Once went for an interview for a senior web developer role. The first interview was a coding test ( not a problem, been coding for years and know I can do it). The company boasted that it supported pair programming.

I was sat at in an open plan office In front of a machine and given a question sheet of 10 code questions/puzzles and asked to solve them. Then out of nowhere 5 other senior devs appeared and stood behind me and proceeded to comment /question every single line I typed (so no pressure then).

I did questions 1-5 (fairly easy tbh) but all the devs behind me critiquing every single line started to drive me crazy so I asked if it was normal for them to interview this way and was told 'yes' and that after a year of trying to find someone they had been unsuccessful.

I told them that I wanted to leave the interview at that point; I don't mind my code being critiqued just prefer it when I've at least finished the line. Forcing you into a pair programming scenario in the interview really didn't feel right.

To this day (2years later) I still see ads for that very same job

-Why don't you get married?
-We are testing each other for bugs .

Pretty much

Stumbled upon this old gold on reddit. If I tell you that my monitor is now not covered in accidentally spat out espresso, I'd be lying. 😂😂😂

That awkward moment when during the breakfast your dad asks for a fork and you can't find him on github... 😁

A formatted EU and a nerd troll

I relate to this too well

I thought I would have all day to code after my family went on vacations for 2 months. Tbh, I miss them :( Coding and my cat are the only companions at home.

Just got this amazing gift for my newborn from the guys at work!

Once my fuckin annoying colleague replaced all console.log to alert in our hybrid app..

And back then my testing logs used to be idiotically profane :|

Needless to say, I faced the fuckin wrath of clients :/

My app does not need tests!

I guess every faced this at the start.
