A.I steals my job; introduce devRant to A.I; A.I gets too busy ranting about all the stupid shit humans have messed up; Get my job back.

We were doing some temp work, and a girl we were working with had gone out to talk to her boyfriend on the phone.

1. Flip screen orientation 180 degress
2. Take screenshot
3. Set that as wallpaper and flip back
4. Hide icons, hide taskbar, move taskbar to far right edge
5. Invert mouse movement
6. Invert mouse buttons
7. Flip back 180 degrees, everything looks normal.

Sit back, relax and watch the show.

P.S. she gave up, we had to fix it.

Ranted about that porn work prank.

Forgot a joke the senior linux engineer pulled with me.

I came back from the toilet and sat down. Logged in. Cursor was on the left screen. Looked away and then back. Cursor was on the right screen.

*wait what? hmm must be my memory.*
*looks away and turns back*
*wait did that cursor just move.....?*
*damn what's up with me...?!?*
*turns around and looks back VERY quickly*
*cursor moves all over the screen*

*looks at front usb inputs*
*notices a wireless receiver*

*laughing from the corner where the senior linux engineer is sitting*

MOTHERFUCKER.

My girlfriend's dad asked me to fix his printer.

I open it up, pulled the cartridge, blowed some air and put it back again.

It worked.

He now thinks I am a genius.

When you fuck something up with a customer and you very nervously apologize and they come back with 'apology accepted, we both learned something out of this!'

Thank you dear sir 😅👌

Enough of this!!! I need a break.
*Gets up partially from chair*
*Looks back at the code, gets an idea*
*Sits down again for couple of hours*

That moment when your boss is introducing the new guy and you are silently making a list of all the git repos you need to back up before he makes it to his desk.

Few of us went to the break. After 20 minutes or so, this one guy just stands up, says he’ll be right back, and leaves. We figured he went to the toilet or something. He never came back

When the inventor of the USB stick dies, they'll gently lower the coffin, then pull it back up, turn it the other way, then lower it again.

When the Kickstarter you back doesn't follow up on its promises

I named my hard drive "dat ass," so once a month my computer asks if I want to "back dat ass up".

Dropped out of college. Got a job. Happily earning while doing what I love doing.
I still meet wise asses who tell me “...but you should still go back and get a degree...just to be safe”.

Shut the fuck up guys, just SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FUCK DEGREES

Me: "Back your phone up, or you'll regret it."

*6 months later

Them: "I've locked myself out of my phone, how do I get my pictures back?!"

Me: "Did you back it up?"

Them: "No..."

Me: 🙃

01. Woke Up
02. Masturbated
03. Took shower
04. Woke up my computer from sleep
05. Windows wants to update
06. I'm going back to sleep

I have been up for 3 days now, coding. I am dangerously ahead of master.

To late to turn back now.
This fucker is getting pushed.

So this guy called me. I hung up at the second 'ring'. He called again and I hung up immediately. I mean without picking up.

Please, get the hint, I'm fucking busy. Leave a message, I'll call you back if needed.

But don't try and contact me a THIRD TIME in a time frame of 1 minute. Not through WhatsApp. That's borderline harassment GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Still haven't been paid for completed a retail shop project. But all is well, since the system will not start on Black Friday till I remove the if condition 😈

Welp. Time to mess with a new distro
*sudo rm -rf /*

*looks at screen* I forgot to back up my db's :|

when u spend 2 hours desperately trying to fix a bug. Give up, off the computer and get ready for bed. the moment you get comfortable and ready to sleep. You solve the problem mentally in ur head. Get back up, on the computer and continue coding.

When your backup hard drive fails and you're desperate to get the data back

"Schrödingers CPU": When your processor randomly and for no apparent reason spins up to 100% and brings the whole system to a halt. Bringing up task manager takes forever,
and when it finally appears so you could see what process is the culprit, it quickly drops back to normal again leaving you with no clue on what happened.

Contacted ProtonVPN support few days back.
Issue resolved, the Support guy ended up asking about my username's relation with Call Of Duty...
And that's how I ended up making another friend.

Been trying to debug a problem this whole morning.. Gave up, went outside for a smoke.. Came back and bug is no where to be found...

Manager: I NEVER SAID THAT!!

Dev: *Brings up email where he said exactly that*

Manager: I DON’T REMEMBER ASSIGNING YOU A TICKET TO LOOK THAT UP. GET BACK TO WORK!!

Dev: …

When you modify some config files, don't make back ups and mess up:

I'm having low motivation these days.. waking up, showering, breakfasting, and already do I want to get back to sleep.. even extra caffeine doesn't seem to help anymore... What's wrong with me? ._.

I got a call at 12:30 one night a few months back. Apparently some back-end scripts I edited to fix an automated test setup crashed around 75 test pc's and halted somewhere around 2000 tests. I quickly jumped on, fixed the issue, and got everything back online.

I was up all night certain I would get fired. First thing in the morning the client says welcome to the club some, of the best have done the same thing.

Fuck yeah!! The power supply that I've been working on since last week is all cleaned up and back in action 😁😁😁

I need someone to back this up and tell more stories of the olden days 😂

Clients who don't get back to you for weeks and then suddenly need it done urgently. Just once I would love to say "sorry, booked up, no can do."

*suddenly wakes up thinking I'm late for work*

*Realises it's a holiday*

*Goes back to sleep again*

PS: Sadly this happens every other day of week :/

I once figured out a fix for my bug in my dream. Luckily, I woke up at 2 in the morning and wrote the fix down and went back to sleep. The next morning, the whole thing felt like a dream.

Since I've got back up plan now, FUCK programming!!

My favorite method?

Step 1: Meet Morpheus
Step 2: Swallow red pill
Step 3: Wake up from the Matrix
Step 4: Upload needed Knowledge directly to my brain
Step 5: Go back to Matrix

Working with clients Across the globe.

12 pm their time.
This page is down, can you get it back up.

3am my time
Ok. You're just lucky I don't sleep.

I was asleep and woke up and just had the thought: fuck Oracle and fuck Oracle DB. Going back to bed now 😴😴😴

I was working on my PC, picked up my phone to order food (hunger is killing me)
devRant app was already open
*used it for like 10min, puts it back
*Forgot to place order*
Picked it up again, writing this rant!!

Cleaned up my Facebook timeline.. I actually posted a “there are 10 types of people..” joke back in 2011..

Shame on me...

I love coming back to old code from when I was learning a new language and cleaning it up/making it better. It confirms that’s I’ve learned something :)

Everytime I back up a db...

finally gave up smoking for good, man it feels good to be free from addiction, now, back to c++

A fitness guy was walking and dropped his credit card.

I grabbed it and ran up to him to give it back.

He jumped like a scared rabbit and said rudely, "you scared the shit out of me", took the card back and walked off without even a thank you.

So much for Canadian politeness.

The only good thing about morning classes is going back home to sleep and still waking up at a reasonable time.

Glad to be back!

Here's something that came up in the online class today 😂

A string array...

Back in College, I knew guys who when asked for Github profiles for an interview, signed up for Github and submitted their profile links.
Genius!

My ISP decided to send me back to the dial-up era today....

God is cruel.

Me: tells computer to restart

Linux: immediately boots down and started back up

Windows: CaNnOt ReStArT bEcAuSe BaCkGrOuNd SyNc Is RuNnInG

Today in work I spotted a shoddy solution within the system. When I looked up who'd implemented it I found out it was me 6 months ago... Feel like going back in time and giving myself a slap

Hey welcome back depression and feeling of uselessness, i thought we broke up in the hospital but seems like some exes stay with people.

Buy a fitness tracker which reminds you after an hour of inactivity to get up.
Get up, walk around or even better climb some stairs, get back to work.

My macbook's making a very faint but very weird gurgling sound 😰 I better back up my code

Everytime I see Cybertruck pics I see people tied up on hoods and other wildlings riding in the back with spears and guns

Had a nightmare last night that I had to give up dev and go back to managing a supermarket. Think this deadline is starting to get to me.

*coding*

*notices coffee is cold, puts it on stove with flame burner on low, to warm up*

*sits back down, goes back to coding*

*hears fizzing popping sounds... coffee overflows and boils*

FUCK - every other day for the past month ,every single time... lol

Some say you are not a true developer if you haven't accidentally deleted shit and spent several hours restoring that shit!

Okay, no one says that. I made it up. I idioted today. I accidentally rm -rfed my workspace directory and lost all my code.

Now I'm re-syncing stuff back into place from my remote back up.

Git ❤

Dear every single Samsung owner I see, if you spend $200+ on a life proof case but still end up with your screen and back smashed... I think you have bigger problems than just a smashed phone...

"Do the back up later."

Well, I wouldn't be worried about it if we did have any for last 4 years!

Coming back to web development after being in the army! Ready to pick up where I left out!

If AI steals my job I will overthrow it by making so many new JavaScript Frameworks every day, it will give up and give me my job back.

Ok I give up. I concede. I can't take one more second of trying to get ANY window manager to run under Arch with an Nvidia GPU.

Back to Debian it is...

Tried to do a startup for a year, did not make loss but did not get the funding to keep going. Now going back to previous company and taking up the old job. 😔

"Rant/Story"

Dayum.
Prestory and afterstory:
Today I have slept for around <2 hours and had to drive to my college.

The real shit happens right now.

Story:
During these almost 2 hours, I have dreamed about going back in time, but being limited on the same day's hours.
In other words... It was e.g. 16 o'clock and the time travelled back into the past. Like into a "0830 ish" morning. The day would then come to an end and start with the next day. For example from Monday to Tuesday.
I was able to look into the future whenever I wanted to.
Even though I was driving my car in the first gear, it would drive into the reverse direction.
Time suddently switches direction and everything is going as it should be. Greeting people in the streets as I would do normally.
And all of the sudden time decides to switch its direction again and I have to do things in reverse.
At some point I found something like a hidden room which had a door. I opened it and went into the "room" (it was a special place. It had no walls at all). It had a door at the other side of the room. I went through it and saw another one in the last room. It felt like, if I decide to go through that door, I would instantly die. I therefore moved all the doors back into the dream world.
Such a confusion gave me a fucking headache lol.

After waking up from such a fucking complicated dream, time irl felt fucking weird lmao.

My alarm began to do its job. It tried to wake me up at 6:30 am, at 6:45 am and at 6:50 am.
But all the time along it felt like it began to wake me up at 6:50 am down to 6:30 am.

You a front end dev?
Try sass or less, you will love it,
You will never be able to go back to css
😂
Please up vote after learning

You’re always telling people the importance of backing up important files, but do they listen? Of course not. Sometimes you have to simply sit back and wait for natural consequences to teach them that lesson.

So my wife got laid off from her job aaaaaaand that puts me back again in the hunt for freelance bs to cover up her income until she finds something decent........dis is gon suck bad man.....

Well, this is awkward!

(Had this notification pop up on my lock screen a few days back (OnePlus 5 user))

Reinstalling Android Studio.
It takes a while.
So you take a rest, exercise a little. Sure, it will installed when you'll come back ready to throw yourself into deep work, with fresh energy.

You come back.
There is a pop up: Do you want to send usage data to google ? Nothing installed yet.

Only Yes/No option. Where is the "Fuck you" option?

!rant

Hey guys!!! just signed up... but have been coming here everyday for the last few weeks.. it feels awsome to be here guys... :D
Gotta deliver part of a project tomorrow, soo... back to coding

If you ever get a problem with your Linux,
DO NOT EVER try out an answer on any random forum without reading all the comments/replies.
The problem spreads like a freaking wildfire and you will end up reinstalling Linux and losing data what wasn't backed up. (If by God's grace, you do a regular back up)

Haven't used dR for long so Idk how many people have already ranted about this...but here goes nothing.
ANDROID 10 NAVIGATIONS
Fucking irritating piece of shit !!!
Ughhh!
I can get understand the swipey swipe for back etc. But the "swipe up + hold " for recent apps just makes me cringe !!!!!
Ok, Some how you manage to open the recent apps by precisely fingering your phone.
You gotta go back to home screen from recents ??
Open a recent app then swipe up for home.
Two fucking gestures to go back to home screen !
Or click the close all apps button for home screen.
This is non sense.
Pls enlighten me if I am missing something.

I want the two button navigation back 😭

First day of vacation after 5 months of overtime... aaaaand I'm stuck in bed with a back issue.
Can't even code all the things I had in mind. Nice holidays incoming yay...
At least I have devrant.

Over 3 years since my last rant... you might think lifes been like.... 🍹😎

It hasn't!

But, it's good to be back here with fresh new material. 🍿

Buckle up... "Where we're going, we don't need..." managers!

When your internal timezone automatically changes over the weekend and you have to get it back to "normal" but then somehow end up not sleeping at all 😅😐😑😪

Long time ago i signed up to Devrant. After this i relocated... Finally bought me a new #Toy :)
Happy to be back and to see some old names 🙂🙂🙂

Me: *makes todo list for things that need to be done today*

Also me: *wakes up late, eats breakfast, goes back to bed*

10 year old: I don't know why I'm tired.

Me: Maybe because you stayed up so late. Were you watching Back to the Future?

10 year old: Yeah, it was awesome!

Me: You're off the hook.

Don't you just love it when relatives ask you to "fix his computer" and you end up opening it up to remove dust that's from 100 years back.. Oh, and for free of course since "we're relatives"

Trying to get my 'patience for Idiots' threshold back up to 15 minures. Not easy.
The problem is - you need to listen to them talking for 20 minutes before 30 seconds of relevant and actual info comes up.

I gave up on investing $2000 in Bitcoin back in 2011.

While my friend invested $10 at the same time and sold the Bitcoins in 2012.

Sad life.

So last week I ranted about the hours I was working, great start this week I'm up at 03:00 to go up north, not going to get back till 20:00 ish. Tomorrow I have to be in Wales for 09:00 so going to have to be up at 04:00 for a 5 hour travel time. Check my emails and my boss says after I get back from Wales tomorrow can we have a design and specification meeting about a "super urgent" product that we have to develop. Oh and Thursday I have to prep everything for going live with a new product Friday.

Have an idea for a fun little side project coding a game. Install Unity and read up some samples.
Remember I'm awful at any kind of creative design work.
Get sad and go back to Overwatch.

Dead to the world for a while and I'm back to bitch about how hard it is to come up with a thesis project. Woe is me, hope you're all having a better Thursday than I am

Worked on a 13 inch laptop for one year straight. Back and neck started to get really f'ed up.

I bought a 27" monitor and still lean forward and my neck is still fucked.

Give up, start notebook, cry, yell, scream, pull hair out, close notebook, come back in a few months and finish it in one day. 😐

Oh my God I'm a failure. Been working on this booking system backend for two weeks, refactored some code, and now it doesn't work at all.

I've gone back through the entire thing, and I can't find the problem.

Open up indeed, start browsing for low-skill jobs. Maybe the carnies will have me back!

*Re-reads error message, adds missing underscore to function call.

Never start watching a series while gradle is building. You end up not finishing coding your app on time instead you watch a whole season before you get back to coding.

I hope and wish that a big company will support/back up VueJS. Maybe then VueJS can be commonly seen as a job requirement.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk?

Woke up an hour early today.
I could get up and be at work early, so I can leave earlier to use the afternoon on this nice spring day.
Or I could go back to sleep because I'm still a little bit tired.

-> Scrolling through devRant an hour and a half.

CI came up with 265 errors. (deploying to an old server to bring it back).

I make some very clever fixes and run it again.

Now we have 269 errors.

-_-

I forget to commit changes when I get something working. Then regret it when I monumentally screw something up and have nothing to fall back on

In my ongoing quest to un-Google my life, I turned off the Whatsapp chat back up, which uses Google Drive. There's a message in that setting which says, "Media and messages you back up are not protected by Whatsapp end-to-end encryption while in Google drive".
Damn.
All my Whatsapp chats for years have been on Google servers in plaintext.
I assumed it uploaded one massive encrypted archive.

After long hours of intensive coding and no caffeine, goto bed because u realise it's 2AM. Wake up next day, look back at the came code, "what the hell was I tryin to do!"

I wish I could tell my dog not to get up from his comfortable position or sleep each time when I simply want to goto the bathroom or stretch.
Like bro no need I’ll be right back..

At first, I was skeptical and somewhat resilient of trying Arch Linux. As a former Debian based distros user, I have to say : once you go Arch you don't go back! Time to 🍚 it up a bit more!

School starts back up tomorrow 😭

The team spirit in our team has improved over the past 1 month with this etiquette..
*walk up to team member
*no greetings
Just say " bring yourself back online"
Watch them light up..share those ten Westworld seconds..ask for what you need
..and the hell back to your desk

Just came back from vacations and windows 10 thought it would be great to get fucked up...
It's been like this for 10 minutes... Restart won't solve... I think I will just go back to vacations...

My pm requested me to estimate few tasks on a new project(single page app), the problem was that he was creator of these tasks, so we ended up with

- Create back button
- Create next button
- Create table with contents
... etc

As I prefer to take things literally I estimated each task as they literally should (5 min for adding buttons etc). So all tasks together were estimated for about 5h, while whole project was estimated for 100MD. After few talks and discussions we ended up with:

- Create back button
- Create back button logic
- Create next button
- Create next button logic
etc

Finally got arch back up and running on the laptop after trying out ubuntu & manjaro dual boot for a while. Decided to use LARBS config's files and I gotta say this is pretty beautiful, it's nice to be back.

Coding practice == ProjectEuler == math + 2hrs == i dont get them.... I give up :(

Hm.... maybe I should go back to doing foobar...

Hey I still have my account :)

Back where I used to work, we had this a-hole call center guy who isn't a programmer but got promoted as our team leader. He said he used to program on his early days at the company (?) . He claims that made back-ups of his source code in MS Word and even tries to gives us a lecture about backing up programs.
I really hate those a-wipes who often get promoted and suddenly goes up to their heads

I'm back! I deleted my account awhile back, but some of the older members may still remember me. I got fired for using Google Chrome if that jogs your memory.

Anyways I'm actually a developer now! I graduated college in December and started my first dev job in February. I figured I'd sign back up here to be back with the community. Hello friends!

Exams started today. Came back from paper, went to sleep. Woke up and was told I had mail.

...

Yay!
Thanks, @dfox and @trogus!

Can anyone tell me How DEVS study for exams ?

Seriously Getting fucked up having xams back to back 25 days .

All day long I'm adjusting this chair up but it just keeps slowly going back down. Time to go back to a standing desk I guess.

Starting a new project:

1.Think of a new/exciting idea

2.Start imagining and planning in my head

3.Start working on my idea

4.Give up mid-way

5. Get depressed

6. Get back at it way behind schedule and still not complete it

7. Go back to step 1 except that's basically how I start something new and not just a project :)

I was cleaning up dangling images in docker, and I accidentally removed the production database container as well.

Its not a big issue, I can just up the container back and everything should be fine. But after I up the container and connected to the database, I found out there's no data inside. I thought I fucked up, and sent msg in slack channel that I nuked the db.

Later my friend asked me which compose file I am using and that's when I realized I used the wrong config to up the db. Used the correct config to up the database again and everything goes back to normal.

It's friday evening and if I really dropped the db it would be fucking bad weekend....

I think my boss hates me 🤭 she accepted my meeting invite, I made eye contact with her on my way to the meeting room, she just looked up and then back down. Now here I am, been waiting for her to show up for 10 minutes 🙃

Went back to Laravel from JS stack after a year. Thought I might have a lot of errors while setting up but everything is working so perfectly that I'm becoming suspicious 😕

ffs.
Got to the office in the morning. Boss says, ok we want to do a toast for one thing or the other. Got a nice glass of red wine. drank it. Nice wine. got back to my computer, and started to work. the boss man calls me back. I say whats up? he says, bottle of whiskey....

drunk coding is fun!

Don't you just hate it when you search for a solution to your problem and always end up back at your unanswered SO post?

After 13 months of 12 hour days going back to 7 hours, how will I explain productivity going up... (Been burnt out for last 10 months)

So I had my external HD connected so thought I'd back up my code...

But real into a problem... The git repo.... Currently copying 300,000 files... For just 10 projects...

Alright everyone, good day is over for today. Boss just showed up, back to being stressed.

I was told life would be easy once you're grown up. I signed up for trial not the whole package, I want to go back!!

A while back I spent weeks cleaning up our 20 or so .scss files, then went on vacation. Our backend guys were left alone to "float: left" and "position: absolute", literally everything.

Debugging in a dream and woke up... Tried to think about it while falling back asleep so I could go back in and finish.

Gotta love recruiters... Got contacted for a position a couple days back through LinkedIn, talked a bit back and forth, and set up a call for today.

I get up early for the call, prepare and then I get the call.

Caller: "So have you graduated yet?"

... Fucking look at my LinkedIn, can a degree be completed in a year? Yeah, thought so...

First day back after 2 week vacation.. It's not even lunch time here and I've already used up all the 'fuck!'s for today o.O

That feeling when you spend hours trying to fix something, only to give up.

Then you come back he next day and find you were missing a comma...

"Aww yeah, Bootstrap 4 is coming!"

Shut up bitch! I started 2 years back with web development when I was a noob and since then you are coming.

I was happily folowing a tutorial earlier on setting up an email server but the site got taken down for maintenance just as I reached the last step...

IT'S BEEN 6 HOURS NOW AND IT'S STILL NOT BACK UP.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING AND I'M GOING TO BREAK SOMETHING AND BE SAD.

Yesterday. I copied an image into flash drive. It was Kingston DataTraveler.
Plugged it into my destination.
Drive didn't show up.
Pulled it back and it smelled like burnt.
Packed it and sent it back to online retailer.

Graduated high school today. It fucking took long enough. My teachers sure as hell don't want me back, they were getting tired of my shit. Not showing up to class, sleeping when I did show up because I don't sleep much. But I made it.

So just read up that some companies based in china were able to attack Google back in 2009, all cause IE had a dangling pointer issue.

*Sarcastic claps*

Trying to sleep knowing you have at least 5 bugs to try to fix when you wake up so you go to devrant to complain about it just to go back to thinking about the bugs and not sleeping.

Finally, I got my laptop back after 4 gruelling days of separation with a new disc and more RAM!!!
I can't wait to finish up installing all the programmes I need to start writing code!!!

So just went for an interview that a slimy recruiter set up, 'yes they want experience in C#', great! Finally get back on top of my rent, sort my life out. Get to the interview, fucking C++ job...

I've had enough.

Definitely when my boss got me super hyped up that we were gonna start using MongoDB/node.js/angular or react, I spent hours learning the languages.

Then he comes up to me a few weeks later and decides to “pivot”

I wanted to cry. Back to coldfusion

Just rebooted my work station during a video conference because the VPN was flaking out.

After reboot, launch Teams to get back to the meeting. The VPN credentials dialog then pops up, but IS NOT MODAL, so I end up sending my password to the group chat...

Time to change my password, I guess.

Cons of SW development: even when I do get up regularly, walk around and stretch, at the end of a whole day my back hurts really mean.
If someone could get me a heat cushion right now, that'd be great.

If it worked 20 times already, that's no reason not to back it up before doing it the 21st time.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Making mistakes is the only way to learn from them and grow. F*ck sh*t up and build it back up again but better. Fall seven times stand up 8!

When I got X up and running at 1am for the first time on my first computer, 486 SX 25MHz with 8 MB or ram.

The program SuperProbe is probably depicted now, but it got me up and running back then.

that feel when you start up your PC, go to the toilet and come back with a fulle ready PC <3

Life is a continuance...
Of falling and breaking apart...
Of Breaking your heart and losing it...
Of gathering yourself back again...
Of getting up on your feet again...
As long as you gather yourself...
and keep getting up again...
You’re a winner...

I spend so much time developing, went to my parents and walkoutside. Cant believe i dont even remeber ever walking at the back part of this place. Actually looks nice. And they have been staying there for 5 years.

Anyhow. Back to the cave for me. Seems the internet is back up

My preferred BBS board has been down for a week. I'm starting to worry it might not come back up. I NEED TO READ DOVENET, DAMMIT!

Installing a new Linux distro and forgot to back up my SSH key from the last distro...

Feature request: swipe from rant to go back to list of rants. It would be easier than reaching up for the "back" button.

After trying 4 different versions of installation, applying patch, digging through obscure sites, down the rabbit hole, finally

ERROR at 97%

Back-up plan : Forget everything... buy land somewhere in the in the mountain and be a farmer.

When you "think" got rid of some errors and end up making 15 more errors. You be like "I WANT MY OLD ERRORS BACK RN!"

So I didn't boot up my Windows 10 from more that a month now (dual boot).
I wonder how many eternities it will take to update when I shut it down to switch back to Linux. :/

A client brought us a project once related to drones. Our team came up with a great solution for the problem and pitched it back to the client. After going back and forth and beating us up on the price, they ultimately got cold feet and stopped responding to us.

Flash forward several months and wouldn't you know it, NASA and Lockhead Martin have the same idea and file the patent. Could have been sitting pretty if the client just went through and filed our design first which would have barely cost anything.

- woke up at 2:00 AM to read,
- read how sleep makes you healthy, active, smart
- went back to sleep,
- wake up in the morning and felt freaking awesome,

~best decision of my life

There is a pretty large blackout going on.

At one of our customers a 20 years old sun was running. Backup power didn't suffice.
We will see whether the drives spin back up once power is back...

Got to love when the on-call takes their sweet-fucking time with the back-up. All this because the lazy douche did not what to verify the back-up was complete.

I saved my uni work onto a floppy disk (2001) and walked a mile into university library to print it. When I got there and put it into the computer it had corrupted and the disk was unreadable! Luckily I had a back up on my computer so had to walk the mile back, saved again onto two different floppy disks this time and walked the mile back. This time I managed to print it and deliver the work 5 minutes before the deadline.

I officially gave up on this semester of college! ✨🍻🎉
I'm coming back next year, but until then, I'm glad to disappoint my family

WFH and I got up to get a mouse for my laptop. Five minutes later, I sit back down with a plate of fish. Dammit, brain, wrong animal.

Just got my Linux dev environment set up, even got an alias working that would launch all the software I needed to test my code. Then today decided to change primary drives. At least I know how to set it back up next time, right?

So what do you call it when you get bombarded by emails saying your servers are at 100% CPU, but once you fire up the monitoring tools everything is back to normal?

FUCK YOU AMAZON IT'S MY DAY OFF.

Fuck you! Now back that up. 👈

Dev work estimation is harder when the higher ups gives you a one line jira description and expect you to provide them with a timeline. Like how many times i gotta send the ticket back up the pipeline ><

Just fixed my broken htc one m9 (boot loop after legitimate update) by powering it up month after putting in back to box for future repair. Who to blame? NSA? Android 7? SD Card?

Trying to install Fedora to use some Linux stuff

- have to try booting up 3 times to boot into the live env successfully

- keyboard doesn't work, try booting up again

- installer crashes

Yeah fuck this back to Windows it is.

I loved my Watch, i wore it everyday, and even bought a premium bracelet 40 euros or so... then, THE FUCKING BACK OF THE WATCH FELL OFF! LIKE THE FUCKING BACK! So i returned it... AND THESE CUNTS SEND ME A FUCKING REPLACEMENT WITHOUT MY FUCKING BRACELET! WHICH FUCK DID THIS! WHO CAME UP WITH THIS FUCKERY! FUCK!

Firefox Quantum broke mouse gestures of any kind in Linux by forcing the context menu to come up on right mouse down, instead of up.

Lots of people love Quantum, but without a viable mouse gestures extension, it's unusable for me. I downgraded back to 56 until this issue is resolved.

Not a rant, anyone else play League of Legends? Just started back up and it would be cool to game with some fellow ranters. Gaming releases my anger lol

when you work in a start up, and they give you the projects lead old chair, which has broken. doesn't go up or down, doesn't lock, and is ripped in several places.

I'm really feeling the love. hello sore back...

Ya boi is back - how's everyone holding up? :)

I hear Devs of all ages blaming everything on imposter syndrome. Everyone is scared and will get back stabbed by our rivals now and then. We cant build cool things if we don't suck it up and go balls out.

When you come back from work after filling up jira, talking with colleagues during too long stand ups and writing documentation it's time to finally sit down and write some pure code.

Three back-to-back meetings today: Stand-Up, Planning, and Retro ... AKA two full hours of hearing everybody’s problems and hearing all viable solutions dismissed because we have no time to fix what’s broken.

when viewing a profile and scrolled down enough to hide the avatar and the user description, it does not show up back again when scrolled up... is it a bug or a feature? 😂 @dfox

>closes laptop to let it cool down at 5:10PM
>5 minutes later, boots back up on its own and doesn't go back to sleep
>opening and logging back in
"We have an important update for you planned for 5:30PM"
OH NO YOU DON'T, you fucker!

Shit like this makes me wanna call Windows the McDonald's of operating systems.

When you have an important presentation and you are so ready for it, and then you find out you forgot to pack your charger and that you didn't back up the presentation somewhere online and nobody in your entire tech savvy college has a charger compatible with your fancy ass gaming laptop and now you have to commute all the way back and come back in time to do the presentation.

Looking back at myself, I thought the refresh button made computer faster by cleaning up ram.

It's just fucking repaints the desktop.

It just took me 5 freakin hours to get the god damn upgrade done ... just to see that I've to do it again because I didn't use the latest back up ........... fml

For a long time I could not understand how do people put up with watching ads in Android apps. Then it dawned upon me: they grew up like this and they never had a proper classic old-school desktop experience. Back in the day it was unimaginable to have intrusive ads. I will never put up with intrusive ads. I despise it

Now even developer tools have ads, like Docker or NPM

Was working on Windows 10 laptop with SSD.
Put to sleep mode n went for lunch.
Came back, switched on, blue screen.
Restarted, can not boot.
Opened back panel, removed ssd, connected to other machine with cable, did not detect. Shit, my 1tb SSD is gone.
Took out old rusty 128gb SSD, reformatted it.
Downloaded windows 10 bootloader on USB n reinstalled windows.
From my backed up choco script, reinstalled all apps.
Back to work.

I switch back and forth between js(Vue) and Java and get them mixed up a alot which slows me down because I have to look up conventions. Any tips on managing multiple Lang's mentally

one of my previous employers would just box up your stuff, if you were fired or transferred. Once, a teammate came back from lunch to find her stuff boxed up and thought she was fired, when she'd actually been promoted to another team for a job she'd applied to months before

being middleware... had to split up back end work in two parts which wasn't necessary but for 1 day it is split up and at the end 3 days delayed because of split up... controlling temper was the biggest challenge of that part.

Trying to figure out why your code won't work after you fixed it, only to find that the offshore team completely fucked everything back up again 😵

UPDATE ON E REPO: it's back up? I don't know what happened but I couldnt find it 2 days ago and now is back. So yea. It's archived but I have a form of it if anyone wants to check it out.

Open up an alpaca farm in Argentina with my beloved one, live self-sustained and never look back.

Monitoring goes does in one of our server racks, one I had just been working in (other side of the building). Hmm, odd. Oh wait its back online again. Better go take a quick peek to see whats up, just in case. Walks over to rack. Everything seems fine. Walks back to desk. About 15sec later. Fqdn.plsfckof is offline again. -_-

6 months exactly into my development career. Finally starting to understand the product and feel like I’m finally getting the hang of stuff. Then a DB task comes up and I feel like I’m back at square one.

Was passing values from back end into template .nothing appeared so I though I screwed up somewhere in the code ,turns out it was the css.

Was working on a game with some friends a while ago and had a HDD fail before I could back it up and lost 48 hours of progress so spent all night hammering it back to how it was before the data loss...

Never stressed so much in my life tbh

Woke up in the middle of the night, got an idea , write an idea into notebook , went back to sleep.

Any advice to how to get back my motivation? I love coding, but now I can't keep up my motivation long enough :(

My Fuxking iPhone just keeps scrolling up. I have no idea why and it did not drop. It’s literally a week old. Among all the shit I have refused to give a shit about, this now number one. In a way it controls my social media usage. Scrolling down Instagram and suddenly it bounces back up like “bitch get off this damn app”. I oblige. My ability to simply not give a fuck always surprises me. Lmao I can’t even scroll down my emails without two fingers, one literally holding the screen so it doesn’t bounce back up. Apps that auto load are the worst and I should probably be more concerned. I can barely use iMessage coz it keeps scrolling up to previous messages and coz of how iMessage was built, it’ll simply keep scrolling up to load old messages.

Eclipse deleting my entire project, roughly few thousand LOC and a lot of assets. (Probably my silly mistake, though I don't know what I did)

Good thing I had a half a week old back up

I needed to switch back to my laptop's keyboard (I usually have it hooked up to an external setup) but I'm instantly reminded why I don't like it...

The Up and (eph) button don't work.... can't get code or any decent typing done....

fucking web hosts blocking all SMTP ports outgoing, forcing me to use PHP mail from their shitty blacklisted IP's.

Since I can't use a web api to send the mail Iended up setting up my home server to forward port 53 back out to the mail server, alot of hassle to get mail working :(
