What does @dfox say?

Q: How many Prolog programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Yes.

Right in the feels... 😂

Job interview today, wish me luck guys.
It's find another job or take my kids to work every day as the hours aren't possible as a single dad.

If you know you gave devrant a 1,2 or 3⭐ please update your ratings to a 4 and 5⭐ since the issues are already fixed.

My GF just selected all files on her harddrive and clicked "Open".

The look at her face when she figured out what she have done.

BONUS: She restarts her computer, and upon start she selects Yes to the "Your computer shutdown unexpected, would you like to re-open the applications" popup 😂

Am I the only one who hesitates to ++ a rant with 32, 64, 128, 256, etc ++'s?

I mean there's something satisfying about seeing 2^n numbers as an all-around computer nerd...

My morning:

Me: Why did you just delete the failing unit tests?

Intern: I debugged it for a while and found one of the other developers broke it with his recent changes. I couldn't fix it.

Me: Did you let him know he broke it?

Intern: No.

Me: So you just deleted it and decided to pretend the feature isn't broken?

Intern: ... No ... I mean ... well you told us yesterday we needed to have all the tests passing.

(I NEED a stress ball people)

"The reddit" or forty two function

Every damn time.

I put an Easter egg into a product, that if you enter the string "final countdown" into the stock code search field, it plays a YouTube vid of Europe's "The Final Countdown", in a hidden div. It's an in-joke for a few people in the company.

A well meaning maintainer with no sense of humour or judgement takes over and goes on the warpath against any hardcoded strings. The secret code gets moved into a config file.

A third developer changes the deployment script so that it clears any configs that aren't explicitly set in the deployment settings.

So the secret code is now "".

Literally every PC in the stock buying department is now blaring out "The Final Countdown" at top volume.

...Except none of them have speakers, so it remains this way for over a year and two more changes of maintainer.

I just noticed this afternoon and quietly re-hardcoded the string. The buying dept.'s PCs will silently sing no more.

hope this isnt a repeat. have a great weekend guys!!!!!

I really love programming!

Whenever I do a search on Google and it returns no results, I feel like I won the internet.

As a full stack C# developer who prefers backend: 1000% this

I saw a programmer today...!

When I am trying to figure out what's going on in the code

This is how cables are meant to be! 😍

Ever visit a site/web app that's so bad you want to build them a new one for free?

Good sticky notes ever...

Not a rant but seemed appropriate. I was finding Pokemon at my desk while reading clientsfromhell.com and this happened

I went to Paris for my first interview (that was 1989) for a job of Unix kernel developer. All dressed up. I step out of the elevator and see a young punk with scruffy hair and different colour shoes. I reckon he must be the pizza delivery guy. I ask him "dude, can you please point me to the CEO's office for interview". He said "sure, follow me man, I'll show you". We arrive at a desk, he sat down in the big chair and looks at me with a big smile and says "Ok dude, here we are. I am the CEO. Now let's see how good you are!"
I got the job. And 26 years latet, last week, amazing coincidence: I met him again at a trade show in Paris ... with the same coloured shoes. How cool is that!!!

Fixing bugs like:

Well I just learned the value of reading comments on code

Been working on issue for 3-4 days 30 seconds after reading documentation and adjusting accordingly everything is working perfectly

I feel so stupid :(

Started working at a large company with promises of a great framework, stable environment and bleeding edge tools, decentralised working environment, only to find visual studio 2010, no git, no project management tooling whatsoever, all documentation stored on svn, no slack or other modern communications platform, still using uploaded word documents as documentation for projects and meetings, so yeah I can truly say :/

Pointer array.
