So I visited my aunt's house a few days back.
They heard I write code (read: Google and copy-paste from Stack Overflow), and wanted me to help repair their computers.
Saw my cousin playing Battlefield 4 at sub-20 fps with a GTX 750 Ti on the lowest settings. His fucking CPU fan was bust, and judging by the amount of dust in his system, I literally thought he was cramming dust in there on purpose.

After a heavy dusting, another stick of RAM (4GB -> 12GB), a new heatsink (CoolerMaster T400i), and a fresh copy of Windows 10 (along with Office, etc.), he could play games at 60+ fps again.

What do I get? Not even a fucking thank you. Just a "you done yet? I want to play video games."
I mean... Gee. Your cousin flew all the way to a new continent, spent his precious vacation time helping you out, and all he gets is a cold-ass shoulder.
Even my fucking ex gave me more than that.

Can't stop laughing.... Brilliant post...

Awesome answer to client.

"my app is so awesome you don't even have to close it, it crashes itself automatically. "

Anyone ever noticed the names Github gives to their releases for Github Desktop?

I'm assuming this is a repost. But regardless, how the hell have I never seen this before?!
This is the best desktop ever!!

If only it was this simple. Hi all, im new, I found this app while window shopping the play store, after reading some of the daily post, I think im gonna stay :) i wish your code the best. *returns to staring at compiling error for the next 3 hours*

Well at-least now I know why I haven't been able to login.

F***ing windows, spent ages repairing a database table only for windows to bloody BSOD at 97% complete 😡

How do mobile sites know when I'm about to tap a link, and then load something and shift everything so that I tap the wrong link?

And once again, Ikea has saved me a bunch of money!

Hey what sup peeps new here!

Finally found an app she can't quit! Vim!

// TODO create awesome rants here to entertain other devs to earn lot of upvotes to get a devRant stressball

Shpuld I put on git?

When a Python script runs at startup

Some people go to party's on the weekend, some people try new desktop environments. Pantheon this weekend !

"I'm not ugly. I just reduce my graphics to have better performance."

(Sorry, just couldn't resist, after I was lucky enough to see this before another ++ came in)

True mate

I'm working on a larger web project for authorities that went live yesterday.
I also trained the staff for the last two days so that everyone knows how to register an account, use the application etc.

Got the first call today: "I can't create an account...the website does not start".

Uh..okay...what the? >_>

Turns out, the user entered the URL in Google Search and wondered why nothing happens and why the website does not load.

Wow... and that was just the first call.

-Why are you still alone?
-Me :

Who else keeps misreading pom.xml?

Waiting for my last build to finish before i get loose for the weekend

The last software I worked on in my previous company (a few months back), was a temporary replacement because they were switching techs. It was meant to be replaced within 2 years.

So, before I left, I added a kill. 2 years and 2 months into the future. First it spams the devs with emails "how is the tech upgrade going?" with no further clues. 6 months later it will start throwing random exceptions at random intervals. 6 months after that it just terminates the application immediately upon startup. Snuck it in between large commits, and since they stopped code reviews when I left, doubt they found it.

There is a setting in configuration with an obscure name to disable it all.

I marked the dates in my calendar. Would love to be a fly on the wall then.

Last night I had a virtual machine up on my Mac running Arch Linux. I had 6 of my 8 gigs of ram allocated to the VM. Well I left it open last night when I went to bed and forgot about it this morning. My wife just called me at work to say something is wrong with the Mac. "Everything is running slowly and it looks different." I had to walk her through the process to shut it down, but she got to run her first Linux command: sudo shutdown now.

She is now calling herself a hacker...

It seems like I got addicted with devRant..... This app is better than any other social media.

Lol 😂😂😂👨🏻‍💻
