Oh Dell, why do you think that more thermal paste is better? It got crusty and my beautiful laptop started throttling... good job it was easy to sort! Would have hated to have had to get rid of the machine.

Anyone looking for a .NET developer to work from home? UK based, hard working and a good laugh

So how the fuck am I meant to get any work done with no admin access to my machine, no access to the databases I need to work with, firewall rules stopping me from doing anything from AWS so I can’t get to my data? Deadline in about a week... fuck that noise!

TFW your company decides to use 'ALT-Enter' as a quick fix shortcut in their tools aimed at non-devs

Joomla... just why? And you thought wordpress could be rough!

Newbie advice:
Break large problems into smaller problems then use the smaller problems to name tour functions/methods

That feeling when the company you only started working for a month ago appreciates your input!

You know when you're tired and want to go to bed, but your brain goes "Shame about that. I've got a million ideas that you need to try out now"

I can make sales people's lives easier or harder based on how I prioritise tasks... They learn to use manners when they realise my power!

Thinking about getting a surface book but can only afford an 8gb one... Will it be enough or should I look elsewhere for more ram? Decisions decisions...

F# is making me start to dislike C#

Anyone think we should have a community where we can moan about recruiters too?

Wishes @dfox could make devRant work in landscape mode on android - The case for my Nexus 9 won't stand it in portrait.

Fucking slave traders who want to "touch base" - They ain't coming anywhere near my base, horrible fuckers!

Why can't they just phone or better still email me!?

The new iPhone will be out soon. For those who want to know what new features will be coming with it: have a look at last generation android phones.

I found a recruiter that read my CV. My CV, he READ it... ALL of it!

I'm keeping this one, he is very well trained!

At the top of my current CV (the only one with current contact details on it) is the line "I am only looking for remote working roles" in bold. Why is it that over 90% of recruiters who contact me want to place me in a role where I would have to commute to an office, mostly over an hour's drive each way? Then they wonder how they get a bad reputation? FML!

I have stickers!

Of course I can change someone else's code to do something totally different, understand it and all within an hour of your call... on a Sunday morning! 😠

As lead developer I was not allowed to implement automated testing as "we don't have time for that" - you have no idea how much time it would save!
