Thanks, dear colleagues!

On my way to my first job interview ever! Applying for a Linux Support Engineer position.
Let's nail this 😎24 -
Left my first comment after lurking for months and @dfox himself was the first liker. Better way to start the morning? 😅

don't think I'd be allowed this at work, but at home, its an amazing way to release my programming frustrations!

Out at my partner's 21st, going to pop the question as soon as a couple people leave and I can feel my heart trying to make its way out of my ass...
Wish me luck devs!24 -

Acceptable places to leave your bag when you get in, in the morning:
- Under your desk
- On your desk
- Infront of your locker
- On the back of your chair
- etc.
Unacceptable, is to throw your bag behind you and to the right, so it ends up in the middle of the floor and behind my chair.
Consistent use of this space, and me tripping over it will result in 2 things:
1. I will intentionally run over your bag, back and forth until I am satisfied everything is broken.
2. I will then pickup said bag and throw it, with force, at your head.4 -
I'm currently programming on the cms REST api for the privacy site (its finally getting somewhere by the way) and I just noticed that I'm programming way cleaner and WITH comments.
My subconcious is probably keeping the fact that the entirety of devRant will see my code in a not too far future 😅20 -
Lol just found the world of Warcraft soundtrack at spotify...
On my way to work, feeling like walking through the gates of Stormwind...
Where my nerds at?! (Huh)?26 -
My first self written framework 😅
Damn that was a pile of ****, I still write my own stuff (frameworks etc) but I've learned a lot and those are way better compared to that first one.
Everything was static, loads of defines (way too fucking many) and so on.
Dus.....6 -
This made my day so much! (The stickers quality is awesome by the way, much better than I expected)

Coding changed the way I think, made me more confident about my decisions, and ruined my conversation topics.2

My biggest hurdle was finding a way to go from my old 1400*900 screens to 1080p
Needles to say i finally was able to upgrade after years

A comment on my last rant reminded me about this.. one of the most hilarious trends/pranks/scams.. the number of people who fell victim to this is quite more than what I thought it would be..
3 -
Okay so if you click on my profile and scroll down (all the way to the end) my first post on devRant was about me making a website for my best friend and ask her out that way. An update on that... we got married :3
And this was the second post about it https://devrant.com/rants/704942/...7 -

Slowest triage ever and they doubted me every step of the way.3 -
I keep a little box with decks of cards in it on my desk. Shuffling is a good way to keep my hands busy while thinking and solitaire with actual cards is a great way to unpick the knots in my head.

!rant I think I may have a way smaller head than the pattern I was using seemed to assume. 😅
(Or my stitches got messed up along the way. Either is possible.)

Was venting to my sister about the BS I'm dealing with one of my projects at work. Specifically the convoluted way we're building a prototype and the way all the revision requests are just going in circles.
Sister: Your job sounds annoying.
Me: Only when other people get involved.
Truer words have never been spoken.5 -
I'm on my way to work and I forgot my headphones at home. It's horrible. I can hear people talk and stuff.

Yuck, there's no keyboards shortcut for that. Now I have to move my hand all the way to my mouse and back again. Double yuck1

Enjoying my new dev environment already.
This is a real install alongside my existing windows install. Surprisingly enough, windows has in no way complained about Arch!

I like coding in a way that anyonr who comes into my code base can understand whats going on. That way more people can maintain the code base.
However, I HATE having people in my code base. Since they leave shit undocumented, and have 10 variables called "data" "items" "o" "p" and another 20 methods called "processData" "convertItem".1 -
Today I told my crush that I love her. She said no, but in the nicest way possible. She's so cute 😍20

My oldies, they take me back. It's actually amazing I got my hands on a prototype for an LG phone from way back. It was never released to public. Android is in my roots...

There's a classic joke about how programmers check both ways on a one way street because users are so stupid.
Well I took a walk on my break and literally 30 seconds from the door to my building someone was going the wrong way on a one way street.
Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art?7 -

Developer: we are going o have to do it this way because it's the only way I can get it to work.
Other developer: what are you on about that's a easy thing to do you should not be doing it that way you idiot are you thick or something! do it this way the correct blah blah way, "let me show you moron (says out loud to everyone in the office) to show how superior and awesome they are"......
Two hours later, "yes we will have to do it your way in the end, my way doesn't work"
I fucking told you that 2 hours ago. Some people just don't believe lol #timewasted1 -
Finally found a quite reliable way of generating mbtiles 'archives' for tile hosting!
Now I yet have to find a reliable way to fucking actually HOST it and a way to get it fucking displayed.
Spend my entire goddamn day on this and I'm hardly a step closer, for fucks sake.2 -
Coding has impacted my life as a way to quiet and focus my mind.
(Also, as another positive side effect I learnt a great deal about frustration and anger management along the way. :D)1 -

My biggest regret is underestimating what my school's server would log and what my teachers could see me do.
SSH is just way to powerful...4 -
So I got some new methods to call, when I tried to call them the usual way, it didn't work quite well.
Surprised, I asked the coder of them.
"Yeah, we're using the new way, you don't mind ?"
nah, no problem, I'm starting to develop my skill in divination and mind reading, that was just my usual training.1 -
I used jQuery to solve an issue today because I was too lazy to restructure the way my site was rendered by my framework :(3

Too many broken promises then I don't care anymore.
Javascript has ruined humanity. Catch me on my way out. -
My biggest challenge was trying to convince my old boss why things need to be done the way I'm saying and not the way he wants (of course, arch wise and not business wise)
After giving up, I ended up going back to collage, studying Masters in Business Administration just to know how managers think, took me two years, and now I'm in my final semester, even though I left my old job, I am now able to handle things in a better way in my current one regardless if I was arguing with general manager, or project manager, luckily clients are not allowed anywhere near me ... -
Today I learnt that I'm much more productive if I get a constant loop of feedback on my tickets and stuff. Feels better that way.
Edit: I'm working with a new coworker from QA and she's more responsive than the others. I get my feedback fast and timely and this makes it way easier to work7 -

!rant, story
Wonder if I’m alone on this:
I have habits.
Always use the same cup, with very same amount of coffee grounds. Same four presses with the same fingers on the coffee machine.
Same way I place the cups in my desk. Same way I carry my notebook, same way I dry my hands. Same exact spot I place my card on the rfid reader. Use same elevator, same locker. God.
You name it, I do it on my own particular way.
Thing is, that I think about it. I do it consciously. I am just happier if things stay the way they are. It not just muscle memory thing.
Not judging here, just wonder if there’s people who can relate as much 🧐7 -
I just spent way way too long trying to get my Bootstrap navbar to not be a giant ugly grey block.
And somehow I've set my website to shrink on mobile devices, so all that fussing over a hamburger menu... bloody pointless.

Dumbass tier 2 support staff told me i didn't know what i was doing and i had to do it his way while my way is pretty much the standard -

The only way I can edit Puppet config files is by git. And the only way I can git pull/push/commit/etc is generating a ssh key with a private key and give my public key to my supervisor to the git server (wherever that may be).
Because I'm on Windows 10 and screwed up my installers, I completely forgot to backup my ssh keys before resetting it. FML2 -

Nothing more to say except all other courses have way way better grades than my course.
So my teach's got two courses and both of them massively fucked up, course average (both) 4.5-5.6 (d- - f).
All other courses are just Soo way better that I just can't believe that fault is only on the student side here.
And to top it off, this scenario is not new at all.
Had the same shit with our courses failing unlike the others anothet time too.
FUCK YOU FR. NIELEN4 -

I fix a problem, someone slightly higher up ( but not my boss ) sees me doing it and decides he needs to show me a better way and scold me on my way. I'm left saying to myself, but my way required less effort and I had FINISHED FIXING IT BEFORE YOU GOT YOUR HANDS ON IT1
