Hmmm.....

This should be illegal!

My work companion.

when your colleague from India marks eveything as URGENT...

If programming languages were countries, which country would each language represent?

Disclaimer: its just a joke

Java: USA -- optimistic, powerful, likes to gloss over inconveniences.

C++: UK -- strong and exacting, but not so good at actually finishing things and tends to get overtaken by Java.

Python: The Netherlands. "Hey no problem, let'sh do it guysh!"

Ruby: France. Powerful, stylish and convinced of its own correctness, but somewhat ignored by everyone else.

Assembly language: India. Massive, deep, vitally important but full of problems.

Cobol: Russia. Once very powerful and written with managers in mind; but has ended up losing out.

SQL and PL/SQL: Germany. A solid, reliable workhorse of a language.

Javascript: Italy. Massively influential and loved by everyone, but breaks down easily.

Scala: Hungary. Technically pure and correct, but suffers from an unworkable obsession with grammar that will limit its future success.

C: Norway. Tough and dynamic, but not very exciting.

PHP: Brazil. A lot of beauty springs from it and it flaunts itself a lot, but it's secretly very conservative.

LISP: Iceland. Incredibly clever and well-organised, but icy and remote.

Perl: China. Able to do apparently almost anything, but rather inscrutable.

Swift: Japan. One minute it's nowhere, the next it's everywhere and your mobile phone relies on it.

C#: Switzerland. Beautiful and well thought-out, but expect to pay a lot if you want to get seriously involved.

R: Liechtenstein. Probably really amazing, especially if you're into big numbers, but no-one knows what it actually does.

Awk: North Korea. Stubbornly resists change, and its users appear to be unnaturally fond of it for reasons we can only speculate on.

Help. I... I think I'm quite enjoying Objective C. I don't know what's wrong with me.

I am being asked to support Internet Explorer 8 on this project I am wrapping up. The front-end has been developed using AngularJS 2.

How do you react?

Top 10 of the binary numbers :

Found this gem:

Software and cathedrals are much the same. First we build them, then we pray.

When you wake up the morning and receive a mail :
"We regret to inform you that your application has been rejected ..."
For what reason ?
"You are too ambitious"

The pain in a dev's heart when a long queue keeps growing at the supermarket and they don't open another checkout

When you push to Github Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday only, work a Sunday but then take that day off a few weeks later

Found this at a company's website they need an Android developer with (10 years of experience) 🤔😕

Survived another meeting that should have been an email.

If I have to read the "Java developers don't C#, so they wear glasses" joke one more time, I will murder a kitten.

I am 52. I think I am the oldest ranter. This deserves a sticker no doubt!

oh Android studio!!

Finally after a couple of years, we finally finished our game for... Windows phone. When we started the only real choice was to develop in silverlight.

Now silverlight has been discontinued and microsoft released uwp, no real help to convert to uwp (I know mobilize bridge exists, but it is not very good) since many features does not exist yet in uwp :/

But hey that's expected right? But couldn't microsoft at least ensure performance of silverlight apps on win10 mobile??? We have used a lot of time optimizing that the game runs smoothly on crap phones on wp8.1, but highend phones on win10 lags....

Thanks microsoft for taking a change :/

What if every hello world application creates a world like Tron and we casually destroy them thousands of times a day.

placeholder fail xD

is this what copying code from stack overflow looks like?

It's also full of vitamins

As someone who doesn't know a lot about JavaScript, but occasionally needs to create some quick and simple scripts, I swear I'm going to kill someone if I read "just use jQuery" one more time on SO.

We all love that colleague that swears he didn't make the method that's making 2 different functionalities not work 5 hours before the deadline even when git blame clearly shows he was the one to make changes.

Person: I am a developer. Give me coffee and I will convert it to code.
Me: What have you ever developed?
Preson: 😮. Well I can print hello world in 6 languages!
Me: 😕,You can show yourself out.

When I first heard about devRant.

my precious

python

when you had to maintain some stranger's shitty codebase, and you couldn't resist looking up his name on LinkedIn, then you found his profile which says he is a Rockstar coder

I hate Prestashop with a passion.
Right now i'm trying to debug why the modules admin page is getting randomly stuck at loading. :/
