I fucking hate being a Dev sometimes.

Not these shitty ones with API documentation riddled with holes 🫠😥5 -
Used to be if I was good enough, now it's if work is going to make me a worse person than I was when I started (passionless and not apathetic)1

Dear managers:
Don't rush developers when they're reviewing code - telling them to cut corners.
You're not a dev (anymore). This shit is important if you want a system that doesn't blow up / takes months to make a simple change.
It's my name going against this approval and I (and the team) have to live with the code every day10 -
Anyone else notice themselves simplifying their English text / conversations (typed or verbal) because they've been doing code for so many years?
I barely even English anymore cuz code is more expressive so I think in it's grammar;2 -
Wow I didn't realise how much money I could be saving by actually putting things in my dishwasher when I run it.
Mind-blowing right?
I used to just run my dishwasher empty every day for the fun, but now I get clean dishes too 🤯?
What a wonderful age we live in.
Thanks corporate water ad 👍21 -

"People don't give me as much shit for having a wank during standups" - not me, but I wish it was9 -
If you suspect that you know me "in real

of the class (🤫);
} else {
enjoy the suspense 🌻💅🔪;

Can't fucking stand permanently lazy devs who don't give a shit about their craft.
Fuck off and go do something else that you actually give a shit about! *

* unless you're burnt out - then I'm sorry they overworked you x5 -
Pubs are fucking brilliant. Walk in. Take a vacant seat. Order food and drinks for a good price. Live music. See all your local friends. Drink enough to barely make it home. Sorted20

Lesson I learnt the hard way today: ticket every fucking task (including admin) to:
A. Cover your arse (if the tickets are not ready because they haven't given us enough information, push back on it before committing too much effort to doing it)
B. Better deliverable (what you output will probably be better quality because you worked out the requirements upfront + you know the audience)
C. You have something to show management when they want to try and overwork you some more4 -
Calling all Devs 🤙:
What's the _best_ worst code you've seen in the wild in your corporate codebases?
Include a snippet of the traumatic lines in your comments!
I'll start with a classic:
$send = $enabled ? true : false;14
