I love reading these kinds of stories when I'm not involved with them.

good luck on your future endeavors. I've been fired from shitty jobs before. Mixed feelings, but it can be very liberating and the dawn of better opportunities.

I read Ruby/rails is on the way out, and that trend is over.

Probably a recruiting company. They put stuff like this out as a wide net to catch everyone.

I would think they need to pay before you push the code to the production server.

7. Wants it to rank number on Google for every keyword, within same time frame.

I use an app called peace.exe

These are my favorite kinds of stories.

@simpleJack it adds up

Throw some ads on there and monotize it.

Ouch

And then someone makes you write tests (that require more code than the actual method) because TDD.

@jream also, I think I've watched your YouTube channel.

@jream right. There's not one leader. It's multiple owners . Damn startups, damn internet marketers

This is one of the reasons I can't get behind TDD. I always need to see how my code handles in the wild and fix accordingly.

Sometimes, I play video games about managing Software and Game Developers. From my wife's point of view, I'm sure this looks extremely boring... and a little sad.

I just have an extremely dumb boss that I try to explain things to. Usually when talking to him, I come up with new solutions to try.

Overtime doesn't exist when salary. Most dev jobs are salary.

Also, I was working on a project as a sole dev, and we were going to get a front end dev so I could focus on backend. After 3 meetings with this person (an 1.5 hours each over the span of 3 weeks) and they still hadn't started the project, I was like, shit... I could have just done it myself.

Probably longer. Code Reviews, meetings, clashing coding styles.... I love the analogy of 'if 1 women can have a baby in 9 months, 9 women can have a baby in 1 month'

I bet he's a whizz at Excel!

and other non-web technologies

Online dating. Married.

@luckyNmber my wife explained it to me.

My bosses have almost thrown down on each other before. So when I threw a chair once, no one thought it out of the ordinary.

I've heard DAS keyboard too.

@tinybyte I saw a dude using one on youtube. Seemed like a bit of a learning curve, lots of new keyboard shortcuts.

@jiraTicket definitely agree. Same with status in a company. Sales guys, marketing guys get paid more than devs in some places.

@jckimble yeah. I use monitis. The one frantic call was from a previous client who's developer was hacking him after he quit. Haha. (his words). I still had access to his servers so was able to get in and lock out the other dev.

The other times were from when I was a freelancer for the company I now work for. Since then, I was able to set up load balancers and dns failover for our main traffic servers.

My mom and I both started using a computer at the same time. Nearly 20 years later, she still has problems with the majority of basic computer functions.

This sucks. Hopefully it all backfires and you can somehow say "see, I told you"

I've gotten frantic calls at 1am on weekends about servers being down. Usually too drunk to care at that time and get to it in the AM.
