    Unfortunately some of the most productive devs have the ability to work with people.

    Fortunately you don't have to like these people.

    @alwaysmpe I don't like people in general.

    Don't forget a piss poor diet though!
    It isn't programming if you eat a damn salad every day.

    @aile11

    Notepad++...

    *scoffs*

    You need to get at least 250 words per minute in Vim in your tmuxed urxvt terminal on your home-compiled Gentoo with your customized i3 window manager before you're a dev.

    Next you gonna tell me you use deodorant as well...

    I think you forgot the most important thing: the aptitude and tenacity for problem solving.

    Edit: The rest don't matter.

    Forget all this shit you wrote and write usable productive code that people actually use and preferably pay for... That's how you become a programmer.

    Where's the "check" that you actually write code?

    Bully everyone with a light theme;
    Spend hours setting up your IDE of choice;
    Have a serious fight with death threats on indentation preferences;
    Indent with tabs;

    Check all of the above and you'll become a dev

    superior brain for algorithm design (non OOP): check

    female: uncheck (nowhere in sight)

    And someday:

    a farm on Mars: check

    More distant future:

    USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D): check

    And they say real men, alpha version men, are tough guys with superior body genetics. Well we are production men, we skip alpha and beta early on and lead the way with a new improved version.

    @rezadhah sorry about that :(

    @A-0-C I guess that is to standard for me already...

    @rusty-hacker I am yet to actually try Linux, but it's an option of course
    The coffee was just forgotten by tiered me

    @rantOverflow check!

    @enzian I read nr 1, seems like some good info, I'll keep it for tomorrow

    @vanhoosr piss poor diet? Uhm, whats the meaning of piss in that sentence?

    @bittersweet vim is Linux, right? I'm going to try it in future, but I don't have a lot of time atm
    Don't worry though, I don't use deodorant

    @rayanon ok, but it's a fun check list

    @nocgod yep, and I'm wasting my time right now, I just noticed, fml

    @zfor im too into dark to bully someone with light themes

    @Codebeard ok... I guess?

    Way to waste my time again, that's not what I got DevRant for...
    Im not careful enough with my time yet

    Fml I really wasted there...

    @aile11 > but I don't have a lot of time atm

    Devs have a solution for that: sleep less.

    @bittersweet I actually have to sleep more, i had the problem of being tired all the time, not even coffee was helpful sometimes...

    Fuck sleeping

    @Mitiko Linux command?
    (sorry, new to linux)
  • 0
    @aile11 It's like dir /s on windows cmd but is the same for powershell.

    From now on you should use only powershell with text color green
  • 0
    @Mitiko oh, I couldn't identify the ls for some reason :D

    No idea about the rest though

    If I'd use a bright text colour it would be cyan :P
