Take whatever you want, you'll probably need it sometime.

Naming stuff is the hardest thing in development nowadays

There is no one who can relate to me around our area. Even my friends are non-dev. It's frustrating. Thanks devRant for existing.

Behind the screens :\

So, I love scribbling ideas on a whiteboard, like I'm sure most developers here do!

It's a release of creativity and a starting point for many sources of software I've developed in the past. And something that doesn't happen all too often where I get an overflow of ideas and put them on a board.

This week was one such rare week where the ideas just came streaming in and the floodgates weren't able to hold them back...

Then came the dam wall down river... MANAGEMENT!

They had already sold a product to the customer that didn't exist yet and tasked a junior developer (I'm talking fresh out of school) to deliver. Of course, this was promised last year already and now the customer had paid and is waiting for the goods!

Along I come with this design which will enable the product to grow, allow the junior development to learn, me to mentor and for us all to let the creative juices flow, all while I get to flex my web dev muscles.

But management wants something now! A temporary solution for the customer to keep them happy, seeing as they've paid some money, which is to be developed by the junior dev on his lonesome.

Meanwhile my beautiful design has been snuffed out and are mere streaks and smears on a whiteboard, and the creative juices seem to have dried up since.

I am feeling somewhat despondent at the moment...

i didnt have any job so it made me feel i had lost a job. Everyday...

I am a student...

After reading the 100000th sudo joke on devrant. Please stop it. They are not funny at all.

I need advice from my coding elders:

A bit of background:
So I'm a highschooler and I have made a program for my school called Passport. It's being implemented as we speak.
Take a look:
https://github.com/poster983/...

It is basically a program that helps to manage and distribute digital Library passes. (We used to go through stacks of paper passes).

It was sorta my first major project, so it is probably filled with bugs and other security vulnerabilities. Just FYI.

_______

So a guy approached me tonight and was acting very interested in what I did. (it's literally a fancy database). He wanted my to unopen-source it and sell it to a company. (Probably his or a friend of him). I politely declined because I feel this program is
1. Not up to my standards; so if I was to sell it, I would rewrite it is something more modern like node, or Python.
2. I love open source.
3. A way for my to give back to my school and maybe help other schools.

After hearing that, he started calling opensourse a failure, and he said that I will one day be wise and write code for money (which I know I will, just I want to sell GOOD code).

My question is, how do I deal with people who want my to dich the opensourse model in the future?

My girlfriend doesn't talk to me anymore after I said I helped the new girl to do some penetration testing.

Cache me if you can

I hate those fucking sites which make you login first and then redirect to their home page.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE, ITS 2017. CANT YOU BASTARDS WRITE A FEW LINES OF CODE SO THAT I AM AUTOMATICALLY REDIRECTED TO WHERE I WAS AND I NEED NOT BACKSPACE EVERY TIME I LOGIN?

Throwing a RuntimeException because you didn't find a user in the database is just wrong

That timestamp.😛

Not vars!

Sorry!

This is a good use of flags

I got loads but it all started when I was a wee script kiddy.

I built a virus when I started a simple program to send to people for a laugh. It would send you a message "you are fucked" with a countdown of 30 seconds and it restarts the pc 😳 😎

Everyone is talking about devRant stickers, so, for whom are they given? Is that for elite devs only?XD )) 'Cause I'd like have one like that =} they are rly cool)

If you accidentally send out a porn link, your best line of defense is to send 10 more, then blame it in a virus.

In fact just make a virus at this point.

Hey geeky girl,
Roses are #ff0000
Violets are #0000ff
I use hex codes, but I’d use RGB for you.

Yet to try it in real life.

Just got paid for my first job! I so happy 😊

I feel like people don't understand what I mean when I say "I'm a console gamer"

True story

How it feels holding the power button when the pc freezes

Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."

Just found this in a book that's like the analog version of devRant! ^^

Programming is also a 9 to 5 job... 21:00-5:00

I badly relate...😁

Mom: what is it you do exactly?

Me: I make web sites and test computers for bugs.

Mom: What is a bug?

Me: it is when a program does something you do not want it to do.

Mom: k, I don't understand how money is made in that. But, you know (random store) is hiring.
