Is it just me sleeping 10+ hours in this covid times and still having problems getting out of bed and concentrating? 🤔

So
I received the laptop I got for granny. 17 fucking inches.
I'm legit jealous.
I mean, it's probably less suited for my goals because we almost exclusively looked for largest screen size possible, but damn.
I could do with a 17 inch display.

Fuck Mozilla! !!
Why do yu mess everything up
My app looks nice and neat in Chrome
Load up Firefox and the whole thing crumbles

>teacher: you need to enable your webcam so i can tell you aren't cheating
>me: sorry but i'm on a desktop pc, i don't have a webcam
>t: what do you mean? every computer i've seen has a webcam!
how do i explain this to him?
(for context he's like 60)

You know, I don't mind getting dragged if I deserve it. But it would be nice to have ALL the information I need to make an estimate BEFORE you hang me out to dry.

First I was told that work on this issue could be kicked down the road since we were getting big contracts. The next day the issue was in the sprint.
I tell you I won't be able to get it done with the business critical stuff you said absolutely had to be done that sprint (turns out we had 3 months of leeway even before COVID). You say alright cool. We push it to next sprint. The next day you say we have been pushing that issue too much and we absolutely have to get it done this sprint. At least have it so QA can look at it by Tuesday.
I give a preliminary look to QA cuz I found a bug, but they can test other shit about this fucking issue, but then get shut down fucking again because it isn't code complete.
STOP. MOVING. FUCKING. GOAL POSTS. AND. GASLIGHTING. ME.

And as a bonus, I disagree with the necessity of this work in general. I think it's fucking stupid, unnecessary, and zero value added. It's a management jerkoff issue that is going to piss off all of our users.

Today I welcome a new bot into our little world.

Have you ever had the need to write "did you google it" before?

@lmgtfy will turn your comment into a lmgtfy search.

Just tag @lmgtfy and any text afterwards will be added to a search term. (Excluding emojis - because reasons)

lol

People ask me what are u worst at ? I say naming variables in my project

When you run Linux and the charger is hot

Junior developers:

"I have no idea how to solve this one problem; I'll never get good if I just keep Googling for the answer"

Senior developers:

*46 tabs open to Google and StackOverflow for one problem*

Gotta say, it's spot-on

Just spent the last hour working out how something worked because I didn't write any documentation and it was a hack in the first place. Damn You Past Me!

!dev
Fuck you google!!
Let me send a mail to my shitty internet service provider with abusive words as much as possible.

Fucking gmail rejecting my message as spam by content filtering.

Never did programming professionally so none yet and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon 😄

Colleague got a few statical electricity (or however you say that) shocks.

After yet another one:

Colleague: seriously, again?
Me: damn, that's quite shocking!
C: *blank stare* bro.... 😐

😄

6 hours into a 124gb upload and then the internet goes out due to a malfunctioning modem.

Just. Fucking. Great.

I don't think I could give the best advice on this since I don't follow all the best practices (lack of knowledge, mostly) but fuck it;

- learn how to use search engines. And no, not specifically Google because I don't want to drag kids into the use of mass surveillance networks and I neither want to promote them (even if they already use it).
- try not to give up too easily. This is one I'm still profiting from (I'm a stubborn motherfucker)
- start with open source technologies. Not just "because open source" but because open source, in general, gives one the ability to hack around and explore and learn more!
- Try to program securely and with privacy in mind (the less data you save, the less can be abused, compromised, leaked, etc)
- don't be afraid to ask questions
-enjoy it!

Simplified about as good as I can get it.

Any Android devs with critique?

I'm never going back to Google Cloud, AWS is the shit.

I'm fucking orgasming with how organized everything is, decent documentation, level of configurability, the integration of one service with another.

Just wow

I ordered an EEG signal decoder from A Dutch company. But it is stuck in Delhi due to the virus. When are they going to allow shipment of non-essentials ?

Don't send me a confirmation email that I successfully unsubscribed from your list you shit nugget.

Sometimes I hate when the requirements change in such a way entire projects have to be discarded..

I think my gambling addiction came back and then changed from playing Monopoly to playing the stock market....

I don't have my gaming PC since locking down at my parents' so maybe I'm just really bored and needed something to keep me occupied and interested...

It is Wednesday my dudes!!

Proud to finally be another supporter of devRant. I've made myself a promise (no pun intended) to support devRant as soon as I begin to earn some money as a dev. So here I am...
Thank you dfox and trogus for your work!

Ah why thank you Safari I didn't want my CSS animations to work anyway

Sometimes you have to walk away from people, not because you don't care, but because they don't.

Has anyone ever actually tried moving to a nice tropical place while making a good living working only 50% part time as a remote developer? It seems like it’s always a friend of a friend of a friend.

Being the only developer in your circle of non-tech friends is weird 😕.
And why are most female programmers not appealing 🤦‍♂️.
The beautiful ones are usually clueless and can't get into a ”deep programming concept ”conversation.
I guess I can't eat my cake and have it at a time.

1500+ likes to get rid of this Mac-like notebook in my avatar! Now THIS is something I like to rant about.

The brain named itself.
