Yoda speaks like he wasn't careful with his async calls

"a Jedi You are"

Finally a solution tonthe long stand up calls

The more time I spend here, the more I feel like xkcd#386

"Jabba the Script" that's how my girlfriend calls JavaScript.

The moment when a client dumps you for a "cheaper solution" and after a year his site get hacked and calls you to rescue him. Priceless.

My view. Where I only have WiFi (barely) and can't receive calls. Unplugging again, but thought I'd share

Calls himself web guru... all he does is WordPress

When your girlfriend calls you a nerd for getting excited after earning free laptop stickers

Daily calls.

Hey, how are you? Ok. You know what? My printer doesn't work.

That's what my manager calls innovative

Maybe it does some sort of calculation to let us know who is going to call next by accessing calls? #facepalm

Translation: My Samsung picture app wants to be allowed to make and receive phone calls...

WHY IN THE FLYING FUCK DOES MY STOCK GALERY APP NEED TO MAKE PHONE CALLS????

Happiest moment of the week.
*Missed call from dad*
*Calls back*
Dad: I was gonna ask you about something, but I found it on duckduckgo.

Prank calls then:
"Is your refrigerator running?"
"Yes? Why?"
"Well... you better go catch it! Hehehe-" *click*

Prank calls now:
"Is your server running?"
"Yes? Why?"
"Well... you better update your privacy policy! Hehehe-" *click*

Had to delete and repost because the original screenshot showed something personal.

Original caption: How dare Tumblr calls me a nerd! It might be true... But still!

You call it C sharp. My professor calls it C hashtag. I call it C pound sign.

Fuck this guy who calls himself a fullstack developer after doing a HelloWorld with Node.js and a bit of flex box.
No. Really. Stop with this bullshit.

My daughter who is a nerd herself and doesn't know it yet calls devrant "your nerd app"

Fuck those useless calls!

PM: customer X wants a call in an hour.
Me: they didn't send emails before. No questions, no prep, no call.
PM: yeah but they want to talk.
Me: these unprepared calls are pointless. I'll be sitting there, noting down the questions and telling them I'll have to look up the details.
PM: shall I tell them that you don't want to talk to them?
Me: I don't care, it's your call, do whatever you want.
PM: that's not professional.
Me: oh you're calling it professional to sit there with a pencil, writing down crap or what?
PM: what's the problem?!
Me: I've had this shit for the last two fucking calls, and they were so unprepared that they wasted half of the call just reading up, and I'm fed up with this shit!
PM: but they are the customers, and they aren't that happy.
Me: yeah, and do you know why? Because our schedule is completely fucked up and our management has been ignoring ANY warning from engineering for WEEKS! That's why they are unhappy and not because I'm not holding their fucking hands!
PM: hey, but you can't tell me what I have to do!
Me: and you can't tell me either! [he's my PM, but technically not my superior.]
PM: so no call or what?
Me: you're free to have your call. I'll sort out the shit that they're concerned about, putting that down in a proper email, and then we have at least some basis for discussion!
PM: (left for his call)

Btw., my cursing was the same in the live conversation with him.

At python Brazil, just watched Sam Agnew live code an api to receive phone calls and control a Pokémon emulator

He just stopped coming to work and ignored their calls

this blog calls JSON "Jason"

Caller: My client looking for experienced developer in Technology X,Y and Z are you open for new position?
Me: But I don't know this X and Y, I only use Z!
Caller: Please add them to your CV and send it to me so I can pass it to the client...
Me: But I don't know it!
Caller: Neither me nor the client know it also, please update the CV...
Me: How many years of experience should I add then?
Caller: 3 years will be OK!
Me: §¢“°©™|-=]%

First day on the phone as a support guy!
Before the first call came in I thought like 'please no email related issues as that's the one thing I suck at!'

Fair enough, first call:
Me: hello, how can I help you?
Customer: well, we've got this email problem...
Me thinking: MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING FUCK WHY ME 😭
Me: what seems to be the problem?

Damn, really?!

Builds various WordPress websites and calls themselves a Web Developer........ Just no.

brother in law spills Sprite allover his laptop and it dies, guess who he calls.

Yesterday i updated my LinkedIn title to Data scientist.
Today morning i got 3 phone calls for job offers.

So there's this annoying colleague who loves to call me (My work phone) at 3 am, so I decided to adjust some settings to forward the calls to the CEO.

aha!! , in the meeting CEO point it out, and yes, finally company set a rule that no work calls after working hours....

When the recruiter on LinkedIN calls you with a different name...

Video games, food delivery and no one calls your name ever!

When a client calls you when you are on holidays.

Boss: "Can you create a login page where every login fails?"

Me: "Sure thing!"
*Writes out php file that returns false and calls it via AJAX*

Yay weekend let's have some fun, until client calls, blah blah blah client somehow managed to fuck his CMS up

Removed a bug 2 weeks ago.
Customer calls today and wants to have it back.
The error miscalculated a sum.
🤷
When you thought you saw everything...

When a recruiter calls you about a .NET developer role and asks if you wear glasses because the client wants someone who can "see sharp". 😜

The universe has this weird magical power.

Whenever there are hardly any phone calls and someone mentions something in the trend of that it's not busy at all, we suddenly get overflooded with phone calls.

It's weird how this 'works' every goddamn motherfucking time. (Same goes for tickets)

Downsides of working from home: No team, communication is just horrible, endless calls that move nowhere

Upsides of working from home: Whiskey

Poor Dijkstra is probably crying in his grave because my professor calls him "digest-tra" 😢 feelsbadman

Api means monkey in icelandic, and this is what comes to mind when someone says that a function calls the api.

I complained during a dev team review about the too many dev calls/meetings we have that are supposed to improve our productivity but instead feel like interrupting our work and line of thoughts when focusing on something.

I expected the team lead to bash me or say "Nooo, these meetings are important bla bla bla" but he received it quite positively and already changed how we do things.

My friend calls C# 'See Hashtag'

When a recruiter calls you and asks what your experience level is with "C-hash"

Morning time.

I realize not everyone took keyboarding in high school but...

WHO TF CALLS THEM SELF A DEVELOPER AND CAN’T FUCKING TYPE?!?!

People should not eat apples on conference calls.

Turns out our backend is doing calls to frontend endpoints ... great!

My CV shows that I have experience with Java and also python scripting but I keep getting calls about Javascript positions..... Cmon HR you better than that...

I'm lost. I am so used to calls saying people broke things, I feel weird that I'm not annoyed with someone's idiocy...

Help?

Note to self: ALWAYS cache API calls.

When your colleague calls you 'bro' but plays politics and bitch biting behind your back :|

Buy a domain. Watch 100s of spam email, sms and dodgy phone calls come in.

My fiancée's grandfather calls his cellphone a "jukebox". I can't handle this.

End to end encrypted (maybe decentralized?) social network including shit like voice/video/group calls.

Privacy site I'm working on right now.

Yeah that's it for now :)

if a recruiter calls me one more time about an "exciting opportunity" 500 miles away, I'm gonna punch a baby in the face.

I don't understand why a game needs to "make and manage phone calls".

Fucking shit fuck! Absolute cunty-chops of a Work phone just went off at 3am because our directory has clearly been leaked.

This cunt right here is on 24/7 fallout so I can nae silence the bastard. It’s going inte do not disturb for the evening now but.

About 6 months to a year ago we started getting nuisance calls on the cunts. On floated numbers that seem geographically close.

Work have done fuck all in this time, because considering changing ours is a pain in the dick, and costs.

But tonight at 3am I got another; call, immediate hang up on redial.

This wee iPhone prick is looking at me like “ho! Got ya ye fucker”... it’s lucky it’s not been punted out the winde where it belongs. Little fucking prick.

If I look like shit tomorrow at the office, if any prick decides to mention I look tired, I’m gonnae tear the ballbags a new hole between their baws and their arse.

It’s now 4am, sorry fe the language, my Glaswegian heritage shines through at this time in the morning.

WHO CALLS A MEETING AT 4:30PM?!? 🤬🤬🤬

Dressing efficiently for video calls: Half shirt and tie, half pajama pants.

That feeling when your boss calls you clever not because of your programming skills, but because you fixed a trivial Excel issue for him.

Last year at work we started migrating our backend from PHP on a dedicated server to Node.js on AWS lamda functions

We went from 10 second calls to 70ms calls...

At this point our frontend is not even ready for this kind of speed 😅

I came across a line of code that calls an sms provider that sends account credentials in the url using HTTP T_T

This happened via mail thread today.

Boss: we need this new brilliant feature I just made up and running asap! Top priority, it has to be done well, for my reputation is on the line!

Me: *looks at the specifics* 'kay, looks easy enough, this evening max and it will be ready. I just nees some extra info about what kind of data validations (I speak no accountant) are needed, and some other details (a total of 3 questiona).

B: Sure! Remember, it needs to be perfect, as my reputation is at stake. Call me on the phone and I'll give you the details!

M: Can't you answer via mail? Thua way both me and the other devs will have clewr guidelines

B: Just call me! Why do you need it to be written down? It's faster this way!

...Fine. I'll keep asking until you're ready to give me a written answer to my questions. No way I'll take security details via phone for something you want in production this evening. No chance in Hell I'll take responsibility for "misunderstanding" what you said on the phone. Why does it always has to be like that?

We all know someone who's like this

writes
console.log("hello world");
calls himself a js developer.

I brushed my teeth and went to bed at 10, opened up youtube and just chilled out,
boss calls me up at 11 I'm like, nah fam tomorrow...
Calls again and again and again, calling for the 6 time on 2 numbers!?
(M8 can't u see I'm out)
Then he texts me, bro, it's urgent!
I decide to call him up.
Boss: hey dude
Me: hey (trying to not get triggered)
Me: so what's so urgent?
Boss: OK so 2 things, I will email all of our job applicants on August 28, 2: are you available tomorrow?
Me: ( LITERALLY GOT TRIGGERED AS FUCK, THOUGHT WE HAD A DICK PICTURE ON OUR SITE OR HOSTINGER DECIDED TO BILL 2 TIMES)
ME: 👏Dude, this is so urgent? R u kidding me???? Am I available tomorrow and you will email are job applicants on August 28????

Ffs I swear

Always satisfying when clients say our API doesn't work and it's shit, only to find out their firewall prevented external calls.

Today I found out when a user logs in in this piece of crap: 59 calls to the api just to get user permissions 😤

I'm done...

So I opened crunchbase newsletter like always to see what interesting is happening in IT.

Looks like app that allow people to send REST calls got investment of 50M.

The moment when you realize that simple UX and sending REST calls using desktop app can make you millions of dollars.

And I am tired again.

Like multiplication service calls addition service, and power service calls multiplication service, and expression service can call all of those, etc.

Next I need to figure out how to add AI to it

3 to 6 hours of unnecessarily Skype calls.

*Keyboard breaks*
*Calls Desktop Support*
Me: Hey, my keyboard is broken. I want to replace it.

*Support guy sends new keyboard*
*Calls support again*
Me: Hey, the shift key on the left side of the new keyboard is broken.

I don't know who came up with this keyboard design, but that person really wanted to see developers who write in camel case suffer while their muscle memory adapts.

Worst. 2 am on campus, js file for a web app project. It didn't work, no exceptions thrown, no errors. I call the assistant teacher. He calls the teacher. Teacher calls the head of department. Four of us staring at the screen for an hour, trying different browsers, environments etc
3 am, switch cases had semicolons rather than colons. Sleepy coding is the worst.

Broken app's cousin (they do similar things are share devs) is now broken again too.

On two calls at once. Yay.

THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE REPLACED

On the phone.

Them: "So we do X and Y and Z... can you try again?"
Me: "Yup. Still getting max retries error"
Them: "You know what, let me restart the server"
Me: "Whatever you did it worked. API is back online"
Them: "You're kidding me right?"

Took us 4 hours to restart a server.

Colleague calls the IT support because he forgot his Windows login after the holiday.
IT Support: "Please go to the intranet and write a ticket" - telephone call ended.

When a client calls you after hours saying their website is down, you check it and it's working... Then the client says "oh, I was spelling our own domain wrong"!!!!!

Just loooovvve working on a day when the people at the client's have a holiday. No calls, no emails, no standups...just me and IDE

In another news. COVID-19 continues to ravage certain places of the world. Most notably India (for right now)

Is there a mathematical correlation between this and the decrease of scam calls asking about your social, vehicle warranties, IRS frauds etc?

A friend mentioned that he has not gotten scam calls in a while now, I noticed this as well. I would normally have vendors contact me daily, vendors with shitty practices and poor sounding accents that insist on them having names such as "Joe" or "Steve". This sucks for India since I believe it is a country with absolutely beautiful cultural heritage and good people. But man, the decrease in scam calls from there is outstanding now.

When you find out the app your team has inherited is making direct calls to the DB from the UI....but only sometimes, the previous team decided they would use a service for some other calls. Guess who gets to figure this all out?🤦‍♀️

I work remotely and have to attend a 'scrum' call everyday which I fucking hate. It gives me anxiety as I already dont like extensive phone calls.

Fuck GoDaddy man... Paid extra for the privacy feature thinking I wouldn't get harassed by phone. Think again! Got tons of calls from India in two days. What a rip off...

I guess they're selling our info or something...

What service do you guys use? I want to move my domains, any recommendation?

- You're scrolling the wrong way

BOYS - chat on WhatsApp

Men - calls directly on phone

You know that feeling when a non-techie decision maker understands you and makes the right calls? Nah, me neither.

Email (not a ticket) comes in this morning: "You need to make X change to y thing, yesterday!!" with of course the obligatory million + 1 Cc's including unrelated directors across multiple sites.

Me as my helpful self: I expected this request, I'll get it sorted asap

Director 1: *calls*

Manager: *calls*
Me: I'm working on it

Submitter: *calls*
Me: ignore

Director 2: *calls*

As a bonus rant, after implementing the change, manager calls and criticises my technical explanation to the submitter who I know is fully capable of understanding the way it was explained 😂

Happy Thursday!

I played a terrible game tonight... I'm secondary on call when we've been getting 2+ calls regularly. I went out with friends and just hoped I didn't get a call.

Say no when the situation calls for it.

I don't like when HR calls us 'tekkies'..

$999 for a phone and you can't even ignore calls..

Yea it’s totally cool. Dropping a conference call on me 30 minutes before it happens. And then you (and everyone else in the call) should be late too. And then do this stuff all the damn time and ask me why I have to push the deadline back. But get super pissy when I give you a realistic deadline that factors these bullshit experiences in!

Then after I wait 10 minutes on the line, tell me it’s been moved to the bottom of the hour which doesn’t really leave me enough time to do anything but play on DevRant. Fucking insanity.

My coworker and I attend remote stand up.
Half the time we are just playing "who is who" 😛🙊

Soooooo had 2 phone screenings with 2 different recruiters.

So all was going well with the first call until she asks me about certain technology, and I'm a little confused as to how she was working it, so I asked, "do you mean....?". And her reply was....,"I don't know, I guess. That's what's written down here." I seriously almost hung up the phone!! 🤣🤣🤣

The second one was worst! This genius had the bright idea to call me from...wait for it....HOME! I mean all I heard was brats in the background and they kept destructing her. She's like ," so how long have u been-- Billy! Get down off that, NOW! Sorry about that." I'm thinking, "what the hell?"(only seconds into the call) She continues, "So what's your favorite lang-I told u to get off that! Hold on..." phone goes silent.... "Hello, I'm so sorry...." Asked me more programing questions few seconds later..."I thought I told you-------" phone drops! At this point I'm trying to hold my laughter in. She gets back on. "Sorry, dropped my phone. Well, I think that's all the questions I had, did you have any for me?" "Really?" I'm thinking. "Nooooope" I say.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was having somewhat of a crappy day, I needed that.

Not really a rant, more a proud of myself moment but the custom IVR software I built is now getting 20k calls a day and hasn't broken........

"The free plan allows 200 API calls per month, while the paid plan offers unlimited API calls."

wtf is this, 1990 and you're running a raspberry pi as your server? give me a fuckin break

Yesterday I deployed a change to production. One of the impacts was that the first service I created for my current company now receives 99.9% less calls and will make it deprecated during the next 2-3 months.

Was a strange feeling to watch the avg number of calls post-deployment. Somehow I even feel bad for the service now sitting there as shadow of its former self. Is that normal 😐?

Why the actual fuck would you #define function calls into value-like things?!

Found when exploring the example code for some Chinese company's display module.

Middle dev manager calls us all to the weekly meeting and she’s like

”Yeah, I haven’t got anything to discuss”

Inspiring!

I got to leave this dysfunctional place!!!

How the fuck does TypeScript still not have service worker support? Seriously, it's just a typings file. People have written that typings file. They would just have to include it in the lib collection shipped with the compiler. Yeah, it would have DOM calls intermixed with the SW api, but frankly, having the typings for a set of calls you can't use is infinitely better than missing them for a set of calls you can.
The relevant issue is 5 years old btw.

I love it when a friend calls for help... i really do. But why the fuck it's all about hacking someone's account.

Docker is a fuckin bi*ch... build success at #22. What a Friday! Tomowzz gonna be lit if I don't get any calls tonight.

I hate it that some people at work call directly to my phone when they need help. They think that this way they will get service faster.

Now I understand if it’s an emergency but 95% of the cases it’s not. I most likely am stuck in a meeting or got my hands full with other work, so I am unable to answer my phone.

For gods sake, send a ticket, email or an instant message so my coworkers will be able to see your issue or I can forward it to availabe person. Stop spamming me with phone calls when I can’t answer!

I spent 2 hours fighting with itunes connect last night to find out that one of their Ajax calls was throwing a 500. Seriously, Apple?

One of my most frequent coding errors is putting e before I in function calls because my understanding of English spelling is worse than my code 🤣

Avoid face to face meetings, have con calls
Avoid con calls, have email chains
Avoid email chains, do one on one mails
Avoid mails, text
Ignore texts

Not my hack but one I've seen hundreds of times:

Thread.sleep() because you don't know how to handle async calls

Prepared my first own Pathfinder Campaign over the last week. Three hours before it starts someone calls it off.
A week of work thrown in the garbage. Feels good.

ever been rushed to the hospital and suddenly your team lead calls you and asks if you can fix a bug? that happened to me.

Is anyone facing micromanagement due to work from home? The calls are happening every hour and feeling more like prisoned, Go corona go!!

Client calls saying there's a problem with their site that he just noticed at home....

Calls. Every 30 minutes. Why?! Do people know about cool stuff like chat?!

I updated my online profiles to reflect that I am a certified kubernetes administrator, and the calls from recruiters wont stop.

WFH is nice, esp when you can spare a separate room for work at your house/apartment. VoIP is also not a problem, it's even better is several ways than the real thing, as you can chat with multiple people at the same time without dragging them off their desks. Even better - screen sharing sessions.

However, there's one thing I don't understand.Why would anyone do video calls? I mean.. why...? What's the point? If I'm on metered network I'll be charged extra only because I'll have to stream out my ugly face to people who don't want to see it and stream in all the other ugly faces I don't want to see. My voice will become laggy, I'll miss out on some details, and all that because of some completely unnecessary overhead.

So why would you want me to enable my webcam? And why do you feel the need to show your face to everyone else? Why is this necessary...?

Anyone else get called cute nicknames working in IT?

My favourite is one of the VPs at my company calls me a warlock, because I can read code that he calls "archaic scribble"

when your elderly client wants you to teach them how to use their CMS effectively but can't even send emails and just calls you constantly....

Ever had a client that emails you and then calls you if you received the email? I think it's understandable since most of us don't send a return receipt or whatever that's called.

But have you had a client message you on WhatsApp or equivalent that shows that you have read the messages and yet calls you to confirm if you have received the messages? 🙋

It's getting annoying really fast

when you spend half a day trying to figure out why your aws api calls aren't working and it turns out you're using a deprecated package

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.

sleeping in.

I love sleep.

but I hate phone calls, though those are inevitable. prob the worst part.

Now, why would Teams calls only work on Chrome and not Firefox? Is anyone aware of any technology constraints, or is it just Microsoft being dicks?

When your boss calls for a meeting with the whole IT department because he is too worried about losing face by lecturing the guy who talked back to him.

Video social calls are the absolute worst. I have a shitty Intel 11 series chip in my laptop; which is a waste of sand. My laptop often slows to a crawl on calls, so I can't work on things, and I have to listen to them all prattle on about kids and things I don't care at all about. Sometimes we play games, which is tolerable. My company is international and 100% remote, so this will never end so long as I work for them.

Coding JavaScript... Makes an object, creates a method, Uses 'this', 'this' points to the object... Good...
Calls another method, uses 'this'... Now 'this' points to the window object...
Why... WHHYYYYY... :'(

Just people. Meetings, emails, phone calls that tear me away from work. Please, just let me work! 😭

I wonder if @billgates ever calls/emails @linuxxx to wish him a Merry Christmas...

Side effect After working several years as support engineer, I hear SMTP when someone calls Lakshmipathy

a telecom company whose 4g network's call drop is 65% of total calls. :) wonder what devOps is committing crime behind those chairs

When someone calls themselves "the webmaster".
My spidey senses are tingling, better make sure there is a recent backup.

I need internet but no phone calls during night, so plane mode is not the it.

*activating the silent mode.
*wake up one hour later at the morning.

oh..

I love Nim because it lets me use chickenbob speech to make calls inside of my code being that is is canse insensitive.

A guy using our tool that automate rest api calls requests a feature to add the request body in the logs.
He was using “get” calls with no request body as a proof of missing feature.

interviewed a guy who claims to work in MVC with Java, dude doesn't even know object relational model. calls himself a full stack developer

[phew]

Turning my phone on flight mode these days to avoid late night calls from work.

I love developing JavaScript for Node.js applications until i have to create sequence diagrams with a lot of async calls :/

My TL always calls if block as *IF LOOP*...😐

...is that someone who finds some, let's say, questionable quality code that I've written in previous roles, finds me again and calls me out on it...

Does anyone else get those calls that hang up no matter what after 5 seconds?

Frontend using async calls same way as sync to load json config which contains backend api url. To make calls to backend API and sometimes file is not loaded before they call Api. This results to calling on current domain instead on domain from json file. Moreover, blaming that be is returning incorrect response.

Meet the rubber duck I use for debugging.

He calls himself Pudge. And every time I make a mistake in my explanation, he butchers me ☺️.

Client deletes erp record with a massive amount of aggregate objects. Calls and almost has a nervous breakdown.

Thank god for soft deletes, they make awesome invoices.

There is a special place in hell reserved for the microsoft guy, who decided it would be a good idea to cache REST calls by default -_-
#why

One advantage of JWT that I never realized: session tokens are stored client side, saving network calls to validate them.

Very cool. Love it.

I have been 'called' by a very unusual number. Seems to originate from Russia
For reference, don't call them back!

Now I'm in paranoid mode due to The whole pegasus affair where a simple phone call already infects your phone

Am I paranoid android?

I would cause intense pain to any project manager that calls a useless meeting that could have been avoided if they had read the fucking status emails I send.
