So many wifes out there are having this problem right now I guess.

!Rant

So the interns tried to 3d print a rubberduck and it got stuck mid way.

Guess i have a coding duck now
I call her "Detached HEAD state"

So I recently was donated a bunch of old iPhones to fix up and resell. When I turned on one of the iPhone 5s'es, I was greeted with this:

Okey-dokey... I guess I'll just sit here and wait...

So YouTube is busy soft launching it's new look and guess what?... It has a dark theme!

It's so good, to have a CEO who is an engineer and has coded in the past.

As you might guess, this leads to rational requests and expectations.

Évolution.. so basically I have tried to grow a beard but it was too annoying and too scratchy so I dropped.. like all those side projects I guess...

So CIA has backdoor access to almost all OS out there.

I guess switching to Temple OS is the only option if wants to be totally safe. The creator is literally crazy and dedicated about his OS.

So guess what my little sister got me for my birthday! She actually made an effort to make this cute gift. Maybe in the future I will buy the original one and then I'll have two :3

I can now die without regret, I came back to a project after leaving it for three months

I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MY CODE!

I think I reached the point of writing clean code?
Let's hope so :)

Well.. JavaScript has said so I guess..

So today someone on my instagram feed posted a story of himself "deleting his facebook", "enough is enough"... Guess someone should tell him who owns ig 📷😂

My employer gave everyone the day off, so now I have to do Xmas crap instead of coding.

Thanks, I guess. :/

Co-worker loves macos' features/interface but for him, an operating system being open source is a very important thing.

So important that he ditched his mac for a Linux machine. (regular Ubuntu)

Today we recommended him Elementary OS.

Guess who's completely in love!

😁

SO GUESS WHAT

IF YOUR SHITTY WIFI CRAPS OUT DURING A VISUAL STUDIO UPDATE, VISUAL STUDIO FUCKING COMMITS SUICIDE

MICROSOFT CAN SUCK A BIG, VEINY COCK. IM SO DONE WITH THEIR SENSITIVE, CONVOLUTED, SLOW IDE.

Trying to concentrate. Co-worker from another room standing there, BLA BLA BLA, and she's fucking LOUD. But she hates coldness, and it's below 0 °C outside.

So I open two windows, and guess who instantly leaves! Now it's cold, but SILENT. HAR HAR!

So I had to chroot into my system (I fucked up). Plugged in my backup arch live USB and then suddenly... What the actual fuck? I guess somebody borrowed my drive and used it for barbaric purposes

Its 2 am, i just got done, i cant cook to save my life.

Guess what.

Its 49.

So... Facebook just stated that they plan on loosening up the End-to-end encryption in WhatsApp to analyze the messages and show user-specific advertisements.

Time to uninstall WhatsApp I guess!

This could be an exponential rant generator.

Guess my colleague who leaves his PC without lockscreen will have SO MUCH FUCKISH FUN . . .

So I got terminal Linux in school right now. People said that it's so hard, but guess what? Surprisingly it's even easier for me than Windows CMD!

Just looking at code, my colleague ("Senior Java Developer"), wrote...

if (process == "null") {...}

As you can guess, process is a String.

I just don't know what I can tell him. It's just so wrong, in every possible way...

"So, what do you do in life?"

Me : I work on enterprise level mobile, web and server applications. Basically programming and database stuff...

"Sweet! So you can fix my PC right? It's getting slow I don't know why..."

Me : mmm well, ugh... yea kinda, I guess... sure. I could take a look 😑

So apparently Congress knows what I'm up to.

"Uh, ma'am. You can't be 20 people at once. I'll send your message."

I guess spoofing doesn't work.

So, I guess, it's Halloween

No idea what he's doing with it though, guess I'll find out later.

So I guess no movies tonight

Germany plans to reduce their VAT from 19 to 16 % from July to December....

I'd guess a lot of old legacy projects will be fucked.

Anyone else remember the fun when you had a project where the VAT was hardcoded....everywhere.... And needed to be migrated?

I had two or three of those... God I'm so happy that I don't work for these companies anymore.

And I guess.... A lot of schadenfreude ... Cause I remember the pain, especially database wise.

Whenever you meet someone who tells you he also knows programming

Me: 'So you said you are in programming, too?'
X: 'Yeah, I know how to program websites..'
Me: '..so I guess PHP and stuff?'
X:'No, I program in HTML and some CCS'

So my school network is blocking Google Drive, but not OneDrive... Okay, I guess?

So I guess when you go to the doctor's, he's trying to debug you?

So I've been using Antergos Linux as a way to ease myself into Arch.

Gnome apparently has moved to Wayland so I thought "Oh I don't need the Xorg window server anymore, let's just delete the Pacman package for that..."

Oh. Oh crap.

That was a mistake.
...Gnome is gone.

.... Guess I got my excuse to install vanilla Arch.

A company on my LinkedIn is looking for a Jedi programmer to hire again... I guess their first Jedi didn't fair so well.

So our government is going to summon individuals who have invested in Bitcoin, suspecting they might be hiding 'Black Money' under the name of Bitcoin...

Guess the government

Two weeks ago, I chose my modules for my Master in Data Science. This morning, I received an e-mail to tell me it was a bug, I was not accepted.
.
So what's now
.
I guess I will kill myself

So you're gonna underpay me when you know damn well I'm the best dev you've had in at least the last year? Guess who's gonna learn DVORAK on a QWERTY

Welp. Slightly changed career path and I'm busy as hell now so I've been away for a little.

Hi again, I guess! Did I miss anything?

so we started looking our code to fix few bugs....and guess what?
yeah you right, our entire day wasted to understand what we wrote and why?
-_-
#neverTurnToOldCode

The past few weeks were not so good to me, but guess what, I got hired today. And now, i'm thankful that i got rejected from the previous ones. Wish me luck on my career as a junior dev. :)

I had my first interview

My answer was 90% "I'll learn it"

I wasn't even know what should I learn and now I know, so I get something through interview I guess

Dear company, stop installing shit on my work laptop! I guess you love these antivirus and tracking software but I can't do my job with so much slowness.

Friday, 3pm, job interview.
Friday, 8pm, mail from the company owner:
'we liked your profile very much, so we'll make you an offer on Monday'.

No signs of life since then. I guess you didn't like my profile THAT much... 😅

Was told I need to code so it will be ie8 compatible. I guess there going to want me to get out my feather and ink and saddle up the horse to deliver info as well.

So this startup guy was supposed to call me today between 12-2pm on Skype... well he didn't, nor did he send an email... So I guess he forgot... Again...

I'm taking this as a sign he's having 2nd thoughts or that there's going to be way too much work.

Either way, feels to me I should just pass?

So I guess all the cool kids have to post it at least once... Here's mine.

Started working at 3:30am today.
That either means I am dedicated or stupid. Maybe both.
For sure, my boss doesn't appreciate it, so I guess that makes me stupid then :)

So these motherfuckers... they have stored the queries to generate the reports... fucking guess where. Just guess.

They stored the queries AS FUCKING STRING DATA IN THE TABLE. And you know how they get the parameters? A FUCKING JOIN WHERE THEY HAVE STORED THE PARAMS AS DATA IN ANOTHER TABLE.

So you query set the params to query to get the query to get that is joined with a query to get the reports.

If God is a programmer after all y’all are fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

SO is down, guess it's time to call it a day 😂

This week has been hell, nothing i attempted worked out, so i guess ill just go and write some depression code :/

Got my first merge conflict today 🎉 (haven't worked much with git)

So yay.. I guess 🤔

Once upon a time
Performance Review, "great job", "like all your achievements so far".. signed.

Two days later, same manager, "as you can guess, you didn't pass probation. Could have done more."
"Oh more like?"
"Just, you know, more."

Today while looking at the logs, I found an issue.

The attached image describes this issue without going into too much detail about it, so like ... Enjoy I guess 🤷‍♂️ FML

We as a 15ppl company are contractors for various big agencies, but we're most of the time under NDA. So I guess I'm a "Ghost-Front End Developer".

so i got mad but this cheered me up. i guess you learn something new every day.

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

So, driving, my car on fire, under the dashboard of the passenger side a lot of smoke. No panic, I'm 1337 h4x0r so I did what a decade of experience thought me: I've putted it off and on again. Guess what; fire gone.

Note: Hope car doesn't die on me, I just invested 2k into it

So we started using React with Polaris and Supabase and Vite and guess which one doesnt have very good documentation, all of then. Kill me like a command window task

!Rant
So uhm.. I guess he counts as a rubber duck...

I spend multiple hours on devrant a day, so I guess it's probably worth two bucks a month to me. So here goes.

Guess how my day was?

On the other hand, devRant has now gotten me so used to ranting, I can give tirades now.

So I guess I just jump to 64gb then from 16

when you don't have anything to rant about because you're fresh out if university and don't have a job so you don't feel like a full fledged dev. 😞😭 time to study for those interviews I guess.

So devrant is going down for scheduled db maintenance... Guess they want to make a backup so they don't pull a "GitLab"

Im still not convinced i know how to code so i guess im still learning?

Time I made a friend... oh due to code?
Well yea let’s solve the first part of this first 😢

Actually I met my significant other putting my self through tafe (you aussies will know) nearly 10 years ago so I guess that counts 😎

Not really a bug so much as ridiculously poor practice, about 15 years ago I was working for a car park company on their booking engine. In the sql server dB, there was a table called CreditCard, easy to guess what was in there!

Got my stickers. High quality and looks so good that I don't even want to put it on my laptop. I guess I will try to sell it on the black market.

I think it will be very odd to ask a girl to wait so that I can read the code on her skirt, with no wrong intentions.

I guess she won't understand how attractive source codes are.

!rant

Was on the public bus on the way to work... was snoozing on a seat next to a window when a droplet from the air-con vent dropped in my mouth... instantly woke up.

Guess I found my not-so-reliable alt caffine source.

Solid cube of command blocks. Any guesses what it does?

Hint: hasbro.

(There aren't many context clues in the image, so you'll probably need to blindly guess)

So my MacBook pro (retina 2013) is almost 5 years old. I like os x so was shopping for a new one, 3 grand for very marginal performance boost and a touchable bar.... Hmm. I guess my current can survive until apple makes a laptop with some balls.

Learning cryptography, Dont fucking know why , guess my boss said so

Well I haven't seen any of devs killing people .. so none I guess. 🤷

So I guess I'm blocked here with you now. Hello world.

So I guess my debug pet is the most powerful of all. I meant Totoro on right.

// The pig was just there to remind me of few stuffs.

So, I unlocked some archivement, I guess. 😁

Me: Startup initialization tests fail so the system won't boot properly it until we fix those issues.

Manager: comment out the lines of code that are causing problems.

🤔 So we are just going to feed power to some hardware and see what happens I guess

So my boss got a call from a company, trying to sell a piece of software supposed to monitor your ink levels and send you an email, if they are running low, so that IT has a chance to send new before the old one runs out.
They wanted something like 20$/month/printer, so guess what I'm developing now...

I got an interview on monday but i completely forgot i even applied. They said its java AND c#, so i can guarantee a 50% score i guess.

Can someone explain what the fuck is a namespace while we r at it?

Wow so WindScribe VPN apparently now has DNS ad blocking sort of like PiHole.

So no more annoying popups and video ads... Or messages from the sites saying I'm using an ad blocker!

And the kicker is I bought a life time subscription for $40 a few years ago.

Guess they were able to grow nice and big.

I start Tuesday, so I guess we'll find out.

So I guess one of our clients suddenly switched to a different website service... Without being told. I went to their website and it's so not what I worked on. I still have pending tasks for it, but I guess not anymore.

I think it's the same case with another client from before.

I just found out that my company gives a lesser raise to higher paid employees so that eventually, everyone is paid around the same.

Guess I won't be staying here much longer.

Found out new senior used to work at one of the same places I used to work but a while before my time. So I guess that's what happened to his hair

Been playing Skyrim a lot lately. "research" I guess. So any abbreviations and the like I think of TES or Skyrim related lore. I saw a post on devrant earlier that mentioned DB. My first thought was Dark Brotherhood. So this meme was born:

After seeing so many rants about firefox quantum, I decided to give it a try. And now I am stuck at this screen for more than an hour. Is it windows or firefox? Guess, I'll have to look for the full installer.

!dev && !rant

@dfox and @trogus my so was like, wait... Is this like a thing to complain? That's awesome!
Wait let me guess it's for developers only, right? Why can't we normal people have this? :O

Dear API vendor,

Please get off your arse and learn about REST, OpenAPI, JSON Schema, XSD and basic documentation so that I don't have to guess how to use your shitty, inconsistent, RPC over HTTP service.

With Love,

Platypus

“Begin your onboarding and assimilation program.” Are new employees joining a company or the Borg? I guess it’s ok so long as the next line doesn’t say “Resistance is futile.”

So I got a call earlier today that a letter from the US arrived for me. I can only guess what's in it.

So I was just installing ram on the new Mobo and MUTHERFUCKING FUCK!!! Guess it's back to 4gb fffffuuckk

I guess UPS didn't like the Google speed test results so they got rid of all CSS

i guess my greatest achievement yet on SO

* question title censored for anonymity *

So I showed a prototype of a new feature to my colleague and guess what !! He took the entire idea and implemented it. 😡

Yeah, I play Super Tux Kart so I guess you could say that I'm a pretty hardcore gamer.

You had one job FedEx! ONE JOB!

Guess I'll be waiting a little longer for my new graphics card..... 😒 Wouldn't be so bad if I had another one to use while I waited.

FML!

the only thing that held me in my current job was my boss. verry supportive and helpful type. best boss so far.
but now he just quit 😑

guess who looks for a job ...

I liked everything about the Pixel, so I went to the Google Store to pre-order it only to see the price :( I'll just stick to my LG G2 until it breaks I guess.

Rust is so modern, Google has future posts about it ;)

Back to the future, I guess..🚀

! Rant
I recently learned about rubber duck debugging hence wanted to buy one.
So went on to Amazon.in to find some.
And surprise surprise guess whom did I find in my instagram feed?
Marketing has turned into stalking these days eh?

!rant
Today I realized, I can play the best game on earth on my smartphone using dosbox. So I guess this will be my last post on devRant...

These are called crocodile tears, so I guess this one must have been really sad 😢

So I guess I really need some sleep. I'm rushing to finish a project for work and literally wrote the same documentation twice. I realised after I tried to save it and it said "Pagename already exists". Its almost fucking identical. I'm so stupid.

So many issues...I guess it’s better than no issues 😳

I'm so done with indeed and jobstreet. I couldn't find an office job that I passionately love. Most are looking for PHP devs, ASP.NET devs, Java devs or effing fresh graduates with 5 years of experience. I guess it's time for me to learn freelancing.

!rant

University assignment asks to create some encryption harder to break than Caesar Cypher. So I decided to go online and look for some tips on making a somewhat decent algorithm.

Universal answer: don't do it

😶

Well then, night off I guess 😎

They fucking created a VM from the wrong machine even though I specifically told them the IP of the correct one over a month ago....

So I guess first day back from vacation, I'm doing a lot of yelling at people that aren't in...

In the Netherlands most trains have a wifi network called WiFi in the train, it's rather slow so I always use my hotspot

Guess who decided to name their hotspot 'Internet Cable in the train' 😛

Well I guess pursuing that musician dream doesn't sound so bad. AI can't take playing guitar away from me 😀

Set up my little raspberry pi and installed postgres. Now when it boots I can ping it for about half a minute then it crashes. So I'll install it locally I guess...

The craziest thing happened today
I havemy environment studies test today so spent the last night studying so now even after 3 cups of coffee everything feels like third person. So in the metro i am browsing dev rant and so zoned that i miss my stop by three stops!!
Guess climate change is indeed affecting ourselves

Well shit got a smart warning when I turned my laptop on so I guess it's time to get stuff off my drive

I guess someday Facebook will know so much about you. Even a new user login page will automatically have your birthday after you enter basic details. 😂

So I was reading Julia lang's documentation and got mildly triggered due to this, but then they are not web designing project so I guess it's okay

So, I guess this is some good news...

I'm currently on annual leave, speaking to few colleagues and one of them mentioned that the Snr. dev mentioned in my previous posts has handed in his notice.

We also have a new line manager, so hopefully I'll actually be able to sort out technical debt, implement the changes I want to implement without being blocked off or PRs closed without notice.

So I guess this is a win, also means a new Snr. dev position has opened up so you bet I'm gunning for it when I get back.

python devs are not devs

why do you need numpy and 30 other packages to change some lights on a keyboard

and then the kicker is that it doesn't even work, because it can't find a daemon I guess

this is so fragile
so ridiculous
every time, these math people

Why are there barely any material design based static site libraries using js and CSS -,-

Don't use node or anything so guess I'll be building my own 😁🔫

So i got myself a TeamTreeHouse subscription last month to learn python. But I guess I'll have to discontinue.

My laptop can't take it anymore. I'll have to wait until I buy a new one 😅

I have to choose between paying for sister's education loan or my laptop. Guess who is in not getting a laptop 🙂

I hate Eclipse.

I have the Student membership for a year but I can't use IntelliJ for my project because I HAVE to use Eclipse.

I'm around 80% - 90% done with my project, so I guess I won't have to deal with it much longer.

I've not had any good dev/CS teachers and learned all by myself.
So I guess I am the chosen one.

So I guess, I'm a technical recruiter, part of the screening process, now, for Java applicants. Yay or Nay? I'm not sure if I should be happy or not, because I hate Java and Oracle

Software project in technical college:
Expectation: Ok guys, we have about one month to finish our project. We have a lot of stuff to do, so let's start right away.
Reality: So we have one more day until the project needs be submitted. Hmmm... I guess we're going to start by tomorrow.

Going to a student study center. (Not sure how to explain, but it's basically huge library without books?)
Huge quiet space with tons of people studying just makes me want to focus on my own things.

So, group mentality I guess

so they are really out there...

people who beleive C# is just the one source of truth and all other languages are just garbage

🤡

sad to be so ignorant - though i guess ignorance is bliss

to be clear: I use C# like anyone else, but it's just a tool in the toolkit, that's all

Guess who got a huge interest in Python this morning. I feel excited to start learning it and do some awesome shit! I need a small break from front end development so I'll try to make some simulators or something with python.. Dunno..

Sometimes I feel people are too damn slow.
Usually I have to outpace every particular person in the sidewalk.
Some of my dev friends have the same problem too, so I guess it should have something to do with being a dev.

Welp, the internet is still up, so I guess I’ll work.

So ... All my favorite shops are either closed or closing down soon...

Thank you online shops I guess

anyone excited about .NET 8?
Release notes uptill RC2 didnt give me a boner, so I guess it'll be 'ok'

PC just crashed midgame amd started to bootloop afterwards... i guess my 1070 is not so stable :/ not even getting video signal anymore..

Well, i solved a pretty hard problem I had today with Firebase and a pretty tricky data model, so I guess I am pretty excited to have solved that problem right now!

I was devving in the train and was using my hotspot so I could stackoverflow for a bit

Then I noticed my application had start rebuilding, guess where my MBs went 😅

I got an interview for a software internship in SF! So happy right now! Extremely nervous about the interview, guess I have to study up on some algos :)

So I installed manjaro over ubuntu lately.. because Ubuntu w/ gnome is fucking retarted and manjaro is a fucken bliss.

Guess what.. I'm using arch btw.

I am a learn it all, do what you can kind of guy. I work alone so Fullstack I guess, hate UI though, god saves boostrap.

I don't have a Computer Science (CS) degree, but I do know a lot of Computer Shit. Major Computer Shit. So yeah, I guess I major in CS after all.

So, today this robot really didn't want to move how I want it to move. 😒

Tomorrow, again, I guess.

Smh.

*sobs in robot voice*

Alright. So bye bye to sticky notes. I finally started using Wunderlist app.

No more handwriting I guess :-/

So, I just caught Adblock Plus blocking all ++ buttons on devRant...

Jealous of not having its own second plus, I guess.

So if I had my guess windows 11 will fuck up drivers that worked fine in 10 like every successive major release has done

So here’s a good question
What the hell do they change every time that causes this ?

So a data issue I've been yelling about for months but getting ignored by my team.

Now business wants a different report with the same data... Now they're scrambling to figure out why...

Me: guess they'll fix my problem now....

Hey, uh, fuck reviving legacy projects. Intern here looking at the shit I have to do and pretty much everything's deprecated by now so yeah fuck that I guess.

Guess you guys don't care about goals like "losing weight" and that stuff. So my code-related goal is MASTER VUE.JS ONCE AND FOR ALL. Seriously, I need to start using it in production or I will keep wasting my time.

There's an angular project at work.

I guess they know about as much about angular as I do (not much)

Because the error page isn't working, so when you get an error, you infinite loop and DDoS yourself.

It actually crashes my (admittedly subpart) desktop.

Guess I'll be learning how to fix that.

"I don't write code to feel bad, I write bad code but I feel good!"

when you are so used to Unreal Engine crashing while trying to debug your code that you're actually suprised when it doesn't x'D

ya I'm pretty sure I'm not debugging it in the most efficient way, but oh well. Progress I guess.

Fall Creators Update did some changes to Bash on Windows, first they renamed it to WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux) and now you can have multiple distros on it.

They also added it to Windows Server.

I have no idea why people would use Windows Server, but I guess that if you are forced to use it, you can now use Linux utilities on it, so woot? I guess.

Ok, so I was googling for chapter summaries for a book, and guess what shows up...

First job starts in June, so I guess my first rant is that I don't have much to rant about (yet). Time to lurk .-.

P.S: Google why 4 notifications for new device sign-ins :[

So Vivo made a bezeless phone this time
But guess what its again gonna contain a fucking kazillion Megapixel Selfie camera with Mars Light Flash to make you look Unique paired with a shit mediatek Processor.
Also,
They have got stones from krypton and their next phone is gonna have krypton light flash just so the fuckin superman can't use that just because they partnered with marvel to get infinity stones so that they can use them in their later phones as a light for the selfie flash.
Guess what? Thanos preodered it ..
Well Played Vivo

Started doing deep learning.
Me: I guess the training will take 3 days to get about 60% accuracy
Electricity: I dont think so! *Power cut every day lately
My dataset: I dont think so! *Running training only achieve 30% of learning accuracy and 19% of validation accuracy

Project submission: next week
😑😑😑

I'm in hospital now and pretty much can't walk to toilet so nurses gave me this thing that you can relieve yourself in. Guess how they call it. A DUCK. ARE YOU SERIOUS? I'M NOT GOING TO TALK TO THAT THING.

So I really like Linux, but I also have to use windows and can't do a dual boot because of space issues. Guess I'm stuck with bash for windows...

!rant
Python is a language I love to use. But after using a typed language I just so wanted that feature in Python. And guess what, there's already a project that does that - mypy! Static typing for Python. Just wow!

grrrrrr developers that think their math is superior because they think it is superior. im so sick of devs who cannot second guess themselves until proved otherwise. you might be wrong you know.....

my issues with self learning .

Me : hmm so i want to make X. how can I make X?
*searches Internet. finds 15 min video title "Building X tutorial" *
tutorial guy : "Hey guys today we are going to make X. let's start. so here is this code a.b.c(d) . This will make X for you. Ok Bye "

Me: *tries his code* Hmm cool, it works. I got X . So let's guess what his code does ..
hmm so i think 'a' does this_thing. let me check. oh yeah my guess was right.
so let's go with 'b' .. hmm ok this does this_another_thing i guess . oh yeah it works.
...
"Yes i know how to make X, yay!"

----------------------------------------------
But this approach of finding the correct code and then guessing what it does does not always help me . i make presumptions based on a limited number of tests and they might not cover all the functions of a particular code.

thus there are chances that what *i* think a particular code does is completely different from what the code is supposed to do, under different circumstances. I constantly need someone to validate my assumptions and definitions.

So any other approach to learning that you devs could suggest?

So something sparked the thought at work today, so I checked to see if my name was available as a domain. Turns out both .com and .co.za were avalible. So cheap I couldn't resist

Guess my portfolio has a prettier name now

This shitty indian development companies should fucking go to hell. So there is a client who approaches me so that I can add new integrations to their web store/platform but the guys who development it wouldn't let me access the backend in any way!!!
Guess I am so mad that I can't even rant well.
But fuck you cheap indian development companies!!!!!!

So I just woke up and started my PC, just to see this, guess Chrome didn't have it's coffee yet...

So, I have an interview for a VB.Net gig. They are willing to pay to get me up to speed (last few jobs were C# and current is C). So I guess the question is: Should the remittance be good enough, would making the switch be worth it?

The start of a new chapter of career life...

Until now, I always saw myself as the base raiser... but raising the base is not what everyone else on my team wants...

Only took me 3 years to realize... so I guess time to just fall in line...

I guess it's why some smart people act dumb on the job... It's just easier to blend in...

Guys! Have you ever been so roasted with your family conversation that you are really pissed off but there's no way out. The matter of dignity you know. But guess what... The topic going on is Python! Don't need a way out🙄😛

So. The internet just cut out at my desk at work. Seems my ISP is down for the entire country. Guess no webdev today.

I was so happy when Facebook introduced standalone Messenger web app so I wouldn't get so easy distracted from work by Facebook. Well guess what, I'm getting a new addiction in exchange: reading devRant

So c++ isn't really ideal for robotics? I could just not understand c++ correctly. I think it's just my terrible understanding of why a compiler is needed. I am an intermediate Python Dev, so I guess I'd like to download the "language" and go, ya know?

It's a tradition, I guess (and these travelled here from the other side of the globe so it's something special ;) )

guess who is working on a 10+ GB hg repository using sourcetree on a macbook air

Well... I guess I started learning how to program so many years back when I thought I could fix my girlfriend's mood swings with code. Guess what: we are married now and I'm still learning how to program!

How the fuck does a community write an open source library/package that works wonders, but fail to write a proper documentation.

So many times I have to look into the core of frameworks, libraries and packages so form my own documentation in my head.

I guess I should be contributing too.

We are all to blame.

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

I’ve left a bad job a month or so ago.

Now I have less long story rants about the constant bullshit.

You win some you lose some I guess

I have to deploy our software onto multiple raspberry pi so I started cloning an SD card with DD....devRant time I guess

I can't really figure out how I grew from learning_syntax -> remembering_function_names -> following_patterns -> developing_a_personal_style -> reading_the_doc -> getting_the_source.

Well I have a long memory problem, so I guess it happened overnight!

Wait, did the doctor say it was a memory problem? Hell no!

Shit just failed 5 exams in the same time i guess ill be toxic af today so if snyone sees more of my offensive shitposts feel free to ignkre thx u

I've got so much overdue winter break work that I have to skip celebrating New Year to do math and finish my biology sketches.
Argh.
Hope you guys have a better 2018. Happy New Year, I guess?

I fixed one problem we had at work with SSL over a year ago. Since then, whenever anyone has any problem vaguely to do with SSL, they come to me. The "expert". So I guess I'd like to become what I'm already perceived as... SSLman
