My last school used my SSN as the default account password.
Just to test, I used the “forgot password” functionality, and they sent me my SSN over clear text.

As a developer, I see that as 2 mortal sins 😡

Me 5 years ago : "Guys we are gonna have a perf..."

CEO : "Not now, we need to deliver that functionality asap"

Me 3 years ago : "Guys, performances/scalibiluity will hit us like a trucK'

CEO : "Not nowem a new functionality needs to be done ASAP"

Me 1 year ago : "We are gonna be hit by a tank. We won't even understand what happens"

CEO : "I'm sure we can manage"

2 Days ago : Plateform quasiment down, response time in MIONUTES instead of milliseconds, database on fire.

CEO : "WHAT THE FUCK !!! GO FIXC I ASAP WE CANNOT HAVE THAT SHIT HAPPEN".

This is a brief summaru of working in a startup.

Useless notification..

Working on a Job Portal Application, i made notification functionality.

At least i caught this one before production

Seriously, god bless Laravel and Taylor Otwell.

I've just had a customer foolishly delete all their user accounts. The customer was seriously stressed about this and as it usually goes, this stress was echoed in the call.

I explained how they can easily restore the deleted records in a single click as I have configured Laravel's "soft delete" functionality site wide. i.e. when they delete a record it isn't really deleted. Functionality to physically delete the record is hidden away outside the client's user level.

Customer was seriously grateful and paid for 2 hours of my time (even though the call took 15 mins) and generally gave me lots of kudos.

Laravel, awesome.

Literally how one of our developers documented functionality for our program in OneNote

Working on a data structure project for a university's course.
Made a dictionary and was testing it's search functionality. 😢

I love writing and using my own apps!

Was just using 2 of them but found a new annoyance...

No problem! Open the source code, add the functionality, publish and install 😆

10 minutes after... All good and better 😁

What I would define as a critical bug:
- System doesn't respond
- Functionality is broken
- Client data is all wrong

What QA defines as a critical bug:
- Typo on this page in the QA environment

How to take being a programmer
"Haha Windows is bad"
"Php more like phpepsi"
"When you were 12 I was coding in basic"
"I'm not like other programmers"
"Stack overflow comes to me for help"
"I don't use an ide because word 2007 has all the functionality I need"

Drivers across Operating Systems.

Windows: What the fuck is any of this? Here's something minimally functional.

Mac: That's not made by Apple, fuck off.

Linux: Here you go, have fun if you're missing functionality!

We have a Miro collaborative whiteboard where product managers map functionality and user flows.

It currently has 89442 post-its & arrows.

Marketing once asked if we can add functionality to the site that would disable the back and close button on a browser...yeah

Writing all the major functionality of our app in a 10000 line class ( I shit you not) and then call it Utils.java.

When you are in Facebook and double tap a post but it doesn't like it...

Was developing WordPress plugin. On the last step, i need to check if the remove DB table functionality when user uninstall the plugin is work. uninstalling plugin, check phpMyAdmin, and yes the table is gone. Also the plugin, which i dont have any backup. I need to drink....

Client : This functionality doesn't seem to be working.

Me : What browser are you using?

Client : Internet Explorer. Do you know of a quick fix?

Me : Use a different browser...

Client be like: I need a simple app. Should take only one week.
App: I need a Facebook clone will all functionality. :)
Estimated budget: 20$

I just finish "rebuilding" a page that I have built last year. My Js file (jQuery) went from 1200+ lines to 600..

I rewrite everything, the functionality is the same but the code is mush more cleaner.
Soo bad and redundant code.

Although comments where very helpful.

Feels good.

From this point forward I will start calling my bugs "alternative functionality"

On Windows: Use Tools and scripts to stop/uninstall/deactivate functionality so that the OS becomes useful for me.

On Debian: Use Tools and scripts to start/install/activate functionality so that the OS becomes useful for me.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤭

When a minor bug inspires clients to add a new functionality :|

Instead of 'video calling' icon to make video calls, I mistakenly displayed calendar icon in the App and now clients want me to add schedule video call feature :|

PO: we want this new functionality, a new api call is needed in checkout process

Devs: okay, and what should happen in case of error?

PO: dont worry, it wont fail. Never.

🙃

When a programmer is in love,
He doesn't care about the UI, but cares about the algorithm and functionality.

In real life, he care about what is inside, not the physical appearance. :)

Unfortunately it's same old same old.

Deadline approaching, changes keep coming in.

Deadline gets extended due to influx of change requests. Director says "ah the deadline is put back, that means we can add in even more functionality"

Anyone got a cyanide pill handy?

I guess some one saw the future at 1923
But didn't took the mute functionality into consideration🧐

Hardware of laptops today.
Displays: Glossy screens everywhere. "Hurr durr it has better colors". Idgaf what colors it has, when the only thing I can see is the wall behind me and my own reflection. Make it matte or get it out.
Touchpads: Bring back mechanical buttons. Haptic feedback dying with touchscreens/surfaces is a tragedy. "But we can have bigger touchpad area without buttons" ...why? the goal shouldn't be 1:1 touchpad vs. display ratio. It ain't a bloody tablet.
Docking stations: Some bright fucker figured out that they can utilize USB C. That thing keeps falling out with slightest laptop movement disconnecting all peripherals (guess why microUSB had those small hooks?). Also it doesn't have sufficient throughput, so the 5 years old dock can feed 3 full HD monitors just fine and the new one can't.
Keyboards: Personally I hate chiclet. And it's everywhere, because "apple has it so we must too". But the thing I hate even more is retardation of the arrow keys (up and down merged into size of one key), missing dedicated Home/End/PgDwn/PgUp buttons and somebody deciding the F keys are not needed and started replacing them with some multimedia bullshit.

My overall feeling is that this happens when you give the market to designers and customer demand. You end up with eye candy and useless fancy gadgets, with lowered ergonomy and worse features than previous generations of the same hardware. My laptop dying is my daily nightmare as I have no idea with what on the current market I would replace it.

I took my old project and I was like "Why don't fix it and open source it?". So from 2785 lines of code in main class, I've cut it to 1662 lines of code while keeping same functionality plus some more...

Introducing a new javascript functionality:
Relation operators
These help you determine if object is related to other object and in which way (parent, child)

Another night of progress :) Finished the category page functionality on my cms project for now. Gotta keep at it!

My coworker can't be bothered with learning git branching, so he comments out significant functionality during testing and then comments it back in before go-live. What could possibly go wrong?

Spent an evening coding 100 line of JS front end functionality that I achieved in 5mins with 2 CSS selectors.
Bullshit.

When you're asked to extend a functionality on a piece of code and the 2.5k lines in the view are a juicy mix of PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the functionality relying on jQuery trasversing through the document tree and expecting things to be in their place. Oh did I mention html build with strings in JS? I'm going to love this day! WHY, JUST WHY?! *gasp*

Next task list of an Adobe developer:

1. Fuck something up so that the user has to google for the simplest possible functionality.

Idea was to make a little helper utility to be used once (only for myself, not client). But, I've kept adding layers of functionality over layers of functionality ... Long story short - this monstrosity (UI is bad, code not that much) was used for 10+ years (again, only by myself).

Finally, personal embarrassment was too big, so I took wooden stake and monster passed away. All related files deleted (but not before one final screenshot).

1)Get Project/idea
2)Look for the most suitable tech
3)Draw out all the functionality
4)Break into milestones
5)git init
6) git commit
7) Start
8) Test
9) Complete
10) Feel like a King

when you write a patch that makes you die inside...but the client loves the functionality......

Testing functionality of the form

Client: The image upload functionality is broken!!
Me: just tested it, works fine.
Client: no I'm trying to upload this image and it says It cannot complete the request.
Me: hmmm...
Client: does the fact that the image is 36MB has something to do with it?
Me:

One thing that will eat up your whole day is someone else's uncommented code and you are supposed to enhance its functionality.

WOOOO!!!!! I BUILT MY FIRST FULLY FUNCTIONAL REACT NATIVE APP! Including the release apk that needs to be signed. Took an entire day and more like an advanced HelloWorld.

But the core functionality works... Though not pretty...

Do you ever have those weeks where you have to fix a bug, then uncover another bug then another then another. Then you realise some functionality is completely missing. You write tests to cover your bug fixes and new functionality. Then you realise tests are broken with your fixes and you have no idea why. Then you get so frustrated you start making silly mistakes. Then your debugger starts playing up.... Yeah that's been my week.

When you look at a layout and consider the hour it will take to refactor and clean stuff out to remove built functionality.

Nah fuck it - display: none !important;

When the client decides not to do a feature because he finds your estimate unreasonable, then tries to add the missing functionality as a "bug" to another feature that's already estimated.

Just delivered an important fix for a key piece of functionality.

!Rant

Fuckkkkkkkk youuuuuuuu CLIENT :/

Client asked why two weeks for refactoring.?? When you already know the functionality and he gave us two days.

After two days we successfully​ renamed everything!!! 😣

my boss gives me a 15 page list of changes to a web app yesterday. this afternoon he tells me forget all the silly things I'm doing, which just happen to be core functionality, and work towards getting it live.

wtf do you think I am doing... -.-

Why on earth do you want export to excel functionality.

Fml.

"You don't have to implement all that functionality, just X" - proceeds to describe how X entirely depends on *all that functionality*

Me: "Would you mind going through the intended functionality of this design on mobile?"
Client: "Sure. We were hoping that the content would expand to the largest box when you hover over it"
Me: "Hover?"
Client: "Yes"
Me: "On mobile"
Client: "Yes? Fingers can hover right?"
Me: "No"

When project is finished, everything is according specs, and on final review the client says: "everything looks nice! But I would like to change just a few small details. I would like a different design and functionality".

Seriously?!

enough is enough
to all the fucker ass morons deploying mini js frameworks with ambiguous names and undocumented functionality all fucking minified and using at least 20-30 of them on each page
dafuq you need a different slider for every section ?

When your release keeps getting pushed back to get other customer facing releases out the door, but your project is vital to every product's functionality and your just sitting there like...

So it seems Google got intimidated by WhatsApp's payment feature.

Guess what Google did, they integrated chat functionality to their payment app. 😂

I guess yet another chat app from Google

Me: Which option would you like?
Option 1: £x.xx
Option 2: £x.xx

Client: Can we have all the functionality of option 2 but at option 1 price!

Fucking lazy customer support that files bugs with "<some functionality> is not working" with no steps to reproduce or any other description of the issue, deserve to die in the same hell as it is figuring out the rest of the details.

What is the point of a CMS if you are gonna do every page custom with no common functionality or styling? FML

Director: hey, we need this new functionality that I saw somewhere else... Easy right? Just copy & paste!!!

Copy & paste... It works every time... Right? No!

Worst project would have to be a code igniter website that reinvented most of the wheel and used very little of the built in functionality of the framework.

My Boss, another employee and me were having discussion on a functionality on the website "How we will do it". After talking to us, my boss called his former employee and asked him the same question "How we will do this functionality".

After talking with the former employee, he comes back and tells us the same that we told him on "How we going to do it". Which pissed me off and I am angry on him, why the fuck does he has to call the former employee about this.

What do you guys think, should I be angry?

New rule for coworkers: Stupid questions get stupid answers.

"What does this deactivate button do?" It deactivates the object. //They wrote the functionality.

"What does x do?" RTFM. Did you check the file with common questions and answers? No? Do that.

Sigh

fucking hate how some sites deliberately break their own scroll functionality if you haven't logged in/accepted gdpr nonsense/signed up for a newsletter.

It's such an easy fix (most of them just slap style="overflow:hidden;" to their <html> tag) but I still think it's very loathsome

I know I'm only an intern. But what in the actual sideways fuck. Are clients really this stupid?! They want to push the app into the app stores a week earlier AND add MORE functionality? FUUUUUCK ME.

!rant

wk101 responses are the best ones so far in my opinion keep them coming. It would be nice if we could filter (recent, top, etc.) on search results.

A lesson I learned. Clients can't separate design from functionality. They will piss and main about a feature not working right when what they really mean is the aesthetic is not to their liking.

Ticket: We were able to get the site launch, but we lost some functionality on x. Can you fix ASAP?

Not a single url, didn't even know they were going to launch, or where. There must be an achievement for this. 🤡

Account Manager Brief Template

"We haven't confirmed any of the desired functionality, but we (the AM and the Client) have decided that it must be built in [INSERT CMS/FRAMEWORK/TECH OF THE WEEK HERE]."

Manager : (During 2 weeks before final release) So the client asked if we could have this xyz functionality which we never have done before.
Me: But we already have so many issues to fix and only a week to do that
Manager: that's true.. So Complete them in 3 days ?

When a PR merged to improve functionality breaks the functionality 🥳 and now I have to fix the FIX to fix it.

The shortcut to search solution explorer in Visual Studio is probably a choise made by PM after exceeding the project budget for the functionality.

Which bastard thought that 'Spotifiy remote' is a good idea?

You never know what you control:
- your phone with your phone
- your laptop with your phone
- your laptop with your laptop

- your heart with your heartbeat

The guy invented that should get hit with a stick recursively until he cries 'Music should be played on the device that you can control'

Noticed a rant on here about transactions not redirecting the user back to the previously visited page, on certain sites. Just implemented the functionality to my shitty little project and I currently feel better than the big players.

So you remember the old, not so good days, when your app worked in all the browsers besides stupid Internet Explorer?

So I through those days were long gone, and today ticket that functionality doesn't work in Edge.

Good part of the story? Ticket number is 666.

For those of you iOS Swift developers, how long did it take to learn and have a decent app with database functionality, coming from a different programming language background?

when u break some functionality on prod as you and QA both missed a test case

That awkward moment when you convert JS functionality into pure HTML CSS just to find out it's not working on IE.

Why can't managers understand that functionality changes and UX changes should be two separate epics? There's a huge fucking difference between composing an UI from existing components vs. having to figure out new components while at the same time paying attention to 12234234 new scenarios while at the same time duplicating existing components because existing portion of the app has to keep old UX.

And then they say bullshit like "we need solutions, not problems". Fuck you. Solution is to keep existing UX and focus on functionality, and do complex UX changes when functionality is well-defined and STABLE. But no, you fuckers won't listen even when the fucking lead dev tells you to.

I'm lazy as 🦆 duck

e.g
If I want to implement a new functionality I'll just look for a library for it, rather writing it from scratch

Ok, let's actually try and work on my games Dev kit workspace functionality and not get side tracked with devRant... Oh fuck I'm on it right now... Well shit!

I think I browse through devRant at an unhealthy amount lol

We have started working on a new web based editor software. It already has 132 unit test after 3 months but can‘t do shit. In has no functionality, yet.^^

When you are told to copy some functionality of the global code for a module youre building, and in code review, the senior dev team gives you 42 errors to fix on their own global module

Being a team leader some times sucks have to take responsibility for everyone's elses functionality that doesn't work or wasn't tested in production. Leads often ends up working overtime fixing everyone elses work :(

JavaScripts idea of OOP is nothing like anything else and misses halve the functionality.

The wonderful feeling when i need to implement new functionality but it only takes a few minutes bc I actually created a framework that I can reuse instead of writing duct tape code from scratch 😎😊😆😙

As a dev, I think nothing have made me better prepared or equipped for explaining technical issues and functionality to PMs and board members than having kids and explaining things on their level.

My favourite part of every support email chain about a piece of "missing functionality":
"Theoretically since <other software> allows you to <some stupid functionality>, then <your software> should do it too"

An Apple Watch on a girl's wrist.
A smartwatch is a computerized wristwatch with functionality that goes beyond timekeeping. While early models can perform basic tasks, such as calculations, translations, and game-playing, 2010s smartwatches are effectively wearable computers.

Why is it that when I ask you if functionality is needed you tell me it isn't. So why was it in the requirements doc? 🤔

Can I have the past 2 hours of my life back in which I attempted to work out the solution please.

Fml.

Management wants me to continue building an internal-use dashboard.
and you've guessed it, all functionality to be added will be discussed on-the-fly (so specs keep changing all the time...)...
So now I'm on a strike for this project until I get clear specs

Don't test complex functionality before production.. neither unit, nor system tests involved for my android app. Releaseing solely based on hope!

Bash

Has pretty much everything you may need, except for a TCP/UDP server functionality.

I mean, if it has a built-in TCP client -- why not create simplistic TCP server?
WHY???

I have a meeting today with our UX designer to explain why we can't provide a Photoshop resizing functionality to a block level element inside a content editable div. That will be hard.

PM wrote a really high-level requirement doc and asked me about estimates.

Me: Well, functionality-wise it will take 4-5 days provided the design is ready.

PM: Our designers are really full on schedule; Just do it! Expand your creativity. I believe in your taste of UX

Me: Listen, the implemented design will take much more time to change if we go back and forth. It's better to revise on the designer's screen.

PM: Oh don't be so modest! I trust you already. Just focus on the functionality, get it done first. For the design we'll talk about it later. Move fast and break things!

Me: ..Sigh. This is gonna end up badly.

I spent an hour to debug spaghetti trying to find out why this damn functionality doesn't work. Then I was told that close button actually saves your progress. I was always using close tab button in browser to close that page. Great UX GG

I hate that clients think the most important thing for a demo is UI. Working Application > Nice looking application with no functionality

Last year, my company has added the functionality for users to reset their passwords.

The company was then 5y old and already had to reset thousands of passwords. Oh well...

Refactored my current portfolio grid :) Decided to remove margins for a cleaner look and removed slideshow functionality because things became too slow and it really doesn't need it.

There are few developer who name their functions all wrong, but the functionality is fine. Then there comes those who name their functions right but the functionality is nothing close to what it says. There is this function I debugged. It's name is optimizeQuery. It does not optimize the query at all. Rather dismantles it. Also it made it's way to the production. 😅 Now I have to correct and optimize the optimizeQuery.

IBM Notes. Ultimate example of developers each working on their own bits of functionality with zero thought to how the whole thing fits together. Just need to look at the preferences page see what a mess it is.

It's ironing that being developer I have to explain client that bug he has reported is actually functionality. How can someone forget what they ask for??

Me: *asks for sample data for all tables to test database transactions*

Team member: *gives over 45000 records only for city*

🤔 😐

Why the hell does enterprise software get away with not having basic, logical, functionality?!

A hierarchical page structure should allow you to name multiple pages the same as long as they're under different parents.

Every FREE documentation platform understands this, yet atlassian fucking confluence can't figure it out.

Thanks, I'll pass.

In case it can't be read: "This site requires Javascript in order to view all its content. Please enable Javascript in order to access all the functionality of this web site. Here are the instructions how to enable JavaScript in your web browser."

After finnishing all functionality defined in koncept our boss said that we should write some unit tests.

I guess we should start with tests earlier 😅😷

Today i had to revisit my code to change some functionality for an application i made 3 years back.

I wish i could go back in time, refactor the code and write Unit tests.

Client approved a design 2 months ago. I follow the design and build functionality based on the design and on budget.

What does client do... Doesn't want the site built says it doesn't follow their paper catalog. What paper catalog? I never got a paper catalog from design to follow. Three additional weeks later rebuilt the core of the site's functionality. And the final cost is 2.5 times over budget. Screw you Unnamed attorney search engine.

Lead developer about Project X:

“Focus on responsiveness. That will probably take you the rest of the week”

The next day:

Built website with Skype video call functionality, install Skype in server and do call. Don't ask user to install Skype. 😠

I don’t understand how Microsoft can continue to ship functionality in modern versions of SharePoint that only work on IE11 (open in Explorer, open in InfoPath, Skype presence integration). The only reason my company has to make web apps compatible with that browser is because of the hot garbage that is IE11. Just kill the functionality and kill the browser. Please.

Yes I know *why* they only work in IE11, it’s because activex is a massive security hole, but just kill the functionality if you can’t recreate it in modern browsers.

I needed to update this function to add some more functionality​. And this is what i did.( I did added more functionality though)
Will I be fired?

Estimated 12 hrs for a landing page that looks more like a home page design. Coded it and flipped it into WordPress in 6 hours, full functionality. Client says design still isn't approved because of text changes...that were already applied in development 😑

Nothing I fucking hate more than working without any sort of specification then being asked to change something multiple times because no one has any defined functionality.

Alright, fellow coders. If I am required to spend 6-8 hours documenting your steaming pile of shit, MAKE SURE IT FUCKING COMPILES SO I CAN CHECK THE FUNCTIONALITY AND GET SCREENSHOTS! IT IS ALMOST NOON! I DONT WANT TO STAY LATE! Bitches.

Never use random non-reversible git features on your 3-month project's master while just assuming and not actually knowing their functionality.
Or to avoid that altogether: Don't drink and git.

A friend of mine removed a paywall deleting the DOM element that covered the page and all functionality from the site was intact.

working on google maps fixing functionality and here manager came and said: what have you done in 3 hours? why extra space between columns fix this padding stop whatever you doing, padding is important. -_-

Completed a project in summer for a client based on Laravel and kept working on other projects based on same framework. Today went back to add some functionality ended up feeling miserable looking at my own code. Don't know how to feel about this.

Arduino project going off the budget and teacher asking for more functionality because "it can be made within 30 mins". We are working for 3 days and only things we are getting to know is new components that we need to add. That too in summer holidays... Fml

When you focus on adding functionality and the UI is barely usable.

10mins before a demo and here I am adding fixing and adding some functionality.

Super selfish and targeted question:
Favourite singular VSCode extension?
Not the ones everyone has / are very common, something you have that most might not, be it because it's functionality is not very useful, because it's not very known, etc...

Today I had to restart a VM that should contain only an apache server, after a period of time some clients complained that there a functionality in the system is not working. I checked the code and I found that this functionality is depends on local server in deferent port, so I back to VM log and found there was a node server was working on this port.
Every thing was fine till now, I check folders but there is no FUCKIN js files for node server.
After hours of searching I found 5 files in the public/assets/dist/js path that named with the same functionality name and a number 1 to 4 and the 5th one is a TEST.js. After checking all files I discovered that the server file is the TEST.js !!!!! seriously WTF ...

Last year, one of our government organizations' websites' edit page was editable without login credentials... People can easily modify or even delete a company. They had a login functionality for employees and was pretty much useless.

Focus on functionality first then appearances later

DevRant should add functionality to force touch

Friend of mine wants to use his old blu ray player as a surround sound amp. Okay, sure it's supposed to have that functionality.

Struggle, struggle, struggle. Then I see on the back, a powered by Java sticker. Guess it's one of those 3 billion devices

I HATE it when client does not know what he wants. Removed a functionality only to be added back again with all the ripples going through the code¡¡¡¡¡

ARGH¡¡¡¡¡¡ FUCK ME

Where's my exclamation mark u shitty SwiftKey keyboard¿¿¿¿

Another unrelenting "Please remove me from this email thread" reply-all's trickling in every 5 mins today due to someone accidentally cc'ing to broad distribution group at company.

WTF is email functionality a lost art or people just trolling?

UGH! Wasting time explaining to the client why you are not adding information/functionality to a page since a separate software will do it all (and better than what you would do).

"Design must be functional and functionality must be translated into visual aesthetics, without any reliance on gimmicks that have to be explained." - Ferdinand A. Porsche

Literally whatever colleagues/people in the field prefer.

Otherwise, it's functionality followed by minimalism and followed by understandability.

When marketing gets overly excited about analytics requirements and you have more code in a page for stats than actual functionality

Watching a video on YouTube that shows: Refactoring and Extract Method features in xcode 9 beta brings a tear to my eye, never thought we will get that basic functionality 😢

If you have enough of your own Spotify-playlists just try out their radio functionality.

It makes you actually appreciate playlists with less than 20 tracks for their diversity...

Angular 2 is really, really satisfying me. Such a very clean and smart way to organize web functionality! And es2015 + typescript is sooo nice to work with.

Ordered to implement Old functionality in New system, not allowed to fix it, refactor or change the underlaying mess.
Wrap old system in a wcf, hardcoded some values, done.
3 weeks estimated so I feel ahead and got more time to look for a New job.

Trying out Bootstrap for my new Admin Panel - So far so good, very beautiful.

I'm using Elementary OS for few days now, and I can only say that I love it, it's really good looking compared to other Linux I tried before (Debian KDE, Ubuntu Unity, OpenSUSE XFCE) but there's not enough programmers functionality natively integrated

Not adding functionality to have pictures spin with the phone when you tip it horizontally.🤔

What's your git style? Commit many times as a sort of change tracker/backup regardless of feature completeness or functionality, or only when something is complete and passes tests?

What is the functionality that you have always wanted to have in a blog???

Need suggestions.

It was faster than reinventing the wheel and I needed that functionality :>

Ok so today marks one week of harrassing our client to deploy.
Finally she calls in today after agreeing to deploying tonight, and says "oh no! We tested it today, it's not ready, and we'll need this functionality on the backend tomorrow, thanks!"
So, because we don't really have a choice, we must dev a new functionality + API + interface for tomorrow.morning (it's 9PM right now)

Today a functional analyst said to me : The display need to be always the same, zoom or not. I think she don’t know how a web page work.

If you don’t know how a web page work, read on the subject before starting to argue with a web dev.

Is it okay, to wrap posix-commands in your program for stuff like remove, mkdir and copy, if the language doesn't provide this functionality to accomplish these, without having to implement them yourself and handle half a million edge-cases.

I want to implement a functionality, I use framework X with cms Y.

40% of the libraries I find are outdated, 20% just don't work, 20% offer partial functionality but don't do what I want them to do and the rest just seem excruciatingly hard to implement

I'll try to put something together myself, not sure how it will work out

Last night my office desktop received the Redstone update. I hate the new ALT+TAB functionality so much, it's borderline infuriating.

So you're working on a product that basically the main thing it does is fire off http requests and parse their responses into a nice model. We've made some nice helper class that allows you to do this easily, but a simple piece of functionality is not in there yet.

You agree to add this one simple function and decide to:

- Not conform to coding standards set by the team
- Document its behavior which does NOT match the implementation
- Not write a single fucking unit test to prove it's functionality

ARE
...
YOU
...
FUCKING
...
MAD?!

After having witnessed developers use IntelliJ's built-in git functionality, I am persuaded that it should have never existed in the first place.

Asking you if you want to git add after every file you create, providing dangerous shortcuts that do pull, merge and push at once, but most importantly providing just enough comfort to keep their users ignorant about interactive git add or rebase, and other advanced git functionality.

The search for all the UI buttons + IntelliJ's baseline 5G RAM consumption is both slower and more error-prone than using the Git CLI

As an emerging Android developer, I must say I HATE SQLITE AND CONTENT PROVIDERS!! So much code for such little functionality! Pro Android devs, does the process get any less tedious down the road with more experience?

SO . . . my laptop just decided to no longer be a computer. And while I love boxes that have stickers on them and offer nothing else in terms of functionality, I should probably be able to code. And watch cat videos on YouTube. So . . . anyone ever bought a refurbished computer on Groupon?

What use is a MacBook?
Cause all it is is an overpriced laptop, that has the basic functionality and features that a regular and cheaper laptop has.
My friend and I concluded that all it's used for is to say you HAD $1000.

When learning to develop mobile applications, should I learn android and iPhone separately, or just use xamarin instead?
Can xamarin replace it all, or do you loose some functionality/performance etc when using it over android studio and Xcode?

Let’s start the week great with a scrum master complaining about a functionality that isn’t working, and a coworker that’s pointing in my direction.

Go point your finger elsewhere (***)

8am in the morning, after coding the whole night and finally getting that functionality done, I feel very inspired to fall into bed and not do shit the whole next day. Because productivity starts at night again...

Why am I so stupid and want to implement drag and drop functionality in my react web app? x_x

Imagine what will happen to Devrant if there is a live stream functionality for ranting.... I mean just imagine....😂😂😂 How many times of the word f*** will be in one live stream...

That moment when you are not able to find the functionality you intend to use in any of the libraries.... And then you decide to write your own. #devPower

I've been thinking:
If YouTube video download/conversion services are getting taken down one by one, do you think VLC will get forced to an update with an altered conversion functionality?

Why don't any of cloud storage providers have sync functionality on Mobile phones????

When you’re frustrated and think you need another developers help, exhaust all of your resources before you ask. Google it, look for similar functionality in the app to mimic, ruminate for a hour. We are all working through challenges.

Most of the stuff I know comes from debugging other people's code. When working on someone else's project, I try to understand what their code is doing and think how I could make it better and if it's possible to extend the functionality to make it do other things as well.

Dan Abramov

He more or less invented React? Or at least he's made a lot of improvements to its state management functionality. He offers to have lunch with random people on Twitter. He probably knows a lot and reads a lot. He seems like a cool down-to-earth dude.

Changing instances to arrays. So we've all had this issue:

Option 1 was the most flexible and abstract option where a lot of functionality could be built on this.

Option 2 was the fastest solution, that would solve only specific problems.

The whole Agile philosophy points to option 2. The problem is that clients will always want to add that functionality in option 1, and changing requirements makes us lose time, the precious resource that managers supposedly cherish, yet they always want us to choose the fast option.

We're at that point where the client wants to add functionalities, but since we already built with the previous requirements in mind. Ugh.

Changing instances to arrays.

When you spend ages making a really nice for loop for handling multiple classes similar functionality, only to have it all messed up by one overloaded method

Need to add a feature to an academic C/C++ QT project. I literally couldn't find a line of comment in the whole project, except for multiple // TODO: make this better.

Made a fast prototype of the new functionality with Python: 1 library, <100 LoC, about 30 minutes. Success!

Trying to get the same functionality to run in plain C/C++: after two hours the third library I tried finally compiles (and works cross-platform). ~250LoC and three hours later I have similar functionality as in the Python code. Can't wait to get this running in the QT application. See you on Monday...

FFS,
Team have a release candidate of code ready for a deployment but because a dev added functionality them deem should only be released in two weeks we have to cherry pick this chunk of code out,

yes other code now depends on this and is affecting lots,

FML wanker customer/QA team,
be happy that you are getting functionality early.

Having to give time estimates for custom projects involving functionality unlike anything you've done before - FUCK OFF. How is that possible?!

Coding gameserver emulators. It's always fun to code for a game which you don't have to do any of the artistic side and all of the functionality side.

Also network packet sniffing and trying to figure out what each this is is pretty fun. Love it.

When you break functionality while doing fixes for keyboard accessibility :/

this has probably been mentioned before but how about edit functionality on posts?

So we’re in a completely bugge stage of the repo and ofcourse the client goes: we want this and that functionality live today. And i can’t say no so now i have to figure out if this is a smart thing to do. I guess its not

that moment when you can’t figure out to make a certain functionality work, and after a bit of research you find out that you’ve been doing this all wrong so you delete all of the code and start all over again.

Please add a `git log --grep=<pattern>` functionality to *devrant* ! Please. (Thanks in advance!)

Why does all GPU functionality need a while new language? Libraries are a thing ya know?

I hate coding in the browser. On every coded functionality or testrun pressing strg+s results in saving website prompt...

Junior dev here

Implementing client side search functionality using Highland.js with its streams and lazy evaluation.

Hopefully I haven't bitten off more than one can chew. Higher order streams have been known to confuse me.

On a related note, Googling "forked streams" yields interesting results.

We have to deliver a new functionality in 2 weeks and the client hasn't share with as the specs of the flow and the business details yet.
So until today we had developed the half functionality believing that our system will communicate with Web services with a third - not the actual one.
We figured it almost by luck, when randomly, a colleague from the third system made a funny comment.....

Development Process:
PM writes out functionality required and works with designer for drawing up designs.
Hands off to Dev.
Dev reads through all docs and sends the PM all the strings, he's just written down in the documentation, that he needs to request for internationalisation.

Darn you to Heck, Oracle! I installed their JDeveloper environment, to see how it's database functionality compared to DBArtisan and PL SQL Developer. It is Eclipse based, and it rendered DBArtisan non-functional. Uninstalled, and balance has been restored to the Universe.

Oh SAP, you nail in my coffin...3 days to set up a simple mailing functionality :s I hate you...

When functionality becomes aesthetic, it's time to sunset.

Functionality is an asset, code is a liability.

Has anyone tried Flutter? The kind of UI you can develop with it looks cool and functionality like the ability to hot reload makes it tempting.
I had it set up since a couple of months but never got the time to learn more about it.

Do you know of innovative ways to
1) control a float with a keyboard
2) monitor a large number of variables and control others?
I want to emulate the functionality of a cockpit with all the various displays, knobs and switches, but with a keyboard and mouse.

Had to add some functionality to another guys GUI code.
He gave me a "template" file (copy of another module), pointed at several places and said: "Make your changes here, here, and here. Do not ask why, do not even think about it. Just do it."

Generics look kinda cool. But it doesn't takes long before it becomes a giant mess. And then a manager asks for some new functionality and you end up changing every class that inherits from it. I hate and love it at the same time. A confusing relationship.

Does anyone know any android browser or app to have similar functionality of network tab in chrome?
P.S. For Non Rooted Phone

That moment when you need to add a functionality to your program (coded months ago), and go "Why does my head work this way...", after seeing the complex code that needs to be sorted & fit with the new function.

Note to self: when you extend a functionality by rewriting a relevant part, remember to mark the old code as deprecated or delete it.

AKA "why the hell I´m not seeing anything in logs/db that reflects my changes" T_T

Working on a WordPress site for a client after not touching WordPress in a long time. At least they are minor functionality additions, and thank God for plugins...

2 o clock (night) and i need to hand in a deliverable tomorrow, all small extras are implemented only the main feature not. I was so focused on perfecting everything i forgot functionality. At least it looks fantastic

I'm thinking about buying a small nas device to store backup and media files. WD my cloud and synology ds120 caught my attention regarding price and functionality. Does anyone have experience with them? Any recommendations?
