I was newly hired to company. A customer came in yelling saying "there's a bug, this should do this but it's doing that..."
PM came to me and told me to "urgently fix this as this is an important customer".

So I started debugging for hours and asking around and all follow devs agreed that this is a bug. Then I found it!! And it was clear that it was not doing what the customer wanted.

I decided to look through this code history and found out that this part of the code wasn't changed for a year but the code commited before it did actually what the customer was expecting (whaaaa....)

Gathered the devs and the PM showing them what I found. They all looked at each other and then one said "ouuhhh right...yes it was doing this but we changed it to that..."

Turns out it's a feature not a bug, and everyone forgot about it.

I FINALLY DID IT!! I landed a job!! I'm going to be a firmware engineer!! Woohoo!! 😁
It only took half a year, but I finally got one, and purely off my own merit. It feels damn good when you get the job with no references or connections, just your own skills.
After a highly successful on-site technical/whiteboard interview, I was 90% confident I'd get it. The fact that my job search is finally over, is such a fucking relief. Good riddance to endless interview prep, applications & rejections.
I start on Monday. Goodbye freedom >.<

Shittiest rant of the week. Winter isn't the happiest time of the year to begin with, and now you're reminding 40k devs that they have no friends.

!Rant
Won $10,000 in a hackathon today.
Now, time to implement!!

It shows when it's time to rant

wow my rant is in #dailyfeaturedrant for the first time.
😎

Welcome back, hopefully theres soon a rant telling us what has been going on since last time we saw you?

!rant
Almost time for Halloween again 😄

Just became a dad again for the second and third time.

Healthy twin baby girls!!!

The doubletab time is so small, it opens the the rant twice when i try to upvote it. 😐

I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT when people say, "Can you look into it, in your spare time ?"

Why should I spend my spare time looking at company stuff ? Just WHY ? If you want me to look at it, then FUCKING PAY ME FOR IT!!!

!rant
So I just lost my girlfriend she tought she wasn't worth it to me. On the bright side, more time for coding!

I had an old rant somewhere about the most unproductive meeting I’ve had.

It was when I joined a new team. I was asked to hold a meeting to solve the issue of why nothing gets done on time and nobody showed up to the meeting on time including the manager.

So DevRant asked me to put my skills on my profile, I'm like:

you wanna know my languages, well, I'm a human Android sipping on Java, got C++ grade phy-SQL education. but some idiot bashed me on my </head> so swift, that I objectively-c angular stars, everywhere. Recoved by a js injection. ASCII too in snowy Cs

No Rant, just wanted to say devRant is something I have been looking for in a long time, Love it !

Every time you feel anger, instead of explosion you write a new rant and make people smile.

=> devRant is behaviouristic therapy.

Fucking bastard cunting customers I am not starting your shite at two minute to going home time, if you don't like go fuck yourself. #rant over

!rant

God damn, was I living under a rock all this time. Where were you(devrant) all this time?? So glad I came here.

Downloaded this app few days ago and have used this app more than fb, insta or Twitter.

Third time my Macbook failed to Boot up...
It's time to burn it, but wait... lets take backup.

Ironically, this rant is coming from an Apple user.

First time working with 2-D arrays. Think I did good :).

It took me way too long to get this..

I have no time to rant about my works because I wasted it on catching the pokemons

Here attending the I/O Extended 2017 for the first time. This surely is gonna be fun!!! 😄

TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER RANT FIRST!

---

SYNTAX THEME SELECTION

---

In this rant you can set your theme for the syntax highlighter!
Just ++ the comment with your preferred theme.

The bot checks for the "<user> ++'d your comment!" notification and stores your selection!
(When you ++ multiple themes, your theme will be the one you ++'d the last)
Then, next time you request a syntax highlighting (see other rant on how to do that), that theme will be used!

Please don't post any comments here if possible!!!
(You can post comments and ask questions in the other rant)
Feel free to ++ this rant tho ;D

---

Have fun and thank you for using this bot!

Sometimes I +1 rants just because I took the time read it. At least the rant made me read it.

Making a Package Manager from Scratch is hard.

Making a Scratch-like education coding software in XAML is hard.

Setting up a server with zero knowledge is hard.

Creating a new file extension for my project and making it work is hard.

But, as a student,

studying and coding is the hardest thing.

Same 24 hours for everyone, and I should code as well as study.

Time.

The most precious thing in Earth.

NASA dislikes this rant.

When you get a +1 from @dfox and feel like *insert famous person here* took the time to read your rant... 😃

my team mate thinks that function name should be descriptive so you can understand what It will do.
Here are the examples of functions he created:

createArrayOfConsentChangedEventObjectForAConsentForAllDataProcessorsWithoutNameInEvent()

createArrayOfConsentChangedEventObjectForAConsentForAllDataProcessorsWithNameInEvent()

createAndPushConsentChangedEventWithAndWithoutNameForAParticularConsent()

I was supposed to review his code but this names are so annoying that I gave up on reviewing and just passed his code since functionalities were working as expected. -_-

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by long function names?

I just successfully deployed an app (twitter bot) to a remote server for the first time!

Hey guys, I'm Davish. I'm really need to develop rant and really like it, first I came here to get some swags, but as time goes, who cares for stickers when we got some awesome knowledge and rant here

I really hate when someone doesn't take the time to read through there rant and check for spelling/grammar errors. Like come on people it only takes like one minute too read back through you're rant and find al the mistake I dont underatan how this can be so hardd antyone with haf a brain could due it

So I finally registered on this great community to rant about something - now I forgot what to rant about.

Instead have a picture of Ubuntu Mate showing an unrealistic battery time.

about:DevRant

Every time I write a comment or a rant, I edit it a bazillion times. I try to fix up spelling, grammar and wording.

Who else edits their rants and comments too much?

That time when you check devRant in your sleep and have a dream that a rant has over 300 ++'s. Waking up was such a disappointment.

Would people use a feature where they could swipe on a rant they've seen. This way newer stuff could be let through but old stuff wouldn't keep popping up every time you reopen devrant.

!rant

I've been doing wrong these last year, so I decided to step up my game, implementing on my work cycle:

+ Testing
+ CI

It feels fucking great. If you're not doing it, it's time.

What I'm reminded of every time I see a repost

!rant

Reduced a page load time from 23.8 seconds to 0.5 seconds by disabling tracking of entities on the page. Felt awesome.

Hello DevRant! Time for my first rant. As the saying goes: Everyone should put his own house in order first. So why not rant about myself before i rant about others...

Dear past self next time be less an idiot and enter a database into the persistence.xml wich actually exisist so i don't waste a fucking hour or something like that, for looking what's wrong with my JDBC driver....

Learning something new can suck sometimes if you realize that you made a dumb mistake which prevents you from progress.

I just automated the tasks I had for next week. What to do, what to do ^^ This is not really a rant but just me boasting. Time for beer.

!rant

How easy is to get fired from a Dev job? 😛 I'm afraid of that happening every time I introduce a bug lol

Wow i must have been brain dead when i wrote this code. Needed to exclude certain elements from response for the the list of objects.

for (obj : objects) {
If (obj.skipFromResponse()) {
break
}
add obj to response
}

I used break instead of continue at the if condition which meant it would break out of the loop at the first instance of condition being met.

This went through qa and has been in production for 4 weeks so how did this not break before. Well little did i know the list of objects was sorted and all the test data, qa data and everything so far in production coincidentally only had the last element with matching condition. This meant it returned everything correctly so far.

Today was the first time there was a situation where this caused incorrect output. Luckily as soon as I heard the description of the issue I remembered to check the merged PR and hung my head in shame for making such trivial error. I must have written way more complicated code without any problem but this made me embarrassed to even admit. 🤦‍♂️

!rant Finally arrived.
And just in time for my birthday tomorrow. Thanks dfox and trogus for this amazing community. And for the swag! 🎉😀

Not a rant, just a gag I do from time to time. Today a new colleague arrived. He presents himself and after sometime he asks me:
- so how long are you working here?
I look at my watch and say
- oh just about six years now.
They always look so confused 😂

Today I decided sleep earlier and not to code late night , But when I checked time It was 12.20AM. And after that I was just checking rant, It's 1.00 AM now..☺😁

!rant

Told a friend I was just killing time. He said "I feel sorry for time. People have been trying to kill it for years."

First time in my life I can't wait to get home to code. This is exciting! 😊😊😊

I just realized that devrant is the *only* community I can resort to lol. I can't rant to any of my coworkers about work. can't rant to any of my colleagues in college because they are fucking idiots. I tried to help them improve time and time again but they just blatantly refuse and I just gave up and said fuck you guys. can't rant to my family or friends cause they can't understand shit about code.don't know if any other platform that has a community that's as amazing as this one. so I would've been practically alone if it wasn't for devrant. thank you guys for enduring my bullshit over the past year. and thank you for the developers for creating this awesome community. I don't really know what I'm talking about but I guess I had to rant a little. if you've read this far. Thank you.

guess this turned into a rant of it's own. lol. will write the actual rant in another post. XD

!Rant
Just scheduled an interview for a full-time programming position with a company for after my graduation in the fall! Super Stoked!

Falling sick on the weekend after a long week is probably the worst feeling ever.

I missed enjoying with cousins. I missed a 10k run I had signed up for. I missed coding.

Found devRant at the right time I guess - the only silver lining.

Hey devRant!
Built my pc today, so I would be welcomed to both devRant and PC Master Race at the same time 😄

!rant
I have come to realize, after a long time in programming and using libraries, that spending time to read their documentation saves me time in the long run

!rant

I've been lurking here for quite some time now. Decided to create my account today.
I'd love to share a good rant but the last couple of days were the most calm I ever had. Thanks to you guys giving me hope and strength and see others feel the same.

Thanks for the good posts and funny comments.

Well, everytime I build a pc for a friend I'll always end up telling myself "this is the last time". Not bc I have a problem with building pc's, I love it, but its the "free of charge" 24/7 IT-support my non techy (techii?) friends expects from me after the build is done I hate.

So here's the deal.
A week ago I built a brand new pc for a friend, as usual (bc he's a good friend) I told him that my "fee" would be a couple of beers and the train ticket up. So I got there, built the pc and we hooked it up to his monitor. About 5sec in to windows the screen went black. My friend started to panic, and I started to check if all the components and cables were hooked up right (tho I've done this a couple of times, shit can happen) but found nothing was wrong.
I had to take the train home, cause it got late AF and I live in another city, but I told him to try another cable. Felt bad AF for not being able to help him.
Flash forward 2 days, my friend started messaging me late in the evening, complaining about how he had tried everything and ultimately had to leave the pc at an (as he called it) "proffesional" who charged him 100$.
I felt even guiltier about that one, asked him if he tried to change the hdmi, but he said that's in The hands of this guy now.
Two days later this PC God gave him an answer.
Guess What he told him?
CHANGE THE ***** HDMI CABLE.
Well, shit..
Afterwards he wanted help installing drivers over fb-messenger.
I love my friends, but man why do I do this to myself.

Every time I get tons of errors in Rust, I come here to rant, and I'm able to fix the errors the next day. It's starting to become a tradition.

devRant is nice.
If you move rant feed to "Recent" and saw a bunch of rant u already read but you keep scrolling down hoping to see new rant but u fail cause rant policy keep people from posting new rant for 2 hour and not many new rant has been post.
This is a nice feature. It make u self aware that "crap, maybe too much time on devRant". Even if you addict to devRant but by this policy -> It force you to really close its app and checking it on another free time. (more healthy than another social media I guess 😂)

milestone: exited vim for the first time

Worst: Installing Linux first time on machine which has windows already installed.

Best: Installing and using Linux on whatever machine after getting used to it.

I was about to write a rant on saturday, but I thought: the company and the morons hired by the ceo and investors make me rant, so the company should pay that, during my working time.

At my current rate, this 10 minutes monday rant plus some rant reading and commenting, it's about 10$.
Let's the morons pay that.

!rant

I bitch a lot about the complexity of Rust. But every time I do it I go ahead and applaud just how fucking good the compiler messages are.

A fucking thing of beauty.

not a rant

why when I meet someone for the first time and tell him I am a developer his first question is, how can I fix my slow internet connection???

Rant....!!
When you end up wasting more time setting up company built in tools and environments for your application than coding..

not really a rant;
But I am a real fan of sci-fi stuff, and yesterday I tried star citizen for the first time (been backer since 2012).

My laptop just died for the third time.

Need to buy a new one. Not a mac.

Linux machine with 15" screen, sdd, usb c, with 8gb ram and a graphics processor.

Every time I rant here I'm waiting to see if my employer will find them. Yet here I am another day having not been had.

I'll take the small wins

After 4 weeks of no coding i start slowly missing it. especially when i'm reading dev rant 😁

Got some time for myself to upgrading elzdev 2.9 to elzdev 3.0

I can highly recommend you to do something good for yourself and spend some time alone with no work.
I chose Barcelona for one month 😍

And now i can't wait to start work again at the begining of november 😄

I am back to dev rant after longgggggg time....😍
I got a new job and today is my first day...
Hope everything goes well🤞

This is my first rant! I feel this every time I flag each function on my code looking for my mistake and still doesn't work:

!rant !dev

Some devRanters here live in Ireland? Got to say I just tried Guinness for the first time and I love it!

> Click "back" button.

> Feed reloads. Back to the top.

Fuck this shit. Every fucking time!

Hahaha oh man... A devrant user just deleted one rant because of “toxic” comments on it😂

That’s what happens when devs try JS for the first time. It drives you mad.

I recorded a video of the whole rant by the way... not sure if I should share it tho 👀

//Not a Rant

Jakub Steplowski, thank you for this updated UWP app. The time you spent fixing the bugs was worth it!

When I'm scrolling through my feed here for a long time and see a rant I want to comment on, I always scroll down, comment and then realize the rant is a month+ old.
Ugh.

Getting tired of my manager saying "That's too long! The people at the companies I've worked at before could do it in nearly half the time!"

Like, what's the point of asking me to quote time if you're just gonna ask me to reduce it anyway?

CEO announced a bug bounty programme for devs to do stuff in their free time for additional cash.

Cash is decided by business people based on their idea of how complex the given problem is.

And it's not for bugs one could just find and fix. Only some fixes/features decided by them.

Like second shift.

Today it happened.

My devRant rewrite crashed for the first time in about 3-4 months.

I believe I have created a safer and stabler devRant, even though it’s literally in alpha.

DAMN.

I love to code but I hate to configure.😡😡

OK I hate to configure when it takes several hours and when there is no real documentation.

Ok rant time. This app really needs to stack the notifications instead of popping a new one for every single thing and spam my notifications (Android)

In memoriam to my last rant: another cocktail! This time: Mojito (Barcadi Style Recipe)

First rant! I hate being OnCall. I'm just out of college, give me some time to ramp up without these panic attacks.

People often rant about a missing semicolon,
I added an extra after if condition

if(...);{
}

Compiler can't take this as error.
Debugged the logic for hours,
Wasted a lot of time, lol

Can we get a translator bot? I can't copy paste the text in app, so every time I want to translate some rant, I have to copy rant link, open it elsewhere, copy the text, and then go translate it.

Like, bots must do it easier and faster, right?

Ffs. Am I sick or is it normal that after almost a year at current company, I still love it and have nothing to rant about? It makes me happy and sad at the same time that i have nothing to rant about and this is the only rant i can come up with

When your happy your rant has enough votes to earn you a stress ball only to realize that they raised the limit since the last time you checked...

!rant

how long do you guys code per day?

being a student i have now extreme difficulties in time management😐

need some advice...

I would rant, but I am too busy fixing some bullshit and doing content entry. Maybe I will have time next year.

frustrated with code walk to bathroom.

favorite stall open. check. phone battery above 10%. check. vape. check. dev rant. check.

ahhhh time to relax.

What a time to become a dev

That time when you hop from one rant to a ranter profile and onto the next rant and repeat until you're commenting on some ancient post.

I'm addicted to dev rant. have spent more time on my phone this week than in the last 3 months xD

So no excuses anymore.
Hope you guys also having some adventures​ coding time 😉😂

I.e.Stories on dev rant

Glavic ++es my rants from time to time. I didn’t see them, so I guessed they were relatively new to the platform. I opened the profile and saw a rant that said “sometimes I star rants that don’t deserve it just to remember where I left off”, and now every time I see a ++ from Glavic, my brain remembers it, and I feel bad.

!rant
Launch time wish me luck!

are most people on devrant jobless? Asking because I never really got time to rant after getting one :p

To much dev. No time to rant.

I have got so much stuff to learn.

I have had little to no experience with Python and JavaScript and was planning to learn the lot during my holidays. Where I'm from, we have a huge ass festival this weekend. So holidays for a couple weeks, at least. Probably the biggest festival in our country. And for the last two months, I had my exams. So no learning back then either. I have so many tabs open to learn stuff but I don't seem to get the time.

So for the last 4-5 days, I've been cleaning the house, top to bottom because its the holidays, the only time I stay home and free. It sucks to do it alone. My parents are getting old and get all sorts of back pain and shit upon little physical effort. So I should get all the stuffs done.

Yesterday, I finally finished my chores at 10 in the evening. But by the time the chores were finished, I was finished too. *sigh* I guess I shall find some time soon.

!rant
So I have been living in a room without natrual light for a year. For the first time I'm looking forward to having windows.

Hello all,

I am an apprentice, 19. I joined this software developer apprenticeship to leave college as it was not particularly great for my mental health, and programming is the only thing I can do reasonably well.

The company that I find myself in is a strange one. It has about twenty or so employees, but we all instructed to operate as if we are a giant company—our sales person, for example, will tell our clients that we have hundreds.

The development team is a collection of software developers. There is no database administrator, network administrator, software engineer (not in name only), test engineer, requirements engineer, etc. There are just several software developers. Of these developers, one has left by now. When he joined, he was promised to be working on a new system: he left after spending seven years on an old system. A new developer has just arrived to replace him: he was told he would be working with Raspberry Pis; it was interesting to see his face after we informed him that we do not use Raspberry Pis.

The codebase is fourty-years-old and written in Delphi, which is some kind of cousin of pascal, from what I understand. Code is not peer-reviewed. Instead, it is self-reviewed, and you just push whatever changes you make. The code is very much spaghetti, and there is a whole array of bugs that, at least to me, look impossible to track down and fix. I have a bug assigned to me at the moment were someone appears somewhere when they are not supposed to. After asking seniors about this, I learn of this huge checking mechanism and all of its flaws: a huge, flawed checking mechanism... for toggling a single boolean value. This isn't a complicated boolean value, by the way, this is just a value to say whether someone has clocked in or clocked out of a building, via a button.

In terms of versioning, we have several releases, and we often do development work in older releases (or new releases and then write them into older releases) because our clients are larger than us and often refuse to upgrade, and the boss does not want to lose any contracts. We also essentially have multiple master branches.

With the lack of testers, bizarre version control, what appears to be unfiffled promises to staff, etc. I must ask that, since this is my first gig as a software developer, is any of this normal?

!rant

Just an observation.
According to Stackoverflow's survey, it suggests that developers with more experience are less competitive. I still can't understand this. How can developers loose their interest over time?

! Rant

Today i had to revisit my code to change some functionality for an application i made 3 years back.

I wish i could go back in time, refactor the code and write Unit tests.

Even as i type this rant the letters appear after some lag ....
Why is everything so slow ? Uh it's that time again....

Am thinking about giving a class on "How to waste time". You should attend it. It is not going to be free though. Otherwise, it would be a waste of my time.

RANT
JetBrains should be renamed in “Shit for brains”.

Actually no. Even the dump I take in the morning has more intelligence than ANY product of that “company”.

What a fucking waste of time…

Oh well, glad it's not a wk98 rant, just annoying to install and sync the data, this time I am going to do a full image backup after installing the basic things

devRant mini rant... Only myself to blame

I wear flannels all the time :( but don't have 1000

Thanks devRant for awesome content, I will get the flannels soon!

So. This job gets alot more interresting by the day.
The clients at this place use a software to monitor machines on a Day to day basis. We've gotten tons of complaints about the software from clients thats on Win10, that its a buggy mess.
Nothing we can do about it, its 3:rd party.
Software is currently on version 14.0, and is non complient with win7, if not being ran on v13.
I've talked to the devs and told them to fix it, since its such a huge issue, but they don't know whats causing it and holding out for v15.
So for users who can't stand the buggyness of v14 on win10 we have to recomend downgrading to win7 and running this garbage software on v13.

Just went an entire day at work without a computer.

I know we usually rant about meaningless meetings and waste of time conversations but they are great for avoiding work while seeming very busy and productive.

Feature Request
Be able to see the text of the rant one is commenting on, some of use have difficulty remembering more than 50 lines of text at a time.

Unity for Linux actually works 🤟🤟🤟

Last time I checked it didn’t go well at all. Has been years ago though..

Now lets start building some 3D stuff.

Last week my PM scheduled a meeting for the whole team of 14 devs to talk about our tasks, how we can improve our workflow, so he's up to date on daily stuff nad sprint progress. After an hour and a half of lots of brainstorming i just asked
- what exactly do you want to achieve with all these changes?
- basically i would like on overview of current progress on each task

And he proposed couple of different meetings during the sprint, which would waste dev time. He proposed to apoint one person reaponsible to keeping him informed during each sprint. He proposed we change our meetings, our process, all of it.
So I just sat with my laptop during the same meeting and I prepared a jira board with swimlanes, filters, etc. Where you can sort by priority, size, what is blocked, what is, waiting in queue, what is being currently developed, what is being tested, what's ready for deployment, etc. Easy. 5-10mins of work.

- does this solve your problem?
-....
- you have everything here
-... What if someone doesn't update the ticket status?
- we check everything during our dailies, so, worst case scenario is the status is not update for 24h
-... Umm.. Yeah.. I think thats it. Thank you.

So, we basically wasted 20+ man-hours on another bullshit meeting because the guy thats supposed to be using these tools doesn't know them at all. After working here for 6 months.

!rant
How do you find inspiration for hobby projects? I'd really love to do more programming in my spare time. My head is empty for ideas and hungry for problems to solve.

LIRR system rant 2 - there is a thing called a sensor. Can you please paste them on your trains so we know on a real-time map where the train is. If it's 8 miles away when supposedly 'on time' we don't have to freeze on the platform. It's 2016 not 2007.

We rant while we hit obstacles in life/dev jobs..
Just one flu/food poisoning makes us realize we are so vulnerable at time.
We can't code our way out of that...

!rant
Always open late? Nice flex time

(sent = late)

That feeling when after not enough time, of reading and commenting on new rants, you catch up to your rant, only to realise 2 hours have past and not 10 min, like you think it was..

!rant

Thank you devRant for making my procrastinstion time more enjoyable!

<rant>
How the hell do these people have a senior position?
<rant-cause>
Sdev:"The are no vulnerabilities in my code because i have Avast running at the same time"
</rant-cause>
SecOps: "<insert potoo bird reaction>"
</rant>

!$rant

Well after a nice saturday of no coding it's time to jump back into it :)

The time when u write a long comment for a rant and u delete them thinking it's stupid and read other rants and repeat

!!!rant

I LOVE flexible working hours (a.k.a. flextime). I don't know how you feel about it but not being forced to be somewhere at a specific time relaxes and improves my day hugely.

!rant
For first time in my life, I finished a programming book. It was YDKJS: up and going.

Question to all the Devs out there.....

What do you prefer???
A. Strict timing in the office (e.g. 9-6)
B. Deadline focused work any hours you want and beat the deadline.

!rant

For the first time ever I actually did well on a Computer Science test. I didn't even hand it in with any errors. It's the baby steps of progress that make me feel pretty happy.

First job starts in June, so I guess my first rant is that I don't have much to rant about (yet). Time to lurk .-.

P.S: Google why 4 notifications for new device sign-ins :[

Story time;

Major project, multi million budget, huge business and IT coordination, board level status updates, meeting started back in March 2018 for a Go Live of Aug 2019.

Based on draft requirements (and experience) I request the test environment be built for half of the work. Turns out that no one told Server Eng and they are out of space in both dev and prod until Q2 of 2019. We went from Green to Red because a Service Request.

!rant

Today I got access to the code for the new contract I’m working on.

It all built first time from source.

I’ve never wept such joyful tears.

!rant

we talk sometimes...
my colleagues tend to laugh when I've been talking for a longer period of time, but it truly does help!

!rant
I'm astounded. I just took a crack at some PHP logic that would be easy for a lot of you but hard for my math-and-logic-challenged brain.

It worked.

The first time.

!rant

Dual booted Linux Mint and Windows from an SSD for the first time.

The speed....incredible!

Why did I take so long to do this for myself?!

!rant
Going to a hackathon for the first time ever,
AngelHack10 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

!rant
So Microsoft thought it was a great idea to force-install updates and restart my Window Server 2016.

Please, Microsoft. It's time to stop.

!rant

First time Arch Linux user. Installed on old desktop box. Loving it!

Installing dev rant after a long time , usage went up by 36% 😵

I’ve realized that it’s past my working hours when I was looking up auto generated file created date time 😂.

P.S I’ve deleted a rant to post this 😂

!rant (Feature idea)

Rant Rooms!

Each room has a topic as it's title, and this room acts like a group chat. Individuals can join public rooms and rant about the specified topic. Or, private rooms can be created and the creator can invite people to this room.

Perhaps timeouts could be set so that after a specified amount of time without activity, the room expires and disappears.

Probably a shit idea but figured I'd mention it 😂

At my new job, we use WordPress. So obviously there's shitload of stuff to rant about. But because of those shitload WordPress stuff, I don't have the time to rant about it, and after work , don't wanna think about it.

That moment I wonder why I haven't wrote any rant for a long time and suddenly realized that it's because I've been coding only about a couple hours a week for the last months.

Basically, I finished all my computer related class and all that is left to finish (before I can get my diploma) are basic courses like philosophy and literature (which at least are interesting).

Now pretty much every day I wake up and I crave to code but I just don't have time to 😐

When you don't want to wait a second more than 2 hours to rant again :)

!rant

I've got 99 problems and my time is none

Who else around here just realizes he spent more time debugging other people's shit than actually developing in a year of work, and thinks that this shouldn't be allowed?

(cf my last rant)

I'm in awe as to how quickly time just flows when I'm coding at work

!dev && !rant

Anyone here from San Antonio Tx? I am in town for 2 days. It would be nice if we can meet up(if I get the time that is)

Little family vacation, lil leisure time.

!rant

Hello devRant, finally got around to create a profile after thoroughly enjoying it for some time here.

time waiting for the answers on SO is the best time to rant on devRant! :3

My work life is cool right now and I have nothing to rant about 😠but I read you all the time

My commute time recently went from 15 min. to 50 min. (rant for another time). Looking for a podcast that I can listen to on my way to work. It can be language specific (java) or it could be about software development in general. Anyone have any recommendations?

!rant

Today I got an interview for a cool job: Comissioning engineer with focus on PLC-programming.

So nervous, but so happy at the same time.

When you create a product that is a place for devs to rant, I excepted the product itself to be a target of the rants from time to time (after all, you are inviting "angry" devs)

I haven't noticed a single one so far! Kudos to the devRant team!!!

!rant
So my exams were going from a long time which kept me back from programming. And I started working on something today again, can't believe I love programming so much.

!rant
Moving next week.
So while packing I stumbled upon my pile of failing drives which my computers have rejected since moving in here.

Time for some late spring cleaning.

This is a rant.
Sorry rant community...I haven't had so much time lately. Too much work to do, and you reminded me that it's passed quite a lot of time from the last login. And for you I meant the rant community developers!
I will be here more often in the future!

!rant.
Just got my first on site job! Fucking tired of working remotely. Time to work without it getting boring/lonely.

!rant

Golang Backend + Supabase = ❤️

I feel like a freaking 🧙‍♂️ built a real-time chart in an hour!

!rant
I have just started my career.
In which technologies / languages should I invest my time? Thanks

Its feels so damn good to know we live in a time where computation has become so damn cheap that Amazon gives away a Tesla configured system for around 2.5$ an hour ... Like seriously.. all this progress took it's time .. but still seems really fast .. well .. good for us .. no rant here 😂

I've travelled around the world for a conference (Taiwan) and I'm on my own. Pure undisturbed rant browsing time.

!rant
Landed my first dev job today!!
Couldn't be more proud of myself and at the same time more terrified of what to come.

!Rant - advice
Anyone know the best way to determine if slow reaction time on a website is down to my internet vs their shitty fucking wordpress template?

There's a Rant coming soon - but I need to make sure it really is their fault and not just crappy Internet because it's Sunday night and the whole town is watching Netflix

Next weekly rant will be about what demotivates us most...

Yea so my rant: REWRITING MY FUCKING NN FOR THE FUCKING THIRD TIME

!rant
Been working on a project for a pretty long time now. I really think this could be something cool, and I just integrated paypal!

Feels great!

Rant: that moment when you don't want to drop one of your devs because he's been on that team since day one but HE DOESNT DO SHIT FOR THE TEAM!!!!!! I can count on one hand how many projects have been on time from this guy. RANT OVER.

Is the Android Build process getting slower with every update or is it just me who is experiencing that...

In the newest Android Studio Beta it went from 3m to 7m 🤦‍♂️
And my whole computer is blocked and not usable while compiling

Getting fed up with my job. Time to rant.

What do you guys think of code review? It was supposed to find potential mistakes in your code base, and share your knowledge with your co-workers, right?
In fact I have very bad experiences with code review, not just with 1 company, but quite a few. Code review process always comes to something like this:

Reviewer: Hey, I don't like your solution A because of disadvantages A1. You should implement solution B, because of advantage B1 blah blah...
Me: Yes, it's true that solution B provides advantage B1, but at the same time introduces much more complexity to the code base than necessary, and has disadvantage B2. I am aware that solution A has disadvantage A1 but it is justifiable and easier to overcome than B2 imo. In fact, solution A also provides advantage A2 that you might not know...
Reviewer: No, you HAVE TO implement B because of advantage B1 blah blah *repeating why B1 is awesome again*

I feel like it's just people trying to shove their preferences down my throat. Either code review is useless, or the companies I work for do something very very wrong in code review. Anyway, it's really discouraging me fron participating in team discussions.
