Pretty sure I’ve finally got over my anxiety of going to gym. Trying to move more during the day and get my weekly exercise in the mornings but my general anxiety messes up a lot.

Now I’m feeling pretty fresh for a full day of build errors 🙃

Can you finish the "X" by tomorrow. It is very urgent.

To all developers who think "I don't need to delete that one 1KB temp file"

FUCK.YOU.

You are not the only garbage developer who does not clean his shit up. The reason we need TERA FUCKING BYTE storage devices nowadays is because you incompetent shit heads have no idea how an application has to properly work. A temp file is not there to exist for ever. HENCE THE FUCKING WORD TEMPORARY

Debugging extra characters in my output all morning only to realize that they are my own debug messages . . .

This kitchen has been making some solid commits and PRs!

How many times do YOU visit devRant in a day?

Me? About 10-15 depending on how bored or eager I am to read all of y’all crazy rants.

P.S. this is like therapy without actually having to pay an asswad amount of money for an actual therapist or session.

P.P.S you are all AMAZING people and developers, I just wanted to share that with you all 😍❤️

My team lead is off this week and I was selected to be the "acting team lead". So far I have attended 73648283 meetings. Please pray for me!

Yep, this is definitely a node_modules folder. There‘re no other objects in the universe containing that much files.

Me, after 6 hours debugging a typo

Everyone greeted me this morning when I came in .... something must be broken.

>mail from Trello
>Mail reads: "Taco from Trello"
>My mind: "Wow, food!"
>Body: *moves mail to bin*

Dog logic..

this books may change your life.

PS: first rant, you guys are great

Finished my last audiobook and decided to start listening to Kevin Hearne druid series audiobook yesterday.

It’s really nice story about old druid ( looking like 20 something ) living in modern times in Arizona. Lots of Celtic mythology and great humorous dialogues.
I really enjoy it.

I visited the Computer Science professor at a university. He has a library of ducks.

Starting at CERN in 45 days :D Can't wait!!!

(Coffee/water) drinking strategy: Everytime I rerun the project, I take a sip.

Ran into a devRant user at a random bar in NYC last night. Super cool meeting you in the wild!

I just finished my thesis defense, one of the committee members obliterated me with incredibly difficult questions but it was so much fun to respond to this 40min smackdown after presenting all my work in 50 minutes. The battle has been won ladies and gentlemen, I am incredibly happy.

Accidentally hugged my boss. It's fine, I can't have more than 100 years left to carry this memory around anyways.

GIT PUSH LIVE

This little guy came and went in between my arm and my belly. He must be having a rough day. Just kinda glad I can make it better :)

The past few weeks were not so good to me, but guess what, I got hired today. And now, i'm thankful that i got rejected from the previous ones. Wish me luck on my career as a junior dev. :)

Catching a NullPointerException so that it can cause another NullPointerException to the caller. 🤯

1. Socializing with lots of people is tiring (if it’s a few then it’s okay)
2. I want to build something useful around me
3. It looks cool

I've seen a lot of people design great websites here on DR. Since I'm being dragged into quite a bit of front end, I've decided to quit complaining and up my design game. Suggestions and advice on good design considerations?

Our creative lead sent me a few reference websites that had a lot of "wow factor". It had stuff like trailing text animations, slow motion menus and what not. For some reason, I found all of it to be annoying and pointlessly bloated. I'm more into minimalist design and simple transitions but idk if this is just my taste or lack of competence in making such fancy ass design that makes me not appreciate such sites. I need advice and I'm not sure on what. You'd probably know what if you've been in a similar situation before.

I'm quite happy with my job as a full stack web developer, but I'd like to have a raise.

Is there any reliable source helping me finding out what I'm worth? I have no idea how much more I can ask from my boss.

Living and working in germany btw.

When your product team doesn’t properly test before launching a new feature. 😂

German auto correct in Apple Mail.

Instead of writing a customer this:
"Dear xxx, I finished your paginator."

I wrote and send this:
"Dear xxx, I finished your pakistani."

He wondered but took it with humor :)
