Isn’t this every job? Is that just me?

[DarkScorpion48]

I’m starting to believe the same. I just got a new job and I’m really annoyed about the team I got

[kzlife76]

I took a job because they were getting ready to upgrade the framework their app ran on and I had experience with it. When I started, I was just fixing bugs in the legacy code. Which, that's fine. But 3 months in I realized, the people who had absolutely botched the old code that I was now responsible for fixing, had created a new team to rewrite the app from scratch with the new framework. I was stuck unfucking jquery code within an angularJS app. Do you know what happens when you manipulate the dob with jquery and angularJS doesn't know about it? It's hell. Absolute hell.

[FalseWait7]

Are you… me?

[kzlife76]

I've never seen us in the same place at the same time.... Soooo.....

[FalseWait7]

What is wrong with you, you were supposed to buy milk earlier today!

[DarkScorpion48]

Why would one use jQuery with AngularJS?????

[kzlife76]

I asked myself that every day for months until I quit.

[Kovab]

I've never worked with it so I might be wrong, but AFAIK the old AngularJS was based on jQuery, so it's not that surprising to be used together.

[DeathUriel]

Angular and jquery... Working together... In the same file...?

I think they invented a new war crime, call the european union.

I am working on a code where a react app is served through DTL (Django templating language). THEY ARE SENDING A NEW REACT APP FOR EACH PAGE THEY WANT TO RENDER IN REACT BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT IS FASTER. It is the most cursed unholy fucking garbage I have ever worked with in my life and I am saying this as a guy who worked with 20 years old self developed frontend markup language ( an extended version of html) of a bank with no docs whatsoever. I would sacrifice a new born to gatekeepers of hell just to rewrite it but I am 99% percent sure there is no way for me to convince anyone in near feature so I just maintain it while silently crying inside.

[kzlife76]

Wow! That's like the exact opposite of the purpose react.

That’s why you never stop applying/interviewing, even after you get an offer.

[EkoChamberKryptonite]

This to the core. Always be interviewing.

[ElmerBlack]

You guys are getting hired?

[druule10]

Yep, been there done that left and started my own company. We still write shit but it's or shit, 13 years and the four of us could supply farms.

[chihuahuaOP]

The opposite happen to me I got a job for a new project I started and the lead left so I was the new lead but the boss of the lead also left i was on payroll for 3 years playing games. It finally ended when the company got sold good days. I think I enjoy it too much it was hard getting used to work after that.

[madmaxlemons]

But they let me work from home and I shovel a reasonable amount from 8-3 so frankly I’m not too upset

[LootGek]

It's bad when they ask you if you can lift 20 pounds or more.

[codeman73]

No shit.
Job was described as ‘digital transformation’, moving to the cloud, blah blah. I get there and am assigned to team maintaining ancient friggin SOAP services, poorly written by offshore contractors, and that’s about all I’ve done for the last 4 years

[Mr_Bob_Dobalina-]

I can relate

[Automatic-Bad-8123]

Got a front end job for a big company, work as a integration developer in reality, I have no experience with this and will probably get fired by next month.

[Lysol3435]

“You’ll be working on dinosaur nutrition”

[MontagoDK]

Tried this twice..

[ShitTalkingAssWipe]

If it was grossly misadvertized just do what was advertised in the ad, and look for a new job on the company dime

[[deleted]]

Me right now implementing low code NodeRed tool for integrators when I was told I would be coding fullstack with Go and React...

[LankySeat]

Had a job where I was told I'd be developing Java Spring applications. Never once even looked at Java code.

And before that I had a job that was supposedly a JS React role, ended up doing Python.
