It has never worked for me. Lol.

My girlfriend's dad asked me to fix his printer.

I open it up, pulled the cartridge, blowed some air and put it back again.

It worked.

He now thinks I am a genius.

F🤬k!! why doesn’t this work on the testing server!l! I swear it worked local.

Meanwhile live:

When he told her he worked in IT support, it really turned her on.
Then it turned her off.
Then it turned her on again...

Last night I had a dream about a bug and I woke up with a solution. When I got to the office and tried it out it worked...I have heard about this happening before but this is the first time I have experienced it!

Prisoners be like "I'm innocent", devs be like "It worked on my machine".

Sure pal, sure.

“That regex almost worked, lemme just tweak it a bit–”
*2 hours later*
“Fuck it we’re processing strings character by character with a while loop like granddad did.”

Twitter doing test on production... Interesting. At least it worked 😂

Dev: So how do you want this feature fixed?

Manager: It should work how it worked before.

Dev: I'm new to this feature, I don't know how it worked before or what is broken about it.

Manager: Well just make it work like it worked before.

Dev: I DONT KNOW HOW IT WORKED BEFORE THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING YOU. PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN DO MY JOB.

Manager: Just how it worked before!

Dev: ...

Manager: ...

Dev: fuck you

Client: I need this *insert app/machine/thing* ASAP! No excuses!

*work overtime just to get it done*

*after 2 weeks of finishing it*

Me: So has the thing worked without issues?
Client: Oh, I haven’t even used it yet!

:/

Cries on corner...

If drinking coffee doesn't wake you up in the morning, try deleting a table in the production database.

Verified, it worked.

*fiction* At a job interview:
"We are looking for someoje with 4-5 years of exp. in plep.js framework"
"Yeah, I've worked a lot with it"
"How well do you know it?"
"Perfectly I think, I released it last month"

Wrote JavaScript today and it didn't work in chrome and Firefox but it worked fine in IE...I instantly knew I did something wrong.

I once wrote about 100 lines of C code without compiling or testing in between in notepad++.

And it had no errors and worked.😎

🤣🤣🤣 I wonder if it worked 😶

HOLY FUCK I DID IT
I wrote an Arduino code for my friend. I didn't have any board at the moment to test it, but he flashed it the next day, and EVERYTHING FUCKING WORKED!!! AT THE FIRST TIME!!!

I use different variations of the same password. Everywhere.

It's worked out good so far but I can see it all crashing down on me at some point.

It worked last night

Technical Founder at today's meeting: "All of you guys have work-life balance. It shouldn't be like that. We need act like a startup. You guys need to work really hard. This guy (pointing at me) once worked 10 hours each day, where I worked 16 hours. We really need to move fast."

I'll just leave this words here.

...but it worked yesterday!

Anyone else went to bed thinking of how to solve a bug in their code and then ends up dreaming about it then, the idea of how to solve it comes into mind. You wake up to try it out and it worked? 😀

Today, I was told to investigate why the software doesn't work on "some" computers. I had no previous experience with that particular software but I just had to make some tests... easy, right? As soon as I ran the software, my computer crashed (I literally had to restart the pc). I asked my colleagues if I did something wrong but the set up seemed ok.

Later, in a random discussion about the software I found out it does "a little memory allocation". I opened the performance tab in task manager and ran the software again. In an instant, the RAM went from 1.3GB to 7.66GB (my pc has 8GB of RAM).

In an attempt to find how such a monstrosity was creater, I found out the developer that made the software had 16GB of RAM on his pc.

I have found something that eats RAM more than Chrome... brace yourselves.

When I didn't compile the code for 500+ lines and when i finally did, there was only one syntax err... it was a typo... and then it worked...

I think my most favorite part of programming is when I just try something out and it actually works despite really just guessing.

Developers' excuses

Junior : it works on my machine
Senior : it worked on my machine yesterday

Client called that the application is printing 5 copies instead of 10. I told the store rep to print 20, and it worked! 😂

Finally Going to Resign !!
I worked only for a month in current company but it feels everyday I am dealing with dementors.

My code broke for no reason.
I added a log statement to see why.
*tests code*
It worked....
What the 何?!

HR: Here at company A we have a great culture. It truly is the best place ever to work!

Dev: How many companies have you worked for?

HR: Besides babysitting as a teenager this is the only company I’ve ever worked for.

Dev: I thought so.

It worked last night.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I started learning php at age 15, copying code from tutorials, changing stuff until it worked. Now 10 years later I still copy code from tutorials and change stuff until it works...

-I told a relative, that I worked with developing software/plugins
-Next time we met: How does it go with playing games?

... Oh well, here we go again.

My colleague wanted me to examine a script issue. I open it up, and it took several minutes to comprehend how it worked. Once it finally clicked:

Me: I can’t decide if this is idiotic or genius.
Colleague: Well, YOU wrote it.
Me: Oh… Genius it is, then!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhbhhbhhhhh

Finally!!!!!

Oh..

My.

F*ing...

G****t

It finally worked!

Holy shit!

I figured out how to make it work. Only took me like 3 weeks. But it works so smoothly now.... Holy f.

Tonight is the strangest night ever. I was coding for 2hours straight then I ran the code later and it worked fine.😰

But I swear it worked on my machine!!

Sent HTML to google translate server side to support multiple languages.. actually worked pretty well but it made me feel dirty for weeks.

Ever been stuck in a bug, you sleep it off, dreamed of the code to fix it and you woke up, tried it, and it worked??

Decided to update my rooted Oneplus One...
Everything worked on the first try without even having to do a bunch of reboots...
Hate it when weird stuff like that happens.

I hate android fragments, I hate 'em, I hate 'em, oh I hate em so much....
..
Wait it worked! I love android, I love fragments! <3

Spent 3 hours testing my new feature that worked because I didn't believe it ACTUALLY worked the first time

Never used Linux before. At least not enough to say I've worked on it. But these discussions in here, they've pushed me. I'll do it now. I'll try Fedora. Right now! And never come back...till it's ABSOLUTELY needed.

Why I Love To Code ???

I Hate Programming 🤨
I Hate Programming 😧

Oh Fuck ! it worked..

I Love Programming

HR: What was the last project you handled?
Me: I worked on an internal system for my current company. It is basically an interdepartmental monitoring system.
HR: Ohh. Good. Do you have a copy of it? Can you show me how it works?
Me: ......

I worked on an amazing web app that tracked satellites and their failure rates. it was beautiful and worked fantastically. Me team worked like dogs to get it done three months. Our manager insisted it has to work perfectly for the demo and we delivered... We all got raises and everyone was happy, right? WRONG!

Demo day comes and management decides that they don't want to build the app because the customer pulled out. Sooo my manager then asked me why I wasted so much time building it when static images would have been fine. I lost my cool and yelled at my manager "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO GET A FULLY FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM WORKING!" Then I stormed out of the meeting.

It is still the coolest thing I ever built. Too bad it will never see the light of day.

Don't know why it worked yesterday and Don't know why it doesn't work today.

I refactored half of my code and it worked for the first attempt. What kind of sorcery is this?

Yesterday, I decided to rewrite the code of a project I'm doing for a week. I rewrote all the code with a better agility (is it the good word? ) and I ran it. It worked the first time! It worked the first tiiiiime!

Once, when working on top down RPG, I woke up at 3am and wrote map moving system. It worked flawlessly. Later had to spend 2 days to understand how the fuck it actually worked.

Ahh nights so full of passion.

OOPs It worked LOL

So today I made my first basic program in C++ from scratch that worked! After some troubleshooting.. But I thought of ways I could edit it and make it better!

Stupid bluemix console, build a translator web apps which processed by translator api services. When I pushed it, error occurred *panic begins*. Then I decided to create a default netcore template and push it. It worked. Push the former one again and it worked.

Stupid server honestly

Plot Twist: My code worked on the first try.

I found a weird bug where the output wasn't what I expected to be. After a few tries to fix it, I typed in something I expected was not going to work. It worked....

But it worked yesterday...

Famous last words:

"But it worked in my local..."

And it worked! 😮

Coolest project I've worked on. Artistic.af machine learning + Instagram makes your images artistic AF. Did it as a side project to get up to speed on NN implementations on GPUs

My new favourite response to a bug ticket:

"But do you not remember we tested the implementation and it worked?"

... yes ... then it broke under other circumstances.

... must be terrorists or something

Been quite some time since I have last worked with PHP, but it is that time again.

New project, demanded that PHP being used.

*clicks knuckles

When your IT Director pays $10k+/yr for a database and it doesn't even have an API... and you worked 100+ hrs on developing your own...

Installed Elementary on an old machine. Wouldn't boot. Started over fresh, worked the second time, did nothing different. It's pretty, but not sure if I'll keep it.

It worked the first time!

It worked locally

I just converted a massive project from C to cuda, I renamed everything, and it just worked.
What the fuck have I done wrong?

When you see what worked for someone else with a similar issue on GitHub and run it.

Trust me, I hope I know what I'm doing too.

"But it worked fine, yesterday!"

Basically script-kiddy-copy-pasting some C++ until I understood how it worked lol (and then learned it properly)

Obviously broken is better than slightly broken any day. Slightly broken you always wonder if that is how it always worked. Obviously broken you don’t have that problem.

IT FRICKING WORKED

THE FALCON HEAVY WORKED FLAWLESS

The synced landing was beautiful <3

What happened to the core though? 🤔

Me: "The exploit worked when you tested it too, right?"
Them: "..."
Me: "You tested it too, right?"
Them: "..."
*facepalm*

When i worked in IT there was a client who bringed his desktop saying that it gets really hot and made some noices. When we opened the case we found a giant dead rat inside, its tail was tangled in a fan. It smelled horrible.

Worked for a friend of mine in the early 2000s. Had to implement a booking system into PHP for some private customer. This was PHP 4.something, the CMS was some alpha release of an open source project that my friend was sure was the future (it wasn't), and the specs were one A4 page of pencil scribbles that he took while talking to the customer.
Deadline was insane, nothing worked. I worked from getting up to laying down to get shit done, not being able to sleep, feeling stressed all the time. One week before roll-out I actually managed to get it running and we showed it to the customer. He was like "nope, that's not what I meant" and demanded lots of changes but accepted only one or two weeks of roll-out delay.
I did finish the job, made some good money, but then quit as soon as it was done.
This experience broke me so much that I worked in a workshop for 2 years to get away from programming as far as I possibly could.

When booting my handwritten kernel, and it actually worked! Without a doubt the most exciting thing.

When google finds out you're a bot.

That paranoia feeling when you push an upgrade and something stops working, you rollback, it still doesn't work..
"Has it ever worked at all?"

I worked with Angular for last 1.5 years now.
.

Now every web development project I see, I want to change it to angular.

Is it just me or you all feel the same?

So I’m learning bootstrap basic and some javascript yesterday, it worked kinda well and today I’m planning on putting datetimepicker on my training project. Spent half a day trying to figure out why it didn’t work only to realise I turned off script on my internet options and when it finally worked, I found out that you can do that with html alone but need a newer version of browser.

Why am I even bother at the first place...

I prefer "it worked" over "hello world"

Alright, I know people joke about this but I just spent 4 hours debugging a 50 line chunk of code, and the first time it worked without errors it scared me🙃

So I pulled an OLD ibm out of a trailer, that is literally falling down, today. Anyway, this cpu had been rained on and been in extremes of heat, and cold, so much so that there was moss growing on it.

I pulled it out and plugged it in, with the original plug *that was rusted in*, and.. it worked. The screen and everything worked perfectly! The floppy disk that hadn't been used in over 14 years and was stuck inside the reader, worked...

Mind blown!

As the old saying goes, they don't make 'em like they used to.

Isn't it great when you start a project with nothing but dedication and enthusiasm to have it ruined by someone that just doesn't care and proceeds to shit on everything you have worked for.

I worked about two years on a browser game without using any version control. I also thought it would be nice to have absolutely no comments in the code.

Today was a really good day today.
Everything worked the way I wanted it to.

IT FUKIN WORKED YESTERDAY!!

It worked for me.

Just wanted everyone to know that I did a find and replace all in my project and it actually worked as intended.

That's all.

Tested a site in edge browser but it kept crashing the browser. No idea why the site was crashing. Other sites worked fine. How did I fix it?

Restarted Windows...

I'M GONNA KILL THIS MAC

what the FUCK!!!???!!!??? IT WORKED YESTERDAY!!!!

Now the whole iOS build pipeline fails again complaining smth about distribution profiles. Then about certificates. And then it starts using a completely unrelated certificate and complaining that provisioning profile does not include it...

what the f...

IT FUCKING WORKED YESTERDAY!!!!!!

Worked on optimizing the Firefox add-on I'm writing yesterday evening, was about to go to bed and packaged/installed it onto my normal Firefox (not Firefox for developers).

It worked perfectly fine on the developer version: hardly anything happens on the normal Firefox version and I took all debugging console.log's out 😬

Fuck me. Going to try to fix this shit tonight but damn.

Last night i ran my code, it worked. This morning i ran, it didn't.

I'm starting to doubt that my computer is a deterministic system.

But it worked perfectly in QA and UAT... Then we go to staging

I wonder if I'll ever reach a point where I write a line of code and don't immediately refresh the page to see if it worked like I thought it would

I've been programming for a while and worked on some relatively interesting projects but I haven't worked in the industry yet. The rants people make here, they make feel as if I know nothing and to some extent, it's a bit intimidating. I still love it though :-)

Co-Worker laughed at me for taking a task on their side project and only them have worked at it. FYI i've never worked as a Dev before and I have a really low knowledge of web developing. Well i finished the task in time and sent the pull request to one of them. Got a 'well done dude, high five'. Feels good man :)

I hate having to reverse engineer an application you built, just to understand it. All because you haven't worked on it in months.

Forgot a keepass password.
Brute force script to find the password.
It worked.

Created a variable in the middle of a rant with JavaScript and named it as an acronym for "mother fucker", it actually worked what I tried to do with it... "mother fucker" is in production now

Uugghhhh... Last time I worked with PayPal I swore I'd never touch it ever again. And here I am...

At a dynamoDB conference. Guy in the audience keeps thinking he knows more than the people who actually worked on it. 🤦‍♂️

TFW your graphics ASM code works on the first try.

Yes, it just happened to me, and it's a relatively annoying rectangle drawing routine.

Writing complicated ASM code and making it work on the first try is definitely a new thing to me, I feel so powerful! >:D

Man nothing quite like reworking some code to make it 'better' so that nobody has to read it top to bottom to make a change.

And then months later get a request and think "Oh crap that code".... and you go in and find the little hooks you added made a 3 or 4 hour (or more) change into a 15 minute task.

Coding style influence:

Me: Did it work?

-looks like it worked-

Me: THIS IS THE WAY!

Someone else: Yeah but that -

Me: THIS IS THE WAY!

Developing a web app that I'm sure was touched by Satan himself. Bugs come out from no where.
Yesterday when I left everything worked. Today when I arrived nothing works! Lots of angular errors. WTF. No one else worked on it . :O

Finally got 'em!
I totally forgot about it and it worked!

New dev at our company. After two weeks he has finished a feature for a project. Want to merge it into the dev branch ... he worked in the master branch.

Not me but a friend of mine worked on xvideos front end and he hated it.

I tried developing an API based on some other ones that would query my school's timetables faster than our app.
It worked.
I'm proud now.

ParcelJS where have you BEEN all of my life!

Just tried adding it to a project, all I did was

"parcel watch src/app.js --target node"

and I can't believe it worked! Like holy crap

The happy moment you start a new project a Find that you can use your old code, then realizing you don't remember how it worked but use it anyway.

I'm proud of a chess project I made in Java, at university. It was awful but worked!
One of the first times I did some code without googling it 😋
PS: I don't code and work in Java!

It has finally worked! That Balmer Peak might be an actual thing! I can now sleep peacefully

It worked on my machine.

My physics teacher would call it a sin. Technically enough for wk81 xD

Yeah, i coded an entire NN on paper while physics lesson. Worked pretty well. Except it doesnt work yet :/ Compiler errors because of some referenncing issues

I JUST SPENT A PAINFUL TWO HOURS TRYING TO FIND OUR WHY MY EXCEPTIONS WERE BEING THROWN AFTER EVERY SINGLE INPUT THE USER ENTERED...

I commented out the try catch, it worked, I commented out the throw and it worked, so I uncommented them both and it worked again? WHY DIDN'T IT WORK BEFORE Y U DO DIS

I worked for 18 hours to complete my final JQuery project in University and deadline was in 24 hours.

PS: I got an A, no + because they don't use it.

OBS. Have used it ever since the 0.1.? on Linux.
Worked perfectly then and today as well!

Getting surgical with arrays.... Feeling like a mad scientists cause it worked!!

I am so addicted to Ctrl+E (End) and Ctrl+A (Home) that I accidentally tried in Gmail Compose pop up and it worked!

I haven’t tried it on other text box but it should probably work...

It's important to redo old projects and ideas, here is why:

I worked on a project about 6 months ago, it was mostly just a "coding challenge" and I worked on the project for 3 days and I didn't get it to work. But I started working on the project again from scratch 2 days ago and I got it to work this time!

The moral of this story:
Just making new projects makes it hard to see how much you've grown and improved. But redoing old projects (even if they worked) gives you a concrete representation on how much you've improved (and if you have at all😉)

How would you all suggest preparing for technical interviews? What has worked for you? What hasn't? I know it varies by person and company but I'd love to hear your experiences!

Our parent company wouldn’t give us DB login credentials to a customer server outside our territory... we tried the default username and password and it worked...

I upgraded Linux Mint to version 20 and it just worked. Desktop linux went a long way since I was using early versions of Debian.

Worked with a team on a mobile app project. The system needed to contact a system coded in php.
When a call was made to php, it would be stored in a variable $call. Weirdly it never worked. After spending days trying to find the bug, it turned out that a junior Dev had created a variable $call in another file that was being included into the api file.

We partied the day the bug was fixed 😎

Holy fucking shit, it worked on the first build.

What I feel like after 18 hours of coding and nothing seems to have worked out the way I want it

Me to colleague: It worked yesterday, right?

Wanted to test whether my card worked online or not (was having some issues with it) and decided to try becoming a devRant supporter, and it worked!

Gotta say, I feel really happy to be able to give back to devRant and show my support by doing something as small as this. Loving the darker theme too.

Thanks for everything so far, devRant, and happy to be a supporter.

now that monday is almost over for me, here's a couple of questions:

1) From 0-10, how good was it for you?
2) Had you read it, would you say my post wishing you a passable monday worked?

So, spent half a night setting up Travis CI. Just couldn't understand how CI will improve productivity...? But man when it worked... I wondered why I did not do it early... It even sends notification to my Slack channel...!!

Lua, tables ("arrays") start at 1.

It also has no sleep function and its defacto package manager (luarocks) has almost never worked for me without some serious fuckery

Chief Software Engineer: "There is no way this has ever worked."

Worked till late refactoring code,
Then dreamed I made a huge mistake.
Or was it real? Can't tell !

Just learned how chained liste in C worked (I learned everything before but I was traumatised of the liste..) . It makes me excited.

My first dev project outside of school work was an android application I made for my then-girlfriend to track time between contractions and count kicks during her pregnancy. It was horrifically ugly but it was my first android app and it worked!

Have you ever worked on a project, for which you felt absolutely zero motivation, and every fiber in your body opposed any productive effort on it? What kind of project was that, and how did it end up?

Trust me it worked on my machine .

-My phone is root enabled (built in one)
-Super Mario Run is out so I download it.
-It doesnt like root
-I inadvertently installed full root which can hide itself (lucky no bricking)

AND IT WORKED until now...

Magento 2.

If you've worked with it, you know why.
If you don't know why, do yourself a favor and keep it that way.

Worked my ass off for every single thing, gave everything I had, didn't care about my friends too in some situations
But...
When it came to making someone the head... It wasn't me it someone not even close to me..

If it worked 20 times already, that's no reason not to back it up before doing it the 21st time.

The feeling when you write a long messy algorithm and you think to yourself "this is never going to work" but then it runs exactly as you intended first try! 😎

Experience doesnt equate number of years you worked. It acummulate through each problem/challenge we solve everyday. What your view, please share.

!rant
I met a student at my school who is in a grade a couple years lower than me and was interested in learning about Perlin Noise for a game he’s making. Yesterday I spent a couple hours working on reminding myself how the algorithm worked and teaching him how it worked. Best few hours at school I’ve had in a while!

Since some weeks I've got trouble sleeping, so I put the source code of sleep from the coreutils under my pillow.

Yeah, it worked (:

The dislike of Internet Explorer is pretty universal. But I have to know, what do the devs who worked on IE think of it.

They: It doesn't work on my machine.
Me: It got 100+ votes on Stackoverflow and comments were mostly 'it worked'.

I really wish I had worked somewhere that was hacked, so as to know how it was done, how it was found out, and what measures were taken, from the inside.

The problem is that I worked at a lot, and big places. We were never successfully attacked or hacked as far as I know. Was our security so good, that nobody succeeded? Or was it so bad, that we didn't even notice?

Developed a very simple REST api with pure php. Eventually "api/users/" worked but "api/users" was 301 moved!!.. it was a big problem

Starting to migrate apps from a messy structure to docker containers. Have not worked a lot with docker before so i'll hope it goes as smooth as people told me

My coolest projects that I've worked on:
- Popcorn Time (.io)
- Blackshades (RAT)
- DarkComet (RAT)
- Demonsaw (Google it)

Today I had my first app preview. It went really well, although not all the functionalities worked as expected, the product owner was very pleased!

Perfect start of this week!

Fucking hate working with dotnet. Just spent half an hour fixing the most fucked up bug.

So I installed a nuget package on my computer, tested everything, it worked, and pushed. My classmates then pulled it to their pc, and holy hell broke loose.

Everything was red, it couldn't even import System! By a turn of luck, I looked in the .csproj file, and saw that it had made an absolute path to the nuget package on my computer. Well no fucking wonder it only worked on mine then!

And here's the weird thing: it only did it now, it hasn't done it with the other packages we've imported

merged a complicated pipeline script based on 3 other scripts, and it worked the first time I run it.
Pretty sure There was a Disturbance in Force...

That moment when it's 4am and you dont get the reason why it worked 3 days ago and now it doesnt I MADE NO CHANGES WTFF DJSLSMNEKSMS

That moment when you worked with bug 2 days and now it's a feature! I need to drink more coffee because it helps - Ready to do more!

I called it TextPaste, or was it VidPaste 🤔. Anyways, it was an attempt to promote my laziness in copying code from YouTube videos or images by using text recognition. I called my coding style "Lazy Art," 😂. It was completed....sorta. I mean, it worked sometimes....

No better way to start a work day than ubuntu randomly deciding that it can't connect to a wired connetion that worked yesterday and works perfectly on windows....

I tried "sudo, honey could you pass me a beer"...

It worked !

Final update!

It is now 7:50 PM and I'm finally done. I did procrastinate a bunch throughout the day but it worked out in the end!

But seriously, I should stop being this lazy...

I had to build a CMS in less then 6 weeks. It sucked, but it worked

Had one of those unicorn coding moments where my from-scratch code worked the first time I wrote and tested it. That hasn’t happened in a long time.

"you've worked with nagios before haven't you? Can you give a presentation on it" 'sure' in the meeting: so tell us about opennms

Spent the whole day trying too get react-native working on windows. It felt like i was teaching a dinosaur to fly a drone. SMH 4 windows!!! :(

It worked!

I hear a lot of advice saying to never take a counter offer when leaving a company. Does anyone have an experience where it has worked out?

When you've worked on a project for a whole week, and finaly verify it against the hardware and everything works!

"I don't know what I did but it worked" - a thrilling story about my programming career.

Have you worked with GraphQL? Saw it for the first time and it looks like a pretty good tool for working with APIs, to me. I am excited to read your opinions about GraphQL.

Sometimes I think that my computer is possessed.

The story goes like this (typical): adding a new feature creates a bug with something that worked perfectly until now. I find and solve the bug in a few minutes. Now the spooky part: with that sort of bug, even the code that worked up to now shouldn't have worked. But it did. Does someone knows a good Ghostbusters service?

Runs linter
168 files changed
"Yeh not gonna commit that because other will think I worked on it and send questions my way, I rather live in peace"

Today I finally solved a docker problem I was stuck with for 2 days.
For some reason it didnt want to download the needed images although colleagues could download the same images. Every time I tried it resulted in a Python IO error.
Today I had enough of it so asked if I could join another project. I had to download the exact same image for that project and it worked... Setting up the first project worked as well since I had these images already.

I still dont know why it didnt and later did work, but that is the life of devs.

I worked all day on a CodeIgniter2 project.

That... kind of says it all.

I just don't know what to say to a new employer anymore. I'm almost 40 years old and have not worked a day VOLUNTARILY in my life. I strictly do it because I must. To prolong a life I never asked for. Yesterday someone at worked joked I must be
weary of life. Yeah. I openly admitted that I am.

Taking required compliance training on preventing bribery and money laundering...

Six hours of heavy debugging to find out that someone put a fucking coma instead of a fucking semicolon somewhere in the middle of a Google Analytics query.

And accidentally I found 3 other "small" bugs. Reports from the last 8 months are useless.

Why this always happen on fridays?

Here is one Euro for you I earned by drinking :) Who come first...
Just tell me if it worked

Did you know you can fix touchscreen dead zones with an electric lighter?! 😮

I just did it and my mind is still blown that it actually worked. So much that I had to post it.

What I can't stand is when someone "name drops" a company they previously worked at. Such as, "...back when I worked at <insert Xxxsoft>" or "At <so and so place> we did things differently..."

We get it, your résumé is impressive. But it especially peeves me when they've been working at their current job for over a year and still mentions their old jobs.

1. I also worked at <XXXX-place> and it wasn't all that impressive.
2. If it was SO great, why aren't YOU still working there?

const obj = {
a:5,
b:25
}

const {...Object.keys(obj)} = obj;
console.log(a);

It would have been cool if that worked 😅

Working on a bug that in my opinion never worked. “Sr. Dev” dares to say the function has worked before. I’m a 100% sure it never did.
“Yes but everything is being tested before we go live.”

Dude, we have a monkey testing our stuff are you serious!?

Everyones like "python is pseudocode" but honestly i dont see it, after sql, python is the least intuitive syntax i ever worked with, and i frequently use haskell so

Trying to create an html parser for terminal devrant, and it's really hard. Made a working xml parser for now. It actually worked!

We have all run the same code although it didn't work the first time. And it never worked the second.😂😂

When it worked before the lunch meeting and now its fscked but it's a nice Friday afternoon

Just worked for 5 hours on a project... i hope i don't fuck it up

Network (people not infrastructure)
My first programming job was because of someone I knew in college worked there. Strangely he also got me my fourth programming job.

My fifth job was a recruiter. First time that ever worked. But it does work.

The biggest thing to remember that in an interview you are selling yourself. So you need to understand a little of sales and marketing.

Backbone.js

Not necessarily the worst technology asit worked quite nice for the project, but rather the worst reason I have ever heard for choosing a technology: "it was popular that day" :)

please lord make it happen give me strength i worked so hard...

I wanted to automate the install of a toolchain which had just a manual install script. Piped `yes` into the installer and it worked just fine. Only downside, it always installs to 'y' 😅

Worked with Linux for a few years, now I need to write something for Windows so I installed and got to it.

God the pathing hurts my eyes.

For those who worked with Firebase database..
is it safe (and possible) to make everyone can read/write data without being authenticated, and restrict deleting data to the authenticated users?

Thanks

Has anyone here worked on news scraping?

I am currently doing my academic project where I need to scrap the news headlines. I have built scrappers for some news sources using their native API. I also tried using newsapi.org, but it returns only 10 results.

If anyone have worked on similar projects or know of their existence, some advice would be highly appreciated.

today i almost had my first intentional 'fuck it, i declare this bug a feature'-moment. then it suddenly worked. i don't know whether to be happy for it to work or to be annoyed not knowing what the hell happened.

Well, apples terrible keyboard is back after a short hiatus. It worked almost flawlessly for ONE update, but it's now back to its terrible illogical awful nonsense.
