My girlfriend's dad asked me to fix his printer.
I open it up, pulled the cartridge, blowed some air and put it back again.
It worked.
He now thinks I am a genius.15 -

Dev: So how do you want this feature fixed?
Manager: It should work how it worked before.
Dev: I'm new to this feature, I don't know how it worked before or what is broken about it.

Dev: I DONT KNOW HOW IT WORKED BEFORE THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING YOU. PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN DO MY JOB.
Manager: Just how it worked before!
Dev: ...

Technical Founder at today's meeting: "All of you guys have work-life balance. It shouldn't be like that. We need act like a startup. You guys need to work really hard. This guy (pointing at me) once worked 10 hours each day, where I worked 16 hours. We really need to move fast."

Today, I was told to investigate why the software doesn't work on "some" computers. I had no previous experience with that particular software but I just had to make some tests... easy, right? As soon as I ran the software, my computer crashed (I literally had to restart the pc). I asked my colleagues if I did something wrong but the set up seemed ok.
Later, in a random discussion about the software I found out it does "a little memory allocation". I opened the performance tab in task manager and ran the software again. In an instant, the RAM went from 1.3GB to 7.66GB (my pc has 8GB of RAM).
In an attempt to find how such a monstrosity was creater, I found out the developer that made the software had 16GB of RAM on his pc.
I have found something that eats RAM more than Chrome... brace yourselves.8 -
When I didn't compile the code for 500+ lines and when i finally did, there was only one syntax err... it was a typo... and then it worked...11

I worked on an amazing web app that tracked satellites and their failure rates. it was beautiful and worked fantastically. Me team worked like dogs to get it done three months. Our manager insisted it has to work perfectly for the demo and we delivered... We all got raises and everyone was happy, right? WRONG!
Demo day comes and management decides that they don't want to build the app because the customer pulled out. Sooo my manager then asked me why I wasted so much time building it when static images would have been fine. I lost my cool and yelled at my manager "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT TOLD ME TO GET A FULLY FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM WORKING!" Then I stormed out of the meeting.
It is still the coolest thing I ever built. Too bad it will never see the light of day.3 -

Worked for a friend of mine in the early 2000s. Had to implement a booking system into PHP for some private customer. This was PHP 4.something, the CMS was some alpha release of an open source project that my friend was sure was the future (it wasn't), and the specs were one A4 page of pencil scribbles that he took while talking to the customer.
Deadline was insane, nothing worked. I worked from getting up to laying down to get shit done, not being able to sleep, feeling stressed all the time. One week before roll-out I actually managed to get it running and we showed it to the customer. He was like "nope, that's not what I meant" and demanded lots of changes but accepted only one or two weeks of roll-out delay.
I did finish the job, made some good money, but then quit as soon as it was done.
This experience broke me so much that I worked in a workshop for 2 years to get away from programming as far as I possibly could.2 -
That paranoia feeling when you push an upgrade and something stops working, you rollback, it still doesn't work..

So I’m learning bootstrap basic and some javascript yesterday, it worked kinda well and today I’m planning on putting datetimepicker on my training project. Spent half a day trying to figure out why it didn’t work only to realise I turned off script on my internet options and when it finally worked, I found out that you can do that with html alone but need a newer version of browser.
Why am I even bother at the first place... -
When booting my handwritten kernel, and it actually worked! Without a doubt the most exciting thing.1

I worked about two years on a browser game without using any version control. I also thought it would be nice to have absolutely no comments in the code.

So I pulled an OLD ibm out of a trailer, that is literally falling down, today. Anyway, this cpu had been rained on and been in extremes of heat, and cold, so much so that there was moss growing on it.
I pulled it out and plugged it in, with the original plug *that was rusted in*, and.. it worked. The screen and everything worked perfectly! The floppy disk that hadn't been used in over 14 years and was stuck inside the reader, worked...
Mind blown!
As the old saying goes, they don't make 'em like they used to.3 -

Developing a web app that I'm sure was touched by Satan himself. Bugs come out from no where.
Yesterday when I left everything worked. Today when I arrived nothing works! Lots of angular errors. WTF. No one else worked on it . :O4 -
Man nothing quite like reworking some code to make it 'better' so that nobody has to read it top to bottom to make a change.
And then months later get a request and think "Oh crap that code".... and you go in and find the little hooks you added made a 3 or 4 hour (or more) change into a 15 minute task.

It's important to redo old projects and ideas, here is why:
I worked on a project about 6 months ago, it was mostly just a "coding challenge" and I worked on the project for 3 days and I didn't get it to work. But I started working on the project again from scratch 2 days ago and I got it to work this time!
The moral of this story:
Just making new projects makes it hard to see how much you've grown and improved. But redoing old projects (even if they worked) gives you a concrete representation on how much you've improved (and if you have at all😉)3 -
Worked with a team on a mobile app project. The system needed to contact a system coded in php.
When a call was made to php, it would be stored in a variable $call. Weirdly it never worked. After spending days trying to find the bug, it turned out that a junior Dev had created a variable $call in another file that was being included into the api file.
We partied the day the bug was fixed 😎 -

I really wish I had worked somewhere that was hacked, so as to know how it was done, how it was found out, and what measures were taken, from the inside.
The problem is that I worked at a lot, and big places. We were never successfully attacked or hacked as far as I know. Was our security so good, that nobody succeeded? Or was it so bad, that we didn't even notice? -

Fucking hate working with dotnet. Just spent half an hour fixing the most fucked up bug.
So I installed a nuget package on my computer, tested everything, it worked, and pushed. My classmates then pulled it to their pc, and holy hell broke loose.
Everything was red, it couldn't even import System! By a turn of luck, I looked in the .csproj file, and saw that it had made an absolute path to the nuget package on my computer. Well no fucking wonder it only worked on mine then!
And here's the weird thing: it only did it now, it hasn't done it with the other packages we've imported3 -

The story goes like this (typical): adding a new feature creates a bug with something that worked perfectly until now. I find and solve the bug in a few minutes.

My fifth job was a recruiter. First time that ever worked. But it does work.
The biggest thing to remember that in an interview you are selling yourself. So you need to understand a little of sales and marketing. -

Worked with Linux for a few years, now I need to write something for Windows so I installed and got to it.
God the pathing hurts my eyes. -
Just spent the last hour working out how something worked because I didn't write any documentation and it was a hack in the first place. Damn You Past Me!3

I worked for 14 hrs continuously for my school project which was the best and hard experience for me.
it still hurts... so much work for just few marks -
Has anyone here worked on news scraping?
I am currently doing my academic project where I need to scrap the news headlines. I have built scrappers for some news sources using their native API. I also tried using newsapi.org, but it returns only 10 results.
If anyone have worked on similar projects or know of their existence, some advice would be highly appreciated.5 -
today i almost had my first intentional 'fuck it, i declare this bug a feature'-moment. then it suddenly worked. i don't know whether to be happy for it to work or to be annoyed not knowing what the hell happened.3
-
I wanted to automate the install of a toolchain which had just a manual install script. Piped `yes` into the installer and it worked just fine. Only downside, it always installs to 'y' 😅
-
I am I the only one who doesn't like sprint demos? I don't care what someone else worked on. Yeah they wrote some code that does stuff, great. I don't have time to understand it and when I have to fix it I learn it.

So.. playing around with jquerys load() function because I'm trying to implement some updating functionality to a specific div. After researching a bit, it didn't seem like it would be too difficult.. but I could not for the life of me figure out why my template was not displaying! I tried testing with just some basic html and it worked fine. Even took a few snippets from my template and again.. it worked. As soon as I copy/pasted my whole template, the page renders nothing. I was seriously getting frustrated so I started entering the template manually testing each line. It worked until I got to this special div container I made.. went and looked at the css properties for it and..
display: none;
*facepalm*
I forgot I had set it to none because I was using jquerys fadeIn() function xD seriously?? -
Window.print()
"OMG it worked after I contacted you last time, now it isn't working again today. WE NEED TO GET THIS FIXED!!!"
Jebus fuck people....2 -
The backup schedule in a company that I worked for. I mean, there was no automation it was all manual!!...can you even call that backup planning?2
-
Working from development environment. New API module works like a charm.
Migrated to production. Whole CRM breakes down.
Migraine intensifies. -
The coolest project that I have worked on is still a work in progress. It is a dashboard that uses signalR that integrates with team city, active directory and Google calendar. It's definitely one of the coolest things I have worked on to date.

wtf is up with node-sass? Basically every project I've ever worked on breaks because it can't build with node-gyp anymore or whatever6

I'm a Beginner Web Developer. I know Angular2, Nodejs , Mongodb, Html, css, JavaScript but never have I ever worked with Wordpress. Is it a bad thing?14

Have you guys used modafinil to stay focus for long hours be it coding or studying. I worked 15 hours none stop3

3 months ago i started as a helpdesk support for a business application. This week i'm promoted as Junior Programmer worked hard for it but it paid off :)

Well, apples terrible keyboard is back after a short hiatus. It worked almost flawlessly for ONE update, but it's now back to its terrible illogical awful nonsense.2
-
My internship 2 years ago. Worked 6 months for absolutely no cash. Still really enjoyed it, learned so much from amazing people.
-
My co-working space was too loud, so I created an app to shush them automatically
(that's the name)
It actually worked :-)

I've heard "someone" saying, that typescript and c# are somewhat similar. Now I've never worked with c#, but I still doubt it. What do you, human of devRant, think?8
-
I guess there was some time where The Doctor also worked in it.
Because its so true as well for it. 😂

That wonderful feeling when you modify a piece of code that you worked hard to get it down to run in 3 minutes flat take 8 minutes when you add a little fault tolerance to it 😑5
-
I worked hard to learn it so I can impress and then ended up loving way too much that it became my career.
-
How does this function not work??? It worked TWO phucking days ago... WHYYYYYY??? I hate compilerbuilding4
-
Seventeen. I worked for 17 hours to pull off a POC of a feature no one thought was possible (at that time). It wasn't clean beautiful code, but hey, it worked! It's live now and I still smile when the feature is used.
-
I never worked as freelancer, but I'm thinking to start as far as I keep studying, and I was wondering... How do freelancers charge their client when they get paid x per hour?
How do they assure the client they worked for a certain amount of hours?
Do they do it by prediction or they say they'll work y hours per day?
Feels like a dumb question...2 -
The guy worked 4 days building a nice challenging feature.
Fucking spend 30 more minutes to write a documentation on how it works bc is like you did nothing. -
I live in a world of wonder ... wonder how I did that? Wonder why it worked? Wonder if I can repeat that?
-
Had an idea for a devrant tv show, worked in characters and plotline, wrote things down... Took too long to realize it was silicon valley and the it guys...
-
Most days I want to weep as I recognize having worked on precisely the same thing earlier but noone seems to want to admit it.1
-
The thing i worked for last 3 weeks has been scrapped.
Knew it was coming.
I'm glad the real boss is not unrealistic and impractical like my boss. -
Who remembers seeing this?
I had many family members annoyed as it never worked for them, I ended up having to disable the update checker for them xD

Today was a satisfying day... I could code nearly all day 😃 (even when it was VBA and not Java - it was a nice diversion) - and in the end everything worked 🕺
-
I wasn’t able to run a bash script right now using ./script.sh as I was getting an error “Command not found.” I tried running it using source command instead of ./ and it worked! What’s going on here?9
-
Can someone tell me why this worked
`int percentHealth = (getHealth() * 100) / maxHealth;`
But this didn't work
`int percentHealth = (getHealth() / maxHealth) * 100;`
It stressed me out for +2 hours.8 -
28 hours. It was my company's first react native project.
I had to learn it and finding it. At the end I fucked up the project just before deadline. So worked 28 hours row to fix it.1 -
Is there anyone out there who uses absolutely everything JIRA has to offer? I've worked with it since starting my career and I still find it a massive fucking overkill.
-
Worked super hard the whole sprint on a module to get it perfect, only to find out today that 90% of it was just changed and will need to be redone next sprint.

I wanted to resetup my gitea on a newnserver and now? I can't connect with the postgres db and i have literally no idea why. it fucking worked when it ran on my old debian and now it won't even connect.
😭 -
funny thing. My apple account is not logged in cuz of payment method. But it just worked. You just have to try it again and again like 17th times, so that's how you do it.
-
Made big change got the way some code worked. Fixed one error in my code that always causes an exception, and expected to spend another hour working on the code until it works, then having it compile and run without problems after fixing that issue. I was shocked it actually worked the way it should.
-
Yeah it's just me.
*when your recursion function suddenly worked and you still can't figure out why it worked...*
Guess I need to improve on my algorithms more. Just can't wrap my head around even a quite simple recursion. I'm certain this won't last long. -
Just rewrote a whole process for the past two days and didn't test it till now. Other than few changes it worked perfect. I've feel so accomplished.
-
To those who have worked in mad RAD solo environments, with next to no testing...
...and those who have worked full Agile, with high code coverage, code review amongst hoards of T-shaped developers...
...how much difference does it make to wellbeing and upskilling in the two?
Bonus points if you have done both and can compare in an n=1 way.2 -
I've decided to try and learn F#, but when I search the job sites, it *always* comes up with 0 jobs. Has anyone worked anywhere that uses it?4

What is your worst project you have worked on ?
Ans) my self, I have worked on CMS project called as Ellis pathway, which is my ever worst project I have worked on. It was developed on the language called omnimark, have you by any chance heard about it ?. Moreover it was used to process XML and the worst nightmare would when XML is 500mb and it is not valid after process. I have spent shit lot of hours fixing XML manually.. I literally fucked my self there. Thank God I somehow managed to quit and move on. -
I wouldn't say it is the worst. But it certainly had a lot of problems.
Alice
The 3D platform with drag and drop code. You could do a lot, but God help you if you didn't have a fast computer.
The worst is that it didn't have an auto save feature back when I worked on it. (No idea if they ever patched that)
You were SOL if you worked for an hour and forgot to save anything.4 -
Trying to understand why the last guy who worked on my current project gutted out the framework specific data layer and replaced it with component-level ajax calls4
-
The worst thing ever is freaking NS datatypes, who thought that was a good idea? My code looked fine and worked fine till you made it spaghetti, thanks apple
-
My best coworker was probably my last boss and team. We always were able to help each other out when needed and really worked as a team. It was great except no one worked onsite so it's not like we could go get drinks or lunch.

I worked on a game about or politicians sending home tourists, is a brawler. I'm still working on it tho.
-
I've only worked with perforce for 4 months in an internship. Didn't like it. I always think like everything should be replaced by git. What are your thoughts on this?2
-
I wrote a script, modified + tested it and that worked fine 6 months ago. I expected to use it then but didn't but all good so i kept a special branch for my script which generates data from old db, formats it to new db structure and dumps it into a collection. In fact, i ran one of the scripts last month (360 records) and it worked fine. Today, when i need to migrate 14,000 records, script refuses to run. I am ready to fight the universe because wtf.
-
Jira is powerful tool, especially when we combine it with Bitbucket. But, have you ever worked in a company where for example creating feature branch or merging PR changed jira ticket status? Personally I have never seen such automation, even if all clients I have worked for always complained about dev not changing statuses in jira.5

Worked on an iOS app that had horrendous rotation animation. Instruments to the rescue and worked at a colleague was using a resizable image with insets greater than the size of the image. Meaning when iOS tried to render the image it was doing a bunch of division by zero which was grinding the device to a halt.
-
DB migrations give the chills.
This one went well. It worked as expected but that "uneasy" feeling lingers... -
When you change some code which perfectly worked out of boredom. You realise it still works (or at least it looks like it does). You begin to wonder why. You never find out.3

Hackerrank
Pros:
- A lot of problems for developer to practice.
- Free.
Cons:
- Code worked on your machine does not mean it will on Hackerrank.2 -
I've spent weeks trying to figure out how to set up Visual Shit 2017 with wxWidgets and still haven't figured it out. None of those settings I modified (project properties) worked at all. Months, probably, but just gave up at the end everytime. Nothing I tried worked, but the first time I tried setting it up for CodeLite on Ubuntu, it worked like a charm. All I wanted was to be able to develop cross-platform applications with wxWidgets, was it really that hard? I haven't even thought about cross-compilation from Ubuntu for Windows yet, the very though fills me with dread.
Why the fuck is it so hard to develop something so simple using Windows?2 -
How many of you know about Microsoft SharePoint, and if so, how many of you worked on it and how was your experience?9
-
What are your thoughts on OpenShift? Having never worked with it, I need to figure out if I want to for the next 12 months or find something else.
-
Has anyone here worked with OpenCL ? I was interested in learning it for a while but couldnt find any reliable course/tutorial or even sane documentation to follow. And is it even worth it now!?4
