A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, and a programmer are riding in a car.

The car breaks down and coasts to the side of the road.

"Hang on," says the mechanical engineer. "The problem is probably the engine, let me have a look at it and I'll have us on the road again in no time."

"Wait," says the electrical engineer. "The way it just stopped like that, I think it's the electrical system. Let me have a look and I'll get us going again in a minute or two."

"Hold on," says the computer engineer. "Why don't we all just get out of the car and get in again, and then see if it starts?"

Alternate punchlines:

"Why don't we open and close all the windows, and then see if it starts?"

"Why don't we remove parts from the engine until it starts successfully?"

A computer is Jon Snow . "It knows Nothing". Still does everything.

I hate coffee. But because I'm a developer, people just assume I love it and don't offer me an alternative.

Today I turn 25!

All I want for my birthday is a stressball.

If the guy who just turned 30 can get one :) ...

~ shameless request ~

friend told me about Rant...
was love at first sight!

#iwantthesestickers

It's my birthday and I just got enough upvotes for some stickers.

We need rubber ducks now devRant.

Finally took the step and saw a mini-side project to completion. It's (yet another) CSS starter kit. I know the internet is already full of them, but this is mine and I'm proud of it so I'm sharing 😊 It's called Basecoat; give it a look-see http://goo.gl/u2kGrX

somebody should have made a system restore point on the universe before Trump was nominated so we can go back once people realize what a bad idea this was

Should be a sticky post: https://www.devrant.io/rants/93206

Should at least be bumped monthly, for new ranters...

Click devRant to refresh, no more scroll to top, as @pelonchasva pointed out.

I just thought this would be a good place to find beta testers. Mainly because the developer is prone to get bored and if they encounter a bug they will be a lot more helpful than "its not working"

Learn To Code, It’s Harder Than You Think

When you're not funny nor miserable enough to post a good rant but you're still trying your best to get more ++ so you can get free stickers but the requirements keeps ++

I need to up my game :(

Thanks @dfox for adding the double tap to upvote feature, I mean, bug. You're a saint

Found a cool learning tool for starters.

A programmer is a person who fixed a problem that you don't know you have in a way you don't understand.

When someone says they are a 'HACKER' whereas all they do is watch videos of 'How to hack a GMail account' on YouTube and read 'Learn to hack in 24 hours' , while having no knowledge of networking, security protocols and ports.

bugs are like the terminator. they will be back

I was working on a nodejs project and this fella came to me.
He: Hey, I want to learn JS, how much time is it gonna take me get onto it?
Me: You know Java?
He: Yh :) I know java pretty good!
Me: Well, its gonna take forever thn..

Why can't we ever have a page, or a business account, or whatever to follow for tech news without about 3 shit posts/advertisements for every 1 interesting one?

Until now I've never thought of putting stickers on my laptop. Always preferred it to be clean, but with all those cool stickers on all your laptops... It made me wanna put as many stickers as possible and since devRant stickers looked lonely, I've decided to print some of my own. On other side I wantedthem to be useful for me so I grabbed a handful of NFC stickers and designed links and required shortcuts for my phones to run with them on touch. for example if I need a hotspot on my mobile to be activated quickly, I just put my phone against the WIFI sticker and bingo! And yes, devRant logo opens devRant app))

I had no idea that devs liked stickers so much.

Can I get a ++ from all the lady developers on this app or from anyone who supports women in STEM? Signed, a fellow female engineer

There are two types of people in this world: those who understand recursion and those who don’t understand that there are two types of people in this world

Folks, please:
If you grab pics or comic strips to post them here, include at least the link where you've found it/taken from.

Real life scripts

Hi, I and my dev are finishing our First Game, it's an application because u know, everyone have a smartphone... but this's not the point. I'm an IT student but I didn't graduate yet (maybe next year 🙊) but my dev did a year ago, (yup is older than me), but the fun fact is that I didn't write a single line of code (for this game) because my dev chose me only for my drawing skills 😎 (OK as a future dev I feel a little noob and scared, but no problem I love drawing, even more than programming, less frustrating😉.. sometimes) BTW, this project took 1 year of cooperation and before this an other year (to my dev to learn C# and unity), now we are so close and proud of our creation. As soon as possible I will show you everything 😁 a concept art of our zombie's face just to prove something
p.s. this app an this community it's so funny and, well, kind :)

Written by my boss...

I asked marketing how to rank higher on devrant, that's what they came up with:

Bad: Delete your production database
Good: Have a backup
Bad: Can't reimport it because your backup procedure uses scheme that are no longer supported for import by your cloud provider
Good: Backup are plaintext and somehow easy to parse
Bad: Spending the rest of the day writing scripts to reinsert everything.

End of the story: everything is up and running, 8hours of efforts
