Recently, our team hired an arrogant trainee-junior to the team, who turned out to be mean towards the other developers and in a habit of publicly mocking their opinions and going as far as cursing at them. He steals credit and insults others. He openly admits he's an offensive person and not a team player. When someone from the team speaks, he might break into laughter and say demeaning sentences like "that's so irrelevant oh my god did you really say that? hahaha". Our team consists of polite and introverted engineers who cannot stand up to bullies. Normally this kind of behavior won't be suitable even if you work in a burger shop especially not from a trainee. Let alone trainee, the rude behavior of Linus Torvalds was not tolerated, despite him being in the top position and a recognized star talent in the IT field.

I personally no longer feel comfortable speaking up during teams meetings or in the slack team chat. I'm afraid my opinions will be ridiculed or ashamed - likely will be called "irrelevant". I respond only if I'm directly addressed. We have important features coming up, requested by the customer, but I feel discouraged to publicly ask questions - I sort of feel having to regress into contributing less for the product. I also witness that other younger developers speak less now in meetings and team chat. Feels like everyone is hiding under the bed. Our product team used to have friendly working atmosphere but now the atmosphere is a bit like we're not a team anymore but a knot.

Lesson I learnt from here is: There is a reason why some companies have personality tests and HR interviews. Our proud short boarding process was consisting of a single technical interview. Perhaps at least a team interview should be held before hiring a person to the team, or the new hire should at least be posed a question: are you a team player? Technical skills can be taught more easily than social skills. If some youngster is unable to communicate in a civilized manner for even five minutes, it should raise some red flags. Otherwise you will end up with people who got refused from other companies which knew better.

Work life balance. Ever heard of it?

I once added a semicolon at the end of a line when coding in Python.

I’ve brought shame on my family.

Code I wrote 2 weeks ago now looks like chinese to me.

Fun fact!

Vs code actually works with 550k lines of html dom.

Makes sense

Apart from linux, it has to be vue.js, quasar and express.js

Vue.js had made my development extremely easy, faster and managable
Quasar brought great Styling and various other powerful features to vuejs. Thus helping save even more time

And express.js don't need any explanation. Better code organization and easy to get started.

Since most of the pics here are either joke/memes or battlestations or laptop on a nice desk..... I give you my humble coding corner on my bed from a 3rd world country. Still student so....gotta improvise. No, desk is too far away for power socket.

I'm really grateful to PUBG cooperation for releasing the mobile version of the game. After a frustrating day of work, sitting down after a hot bath and pumping some lead into some sorry mothelovers really makes my day.

Home office and rig. Nothing fancy but looks good and gets the job done 😁

It looks like we have been working on something that qualifies almost all of this (except the management wants it, so there's little funding) 😂

Haha, pretty shitty to work on something like this for the last 4-5 months.

If you're going to bother to detect that my input is without hyphens, then you can certainly insert them for me too.

Maybe backing up WhatsApp messages is not such a great idea after all.

Oh my god.

This is simultaneously the best and worst welcome dev screen I have ever seen. I totally want to get an Angular/React/Java tatoo on my neck, grow out my beard a bit, start drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and drive a Volvo 240.

...And my coworkers can never see this splash screen or I'll never hear the end of it. 😥

Though I'm not a designer, I've designed some wallpapers based on design principles.
