Dear programmers everywhere who keep your blogs running for years after you stop posting: Thank you!

I fucking hate data science now.

After years in frontend, I still have to google how to link css and script files in html.

After 7 years my mouse finally died. Farewell little clicker :'(

Just broke up with my ex-girlfriend after 2 years of relationship. This might sound strange but scrolling after scrolling on dev rant is actually helping me getting through this situation!

I open my 8 years old PC to clean it.

5 seconds after I open it:

I repared my pc. Total cost: 1 €.
Still runs after almost 2 years xD

Feeling blessed, left the army after 5 years, 3 deployments, to attend 3 years of computer science school and get a stable lifestyle.
I've got a supporting girlfriend, mentally never felt better, and for the next 3 years, this is my seat and view in class !
Happy coding all, and have a nice day✌️

After countless Google searches for the past 3 years, I've written a small script to get my internal & external IP addresses with one command!

After some searching I found a solution on stackexchange.

The solution was a reference to a patch that I created a couple of years ago :)

Got my first dev job as a fullstack node.js dev!!!!

4 years of IT boredom is finally over!

WOOHOOO!
😎😁

Coding completely changed my life. After roughly 8 years in construction management, and one rough divorce, I decided my life needed a change, so I dropped my high paying construction job and learned web development. 3 years later learning to code was the 2nd best decision I ever made (1st was to get a divorce)

After three years of using docker, I can safely say "it just works" was a lie.

After 5 years of neglect I have finaly found some time to work on an old project of mine.

After a 4 year CS college completed and 3 years of java experience I have found the biggest challenge of my life when my gf asked me to teach her programming. After explaining 10 times what a class and an object is , I started to understand how frustrating is for a teacher with a shitty pay to teach an know-it-all dumb fuck to write a hello world after 2 years of college.

We had to learn flash and actionscript because it is the future of the Internet! That was only 2 years ago. Apparently that teacher also added silverlight after I graduated...

So after being in this role for 4 years we have finally got to the point where there are 0 outstanding bugs/issues with our software.

Curious, does anyone else that’s been in the tech/IT field for more than 5 years feel like we’re just solving the same problem over and over again, albeit with different tools as the years go by? Or am I just too grumpy to stay in this field after trudging it out for 20+ years?
