When will Microsoft stop ruining good products?
Xamarin was a decent enough platform untill MS got a hold of it. Now, you never know what the next update will break.
Skype is already lost to the MS darkness.

*Trying to finish up this project I'm doing*

Me: "Fuck this shit I'm done shit doesn't work"

*non-dev girlfriend sits in front of computer*

GF: "I believe this line shouldn't be here it messes up what happens in the loop. Or atleast that's what it looks"

*checking it*

Me: "So what's your ring size again"

Acceptance

It's weird reading about everyone bitching about their PM / manager, and I'm here and have the best boss anyone can ask for. I work from home whenever I want, if I work extra I can always take that extra time off. If I work weekends I get 100% overtime pay. If I want to learn new tech for a project he tells me to go nuts.

What I'm really trying to say here is.. in all yo faces I guess. \o/

Fuck NDA, if client doesn't pay me then I'm going to make their open in Github.

this feels very true sometimes. lol

My brother just started learning web development. Day 1 of playing on his own domain, and he breaks his WP install twice in an hour. He sends me the following text:

This is like a horribly frustrating game.

Best summary of software development I've ever heard, and it's only his first day.

Yo got job in AMD

Me when I read about another JS framework, gulp module or workaround for using ES2016 features today.

So I have an ancient PC at home that has been refusing to boot for the past 3 days. It somehow magically worked this morning and THE POWER WENT OUT FOR 1 MILLISECOND WHILE I WAS WORKING AND IT'S NOT WORKING ANYMORE GODDAMMIT FLUCTUATIONS WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME

Have people using React actually read the license agreement? Basically, if Facebook want your app, they can develop a similar, and revoke your license to React...

The only programming joke I know is my code...

When your phones micro SD card has a bit more storage than expected

Windows logic is unmatched

Consulting

I am pretty decent developer but ended up in Quality assurance :/ it hurts me when people are having awesome discussions about coding amd I am performing dumb tests.

my cousin wants to buy a new phone and asked for advice. (with advice I mean saying what he wants and hoping I agree)

*talks about lumia 930.
me: you won't be able to use these apps x,y,z......
him: why not it has better specs than mine. bla bla.... you will see.
week later
him: phone doesn't have Play Store installed. can you do it?

GF away, playing with my son the whoole weekend :)

Lesson of the day: Never ever force push to fucking master.

Do you have any funny comments in code?

*sigh* Recruiters....amiright?

WINDOWS - Will Install Needless Data On Whole System

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think: "I know, I'll use multithreading".

Project management isn't so useless a discipline after all

Hahaha

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's proclaimed "Microsoft Loves Linux."

What's his medication?

Some time ago a salesman tried to sell me a super revolutionary solution. He introduced it with "today everyone will tell you that in order to save money you must move your servers and IT infrastructure on the CLOUD (big emphasis on the word) but we offer you a different approach: 'the on premise cloud'"
😶"so, you're basically telling me to replace my local machines with other local machines?"
😎"you don't see the whole picture: It's the cloud but INSIDE your company"

Am I dumb and I didn't see the obvious technology leap he was offering me?

Good rule of thumb to follow when posting on devRant: if it's not a rant, we've all seen it before. Yes, we've seen that xkcd comic, or that programmer translation, that binary joke, and just about every other programming joke ever made. I know that people join at different times and may not have seen it, and there's no way they're going to sift through even a month's worth of rants to find it.

But we can decide as a community to just keep the posts to rants? Those are much more entertaining than these posts pleading for a stress ball. You get a stress ball when you rant. The more you rant, the more you clearly need a stress ball.
