Those feelings you get when you know @dfox can see you in he's rear view mirror.

One time was in a meeting with clients from abroad (big company with some offices in the US). After the meeting we went to a restaurant with the clients. Then one hour later our CEO shows up and starts tanking beers like crazy and gets super wasted. Then starts asking the client if they have a job for him in the US. He doesnt want to run his company anymore because all his employees are fuckung idiots blahblah. Then he asks me you understand right you have seen my employees they are fucking stupid. Uhm yeah dude I work for you... *awkward sillence, continues chugging beers, changes topic*

When will people understand that you can't get quality software made for $5 by some random from Fiverr? Just as I'm about to confirm a quick Freelance job they tell me they've found someone on Fiverr that will do it for a fraction of the amount. It's happening more and more. Don't get me wrong, I'm still getting plenty of work but I see it as a bit of an insult. Comparing the quality of work I do with someone who pumps out 5 programs an hour.

And yes, I do realise there are people on Fiverr that do care about their work, there just doesn't seem to be many of them.

The hour before i downloaded devRant i was a 9gager. Now i think i am devRanter.
Thanks dfox and trogus and all awesome people in this community. I am a fresh meat in dev world and here i learn so much things about real world i cant learn in anywhere. Cheers if you are reading.

A community of the devs, for the devs, by the devs.

The United Rants of Devs, aka devRant 😄

Finally found a place where I can relate. Where are you ranting from?
Honduras here 😄

EDIT: devRant April Fools joke (2017)
-------------------------
@trogus and I have had an absolute blast working on devRant over the last year. However, we're strong believers in only working on a project if you're passionate about it, and over the last few months, we've sadly lost some of that passion so we've to announce, with heavy hearts, that we will both be moving on. We've decided to focus 100% of our energies on our next product, one which we are confident has billion dollar potential: Semicolon JS (http://semicolonjs.com).

We identified this sizable market opportunity as we were building out the new devRant website. Every JavaScript framework we tried left us wanting more. More efficiency. More elegance. More extensibility. That's what Semicolon JS is: more. More than a framework, it's a guiding philosophy. We believe that Semicolon JS will do for front end development what Material Design has done for user interface design. We're calling it Semicolon JS because even though you can still develop JavaScript without it, like a semicolon, we think it will soon become a standard and synonymous with quality JS development.

So comes the obvious question. What will happen to devRant? We wanted to make the announcement today because we will be officially shutting down the product in 30 days. So that gives everyone a full month to take in the last memories, look at those rants they really loved, and hopefully take some time to chat with @trogus and I about Semicolon JS and what we have planned.

With so many thanks and looking towards the future,
- @dfox and @trogus

When life gives you lemons, develop an app that sells lemons.

When you're your own PM and feature creep yourself

Tutorials w examples that don't even work. Would run into these all the time back in my Flash days, so frustrating.

These guys need some dialogue. What do think they're saying?

Avatar builder now live on desktop web! You can add/edit your avatar from your profile. We had a little help from our friends over at Toptal with some React work, if you're ever in need of some freelance skills you're lacking, check em out.

Clients who think their site should always be up-to-date, yet never update their browser

New devRant energy drinks we'll be handing out at our booth at Techcrunch Disrupt NYC next Tuesday. Swing by and meet Team devRant (me and @dfox)!

devRant on desktop web now live! Check it out and let us know if you find any bugs or weirdness: devrant.io/feed/

Introducing avatar pets & a new way to unlock avatar items! Pets include cats, dogs, birds and tigers. We know getting all those ++'s can take some time, so while all avatar items are just as reachable for free by earning ++'s from rants and comments, we now allow items to be purchased in-app based on the difference in ++'s you have to the ++ unlock value of the item. (To purchase, you'll need the latest app version)

Paying for avatar items helps us keep the devRant servers up and running and also is extra motivation to add more fun avatar items. If you have any questions or find a bug, please let me or @dfox know. Happy ranting!

New devRant Cartoon! (https://youtube.com/watch/...) Touches on the "fun" that is family tech support. I think some of you can relate... This one is inspired by a rant by DotM (https://www.devrant.io/rants/326625). Enjoy!

New avatar items! (checkered shirts, skull tee, dual monitors, new facial hair, and more!)

Being a good developer is knowing how to balance writing perfect code with getting shit done. Working lean means half your stuff in going to die anyway, so fighting for the corpse just wastes everybody's time

Fun new devRant mouse pads to help you whistle while you work! https://swag.devrant.io/products/...

I made an account just to rant about this:

Currently working for a multi billion dollar company and this is the code some wanker decided to write! Now I get the pleasure of reading through and debugging it :D

Product managers who breathe down your neck all day because they literally have nothing else to do with their time

When you look at your own code and are like "wow that's sloppy"

Latest update to Sourcetree for PC is a downgrade. Weird annoying quirks that weren't there before, driving me crazy. Back to Bash...?

Random thought: what would a Taylor Swift song about the Swift programming language sound like (besides catchy AF)?

The devRant website landing page (www.devrant.io) has been rebuilt, now with lots of different sections highlighting what this community is about and what @dfox and I have built. It's mainly for the uninitiated, but check and out, and if you have any feedback, please comment
