DeVry university

A private college (not funded by the public purse). As a result, the tuition fees are high; the good side to this is that you won't fuck around when you're spending all that money for the course. DeVry grads are respected and you are virtually guaranteed that you will be able to get a job when you graduate. I have worked with many DeVry grads in my field (electronics) and have found them to be used to hard work, putting in a good effort, achieving results, and doing fine work. Also they are notably on time for meetings and they come prepared.

Oh, the new hire went to DeVry...I can't foresee us having any problems with his/her on-the-job training phase.

The Old DeVry Try

Similar to The old college try but with even less effort; less like "college," more like "trade school."

"As soon as he pulled into the McDonald's drive-thru and seriously asked what I wanted, I knew he was only giving this 'date' The Old DeVry Try."

Derya

devrant

It's the ray of fucking sunshine in a developer's perpetually annoying lifestyle. It is developer-made for developer-use.
An anonymous social platform where the app owners/founders/creators ACTUALLY LISTEN to user feedback!

Developers who have made up a million fucking ways to ask their fucktard co-worker/boss/client to go die, can exchange their creativity for ++s.
It's a platform to channel their rage into a creative rant and calm down a bit. It's like taking a long, deep, virtual breath.

Useless software/apps that behave like they were developed by 5 year olds, also take a hit sometime.

PS - Addiction is a common side effect.

I'm a dev. I have a rant. Uh.. devrant
