When your boss asks you to debug some crappy legacy code and you need to bring in the heavy artillery
7 -
Client: This works correctly, but I don’t like the code.
Me: What exactly do you not like?
Client: There are barely any lines of code. You need to add more to make it better.
I...I don’t know what to say.25 -
Me: I need a Windows PC to test my code on.
Server dude: We don't have any free, but I can setup an old server for you.
Me: 🤔 .. I'll take it!

Boss throwing up a huge source code that I didn't see before.
Boss: Hey, this is an app from a contractor to do XYZ.
Me: Oh, okay.. so?
Boss: You will continue the code and the maintenance now. How much time do you need to implement X feature?
Me: I need to see the code first, can't say nothing now.
Boss: ok I need estimation now.
Me: *getting nervous* I need to see the fuckening code first. if you want estimation now I would say one year..
Boss: what?
Me: what?18 -
One of my worst meetings, as the sheer rage was unbelievable.
Backstory:
Architect: "Stop duplicating code", "stop copy pasting code", "We need to reuse code more", "We need to look at a new pattern for unit tests" etc.
Meeting:
Architect: What did you want to talk about?
Me: I built a really simple lightweight library to solve a lot of our problems. Its built to make unit testing our code much easier, devs only need to change a small bit of how they work.
Architect: I like the pattern a lot, looks great ... but why a library? can we not just copy the code from project to project?
... do you have a twin or something?2 -
Me to IT team: I need a more powerful machine to run my optimization code on.

Boss:(pastes a bunch of Python code in Slack)
Boss: Need to convert a long list of ints to a comma separated string. Can you finish it for me? Need it now, I'm in a hurry!!
Me : (Delete all boss's code)

Boss: Damn you! Thanks. Brunch on me today.5 -
To everyone that writes their rants and comments as code like

Stop, get some help.
You don't need to prove that you know how to print a string okay ?15 -
Anyone else notice this trend:
1. Don't go to uni / drop out (who needs education).
2. Get a job in IT, it pays well (who cares you don't have a structured logic).
3. Learn need-to-know stuff only (I only need to know my code).
4. Tell others they should get into programming, it's not that hard.
5. Get asked about the workings of a computer, but that's not in your domain of work. "I only code".
Millennial much ?13 -

A new urgent request today…
“ITS URGENT WE NEED THIS CODE IN IMMEDIATELY I DONT CARE IF ITS FRIDAY WE NEED IT THERE BY ONE HOUR”
“What is happening?”
“ADD THIS CODE TO OUR CODE”
(A snippet to track marketing conversions from fb)
“Uhhh it’s Friday and our product won’t release to the public for 2 months anyway?”
“YOU DONT GET HOW URGENT IT IS, MUST BE THERE IN AN HOUR OR WE’LL LOSE DATA”
“O….k”
Spoiler: data said that today we had no customers on an unreleased project. Go figure!5 -
I code for fun until it isn’t any fun anymore, then I code because I need to finish.

"Why do you need version control? The latest code is all we need."
An email from a bosses new deputy to us...5 -
Team says their code is done, tested, and working. They have merged all of their code and now to merge it with mine.
Take care of the merge, go to test it, and NONE OF IT WORKS.
Ok... So maybe something in my code did it. NOPE. Still crashes without mine.
Thank goodness for version control.
Now need to help define what "tested and working" means...4 -
When the client says "I just need a really easy edit, shouldn't take more than a few minutes."

Hey. I have a code that hits API to get details and multithreading is implemented. Can you just change the URL formed to hit Api?
Me
Yeah sure why not.

After some time I discover that the initial code itself wasn't working 😐
I realise i need to fix code, fix multithreading and then make the URL changes.
Just finished......Realised had to rant....1 -
Goes to first job interview. Great interview but, can you send some code?
-Sure-
Sends requested js, css html files.
Great code, we want to speak to you again!
Goes to second interview, waits 15m, meets the sales department. Sales? Wtf?
Great interview but, can you send more code?
Errr?
We need some native JS to really make sure you can write code.
You could've emailed this request before the interview b*tch. That way id save time hurrying in rain and traffic jams!4 -
Here's a conversation I had at work:
Me: "this project that I've inherited, aside from the UI problems it has, it also has severe code problems that need to be fixed"
Project Manager: "I don't care about the code. The code is not my concern. Don't waste time on it and just make the app look good."5 -
Java's System.out.println because it's too effing long to write!

I explained my latest project to a non developer friend. I told him I'm almost done with the code, now I just need to debug and get it ready for production.

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?"

How much legacy code do I need to understand and fix before I add Software Archeologist to my LinkedIn?6
-
Currently, I am going through a legacy application built in microsoft access back in 90s.
* No Comments
* No Relationships between tables
* Random code that does nothing
* Weird form layouts
* Weird naming conventions
I need to copy this functionality into modern version using SQL Server Management studio and asp.net core, I also need to kill myself because none of this fucking shit fucking fuck makes sense.
I do my best to write clean and concise code along with comments but after this ordeal I am going to up my game because nobody should need to suffer through spaghetti code and stupid logic that is uncommented.
😶6 -
It's surprising the times I actually become lazy to code:
It's not when I need to probe the problem to figure out possible solutions, but rather when I know exactly what the solution is, but will require tons of code.5 -

PM approves all UI and project gets assigned to me. He then makes tons of UI changes that will affect the workflow of the approved UI. To this point, code was clean and well documented. I request a few days to re arrange the code to reflect the new workflow. PM says: I need a minimal product. I don't need it clean. I want speed to ship and start marketing. That's where I stopped caring.. To the next dev, I am terribly sorry..2

JIT Learning. Just in time Learning. You Don't need read a book from cover to cover. YAGNI. Many technical books talk about topics that you might never need in your career. Focus on what you need to know after making a plan for what you want to achieve.
YAGNI applies to coding as well. Don't create a class or a method just because you Might need it later. Create them only when necessary. This keeps your code cleaner and there is less to test.4 -

Siemens Step7 code block protection (PLC's).. It was designed to lock code that you don't want others to be able to read. All blocks are in a dbf file, so you just need to find the block record and uncomment one line, voila - source code available.
Given the massive use of Siemens PLC's on plants all over the world, and the simplicity of hacking via S7 protocol, usually Internet connected, it's a breeze to steal or modify the controllers code with possible critical implications.

Write a piece of code that works just fine and it's fairly extensible in 20 minutes.
Then proceed to spend the rest of your night rethinking and replacing said piece of code numerous times, with slightly more elegant code.

Something that really bothers me about the oop idea of "oop allows better code reuse" is the fact that I have yet to encounter a situation where I need to reuse old code for a new project.

The frustration that comes to each developer when he tries to write the code structured by thinking through each situations, and your team lead comes and tells you why r you doing so much validations just hard code them we need to release it today client is waiting.

CTO s shouldn't write software once there are more than 50 devs in the company. They shouldn't make tech decisions. It is time for you to back off and help with more important things.

Code is a highly detailed description of what a computer should do. If that description becomes inaccurate we will remove inaccurate parts. Take pride in writing good code, recognize that it was useful for a while, but don’t get attached to it. It will stay in the git history.
If you see code as your baby, know that the team might need to kill your baby.1 -
FUUCCK! These two lines of code just cost me 6 hours of debugging... At least I learned I need to fix my Deserialization code too.

I read the source code of a guy who decided to name his variables, functions, and comments in Spanish which is not a language I'm familiar with. So I need to first translate the code into English and then understand what it does.1

Co-worker: "You don't need to know the math! Stop going on about it."
Me: "I think you do for some things, my algebra is not good at all, I need to improve it a lot and I just think you should too."
Co-worker: "Oh stop it, If the code runs it's OK!"
Me: "Well yeah, the code runs but you're over-fitting like a mad man and have a P-value of a bejillion."
Co-worker: "What!?"

Just married, sold my expensive laptop to pay some debts, and waiting for a very cheap refurbished laptop that I just bought. Can't wait longer!! Need to code something in React!3

Another student pushed code to Github. Asked why there wasn't a single comment. He said there was no need since he used good names for his variables... *sigh*

Is there a name for the phenomenon whereby you iteratively modify code to try to fix a bug, with no apparent result, and then realize it's an entirely different part of the code causing the issue, but the parts you were modifying actually did need modifying too?2

"My code is explain itself. Well, I need no comments to understand it."
I don't care if you wan't to write comments or not; If don't write any then i don't care because fuck you and your code.
May it be java, kotlin, python, javascript or anyother language, you think "everyone can read", i hope you'll never find anyone who has to deal with you and your cancerous code.7 -
Spot what's wrong with this command!
It took me 10 minutes scratching head to find it out. This is why we still need to use our brain when copy paste-ing code.

!Rant
Help/ideas needed
I need ideas of projects to develop in my free time, I'm tired of the old technology and ugly projects from work, I want to develop something new, fun, to feel the excitement of coding again ;)
The field does not matter i'm willing to learn.
And , no , I can get another job, that is not an option because of the special benefits it's offering that I can not find in another company(very flexible schedule, I'm a student and need it).5 -
Do you reckon learning the patience you need to write/debug code actually trains you to deal with all the other crap you have to put up with being a developer?1

"I'll go to bed on the hour."
1 minute past the hour:
"Dang, I'll need to wait until the next hour and get more code written." -
Be patient seem to be basic, but after many hors of unsucessfull code i'ts a challenge.
So take a break if your need one. -
If I have to train one more person, or answer the same question for the 100 times I'm gonna loose it. I just want...need to code

installing macos was a mistake. breaking all the builds and now I need to reinstall all the tools which will force me to update the code .2

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.

Hello friends 😊
I just need to get this of my chest
But at my school we currently have this project where we need to create a webapp eventually which is nice. BUT first we NEED to spend a whole semester documenting stuff! I mean some things are necessary I know that! But a whole semester ffs I'm studying to be programmer so I WANT TO CODE STUFF
Why is my school like this 😩16 -
Always comment your code.
Write comments that explain the reason for this piece of code existing, and why it's written the way it is.
Don't write comments that explain what your code does (unless it's a comment which is going to be parsed as documentation for an API). If your code needs comments to explain what it's doing, you need to write clearer code. -
There are tools i use more often, but a place in my heart is reserved for ILSpy.
It shows IL code as c# code and it helped me so much at understanding how components work.
Best moment was when a support guy from a company told me stuff that wasn't correct according to the code...
...no need to tell him. Hope it stays unencrypted :-D -
It sucks that you need to transition to other roles.
Started as front-end dev, now I have to write PL/SQL code. Which I don't like and not confident as NodeJS, Vue, React, Angular4, Java, etc. -
My advice: simply code and work out things on the fly.
You will maybe need to rewrite something, but thats ok. The more you do on the fly, the better!5 -
So all my code is Lambda serverless funcs, hurray!
But I still need NAT gateway / VPC endpoints that cost $50pm to reach S3 from private VPC so what's the fucking point?!1 -
So I started learning Java and there are lots of boilerplate code. To use some Date functions there is a requirement to import it first before you can use it lol. In PHP and JS no need to import anything so less code.20

I’d like so advice, sometimes I need to code for pretty much 2-3 days straight
I try to power nap on occasion as I know being tired can have a bit of an effect.
I need to stay alert so I was wondering what tips and tricks people may have to help
As I need to stay away from caffeine now 😒 -
Why would you post your code on GitHub and charge to use it. I'm not using your servers your not providing me any service I need but you still expect me to pay for open source code you posted yourself. What is going through your mind. To come up with that business plan7

How to know that you need a rest?
You see a code:
```

$q->where('disabled', false);

I really don't like the anxiety when Xcode crashes, I need to force quit it and really really hope that my code is saved...

I thought my code was bad and that was why it was taking twice as long as any other group to run
No it’s just Illinois the state my group was assigned has almost 2000 more data rows to scrape compared to any other group. My code wasn’t running slow. It just had longer to run
I’ve spent 4 days trying to fucking refactor and improve my code Ignoring clean code and attempting clever code to run faster and now I need to revert back to clean code since no one else in my group would be able to understand or work on the damn file if I left it at clever
Fucking hell 😫1 -
Now that I've got most everything in my personal project working, I realize I need to rewrite everything... My code and infrastructure is absolutely horrible 😅3

Is it normal that I have to first study like 2 or 3 days before I can start to code something I don't know very well? My mentor probably thinks I don't know anything. Whatever... I need to implement JWT and I need time to study because I find it complex.2
-
I kinda want to expand my repertoire with some web development skills. I already know some front end .net. What do you suggest I start with? I heard someone say react+PHP is a good combo3

Noob question
Is it better to implement a cryptpgraphic algo in a function or in a class? Also how?
More info:
I have a cryptography class and I really enjoy implementing the different techniques that we study in class. At first I was just implementing the techniques in a simple function with 3 parameters; key, message and a bool for encryption or decryption. But as they are getting more complex, it is becoming harder to continue implementing them in a single function block. So I thought of using a class but ran into the problem of how do I even do that? Do I make different methods for key generation, encrypting and decrypting?
P.S. It's really just for learning how the crypto technique works and not for anything serious.12 -
Documentation-driven development, we need to start treating documentation on the level we treat code. Thoughts?2

Good way to code:
vim
Bad way to code:
No-code. Frontpage. IA-assisted. Winmac. No you don't need bytecode. WYSYWYG. IDEs.
If I was the president of programming those people would be on their way to the moon.23 -
learning to code while working as not a dev. Gives freedom but zero experience. Need experience but lack confidence :(6

Together with colleagues from University of Zurich I am conducting a survey about skills for code review! With this survey, we aim to investigate skills that reviewers need to perform an efficient code review. Our main goal is to improve developers' code review practices. Therefore, we are looking for developers with experience as code reviewers. This questionnaire takes 15-20 minutes and consists of 21 questions.

I don’t like commented code in a project, I always remove commented code whenever I see. But sometimes these removed commented codes need again to add by uncommenting.
I can get the code by seeing the git history but if only I can remember I removed that portion of code. So is there is any best approach to manage commented code, which may require in real future?3 -
Why do PMs always think that comments/commit messages > the actual code?
If I need to know why it's coded that way, I need to check the code.
I get you want to know what's going on, but seriously, don't make me rewrite the code in English. You already know the ticket it's for and have the summary as the PR message (especially for code that the character changes can be counted on 1 hand)13 -
Code::Blocks, because why make it look nice, bother having any auto-complete functions, actually ensuring all of the built in C++ functions work and not having the need to sometimes have to be closed down and restarted to build and run the code 😤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 -
Me 3 weeks ago: I need the changes to make so I can add them to the code.
Hours before the change is scheduled, I receive a list of 100 changes to make.1 -
So when i was playing saxophone, I realized that music and coding are just the same. When you get a new score to play you need to start over by learning how to play it. When you code and start a new project you need to start from zero. When you play the score over and over you learn from your mistakes. When you code you debug your faults when there is something wrong in your code. At the exam you need to make no faults when you play music. When you’re at the deadline. There shouldn't be no faults in your code

Is it too optimistic for me to think like this?
Lecturer: Your assignment is to write a netprobe with C++. Using thread pool for multiple request... It is really easy with around 300 lines of code.
Me: There is one week before the deadline. On average I just need to write around 40lines of code per day!1 -
sometimes need to learn about how people thinking much more than computer do. like visualitaion your "magic" code with some people want.

If you feel that you need to make systems to enforce code standards... The team actually needs to learn to self-enforce your code standards. If an automated tool is determining standards it will be tricked into allowing clean-looking code with poor design choices into your project.

Depends on what style means...
How I format the code: language, team/style-check rules, IDE auto format settings
How I structure my code and design programs: experience... Mainly from blowing stuff up, having to rewrite monolith code, trying to understand other people's shitty code and why they can't seem to organize it better so you don't need to be a surgeon or God to even attempt to figure out wtf it's doing and how it works... Or supposed to work. -

Do you sometimes feel like you need to put those lenses in cuz you can't see the damn code only to later remove them because you start feeling as if it weren't you staring at the code but the code staring at you.
And by making it a bit harder to see, you somehow find it easier to focus.6 -
Radeon graphics driver crashed again.
I hope one day they will actually fix it but the light of my hope grows dimmer every day.
Hire some talent?
Rewrite their code in Rust?
Do some static code analysis?
Better modularity?
Some code reviews? Proofreading?
I am at a loss of words. The crashes need to stop.8 -

Why devrant should have an inbuilt code editor
1. it can be easier to read than just reading code someone wrote in their rant
2. it would be way easier and indented plus added syntax highlighting should be good
please add a code editor to dev rant it would erase having the need to decipher everything in a chat xD15 -

Apparently i need to to "import" the devrant swag. Just today a post arrived in the mail which says i need to fill up a kyc form and need an importer exporter code for a shipment that is stuck in customs. Wtf man!. I tracked the package and it is from usa. The only thing that could arrive from usa is devrant swag. And now i need to go through filling so many forms so that i can slap some stickers on my laptop. My life is not easy.

Arrgh...
I need to do a lot of refactoring and testing (%80 percent of which is integration) and ITS SO TEDIOUS!!!
Now, for anyone who says "oh, you write spaghetti code, your code shouldn't be so tedious to refactor". No. It's only tedious because it's a few thousand lines that I've been too lazy to refactor till now, and I need to go through it all.
Anybody have any advice for refactoring or testing in Go?17
