Finally, my project is done!

(and apart from UI/UX polish and some rewording by marketing, everything is finished! Wooo!)

Now for the fun part of the project... 😭

Every dev needs a hug sometimes. Have you hugged a dev today?

Just got this slack from our server admin.

Hey guys, dfox here. Due to many requests, we have decided that now you need only 100++s to get a stressball! Also, we've decided to make the collaboration free for everyone! That's right, any project you have in your mind, post a collab now to get help from other developers.

Proud dad moment:
My son just worked out how to use a firestick remote to put Thomas on TV.
He's 2.
My parents can barely work their remote without playing 20 questions.
Not long before he learns how to use bash now!

Who can relate lol?

Recruiter: Hey! I found your CV and think you'd be great for this position.

Me: You clearly haven't read my CV. I don't know, nor have ever worked with anything you've mentioned. Why are you wasting my time?

They should come up with some term for non-developers, i.e muggles

terms can only be use in programming: -

Where friends have access to your private parts,

Where Parents may kill their child if required,

Where Bugs come in from open windows,

Where one image is worth 128K words,

Where 10 == 2,

Where Zombies are common and not dangerous *,

Where Daemons are always there somewhere

Where the slimmest of USB drives are considered FAT *,

Where comments are made and arguments are passed, **

Where forever alone nerds can also unzip, touch, mount and fsck ***,

Where root is top of the tree,

Where x = x + y is totally correct,

Where opening a jar requires Java,

Where Oct 31 = Dec 25,

Thanks to ASHISH KEDIA for writing these.

Is it socially accepted to develop Android apps on a Mac?

Asking for a friend

A few years ago when I was still an apple fan boy, friend of mine bragging me about how android is awesome, we were drinking some shots at our local pub and I was starting to get light headed. At one point he showed me so called "terminal emulator" app. I checked it out, and assumed it's an emulation, just like dosbox, so I decided to verify that "rm -rf *"... (the phone was rooted)

The phone shutdown within seconds, I couldn't stop laughing, while my friend was shock that his new phone was longer booting.

Luckily he managed to reflash the ROM. What can I learn from that experience?
1. Don't drink and sudo
2. Don't call your app an emulator if it's the real deal.

I've encountered the most annoying virus ever.
It changes your search engine to yahoo.

Pro Tip: if you're building a developer REST API, don't forget to add a sample response to each endpoint. I don't want to have to test each one when I'm building my integration, I'd rather build my model in one go with the documentation displayed on a second monitor.

Am I the only one that tries to make a program... but has an error for like 5 hours... and then realizes how to solve it while taking a showe?

Unfortunately it's true!!!

This is true.

Can't wait to get back to work tomorrow, long weekend of family has got me antsy for a jira ticket

I agree

General advice: If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

A true masochist is someone who uses a text editor with a white color scheme to program

@dfox Can we have the option to include code blocks in rants and comments? So that they're formatted as monospace text? I mean we can get around it with pictures, but it would be a nice option to include code with an appropriate font. =)

Is it me or Android documentation is fucked up.

I never thought I say that Microsoft is by far the most innovative tech company right now!

Don't be afraid to ask for help. EVER. Just use stackoverflow first.

General advice - People aren't against you, they are just for themselves

devRant a place where people hear your pain. Thanks @dfox
