This happened 2 years ago. With 1 year c++ application development experience in a big firm, the new company hired me as "intern". That moment I was like ok ok whatever then the nightmare began. They forced me to code on windows xp with visual studio200x with an old ass c++ (much older than my previous work, there's no string data type) and it has to work on IE. I told my supervisor that this code is obsolete and I need a new windows, IDE, and newer c++ to work on. He said he will get it done. 1 month passed I still sat my ass on the same chair with an old ass pc in front of me. Best thing I could do was designing a new web ui yet they still force me to work on their unfinished obsoleted codes. Well u know what? I quit 😒

    NO STRING DATA TYPE? WHICH C++ DIDN'T HAVE FUCKING STRINGS HOLY SHIT

    @filthyranter actually it has (my bad) but I still needs a lot of c++11 functions to ease the task. The point is why do I need to reinvent the wheel just to make the obsolete codes work?

    @dprm Oh, yes, developing on a WinXP machine with an outdated compiler isn't exactly conforming to modern standards.
