The forbidden pillows.

I recently deleted a bunch of bookmarks from between 2002 and 2014. None of the websites even worked anymore.

Waiting for someone to chime in how it is technically possible for this to occur...

Testing on prod without getting the whole world to collapse

My 27" 8-core imac, i7, 3.8ghz, AMD radeon pro 5500, 40 GB RAM 512 GB storage,

keeps screaming in agony.

But never stuttered.
Never lagged.
Never glitched
Never failed
Never ran out of memory

I can just hear how hard the the ventilation was going. It was getting loud.

I touched its ass from behind. It was heated up and there was lots of dust from the holes

This has been going on for several days but i ignored it knowing what kind of a beast machine i have (big mistake)

Intellj popped up notification to disable hints in order to improve cpu usage performance.

Immediately it struck me. Hold on lemme check the activity monitor stats and find out why my imac has been screaming for days

Turns out intellj is using over 1090% of my fucking CPU?????

THAT SHIT U SEE ON THE IMAGE WENT ABOVE 1100% OF CPU USAGE AND IT WAS ONLY 1 PROCESS CAUSING IT - INTELLIJ

WHAT???

My dumb CEO just hired an even dumber CTO. The new CTO asked me the following questions...

1. What is GitHub?

2. What is JSON?

3. What’s an array?

4. What is Get and what is Post?

5. When an iPhone is offline, can it call an API on our server to tell us it’s offline?

6. I know you’ve spent 11 month the writing this backend in PHP but can you change it to Java now?
Me: Why?
Dumb CTO: Because it’s better.
Me: How?
Dumb CTO: because it is.

7. I know you’ve started to rewrite this codebase I Java but can you convert it to Node.JS now?
Me: Why?
Dumb CTO: Because Facebook uses it.

8. What is MySQL? Why aren’t you using a database instead?

9. What does NULL mean?

Somehow, I doubt that asshole is remotely qualified for the job.

Fakin shyt for brains.

Update on my old rant: I started writing type definitions for our project (it's basically a chunk of separate files where you document the objects you use; typed languages have this out of the box, js doesn't and it may become useful depending on the size of the project). Our codebase is reasonably big -not complicated, but big- and I felt like I was losing track of all the properties\objects\usage\comments\whatever. So I iiterally wrote some ts interfaces: properties with name and types, that's it, so you know what you're passing around.
Proposal was denied, I'll have to delete the documentation; "keeping the doc updated is going to require more work".

Me: Ok, but what am I supposed to do when I need to interface with your code? Run the debugger and figure out what the fuck you guys are passing around?
Team leader: Yes 😊

> Advice to new coders

Don't worry over picking language A or B.
Just pick A, use it for a month, then move on to B.
In a normal 3 year college degree you'll try multiple languages, some of which you'll never use again, and they'll each teach you something.

I had classes in Java, C, C++, C#, Prolog, Assembler, F#, JS.

Never used F# again and no one uses Prolog. But they were great for learning recursion and logic.

It's not like you take "a step down a bad path" if you pick a language you're never gonna use again.

You'll also learn new stuff on the job. We have one team that uses Go and one that uses Rust. None of the devs ever studied those languages. They were mostly former Java devs who leaned on the job.

When you're programming instead of sleeping but you would like to rest the same. Please tell me how...

wtf YouTube

99 little bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, 1 bug fixed...compile again, 100 little bugs in the code. 🐞

Not a rant but I'm too excited not to post it. I proposed, she said yes!

Stress ball arrived, cant find it.

When you want a stress ball but can't think of a good rant

My life in one sentence...

How my day went making a magento exstension, with their shitty documentation

Pretty much sums it up.

Appreciating the little things... Like having ports on my 2013 macbook.

Just learned new skills...

Lolz for git messages.

when @dfox +1'd my rant i was like

Starting my first front end dev job in 3 weeks AAHHHHH!!

The imposter syndrome is real.

So im colorblind and i just recently found out that most IDEs use color syntax and it sounds like such a good idea.

Hey there
I joined DevRant today and found out you have to get 10++ so you can make an avatar. Anybody halp?

New to DevRant. Hello all

Are there any developers out there interested to start a repo on GitHub, we build something cool for fun(also good for sparring)?

So Dropbox said "fuck the cloud, let's go analog"?

Code review measurement : Wtfs per minute.

When you're new to devRant and badly want an avatar but don't want to stoop to begging for ++s...
