Reality is 10 quintillion loc in js in one file

The one and only purpose of an interview should be to find out if we (me and the company) can get along. Al the rest is HR bs.

In short: corporate amateurism

@horus so, so... It was a screen capture of meeting where she was yawning.I enlarged the yawn 😁

The mobile version doesn't look much better

You could try rdp, never did it with a mac, but apparently it's possible

@asgs it's unbelievable that this app is being sold as top noth tech and the boss asks us to call our server provider to ask why her app runs slow

@asgs hehe nope, 59 times a list of 186 permissions as supervisor

I gave up looking into it, but my guess is that for each thing loading, a call is made in order to see if it may be shown on screen or not. 🤯

Raw Coding, Nick Chapsas, healthy software developer,...

Now NIN's Copy of A... is stuck in my head 👍

The worst is a manager who has been in business for over 20 years and still doesn't know shit

this happens to me at least once a week

Put on a headset while talking to the rubber duck and pretend you're on the phone with a coworker

@electrineer That guy earned 3x what I earned and was not stressed. I still somehow feel I don't have enough experience to be a freelancer, but maybe I have to rethink my career

@scor belgium 🥳

@IntrusionCM I know. I sometimes wonder what hell I am doing here...

We have clients complaining that a full A4 text is not readable on an A6 label, so they ask us to use a bigger font 😳

Also:
4. If your only attempt in solving your problem are thoughtless copy/paste actions from so, don't bother me

@PonySlaystation Don't forget inefficient management and unreasonable time frames

@PonySlaystation In March it's one year anniversary, then I will flip the table 😁

@PonySlaystation Nope, junior doing senior stuff takes longer, so... 🙁

@PonySlaystation

No comments
No docs
No unit tests
.NET 2.0 and deprecated nugett packages
Microservices w duplicate code all over the place
Micromanagement w/o planning
No IT'ers, network specialists, or helpdesk people for +50 clients
+ 500 open bugs for +20 projects

Fun, fun, fun....

Indeed a mix of the two is best imo. While wfh makes me feel more productive, that feeling doesn't last long, because I also feel trapped in my bedroom/desk for appr. 16 hours a day/night

That's not a joke

@bahua that's exactly how I would do it if I was in charge

@sariel I don' t even have full access to the server and if only I knew anything of those old projects, I could ask those updates to the IT department of the client. It's databases, reportservers, services, and what not... Now it's trial and error. And above all, I'm a junior dev who hasn't written a line of code for 3 weeks now because of shitty tasks day after day 😡

Daily routine here, in a company pretending to be on top of tech 😶

The comic is so true

4 hours far on monday:
Emails: 17
Closing tickets of supposed bugs that turn out to be stupidity of clients: 12
Phonecalls: 6
Meetings w manager: 2
Lines of code: 0

In 5 minutes we have stand up 🥳

@asgs there's no agreement whatsoever, only utter chaos all over the place

@Lucky-Loek I looked forward to experience them playing on dec. 12 in Brussels, due to new covid regulations it's now moved to nov 2022 😭
