Everyone loves devrant 😊

Hello devRant!

My name is Carter Schaap, a maker from SW Ohio. I've been voiding warranties for most of my life, and am currently at Great Oaks Tech School learning HTML, CSS and soon-to-learn JavaScript.

I dabble in C++ (because Arduino is a thing) and I'm learning Python because I'm getting into Raspberry Pi.

I can't wait to get involved in this community and do a lot of ranting.

Have a great holiday season!

When you do everything that needs to be done and it still doesn't work out.

Would you consider a technical leader to be as some kind of teacher ? I mean should he/she be teaching stuff teammates should already know ?

So tomorrow's my first day as a Junior Developer.
Any tips?

Joined a company 7 months back, was told they would be hiring other Android developers; a prospect I was excited by as I have not had the chance to work alongside my own kind.

Still no one hired, I'm the only Android dev and I'm still teach and working by myself. What should I do?!

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

Sometimes I feel like my wife woke up with a "--verbose" flag on...

I have a confession to make.
I do most of my java coding in comic sans ;-;
IT MAKES ME HAPPY FOR SOME REASON

I'd tinkered with computers for a long time but the breakthrough moment for me was a robotics class in elementary school where I programmed Legos in TC Logo.

That summer, I made a washing machine with multiple cycles and a door sensor to interrupt the cycles.

Soon after, I played with the code for Gorillas in QBasic to fix a race condition when running it on my 486 at home.

Intellij 'stop process running' is the new 'cancel printing'

I thought I could design a beautiful ui ... I have never been so wrong...

It's annoying when clients are such big fucking assholes that they make you want to leave an awesome job

A few years ago, i had a task to implement a webservice of an insurance-company into our .NET Development.

The security requirements of this insurance-company webservice were top notch.
As a client you had to build a request that used a negotiated certificate, canonical header structures, security timestamp, a secret token in header, ...

To configure all this stuff via web.config WCF was pure pain in the ass.

After many phonecalls and emails, i finally managed to meet all security requirements to send a valid request.

First, i didn't recognized my breakthrough, because my client still had thrown exceptions while calling the insurance-webservice.

Why was that?

The exception told me on the most possible gentle way, that .Net isn't able to process an unsecured response, when there was a secured request before.

So there was top notch security for requesting, but dumbass unsecured responding with all the precious customer information.

*epicfacepalmnuclearexplosionfollowing*

I even had to raise the. Net Version of our. Net client, because i wasn't able to configure that it is allowed to process an unsecured response after using a secured request.

Whyyyyyyy?!!?!!1el even!?!

Dropbox as version controll.

Least favorite "enterprise" application?

The SDK Manager knows what Android N stands for

My life was troublesome today, had to help a non programmer to run jar files.

The jar executed well from command line in Windows 10 but didn't work on double click.

Did all the tricks, registry edits, cmd commands and at last I found a miracle tool called Jarfix.

Just double click and all okay.

The root cause of the problem was 7zip.

This bug is reported in the Oracle bug reporting and they have closed it as " Will not fix" low-priority report.

If bigdata is lyk teenage sex, then machine learning is lyk masturbation. U r on ur own.

The worst thing about being a dev is after a while your reaction to every problem is this: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or this: ಠ_ಠ

We want a web site.

We're going to want lots of interactive content, which we'll define later.

You need to develop the whole thing in 2 weeks.

We'll give you all the details after you tell us exactly how much it will cost.

Dat insult

Thousands of JS frameworks

When you're too tired to think of debug messages...

Just saw an ad:

"I learned to code in 2 months thanks to X School and now I'm working at Google!"

Seems like now is the right time to dump your Google stocks.

I have been asked to teach a few things for newbies at work, without coding background.
I used the metaphore of pizza, empty pizzabox and no box for teaching NULL. I have read it here on Devrant, written by someone awesome of the community here.
My boss overheard me explaining it, and said that that was the most beautifull expanation of NULL he ever heard.
.......I was like: yaaay Devrant FTW!

Also newbies understood it instantly so kudos to you sir, original poster!
