Oh my fucking God, the non dev we have on our team has no indentation or syntax filter whatsoever. I wouldn't be surprised if she has an unmatched or unclosed bracket somewhere. I'm gonna have to go in there and clean that shit up.

Another playdoh creation at work. embodies me work style.

Love your job in simple steps

I was 12 and saw that Google had a slide in there office, instantly sold.

When I was taking a programming course as a Mathematics prerequisite, and then object oriented programming basics (inheritence, interfaces specifically) all just clicked at once. Immediately decided I was going to pursue the computer science major instead of math.

I'm 30 years old, sometimes I feel old to study computer/web programming.

What do you think? If it's not true, what can I do to change the way I think about it?

Think I finally figured out a clean way to get the data I need out of the system. The data format has it's origins in what was practical for computers in the 1960s. TGIF - I'll enjoy believing I've solved it all the way until monday.

I feel like DevRant owes me some Vitamin D.

Recipe for Ice Coffee:
1: Make Coffee
2: Start coding
3: Forget you made Coffee
4: Drink it cold

Me: 'if you can, favour code that reads like prose. It is easier to understand and maintain'

devRant is great because it keeps me in the mood to programme, create and envision new projects. Cheers guys.

It's a headache when your code works in IE, but not in Chrome or Firefox.

After two days i just had to create an account. so glad a collegue of mine showed me devRant. Well, time to continue my beginner Python course.
yay

When it's time to code but damn it, I'm not done biting these God forsaken fingernails.

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

I don't even...

want a mentor to start an open source project.

I've no experience on contributing to and working on open source projects.

Since we are posting workspace setups...

Lenovo 100s Chromebook and Raspberry Pi 3 running Arch Linux and an attached hard drive.

SSH and Vim are my friends.

Why did the developer quit his job?

Because he didn't get arrays

I found a solid solution for clickbaiting!

Worked with a European consulting company to integrate some shared business data (aka. calling a service).
VP of IT called an emergency meeting (IT managers, network admins) deeply concerned about the performance of the international web site since adding our services.
VP: “The partner’s site is much slower than ours. Only common piece that could cause that is your service.”
Me: “Um, their site is vastly different than ours. I don’t think we can compare their performance to ours.”
VP: “Performance is #1! I need your service fixed ASAP!”
Me: “OK, but what exactly is slow? How did you measure their site? The servers are in Germany”
VP: “I measured performance from my house last night.”
Me: “Did you use an application?”
VP: “<laughs> oh no, I was at home. When I opened the page, I counted one Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, then the page displayed.”
Me: “Wow…um…OK…uh…how long does our page take to load?”
VP: “Two Mississippi’s”
Me: “Um…wow…OK…wow…uh, no, we don’t measure performance like that, but I’ll work with our partners and develop a performance benchmark to determine if the shared service is behaving differently.”
VP: “Whatever it is, the service is slow. Bill, what do you think is slowing down the service?”
NetworkAdmin-Bill: “The Atlantic Ocean?”
VP got up and left the meeting.
