Does anyone feel overwhelmed by all the new technologies? It's like every developer nowadays code in JS, and knows ES6, React, webpack, babel by heart. I have been working in Java for less than a decade and sometimes feel like I can't catch up. Even in Java ecosystem there is now Scala, Groovy, Gradle, Kotlin... Not to mention other languages like Python, Swift... How do you guys have time to pick up everything?? 😖

The only apple device worth buying

Anyone else here ever used a bit of bluff to land a job?

Trying to fix bugs..

If you are not breaking stuff, you are not learning.

"I don't need a separate drive for backups"

To the new devs:
Never push production on friday

I know a few developers who do this 😂

Code reuse.

CSS can kill you!

"The server is flooded!"

"With requests? DDoS?"

"No."

" I can't wait to install that Java update" - said No One Ever

True ?

"So, why do you want to work at our office in mexico?"
"I want to be a señor developer."

If we ever colonize Mars or if we even go further I am already feeling sorry for the poor bloke that will have to work on DateTime library.

Worst part of being a web dev is spending the majority of your life making stuff you'll never touch with your hands

Backend vs. Frontend

"I wrote the code, I have to maintain the code, I wont need any comments"

*some months later*

Finally decided to quit from my current job. Fuck it. They still don't understand that an estimate is an approximation. They still don't understand that I have to fix all the shit made by all the contractors they hire and pay much more than me to implement solutions that work only until they leave the building, something that many barely understand but pretend to be experts in. I quit because of the managers that have no clue about what's happening although I stress them to make changes.

Should I care less about the product an just ship shit? Should I just do my tasks first and stop really helping others but pretend to do so?

Fuck it. I've tried to get it right they want it wrong but in a nice box. I'm an engineer not a fucking magician.

Too true, too true...

Let's play a little game.
Your code has been overwritten.

Who's General Failure & why's he reading my disk?

I've a recently joined developer hired from campus sitting next to me.

She: I'm printing an array in Java but it's not working. Could you please check what's wrong?

I see this piece of code:

printArray(arr);

Me: Where is the printArray method?

She: (With a puzzled look) Oh, do I have to declare that?

Me: 😶😶😶 (lowered my head, walked away slowly praying for the company)

When you have 113 build errors to fix, but you find a bubble wrap to pop.

I'm thinking about making a new JS framework. Anyone knows a good JS framework for that?

Don't you try me👊😈

The worst part of being a dev is the inability to leave a problem, any problem, unsolved.

Best part of being a dev?

The feeling when everything is going so well that you start suspecting that something is wrong.

sometimes the worst part of being a dev is:
LEGACY CODE.
