind of children

One of many things my non-programmer friends needs to learn!

Straight in dem feels

True story.

Just got messaged by one of my customers. He buys a lot of scripts from me for his gambling website. He asked me to screw around a bit with the code so that of someone bets above $2500 they automatically lose. And they have a 50% chance of winning when they bet lower than 1000. He actually wanted to pay a lot of money but I declined the request, I don't want to screw around with scamming people.
I think i did the right thing? I don't care about the money though.

CSS can kill you!

The life of a frontend developer

When you prove its a hardware probelm

Happiness

When you're in the middle of coding and people come over.

How does devrant finance itself? They give free swag items, and dont show ads.

"I wrote the code, I have to maintain the code, I wont need any comments"

*some months later*

We've all been there.

Don't do this, Chrome

But that is my email....

Devs be like..

Little fun story

About 3 years ago, my woman came gome from picking up our son from kindergarten.

She told me that she met a very nice woman - also a mom - whose man is also a dev (He is a FullStackDev, while I mainly do backend in PHP) .

She said that she invited them over for BBQ the next day.

In my mind, I was like "Fuck, now I need to listen to some wanker explaining me how great it is to be doing full stack with all the latest and greatest tools and bells and whistles why I am the fat kid using PHP"...

The BBQ-day arrived, we have met, we have talked, and we have been best friends and brothers-from-another-mother ever since.

Life is good sometimes.

How I discovered I was a developer:

The company had hired a pair of computer science graduates and we had been commissioned to build a magento store. Weeks went buy with limited progress, and missing functionality was met with protestations from the devs about unreasonable demands.

At this time I had been taken on as a designer / casual front end developer (though the focus was on design). I knew HTML, CSS and some very limited php and js.

We were severely over deadline, and seeing the desperation on people's faces I suggested looking into it.

I read the magento docs, got an install up an running, configured an installed plugins, integrated the theme using the complex multilevelled XML/phtml architecture magento uses and even got some of the more complex js functionality working using JavaScript.

In two weeks.

I'm now the lead developer

Yeah no

got it somewhere on the net

My boss wrote the password to access the office on his whiteboard, which you could see from outside of the building.
