I think server down time is because of rain 🌧

Think twice before making a time estimate.

Then multiply that by two.

I can't see an end, I have no control and I don't think there's an escape - I don't even have a home anymore

Definitely time for a new keyboard

Me after 13 hours of coding yesterday...

I think it's time to stop and go to sleep....

Saw this a long time ago. I think it belongs here..

my all-time favorite xkcd comic. Many will know it already, but i think it's a nice start into devrant community and maybe a few will laughing as hard as i did when i've seen it the first time :)

I think I just invented a thing.

Mouse drop.

It should be a thing.

The next time I switch jobs I'll definitely do a mouse drop before I leave the building.

"My think isn't working!"
"Let me see."
*starts program, error message appears, clicks X*
"What was that?"
"Don't know, appears every time, I never read it."

I think I accidentally travelled back in time...

When interviewing a dev, ask them what they think about time zones. If their answer is "fuck time zones", hire them immediately.

They apparently think that I should answer every telegram/email/WhatsApp message immediately.
"You're looking at the screen the whole time anyways!"

I think I get a programmer high.

Like when I program, I get really into it, time is flying, I'm having fun problem solving, I am super focused, my brain is thinking super fast, and I have a hard time stopping.

Maybe similar to a runners high?

When you start smiling at rants all the time and your family and friends think you got a new girlfriend

1) An increasing number of beards can be observed on the streets.
2) According to Netmarketshare, desktop Linux usage is at an all time high 2.18%.

Coincidence? I think not!

I think I just broke time...

I don't think I have time to pee anymore!!😂

#define f fuck

I think it's time to fing start carrying my fing phone around in a fing metal box !

f Google !
f it again !

Wish me luck guys I think this is it. I'm going to be financially set for real this time woohoo! Big thanks to my man billy

I think they are looking for time travelers..

6 hrs later still waiting.....
I think Microsoft uses a different measure of time.

I think I’m starting to really take pride in giving clients longer development times than I think will be needed.

The rule of doubling the time you think it would actually take, plus adding just a little more has protected me so many times...

Don’t be a yes man/woman...

Think it's time to get a bigger SSD..

My work is soo time consuming that I am scared of entering into a relationship. But I think I genuinely like her. :/

Vacation!
Short but absolutely needed.

My time tracker shows I’ve had mental breakdowns for 29% of my tracked hours this month. I think it’s time to mail them some mistletoe taped to some manure.

(Yes, I’m searching for somewhere else. When I’m able.)

When your cornflakes suggest you death... I think it’s time to make decisions.

The worst feeling is writing so many lines of code knowing you could do it in a more concise way if you just had time to think about it but you don't.

:-)
I think that "family guy" is telling me That is time to close netflix and read something......

I think this is the first time that my real name is available as my username 🙆‍♂️

Just had an email from the MD saying anyone caught streaming music will be given a disciplinary.... think it's time for a new job

The longer I work in IT, the longer it takes me to answer tech questions.

In my jr days I was confident and used to blab out the first thing [solution] that came to my mind. But now.. Now I tend to require a few minutes to think about the question, the problem, possible solutions, weight out their pros and cons and only then can I start answering.
If I don't wait, I usually tend to regret rushing as a better answer comes to me a few minutes later

is it just me getting old? Or do you have the same thing?

I swear, every time someone says we have the latest front end tech stack, makes me think of this.

Everytime I check the time and it's exactly 13:37, I find that funny.
I think I'm weird :)

Do you ever look at your girlfriend and think, "what kind of hallucinogen did I take this time?"

So I've been exporting a JSON dump of ~120GB for hours and when trying to processing it, and write it to a new file, I wrote to the same file. FML. Hours of export became 0 bytes in no time. Think its time to get some sleep.

Mate: I think we should use firebase for our project.
Me: why?, I don't think our project require firebase
Mate: I think there should be some use of firebase in our project.
Me: *madly Explains complete project architecture why we don't need real-time database*
Mate: *not accepting* there should be use of firebase, I'll think and tell you
Me: *Flips table* 😡

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

Me: "We should do X!"
Client: "I think Y would be better."
Me: "If you're sure..."
Client: "I'm the one paying you!"

*much development time passes*

Client: "We should do X. Isn't it your job to think of these things?"
Me: "..."

Joined devRant a week ago...I use it almost all the time... Can't even think about uninstalling it...It feels like all my brothers in arms are here....I love this new home.

If I have to draw out a normalized database on paper one more time I think I might split myself into multiple indexes

I’m so used to having a shitty PC that every time it runs smoothly I start to think something’s wrong

Naming my psd file for the n-th time: superimportantrevisedfinal-final-draft.psd. I think it's time to move design stuff to a repo ffs.

I feel terrible today. My life doesn't have any purpose! I think it's time....

To install Kali Linux as my main system and start learning Brainfuck

OMG it’s 4 am, and I think I made a stupid fucking mistake and waste everybody’s time. Need to check right now

*check*

Ah nah, we’re good. I am not a moron

I think it's time to restart. 🙂

Someone asked me what a full stack dev is... I replied:

"A highly sought after programmer with the world of opportunities and no time to pursue them."

I think I nailed it.

Every time I think
"Who the fuck coded this peace of garbage"

And then git blame the file

Only to see that it was me... 3+ months ago

My flight to Frankfurt leaves at what time? Ah, OK, I think...

I think I've posted more this week on DevRant, than I have during the entire time I've had Facebook

I think every programmer goes through this time every day....

#Don't wait for inspiration, become it. #balls

The reason people never leave a Linux distro is because they spent so much time setting it up their minds are just mentally exhausted to ever think of doing it again.

For some reason you're always gonna think it didnt work the first time

If i spent all the time that I did on programming on any other thing I think that I would have a gold medal or a nobel prize by then.

First time having 2 monitors and actual full size desk inside my own apartment. Very liberating and I should take advantage... nothing beats the privacy of your home where you can think uninterrupted!

I think it is time to go for 10Gbit

"It's sad to think that some people crave a commute because it's the only time during the day they have to themselves." 👀

A software is just a list of bits or we can say binary digits. Next time you developed an application just think you've just found a big "Magic number"! 🤗

My first times today:
First time a droplet on Digital Ocean.
First time Nginx.
First time trying to separate mail and website servers.
First time using UFW firewall.
First time Ubuntu webserver.
First try all alone configuration of my webserver.
First time installing all the stuff I need on my own, like MySQL, PHP and so on.
First time only SSH access from the beginning.
First time deployment from bitbucket.

Do you have any advise what I should think about. Or what software I will need. Or what I should think about.

C : Cool (for me)

Java : Just A Variety Available (uhm.. no hard feelings java lovers)

Python : Please .. You THink On Nothing (You literally think on nothing xD )

JavaScript : Join A Very Attractive , Sophisticated Code , Reactive In Particular Time (hmm...that took a lotta time)

"Unable to capture the screen
This application or your company does not allow you to take screenshots."

I think it's time for root...

Me: I think we should implement some kind of unit tests.

Lead: No time everything will take twice as long.

* some of my code accidentally breaks some of his *

Lead: I think we should implement some kind of unit tests...

When something like this happens i just think that its
now time to leave the world!!!! 💥

I know i'm late to week 119... but I just finished assembling my desk.

Pardon the taquito, it's lunch time and I missed breakfast.

I think my desk has a built in whiteboard... 😂

I hate all of the people that think "agile" means "do everything at the same time, with no cost". Or, other fuckwits, think that "agile" means "fuck plans, dev team will figure something out".

Both of these types apparently did not read any publication about the subject.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I can't help but think the red headphones in the avatar are Beats. Those are terrible headphones! PLEASE ADD SOME NON DECREPIT BLACK ONES.

It makes me angry every time I see them.

That moment when you execute "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y" just because you need time to think about how to solve the real problem.

The history has witnessed that every civilization has a downfall and I think it's the time for better civilization than Facebook

Ever find when you're working on a personal project that you spend more time trying to think of good names for classes than actually writing code?

Coworker that is a "Senior Software Developer": ”Well, websites crash all the time, so we don't need to address that bug. Users will think it's normal.”

#weneedanotherplague #youaretheproblem #seniordevelopermyass

I think I need to focus more on work than to spend time here.

Any non tech people think you're crazy when you talk about time in decimals?
I said 1.75 years, I nearly got sectioned. Lol

When you think you've either found a bug in Python, or you're going insane, so just to double check, you make two mutually exclusive assertions that could never both be true, and yet, your tests still pass.

I think it's time to find a new job.

I think one of the main disadvantages of working at Uber is that you should explain you’re an engineer not a driver every time someone ask you about your job

Every time my Linux crashes, I think I should stop doing random shit with my system....
And couple of days later I have the same thoughts.

Got feedback after job interview #33:
Yeah we don’t think you have enough corporate experience...

YOU COULD HAVE READ THAT IN MY RESUME BITCH! STILL YOU SPEND MY FUCKING TIME AND GAS!

If I see "React is revolutionary" one more time....

If you think React or React Hooks are innovative or are implemented correctly or performantly at all, you're a sheep.

fuck.
I think when you need 20 minutes to figure out that you tried to use (0) to acces array values instead of [0] in Java it is time to go to bed.

Be current.
Don't teach just languages, teach how to think programmatically
Make laptops more essential than notebooks when you're teaching
Spend more time on trying to solve problems rather than giving the textbook solution

Thank you devRant for the 2x sticker combo!! :) ( Usually it's just 3 stickers I think)

It's time to spread the word! :D

Hell yeah! This mess of random colors took me two evenings to write because I forgot to think before I typed the first time.

My dev superpower would be finding bugs instantly, because I think looking for bugs is the most time consuming part in programming.

"Please don't break. Please don't break."

This is all we ever think about when making a half-baked software just in time before the deadline 😂😂😂

Every time I hear someone saying JSON I think of this

If my boss says "Don't think in the solution space; think in the problem space" one more time, I'm gonna start crying in pain and banging my head against a robot. 🙄😂😂

any of you like your job? I'm so used to reading rants, sometimes i think everyone is just depressed all the time

- have a cool idea
- the idea is way too ambitious
- think about it for a few days
- start coding
- lose interest and never touch it again after 4 days

Every time.

Just redid my setup, first time in a year. What do y’all think?

Razer Ornata Chroma Keyboard, Razer DeathAddee Elite mouse.

Starting new game development project.

Coder:" ok guys, I think that this time we have to focus much more on sprints management and documentation"

Designer:"Ye, this time we should use better scrum software, like jira or youtrack"

Artist:"but Asana has the unicorns when you complete a task"

Brought my mechanical keyboard to work for the first time, I think they're gonna get tired of the constant CLACKA-CLACKA-CLACKA real soon

Me : I like making games,I think I will take that as my career.

Dad : *like every generic Indian Parent* Games are waste of time, use your skills to make something productive !

Every time the support suggest that I update and then restart my computer, I can't help it but think:

"oh crap they don't know shit about what causes this bug 🐛"

Why to worry about what to build? I have unlimited time na? I'll think later ☺️

I think it's time for you to power down.

Me.
Because every time when I see my old code, I begin to criticize it and think how can I improve it.

...I think. THINK. That I might have indeed spent too much time in front of the computer...

A burden has been lifted off of me. The burden of social media. I hate it with every ounce of my soul(except twitter and devRant). The amount of time wasted it is unreal. Deleted my instagram last night and my snapchat this morning. It feels so good!!!!! Sure my classmates think I'm crazy but it is worth it. No negativity more time to focus, work and game. I think it is a huge win.

I think the time has come to start getting serious about unit tests... 🤓

Time is money.
…and you get what you pay for.

–My co-worker

Apparently my boss doesn't think implementing Clippy.js as an April's Fool joke on our clients 6million euro per year webshop is "valuable use of development time".

ITT graduate in 2005. I think I'm the only student in my class that actually got a career out of it.

This has been a long time coming.

@tahnik has been fighting me for days over which one looks better. Time to see what you guys think.. top or bottom

Every time I see you guys write SCRUM I think about SCROTUM so stop. no homo

Happens all the time. I think this life chose me 😤

Do you think that "Work From Home" or "Remote Work" tends to reduce the work life boundary for the employees?

What I think is that Managers feel fine pinging employees at any time of the day. And as employees either you get good at ignoring messages or work outside the working hours.

This has become pretty standard from our current broadband provider. Think it's time to move elsewhere...

It's upsetting to work on something, spend my time and mind on it, for someone to just undo it. The worst part is that i think i'll have to redo it next week.

A year ago I ranted, that I understood JavaScript callbacks.

That was a lie. I knew nothing.

But I think I scratched the surface by getting into functional programming this time.

What do you guys think about TypeScript? Does it worth time to learn the syntax? Also what is the relation between Angular 2 and TypeScript?

I've just checked my server's auth logs and my god that's a lot of failed ssh login attempts.

I think I'll install an ssh honeypot to waste these peoples time...

Our QA team love writing really awkward bug tickets

No reproductions steps

and every time i see one appear all i can think of is this

In a lecture hall
1. Try Listening to lecture
2. Finds it uninteresting
3. Think that you can later learn from video tutorials
4. One day before exam -- No time to learn..

Big event today! I will be publicly previewing a project we’ve been working on for almost a year now for the first time.
I wonder what they’ll think.

Every time I read a team member's code I feel like I get immediately closer to them. Like all of a sudden I see how they think a little more clearly.

Think before you do. Both in life and while developing it'll safe you time.

You should also try not to overcomplicate things.

I don't think it's a coincidence that my internet disconnects for a few seconds when i click link to porn sites.

Happy everytime time :/

“Hey, can you add this thing in your dev. I think it’s nothing, 2-3minutes...”
Yeah, every time..

i think it's a waste of time and resources to memorize syntax and other stuff you can google. since we have a lot of material available, we should focus on logic, more abstract concepts, stuff you can't copy paste. well, I think that should be the way in every area, not only CS

And for my next trick I close my ide and still think about work stuff all the time -_-

Sometime we forget who we really are.

We aren't dumb guys with no future and it's time to remember this to yourself.

We're losing time in our lives, let's just use it as we think is better to.

I think it's about time I Dual booted my Home PC with Windows 10 and Ubuntu GNOME. Been living the Windows exclusive life for to long.
It's all about having options.

Had a bug that I just couldn't figure out. How did I solve it? Had to think like a user. Just started clicking options over and over. Not giving it time. Found my issue.

This pic keeps me motivated.
It says Great work need time to build their Empire.
What you think??

Designers, if you're on revision No. 12 and have changed every element of a design it's not a 'tweak', it's a sign you didn't think it through the first time...

I think it's the first time in my life I've visited a google-owned page and got a default NGINX webpage.

I think this is a new record... # of "Productionized" personal apps running at once

... Or maybe it means its time for another full reboot...

Client just said to me "we'll give you a 'speed' payment to deliver the website faster, you just charge us what you think is right". WTF!

Blank cheque time... :)

I think they are afraid of me :)

Last time I pushed them harder than anyone ever did since their tools I have to rely on precisely were unstable. Now each time I ping their channel in Slack I get immediate ack responses from their manager and architects .

Nice :)

Finally over this sickness I think. Time to start coding again :)

Every time my news feed says "Giant meteor potentially can hit the Earth in 2025 blah blah blah....."

I think to myself - Please, end it all already. Wipe the planet away.

People who think MATLAB is worth my time are not worth my time.

So after getting my question down-voted & deleted in SO, I thought of trying my luck here.

As a recent graduate and unemployed, Do you think I should focus on one web platform or I should know a bit of everything and then later on I focus on one platform when I get my full time job? or what do you think I should do?

I have experience with Laravel (mid-level) and asp.net core (beginner level).

Thank you for your time.

I don't :< Honestly, it's just something I don't really think of and I either waste time or do actually work. No need to push myself

I think this is the first time ever on my team where I read someone else's source code and actually went "wow... This is pretty well written and structured". No god methods or classes.

People think Machine Learning is all about using Super Complex Prediction Models...
But turns out to devote most time in data gathering and data cleaning(preprocessing).

I think 4PM is a always a perfect time to assign new critical tasks - QA

Just wanted to start a personal project and guess who think it's the best time to update right now?

THANK YOU WINDOWS 😥

Maybe tomorrow

Been trying out WebStorm for my html and js instead of my coding in my usual vim setup today. I think I may have converted. Only time will tell.

I’ve been stressed a lot lately and I think I’m just gonna let myself chill, evaluate where I am in my life, and enjoy my fucking zoomer time while I have it.

Every time I appy for an IT job I can't stop to think about the time I accidentally wrote my root password to a discord group chat instead of the terminal window next to it.

Who else hates Teams here? I really think it's one of the worst programs I have to use from time time. It's full of overly complicated features and bad UX design. Slack is soooo much better and more user-friendly.

Started work at a call center recently, really hoping things work out since it's full time, if you're inclined I'd appreciate some help toward that stress ball, I think I may need it soon...

I watch videos online in 2x or more speed most of the time. It saves me time. Anyone? I use a browser extension to easily control the speed via rhe keyboard. I think it's called Video Speed Controller or something.

8 beds total, 5 bookings made, 5 still left...

I think I need to go back to class 1 and study matha again... This time, properly!

Postpone this one last time!???
The fuck you think you are Windows.

Are there people here who actually unit/integration/end-to-end/stress test (almost) everything? Or is it a common fact that nobody has time/budget and/or needs to do so?

I like to think I test all the code I write, but to be honest, I think it's closer to 1 to 5%

Sometimes i think playstation devs are using windows, because every fucking time:

Open-plan offices are amazing. Fuck you developer who sometimes really needs some quiet time​ to be able to THINK.

I think I bombed a phone interview big time. I'm fucking frustrated with myself.

Why the hell am I so talkative!!!!!
I think it's better I work alone so that I be less of an annoy for others...
Side-effects of me working at day time..
Missing working at night time all alone..

I think it makes more sense to divert IT budget to building a time machine.

It would be cheaper than trying to fix all these problems, and just as effective.

best place to ask stupid developing questions is?

For example: I've been developing in html, css, jquery, PHP for the longest time and I think it's time to learn node.js and / or react. Where should I start?

I think I will spend some valuable time on devRant and then go back to sleep.

I have *created* a new team member :) I think he alone could replace most of the team.

Kind of makes you think what have we been doing with our time all those years. If all that work can be automated :/

When you think maybe these Christams will be better. No! They fucking won't. I hate this time of the year so fucking much.

What do you think about class-based OOP vs. Prototype-based OOP?
I think that class-based OOP is an unnecessary abstraction of structs, functions and global variables most of the time.

First time today trying a sensory deprivation chamber.

All I could think was
"error no input signal"

I think I've stepped into a part of Google that has been already buried some time ago.

I hate sleeping, I always think about the possibility of the work I can do in the time I would have saved from not sleeping
Lou
Looks like a waste of time, but can't skip this one!

If the corporate work life needs to be taught in school, what do you think the subject would look like?

For example, I think time management and people management should have been there.

* vacation + flight mode

* being VERY clear thay each interaction with you will significantly prolong your delivery time, hence next time your estimates will be artificially increased to compensate for such disturbances [think like 2days to change a button color instead of 20 minutes]

Trying to use docker for the first time, and getting nowhere. I think I'm actually unlearning how to use a computer.

Deployed to production on Sat evening while drunk, surprisingly everything went smoothly. I think this was the first and last time I'll be releasing like this, lol.

Similar stupid experiences anyone?

Today I accessed DevRant and once again I've only seen posts that were unrelated to development. Politics, anti-activism, american stuff that only americans know, and so on. Since I think the community enjoys this content now, I think it's time for me to leave, after 6+ years here.
It's been a pleasure!

Deliberate and fully conscious procrastination. Distract yourself deliberately every few hours. Do something completely different in your free time and when procrastinating.

Also, take your time, think things through.

When debugging obvious typos and "impossible" causalities that you still not see after reparsing the code the tenths time - calm down, procrastinate a bit, and restart debugging - discarding assumptions and result from the previous tries.

The best invention of all time is copy and paste. Can you imagine without copy and paste in your machine/devices? I don't think so...

Every time I'm asked to fix an application written in Visual Basic I think a part of me dies inside

Having to work for clients sucks. They are so rude. "We sent an issue over yesterday and it's still not fixed". You think you're our only customer? You think this shit is automated and takes no time to fix? You think you have resources working on you stuff 24/7. You don't man. Get in the queue and be grateful a load of time and effort goes in to your website. Sit down and stfu. Ahhh... that's better.

While waiting at the airport for my flight I’ve received no less than four emails from a competing airline. I think it’s time to check my location settings on the other airlines app.

is there a google docs for ides? like, real time editing where you can collab while you are?

i think that would be cool.

anyone else?

I‘m curious what you guys think about puzzle games with timers.

I personally hate it to be pressured by the timer. And I hate it when the puzzle resets and I need to start from scratch because I ran out of time.
I prefer to take my time and think about the next move rather than rapid fire my moves by intuition and hoping to get lucky.

Yet so many puzzle games have timers. Is this just lazy design? Do you like timers? What do you think about this?

Never got a bad experience. The only bad part I could think of is I'm the youngest and always solo coding all the time. It's pretty fun tho.

I think it'd be cool if we put together ctf events, so people could learn bash, PowerShell, etc., by solving puzzles. It'd be a nice collaboration, and people can learn at the same time.

Took a college class - think it was called "Programming for Designers" - and the "teacher," aka CS grad student, just sat and played Pocket Tanks the whole time.

the first time I opened StackOverflow actually I think.

At least that was the first time I understood how much I still don't know about any topic at any one time.

Since then I think I was humbled enough to just assume I know nothing all the time and just being glad when I get to help someone with their problem

You know, i think making a linux distro where it's ubuntu but "Sudo" is swapped with the word "Please" would be a good use of knowledge and time

First time I have heard of codementor.io

Sounds interesting kinda like desperate times needs desperate measures. Just gotta need to pay some $ for it. What do you think?

Soo, how long is "to much time" to think of a commit message?

I'm conflicted on whether it's worth the time in uploading my app to the google play store. What do you guys think?

In this company waste time is a must.

So everyday at 4pm Stretching time.
Im waiting for my PM to answer me on slack

I think when the deadline comes and I aint finished I should strecht. In the meeting.

What do you think how much time will it take to crack Creative Cloud 2019?
I bet 2 weeks from now.

"If Ernest Hemingway, James Mitchener, Neil Simon, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Pablo Picasso could not get it right the first time, what makes you think that you will?" - Paul Heckel

I've just heard from the business person that we are giving high estimates on the projects delivery time out of spite. Are you fucking kidding me. All of that just because they wrote Hello World and they think they now better how much time it will take.

Today the connection is so slow. What if I call directly to the server sysadmin to send the request by phone dictating every single bit? I think i could waste less time.

Made my first creation with bunifu tools for vb.net Its an injector. I think it looks nice .p (for the first time)
PS: a friend wanted that name. Not a fan of that .d

Sitting at the local RSL, writing my book while downing a few great northern's after work, don't think I could be spending this time any better!

I remember when I was child spent a los of time playing Mario. I think I started to code cause my love to videogames.

Question - my field is information security (or cyber security if you want to think of me as a time lord), but I wanted to know;
Front end and back Devs, how much time do you spend on security issues and/or implementing security measures?

I have to press ctrl+s to save current changes every short time in coding..
I think one human should write a plugin or script for this problem😆

I think it's time to make a devrant bot automatically downvoting spam posts and spin it as 2 instances. Any takers? :)

fight automatism with automatism

robot fights of 2024 😁

Worst experience of 2020 for me was:
👎 that I had 0 time to code my side-projects.
Best experience of 2020:
🙃 can't think of anything good haha

I used to think work from home have lots of pro like we can save our travel time, don't need to dress-up etc and I always wanted to do wfh. But this Covid-19 pandemic made me to hate work from home now I want to go back to office so that I have fix in-time and out-time and proper 8 hr work time.

Time management. Maybe it's not really dev related, but I think it's very important. Trying to get better every day.

I think critical time sensitive situations and windows updates are made for each other.🥰

I think, it's the time, when even selling my organ couldnot let me "stay Hungry and foolish"

I think I was having an allergic reaction today and got scared out of it when I remembered the last time it happened.

I've just recently discovered devrant and every time I open it I think «why didn't I thought of this first». It's so cool!

I think my life is too short to insert usb correctly in a single time

USB sounds to be a backup project just in case USA fails!!!😤😤

.....but at the same time I think that USB is a bee which comes from America🙊🙊

If you ever stop to think:
"Why does the world experience turmoil from time to time?"
You have to stop and realize that the Earth itself is bipolar.

@trogus @dfox
Bitcoin hits ATH again!
I think it's time we had a Bitcoin t-shirt for avatars!

Did you ever think time estimations are hard? If so, did you ever try adding your actual taken time months after working on a ticket?
