After 4 months of remote working I can honestly say the biggest downside is that weed is really really expensive, even if you grow it.13

To have waited so long to really start doing what I've always loved...
Now I'm 29 and back to internship :P4 -
"The password must have 7 or 8 characters (numbers and/or letters)”

-
Create a new, fast, strictly typed programming language with organized project structure, normal package manager, dynamic syntax extensions (that means you can change the syntax of the language if you like!) and (most importantly) if statements which are written like this:
(bananas == 0) -> print 'No bananas!';3 -
Started a large own project more than a month ago and still not abandoned it. Just realized that this is my biggest achievement.3
-
Biggest coding distraction - vape breaks. Not too long ago it was totally acceptable to vape inside the office. :-/

I feel as though when I design something it looks like shit... I guess when they say you’re your biggest critic it’s true.

Mike Bloomberg using memes to try and advertise on Instagram is the biggest "ok boomer" moment I have ever witnessed.7 -
What's with all these master/slave terminology rants?
Clearly the world's biggest problem is the default of white text (foreground) on black background in most terminals.6 -
A programmers biggest nightmare. Going to sleep and losing the workflow and ideas.
I have to go to sleep. Noooo.....2 -
Just found out that Oracle Linux is a thing. That has to be the biggest contradiction I've heard of so far... Luckily I'm still relatively young.5

So I've been on one of the biggest scouting camps of Europe this weekend reading Devrant a lot... Why is this app so addicting.2
-
As a kid, I wanted to try new stuff. New programs, new games, new websites, new OSs. Those were the days when we had very limited and slow access to internet and cloud was still to be discovered. I had everything on my local HDD.
So one fine day I decided to try out Ubuntu on my Windows 7 Laptop.
I emptied a partition, burnt the image to a USB drive and booted from it. Installation went well.
Somehow I ended up deleting the logical partitions on my Windows machine. Not only I was not able to boot into Windows, my HDD was just one tiny partition. I cried my eyes out. That disk had everything I ever had.
PS: I recovered everything by restoring the partitions.5 -
My Biggest dev. fear.
Hire a freelancer/partner to share your work load and he might start developing whole project parallaly himself4 -

Can't do anything, even the windows are powered... So hot right now.4 -
Switched from Python 2 to Python3 a while ago. The biggest challenge for me is still remembering to use print as a function.2

My biggest coding motivator is "this thing I'm using is crappy let's replace it" and that's why I have so many unfinished projects.17

Biggest sin? Easy. Pushed directly to master branch and deployed to prod. I should mention it was something very small before I get crucified😂
-
Biggest distraction for me after noise, is someone challenging me for a chess game, i can't say no to that!!
-
Mobile phone.
With our without internet it is still one of the biggest distractions I have. I keep checking it even though there is nothing.2 -
You're working on a project, your boss has set you tasks to complete. You complete all the tasks and make pull requests of all the work you've done. Your boss is busy and you don't know what to do next? What do you do? Is it unethical to work on personal projects in work hours, because you're not being paid for that? How do you find other stuff to do?10
-
Q: Your biggest dev career dream?
A: To finish my thesis, get a job, where I can peacefully code. And to earn enough money (does not mean rich) to just live a comfortable live without worrying about money too much.
Am I asking for too much?

Tomorrow is the first day in my new company. Working as a developer. It's the 3th and biggest company I'm working in since finishing university and it feels so good. Especially because this job now is in one of the biggest cities of our state.1
-
Wanting to write some useful open source Java for my github portfolio. Biggest issue is that somebody has already done it for anything that comes to mind :(3

The biggest lie I regularly encounter is Window's "About x minutes remaining".
I'm sure it's just linked to a random number generator.1 -
My biggest and favorite distraction...
My queen, my servant... My girlfriend
Have so much support from her. Without her, i would be a mess -
Currently in an overcrowded hard rock cafe, waiting the 1h17 hours left until the beginning of the world cup. My biggest fuck up so far.1
-
I was not sleeping, I was thinking about the solution to our biggest problem.
What would your excuse be if you are caught sleeping at work?

Time to spend the night debugging and overeating. -
!rant: I am pretty fresh to this game so I couldn't say what my biggest hurdle has been because there hasn't really been one yet. So, in an attempt to beat the curve and perhaps learn something...

What is your biggest embarrassing regret in your career?
I will go first. I regret than those day I don't understand OOP and Bull-shiting around. -
Biggest hurdle right? That would be finding it hard to wrap my head around functional programming...it's just not getting in.. I need help pls.2
-
I think motivation and constant improvement are the biggest challenges, but I guess these are applicable to life in general. On a dev prespective one of the biggest challenges was the jump from college work to job work. The professional environment brings some responsibilities that in college you just don't have. Good side, in most cases, when you get home you don't have to think about it.
-
I am starting to think the biggest problem with my current project isn't the business unit changing their minds all the time. It looks like the biggest problem is me continuously refactoring the code.
-
Biggest influence was the Java coding style, where constants are ALL_CAPS and everything else is camelCase
-
!rant
I'm not the biggest web developer, but has anybody used Laravel and what do you think of it?12 -
Right know, the biggest challenges when taking a new task are not learning the tool or framework or language, no...
The biggest challenge is how to integrate it with the burocratic and undoccumented in-house software and tools of my company.
Is it the same for you?? Should I start my job hunting already??1 -
Biggest distraction is a cool idea popping in my head, or someone telling me they have a problem that would be easy for me to solve.
I have to resist the urge to jump right in and build a solution.
In that sense, I am my own biggest programming distraction.1 -
The problem of AGI is that we’re trying to create computer that will outsmart people instead of creating computer that would outsmart biggest idiot on the planet.3

Installing ubuntu on a 2005 custom built computer to be used as a personal server is by far the biggest bodge I've done in a while

The biggest mistake we all make right now is we get comfortable with the least level of effort during a time which has been made pointless
-
The biggest distraction is every other bloody department in the organisation, other than development.
-
My biggest dev ambition?
Actually finishing software which could be used in production.
And no, Dont even try to call unfinished work the MVP version... -
Biggest deceit in Java developer's life : this value can never be null, leave that extra null check.1
