My classmates are such hypocrites. They pretend to be programmers, but they can't fool me.
"Oh sorry. I can't show you the result of my html code. I have to compile it first, but there's no WiFi."
There's so many things wrong with that.39 -
When you implement a 3rd party payment system, and it doesn't work... and their support can't fix the problem... So you debug their code and send them the revised code and they update their GIT repo and update their documenting.14

Does anyone else have periods where they just can't seem to get shit done? I'll have a few months of solid productivity, followed by a span of anywhere from a few days to a few weeks where I'm just completely useless, can't get motivated to write much code, or can't seem to be productive when I actually am motivated. Weird, right? Anyone else have similar issues?11

Man I really hate it when people think that coding doesn't take any concentration and can just interrupt you while you're thinking about how to solve problems
So the other day I was working on how to solve a problem with filtering data with JS, and I had to urgently update one of our pages on our website. I had to update that page according to the content of a Word file, which I didn't check how long it was.
About 15 minutes later everything was ready and published, so I set myself back to my problem.
I get an email from her, "you mixed up things" and she showed up in my office. "There are four pages in this word doc and you copied wrong parts", I was like "ok, I'll fix it". Fixed it two minutes later, went back to code.
Received another email, with another subject, again with another problem. Start getting pissed off for being interrupted for nonsense. Fixed it instantly and put my manager in the email loop so she is aware my other colleague pisses me off.
And again, another direct email "can you fix this?!". I started ignoring her requests because I need some work to be done, and I already lost 2 hours. Got again interrupted by her personal visit to point me which things are wrong, repeating everything twice as I am stupid to her. Man I can't code in peace. I fixed her shit, exactly as she wants and decided to pay my manager a visit to tell her I'm really pissed about being interrupted all the time.
Five minutes before the end of the day, she comes panicking in the office about ANOTHER WORTHLESS issue. Told her it's nothing and went away.
Day is over, thought it was over - a whole afternoon spent correcting her fucking page that gets 10 visits a year.
On the next morning, "there is something wrong with your form, can you check it?!!?" with an attached screenshot. FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU STOP ANNOYING ME WITH YOUR FUCKING SHIT CANT WORK ANYMORE. PUT YOUR FUCKING PAGE RIGHT UP YOUR ASS AND FIX IT YOURSELF.
She doesn't have any access to the back end.
Guess I'll have to fix it then...9 -
ME: I'm having problems with my parents
GF: Why don't you talk to them?

Manager: "<third-party vr app> isn't working. Think you could fix it by tomorrow?"
Me: "I can't fix it without the source code."
Manager: "Didn't you install it?"
Me: "I did, but I'd need <third-party>'s source code if you want me to make changes and that problem would probably take at least a day to fix."
Manager: "Can't believe you don't have the source code. Aren't you supposed to have your code available?"
(Just....)18 -
You refactor after there's code. You can't have clean code if there isn't code to be cleaned to begin with. Code first. Think of perfection later.4

My PC died 2 weeks ago. I've been stuck on mobile since and will be too broke for a new machine for an indefinite (though certainly not infinite) period.
It's hell. One can only read so many ebooks and meditate so much.

Worst part is I was just starting a pet project and now it's on hold!

Code dreams.
What are they? You either sleep poorly, lightly, or not at all and continually repeat nonsensical code that you would otherwise KNOW is wrong when awake, (and it may even be a problem you already solved!) but for some reason your brain just wants you to mull over it over and over again.
I've been free of them for quite some time, but it happened now the past two nights. Drives me fucking nuts.17 -
I can't code
So 3 things i hate because i can't code. #selfrant
1. My father was a programmer in the 80-90ties. So he forced me at 11 years old to do a stupid "Java for Kids" book. You had to write sooooo much verbose code just that a stupid grey button would appear that looked ugly. I really really hated it.
2. Now I'm a graphic designer by trade. The first time I came in contact with something useful code related was in 2011. https://processing.org the generative design framework. It looked glorious! But it was in Java! I hated it.
3. I hate that i can't code because I'm dependend on you guys to get my design to become alive. Thanks to 3 years on devRant, the days arguing with a lazy dev that something can't be done is thankfully gone.6 -

Anyway I just want to fucking write code. I don't want to deal with people or give an opinion that is not appreciated. My manager says I am too aggressive but the truth is I hate stupidity and incompetence. I tell them their ideas are shit and not in a polite way and they make HR call me. Now I don't say shit and they are asking what I think. I think all of you are cunts that's what I think.but I don't say that. I say no comment when I know they are about to fall into a massive ditch. Will I stop them? Fuck no. Will I help them out if the ditch? Maybe, if it only involves writing code. I can't do diplomacy. I'll definitely be a fucking tyrant if I ever ruled a nation.rant ugggh fuck this and let me write killer code. i can't seem to please anyone management sucks ass14

A programmer can code.
A developer is a jack of all trades jumping into any stack and mastering the basics in a weekend.

Why commenting is important?
If you are commenting a variable or method and you can't find the right way of explaining it, there's a problem with your code6 -
Ignore every single comment that had been passionately written into the code.
Probably thought "if compilers can, why can't I?". -
How would you feel if you can't solve your code? I'm almost a week stuck on a server problem. I applied for frontend dev position, it's okay for me to do this kind of stuff but the fact that I can't solve it for so long it makes me feel down :(5

So I just realized (while rewriting some code) Python can't import stuff from a sibling directory without voodoo tricks. Seriously. In 21st century.25
-
This is really annoying. My single manual test takes 10 minutes to run. Can't blame the task because its big, can't blame me, code optimization is not necessary and won't speed anything up. So here writing a rant waiting for it to finish1

Worst experience of 2020 for me was:
👎 that I had 0 time to code my side-projects.
Best experience of 2020:
🙃 can't think of anything good haha -
I just noticed the code in the docs of Vue.js contains no semicolons... I literally can't find a single semicolon in their code :O2

Have you ever gone through your code line by line and still can't figure out what the bug is...
That's when you know you have ghosts inside your computer4 -
What if your main telecom provider is down? Can you continue to work, code, take customer orders? Do you have a redundant strategy - and no it can't be going to lunch.8
-
Can't stand more unproductive teams/zoom meetings anymore!!!
Fck this pandemic crap, let me code in peace!!!3 -
The feeling when you debug your code for 2 hours and the bug is not in your code, but in the framework.
You can't render a list if it has more than 10 items.
Thanks React Native and Facebook.7 -
purity might just be the most important thing when refactoring code you didn't write.
for real, if you purify everything in that code, future refactorings will go way smoother and reasoning even more so.
But it's no easy feat, sometimes you face cockroach code. cockroach code is code written nuke style. The fire and forget code that you shouldn't forget.
cockroach code's easy to spot. you can't know what cockroach code does without reading it's comments. roach code is fat, roach code retro feeds from different spots of macaroni. it does IO and everything else all bundled together.
roach code isn't easy to scratch out its async version. in fact, thats a property of roach code. If you can't make it async without a rewrite, you've got roach code.12 -
devRant stickers make me code better. I just can't write shit with you :/ amigos staring at me. I feel the pressure!
-
Please don't try to decipher your code from 5 years ago, it's a mistake. Thought it would be a great idea to bring an old project back to life. Turns out it is not. Not when I can't understand my own code...3
-
Why can't Facebook just include messaging? Also, can you remove unnecessary code? You take too much space on my phone3
-
I still can't imagine a programmer genuinely getting something out of writing tests
like are you even writing software you'd use if you're writing tests?
I can't be sure of its buglessness unless I can put the whole thing in my head and rapid bounce ideas at the construct. writing all those out into code would be exhausting / neurotically excessive and ultimately an unmaintainable mess
and otherwise I can't think of any use for tests other than that they can be used to document the specs, which if you're working on your own code and not in a corporate team isn't that big of a problem18 -
Considering paying my boss to drop a client, because a function only they need can't really be implemented more brilliantly than a huge if/else, doubling the size of the source code.

Making sure you can't be fired 101:
The docs for your code should closely resemble that creative writing assignment you turned in a week late in college. -
"Code"
And the website says "Lonely geeky people do need apply"
So I put my on my glasses and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I shook his hand and, I said "I am glad I will be working for you."
Code, code, everywhere there's code
Neo vision, tweakin' my mind
Do code this, and API that, can't you read the fucking manual
And the sign says "If you want to use this site you must accept our cookies"
So I found the CEOs address and doxxed him all night!
To put up a dialog and block content from my sight.
If Todd was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, "it just works"
Code, code, everywhere there's code
Neo vision, tweakin' my mind
Do code this, and API that, can't you read the fucking manual
Oh, say now mister, can't you code
You got to have a laptop and a hoodie to get a job
You can't work, no you can't standup, you ain't supposed to be here
And the website says "You got to have an employee ID to get inside" - yo!
And the website says "Everybody welcome, come in, code and share"
But then they passed around a git pull at the end of it all
And I didn't have a character to code
So I got me laptop and I made up my own fuckin' code
I typed, "Thank you OSS for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing fine", yeah
Code, code, everywhere there's code
Neo vision, tweakin' my mind
Do code this, and API that, can't you read the fucking manual
Code, code, everywhere there's code
Neo vision, tweakin' my mind
Do code this, and API that, can't you read the fucking manual
Yes! Some old song, called "Code code", I wish we did write that one, but
We didn't - git blame!
Hello World!6 -
I feel like a fucking idiot. I can't focus whatsoever on the code today, I look at it and can't understand it. Heck, I can't even make a simple C# script...4
-
Got dragged into business meeting. Said stupid things because I didn't know they were secrets... Can't wait to get chewed out. Why am I not just a code monke?!?!2
-
man
I just can't seem to find motivation to code
any suggestions? I really want to get out of this coding slump :(3 -
ML engineers can't write production level scalable code. They're always boasting about the accuracy of their solution. Some can't even tell the difference between a GET and POST request. AND ITS SO HARD to get them to admit they're wrong. 🙄13
-
I can't delete old useless code, I am afraid of deleting it and I always end up commenting it as if I am giving it a chance to prove itself. #rant3
-
I want to code, but I have to prepare for my GRE, but I can't, coz I want to code, which I can't either, coz I'm worried about my GRE. As I open my books, my heart craves to see IDE. I'm fucked up, literally.4
-
Every time I read "IDGAF", I can't help but parse it as a Doom cheat code, trying for a moment to recall what effect it had.
Boy I feel old1 -
somewhere in every spaghetti code there is a mysterious CTRL + C and CTRL + V that just can't explain itself2

More frequent commits are imperative to your sanity!
Trying to find a code change in git, and I stumbled across a commit comment I can't even remember doing!1 -
What in the actual fuck is vs code doing with the language servers? I am idle for minutes, but the language servers are constantly are roasting my cpu harder than linus doing code reviews.
Fucking hell, I can't enjoy the music in the background, with the cooling system crying.3 -
deadline is tomorrow 9pm. can't stop reading rants about clients deadlines. still 60% of code remaining...
-
Can't you understand this code is unmaintainable and doing a quick fix and also requiring of me to write unit test for it IS NOT POSSIBLE without a rewrite?! FML
-
Fuck, I can't stand ppl who brag about learning new languages when they can't produce quality code in their work language, and dont know any other rules than few basic ones that you learn at the beginning of being a programmer. Go kill yourselves, thanks1
-
I'm graduating on Computer Engineering and I'm JavaScript. It still bugs me that I understand the language but then I can't apply the knowledge on code :/3

Anyone know why a button appears on Firefox and not other browsers?
More details:
I'm currently improving a software made by another developer and can't seem to figure out why these two buttons appear in an input form for Mozilla Firefox and not other browsers. I can't seem to find the code that causes this anywhere in the source code.
The buttons are up and down, and allow users to increment or decrement the value in the form.3 -
I want to relearn Java. I've done anything in Java the past 3 years.
I feel so lost, I can understand a java code, I just can't start a new one.2 -
I get really motivated and sit to write a lot of code and be very very productive, but then I get demotivated for twice as much time as I were coding.
I just can't write code if not super motivated. This is a very bad habit.1 -
When you add console.log above your buggy code, but after 15 changes you forget to update the real code and you spend 15 minutes scratching your head because you can't fathom why your last change didn't fix the problem...
-
What do you guys do when your mind can't just take thinking about code anymore but you are still on shift ?5
-
Guys, I want to confess something.
I redundant code.
Actually I don't want to, but it's to match the timeline.
I know I'm a bad programmer. I can't create creative UIs. :( -
This Old Fart looks at webpack prod ver of my code and be like change the way you write code because I can't read it.1
-
I need help,
I'm on that task for a month and it's a shitty task where I need to write algorithms too complicated for my level and I'm totally demotivated right now... I can't even understand my own code and can't focus for more than 5min... I just wanna go home and never see that code and work on that anymore...
Has this situation ever happened to you ? What should I do ?6 -
I have yet another problem.
Whenever I think about starting a new project, I open console, make a directory, initialize the boilerplate things and then...
Stop. I can't move much further because I get another idea that could be branched off of that last idea. And then.. another one.
Infinite loop :/
Hopefully I will reach a stack overflow soon...1 -
Pushed some code last night. Can't remember exactly how I wrote my changelog. I think it was coherent? Checked DevRant first.
-
I love listening podcasts while doing stuffs, but I just can't pay attention to it when I'm programming. My mind focus on the code and ignore whatever I'm listening :/1
-
Yesterday we had discussion on with developers about continuous deployment. When I asked one of the senior developers why they can't uncommit what commits you made to integration branch and which led to integration test failures. He said it's against the basic philosophy of git to uncommit... I don't know how git works...but seriously you can't use previous version of code or can't uncommit??6

Can't compile the tutorial code in Android Studio without switching to an older API. Anyone know why that is? Does it have any relevance to the API supported by the emulated device?11
-
Out input web services are called webservice_out (and vice versa) so that the calling code can build a proxy client and call webservice_out.method(xyz).
And we can't change it now. Idiots. -
What do you do when can't find the solution to the error in your project? since yesterday I can't manage to get my code work properly, I feeling tire now... What do you do?2
-
You can call me a noob developer, but I still think its magic when your code doesn't work. So you step through your code to see what's wrong. But you can't see it. So you just hit continue just to see your code is now working3
-
Is it just me or do people sometimes do major refactoring not because it needs to, but purely because they are inheriting old code and can't be bothered to understand it5
-
need to deviler a custom made website on a custom cms tomorrow, can't bring myself up to code... Any of you get these coding blocks? how do you guys overcome it?1
-
My Advent of Code solution is calculating and calculating, which means I clearly did it wrong. But I already spent 4 hours trying to code it in Clojure (OMG, why can't tail call optimization just work there?!?!)

I'm rewriting an entire activity of a messaging app. I'm suffering a lot.
ListViews, Databases, Sending/Receiving from server...
And no, I can't reuse code. The original activity is from a decompiled APK, so it's smali code. -
I'm bored and can't sleep soooo...
Bad clever code vs Good clean code
Worst / best examples. - what's devRant got

The single most asked question when you're a unwitting 'code archaeologist' working on an inherited code base:
'Why in the Lord's name can't I just start from scratch!?' -
Rendering a html page which if fully populated with code and markup....fire up dev server, navigate to route and dang.....page is empty and can't see WTF!!! is wrong7

std::cout from C++.
Why? Because I use it all the time, can't live without it.
Sometimes the most important pieces of code is the simplest. -
Why can't Jira support standard markdown (as defined by Daring Fireball / John Gruber et al)?
Why does it need an own markup syntax and even fail with it. Using ticks ` for code once worked, now it lets the first tick stay, eats the first code character and highlights it as code. Just why?!6 -
i have experience of CMS but can't write a single code so people make laughed me that i'm not a good web developer.1

That's it!! Code::Blocks sucks! It can't stay 5 minutes without crashing. Do you guys know a good IDE for C++? (Preferably for linux)9
-
Webpack sucks ass. I can't find a single resource on how to include code from a parent directory. Heaven forbid anyone ever develop something alongside their webpack project.2

I have Avira Password Manager and for 3 days now I can't access it because they send a verification code to the phone but that code was never received... FUCK YOU AVIRA5

Why hasn't anyone made a mobile SASS app yet? Sometimes you need to code on the go, and you just can't drag around a laptop.
Or is there an app and I just can't find it?6 -
Does anyone know how to preview your code through VS Code I can't view the files at the same time I can only open HTML or CSS or JavaScript by themselves9

figured out why i'm at home with machine code or Python but can't for the life of me do something in the middle like C: if i'm forced to use pointers, but can't manually pick an address something's made at, my mind can't deal with it.8

idk why but personal project code gives me more OCD triggers than work project code.
Can't code for myself anymore. My OCD kicks in and makes me wanna throw up when I look at the shit I coded last week for my pet project.3 -
I want to build a code transpiler/ transformer as a side project I looked around but I can't find where to start.
Does anyone have any useful info on this ?1 -
Multitasking is never easy. I can't debug code on one codebase and write new feature for another codebase at the same time.
