'i can't, everyone is being evacuated because of the hurricane'

'....it's trying to install windows 10'

Something which I felt inspirational.. As a programmer or as a Human being, it's our duty to teach others what we know well !
(My Personal opinion)

at least it's usable for something....

"It's just money"

Our CTO, the first time I broke something on production.

These "math question" captchas are really stupid.
It's not even an image that has to be OCR-ed, it's just plaintext. Why can't these people understand a captcha is supposed to be something only a person can do? This is math. Computers are amazing at math.

Me: I'm really underpaid and you know that. You gotta do something about it.

My Manager: It's on my radar. It's complex. Things like these never move quickly.

*Few weeks later*
My Manager: Hey what's the status on that new POC?

Me: It's on my radar. It's complex. Things like these never move quickly.

*Radio silence in the room*

Newbie telling me about the new Linux commands he was learning-
"So there's sudo.. It's like !important in CSS. Whenever something doesn't work normally, use sudo.
Me: 😵

There's a fine line in stack overflow.
If you ask something too complicated, nobody will answer it.
However if it's too easy, you got downvoted immediately.🤔

sudo apt update

"All packages up to date."

For the past 14 days? Huh.
Everyone on vacation or something?

It's quiet.
It's a little.... tooo ... quiet.

Well the screen resolutions are a little messed up and I had to crop the wallpaper in an odd way. But it's something.

My PC when I use it: "..."

My PC when I look at something on my phone: *gentle fan hum*

My PC when I resume activity : "..."

My PC, 5 minutes after leaving it: **VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV**

** sits down, still big fan blowing, open up the task manager to see what's bugging the system **

** PC calms down **

I have an overly attached PC?

Me and friend1: talking about Linux friend2: "what is this Linux"
Me:"it's an OS"
Friend2:"so it's something like excel and powerpoint."

Unfortunately there wasn't a cliff to jump off in that moment.

It's funny how a man gets something done and gets a "Good work, John!".

But, a woman gets the same thing done, and gets "Good work, team!".

It's that time of year again where we get to see the same illogical and AIDS causing ads until a week after Christmas.

These car commercials really piss me off even though it's something trivial asf.

"I don't accept this, I demand that this gets solved right now"

It's funny how clients think that demanding that something gets solved "right now" will actually get it solved faster/right that moment.

I made a script for this group to verify their data, but they didn't want to use it because it's "only 50 lines of code and might miss something".

I don't know what the hell this is, but my idiotic brother downloaded it.

I uninstalled it, but if it's malware, I'll be pissed off.

He literally just came up to me, and said that he clicked a link on YouTube to download something. He even said, "It's an invisible app."

He says it's invisible, because you can't find it unless you check the apps setting.

Just bought a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard/mouse combo, it's actually quite awesome and I'm learning how to properly type with 10 fingers!

I somehow feel conflicted though because I'm using something from microsoft :sweat_smile_

Adding in a sleep(3) so my program looks like it's doing something, and not just throwing an error *straight* away, at least it will look like it tried...

How to talk as a dev to a dev:
1.) Talk normally
2.) Start shouting
3.) Slow down but say it more aggressively
4.) Realise you made a mistake and/or misunderstood something
5.) Explain why it's not your fault
6.) Explain why it's someone elses fault
7.) Repeat

Was asked to log into a website by my company and I swear something was up... I needed to double-check

Yup... it's even worse than I thought.

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)

after weeks of living on my own the inevitable occurred.

I forgot to eat.

it's so distracting to eat. When I'm focused on something I just want to get it done. but by the time I'm done it's way past eating time.

When people call something a bug, but it's just not finished yet.

This is how most comments in code are. Why are you telling me it's a coffee cup, I can fucking see it's a coffee cup, who owns it and why is it right here? Are you putting coffee in it or something else?

My first PR approved for open source community. WOW !!!

It's felt like heaven. I'm done something useful 😍

Finally thought I had a good project idea.

It's already been done and is a large site. 200k users.

WHY CAN'T I JUST COME UP WITH SOMETHING UNIQUE FOR ONCE?

One of my coworkers uses

if(null == something())

I know it's just coding style, but it fucking annoys me.

Supporting slavery has become insanely easy these days. All you have to do is press a few buttons to order something on Amazon.

It's insane how far technology has come ...

Learning Vue.js was pretty amazing. I just started using it and got it. I think, with any tool, you know straight away if it's something you will work with rather than against.

Well it's either me, myself or I who fucked something up or someone over at Facebook are having a really bad time right now...

It's more scary when something that isn't supposed to work starts working

when you're the only developer at a firm and the client wants something bc "it's super simple, that's how ebay does it, just copy them"

Sometimes it's just disgusting to explain something to a noob who doesn't take your advice into account and continues to look for information from unreliable resources.

PO: "I'll email you the details."
Me: Sure, I'll start with what I have right now.

I start coding, 7 hours later I got something working, not sure if it's what he wants.

Still no email.

I might have a followup rant tomorrow when he tells me it's not what he wanted at all.

I've discovered now that on VS Code when you point over a CSS class it shows you an example of the element it reffer to. 😲

I don't know if it's something new or if it's already present in other editors, but I found it now and I love it!

When you're completely new to android development and Gradle doesn't want to love you...

So i finished my first app today and i feel really good, it's not a great app or anything. But i feel good after making something and i am really happy :D

I booted up the biggest windows VM azure could have and posted this on facebook saying something like "it's about time i make an upgrade"

[doesn't do any work for like 3 days]
"I guess it's about time I got something done"

Valentine's day, had a date !

Joking, was an appointment to the physiotherapist

Why The Fuck do you always have to say "Yes"?

I'm asking for a goddamn opinion. Give me an opinion.
But no, everything I say must be fucking gold 'cause it's always "yes", "you're right", "good idea", "I agree".

It's irritating as hell. It's "yes" even when I say something stupid on purpose.

Learn to say no, for fuck's sake.

it's really java so bad? it's JEE getting deprecated? i am just learning java and i'm afraid of learn something that's turning obsolete😢

Somebody at Samsung is testing something in production 🤭

It's "Find my mobile" which is preinstalled by default on Samsung devices

Literally everone were advertising me LinkedIn as something awesome and life-changing.
So I've registered as well, filled it up with a lot of info. It's been about 6 months since then - still silence.
Such disappointment.

How can Google or Samsung allow this murder? The rounded boxes are stuck to the edges? This is a crime. It's disgusting. Apple will never let this pass. They call this One UI or something.

Proud Windows fanboy - If something is "Not responding", try "Task manager". Then everything is cool

But you see, it's actually "Task manager" that is "Not responding"

Is this just me?

if(..... expression.....){
System.out.println("it works, calm down");
} else{
System.out.println("it's not fucking working, holy fucckk, fucking WORK");

Tell me if you do something similar.

Bought a micro:bit for me and my son. It's awesome! He's also learning super fast. He's 7 y/o and already creating something on it. First thing i've learned him: Array starts at 0 😎

When you review a PR from a senior dev, find something improvable, suggest it and the dev updates it accordingly.

The first time when this happened made me the luckiest guy. It's still rare, though.

Woke up to an email from someone, saying that a blog post (tutorial) I had made really helped them. It's always nice to hear that I've made something that helps people. But idk, there's something special about getting that feedback via email, maybe because it takes more steps to send an email..?

That moment when... something finally works.

But you don't trust it.

So you pass it bad inputs to see if it's failing as it should.

I like how in every other profession if something doesn't work it's called a mistake or a fuck-up but in software development it's called a bug and it is absolutely expected.

My girlfriend is ranting about her work... It's a shame she isn't into tech or something like that.. If she would, I could show her the beauty of this online platform.

My coworker and I are both novice programmers: we both know a little about several languages.

So it's really cool when we learn something new from each other. I learned how to properly open a file in Python, and he learned that "\t" is the tab character.

It's a Win-Win for both of us!

I can't take any more CRUD.

That's it.

It seems all I do every day is CRUD, CRUD and more CRUD.

It's easy, it's fast, but fuck me... Give me at least some data manipulation to do, SOMETHING where I actually need to enable my mind, and not just "write code while watching netflix".

Customer: can you fix my flashdrive? I think it's corrupted or something.

Docker is funny.

I'll try to fire up docker-compose and it will freak out.

Docker Error: "Oh man! Oh man! Something is wrong! It's probably not docker it's YOUR CONTAINER!!!! WTF DUDE!!!"

Me: "Uh docker ... your little systray icon indicates docker itself is broken right now...""

Docker: "No way man, i'm sure it's your fucked up container, must be something wrong with it!!!"

Me: "I'm just gonnna restart you."

Docker: "OK but I'm just say'n th----"

-restarts docker-

-restarts docker-compose-

Docker: "OMG It's up!!!!"

Here's what being in a rut is like:

You wake up to the alarm, you waste an hour or two in bed stalling browsing social shit. Finally got out of bed. You have a todo list. You ignore it. Get something to eat. Open Netflix or some brain numbing shit while having breakfast. A few hours go by, you're still watching Netflix and switching to browsing social shit in-between so your brain is numb as much as possible. It's lunch time, you're supposed to cook something, nah, I will order something. Oh, it's bedtime, let's make a todo list and go to bed and start over tomorrow...

Turns out cpp isn't the terrifying monster it used to be! I must be doing something wrong, it's actually working.

Published my first Android library today!! It's not something big but I guess I reached a new milestone in my devlife today!!

Ladies and gentlemens, my everyday workstation.. at work.

i5-5300 2,30Ghz, 8gb ram and 128ssd. Bloated external screen with low resolution and even lower colour saturation.

"So you're like... A computer guy right? So you like work at the Apple Store or something?"

Just nod. It's easier that way.

It's the end times: I've received a JIRA ticket asking me to fix something in JIRA

Who the fuck uses http code 200 for a failure. Seriously have you ever heard something about a need to parse the shit you're returning...

Now I don't know whether it's me who's wrong, but man there are more than 80 different codes defined so there really should be something for you, don't you think?

And don't give me shit like "well the request worked so we return 200 it's only that the request wasn't correct". What for a fucking peace of something are you... Those codes are for that exact reason.

Anyways I'm going to parse the shit with string compare and afterwards kill myself out of shame. Whish me luck...

Anyone else getting this? Apparently Google broke something.
You never realise how much you use a tool until it's gone!

Biggest annoyance of favorite language:

Python has no static type checking. I know that is not something that is intended for Python. It's just that I enjoy the syntax, but would love the type-safety of something like Kotlin/Java

Just taught a neural network to have a polite conversation. It might as well be a goldfish flopping on a keyboard, but hey, it's something...

While playing Tower Unite, i spammed my spacebar.
Windows opened a window that i confirmed that something by spamming my spacebar.

My business partners: "it's so fucking cloud!!" Whenever I do something remotely "techy"... so cringeworthy

When you're helping someone with a bug for ages and then try something random and it's miraculously fixed so you have to spend another hour figuring out why...

It's so hard to think of something to create 🤔

When it's midnight and all you can think about is whether to deploy a personal project in a language/framework you know well or to take advantage and learn something new...

someone: so what do you do?
me: I'm a software developer
someone: oh, can you design me a logo?
me: no
someone: something simple, I'm sure...
me: NO, IT'S NOT MY F***ING JOB

Even with something as simple as pagination, it's possible to create a complete accessibility abomination. Dear designer, you've perfected your flat design style.

Fuck you! I'm not coding this.

It's a website about selling solar panels, underfloor heating etc... Not a single piece of design reminds it.

Duck typing

If something quacks that does not mean it's a duck. A duck has wings, can fly and is renowned for eating bread. For all you know what you have is a tape player.

I'm hoping it's not just me, but whenever I'm using a website or mobile app, and see something badly designed I get very angry...

Sigh, I'm the "tech" side of the startup. When I explain things to my co-founder on what is/isn't possible, it's frustrating to have to explain how it wouldn't be possible without effecting something else.

Yeah ! 100++'s

It's not a big milestone but ... Well it's something xD

Thank you all for this amazing community !

When your non-programmer boss asks how exactly some code/bug was fixed.

"You sure? I mean, alright... "

It's not like every time something doesn't work right, this will be the fix. We're not going to have a conversation in the future where you help me troubleshoot something by remembering parts of this conversation.

When you get a project ready for launch and the client finds a huge error that has to be fixed first, except it's not a huge error, it's something they requested two months ago and forgot about.

It's an emotional rollercoaster when something good happens unexpectedly and you have no one to share/celebrate it with.

In a way, it's a bit unfair on those in other fields that we get paid so well for doing something we love.

It's almost 10 pm now. For some reason, I have a sudden strong urge to code something till morning. The problem is I don't know what to code.

Today I was trying to convince a colleague that:
fun example(){
if(thing){
//Do something
}
}
Is stupid because it should be
fun example() {
if (thing) {
//Do something
}
}
It's the small things that are the most frustrating

It's cool finally seeing real world feedback for something you developed and programmed yourself, I'm still in college and I'm trying to start a company with some software I came up with, and it's being taken very well from potential clients!🙏🏻

It's upsetting to work on something, spend my time and mind on it, for someone to just undo it. The worst part is that i think i'll have to redo it next week.

It's 2017 and every keyboard on Earth still has vertically unaligned keys !

Trying to write code using the devRant API on crappy Dominican WIFI. 😡 it's almost like they want me to do something horrible like go outside!?

I was lazy tonight and wanted to implement something of this kind very fast… is this really dumb or okay in your opinion?

If it's dumb, do you have a better and cleaner solution?

I love web development and web design. You can make something custom that looks great in a short period of time. Use the many frameworks to your advantage.

Also, for the people hating css, i get it. It's har sometimes but it's not that bad. Flexbox makes your life waaay easier.

Why do developers act like it's such a travesty when a non-techie says something wrong or ignorant about tech? It's not like we study computers and programming for a career and therefore know a lot more or anything...
Plus, it's not the non-techie's fault that the schools don't teach computer schools that well.

"You obviously nerfed something, it's broken now and it wasn't last patch!"

I can't tell if it's me, the code, windows updates or visual studio updates but something fucked up.

Google just announced the .dev TLD which is now available for registration.

It's annoying when you just want to learn something as quickly as possible but this tutor talks about his cats or random things that distract him that distract me.

It's frustrating when network guy blame tomcat is not running and hence something wrong with application without fucking checking proxy settings. Fucking waste my 2 hours and in the end he looks like idiot. Good Morning.

Being treated as some kind of alien, when in fact it's something that can be learnt just as easily as anything else.

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

Why do marketers always tarnish the name of new concepts by turning them into buzzwords?

For example, "Cloud" is one of the most misused and overused words on the internet. If something has anything to do with the internet, it's likely to be plastered with the word "Cloud".

It's like "App" all over again. Anything remotely related to technology is called an "App" by it's marketing team and layman users.

Can we have a separate -- option for spam? It feels kinda weird having to report something for being offensive if it's just another "php bad" post.

Well, didn't know handling a hundred million records out of db is going to be this hard...

Life's horrible, also [nevermind, I was gonna post something but I forgot what it was so fuck it. Good night].

It's just a piece of paper which tells that I know something.

I heard in one dev podcast saying "Know everything about something and something about everything". I think it's very good moto in your dev career and general in life

Freaking out over this tweet, it's making it sound like I've won something. I never win anything. Has that changed now??? 😲😲😲

I get questions a lot online on how to do something with programming. (at least it's not someone asking me to help with their printer). I have no clue why they keep asking me though, I don't know how to do shit. I just google and press buttons until it does something somewhat cool.

I don't :< Honestly, it's just something I don't really think of and I either waste time or do actually work. No need to push myself

It's amazing what a night of sleep does...

Motivation to do something:

Night time: 100%
Morning: 0

You know something is wrong when you feel like smashing everything while yelling:

Is it just my preview or are there more rants with the topic "lazy"?

Okay, it's getting a bit annoying to _hear_ my graphics hardware (NOT the fans. The circuits) working when I'm doing something on the screen.. Sometimes it feels like it's gonna snap and burst in flames or smth..

Started at a new company that uses Perforce as an scm. For those who don't know, it's a centralised, yet distributed scm with benefits of neither! It's also incredibly unintuitive.

What I don't get is that git is free and awesome, and we're apparently paying through the nose for something worse!

Start with it at age 4, learn children to protect themselves on the internet, but also show them the possibilities. It's not something I expect this generation to properly teach the next one

It's amusing seeing something new on r/ProgrammerHumor and a few hours later seeing the same thing posted to devRant. Almost like there's a bot with a 2 hour delay posting to devRant.

Looks like something has been enjoying devrant.😃 I came back today to see how's it's going but I think the admins had had enough 😁

It's weird how imposter syndrome kicks in when I get notifications on something I shared on social media!

Release on Monday === almost 10h of code today... Though it's just an internal release, so not that serious really. Though it's be fun to have something we've been working on for half a year working decently the first time people actually get to try it... Well, well...

It's possible hack something without drinking a coffee meanwhile?

Today I just considered that Excel isn't just a random spreadsheet product name, it's the *word* excel. To _excel_ at something

My Laptop decided to switch the ethernal off switch. Literally while i was typing something.

Luckily the drives are fine tho.

Guess it's time for a new one..

When I saw a blog post said you need more than 1 cup of coffee to get AWS configuration done, I didn't believe it. Now I know... it's true. very true. It takes forever to make use of your config. By the time it's done, you already switch to something else.

Same as last year, make something useful

Also: it's been a whole year since then? Where did the time go?

!dev

There are two weeks left until the PhD application results are published. But I'm having such awful nervous breakdowns. I don't even know, if it's anxiety or if I'm literally dying inside from something else. From an almost-heart-attack today when I got a trivial and unrelated bad-news email, to keep having weird dreams about things like end of the world and post-apocalyptic life, or being jumpy all the time.

... And it's not like it's life or death, I know that. I know that I can do other things if this doesn't stick. I know things will workout the way they should; I know all of those. But there's just something destroying my physical and mental health right now, and I don't even know if it's just the anxiety for the next big step in my career, or something else, or how I should deal with it.

... Anyways, amannoyed.

It's made me realize how much I miss drawing something on a piece of paper while explaining it.

i like to code because:
- it's challenging
- it's very personal, it's my way to solve the problem
- in the end i might have something cool that i did myself and that's priceless

What would be the most semantic option for a domain if it's just a personal space? .com means commerce, .net means networking services, I think space means... space, the sky... and it's a bit long... .dev? .xyz?
Should I just forget about this and either go with a regular .com or something cheaper I find?

Welp, I've started to see old posts on recent. I guess it's time to go do something.

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...

Every time I see the N+1 query problem in people's implementation, I feel like crying. Especially when it's dealing with large data sets of something like 1000 records.

Seriously, what is the point of a 1px border-radius? It's barely discernible from 0. It looks like the button got slightly dented in transit or something.

If you're going to round the corners, at least go 2px so it's noticeable by the average user or not at all. COMMIT! :)

I don't know if it's a déjà vu or something but I saw an iPhone launch with bigger screen and a pen!

How hard it is percieved by management to do something in code is proportional to whether or not it's a task that sales or the CEO wants, versus what the developers need. Developers want to rewrite something, or fix infrastructure? Too much work can't justify it. Sales wants to clone Google Search? We'll expect it by next month.

Imposter syndrome is such a bitch

It feels so good to finally be able to achieve something without constant self doubt (okay I lied, but atleast I am actually programming)

But fuck me it's hard to keep reminding myself that it's okay, it's fine if it's not perfect, just evaluate all the possible solutions and pick the best one, it's fine

I just saw some loan/bank ad that read something around the line "when the budget goes negative, the minus becomes plus" ("Când bugetul dă cu minus, minusul se face plus")

NO, this isn't a feature, it's a bug and it's called "underflow"

Isn't there something less of a clusterfuck than kubernetes.....
Yes it's a clusterfuck literally

"Make a good version of something that already exists but has a dogshit implementation" is my current idea. And it's an idea that would be worthwhile but just plain annoying to do.

Being a programmer or dev is a lot like being a chef: (I've done both)
Sure it's something anyone can just jump in on with minimal experience, and probably make a little thing that kinda looks cool to the layman, but it takes experience and hard lessons to make something that will impress the judges.

I always love trying something new, especially when it's Linux.

In this case, I'm installing Plasma Mobile on my phone to see how it handles.

"Vitamin B" as we say in Germany.

Would be something like "Vitamin R" in english, it's all about relationships to the right people.

Why are many people talking about VM? Like I couldn't get if you're using it instead of dual booting or it's something else going on in the hind side.....

This is what happens when it's late at night and you've been staring at something for too long... someone had to point out to me that I actually added the wrong permission :/

StackOverflow feels like a digital version of McDonald's, Costa's, or Weatherspoons - it's hard not to bump into one, and if you're hungry you won't go an extra mile to find something decent.

Me *looking at the project* : it won't be difficult, it's going to be piece of cake.
Me *really reads more about it* : maybe it's not what I thought
Me *now doubting myself* : Google has all the answers
Me : runs to Google for something as simple as a while loop😩.

People are usually better known for something special in their social circles, like a habit, or something they like, or a phrase they often use, like their catchphrase...
As a developer, do you think you have like a code leitmotif? A singular habit or a certain algorithm you like to use?

For example, I'm very mad about string quotes, so I tend to use strictly ' unless it's better / necessary to use ", ` or something else.

I don't know if this commit message is helpful or not, at least CHANGELOG.md was also updated.

Yikes...

If multiple engineers say something about their system design that is so stupid it cant possibly be true, it's gotta be. Holy eff it is.

I love it when sleazy business analysts change previous notes on a work item so it looks like they stated something they never actually had, especially when it's something that "I'll update the design after your development".

Fuck Xamarin! Fuck Xamarin.Forms!

It's slow, it's full of bugs, it's missing basic functionality, it's rapid new updates breaking older frameworks, it's a shitty unstable IDE on both Mac and Windows, it's the need to frequently reopen files or restart the IDE to fix "intellisense" or the false compile errors, it's non working UI builder and previewer, it's connection issues with simulators, emulators and real devices, ...

Have I forgotten something? Probably yes.

Your dev customer for many years.

If there's something that makes me want to shoot myself even more than having to work with python, it's python's package management.

Working from home via RDP. The lag kills me at times, you delete something, nothing happens and suddenly it's all gone. It's like I'm communicating in outer space with a super slow response time! Arrghhh!

It's impossibru: I'm doing RxJava + RxKotlin + RxAndroid and I'm understanding it.

Somewhat.

My tests pass, at least that's something. It's not yet doing completely what I want, but the hardest part is behind me. 🤩

What do you think are the most common magic numbers? I think it's something like 1440 or 86400

yaourt -S something-git
>cloning git repo (~100KiB/s)
me: ok it's time to recent rants on devrant.

That moment when you realize it isn't a fart it's something else O.O

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

Dude. Gimp sucks. I've been using it for about 10 years, and I really want it to be something it's just never going to be. It just sucks.

Barely any +1's on my laat rant ...

But both @dfox and &trogus liked it, so it's something 😊

Today, I want to send a POST request from Siemens PLC as a UDP datagram to an apache webserver running PHP and Laravel. It's definitely something wrong with me. It's like 98% failure. :D

"Oh, don't use Google Password Manager. It's not safe. Use something else. [Paid]"

* proceeds in using it anyway. I don't care. I trust Google.

When something worked perfectly yesterday and now it’s just fucked up without touching anything:
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day

When your co-worker is told to implement something, and insisted it is the wrong way to go:

It's how you train a puppy David. He poops, you rub his face in it, then toss him outside. I'm afraid you're the puppy. However .. It's not your poop 😳

Well I got a degree as a chemist 🙄. Not something I would do for 40 years but for a while it's okay

It's always great idea to map common keyboard shortcuts to something completely different, such as when IDEA sets the default behaviour of Ctrl+Y to "remove the line under caret". Thanks guys, I love surprises, next time try something with ctrl+c.

Note to my future self: when installing the IDEA again, remember to remap the ctrl+y..

When you think you suck something it's NOT your fault - learn how it's done in a different language or framework, then come back to it.
When you think you mastered something, it IS your fault - learn how it's done in a different language or framework, then come back to it.

What's your favorite bug you've ever created? Here's one that took a few hours from my life:

if (errCode);
printf("Something bad happened!");

It keeps failing, and yet it all seems like it's working!!!!

Learning to play the piano right now(hey, SOMETHING has to be done about all that coding stress, right??).

In one sentence - Learning music is easy, but it's surely not simple.

I'm so sick of stupid little bugs. Not proper bugs like, I don't know, a memory leak or something significantly wrong, it's always a bloody semi colon or backtick...

If there is something I hate, it's when peoples emails end with "Sent from my iPhone".
It literally doesn't add anything of value to the conversation, on the contrary it only shows that the person is either too indifferent or lazy to turn it off, or *shivers* actually thinks it's cool.

Just office things.

"Yes Dr, we do cover the corpse as part of our policy if such a case occurs."

Something about the corpse falling off a gurney and breaking something from what I could tell. Granted, it's dead already. People love to sue.

What Linux distros do you use and how stable are they ?
I'm currently running antergos, but it's really not working out. I'm looking for something that is more or less stable in the long run (something that doesn't require me to reinstall the whole f-ing OS every other day)

Chat Journal. A chat-based journal application.

An android app I built past month using flutter and flask for the server.

I started with flutter around 2 months ago. I believe it's the way mobile development is supposed to be. It's a treat for every mobile developer out there.

I used flask to build the server, database and even made my own analytics engine. Made an awaful lot of mistakes at the beginning but I think I'm improving at this day by day.

This probably is my biggest and definitely the coolest project so far. There's some saying
"If you have completed building 90% of something, there's 90% more to be built". It's called the 180% rule (or something similar) which literally signifies the difference between building something and building something well enough to be able to publish on the playstore. And this project taught me that.

How about a feature so that when you click "[read more]" there is something showing where that last view ended. It's hard to continue reading without searching through the rant.
