Teaching 7-8 year olds the basics of web design. We're we're playing with CSS and changing colours of block elements and text. One girl put up her hand, completely confused as to why it wasn't working. Her code:

Section {
Background-color: rainbow;
}

Oh the wonderful mind of children

Hmm. In the cooking section you say...

I bought a System76 laptop. They're headquartered in the same city where I live. In the "special instructions" section of the checkout process, I put, "I'm buying this because Apple took away my escape key."

This note came today.

I use BitBucket, not GitHub, but I can't add it to my profile because the repo section only accepts GitHub.

Hey everyone! @trogus and I are headed to TechDay New York tomorrow (May 10) and there will be a devRant booth in the social network section. If any devRanters are attending, you should definitely stop by our booth! There will be free swag and we’d love to meet some fellow ranters!

YouTube: tapping like 1px out of the like button, obviously you want to reply to the comment
Facebook: let's just remove the like button altogether, only exposing it to the comment section
DevRant: let's make it possible to double-tap anywhere on the post to upvote it

Only one of them did things the right way 🤨

If you have good eyes, list C# in your skills section.

FUCK YOUR OPEN SPACE OFFICE!!!!

AND FUCK YOUR HOT DESKING!!!

As a developer, is it too much to ask for a quiet section? 😭

I found that pornhub has a feedback section...
This man (wanting white theme) was totally rekt.
See another one in the comments

I did a little website where people can make reservations. I made an administration section where my client can create a reservation and delete them.

But every day damn I have this conversation. EVERY DAY between 9am and 10am:

My client to me: Can I ask you a question?
Me: Yes?
Client: [the question]
Me: Open the documentation i wrote for you.

Real Story:

Manager: You have to add an extra section in the app to show more details.

Me: We are already showing so many unnecessary details. These changes are not required.

Manager: No !! You have to do it.

Me : Ok !!! So why can't we show it in the section where we are showing the other details. Why make a separate section for it.

Manager : No !! It won't be clearly visible to the user. Just do it.

So I added another section to show useless information that we are already showing it f**king everywhere else in the app.

So I released a new apk next day with the added features.

In meeting, our CTO goes through the app and ask manager....

" Why we have added an extra section for showing same details that we are showing everywhere else ???

Who approved this ?? This is nonsense !!! "

Here comes the fun part.

Manager : I don't know. I didn't ask for it. These changes were not there earlier.

And ask me.

"Who told you to make these changes ? "

I am like... F***k man you a***ole told me to do it even when i told you it will be nonsense.

Think I finally finished the header section of my portfolio site :) It's starting to come together.

To all dutch people on here, the new surveillance law I ranted about a month or something ago has passed if my source is correct.

Passed as in, the government has voted in favor.

Time to start encrypting/vpn'ing/torring and securing your computers!

Feel free to use this rant's comment section as Q/A and tips section for this subject as well :)

Everyone when writing HTML:

ME:

I could be wrong, but I believe all devs love a clear section saying

"Getting Started" to any form of documentation

DevRant idea: a dedicated section for people to show off their personal projects To inspire other devs

#Programming alone

Person who did review me wrote in the section “skills needed to improve”:

“He is introverted...”

Bloody hell!! What a big problem :) and how in earth you can “fix” it? And why everyone expected to be extraverted??

During an interview today for angular:

In the last section of interview female staff:
She : Do you have a girlfriend?
Me : Nop
She : Why do not you have a girlfriend? Guys at your age has girlfriends.

Me : ( Died inside )

I don’t have a degree, nor has a degree ever prevented me from being hired / doing my job.

Now that’s not to say all businesses / companies will over look your education section on the CV, But for me it’s never been a problem.

#SelfTaughtDevsMatter

Yesterday I was downloading illegal movie from the Internet and found this movie under comedy section and thought to download. After downloading I found out that it was a girl-to-girl porn.

Dear Developers and Content editors
Do your fucken job right and link the correct files.

Thank you.

PS: I enjoyed the porn

Guuuyyyssss

In my recent rant I told that I will go to an programming challange (or so) in Bonn, Germany.

Today my boss told me I can go if I present the competition to all other bosses in our department + I will be a participant in the "innovation section" of our department. YESS FUCKING YESSSSSSS

I could get fucking promoted jeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just opened the Q&A section of SoloLearn and well I almost cried.

I think I’ve seen enough to run away 😂

Are people really this misinformed of things?

Manager: How’s the progress coming along?

Dev: The section of code I’m working with is one of the more difficult ones so it’s a little slow

Manager: Ok well I didn’t write that section of the code

Dev: I’m not saying you did I’m just giving you the status update that you asked for

Manager: Ok well I can’t really do anything about that so how about you tell me something I can do something about instead of just complaining about code THAT I DIDN’T EVEN WRITE!! *Marks self as offline*

Dev: …

While using open source library if you get stuck, head over to library's issues section on GitHub. Paste minimal error, you will definitely find an answer. Always works.

I wish devRant had a section called “comic strips” or equivalent. I freakin love these dev ones.

Get yourself a friend that sends you URLs like this:

I love the skill requirements section of a junior Dev job advertisement.

To summarise "Basically you'll need all the skills and experience of a senior, but we are gonna pay you much much less". 😔

WTF?! Do I look like your personal Google assistant or amazon alexa?!

You messaged me to call the customer support for some doubt you have. Why can't you do it yourself?!

I then sent you a FAQ section from the website covering all the required details.

And you couldn't even bother to open the link to check there?!!!

Fuck off.

That's why Amazon is special. Look at the what's new section for the app update.

I wish you needed at least 500++ to post images or in the joke section.

What's with all these new people just reposting memes?!

Not really a rant but I'm just happy so I must share it.

Two days ago I uploaded a new project on github and today when I woke up I saw it on github trending! Only the C# section though, but still.

Feels weird as I'm usually not upload anything and the ones I have usually sit around 5-20 stars forever.

The moment you go to a site, and the scroll bar is so small you think the article is so long...But it's actually the comment section ...

I was looking through old entries in my keepass, and I happened across this bit from when I worked in places that still had unix servers. I was so angry at the impossible input issues they had that I put this into my 'handy commands' section.

Raspberry Pi's in the food magazines section xD

Here's my desktop setup running Ubuntu 18.10 with Gnome. Drop a screenshot of your desktop setup in the comment section, would love to see them!

YouTube. I used to love it a lot but now I don't recognize it. It pushes its agenda everywhere only certain content becoming popular. And regular people don't have much of a way for getting noticed unless they're in an extremely niche section. It's gone the way of the TV and I don't think it's coming back barring a massive internal restructuring.

650 line hand constructed xml file missing a tag. Took me 3 hours to find. I looked at the section at least 3 times but my brain would not pick out the mistake. Online cal validators all pointing me to the wrong places.
It takes persistence to be a developer so pat yourselves on the back.

This is literally 5 minutes into the second section of the class 😂😂

So when I was working for a web dev shop, one of the clients asked us to have a drop down of all the different combinations you can have for street types to appear on the address form of their shopping cart. So stuff like "Street", "St", "Drive", "Dr", "Lane", "Ln" etc. We told the client that it wasn't possible since the possible combinations and how some street don't all end with a type.

But the client was adamant about having this so we ended up building a section in the administration section to allow the client to add any new street type to a database table that will populate the dropdown.

I love when people post a piece of their code here and got ranted for bad practices then posts "haha i was kidding, i would never do this" on the comment section.

I mean, we can learn here to, you're not suposed to be right 100% of the time, stop been so arrogant :/

A very rudimentary bedroom project management system. Each note is a different section of the program I'm working on.

I do this at night to make extra money, so it's not exactly the best system. It works though.

Have a visual representation of progress somehow motivates me.

Genuine snippet of code from something we are rewriting from scratch..

// Returns true if section length is greater than maximum path
public bool isOversized(double sectionLength) {
return false;
}

Fffuuuuuu

Adding in a responsive table for posts in my cms project. This section should be fun :)

Found the Expression section of the profile a few seconds ago and I'm so excited :O

Everytime a rant about a tech problem appears, most of you try to be supporting and helpful in the comments section.

Thank you for beeing nice to people who suffer from work related pain.

Some of the best mentoring has actually been from the devRant community on how not to get burned out as a developer.

Take it section by section. Don’t spend a lot of time on one part. Work on it for a bit then move on to a new part and so on.

Thanks devRant Community

enough is enough
to all the fucker ass morons deploying mini js frameworks with ambiguous names and undocumented functionality all fucking minified and using at least 20-30 of them on each page
dafuq you need a different slider for every section ?

GitHub Beta for mobile,
A brief initial look reveals you can create an manage issues, view pull requests however you can't create them and browse code within a repo.

Oh and hook up to organisations - I'm not in one for this account, so can't browse that section.

Someone commented the import block with “This is the import section”

I really wanted to add a comment under it that said “no shit”

The 'Hot network questions' section on stackoverflow.

I'm sick of all the people who are complaining about PHP as if it were a shitty language.
Watch your mouth next time you abuse PHP or at least try to do so after reading 'about' section of devRant.

let's try something...
Roast thread, please tag and insult your fellow devRanter in this comment section. Get creative in finding swearwords. Too many ++ bombs, poor code quality or you're just secretly in love with some other Ranter and hate it.

I think devRant should add an Ask A Dev section, since I always feel intimidated using stack and I can't be the only one...

From a school book currently in use. I can report a good laugh.

"In Section 29.7 we introduce the Java language as an increasingly important language for Web development"

Small bug: If you scroll down a comment section fast enough, avatars will be wrong (last avatar...)

Terrible Dutch (!dev) tech pun I just came up with: (posted it earlier under the rant section but removed it due to that)

Wat moet een AMD CPU doen als'ie op vakantie gaat?

Ryzen.

I think joke section is a joke itself. If I want to see cringy jokes, I would google image search “developer humor”.

Client - "hi, I got the mail. Is the app complete.......","...you've done this part?....","...have you done that blabla section..."

😑..I already wrote it in the mail that it is complete, dumbass. And Why don't u just flipping RUN it and see if this part and that section is working properly and tell me if your highness can spot something incomplete.

No I'm not overreacting. He acts like this all the time.

Worst documentation I've seen?

Our "Coding Standards" 20+ page document. The team who put it together got so detailed, there wasn't much 'wiggle room' for natural deviations in a developer's coding style. For example, a section devoted to no abbreviations. So if you had a variable 'invoiceId', they complained you violated 'standards', even though 'invoiceId' matched a field name in a database table. Using Dapper or another ORM that relied on the 1:1 name match? Nope, you were still forced to inject your own mappers so the code didn't violate standards.

As you can probably guess, such a long, detailed document would have contradictions. I pointed out one of the contradictions. Example:

Page 5: Section B, sub-section B-5, paragraph 3 : "To minimize network traffic, when querying the database, request all the data necessary for the application."
Page 8: Section K, sub-section K-2, paragraph 4 : "For maximum performance, when querying the database, request only the most minimum amount of data necessary for the application ."

In a review I pointed out this contradiction (there were several more)
Me: "If we satisfy A, one could say the code is in violation of B. Which is it?"
<Pointy-Hair-Boss throws his pencil on the table>
PHB: "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH STANDARDS! It couldn't be more clear! We are a company of standards because without standards <blah blah..straw man argument..blah blah>"
<deciding not to die on that hill, I move on>
Me: "On page 12, paragraph 9 code is in violation if a method has more than 3 parameters. That seems a little restrictive given our interaction with 3rd party products."
PHB: "There you go again. As stated in the document, ALL code used by the company will comply to our standards. What part of 'ALL' do you not understand?"

Was he bluffing about requiring 3rd party vendors complying with our standards? Heck no. That's a story for another day.

Idk if people noticed but Snapchat CEO allegedly said that he doesn't want to expand in poor countries like India and Spain.
Well good luck getting hatred from 1+billion people.
The rating section had a drastic increase in the 1 star rating. Damn, that's one way how to not run a business.

Can we all agree that if Devrant had a best "About" section award, it would go to @thoxx?

When you haven't bought the item yet but just want to inquire about it, give it a low rating. 'coz that's how the product reviews section works.

That Moment when you watch a ted talk of linus torvalds, scroll down the Comments section and find this lol

!rant for any rock/metal fans,
Avenged Sevenfold just released a new concept album (the stage) about artificial intelligence. It includes a spoken word section in the last song by Neil deGrasse Tyson!

Not dev, but IT...

Just found out that one section of my place of work still uses floppy disks. No I’m not fucking kidding. The other sad part? We still have the outdated computers to read them. 😩😂

Please, send help or a job application...

Is it too much to ask for companies in the current world to be.. oh I don't know.. honest and consistent?

If you advertise on your Job section: "We always give our candidates feedback, whether they got the job or not". Then, *****, give them feedback! I applied and they never got back to me. And no, that's not feedback.

A colleague of mine got a ticket today from a customer. The customer complained that the website visitors would need to many clicks to see the news on the site and that the news section is kinda hidden. We were quite confused because there is no news section on the website. After looking around for an hour we saw that the customer used the FAQ page to also include news by simply putting [NEWS] in front of the caption.

Missing those days when videos about latest technology had a meaningful comment section. Now it's 'pewdiepie vs tseries' everywhere.

So to understand RFC A I need to understand Section X from RFC B which implies that you know RFC C which has been obsoleted by an obsoleted RFC.

I love it

No love for hoodies? So sad. Only found one hoodie in avatar builder shirt section.

Historically I've done Java but have recently moved to C# and got the book to do a cert.

Who thought it would be a good idea to start chapter 1 with threads, concurrency, asynchronous calls and PLINQ, then covering boolean expressions, if statements and loops in the section after??

When you release a mobile framework, here is what should be in the tutorial:

How to do api calls
How to switch screens
How to handle hardware sensors

What are hidden away in an obscure last page on the flutter site? All of the above. The api section just straight up fucking points to a dart page. Good fucking job.

Stack overflow bots that will post vulnerable code snippets in the response section of popular questions and then upvote each others code and push it to the top.

I just now realized I'm famous!

I'm listed in the acknowledgement section of an IETF RFC. Sweet.

I've been working with HTML/CSS for my whole adult life and yet I still sometimes get surprised by how margin collapsing works. No, the section below does not have any negative margins. The world is just an unending mystery.

Fucking tutorials that simply skip thing completely.

Like how the fuck am I supposed to know how to run that that shit when you don't even mention how to build it and jump straight to the fucking debugging section.

Fucking hell, relate yourself to the people who'll read your shit, you non empathetic scum

@dfox just throwing a suggestion out there. How about creating a weekly tips section in which everyone could share useful insight about different tehnologies/OS/languages? Or even create topics in which people could share such things?

Stack Overflow has this section in the sidebar that displays hot questions from the entire SE network.

I keep being distracted everytime I see it.

Feature request : see later.
I am tired of rants filling my favorite section.

an IT student from same semester another section.

met because I was helping with a side project. and he happens to be there.

here's the interaction:

guy: heard ... u work for a company..
me: ya.. um web development
guy: never heard of that ...wheyyyyyy ....re is it!

me: ʘ‿ʘ

Aaaaaw fuck yea. I'm finally at my mother's, for my first holidays since late December 2017, and I FINALLY can sleep as much as I want without being bothered. I just slept 30+ hours in 3 days, which is close to what I sleep in a week. Still tired though, but I feel so much more relaxed than the evening I arrived at my mom's place 3 days ago *.*

I was working on a section of code and had to make a change to an if-statement. So I searched for "if" to get there... Idiot...

Features suggestions:
1. When we type @ in the comment section it'll be nice to have autosuggest of users as we type. This will help not closing the comment and checking the spelling again and again.
2. Search available on basis of tags. Type in a tag you want to search about and get all rants/questions with that tag.

Found "hyper" in the "built with" section of electron.
me: hey, that looks cool
*downloads hyper*
*opens hyper.app*
me: well... fuck this then
hyper:

A big project in my company. Had some annoying race condition that caused data to get deleted when two processes finished in the wrong order they hit the dB and override each other’s work.

Long story short. Fixed the bug and in the process the codebase shrunk by 60%. I didn’t have to delete the rest of the code, but the bug was due to a function in the legacy section of the code, and found out that it was the only function used in that section.

So I deleted it. Rewrote the function so it upserts. And bam. Smaller, cleaner code :)

@dfox can you give support for the gif section in gboard!

So one of my coworkers is making a tutorial on how to use a terminal, and he has a section on exiting vim, he must be a god, he can exit vim 😂

Currently reading through a long GitHub issue thread. For some reason people started quoting the entire message they are replying to.
The last post has 9 nested messages and the quote section is 1600 pixels tall. Who needs @mentions anyways.

When its saturday morning and you're on a bridge because the migration is still failing 34 hours in and the PM mentioned the vendor doc that he 'trimmed for your benefit' and replaced with his terrible doc, and you beat the original out of him and basically read off the section title "Exactly the error you got and the steps to prevent and resolve" and section 2 "big bold red letters explaining how to avoid it" and you instafix it. #wherewereyouonthursday

first off, i think this may be out of scope but either way.

i think along the rants, a tag seperated section for programmer tips could be pretty neat :)

i'll start off, my tip of today would be: if it seems too complex, it probably is.
consider refactoring by splitting into multiple smaller parts or even its own seperate API. :)

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Future projections & Live General Section

Added some future projections like SocialBlade, where you can see your score in the future, according to the stats in the last 30 days. Therefore it will only be available after storing the stats for 30 days.

Also made the complete "General" section live now, and replaced "Live Score" with "Devrant++ Member since".
So now the values are updating every second! (Using EventStream so not working in Edge Browser lol idc)

Have fun!
Feedback is appreciated!

Hey, fellow devranters, there is a major update to the devBanner project, but before releasing it, we (or I) would like to ask you, fellow devranters, a question, or a simple poll.

Do you think white font is better in yellow bg? Or should we change to black font?

Leave your opinion !!!!

To see the sample pic, see the section below.

Thanks!

Just passed the Salesforce Platform Developer I exam with no section below 83% :) I need another beer.

Randomly reviewing a coworker's c++ codebase revealed he was locking at the beginning of a critical section, but explicitly calling unlock for each and every error-handling branching within it. And yes, he forgot to unlock at several places.

That's just not RAIIght.

DevRant just lacks of a section for Q/A similiar to StackOverflow. Guys the here are really kind and nice!!

I wish LinkedIn profiles come under IP protection- I have a friend who copied my linkedin profile word-by-word, except experience and title section. He even updates his profile every time I update mine !!!

He asked me last week whey I haven't endorsed him, despite requesting multiple times. Hmm.

Is anyone getting this image glitch in the discussion section??

I am building my portfolio website and added a contact section. In the API call to the backend, I am logging potential API failures to Firebase Analytics. Is it ethical to include the request data (content of the contact form) in log data?

So, i just spent an hour and a half looking at a 4 line section of code wondering why it wasnt working correctly...

I had to add 1 fucking line in outside of the brackets...

I hate myself, i truly do.

The Devrant community is about the second nicest I've came across in my life. The first one being the comments section of Vexento on yotube.

Is there some way to format code on devrant or say, surround a section of text with (at minimum) italics?

I mean we *are* on a site dedicated to developers.

So if you google any pet say 'cat' on chrome browser on phone, there is a section to view it in 3d. And within 3d section there is an option to view it as a live virtual pet via Augmented Reality. I literally spent entire morning browsing through all the available animals and showing them to my family 😁

@dfox suggestion, when I'm in the "Top Rants" section, can it be able to swipe left or right to change the tabs Day, Week, Month, All. It would be more efficient to see other rants 😉

I feel like adding a new section to my contract mentioning that any uninformed delay in response, payments, or material transfer would cost an additional fee per day (except on public holidays and weekends).

Any thoughts?

When you leave the comments in your question section

In the shops looking for earphones, got distracted at the clothing section

If there's any page on a website that DESPERATELY needs a WebVR interface, it's the Privacy Policy. Imagine navigating in 3D to section 8.2

class name for section named "liability" is "liab"
class name for section named "dedcutible" is "deduct"
class name for section named "personal property" is "personal-prop"
class name for section named "personal liability" is "personal-liab"

I don't know who you are, but you are a twisted evil teammate and I wish you fired.
You've ruined my day, hope you're happy.

anyone else, when reading documentation to some API, and you come across section titled "doing [whateveritis] via SOAP", you just laugh "hahaha, no way, sweety", and scroll past that section as fast as possible? =D

- Got one more section to rewrite from this thesis and I'll be done. (except for stuff after review)
- Have zero ass to sit down and actually do the final trims.

Smh.

When I see warning like this, I feel strong urge to try it just for sake of what could possibly happen.
Python Cryptography library in Primitives section if anybody wondering.

I find it bizarre that streaming services have a "skip intro/recap" button and clearly marks a segment in a film/show worthy of forgetting but will keep it in your "continue watching" section if you leave during the credits.

Surely you would mark this as complete if the identifiable segments exist?

Unicode's biggest problem is that it isn't a streamable format. Given a section of a Unicode string, it's impossible to assert that the next character won't be an accent or zwj or other modifier. This means that it's impossible to convert stdin into an iterator over canonicalized Unicode graphemes.

Feature request: hierarchical commenting for replies to specific comments within a post to de-clutter the comment section a bit. @dfox @trogus

I'm a twitter kinda guy but after downloading this app from the "recommend" section on Google Play, I'm now a devRant guy. Can't get enough of ppl complaining about stupid stuff. It's great fun. Some rants are just 11/10. Lovely community.

Dude, filling in the " research interests" section in the CV is the hardest fucking part.

Notepad++ download section

Lesson of the day:
<If a section of your code keeps on bringing errors, just comment it. The code is likely to work./>

Just went to my accounts in Google. And happen to go across my activity section. I had no fucking idea I was tracked so much! It even lists the app I have opened at particular time. It stores every frigging thing I do with my phone. Goddamnit! Yes, I understand I have agreed to share my information with you. But you just take everything.

Go to myaccount.google.com and head towards the my activity section. You'll know what I'm talking about if you are heavy android user.

Here's the intro of the documentation I'm reading in my new job:

...we have four sections. First 3 section will use LBC and the last 2 section will use HBC

🤔

Followed the angular js tutorial until routing section. Then gave up.

It's not for me. Maybe I'll try again in a few weeks.

What is Dark Web?

The YouTube comment section of Pewdepie

I've been staring at the same section of code for about two hours now. I want to solve this puzzle and design it properly. I'm desperately trying to resist the urge to hack it. Not sure I can hold out much longer...

Happend to me when I was looking through the deals section, of a electronics retailer...
I guess, these know what's needed

We were to integrate our mobile apps with our company's analytics/tracking platform. So we asked the team responsible for said platform for some docs, API and such.

What we get was a js file and an instruction to put it in <head> section of a website.

Wouldn't it be kinda cool to have a project section in devRant? Like the collab section but for projects that are finished/work in progress. I'd love to see what people here make and it would be a great way for people to get exposure and feedback on their work.

The only thing more druggy than devRant is the Hot Network Questions section on you know where

When your technical skills section starts to look like a a node_modules directory, it’s time to edit.

The documentation for the matplotlib python library is terrible for newbies.

There is a "Tutorial" section, but the thing doesn't even explain what you can do until you get to the 4th section!
It starts off with some confusing examples, how to change the appearance and only at section 4 do you actually start to get an introduction to the different components you might want to use...

At some point you finally realize, most of the stuff that is shown can be omitted because the .pyplot module is all you need.

Urghhhhhh not Java again!

(uni project wants a java client for a section. Kill me plz.)

If I were to write a de/encoding algorithm, that nobody but me knows about, would it be safe?

Don't you love writing a novel, get to a section introducing some of the higher up main characters and you can only remember 3 of the 8 names... Yeah me too 😃🔫

Just gave up 10GB++ on my Mac for MS Office. Survived with Drive for the first 4 weeks of uni until yesterday, a lecturer bombarded us with announcements in MS Word format. Did I just wake up in 2005??

(p.s. the same lecturer used to work for Intel
p.p.s. there is a separate announcement section with automatic email blast)

Wordpress :(

This is some production code of a completely butchered Wordpress site I have been forced to work on (the previous developer managed to break the site so the archives section failed to work).

Words literally fail me.

Saw TV recently, just by accident, for about 5 secs. It was "Coming Up..." section of one channel. And the first title there was "PROTOTYPE THIS". As javascript dev, I shat pretty much after seeing these two words together, they are kinda following me.

Client: wow! I really love the simplicity of this site. I have a few requests though. Can we add a popup of a picture whenever someone hovers over a link, I want to add 2 more colors, I want that one section to grow and shrink when someone hovers......

Me:........... 😐🔫

I cant with this company any longer.

Most of it is crap but this is too much

Retrospective meeting after 2weeks sprint.

Sprint board for the meeting, in the not good section

Question from my front end developer. "Where does the testimonial link go to?"

*facepalm* how dense do you have to be. Idk let's have it go to some section, on the same page even, that is called the testimonials section. A page you built.

Some days I wonder about people.

So I was looking at ups's on amazon and I scrolled down to the questions section and someone asked "Would this computer be good to host a game server?" I honestly have no words😂

you know you are watching a video about programming when the comment section looks like this.

*le me being frustrated af trying to compile asm.
.section won't work for fasm. And some other things won't work for Nasm.
Now I got the .obj aka .o from the .asm. But ldrdf.exe from the nasm compiler isn't working properly. And I can't find a troubleshoot online. Seems like this will be a sleepless night...

The review section of AMD threadripper 3990x on Amazon is the funniest shit ever

In good news today: my donut 🍩 looked abit like the surprized picachu meme.

In the sad news section: theres mostly meetings and bad micro management.

you know you're on the tech section of the office when there's no fashion around

Web developers, how long does it take for you to make a responsive web page?

Let's say the page is a fancy one with lots of images and gradients and buttons and wavy section dividers with little to no consistency.

It's been 2 days and I'm still far from completing one.

That moment where you find how to do it in the docs
But you had passed that section 3-4 6 times
But you had already formulated your own fix

And you have to redo that code block

Pushed out a big update that included restructuring every directory. No one had access to the admin section. Yeah needless to say my boss was not happy since no one could do any work. Turned out during the process I made every admin page need the highest level of authorization which only the owner has. Easy fix but stressful day for sure

Ah a Monday rant. How wonderful a day.

I cleared a project with my boss how dynamic each section on a frontpage should be. This and this needs to be dynamic on each page load. All in the beginning of the project.

Now in the end, he changes his opinion by writing to me in Slack. "Remember, that this section needs to automatically draw X from this other page."

Now I have to redo it, since I made it as static content since that is what was asked of me. Now he blames me for why I never did it correctly in the first place.

Kms.

A big old Fuck off to Instagram posts saying 'comment "AWESOME" word by word in the comment section, its impossible'
How do these even get suggested when I don't even like any of their posts, their ML is bad.

Well I was going to be productive today, but instead my partner (same project, but different section within said project) decided to question the entire premise on which the project is built, so now I have to explain why we're doing what we're doing.
Again.

I just crave to start an open-source project. It's just that I don't feel like doing it alone. Anywone up for doin' something stupid? I have a few silly ideas in mind 😅

(Yeah, I need some other project than work...)

(Oh, right. Didn't feel like posting this over at the collab section. Felt to vague.)

How the fuck do you get over 10k points on stackoverflow? Are these people actually developing and pursuing a job or are they just F5ing in the questions news section?

Recently I tried to get some upvotes on answers, but there was not one decent question in one hour which would have gotten me more then 1-2 upvotes.

When you are trying to get through "Get started" section of a new framework/lib but get so many ideas that suddenly you find yourself creating 5 applications at a time without any idea what the fuck are you doing.

People that ask for help on a program I've written...
In the comment section of a completely irrelevant video I made --'

Learn enough languages and technologies so I can participate in the Collab section.

Does anybody know an awesome list of services relevant to (.NET) developers? Preferably self hosted.

The section in kickballs list is too short I think.

When looking for a job online and the salary section is like, "negotiable" - yeah right

Spends months on a clearly laid out project. Finally gets to the end.
"Great stuff, well done - now let's start the next section of it"

"...the what now?"

Me: Updated the website boss.

Boss: You again forgot to put the email id in the contact section.

Me: Boss, just click on the mail icon.

Boss: Oh, you configured it.

Project/Middleware/APIs website about section- Writes a lot of things which is hard to get for many, than explaining exactly what it does

Can we have a section for real question and answers?

oh wait, there's stack overflow for that.

how drunk you can get on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Am I the only one who hates that Slack has added a new `Drafts` section?
Like WHY TF? On one hand, I'm having some important work talk, and then I realize that I cannot see my boss's chat anymore and then I have to always look up and see the horrible Drafts section.
Although it is becoming second nature after a million times, I just don't like this feature at all.

IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END?

Received insider information about my magazine. Two possible things cab happen tomorrow:

- I wake up tomorrow and we go through our first meeting of the year (general meeting happen three times a year) and everything is fine

- I wake up tomorrow as the new editor for my section but at the cost of my closest friend leaving the magazine.

Which one will be a better user experience ? A or B ?

0:
A ) user scrolls in the main activity for most of the features
B ) user selects very basic features in the main activity and finds the others in the sub menu

1:
A ) long text in one page
B ) shorter text in number of pages

2:
A ) brief walk through at the beginning
B ) very clear and detailed labels
C ) complete help section

3:
A ) separate rating section
B ) ask the user for rating every time till the user rates or presses dismiss

4:
A ) inappropriate billing
B ) show ad

!!!rant

I'm finished with university for this year, so I can finally dedicate all my time to work and personal projects. Knowing that I can do whatever I want because I won't have to wake up at 7am... I feel GREAT! Now it's 4am, I just finished a section of a project, and I don't feel tired at all. FUCK YES!

Is it just me or is the Collab section gone from the Bar.

Seems to view Collabs now, need to uncheck all other categories which is a bit annoying?

What is your opinion on Agile?

I was studying through my textbook for a test tomorrow and the Agile Philosophy section sounded like a Team Rocket manifesto at some parts:

Responding to change over following a plan
Individuals and Interactions over processes and tooks
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.

Tech-Report has a section featuring mov instead of move.
Spot the assembly coder ;D

Hello Team, Good morning.

Yesterday I was working on posting a quality rant but couldn't come up with something good. I browsed around other people's rants and started shit-posting in their comment section. I also put multiple hits on the ++ button on funny comments.

Today I will continue on coming up with a quality rant. No blockers, thank you. Rest of the day, I will be browsing other ranter's rants and mess around in their comment section.

Let me know if anyone needs something from me and feel free to reach out.

Thank You.

I find it interesting that most of the devRant profiles I look at only put the languages they know in the skills section, not the things they do with those languages.

Why is that?

How sad that I am here to vent and see other people's rants and I keep looking for a section to ask about issues we face and rant about. It never ends!

Figured I would post this here, rather than the rant section. Just wanted to say hello! I think this community is awesome, and I am excited to be a part of it!

Am I the only one who will spend half an hour reading through the "top all-time rants" section of devRant to figure out why they're so popular? I just can't shake that feeling that there's some sort of pattern there that I can optimize...

Guess I must be a developer, given that last statement :D

The jobs section in stackoverflow pages

When you ask where to get devRant stickers, and realise it's in the 'Free Swag' section

I'm not proud to admit that I was searching for the stories section just to notice that I haven't even updated the app.. Silly me 😅
