A wise man once said.. Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.2

So a guy wants to start a company with me. He wants to be CEO 👨💼 I'm fine with it but now he also wants me to obey every one of his orders such as attend long unplanned meetings, go do market research, code the app and for what, a mere 5%. He gets a bigger cut of the income because he came up with the idea 💡, he also gets to sit and order me around because he's read a few books on business and economics. People don't seem to understand the difference between having an idea and implementation. I just left and said no to every offer he had the highest of which was 10%, don't be worried about the money he says this is a real opportunity for you. I mean wtf is wrong with some people.13

When someone at work says your Java multi threaded code is too advanced for other people to understand so you have to dumb it down. What part of constant learning in software they don't understand?

So tired of people hating on tools, frameworks, languages, libraries without investing the time to fully understand the offering.
Just because you don’t understand it, does not mean it’s shitty.3 -

The more time you spend on devRant the more you notice how people:
1) cant understand that other people use other tools
2) cant understand that they actually enjoy using those tools
3) cant understand that they can ship good software products and code using those very tools.
Just build something you think is cool using the tools you think works best for you.10 -

sometimes I can't understand how I got my senior web engineer position at my age.
but then I look at my fellow senior cursing about some stuff that he doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand (today it's npm) and then I feel ok again :D1 -
And on today's schedule, we'll be teaching the managers how to use a new dashboard, because not only do they not understand tech, they don't understand life!

Oh my god I love when you just have that "click" moment when you just understand EVERYTHING. I've been trying to understand how WordPress worked and found a great video series by Mr Digital on youtube and now understand the inner workings of WordPress instead of just the general aspect on how to install a theme or how to use a plugin.
People say there are tons of resources online but a very small amount of them actually work for most people. I just glad I understand it now.8 -

I feel like a lot of devs, last years self included.
Need to realize, a great Dev is not necessarily one that Ace in code.
But rather one that can convey and understand the problems they're to solve and more importantly the perspective of the end user.3 -

Designer: hey, can you add this thing
Me: Sure, but that's probably a day's worth of work
Designer: oh, I thought it was just a line of code
Me: 😑😡🤦♂️ -
working with UX/UI designers who don't understand the concept of style guides or reusable UI components is torturous, why don't they understand things work a bit different in real life than in Photoshop, Illustrator or Sketch

Hahah the other day I broke the bracket key on my keybord from pressing it while coding and had to buy a new one.
Everyone asked me how I broke the 0 key before the E.4 -

You know what pisses me off? When I don't know what a constant is used for so I check the documentation and this is what I see:

I still don’t understand git completely ,sometimes the error messages are so hard to understand I just make a new repository and push all my new updates there using GitHub desktop.7

I will never understand why my university is requiring me to take upper level physics. I understand the need to understand electricity and circuitry but this semester has been mostly quantum and I don't see how this will apply to development.9

designer: the distance from the baseline of the letter "p" to the bottom of the box should be 150px exactly. You are 4px off.
me: Erm... baseline?
designer: Yes. Not the "base" or the "beardline". It must be the "baseline" of the font.
me: uh huh....
designer: And it must be the same in all browser, chrome, firefox, internet explorer
me: Orite, lets save the whole Psd and <img src="whole-website.jpg"> Tada!5 -

There are two stages in programming.
The first is when everything goes smooth as heck, and you're a god.
The second is when everything goes to shit, and you don't understand anything.2 -
I can't talk to our management. It's not like they aren't present nor that I wouldn't find them. I'm infront of their office actually.
But apparently their room number of 505 suggests that they don't support a modern protocol version and I disabled my legacy support. This won't work. -

More beer and more music. Who needs more in life? 😌
Maybe I don't understand myself. But I understand that I'm happy. And that's what counts15 -
We are still using SVN because the management doesn't understand how git works.
And i don't understand why i am still working here...7 -
How the hell do I understand want people want???
I listen to them, I pay attention to them (for the most part), but for the most part when someone assigns me something but it is not clearly explained, they expect me know what to do.
I had the most unproductive meeting with this guy I work for because of this... he had a problem, so we worked on ideas for this solution, and I thought I knew exactly what he wanted. We were getting somewhere. I get ready to leave for lunch and it turns out that is not at all what he wanted. We're back to square one.
Is it me, or are people really bad at explaining things?5 -
My bash history today:

Flutter help please.
When creating a new website, code has the following:
MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);
What does {} content mean? Is it like Javascript, that there is an object passed and we take only those two params?
Because this is how they use it:
MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
I'm not sure what is the "key" thing7 -
A JavaScript developer want to understand my 1000+ lines pythonic python code without any prior knowledge about python and he just want to understand it so that he can translate it into js. What should i do?19

TL;DR: fear of bricking my laptop due to typo pinning.
The worst nightmare i am living in right now...
I was noticing i did need some software in sid so i decided to use apt pinning for said software...
I configure the system, ok test looks good... I push it to production, run it on the system....and the nightmare starts.
Lits of packages get updated, and i am screaming 'noooooooo' since debian sid softwarz can sometimes break everything! I discovered that i did test my apt pinning config for the presence of the amount of numbers, but not at their value... Sooo, by accident swapping pin numbers for stable and unstable you get... Your worst apt-get update nightmare...
I hope it does not become a brick.1 -
I don't think it's special to understand or create a complex and difficult algorithm (to a certain degree).
But I have respect for those (male) devs, who understand women/girls. -
My phone has a useless Google Discover page on home screen that I can't use without singing in with Google and agreeing to them collecting data. 😐
So now I have a useless page on my home screen. (Really, somebody needs to make a layering over app for this shit that just gets my preferred feed and fill it here to makes use of this space. )10 -

The worst is having to rewrite/refactor another person's implementation either due to not follow the requirements or specifications and having made something completely different or useless.
But recently is having to re-explain what needs to be done or what the requirements are.2 -
2GB of RAM on my iPhone makes things run smoother than 6GB on my Android.... I used to think more is better... My whole life was a lie8

The problem with extensive insider documentation is that experienced devs won't need most of it and unexperienced devs won't understand most of it
And whatever docs experienced devs do need is never what unexperienced devs do understand.2 -
The logic in a method reflected a truth table not obvious to understand. The first time I implemented tests for coverage as I didn't trust anybody to remember and understand the logic after a few weeks.1

Is it just me or others too feel that docker completely nailed it with their naming convention.
Like docker, containers etc are so aptly named by their functionality.1 -

rant on stackoverflow
For god's sake, newbies understand what we are saying. Don't just blindly write whatever the fuck comes to your mind.
Someone just wrote a website link in the answer and he is not even trying to understand that its an answer so include the solution not just the link.
IDIOTS!!!3 -
Anyone else ever have a boss not understand what you do so they give you 'busy' work instead?
Then also don't understand why you don't know how to do it -

A question.
I understand ads on browsers that use cookies, but I don't understand how I get the same ad on a mobile app say instagram, for a search I did on laptop browser?
Thanks in advance.5 -
If someone can shed some light on this behavior, would be appreciated:
I am running a couple of docker containers with lighttpd on my server (lighttpd is also installed on the host server for reverse proxy). Now whenever I kill lighttpd on my host server it also kills ALL the running lighttpd instances in my docker containers. Isn't docker supposed to be, idk, CONTAINERIZED?2
