Dear StackOverflow-Team,
How can I be productive, if you show me those kind of "Hot network questions"?

Late nights are the most productive #programming_fact

"let's be all productive tonight!"

Who was I kidding, a night of sleeping longer than 5 hours is all I want right now.

Good night, devRant.

"Today was a productive day" lied the developer.

Let none say it wasn't a productive day.

The time has come
I need to use this app to be productive again

I coded for 9 hours straight. Super productive day with Java Spring Framework. 😁😊

Me: (during vacation) sleeping all time, doing nothing productive.

Huh! my sad story !

Here's a favorite of mine. Managers need to be in meetings to be productive. Developers need to stay far away from meetings to be productive. Managers love to drag developers into meetings and then wonder why their productivity is down.

So productive.

Happy new year fellow coders, developers, may your next deadline be reasonable. Have a productive night with less bugs and more coffee!

I'm alone in the office today and already done a lot of work. How can I be so much more productive when nobody is around.

Finally bought a smart watch! I can now be even less productive! (petition to make devRant smartwatch compatible) 😂

The louder you type, the more productive you look.

The toughest thing is to explain your parents that you are doing something productive when you are sitting in front of your computer for whole day.

- be the laziest person in the team and everyone sees you as a bottleneck.

- be the senior + the laziest person in the team and you can complain about others being a bottleneck and dump your tasks on the most productive member.

The most productive meeting is the meeting that has been cancelled.

My Saturday evening went regretting about not doing anything productive today.

Yesterday I got stoned as never before with a few friends of mine. I don't remember everything, but appearantly I coded a neural network using synaptic.js that teaches itself addition. That's impressive because it's my first NN ever.

Also, my friends are pissed now, because I was on my laptop the whole time doing "some advanced IT stuff".

There's no easier way to make a developer want to be productive than to stick him or her into business meetings.

The most productive time of your day is when you have a BSOD

My rubber duck does not let me move my hand away from the keyboard. Very productive :-)

Got a notification from devRant. Saw that my post got 30++, Paused music and stopped opening my js files on my project, wrote a quick email to stickers@devrant.io, and then ended up browsing for so long I do not even know/ realize what time it is now, and certainly not what the time was when I started.

Most productive morning in months.. realized both my email client and slack were closed

Do you feel sometimes the SCRUM ceremonies can be counter productive.

Why do I feel this way. I lost motivation for programming and I spend atleast 4 hours a day playing games.

guide to programing success
step 1: check if you are being productive.
if the answer is false have some coffee
if it is true have some coffee
step 2: repeat

That awkward feeling of not working because you don't feel productive because you are not working because you...

Do you feel more productive in casual or formal wear?

I was telling MisterArie how to get into the productive mode and this analogy pop in my mind.

Getting into a productive mode is pretty much the same as having intercourse.

You just have to successfully start the first push and the rest will eventually follow along smoothly.

// Disclaimer : this analogy is from male perspective only since I'm one.

I love when everybody in a team get along well with each other. Makes us so productive!!

I swear to god, if I read another medium post on how you managed to be focused and productive I will fucking... well... roll my eyes, make a facepalm and rant about it on devRant!

Who gives a shit if I'm unproductive and unfocused?!

Well, look at me now, I'm fucking productive while I write about you, you fucking peace off shit! And guess what? I'm not even using any of your 40 todo apps or time trackers. There is no pomodoro timer next to me or framed quotes from Steve Jobs hanging on the wall. Oh, I must be a fucking genius!

But what if YOU became unproductive?
What will happen when YOU start to procrastinate?

Do you really think the world would care?

Oh, but you are not really a writer are you? you're a developer building your app!?
Well fuck, I guess you're going to change the world than?
It's your big project. Your life's work, your legacy.

Let me remind you...

All apps will be abandoned!
All blog post will be forgotten!
Productive people will die!
Focused people will die!
Enthusiastic bloggers writing about productivity will die!
All CEOs and CTOs will die!
All developers will die!
Steve Jobs is dead!
In x years, you and I will also be dead!

Whatever you do, it's not really that important!
It's really not.

You're not going to change the world.
The world doesn't need another app.
The world doesn't need your advice on how to be productive.
You are not special.

Deal with it!

How I work:

I drink lots of coffee and pass out for 12 hours.

It’s like alcoholism, just less productive.

"You're a programmer, dammit!" Damian Conway

I'm at a seminar given by Conway right now, so much stuff I wish I had heard before about how to be more productive and how to stay "in the zone" while programming without distractions. If any of you ever gets a chance of following one of his seminars (he also wrote books), it's highly recommended.

No such thing as a productive meeting.

So instead of being productive today. I got bored and did this.

Ladies and gents, it was a 🍺 day, today.

I spent more hours than I care to say today tracking down an issue in our web workflow, even looping in our only web dev to help me debug it from his side. There ended up being multiple bugs found, but the most annoying of them was that the json data being pulled back was truncated because a certain someone, in their migration script, set their varchar variable to a size of 1000 and then proceeded to store a json string that was 2800+ characters in length.

C'mon man!

I got nothing productive done today. Hate, hate, hate days like this!

Beer me.

Finished downloading lots of tutorial videos. Now time to watch all of this. This is like Netflix for me. I don't watch much Netflix instead I watch lots of tutorial videos and practice them. Skills development rather than Netflix and chill. 😀

Companies new policy.

Deadline is looming, we need to work super hard and be super productive so we will set 3 meeting each day to check on how productive you have been in the last 2 hours...

I wish I could bring my setup at work. I'm way less productive at work than I am at home.

Whenever i want to chill out, play games and movies the computer is very supportive
"Here ya go fella ooo 20 chrome tabs on a conspiracy? Sure why not" but i swear to god the moment i want to be productive,

"What's that? Android studio? Why don't i triple the normal loading time, freeze for 1absolutely no reason ooo u wanna run emulator with that? Lol okay sweetie good luck"
or or
"Sir do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, the WINDOWS UPDATE? Oh no you can't shut the door your house is practically OURS"

Guys i feel my computer is sentient. It doesn't want me getting too smart for ..reasons? Does anyone else feel the same way about their machine? I hope its not too late to start a revolution yet

when you can't find a folder to out dev rants in ....

I want to be productive, stop giving me this hunger and sleepy debuff.

Douche body, totally killing my flow

1. I can be both lazy, and productive
2. I will always have something new to learn, always.
3. It is fun.

Why would I strive to be productive if 90% of my work consists of me waiting for approvals, access, credentials, attending meetings about meetings?

Thinking about working from home tomorrow so I could actually watch the WWDC instead of "not being productive"...

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 work

man, SCRUM is a FUCKING chord, sometimes. Isn’t it supposed to make us productive and not hog time and resources?

I thought other people were weak for having to rely on coffee to be productive. God I was wrong. Now I am the worst caffeine addict in the office.

Guys I need your help about iMac vs PC

So I have finally got some cash in my hand to spare. Enough to buy an iMac 27 inch or a high end PC.

I used to game a lot but I've slowed down eventually to be more productive.

I mostly work on node, c++ and Java.

I used to use a Macbook Pro and I felt it was really productive.

Any thoughts?

devRantron AutoStart on boot, is pure evil......

me (almost) everyday:
Today i want to complete <insert a task here>
9 AM:
*me typing password in sddm (KDE Login)*
*ENTER* the first thing i see is devRantron's window already open and active.

*Ok, let me check recent rants for 2 minutes*

*me watching the clock in the corner* -- it's 10AM oh shit!

When I have to hold CTRL + Z to see what I changed I then imagine myself coding really fast when I then hold CTRL + Y. It makes me feel productive.

My scrum master said, 'I would optimize your work hours.' He's monitoring how much time every one spends on browsing non-productive webs like devRant. How can I fight back? :(

another night spent on discovering how it doesn't work.

I hate when build takes forever to complete and all my enthusiasm drains out.

This weekend everything turned around. Last week I learned to use blender to make basic models while I was traveling to and from work.
Today I was really productive and started working on my VR wooden toy block building game.

I now have an infinite blocks box, with randomly colored blocks which you can color yourself as well.
Gonna do performance and textures tomorrow.

Our project manager took a one week vacation. So it is either going to be a very productive or a very stressful week.

Let this weekend be productive!

Fuck my weekend..waste my time playing moba vainglory which i should be doing something more productive and meaningful..fuck you procrastination..

Today is one of those magnificent days for my code. One of those days where I stumble up on the weirdest bugs and pull a fix out of my hat barely looking at any doc. One of those days where I find out there is a very tricky flaw in our project design and yet I end up finding an elegant solution to circumvent future problems. One of those days where I find the informations I want even though the documentation is the worst I've ever seen.

I love that productive feeling.
