This is how I feel after working, almost exclusively, with PHP over the last 4 years.

Liking this new feature already, thanks dfox

My friend is a css guy and he told me this

.illuminati {
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
}

At many places, first programming course is Python or JavaScript. Our university first teaches C. I feel its a great language to build up programming skills. Tough then formers and that's what makes it more beneficial.

When you changed a logic structure but the tests still pass.

Make sure the client has the money 🙏

TWO QUESTIONS:

1. Do you consider yourself a DEVELOPER or a PROGRAMMER?

2. How do you personally define each?

You know, sometimes I wish I had friends who knew how to code or new a bit about the programming world. Then I could show them my projects and they could help out of they wanted. I could also get them to properly criticize my designs and script. Instead of the ones that just scroll past your shit and say nothing at all, you know, people who would actually give a little bit of a shit. Sigh.

NGL on the weekend I love eating, drinking beer, and not coding. Granted if I want to code, I will, but I like that i can do it as a hobby and turn my coding brain off if I want to.

So do these guys count as rubber ducks? 😂

When you begin with searching for ajax PHP requests and end up with this

If the time comes when the traditional signing in with email dies out, I don't know how long I'm gonna last to the Internet anymore. I never liked the idea of having my accounts associated with these giants especially with Facebook.

Took the memory usage of a C++ program from 1.5GB to 700mb at work. Good times...

Me: *enters password on phone (long PIN)*
Person next to me is looking at my phone WHILE I enter my password, and as I look at him, he doesn't even turn away and even has the nerve to say:
"Wow, why do you have such a long password!"
Μy answer: "Because of security reasons."
What I actually wanted to say:
"Because of pieces of SHIT like you who can't keep their eyes to themselves, even when PASSWORDS are involved, you FUCK! Guess why everytime I enter a password in public, I have to dim my screen and turn my screen sideways? Because of fuckheads like you, not knowing shit about privacy and security! Fuck you!"

Get. This. Font.

You will ♥️ it.

*sees a bug on unprofessional website*
Me: tell the admin
Me to me: hack it

Fucking cache in browser made me think that code is still working untill I opened it in incognito.

When your API gives a successful response after 30 hours.
Pure bliss😇

It saved me from suicide.

You have to understand first that things in India work differently. Academics are not personal, but a social business. Academic competition in India is very high and not in a good way, or for the good reasons.

As a teenager was sent off from my home to the other side of the country. I didn't like it. My studies suffered, and I failed my exams. Came back home and faced months of emotional abuse (guilt trips, scornful comments, plain insults) from my parents, neighbours and relatives. Indian society is just built that way. They didn't know they were damaging my psyche, or they were too angry to care. Lots of other shit (lost friends, lost love) happened at roughly the same time period and everything started to fall like dominos.

I fell into severe depression. Lost appetite, lost sleep. Nothing mattered anymore. There were mornings when I would wake up and not get up from my bed for hours, and not even move a finger. Self-hate became the motto of the day. I became violent and anti-social. I would either be angry or trying not to break down and give up all the time. Many a night, I considered suicide. I would end up googling for easy ways out to take.

But what gave me a way out of the pains of my reality was programming. It helped my keep my head, figuratively and literally. It kept my mind distracted and gave me a sense of purpose. I would shut myself in, plug in my headphones, shut the world out and just experiment.

I am not saying that I am the best at what I do, but those sleepless and troubled nights, and many other similar nights over the years have given me a definite edge over my colleagues.

Even today, when everything is falling to pieces, I know I have something to fall back on. I still get episodes of depression every now and then, but I know I can always pick up a new project and distract myself. It probably isn't healthy, but eh...

I am alive. I code. I kick ass. My colleagues respect and value my opinion. I love my job.

Computer does what I tell it to do (mostly :p) and I feel good. Because for that small moment, I am in control of everything. For that infinitesimally small moment of my average, boring, and somewhat painful life, I am God.

You know you are in the wrong place when you've to use your Mouse more than your Keyboard...

Teacher : use"ransomware" in a sentence
Student : I used to know a girl, but then she ransomware
Whole class :

A big FUCK YOU to everyone who called me a nerd in high school.

Who's earning more now? Ha!
Jokes on you!

But seriously, I didn't realise intelligence is highly appreciated until I started working as a developer. 🤑

Beware of the neighborhood hackers

I now value mechanical keyboards.

Coding doesn't solve the problem, critical thinking does.

What was the weirdest thing you've done to get WiFi?

This was my birthday cake. Thanks mom!
