I put a lot of work into trying to explain to you muggles what I do all day in a way you can understand (it's hard, trust me) and you still reject it as boring nerd crap. I'm sick of it! What if you told me working at that restaurant is "putting water on plates, wiping it off, and putting meat and cheese between slices of bread" and I said "wtf is that, and who cares?" Wouldn't that hurt your feelings, that I didn't even attempt to make a connection with you, friend? That I didn't even attempt to step outside my experience to meet yours? Isn't it equally insulting how far you have to dumb it down, just for me to lose interest entirely? And yes, I know that's not your specific task. That only proves my point further.

And why, exactly? Conceptually, you handle pre-digested poop all day.
_I teach plastic to think._ Sometimes it even thinks better than you do.
How is my job less interesting?
And what's more, why does EVERYONE seem to think so?

How do you expect people like me to keep your iPhones, bank accounts, and self-driving cars working if you alienate us like an alternate species for building those things? I mean really. You people treat us with a disinterest harmonious with homophobia. "Don't ask, don't tell." Except you do ask. And then you condescend as if working with my brain makes me less worthy of your attention than your exciting minimum-wage restaurant job.

Have fun with that, by the way.

Oh, and you're welcome for <object I fixed that wasn't really broken>. Maybe next time, just google it.
I know you won't.

Will they be taking our jobs now? 😂😂

i once had a manager that would fuss at every little detail.

front end had to be pixel perfect on every freaking device he could find and the backend being over documented that one liners needed a bloody comment.

//is it true?
if( true ) {

}

anything needing more then 5-10 minutes to work out required several meetings to discuss every tiny aspect in detail.

drove me insane and glad i left!

Hello community. Joined this a minute ago and already in love with you.

Have a nice code. See u !

Difference between C# and Javascript
Me: Hold my cup of tea.
C#: That's not a cup of tea.
Me: Hold my cup of tea, with two teaspoons of sugar in it.
C#: That's not a cup of tea with two tea spoons of sugar in it.
Me: Hold my cup of tea, with two teaspoons of sugar and milk in it.
C#: That is not a cup of tea, with two teaspoons of sugar and milk it.
...
Me: Hold my cup of tea.
Javascript: I'll hold your cup of coffee.

Everything jetbrains. It has so much increased in performance and usability over the last couple of years and is the perfect tool for me.

DevRant should have a questions and awenser in the more tab so when people have question about DevRant, jobs and other things other people could awenser, I belive that is a good way from keeping rants and memes in a place and Q&A in other place

Well, I got the free stickers months ago. Since then, I still don't know, where I should use them, so now I'm just protecting them in the letter.

VS Code. I can do pretty much anything without leaving the window: git, grunt, terminal, etc.

Rstudio. Also nothing better is available for R. Although inconvenient in a small screen.

Got error: I am such a noob programmer, dumb, I hate my life, I hate programming... *cries like a kid*

Error fixed: I am God!

Vim. For all the quick things I need to edit and for all the large things too, vim is always a trusty too. Specifically neovim.

Photoshop,...

because why use an:

IDE / editor,
terminal,
SASS/LESS compiler,
package managers,
git,...

when you can make your website as a photo, slice it up and export to html. EASY PEAZY

What wrong with the MNC's. I am trying to create a new folder for email templates in DEV server. I have been busy for two days to take the approval from Manager, Infra team and architect. Are you serious two productive days to give approval to create a folder???
Fuck the system. Fuck you MNC.

Android studio,
I'm in love with the multiple cursor
And with the thing that you can right click +Ctrl vars/classes/files/functions
And it will take you to them/to where they are mentioned

So, since almost a week I was trying to get familiar with Algolia which was to be used as API for the search feature in our App. But now, we are going with Elastic Search.

Failing to return a value in a function result in a warning in gcc. Why isn't this considered an extremely dangerous error?

- git => did you use sourcesafe anytime?
- VS Code => because everyone is against MS ;-)
- hammer (for keyboard) => self explaining

I'll go with something not mentioned.

"Git for Windows"

Makes git on Windows so much better. One of those things I use daily but almost never reflect on

Did some contract negotiations with the company I work for a couple of months ago, when they offered me a promotion starting next month ... today I got the contract. Only one of the terms we have agreed is in the contract, of course that benefits them. No word about any promotion etc. Wrote to the guy in charge today but no answer so far. Should I just abandon ship or am I just to worried?

Fixing bugs is like scratching balls , if you're at it for too long and it hurts ....
It's probably time to try a different approach ....

For web dev/designers: How much did you worked for a company before going freelance?

I bet that all web devs can confirm this.
-You spend hours writing the code, and then open it on google chrome but nothing works :-( so you try to fix it spending another hour and at the end of the day you think: "let me try with firefox" and magically everything works percectly. And after all this there is only one thing to do and is 'sudo apt purge google-chrome' LOL

We've told our client they can test their brand new distribution modul with a new test account already 42 times (not exaggerating, I counted). At least half these, we've sent also the test login data which they could use.
Just now, a new issue message from them says distributors couldn't see some data, we should fix the problem. Well, they already can't see those, but client has logged in with their own account again for testing...

JetBrains IDEs

I'm going to praise 1Password here.

I hate creating and remembering passwords. Now I can login to everything just with a click of a button.

I hate OpenGL. I want to stab it in the face. I am not a math programmer.

I am uneasy with these VCS integrated editors. I feel like not everything is gonna be added. I still use git bash when on windows.

Stumbled upon this link today. There's something for everyone on here. Enjoy and share it!

I usually don't comment on rents.
But when I do, I immediately "Mute Notif for this Rant (except @mensions)"

Hate notifications..
