A very Happy Diwali to all of you!!
- From India

That moment that you can help a customer with a highly technical question for the first time because you read something a year or more ago about that.

That feels awesome!

Reading other people's code is FFFFFFF&*^#^^%^kkkkkk

devRant just hit 50,000 downloads on Android (fancy new store badge, yay!). Thank you everyone for being part of this community and spreading the good word! @dfox and I have some fun new features in the works, exciting times!

Being a developer is like being a surgeon. Except a monkey tells you where to cut.

Chrome developer tools, without it I wouldn't be able to see all the errors generated by my awesome programmer skillz

Today, during the dev meeting I run, I was asked to "tone down" my language. The two obvious responses:

--language

Or my preferred method

Fuckthat++

All internships should be paid

I wish I could debug depression as well as I could debug code.

Today something amazingly incredible happened, I met a nice guy on stackoverflow, he even asked me if he could edit my question to make it better, and did not reproach me for asking a RTFM question.

Hate it when i spend hours upon hours implementing an algorithm/program (in C++ btw) and whenever I show it to someone... They r like
Them: Huh... Spent so much time to display JUST that?!

😭😭

Well... Only programmers understand the amount of time required to get things done...

Yes I Can....

Third day at the new job and I told a collegue about devRant and how great it is. He joined.

- "I wanna make games !"
- Bought a book about games and they stated about learning to code.
- learned to code
- never finished one single game :/

Life of a Developer...

Everyone else: HURRY UP!! WE NEED THIS YESTERDAY!! WHATS TAKONG SO F***ING LONG!!

Me: The documentation you have doesn't have all the information which I've repeatedly asked for

Everyone: silence ...

@dfox so is devrant turned out to be what you thought/hoped it'd be when you first started it, or is it different than the initial idea?

The CS class be like...

Why I love devRant:
You'll never receive bad or degrading comments.

If I post a picture of my hairy ass here, the comments would be like:
"There are good sides of having excessive hair."

On a whim, I bought
http://shackoverflow.com

What should I do with it?

🎂🍾🎂🍾🎂🍾

I think I'll never going to get a devRant stress ball, so i made this instead with my pretty low budget (0.5$).

Happy Pi day people!

"Sure ill join the meeting it's not like I'm busy with the project's deadline being this Friday and all"
My notes from the meeting:

When you complete creating a webpage and find that it's all wrong in every smart phone screen around you 😶

I'm starting to get the hang of this app.
I'm quite timid, I've only given a few +1s around.
I suppose this is my "Hello, world!" post!

I'll mail a brand new devRant squishy ball to the first 5 people who make a devRant-related tweet (including @devrantapp) in it and link to it in a comment on this rant. Go!

I really hate it when online sources aimed at educating people looking to get into programming attack specific languages. I'm ok with them recommending some good starting languages (ex. JavaScript, Python, etc.) but I find it extremely inappropriate and damaging when they list languages they consider "bad." Languages like JavaScript, PHP and Java constantly get called out even though they power a huge chunk of the web and services hundreds of millions of people use every day. IMO it's a huge disservice to tell beginners not to even look at these languages. We should be teaching the language isn't really what's important - it's what you build with it.

Ready to finally deploy and... merge conflict :/

"Working with legacy code that hasn't been touched in 2 years is fun!!" said no one ever.

When anyone tells you some app idea you have already heard a thousand times, do you throw a OutOfFucksToGiveException?
