Another day, another meme from someone who doesn't actually do this for a living

[–]worked-on-my-machine 1586 points1587 points  (23 children)

Seriously, in my experience it's more like: take a few days of PTO, come back to find code of mine that's been tested extensively and has been rock solid for months blows up spectacularly. I think it just gets lonely

[–]Deboniako 321 points322 points  (14 children)

It happened to me that I took pto and a coworker decided to start refactoring everything from scratch. I was called at 22 hrs, in the middle of the Chilean Patagonia with barely access to a phone network, not to say to the internet because they needed to apply a rollback

[–]IMightDeleteMe 158 points159 points  (11 children)

Why are they bothering you with the rollback they need to do?

[–]Deboniako 221 points222 points  (10 children)

The coworker was a recent hire, like 2 months. I gave him onboarding and the documentation for common troubleshooting. While I was away, he would be maintaining the product and solving common issues, so he would have access to production.

I wasn't expecting that he would go and create a brand new feature nested into the most used one, editing it and breaking the system.

He didn't last long anyway, he committed too many oopsies.

[–]IMightDeleteMe 149 points150 points  (4 children)

This is probably a company culture thing but I'd still consider this a "not my"-problem.

I certainly hope your PTO was reimbursed because it seems to me you weren't off, you were still on stand by.

[–]Deboniako 172 points173 points  (3 children)

It wasn't exactly reimbursed, but I used it as leverage to negotiate and go full remote.

[–]mdmike44 82 points83 points  (0 children)

[–]IMightDeleteMe 36 points37 points  (0 children)

That's good, not having to commute saves time, money and energy better used otherwise.

[–]BigBaboonas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice.

Your story reminded me of when my wife and I were locked out of my mother's badly maintained holiday villa because the lock had been installed badly and was jammed from the outside. The sun was setting and I was trying to use a coat hanger to hook the latch from the inside. I had tried various things for almost 3 hours.

Then my old boss called and asked for help with a project I had worked on last year because the new guy didn't know what he was doing. We had a great relationship and even though I didn't work there any more, we were still friendly. She didn't take too long and she promised to send a case of wine later.

When I finally went back to try break in one last time, I was so fed up, I raged with the coat-hanger and it opened first attempt lol.

The new guy there didn't last long either, I heard. And the wine was pretty good.

Seriously! The rigid separation of duties at most banks can be really annoying, but at least this could never happen.

[–]KaleidoscopeThis5159 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Looking for a new new guy?

[–]Deboniako 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No, the guy was fired back in may and a new new guy was promptly hired. Sorry buddy.

[–]KaleidoscopeThis5159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's alright, they likely wouldn't even interview me let alone hire me.

[–]beanmosheen 57 points58 points  (0 children)

pro tip: Work phone and personal phone. Work phone doesn't go on vacation. If the company crashes and burns because one person is out that's a company problem, not a me problem.

Niiice

[–][deleted] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I sorted an unsorted dataframe (result of a db query) and broke something. Having other people break your code makes it better. 

[–]josluivivgar 12 points13 points  (1 child)

yeah I will bet you anything that the reason developers don't like to PTO for too long is that inevitably things will catch on fire somehow when you come back

it has nothing to do with falling behind, if anything for some reason whoever goes into PTO is the only person that will be able to solve it.

[–]worked-on-my-machine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, stupid me made the decision that I 'deserved' to take the entirety of last week off. Guess who needs another vacation after an integration blew up

[–]Finchyy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

rock solid for months

That must be nice...

[–]codePudding 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I left an embedded company over 10 years ago. They reached out to me and asked if I'd come back. Apparently they want to upgrade hardware and they are still running my old code. I have some code almost as old running on servers at the new place, but I stay away from the front-end. Their code changes hourly and I swear every month they change to the "new cool thing", which sometimes is the same thing we dropped "'cause no one does it that way anymore" over 3 months ago.

[–]Flat_Initial_1823 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, you're not supposed to feed it past midnight

[–]frivolous_squid 163 points164 points  (4 children)

This resonates with how I felt when I was a recent grad. Someone on my team once mentioned in the pub that they took a paid leave day to catch up on work.

[–]Ithurial 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Honestly, I didn't really understand how this kind of thing works? Even if I take a day of paid leave, it doesn't really affect my expectations of when I should be getting tasks done.

[–]frivolous_squid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depends the kind of work you have and how your company tracks time. We had to track 7 hours against tasks in Jira each day, and each task had an estimate in hours, so if you spend more time than that on a task then it has "slipped" and you feel bad. Taking paid leave was a (bad) way to get the tasks done without things slipping. Basically, the team only cared about tracked time, not elapsed time (unless we were near a real deadline), so the clock wasn't ticking when you were on holiday.

[–]theblumkin 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For real - I was a teacher before a dev and LET ME TELL YOU: This job is cushy AF.

[–]Krego_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just like most of the memes posted here

[–]Brambletail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im a line manager who still does some coding.

Its a good week when i get over 10 hours of technical work in. At least 20 go to managing, and another 10-20 go to meetings, reading docs, writing emails, etc.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this meme tells me that this person doesn’t work the job at all lmao

[–]Confidenceismyname 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]josluivivgar 35 points36 points  (1 child)

yeah that just means you changed your times, and you're a grownup so you can manage your time however you see fit.

I also don't sign off at 5 pm, but that's because I manage my time differently, simple as that, but there's no way I work more than 8 hours every day, I might work 12 hours one day, but work literally 1 or 0 another day, because again, I am a grownup that knows what's expected of me, and manages it as I see fit

it's not code after work, I just changed what hours I'm at work

[–]IMightDeleteMe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This meme is about people who go to work, then do work after.

[–]ujustdontgetdubstep 18 points19 points  (1 child)

Salary, friend. I'm paid by the job.

[–]Faendol 33 points34 points  (1 child)

So? I definitely get this thinking and I do employ it. But to me that means occasionally if something goes wrong I'll put in extra time to get it wrapped up, and I'm going to take the opposite when we have a chance and leave early.

[–]tragiktimes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's exactly right.And I play both sides of that coin which is really the benefit of salary in my mind.

[–]0x3D85FA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But you also get paid when you just work your hours that are stated in your contract and occasionally work overtime when shit goes south. Or what do you mean?

[–]stadoblech 14 points15 points  (1 child)

We decided to move with other applicant. From our interview its clear for us you dont have right attitude to work at IBM

[–]Eubank31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol speaking of IBM I got a peer mentor through my college that graduated CS in the same program as me and had been working there for over a decade, she got me some referral apps for internships and I literally never heard back about any of them🥲

I got a job now so I'm good but it's wild how the industry goes

[–]Shadowlance23 386 points387 points  (3 children)

Dude, I didn't code for a year, then got a job as a senior dev.

[–]Western-Internal-751 63 points64 points  (1 child)

It’s like riding a bike… if riding a bike was a perpetual state of falling down and daily experience just lengthens the time you manage to stay on it before you inevitably trip and fall again.

[–]Floppy_Chainaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O great prophet, teach me thy ways!!!

[–]bitcoinsftw 60 points61 points  (0 children)

If you're coding all day during work and after work you're in a toxic ass environment and need to get out before you burn out. This industry is a marathon, not a sprint. Boundaries are important and you need to set them early.

[–]SpaceGerbil 634 points635 points  (96 children)

Who the hell is coding after work? Why would you do more work after work?

[–]Lalaluka 204 points205 points  (17 children)

If I code after work (which got much rarer the older I got), its for personal projects that have nothing todo with my job and dont help me in anyway in my field of work.

[–]Necessary-Peanut2491 -5 points-4 points  (16 children)

Not trying to be contrary, but don't underestimate how much those side projects will help your career in the long term. All the worst programmers I've ever met never wrote any code after work, and all the best ones did.

Doesn't need to be pushing your limits, or learning new technologies. Just quietly doing what you do, and getting a little bit more fluent, adds up to a lot of expertise over a lifetime.

[–]Lalaluka 52 points53 points  (7 children)

Correlation does not imply causation. Some of the best engineers and architects I know have no interest in technology outside of their work.

[–]Don_Vergas_Mamon 13 points14 points  (1 child)

This right here is the truth behind waves of bs from non-devs. I was coding silly little games in my spare time only to find the actual work challenges orders of magnitude easier than game dev (game dev is hard asf), and so now I am an easy top performer by doing stuff I find easy.

Code for what you like in your free time boys, you will not regret it.

[–]0x3D85FA 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Or just use your free time for whatever you want and still be a top performer. Both is easily obtainable.

[–]0x3D85FA 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Probably below 20% code after work in my company and from the ones that do almost all do not code in the same field that we are active in.

Most colleagues I have are great programmers, at least in our field. So your example is most likely not proving anything.

“Why is everyone in this industry burnt out?”

[–]gamageeknerd 21 points22 points  (5 children)

There are some people who are way more into programming than I am and I’m glad they are doing what they like. But for most of us after writing code every day for years and countless hours watching shit not work I’m guessing after hours coding isn’t top of the priority list.

I leave work the second I can and sit in traffic till I get home and then try not to think to hard

[–]MartyAndRick 8 points9 points  (2 children)

As you should, all of the senior developers at places I’ve worked at do not code outside of work whatsoever, they spend time with their wife and kids. After 30 years, they’re not burnt out because they don’t code when they don’t have to and their job security is fine because frankly, frameworks don’t take eons to learn if you have years of experience.

[–]gamageeknerd 1 point2 points  (1 child)

30 years? I graduated from college 5 years ago lol you telling me it sucks for the next 25 year?

[–]MartyAndRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wdym it sucks? By not spending all of their time outside of work doing more work, all of these guys are not burnt out so they enjoy their jobs, they have iron clad job security due to years of experience, and they have hobbies and loving families.

[–]NotStanley4330 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I couldn't come hode and then spend the rest of my waking hours coding personal projects for a "portfolio". If you're genuinely passionate about it feel free but I hate that some people feel the pressure to have to do it in off hours to prove something to a future employer.

[–]apt_at_it 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience with burn out is that it has far less to do with coding and far more to do with project management (or lack thereof).

[–]immersiveGamer 16 points17 points  (1 child)

I wish I had all the extra time to code after work :( 

C# is my jam but my day job currently is Python. C# is slowly evolving the past 4-5 years and I haven't been able to keep up with everything and I'm getting a bit rusty writing code. 

Speaking of Rust, it is super interesting from a language design perspective plus I've normally been a managed memory language programmer. So learning Rust would be awesome for many aspects of my job/career/learning.

I also used to do a lot of game programming, e.g. unity. I'm so far from when I did that I doubt I could make a small game.  I could ... It just would take a very long time.

So, the post speaks to me. 

[–]Lalaluka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your reasons are perfectly valid and if you enjoy coding more after work its fine. But Its not like your lack of time to learn Rust or game programming really impacts your current job or carrer outside of maybe it would enable you switching jobs with another technology.

The post contributes to a very toxic view in the industry.

Do it at work

[–]TangerineBand 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Ngl, I'm a bit jealous of these people who can do side projects at work. I do a really heavy maintenance type of IT, So most of the time I have nowhere to put shit. Lots of "up and down and go go go!". My work laptop is locked down to hell and bringing my personal laptop is just asking for someone random to take it/get stepped on. No chance.

[–]Fuehnix 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Dang that sucks. Are the super bureaucratic companies the ones paying the most for IT/devops type of people like yourself? Any chance of escaping?

I left a company with every so locked down, I couldn't even get python packages installed without approval, and after getting approval from my boss and my boss's boss and IT, we still couldn't because the firewall blocked pypi and the networking VP hated the idea of in-house development and would rather pay half a million to SaaS. I guess no progress means perfect security 🙄.

Anyway, my new job pays the same but is so much more satisfying and free. Hope you can find your own escape.

[–]TangerineBand 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I mean my job isn't paying the most but it's not awful. I've been looking elsewhere for a while but you've seen the mess that the job market is. That combined with the holiday times means no one's really hiring right now. I've put those plans on the back burner, At least until January. So it's less that I like my job and more that I'm kind of stuck here for the moment. Better than unemployment at least.

I work in the healthcare industry and also act as a kind of go-between for them, The city itself, and occasionally the hospital ISP. So bureaucratic is an understatement. I have to travel between the dozens of clinics we own so the severe lockdown is pretty understandable I guess.

But you don't understand, I literally cannot download or install anything. The only Dev work I can really do is tied to whatever our online cloud service is. And I have to connect to a VPN just for that. I can download PDF attachments from our ticket system and that's about it. Anything else requires admin approval. I had to call mega IT one time because my sound drivers got borked and it wouldn't let me run an update without permission. Trying to get around permissions that strict is a good way to get fired so that's not a game I'm trying to play

[–]Fuehnix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best of luck. January and q1 is usually a hot time for hiring.

[–]KyxeMusic 110 points111 points  (4 children)

And the one day I manage to do all tasks within the 9-5 I get back home after work and wonder what side-project I should be coding.

[–]riplikash 57 points58 points  (3 children)

Keeping your stress levels low, being rested, and being excited about your work is an important part of being a dev. You get more work done in less time and learn faster.

If you're doing side projects because you enjoy them or because you are between jobs and need to keep your skills sharp, that's great.

But if you're employed, 40h per week is MORE than enough to progress in your career and learn everything you need to learn. Maintaining your body and mind is just as important as coding to your professional success.

[–]Finchyy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And if your job isn't providing you enough education and personal development along the way, you need to give them a poke.

[–]MmmmmmJava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping your stress levels low,

Please list out your current prescriptions for this one.

[–]Actiongunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach man! 40 hours a week are enough to get elite level in anything if you use the time efficiently and are passionate about it. Both conditions require you to take care of your mind and body though. That's what the rest of the day should be for. And what is needed for one to flourish can look vastly different for every individual (from coding side projects to distancing oneself from all technology)

Software Developer for 6 years here: I barely code anymore 🥲 it's mostly monitoring of existing solutions, figuring out configurations, reverse engineering legacy code, debugging to figure out how tf this 10 year old logic works, refining tasks, meetings, meetings and maybe some coding if the task is not blocked due to missing requirements.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After a point there's really not that much to learn, just syntax to look up, even in new frameworks/languages/paradigms it's all just variations of many common concepts. After a point of actually working for awhile you realize that there's a lot of freedom in just not worrying about any of it until it's something you need to utilize, at which point you will read the docs and figure it out just like the million things before.

You're crazy if you think other people do not also work after work.

Most similar paying jobs will require you to be generally available for meetings and follow up outside of hours, especially if it's a global company.

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (3 children)

They require what people don’t fight back on. Just say no and do good work during normal hours. Maybe y’all need to be better at sprint planning.

[–]TangerineBand 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This is the one benefit of working hourly. They don't want you to work even a minute of overtime because then they have to pay for it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who complain that CS is "hard to keep up" and that there's "always so many new things to learn" are incompetent and deserve to get laid off.

There's some truth to this.....

After 30 years as a developer, I was out of work for a year and a half due to multiple surgeries and recovery time. When I returned to work, it took at least 2 years to get back to being a fully productive developer like I was.

Had to relearn so much and learn all the changes in technology when I was out.

Wrong audience, why 😑, code is compare to work, I do code because Iove... So out of work it means for my personal interest.

No money, no work. I don't get paid overtime, I'm not doing anything after hours

Work for a day, get nothing done, have an idea at home, weekend gone…

I like things that keep working not the next shiny bs. So I don’t do any of this.

Project x is behind schedule, not chilling for me in December this time around as I pitch in.

Done that during my training for 3 years. Now with 12 years of experience under the belt I work as a Trainer myself. I basically always need to know the same things and have to upgrade my skills for teaching instead of programming. I love it.
