I’m about to quit this job, this customer don’t care about the people, they just want quick results and people available 24/7, this is taking my mental health, I think I’ll become a farmer instead.

Customer: The quality of the software you’re delivering is going down
Me: That’s because we’re developers, support, and spend all day on meetings without mentioning that deadlines are defined by you, not the technical team
Project Manager: I have added more members to the team so you can deliver faster
Me: That’s just slowing us down because this inherited code is shit, there’s no documentation and we’re always in a rush, without time for a proper ramp up
Customer: *throws money to our faces* I’ll remove two weeks to this delivery so we can test it better
Me: …

Why u here?

So you’re burned out, what about you start working on weekends?

The videoconference started and I had no shirt on, fortunately there was only one guy and he laughed but understood haha

I’ve gave my two week notice a week ago, and my boss it’s just avoiding to announce it to the team, people in other areas, and of course to the teammates that will take my responsibilities. What’s wrong with him? He asked me not to tell people so they can “elaborate a plan to make my exit softer for the team” and that’s great but dude, I have one week left and people is still asking me for things that I’ll not handle in a week, I feel sad about the guy that will take that shot.

I’m having so much fun playing with DALL E 2

Now I have to make updates in three different tools about the projects I’m working on, this is stupid since we work for a tech company and we shouldn’t be using fucking Power Point to update statuses on projects. Management should be making other’s life easier not harder. 🥸

Dude, this two guys working on my team are really jerks. They don’t want to “waste time” helping the junior devs understanding the stuff that we sell. Sadly they’re the only people on the team that didn’t come from the outside.

So the next O’rly book I can imagine for this project is:

How did I ended in this microservices nightmare?

I don’t know if I hate HR more than annoying customers, hard to tell…

I’d like to have a DevRant dataset so I can make some great visualizations, text analysis, etc. of the things we hate the most. This is top priority, thanks in advance.

Bruteforce lol

Stop attending to meetings.

When they steal your idea, oh wait

Got this build project of a big customer for the company I work for. Zero documentation and the guy manages this is on vacation and this customer is pushing and I'm on leave too until Monday, so everything is fine on x-mas eve 🎄

while(!Me.knowsTrendyLanguage){
keep.learning()
}

I worked 2012-2016 for a big telco company in my country and there was this HTTPS webpage with an iframe rendering any url you passed over the ?url query param plus a header with the company's logo.

I was on a meeting with some friends in charge of social media and they found it for a user report.

Unbelievable 🤷🏻‍♂️ I remember I tried the page's url itself and it rendered a loop of the header with the company's logo 😂

Anti-patterns as a Service

80% of the costs for this POC comes from NAT gateways, so keep your VPCs internet access free until you really need it 😅

Email: "Thanks for applying to this position, after you complete this technical test, please let us know via email."

Me: Dude! I didn't even apply for that position, stop spamming 😒

There's messy code and this shit.

Is there actually any frontend framework or boilerplate to just code and avoid messing around with old libraries, missing dependencies, no documentation? I'm seriously moving to plain ES6, it feels more flexible :/

Serverless is pure love and make mini monoliths in containers buzzing RPC calls

Dude: Come on man, Google and/or Facebook are not actively listening to us, I mean, we're not terrorists.
Me: Ok, Google
Google Asistant: How can I help you?
Dude: ._.

I'm so excited about containerization and also ML. I think those are my biggest nerdgasm stories at the time. So please share some useful resource to learn, I will do it as well :)

I'm starting to love Go. I think it will be a good love story.

The new dev wants to be my best friend. I already have one.

One does not simply git add --all

So there's a new team member in the project (me & him), he's assigned to make the frontend, which is great since I'm so proficient doing back. But he starts by doing backend tasks and the fucking frontend which is the most delayed part of the project is still untouched.
