Just got asked "How much experience do you have with the current JavaScript standards? I'm talking ES6 and ES7" in an interview with what I assumed were technical people.

I chuckled and said "I'm comfortable with ES8" as a joke but everyone just nodded and moved on..

School forced me and two classmates to do a project for a company...

Apparently, the company got paid 20K for developing the app, and we're sitting here without even a thank you...

Worst part is:
Our final grade depends on this...

I believe this is why companies look for Junior Developers who actually know enough to be a mid or senior developer.

One day, a company that doesn't have the technical chops to know the difference between python and ruby hire a developer who is still in school. That developer doesn't know what he's worth, so the company gets him for pretty cheap. He does amazing things, takes last minute requests, learns some along the way, but eventually leaves because he just got contacted by a recruiter telling him how much he's really worth. He leaves, but the company needs to fill his spot. The company asks the former rockstar all the technologies he used to accomplish his job and throw that into a job description. The company could only really afford the junior so they keep all the stuff about being a junior, but because they need to maintain all the hodge podge stuff the previous developer put in, they need someone with experience enough to jump in.

"So we have 20GB of data, we need to show ALL of it on the graph ... oh yea it needs to work on mobile"

Girlfriend created a github account today, I'm so proud!

Build failed, 0 errors.

I don't need this shit...

Found in the source code of a site. Interesting.

Me right now.

So I'm working on a live map of my school's bus system, and I needed some filler images to test out how the stops were being drawn on each route...and honestly wish I could push this version to production

:o didn't know it

That's basically the current state of my project...

Had a dream that I was attacked by Apple fan boys while eating lunch because I had a dell laptop 😨

Going back to put in comments after you realise your code is actually going to be used by others after all

Went outside for a jobintervju ...

Isn't it just horrible to go outside and meet something called other people? My GF said it could be good for me, yeah right!

I even saw something called a sun. It was really bright, must be awful to have to watch that thing everyday.

rant.

when you're a programmer surrounded by designer friends, it feels frustrating sometimes.

people appreciate what they do more because they can clearly see the end product: beautifully designed ui, animated splash screens, clean colorful themes. even though it probably does squat other than to print statements.

then they look at your overly simple design and cant see the beautiful underlying code within.

end rant.

I have this project manager that is stuck in the 90s.
I have to constantly get their approval. I ask several questions in an email. I get only one question answered, the last one, everytime.

8 hours in the office yesterday without any tasks. 1 hour in today, still no tasks. I wonder how long this will go on for.

Plus side: so much time for reading about new [to me] tech

Last night I had a dream that I met some girl. We immediately clicked but the only thing I remember besides this is that she coded in Vim. 😁😁😁

Two years ago: company exec (Mac fan) buys a Surface Pro to show off our .NET application to customers as he travels. Hands it to me (I build releases) and I iron out a few Win 8 bugs since we'd always used Win 7 before. Get it set up, get to like the device a little, he takes it home... and returns it within 24 hours because he didn't mesh well with Windows. (Again, Mac user.)

8 months later he buys a Surface Pro again. I install our latest release, verify that everything is working as expected with hardware we normally don't use, and give him a controlled setup that will just work when he's at a customer site. Once again, he returns the Surface within 24 hours because he can't get used to Windows.

At least we verified Windows 8 compatibility, I guess.

Using a sleep timer for the progress bar

I thought I was a hardcore geek until I came on here.

Super chill enviroment tho

Programmers are some of the nicest people you will meet.

Except the 12 year old hackers.

Installing ubuntu for my friend. We verified that the progress bar was in fact moving.

Broke my glasses in half.
Not being able to see shit i took my 3D glasses apart and ziplocked my glasses lenses on the 3d glasses frame. Been using this version of my glasses for a good one and a half year. Yeap

ever got a task to modify legacy code and when you looked at it you were like... burning it with fire is the only way!

z-index: 999999999

developing Android application for reporting Road events....
I was late to submit an update consisting of the Users Report History with options to view, delete and Re-report(which didn't make sense since it's reported already).....
I had to put a Toast to thank user for reporting but literally nothing is sent to server

When you open a project file you haven't look at in a week and you've completely forgotten how it works.

"What was I on when this was done?"

Nothing works. Why did I make changes on Friday? WHYYYYY

Took some leave recently to interview for a new job. Back to work to find that I have nothing to do. Asked for more work and got nothing. This place just gives me constant reminders of why I'm looking elsewhere

My career has been described as a shameless hack...

Hi oh!!

I'll be here all week folks.
