I'm 40 years old today. Feels strange.. and getting older as a developer is not an advantage at all. But I got a wonderful little baby, a wife and a job I (almost always) like! So happy birthday to me 😊

New senior dev joined the project today.
Senior dev: "There's no way for me to test my changes before I merge this into develop"
Me: "Can you at least run our test suite?"
An hour later the develop branch is fucked and everyone who has merged it locally has pages of red errors splattered across their screens whenever they run any tests.
Start looking into what the fuck is going on.
Notice that all the errors are related to changes the new guy made.
Ask him if he ran the tests..
Senior dev: "Nah they wouldn't catch anything locally "
Stare at the stream of red text running down my screen.
Normally I wouldn't care but we were trying to prepare a release... RUN THE FUCKING TESTS ASSHOLE.

It's disheartening to see a senior member of my team shitting on the code of less mature developers. Don't just say "this is unacceptable", elaborate, teach them. How are they going to action anything from that feedback?

Take the time to respond to their questions when they ask for clarification on what you're saying. Don't berate them.

Honestly some developers need to learn a thing or two about code etiquette.

There's no room for good cop / bad cop behaviour.

Surprise surprise, that unrealistic deadline you set even when the engineering team told you that it wasn't going to work has backfired! Maybe you wouldn't be so stressed if you learnt to listen? It's a pretty basic skill, or at least I thought so.
Oh and when you say "we have two options, stay late or work weekends" you have a critical bug in your conditional. Your missing option 3, go the fuck home. Time to enjoy my weekend with friends and family.

The only reason I use Linux is because I can't get a mac.

Finally they arrived!!
My first sticker ever 😅
Seems a bit lonely though

"The client has an important meeting next week! You have two days!"
If it's that important why are we just hearing about it...

Hello World! 👋
A newbie to DevRant..

There’s a special place in hell for fuckwits who create tickets and don’t include the fucking error message.

So it seems Google got intimidated by WhatsApp's payment feature.

Guess what Google did, they integrated chat functionality to their payment app. 😂

I guess yet another chat app from Google

Now my facebook messenger app does it's updates inside the app without my consent to install an apk.
I'm scared

I can't believe how many videos I see of some shell/terminal wizard typing in 'clear'..
*CTRL -L

My password manager!!
I use passwords I can never remember, stay logged in, next time I need to log_in I use the passqord forgotten button, reset it with my e-mail or better phone

If you are not satisfied with the framework you have used, try to see its source code. It will surely make you feel calmed.

Nothing shits me more than being interrupted every two hours for a "huddle". Shove your buzzword up your ass and fuck off so I can actually get some work done. What am I currently working on? The same fucking thing I was doing before you interrupted me again for a status update.

Writing 20k lines of code and finally during compilation more numbers of errors....Life ends here....

I've finally started playing a MUD game in my spare time. I gotta say, it's kinda awesome. And, BONUS: it looks like I'm actually working since the interface is just a text terminal.

You know you hit rock bottom when can only comunicate with a chat bot.

Stop shoving Django admin down everyones throat as a client facing solution every time we need any admin functionality.

It’s great at first but then you have to dick around customising it when you could build the same thing with any modern frontend framework and REST API easily.

Not to mention Django admin couples the models to the view it provides you (inlining particular models given their relationships)

I once thought writing huge lines of code makes it tough and messy, when i was learning Java.
Then I met with BrainFuck...
Name is trully justified.

Beers on a Wednesday afternoon at work. Feelsgoodman.

When you check your logs to see how long it's been since you took your medication...

Jquery came from Javascript but it is like a boon for the burning fire in ass.

That feeling when you have a new job lined up and nothing to rant about.

Powering off my Thinkpad so I can wipe the greasy SHEEN off of the keyboard / trackpad..

Wash hands, repeat.

Tats Google Tez App for me

The sticker would look amazing on my laptop, too bad i'm not going to get one soon 🙁🙁

For a while my social life was fuck all due to death marches and poorly managed projects. I’d be so exhausted by the time the weekend rolled around that I just didn’t want to do anything.

Sticking to a healthy work schedule and prioritising family and friends after an 8 hour workday did wonders.

On weekends I just tell me wife that I want to look at technology x for a couple of hours and we plan our day around that.

Also, finding social events I want to attend like DnD made a huge difference.

Anybody using Jetbrains PyCharm on Linux ?

I'm using Fedora 25/ pre-release, and It's rock solid except for wifi hotspot and I don't need it.

Now my school gave me a Windows 10 pro key, and I'm hesitant.
Should I install it ?
Will I need it ?

Does anyone have a favorite DNS service they use for their general home / mobile traffic?

For instance: AdGuard, OpenDNS, FreeDNS, Fool, Quad9 etc..

Considering speed, and privacy here.

I need a scraper, or a f$$$in api
