Past 8 month summarized in one picture 🥰

I know someone from Uni who used a green text on red background IDE to make sure the colourblind person sat next to him couldn't copy his code...

I am traveling 550 Km (9hrs) just to give my first interview for the position of Jr. Natural Language Processing Engineer.
Wish me luck...

New devRant web app for desktop is now live! (https://devrant.com - the .com will now redirect to feed if you are logged in) Let us know what you think, and especially if you spot any bugs (very likely some slipped through). Some cool new features are still in development, will be out shortly.

Today I presented a client with their new website.

Feedback from the owner was "I fucking love it".
Got a cash bonus and a bottle of champagne before leaving.

Today was a good day!

Washing the dishes.

Somehow it helps me think more clearly. This is why I'll never buy a dish washer.

Kinda sounds like a typical nerd, but playing video games. Thinking about all the moving parts in the game causes me to think harder about how I write my code.

Reading devRant feed is so fucking hard nowadays. Every other rant is about Windows rebooting, Google being evil, Quantum beating Chrome, M$ users being cunts and all these fanboy shits.

Fucking hell. Write some actual code and rant about some solid problems rather than being a stupid fanboy.

Professor : Explain deadlock and I will give you full marks.

Me:- You give me full marks and I'll explain deadlock.

This + 🙄

I've read so many stuff in english that it feels really weird to read something in my native language(german). Especially when they're using german words in their code:

public Nahrung mittagessen;
public Gast()
{
mittagessen = new Gericht("Wiener Schnitzel");
}

are you fucking kidding me?!

My boss @BinaryProvider gave us these for International Programmers Day :-D
U da best!

correctly named devices

when your janitor knows his audience

HAHAHA.

I thought I was really good at debugging. Then I met this legend in my workplace. And he was like...

ever so often I have to deal with people who can be easily replaced with a shell script.

What do you call a party with developers?

A git together

I'm so sorry.

When you made a commit that deletes more code than what it adds. And the features are still the same 🎉

Just remembered the CIO wanted to discuss a project with me when I "got a moment". That was 4 months ago... and I work somewhere else now. Oh well.

["hip","hip"]

(hip hip array!)

For those who paid attention to my heated London interview excursion:

I got the job, I'm now employed by Cisco systems!!!!!!

I'm the lead dev at a tiny startup and was asked to write the job description for our open junior dev position since the new hire will directly work with me everyday. Since posting the opening online 2 weeks ago I've had 2 different recruiters contact me telling me about how my resume perfectly lines up with the job description ... no shit Sherlock, that's because I wrote the job description to find someone with my skill set.

So I've been messing with these recruiters. I told the last one I was interested so when he asked my salary I told him what I make but said I would settle for a lot less to get this job. Eventually he asked for my updated resume so I sent it clearly showing that I work for the company the opening is at. He called me back saying he's not sure what's going on so I told him I wanted to pursue the opening because I wanted to be my own boss. We both laughed but his was that nervous "I don't get it" laugh ... how sad for him.

In full knowledge I'll never get an 100 1+ rant, I've made my own devRant stressball

You know you need to reevaluate your life when you see this.

Re-using the same variable for different things is *not* code re-use.

my boss went on vacation 1 day before the deadline. Then disaster came in. So we emailed him, and he replied.

"Good luck"

fuck you SimpleDateFormat. Every single time. get one case incorrect, suddenly its june the 45th, 3017.
