Fuck, life is really suck man 😥

1. The quality of the coffee and toilet paper you encounter during an interview tells you more than promises about table tennis or fruit baskets.

2. Try to determine who their primary client is: subscribers, app buyers, advertisers, etc. It's a major influence on the company dynamic.

3. Before an interview, you can just say: "I would like to sit down with a PO and run through one backlog feature and one bug, to get a feel for the type of tasks at the company". Such an activity immediately reveals team structure, whether they have product owners & scrum masters, what a sprint looks like, how they prioritize tasks, and how organized/chaotic your work experience will be.

When a communist starts coding!!

😂😂😂

I created a script with power shell that notifies me before I leave the office if my train is on time or isn’t. See the comment for another image of when the service isn’t on time!

Do not close lid!

Venting some anger, this is a long one

<rant>
So last Friday we had a 'Christmas' party at work... Only it wasn't a Christmas party... Because that would be racist against people who don't celebrate Christmas (of whom they are none at work), also no Christmas songs, because of the same reason and because it looked unprofessional... They also removed karaoke... (an Christmas tradition at the office) Because again, it was unprofessional

But we all got a Christmas card... Strange because we weren't allowed to celebrate it 😑 and the message in that card was one of the most standard messages I've ever seen, something like

Hello $name, we enjoyed working with you in 2017, let's make 2018 even better, merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS!? BUT THAT'S RACIST WASN'T IT!!!???

W T F !

also our sales guy did a speech, the following is an actual quote
'software is an amazing product'
Yeah mate, software is the product... Totally not the stuff we create with it

Sorry if people get/are offended in anyway, but if you decide that having a Christmases party at work is racist in any way or form, then don't have a party at all... Not some lame half Christmas party...
</rant>

Yes please

Release time :)

Anyone else? 😂

Alcohol. 🤔

Walking in circles yeah I walk in circles when thinking

Swedish privacy!

Posted a Google form link for recruiting interns for my startup. Here's the response I got

Can someone get rid of pop ups? I'm trying to steal content over here

Best non dev activity for me is riding public transports home after coding. It's so underwhelming that my brain focuses really well - comes with the problem of looking crazy when I take out my laptop in the middle of the subway

Rant story
Software engineering teacher gave me a bunch of topics to elaborate on. One of them was "the idea of black box testing", so I wrote down the idea of black box testing.
Teacher - this is very incomplete, you did not specify what types there are and for which systems they should be used!
Me- But it just says "the idea" and I did write down the idea of it
Teacher- yes, but it is very incomplete

God damn I wanted to punch her face. Some fucking teachers

😂😂😂

Normal gamer:
- How tf didn't he die?! It was a headshot!

Programmer:
- Fuck hitboxes.

...I think. THINK. That I might have indeed spent too much time in front of the computer...

Alright! So this is my issue. It’s supposed to do this but it does that. Alright, see. Firstly I do this, then that. Afterwards I have this loop though ... ohhhh now I get it.

*fixes three lines of code*

Thanks!

React Native developers:

Is it normal for the Expo app to suddenly go blank and stop working for no apparent reason, without showing any errors or logging anything? It happens all the time since I started using it and it's extremely frustrating

So everyone at the company I work for is getting a new machine before Christmas

Since I do a bunch of backend development and devops stuff (despite actually being hired as an Android developer), I requested that my machine use Linux, since that's what the servers run

Windows was the fallback OS I requested, since it's what I'm most familiar with

The machine that I will probably get will be a Mac

Stay tuned for further updates to this most thrilling of tales

If I had a dime for every single time a developer has been asked to fix a printer I’d have enough to afford the 3D version.

I think im sick. Not because my whole body hurts, my nose is running and i cant even move, but because i just had the idea that i should unit test my personal project.

Since I discovered devRant, looks like I stopped using instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

I love this community so much!!
It even has functions facebook and instagram doesn’t have!

Thank you @dfox and all the others! Hope it continues like this!

Thanks devrant!

Machine learning... might enslave us all in a few years, but for now it mostly just paints nice images. ("Devrant Avatar repainted in Expressionist style")

This is what happens when I'm asked to document something.

Coders! Who drinks behind the keyboard?
