Am just chilling taking some coffee while some a**holes think a f**king AI will take my place.

I don't get paid to write code only, most of my work is architecting, fixing bugs, maintaining, monitoring and a lot more your AI can't do for now or anytime soon, i guess. AI is one of the tools that help me cook, you can say it helps a lot.

Do you know something else, i get lot of jobs because some AI freaks create junks and hallucinated codes and they come to me to align it with their business goals and fix their never ending loop with AI trying to fix their sh*t.

I f**king love AI, it create more job for me and its a helpful tool, so how am i being replace ? Am just taking a coffee while more jobs are being created out there for me.

Got to stage 3 of 5 of an inteview and just discovered the person at stage 4 decides who is qualified to continue, interviews are crazy this days, am lucky i got a job and am not desperate else i would be screwed by this assholes 😡.

Can you imagine a backend focused engineer reviewing frontend PR because there is only one frontend engineer ? the frustrating aspect is the fact that the engineer gave baseless, false and crazy comments on things he has little idea on, i can't imagine having to school a backend engineer on a PR it soon start to look like war on the PR.

Test should be independent and isolated from each other so that they can be run in any order and still produce same result.

I thought we all know this. I was solving an online test were am to validate name,email, ID e.t.c with some constraints given on each field without using a validation library.

some unit tests were written which I can clearly see but can't modify(made sense) but if I choose to validate email it's unit test will not pass until I validate name, and this happens as long as you dont follow the order, this doesn't make sense.

my conclusion, it's either this is intentional or someone has done a bad job. I think this is a bad job since there is no instruction that gives any clue about this.

what do you think about this ?

A backend dev just told A frontend dev via slack that documentation is not necessary for backend and provided a backend PR for backend feature the frontend dev needed, he said the implementation is easy, am I dreaming or what the he'll is going on here 😩😩

Guess what ? the entire backend has no documentation 🤣🤣🤣🤣, just search the PRs you frontend freaks 😜, I feel sorry for my friend 🤣🤣🤣

Don't work with time, work with target, my father taught me that. It seems similar to don't stop when you are tired but when you are done!!!

Well that helped me when I started my dev career but over the years I had to be wise how I apply the rule so I don't have assholes sucking life out of me in disguise.

Why would she contact me for a job that needs ASAP attention and not show up after I gave her my salary expectation, I bet she is expecting a $1-$2 salary expectation from me, crazy recruiters I wonder if there's a university for that shit,

Hi guys, another recruiter shit!!!!

Have you ever felt this way?

Taking a tour back in my developer life when I have little experience on my stack I spend days trying to fix bugs and finish tasks.

The funny thing is that I felt I was working much harder and earning less and I felt being used but that's not true because its hard to say that due to my little experience and besides those bugs won't show up if I had much experience, the bugs are very much avoidable and to crown it all an experience developer will fix it in little time, though I won't consider myself super experienced but at least I can say am better than those times and to me I have achieved some level of experience to look back at my misconceptions in the past.

This is not joke but fact

More than a year ago I write code without tests, I must confess its frustrating trying to debug without proper testing. testing is painful I must admit but you can't compare the confident you have on your code with the pains when writing tests.

About a year ago I wrote a whole software without tests and this words from a friend hunted me everyday till date he said, what cannot be tested cannot be trusted. Wise words.

Dear <<First Name>>
I Was going through my mails and I saw this shit!! I call it WHEN TECH GOES WRONG 😂😂😂 but nevertheless it could happen to anyone

Turns out devrant is a school even for the experience because I just learnt something new today

FUCK YOU PAY ME!!!!

I love this, all thanks to devrant

Worked for a bozo I met on freelancer platform, we communicated and the dude gave me some tasks on mobile to theme the application and add some specifics I wasn't awarded project and I thought I was playing nice in order to win project and show ability whatfffff!!!!!, I didn't see it coming. To cut story shot I finished the job sent the apk and sent the code and the guy never responded again, what am I please ? a bozo too or a dunce and a Dunder head. I can't explain what I just did.

got two client who have an idea and walk up to us saying we should do whats best for the idea, We took up the project came up with the features and all specifics including deadline and client was ok, later on client says some things dont makes sense and reshaped idea, since we greatly want to increase our custumer base we took the change and of course deadline is altered later on client says the project Is taking long and insist that their change couldn't have caused the change in deadline. What the devil is that for? Well what I did was behave before the client and curse the shit in their lives behind doors

CEO wants some Genie magic!!!!

I work at a start-up were we have interns from the university go through trainings and mentorship before joing our team. Budget is very tight and spending is unthinkable.

Took me a lot of pains and sleepless night, reading of tech books and lot of strength to be were I am and I still do it because I want more but recently I got into intense coversation with CEO and he wants me to do some genie magic, he is like.....

CEO: we need more hands to do client work and build our products base , why is it difficult for New developers to start working on our code base?

ME: those guys are not developers, there is a big margin between being a developer and a university graduate in the country.

I was wondering after the whole stuff , if those guys can just grab this thing and become genius overnight, well if that happens then I am screwed, it will imply I am an asshole who spent time at simple things but we know this things can be uneasy to wrap your head around especially when the concept or language is new to you, I was pissed up at the meeting and gave some anoying unreasonable options which tells I was angry, at the end that understood my point and we got a way forward and reasonable

Working at a start-up company and i must confess its blood sucking like you've got some vampires sucking life out of you. I have to work like a donkey or camel and sometimes feel like am right in the middle of hell , lots of requirements, changes, fixes, updates, and more products stuffs that pissed you up, I don't know what am feeling right now but I only know am coding and have to take some shit feelings out!!!!

why does freelancer sites makes it very difficult for newbies into their sites to get jobs ?

Got invoved in a project that has to do with deploying a healthcare mangement system in local health care centres across states and this centers don't have internet access but we could use solar to power those centers so we don't have issue with power but how do i get the local data to internet since we need those data online

Developed an app for an ionic developer with React Native becos his boss ask for it and 8hours before presentation he ask for code to make minor modifications I never ask him if he knew react native but gave him the link to the repo becos I was told he can adopt anything fast😲 fast? enough to learn react native in 8h understand the code and make modifications? 😂😂well that sound super genius. To cut it short he had to ask me to do the job😅😅. And I was like should have said you dont now react native it ain't IONIC!!

Javascript drama is a never ending horror. I was building an app for a client that says he want reactnative and I used The Platform module without importing guess what? I never saw an error but that part of the code didn't just work and no crashes this is crazy no wonder apps built in JavaScript don't show error in dev but crashes in production javascript is just one comedy that won't cease creating unessary bugs that should not be allowed at the first place, js is just crazy in someways

Sometimes you get confused which programing language is the best or what technology is the best and which one sucks. A lot of bad reason to leave and other reason to stay in a language or technology can any tecnology be completely free from critic's? ?

Hmmm!!! google photos me null? am no null shit.

its really this hard trying to walk your way up.

imagine building an app using javascript(react-native) that get list of skills which will be displayed to the user to select and the same list displayed as interest for the user to do the same if you try to treat them seperately but from the same source you get a shit result e.g

const list = responseFromApi;//array of object
let skills = list;;
let interest = list;

skills.checked = true;

interest is changed and the list constant variable is changed the values change were ever the list variable is assign to a variable and the variable is tempered.

the above code was the fustration i got with javascript when i didnt know of the mutation guy.

Mutation is a nightmare never knew javascript object are passed by reference which make them mutable this sucks....

another crazy behavior below though the same;

const person = {name:'Dan',age:43} //object
let person0 = person;
let person1 = person;
person1.name = 'David'
the value of both person0 and person get change.

this is madness .

only programmers can tell what this feels like sometimes it not funny expecially when trying to fix a bug.

Do apk's keep record of IDE's that was used to develope them.
Pls show your sympathy for a poor dev like me.
A 400 level student in computer science came to me to develop a mobile app for his final year project, i decided to take the deal. i used react-native to build the app. when i finished the project the aim was achieved but then came the biggest stupid question "which IDE was used for the project?" i answered vsCode. then he said "The IDE i was supposed to use was Android studio" i told him that is not a problem i could use any IDE i prefer its all the same all i need to do is set up the enivronment and he answerd "i have failed my project" he lamented i asked why and he said because his lecturer said the apk must be generated from android studio. i understand that the problem was not because i didnt use pure java(android) or because i used react-native(java(android) but because i didnt use android studio to build the app . i began to question my knowledge "do apk files keep record of ide that was used to develope them? pls help me maybe some apk do. i didnt know how to convince him everything was ok because it seems he is not technically incline he just one of those guys who are taught programing on the white board not on a computer and have no real experience. he later accepted to submit the project like that since the dead line is close and hope to see a fat F on his result but later told me he got an A in the project.
