"A different error message! Finally some progress!"

Soo true...

Most of the time it IS progress :)

I don't know why, and if it's normal, but I'm really happy when I get another error message...

Always 😂

Omg just joined and read this! So true and too funny

Best way to narrow down bugs!

time to get a smoke break

yay, two more different errors after the latest hotfix. Progress just doubled!

"Yeay!".

omg yess 😂😂

Lol... Overly true

In my case .. It's many times a sign of something else broke preceding the earlier bug while fixing it

#reverseProgress

@bakablah is it weird knowing that a great majority of your points come from this post alone?

@tisaconundrum yep I know lol

First post over 500 ++ 👏

give this man a cookie!

Haha YAS!

😂😂so true

@mangs Now tisat 700+

@tisaconundrum 700 of his 763 rep is bcuz of this post. Dear diary, jackpot.

Had to revisit this one today to show a co-worker the story of our day.

Story of my life

It's the little things...

this is the highest upvoted rant currently and also the top rant of all time

So true😂

1001 for one rant....

You are right 😜

@dfox The current number of upvotes is cut off by the ++ and -- buttons...would be nice to see it. :-)

I'm on iOS btw if that matters. Using iPhone 6.

@mzgaljic thanks for the heads up. This is fixed on Android and will be fixed in the iOS version going out tomorrow.

@dfox you're the man!

As a college student, this hits close to home!

@indiandev keep at it dude, with time, you'll only get better!

@bakablah thanks!

Omfg! 1.2K upvotes? This is insane!

@SweetHuman what's funny is that the guy only has 1245 points which means almost all his points are from this single post 😁

@liammartens and he is really inactive.

@SweetHuman not as inactive as you think. I enjoy reading rants more than writing them :p

@bakablah oh. Why don't you have a profile?

@SweetHuman because I'm an early user to devRant and I enjoy static Color backgrounds?

@bakablah oh. I love profiles.

@thmnmlst pretty darn awesome actually :)

then you find it's caused by a wrong fix of the first error.
ErrorsOverFlow

Exactly..!!

Ohh it's soo true!!

Hahaha I’ve had that feeling many times

As long as you don't get back to the first error message

99 Little bugs in the code, tale one down, patch it around... 127 Little bugs in the code..

All hail 'error message'~ for given us path to progress

This is literally my life

On solving that error, we will find one more error. More progress.

I truly laughed out loud when I read this because this is pretty much my WHOLE debugging method.

I get notifications of comments in this rant pretty often (I guess that as all devRant)

5 min later same error again

I love error messages, hhh i know it seem strange to say this, the stressed, trying to focus and manage your idea to find a solution, sitting the whole day and maybe more than one day searching about that error msg and at the end you solve it, that why i love in programming

more like more error messages

you just applied cold water on the burned area!

Next attempt, no error messages, "FUCK!"

cool

It's so gooood ,

It's so baaaad ,

awww yisss!!!

How about when not showing any error! But code not working!!!!

@lazyDev and your dreams for a smoke break is shuttered!!

Sounds like a job for tomorrow

If that ain't true xD

Every project i've ever worked on...

How about add some emojis? 😂

totally true ;)

Lifecycle of my projects rotates around this rant.

Baby steps 😂

5 new bugs! Not sure which direction I'm headed in...

well, things might actually be nastier if you just hit a segmentation fault

;__;

@codebuddha there is always an xkcd https://xkcd.com/371/

Every time the line identifier increases, I take a drink of coffee in celebration

I neee this as a motivational poster

I consider myself very new to programming and I already get this. funny. ++

In the DevOps universe, I love that an error result is a mark of forward progress...

I just clatter my keyboard until the error goes away, or hides under an if statement, kind of like my goals.

Then you realize the error changed because you wrote another error before the line of the previous error

Finally catch the whole crap and add skidmarks like log.info ("foo"); or log.warn ("FOO"); just, because a log-level of DEBUG would boost your screen.

So true it hurts

Thank god!

Sad, but true.

Relatable...

lol so true

It's funny because it actually just happened to me lol

No error messages. How is this working??

"Not only do I have a issue, but it has been deepened by something I don't know what"

*opens a new tab* "now what the hell does this mean?"

... Until you realize you made an *additional* error, not get rid of an old one.

Whoops no just made a typo. Same error is still there.

I felt that

I prefer to get an error message than code without an error but not doing what I tried to intend.

👨🏼‍💻Come up with a lot of errors and solve it the you never do the same mistake.🙋🏼‍♂️

Done for the day, back at it tomorrow.

Feel the same way! (1st post woohoo)

that moment when you’re like: oh no what the Frick I just got a flipping error message and my is f#$&ing flawless. So you spend hours scanning through your code that 2 frickin’ days to make! And suddenly you find out your error was you spelling print as: PHRINT

@Kernelovic Change is good 🙂

error is love, error is life!

HAHAHA! Lez goooo!

"A same error message! F...ing same progress!"

@SandunIsuru haha...Yeah! I remember most of my GUI applications do that often. Bump CLI!

That calls for a celebration. 🍺

omg, time to get a break

Felling you :(

Ok, tnx

For some reason, I felt this one really hard

"finally, I can google something else! I was running out of search results for the last error..."

Hah! YES

If happiness had another name ...

very true lmao

one of the best feelings!!!

true

Unless realizing that it's the first error message you got briefly at the beginning, the first time you compiled

progression towards the earth

That's right, brother

One fine day if will be definitely run.

"Task failed successfully"

YAS!

As usual

Haha my coworker and I have been doing this for a few days now trying to upgrade to TypeScript v4...

Story of my life 😂

Really!

@nerd-chan Yeah

Hahaha, so true. When error changes, at least we get some relief!

I love node error message , there is a error around "( "

yeah , which one?

Managed to blind-code for over 30 minutes, creating new controllers, binding to routes and views, and when I finally ran it I had NO errors. This is the definition of a good afternoon. And one that will probably never be repeated.

No but really. In C and Python this is *ALWAYS* a sign of progress.

Thank you so much for ensuring. It's a pleasure to know that you got some progress. All the best!

Yup you got it

The same case

Always

All my work in this message, lol

Well, now it is necessary to understand is it okay or not...

True story...

Add when it finally works, it is not meant to work :-0

Oof 😂

Soo true.

Welcome!

turns out to be syntax error, and when you fix it you get your old error back :)

it happens with me all the time

Aaaah the dopamine rush lol!

It means progress, that's great news

you're right, most of the time it says it is in progress. Google

as long as it's an error with meaning.

When you find out that the new error is only an issue with the fix for the first error...

Cool!

Every time 🤣

Truuee!)
