Three years ago, tried to learn some JavaScript, failed miserably. Two years ago, managed to learn some Java through Udacity courses. Last year I started learning native Android development and got my first coding summer job. Now I'm back to learning JavaScript through Freecodecamp and that bitch ain't got shit on me no more!

So yeah. This.

Today I got kicked out of a sports store in a city that I'm not from on Black Friday for *allegedly* walking onto the putting green and teeing off a little foamy practice ball with a 3 wood.

There were a lot of accusations(which was pretty ironic considering I *may* have).

My main defense is that I honestly didn't think I was talented enough for it to end up in hunting & fishing on the other side of the store.
On the plus side I may have found a new hobby outside of developing

Why was the JavaScript developer sad?

Because he didn't node how to express himself

...and then you go whine that StackOverflow is full of arogant people that only downvote and flag. Yes they do... if you act like an ass or don't even go through the Tour.

WebEx.

Salesforce.

Absolutely anything by Microsoft.

I absolutely hate the way we are taught programming in Indian colleges.

FML #1: I'm pursuing a UG CS course, and this semester, I only had one subject of Computers, that too only 1 credit. The rest with all electronics.

FML #2: In that 1 credit course, we had to make a C++ project which had "data handling". No one cares if you build something cool or not, just that a project should have "extensive use" of data handling.

FML #3: Source code had to be >= 1000 lines. This is the only place where ADDING MORE LINES OF CODES THAN REDUCING IT is appreciated. Had to stuff my code with all kinds of comments and violating the basic principle of DRY.

So, yeah, we're fucked big time. 😥

Stop fooling yourself by thinking that the hurry & pressure will eventually go away if you work overtime & stretch yourself to heroics weekly. They won't, and they never will (and even shouldn't). Focus on building sustainable habits that propel you towards your goals day by day, and don't give up until you're where you want to be. Period.

Guys. I'm bored. I want a challenge in python. Don't make it too hard. I'll learn everything i need to as i go and post here the results. Thx!😆

Web services that require Windows or MacOS?!?! Why!?
(Why, and also FU)

Installed Fedora in a partition on my old Acer laptop having never used Linux before. It's so much faster than Windows 10!

And the terminal is pretty 😍

When I started to learn functional programming I asked myself: "What the hell is this?"
Fast forward a couple of years, I still wonder what 'this' is.

Wanted to try either of Angular Js or Meteor Js. Which one shoul I?

Buy a fitness tracker which reminds you after an hour of inactivity to get up.
Get up, walk around or even better climb some stairs, get back to work.

i share your rant bro. (well, not actually because i don't use apple :D)

I am invited for job interview to RedHat. Hell yeah.

1. Open a couple of tabs in Google Chrome.

2. Close one of them.

3. Try to reopen it from the titlebar right-click menu.

Has anyone else ever notice that you have to right click the title bar twice to get "Reopen closed tab" to work in Chrome on Windows, or am I just crazy?

!rant
Is there any static site generator or builder, like webpack but which builds/compiles static HTML files? In which we can use partials and things like sass etc.

Actually I am asking for another js module/framework... Sorry :|

When you're close to the deadline and you just need things to work 😲

I feel JS has taken over...

The good.

Easy to learn, thus everyone knows it

The bad.

Everyone knows it, so npm has disgusting code that's used in prod.

Npm itself is still an unstable mess at times.

No one knows what it is to be a good programmer .

Dozens of frameworks every year since everyone thinks they can make it a bit better.

Classes still suck , no interfaces !

Hi. Are there a nice guys with free time, who want to teach me how to program in js ?

Im understanding basic syntax but I have a hard time making / learning how to make programs like pyramid of * symbols :/

I promise to be a good student!
Please help me to learn :)

Don't you love it when somebody commits the removal of unnecessary files and gets it merged to master but doesn't test beforehand??

Learn git right after you learn your first programming language.

Guess what arrived today!

Just wanna to share my story:

I just quit my job 2 months ago to ramp up my own startup. I will be funded with 2k Euro per month for 1 year to prepare the founding of my startup. Basicly that means i got one year to build backend/frontend/app. I have a friend that is doing some nontech related stuff like business development and shit. Sounds good until now i guess.
But:
Developing all that stuff in a one man show as a junior-like developer is really hard. I did not find another dev who wanted to join me as a sideproject or something.

Do you guys think thats even possible to ramp up all this by myself or am i to optimistic? I mean, i learn a lot atm, but i am a bit scared to fail too.

That should not be whining or shit, just gathering some input of you guys.

(excuse typos and stuff as i am not a native speaker :) )

When you teach people how to code as much as I do, having to explain why things like this are so wrong over and over again starts to make you die inside.

So I got a call earlier today that a letter from the US arrived for me. I can only guess what's in it.

Put it on a poster:

"It's ok to:

say "I don't know"
ask for more clarity
stay at home when you feel ill
say you don't understand
ask what acronyms stand for
ask why, and why not
forget things
introduce yourself
depend on the team
ask for help
not know everything
have quiet days
have loud days,
to talk,
joke and laugh
put your headphones on
say "No" when you're too busy
make mistakes
sing
sigh
not check your email out of hours
not check your email constantly during hours
just Slack it
walk over and ask someone face-to-face
go somewhere else to concentrate
offer feedback on other people's work
challenge things you're not comfortable with
say yes when anyone does a coffee run
prefer tea
snack
have a messy desk
have a tidy desk
work how you like to work
ask the management to fix it
have off-days
have days off
