I was in a situation just like that half a year ago. “FUCK THIS” I told myself and just rewrote the entire codebase. I was able to do this in like three weeks because I was and still am the only dev on this codebase. Since nobody is code reviewing me and nobody actually tests my completed Jira issues I could easily do this under the radar of my team. I just created Jira tickets for “Maintenance tasks” and convinced the product owner to prioritize it into the sprints. Features I worked on I just told my team took longer time than estimated. And of course estimations can easily be too low so that was understandable by everyone. Now that I’ve rewritten the shitty codebase into this perfectly clean codebase instead I am finally really enjoying working on it.

'check' is always false 😂😂😂

@UnknownDev Yep 😊 Nicely spotted!

@DankestDev You appeal to authority. That's a common logical fallacy. You should rewrite your unreadable code.

Also, one does not need to know why some code works as long as its purpose is clear. Because you have commented and documented your code, right? Its purpose should be clear then.

Devs should never set anything to Done, only QA should. If there's bugs you rewrite the code and let the QA team handle if it's Done or not.

SQL vs 'sequel'

I program javascript every day btw

js is fucking retarded.

@NeatNerdPrime haha! Good on you!

Your rights must be horrible when you can get fired that easily. What country is it?

Told my boss. He sent out an email to the entire company stating that sneaking up on coworkers is not allowed, and they should wave their hand so that you can see it in your peripheral vision.

@genex I did. Even told him it's creepy as fuck.

@Buzzuma I will! 😬 @brahn That's a great advice! I have a spare monitor and a web cam that I can use.

Yes. He's beeing condescending, but disguises it as a fact.

You should not work with people who gives you nothing of value. To improve yourself you should learn from your peers. It's time to move on when you're the smartest in the room.

It means you should stop working with your PM and look for another job.

@tisaconundrum I'm me. Who are you?

This actually happened to me once 😔 I was the dev.

@tisaconundrum here:🎖️Have a medal.

It's all about surviving and getting that diploma. Leech on your peers and free-ride to get it. I'm sure I did. You'll never learn anything useful at a university that you can not learn by yourself.

Working from home 🤔😮😲🙂

Hahaha 😂This happens waaaaay to often. Our testers are shockingly lazy and ignorant. Once I had to explain the difference between alpha and beta testing 😑 But writing shitty bug reports they do perfectly ☺️🔫

One charge? I think not.

A burning house is not relevant to computer science. I would spit in the interviewers face and go to another interview.

Wolololo! Wololcom to DevRant

@JBSnorro you can 'favourite' the rant. Under your profile you find all your favourites.
