Our Web Technology professor taught us this in the year 2016, he said and I quote,
"HTML frames are the latest technologies in the www and are supported by new generation browsers only, for example Netscape navigator."14 -
I accidently left log.debug("bollocks") ;
In an exception handler our customers log monitoring system picked it up and they questioned why and I quote here "why is there a spike in bollocks at 3am?"
That was an awkward conference call2 -
Saw this quote in a local newspaper. The guy is against buying laptops for school kids which I also am against but he makes the wrong argument. 25 years ago my school had computer rooms where we learnt how to code and although I don't use that language now it is still the same concepts as any modern language.

"Think of C as sort of a plain-spoken grandfather who grew up trapping beavers and served in several wars but can still do 50 pullups." -

Heard a fun quote from a project manager today:
"Naaah we don't need tests, that project is so small it wouldn't be worth it"
Seconds later: "Why does this keep breaking all the time and we only notice it once deployed?"8 -

I shall refer to the client as cunt for the purposes of this rant. All design work signed off. Near completion of project, cunt sends an email moving stuff around and changing the design. I send the cunt an email telling him that I will review his requests and send a quote through detailing cost implications and extra time added to his deadline to complete. Cunt says he wasn't aware there would be extra costs. I refer the cunt back to the quote and contract which clearly distinguishes the design phase and build phase explaining change control. Not heard back from said cunt.7

Every fucking day in my company, we get an email from the HR titled "Good Morning, have a nice <DAY_OF_WEEK>", and the message contains a low quality shitty picture grabbed from a random Google search containing a equally shitty quote.

lmao like am I suppose to wait till Friday to finish my 'goals of the week'?

"Maybe the internet has an error”
Quote from my GF after booking tickets online failed, and on some level I feel like this is a very profound, relevant statement..2 -
Wk103 got to be the best weekly rant, it’s like everybody sharing a good quote about programming, and it’s useful
-
Found a post by G.R. on Linkedln:
"A lazy programmer is also often a good programmer:
- Writes little code to achieve the goal
- Automates all boring jobs
- He does not develop things he does not know yet
- Sleeps at night, then make sure that if the shutdown occurs, the system will restart
- He knows he forgets things, then writes readable and not cryptic code
- Try to reuse what he did
- He does not like copy-paste (too boring to keep)
It takes training to be lazy"
Love this quote11 -
So it turns out that the company I work for uses and develops for Linux just because, I quote, "IT'S IMMUNE TO VIRUSES!!!".
Even if our systems are not connected to the internet (and never will be) and protected by armed guards.
I am stunned.5 -
Let us pay homage to a classic quote that is so applicable it hurts:
"Poor planning on your part does not necessitate an emergency on mine."2 -
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. " After a day like today, I thought my self-esteem would need this quote.6

When you find a tool / service online, go to the pricing page and it has a "get a quote now" button.

@trogus @dfox
Can we have support for
```
snipets
```
Doesn't even need syntax highlight, just the <pre> behavior.
In support of my request, I know this isn't code sharing but we still quote code and commands alot.
It would be a nice differentiation.12 -

Too many "web savvy" clients these days. 9 times out of 10 they get hosting accounts which i have to reconfigure. My quote was for coding not sys admin. Do me a favour and dont do me any favours.3

Just read this in a blog post by Jon Arundel, I think he's spot on:
"Programmers are incurable optimists: we always think our code will work, despite much evidence to the contrary."7 -
I feel all of us here could use this brilliant quote by Douglas Adams.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.1 -
So, you ask me for a quote. You know nothing about the technology or the problem, but you think the quote is too high.
On what fucking basis are you assessing the quote? On the number of words? Font? Whether your spouse/cat hates you (both do). Basically, whatever I said, you'd have said it was too high, right?
Fuckwit.
Next time *you* tell *me* how much you have to spend and I'll tell you what you can get for your budget.
Maybe a coffee and a small cake.
Don't fucking call me again.2 -

"Find a job you like, and you will never have to work a day in your life." -
Kevin, we use the v2 of the Java AWS SDK. Stop dragging in your crappy v1 dependencies, in many cases *duplicating* the bloody v2 dependencies anyway, because, I quote:
"Stackoverflow and AWS don't seem to have many examples using the v2 SDK though"
Use your bloody brain and figure it out, Kevin.2 -
Me : so here is your quote for the app
Client : oh yer and it needs to work in both android and iOS, that's not a big deal right?
Me : of course not, however I am going to have to add a little something to your quote!
I don't get how when I ask a client if I got everything right so I can draft up a quote, they don't think to mention stuff like other features they had an idea for or cross platforms they wanted but didn't say in the original proposal -_-3 -

Life is like code,
Your loved ones are your IDE,
You can be good with code without an IDE,
but it makes things much more smoother when you have one :D
Life quote :) -
Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.
(Might do a variation with “punched in the mouth”, since I realize both versions of the quote exist)

At one of my former jobs, we devs had to do all sorts of non-dev work, such as writing quotes and even contracts!
The CEO of that company had this naughty habit to contact devs directly without delegating through the CIO. Sure, if it's really urgent like when some system is down because of a bug, go ahead and disturb a dev. But interrupting coders to write some freaking quote? Come on!...
Once, that CEO asked me to stop everything I was doing to write a quote to a customer ASAP, as this was really urgent.
I spent several hours writing that quote. It had to be done right as any specifications in our quotes were used in our agreeements and were referred to in the case of any dispute. So not only were we devs and salesmen in the same time; we also needed to be lawyers.
When I was done and delivered the quote to the CEO, he told me he had no intention to take on that customer in the first place. Instead, he wrote a polite we-are-not-interested e-mail to the customer and cc:d it to me just so that I could read for myself how very sleek a businessman he was.
Me: why did I have to write that quote when you knew all along that you were not going to use it anyway?
Him: It's for your own personal development.
Another naughty habit of that same CEO is that he made "jokes" and remarks that I found inappropriate, such as "You walk like a drunken sailor".
Later, he decided to discontinue our team/product because "it isn't proftable". Well, what do you expect when devs are forced to waste half day completing pointless tasks?!
It was for the better anyway, and I was actually relieved when I left the company. I'm still thinking though, that the real reason he sacked me is that I am too honest and not the docile kind of employee that would be ideal for him. I did question some of my tasks, and worst of all: I didn't laugh at his stupid jokes.1 -
The dev.to code of conduct is irritating.

...what?12 -
Client: we want X.
Dev: Quote for X.
Client: We only want to pay x.
Dev: Requote for x.
Client: approved x.
Dev: Deliver x.
Client: where is X we asked for X.
... perspective of project scope matters.1 -

Nothing against managers, but this rings so true!

Being sick absolutely deleted what bullshit I can tolerate
- Searching through feed of jobs
- See 999$ Job with description "*platform* forced me to put a budget, but it's not fixed, tell me your quote and what's fair"

- Get a message, write and then get the budget "I got offered 10$, 40$, .. if you can do it for 75$ it's a deal!"

A friend of mine who just started work as an Applications Developer. One of his duties is to I quote "Create and maintain inventory, which may include hardware, software and various items such as toners and peripheral equipment"
We had a good laugh together.4 -
Watching the Social Dilemma. Interesting quote.
Anyone else seen it? or addicted to social media?
I'm wondering maybe because we're all tech... we sort of develop a natural immunity? or is it just me that has all social media apps' notifs turned off?
And rarely use social media... except devRant.

My new favourite quote...
"I can't be the only one worried about the deadline"
By boss speakign ot my team who is expected to deliver 6-8 months worth of work in 5 weeks time...
Too bad he does not know he IS the only one worried, when you going to miss a deadline by that much when you never agreed to it in the first place, have not seen a single API and the scope is still actively changing and lets not forget we have no DevOps yet...
why the fuck would you worry...1 -
Still have work to do on this one, but just in case I f*** up the shading, here’s the work in progress. Took me literally five attempts to get the whole quote done. Kept running out of space or writing the wrong word. *shakes fist*

Big win today. Set up a custom motion capture pipeline for Unity using my Vive/controllers today. Quote a bit of scripting but I went from nothing to complete animation reel for our character model in a single day.
Successful day for once. I can sleep well tonight.2 -
If you host a forum for dev discussions, make sure that, even in code blocks, every single or double quote will be replaced by quirky typographic quote characters that resemble their ASCII equivalents so closely that cut-and-paste programming will be punished by hours of searching the error in the wrong place.4

Guy: A social network with some very special features that nobody else has.
Me: Okay. Let's discuss these features so I can write you a quote.
Guy: I can't talk about that until I know how much an app costs.
Commence an impasse over whether I can quote something without knowing the features. And yes, I tried explaining he should get a NDA. And no, a NDA wasn't good enough; I need to quote it without any knowledge of the features.1 -
So....
I was just told why the company's code has no documentation...
Quote: "It enforces devs to write simpler/better code"
Oh and added bonus - the whole backend is PHP with a bunch of tweaked libraries.

Client: "We need a quote for a website build."
Me: "OK. What kind of website?"
Client: "We are working on a brief now, but we need a cost ASAP."
Me: "Alright. It should cost between $X and $Y. Dependent on the brief."
Client: "We can't go back with a range. We need a set price."
Me: "Well, give me a solid Functional Specification, and I'll give you a price based on that."
Client gave me a Func Spec. I gave them a price. Then they gave me change after change after change...
But they refused to pay more than the initial fixed price. By the end of it, I would have been better off working at McDonalds.4 -

Just found this on Reddit
"I used to think that everybody should learn programming. When I first started learning –thinking about how to organize the world in terms of data structures and algorithms– I thought, "Wow, this is such an amazing way to organize information. Everybody should learn to do this!"
I don't think that anymore.
I think there has to be something seriously wrong with you in order to do this work. A normal person, once they’ve looked into the abyss, will say, “I’m done. This is stupid. I’m going to do something else.” But not us, ‘cause there’s something really wrong with us."

I upgraded eclipse with devStyle. The next time I started eclipse a quote showed up. I'll post it here 'cause I think it's totally true:
"Experience is the name everyone gives their mistakes".
It's so freakin' on point...1 -
can anyone guess who said the following?
"Titanium allows us to launch new features really quickly and have an immediate impact. For example, we added an avatar builder with millions of configuration options, yet it only required a few lines of code to be different between iOS and Android."7 -
To quote Terry Pratchett in Small Gods: "It's indoor work with no heavy lifting. Do you really want to be a ploughman like your father?"

"I like being right so much that, when I’m proven wrong, I change my mind."
Such a great quote! Found it in the comment section of a youtube short :)1 -
Teams
- start a message with a quote
- type '> ' for the quote field to appear
- type in your quote
- hit ENTER to escape the quote block and write the rest of the comment
- Teams starts a new quote block below the previous one. With every ENTER.
- Teams: "Gotcha, motherklucker! There's no escape now!"
And they say VIM is a trap...10 -
My CS exam today had a case study question that, and i quote, talked about "Chernobyl in japan switching to manual monitoring due to the wannacry virus" xD wtf. Im fucking done xD
-
Does anyone else get annoyed when your outside of a editor and you press the apostrophe/quote or parenthesis key only to outputs a single character and not a pair?
Drives me insane1 -
I hate quotes/estimates so damn much
Quote too high and we don't win the work
Quote too low and I screw myself/other devs over
And then there's the fact that most initial quotes for an entire project are based off nothing but a few marketing slides from the potential client; we do re-estimate after winning the work and nailing down what the client actually wants, but obviously it can't be too far from the initial quote
And then there are other people on the company (not devs, obviously) who like to casually expand the scope without checking how much time it'll add4 -
Life quote : Your Karma is directly proportional to the Number of bugs you get, when you are on call.
:D -
Famous quote time! I forget who said it, and the number varies a bit from one retelling to the next, but one that has always stuck in my mind since I heard it is the following:
“I’d fire any programmer who spends more than [10 | 25]% of his time coding.”
I’ve always taken this as an admonition to spend time charting out solutions before building, instead of churning out stream of consciousness spaghetti code, personally.
Any thoughts from the broader community on the topic?2 -
"You can never understand everything, but you can push yourself to understand the system"
If I hear this stupid quote one more time I will scream.
Node.js is a piece of shit and thanks to Ryan Dahl, we now have to deal with ugly JS not only on the frontend, but also the backend.2 -
Quote of the day:
Some are born developers, some become developers and other have development thrust upon themselves!1 -

I've been told by the client today to turn their application's barebones support messaging into, and quote "WhatsApp".

Suit on, tie on, first meeting on a web project I quoted on 16 months ago (and won). frantically wading through notes and quote from the time. Think i’ll just wing it and up the price a bit.

idk why, but why focus so much on internal stuff that never will be public...this is also my favorite quote

Deadass, best quote said by my PM in our sprint planning meeting:

I know it would be against devRant's simple UI and mechanism, but I'd love a Quote/Jump To Quote feature.1

I hate quotes.
Just handed out a quote. Had to look through the project, guesstimate everything. Hard to do anyway accurately. Write bunch of stuff up. Easily took me in the end around 4 hours.
4 hours just to have someone tell me, I am too expensive. I mean, at this part it is a gamble. The other side accepts my quote or denies it. But, if they deny it, I worked for free. And that's bugs me.
But hey, next company, guess what, the hourly rate, there is the quote for the last company hidden inside and for all other companies who rejected my offer divided by all the companies who hired me. You're not only paying my fee, but for all quotes that got denied. Surprise!
Anyway, it is sent off. Now, the waiting begins. Time to find some work to fill the waiting.3 -
I wish it was :

Not so much a rant or a dev thing. What is the quote that drives you?
For me it is: "Those who don't have discipline, don't deserve to dream" -unknown3 -
Quote of the day:
"U think that's scary you should see the shelve sets belonging to the team lead,

Every religion's idea of heII paIes in comparison to what one man can do to another man. “If there is a God, He will have to beg for my forgiveness.” This is a quote etched on the wall, inside one of the Mauthausen concentration camp cells.5

Quote from one of the seniors here:
"Build as simply as possible, in case other people don't know what they're doing"
So, instead of using all tools available (I'm trying to introduce using AspectJ), we should build for the least knowledgeable developer and not teach them anything new.11 -
Saw this quote and I felt like maybe it is not just me that needs to see this today :)

So, what kind of clothes do you normally wear on a workday?
I just wear a t-shirt with some dev-inspired quote, some loose jeans (and undies) and some hiking shoes.
Once I have arrived at work, I take off my shoes and put on flipflops2 -
'Complicated is easy, but simple is hard☝️ '

Client knows a few technical terms, they put them in a document or slap them on some diagram then asks for a quote - the frustration.

Just a random quote I found today.
I am not what I think I am.
I am not what you think I am.
I am what I think you think I am.5 -
"The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents." - Nathaniel Borenstein
Still wished I had opened my master thesis with this quote 😁 -
I read a quote once, and I can't recall neither the exact words nor the author. Can anyone help?
The quote was something like this:
"A website is like a garden. You aren't done once you've planted. You need to maintain it continuously." -
Did u know that its true?
Here is my favourite quote:
Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. - Alan Kay -
A client once asked us to quote rewriting one of their back office applications. He later came back and told us our rates were too high. He was going to look for someone one cheaper but wanted us to manage the development since he valued our opinion.

I fucking hate with all the strength in my body this meme format:
nobody:
someone: wacky unpredictible quote
fuck that bitch ass, lazy, unfunny, uncreative format. It fucking sucks dick. It's not funny!
Jesus fucking christ, it was funny the first month.
But month after month after month, this fucking thing won't die. It's way way below the average meme format, and that's saying a lot considering what the average is.
I check youtube comments and for every funny and thoughtful comment there's one from these fucking idiots that shouldn't be alive parrotting this unfunny shit.
Just include the goddamn fucking quote, that's it.
Even less points to the motherfuckers that write:
nobody
not one on person on earth
not even a single person on the universe
person: <quote>
those deserve the worst type of cancers or torture forms described in wikipedia.
This is a stuxnet level post, I need to get a life.4 -

So I just got an email from Github, saying they created a new package for Atom called Teletype.
I quote: "Teletype (beta) for Atom lets developers share their workspace with team members and collaborate on code in real time."
Wondering what the devRant community thinks about this new feature!

Fuck auto insurance
Why is it that every time I need to get a quote online from an insurance company, despite having seemingly well designed websites they all fucking crash!
Half way through the “next” button will stop working for seemingly no reason and I won’t be able to continue with the quote.
Is it just a ploy to get me to call? WTF! -
Every time the sales person wants a quote, they send me the proposal, I read the first line and think, "What the fuck does this even mean?"
