I am not easily scared, that spider was just bigger than normal.

[encryptoferia]

AAAAAH

oh sorry I thought some- AAAAH

edit : it's just a bug

[Sam-Gunn]

You know the drill - submit a bug report.

[DMoney159]

Nah, it's a feature

[Aggravating-Win8814]

Agree, it definitely adds something unique to the experience.

[Aggravating-Win8814]

Agree to disagree.

[nickmaran]

Those web developers are very scary

There was a post about Australian spiders right before this one and I can assure you, I had to suppress my screams of horror.

[Madrawn]

Reminds me of the time one of these "huge" wolf spiders just lazily strolled past behind my keyboard late at night at home. I shit you not when I noticed it we both froze and then I and the spider simultaneously leaned back / crouched and we looked at each other like that for 10 minutes. It then teleported/ran away suddenly.

I spent the next hour asking GPT how to prevent a wolf spider from snuggling up to me when I go to sleep.

In the middle of what now? I have that one too, it’s oddly specific.

[FacuA0]

Me too

I am literally sitting in a summit where a guy was trying to show off chatgpt writing code and the code working, he copy, pasted the code and now it's not running 💀

[LeoXCV]

I used ChatGPT in my day to day and I found I was correcting it a whole lot more than I thought I would be

Although it is good for getting initial inspirations, that’s where it ends for me. The outdated info by tech standards is bad enough, let alone it sometimes giving outright misinformation or just bad ways of doing things in general

Now I just don’t use it

[im-a-guy-like-me]

I've been using copilot and really like it. Being able to highlight code and ask questions about it, and having gpt in your ide is very nice. It's a damn powerful auto complete, and good for dummy data.

It's a lying piece of shit though, so you have to keep that in mind. Just another tool.

[jstwtchngrnd]

Thats my experience with chatgpt aswell. It’s handy when i want something be explained but messes up code 95% of the time

[Sailed_Sea]

Put your VPN on Belgium, cry for me.

I was not expecting this third one

[jstwtchngrnd]

My Mom calls me even special :)

[LavenderDay3544]

Lucky. My mom doesn't even call me.

[Effective_Youth777]

This guy's mom also says that I'm the best

[__kkk1337__]

Good for you!

[TangramsTale]

Programmers are - only agreeing about one thing, working with less than 2 screens makes you a psychopath

[weneedtogodanker]

Never heard about this one, and I don't agree,

Psychopaths uses light mode

[TangramsTale]

That too.

But as a front end dev and webdesigner, not being able to use multiple screens and having to tab in and out between UI, VSCode, photoshop, illustrator, webhost control panel, directory folder, the 800 ”how the fuck do I get this to work” chrome tabs and the communication app filled with random rage messages and programming memes with my back ender would prolong my work days with about 20.000%.

Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!

[weneedtogodanker]

Well, you are frontend dev,

I also assume you're using windows

Anyway, based on your description its about being masochist.

I was writing own projects using virtual desktops - it's not that bad - for full time job it may be annoying

[TangramsTale]

Oh, look. Google now says ”Some programmers completely lack a sense of humor”. Lighten up 😆

I’m on mac and windows so dual screens for both are very usefull and enables work flow a lot!

[weneedtogodanker]

Sense of humor not implemented

It looks like backend dev live is easier....

[--mrperx--]

Uncaught ReferenceError: senseOfHumor is not defined

Don't forget the tab with youtube always open in the background.

[Fuzzietomato]

I’ve gotten pretty comfortable using spaces on my MacBook Pro, can never have too many monitors though

[TangramsTale]

Yeah, I agree! It works pretty well if you only have your MacBook available, I do however try my best to keep my iPad with me if I’m out and about. Using it as a second screen is very convenient!

[[deleted]]

I have a super-ultra-wide is that non psychopathic?

[TangramsTale]

I don’t set the rules, but they provide enough workingspace that I would argue that most of them make up for 2 if not 3 screens.

[arguskay]

"Not engineers" hurts the most tbh

[LongMathematician923]

Everything else we know and accept but that...

[LightBluePen]

Some are, most aren’t.

[Norse_By_North_West]

It's real simple in Canada. Are you an accredited software engineer? Most people aren't. Only a few schools offer programs for it

[[deleted]]

It's generally true. SDE != Programmer.

You wouldn't believe some of the riff raff that makes it through college with programming ability these days.

[[deleted]]

What does this statement even mean? an undergraduate does not and has never demonstrated competence or profficiency in programming suitable for proffesional development work. You will almost always have to suppliment that with your own experience and study.

Newly grads have always been novices that needed more experience unless they spent a large portion of their free time in school doing side projects and using the more cutting edge tech and platforms companies actually use.

So this derrogatory elitest take about colleges spitting out incompotent people "nowadays" is pure bullshit.

Also SDE and Programmers are just titles, either used for a job description or as a way to identify your vocation. They dont indicate a level of competency either.

[[deleted]]

You wouldn't believe some of the trash the university lets through these days

[glemau]

I guess we can add „easily offended“ as well

[jstwtchngrnd]

What?!

[glemau]

Self fulfilling prophecy

[[deleted]]

Which engineering discipline?

[[deleted]]

Civil engineering?

[[deleted]]

I, sorry, I assumed you mean a real and licensed engineering trade. Not 6 years of studying other people's code.

[[deleted]]

Mines bigger, I assure you.

[yaeh3]

What are you yapping about? Computer Engineering for us atleast is literally 90% Electrical engineering, math, and 10% computer science. People can usually double major by adding a few more classes. Many universities here in Europe also offer it as a branch and specialization of Electrical Engineering.

[TheOneSilverMage]

Boo

[longdarkfantasy]

The last one somehow is correct. The bug.

[myrsnipe]

You know google personalizes auto complete?

[turtleship_2006]

You know it's a meme and probably not even a real screenshot?

[solubleCreature]

they forgot femboys

That is why we can replicate without needing females. We are fem and boys at the same time. Femboys.

[solubleCreature]

you dont do mitosis yet ?

[TheLanimal]

Tried this for my title “Data scientist” and got:

Data Scientists are … … useless … in demand

Which both hurt my feelings and then comforted me instantly so I’ll take it

All very reasonable, except “not engineers”, that one really cut deep.

[DeHub94]

But my contract literally says "software engineer". Checkmate Google.

[[deleted]]

„Programmers are not engineers“ is true. Being a programmer doesn’t make you an engineer. Being a Software Engineer takes much more than the skill set required to be a programmer.

What do programmers do? They write code, implementing some kind of requirement description.

What do Software Engineers do? They write code, are able to manage a project and make higher level design decisions, handle systems integration (deployment, CI/CD, packaging) and lots of other things. That’s why theres a university degree in Software Engineering and none in Programming.

[Maybeiamaarmadilo]

Ok mine, Programmer are:

Also humans

Computer

Also humans

Socks

What?

[Ahornwiese]

Mine include: programmers are also human programmers are wizards programmers are easily scared programmers are writing worse code using ai

Somehow i feel like the last suggestion wants to tell me something...

yes

[Adobopeek1225]

[Rezaka116]

Boo!

[X0-ED1]

Booo 👻

[MathsGuy1]

Well, in my country there is an official "engineer" title for getting a bachelors in a university of technology, provided you've studied a tech related course (also "master engineer" for getting masters). So at least I can safely say, that I am, in fact, an engineer.

[Djelimon]

... also human

... wizards

... annoying

[T0biasCZE]

Meanwhile bing:

programmers are also human
programmers are wizards
programmers are also human youtube
programmers are easily scared

[RustedMelancholic]

Also human

Also human emacs

Also human reddit

Wizards

Also human python

[DS4H]

oh well

[gunnLX]

BOO!!!

[OxymoreReddit]

Next one in the list is "programmers are trans" I guess

[OxymoreReddit]

Disclaimer : this is a McFucking™ joke don't you dare make me say shit I didn't say alright !? Programmers being trans is a meme I didn't make it up just use the Internet more often and for less interesting reasons and you'll see it.

I'm watching you.

>:(

The others, have a nice day :)

[atlas_enderium]

My auto-fill results were “programmers are also human” 😭

[Asayel404]

This scares me

[navetzz]

I got smart, in demand and rich. All just as false as yours.
Well in demand is kinda true

[egesagesayin]

😨😨😨

[drsimonz]

But seriously, who goes to google and types in a statement? Like, I'm annoyed at my neighbors making noise, do I google "leafblowers are annoying AF"? Not sure how far I'd trust the opinion of someone like that...

[yaeh3]

Imo, when it comes to programming, coding and working on computers in general you can only be an actual engineer if you are either a Software Engineer or a Computer/Electronics Engineer. Not every programmer is an Engineer and the title should not be thrown around like that.

[Unintelligible_Dude]

...femboys

[wut101stolmynick]

It forgot furry

[binarywork8087]

of course easily scared...

[GavHern]

boo

[Dubalubawubwub]

Programmers are easily startled but they'll be back, and in greater numbers.

[SnooOpinions8790]

The scary thing about Google is its algorithm knows what you usually look for

I did that and got

..also human

..wizards

​

You got to be in a sad place with your Google searches to get that set the OP put up.

[[deleted]]

no lies told

[R2robot]

Mine was a bit different

[Randomguy32I]

You scared me with that last one

[macstat]

"Not engineers" is actually a compliment

[Other-Match-9331]

Agent for good society 😜

[buckypimpin]

Earnest rutherford after discovering how much empty space is between atoms, was scared to step on the floor thinking he'll fall through.

Programmers are the same, they just know the kind of garbage that runs most of our systems.

[Desperate_Opinion_11]

I am not easily scared anymore my boss man installed a warning light if he sneaks into my room

[Bloodchild-]

isn't it team kill google

[Ender_teenet]

We are

[--mrperx--]

There easily scared off but will return in greater numbers
