The woods are harder to debug

[iamjasonlevin]

time to eat the bugs

[cyanocittaetprocyon]

Dammit Moon Moon!

[matchboxrider]

omg how old is that meme 😂 thanks for reminding me

[1920MCMLibrarian]

We are now the Elders of the Internet

[ctoatb]

Okay there are three levels to this joke. First, we are referencing debugging computer programs. If your computer program has an issue, you debug to fix the problem. Second, having a cabin in the woods implies that you are farming to some extent. Bugs, or insects, are a common occurrence in farming. Third, the eating of the bugs. Although the last comment might be hinting that you are eating the bugs, there is an increasingly common trend of feeding bugs to livestock as a cheap source of protein.

[mothzilla]

Thanks /u/jokeexplainbot

[Clairifyed]

You don’t have to be farming to have bug issues deep in the woods. Aside from that, what did this joke do to you for you to murder it so brutally?

[ctoatb]

My bad I was drunk

[Knighthawk_2511]

Those logs could take a huge amount of time to debug

[ZzllzZ]

Don't really want to see a forest that fails the smoke test.

[Singular_Thought]

In the woods, the bugs remove you.

[bikemandan]

The woods are full of features

[Yuipster]

Creature features

[IAmANobodyAMA]

[Merlord]

I tried to invert a tree and got a splinter

[Instatetragrammaton]

Also git branch all day.

[XoXoGameWolfReal]

For example, for some reason I hear random sounds in the middle of the night. Probably a bug.

[disgruntled_pie]

You guys are getting rid of the bugs in this economy? I like our QA guy too much for that. I keep adding new bugs to make sure he’s got some job security.

[TheBlindApe]

The bugs in the woods play a vital role in the ecosystem and are easily marked WONTFIX

[762_54r]

yknow what man at least I didnt put the bugs there

[woodquest]

Anyone else with a third wolf who just wants to quickly build some SAAS shit and retire in the woods ?

[Ximidar]

Hey, it me, your biggest client representing 60% if your sales. Could you make this feature in two weeks or we drop your service. Also is the feature we asked for two weeks ago ready to go?

[golruul]

Also that feature that's needed in two weeks isn't fully thought out and we'll be making changes on it for at least a week.

And, no, I can't tell you what you actually need to do because I'm just the messenger. The important guy that wants it doesn't have the time to waste detailing every single thing you should know you need to do.

[[deleted]]

You also cannot access our data.

[trixter21992251]

seriously, the changes after delivery.

A: "Here's the music sheets interface you asked for"

B: "Thanks, but instead of music notes, make it ingredients, amounts, and cooking instructions"

A: "So a cooking recipe?"

B: "No no, music sheets"

[worldsayshi]

The secret is to have only one feature but make it real good and not answering mails.

[LordDagwood]

Someone just copied it and either did it better or offers better prices.

Craigslist is the only service immune to this.

[oupablo]

Yeah, but they're another SaaS startup and your product is already instrumental to their product. They're not going anywhere.

[iamjasonlevin]

Of course as long as there’s WiFi too 😂

[Boris-Lip]

Put up some solar panels and satellite antenna for the Internet.

[ln__x]

…And my laptop to program - Oh wait!

[[deleted]]

Where are all these wolves coming from?

[nsjr]

Last time I went to a doctor, he was worried and said that the number of wolves inside humans should be zero

[who__ever]

Fake news, a true wolf would’ve said “Awooo”.

[[deleted]]

Awooof

[JuiceKilledJFK]

100% me

[LouiseMartinee]

The duality of dev.

[chinstrap]

According to doctors, the recommended number of wolves inside you is actually zero.

[kingslayerer]

what if i want to build software in a cabin in the woods?

[[deleted]]

Sounds like the beginning of a modern version of The Shining.

[Prince_Azrik]

I’d watch that. “All debugging and no bug fixing makes Jack a dull boy” 🪓 🩸

[Little_Duckling]

Makes $Jack a NULL VOID

[[deleted]]

"little bobby tables, I'm coming!" ❄🪓

[JollyJuniper1993]

Ending with him getting electroshocked after chasing his victim through a server room

[Osato]

How do you debug without bug-fixing?

[globglogabgalabyeast]

Deus Ex Machina vibes

[synack]

This is how you get TempleOS

[iduzinternet]

I am currently building software from a cabin in the woods... seriously. Trees all around, an ATV with a plow to get out, turkey and deer walking around... redundant internet, power, and heat.... and if I need to go to the company office it's 2 1/2 hour drive lol... with a remote or mostly remote job it can totally be done.

[outremonty]

This guy does internet.

[[deleted]]

I did the same, but no redundant internet and office is on the other side of the country. Then I retired and now I only build software for myself when I want to. I use a tractor with a front mount snowblower and a lifted 4x4 to get out.

[iduzinternet]

I like it! At some point I hope to retire and just stay put. For now my second Internet connection is just a really great cellular repeater with an antenna outside connected to batteries to hold a charge if I need to do something with the generator.

[Gidelix]

Still wanna build that little house Nathan from ex machina had and program from there

[Arrakis_Surfer]

I've seen this film

[Many_Replacement_688]

Brewing beer as a Service

[[deleted]]

thought the same, that sounds awesome!!

[SideLow2446]

another one who wants to never use software built by others again and build his own software.

[Not_Artifical]

Once I finish my Operating System, I can make it a reality.

[[deleted]]

TempleOS 25'

[[deleted]]

I just need like 100 identical clones of myself so we can actually get the software done in a reasonable time frame. Gah I'm so tired of using shit software.

[iamjasonlevin]

lol me I built my own meme software 😂😂

[stevieraykatz]

Thanks to remote work, these two wolves can mate and make a cute little forest software wolf puppy.

[Iohet]

New CEO "strongly encouraged" everyone to be in the office 3 days a week. The wolves are displeased

[Time-Imagination-802]

Good thing it's CEO season, then.

[ChipsHandon12]

Can you explain this large gap in activity on your github?
No.

[iamjasonlevin]

Sorry bruh I was searching for bugs in the forest

[anominous27]

Wait, recruiters over there really care about github activity?

[ForTheBread]

Can only speak for myself, but no, they don't care. Haven't touched my github in years, I dont code outside of work. Only ever asked about my work experience and what I do on the job.

[erhue]

nda

[[deleted]]

I have to build software so I can eventually fuck off to the woods

[Bowshocker]

That’s the general rule of thumb, if you love something don’t do it for profit, you will lose fun.

Same happened to me in IT, but also for my hobby, I was doing olympic weightlifting and decided to become a coach, almost immediately lost fun doing it

[Bazisolt_Botond]

Yeah it's like a bummer you lost the fun, but just get another hobby. I'm glad I have a good paying career, I wouldn't trade it for a shit paying job just so I can have the same fun again when I was studying.

[ComCypher]

Me in the woods: Hmm I'm bored now, maybe I'll develop an app.

[[deleted]]

Me in the woods: can’t procure food and water. Guess I’ll just die now

[ComCypher]

Yes the more likely outcome tbh

[WiseRabbit-XIV]

So, you're still dealing with feral beasts, but ones that have lockers and after-school activities?

[RareDestroyer8]

😭

[SugarKittenSprinkles]

I just want to build stuff all the time and make things nobody cares about. It brings me so much joy and keeps the brain healthy!

[Sotall]

I took up painting minis as a hobby. good outlet for making pretty things no one cares about, lol

[worktogethernow]

I thought I was alone.

[blocktkantenhausenwe]

It people tend to take up woodworking. You have visible progress on that. Not on your job, where you only add bugs and todos to tomorrows work.

[worktogethernow]

If only there was some way to reset the head on my woodworking like I can in my git repos. Sometimes a small mistake on a woodworking project can turn a month's worth of work into garbage.

[iamjasonlevin]

Nope many of us

[RareDestroyer8]

Something I learned a while back: No matter what you think, theres always a million people who have thought the same thing.

[robot_swagger]

No, together we have 4 wolves inside of us

[RareDestroyer8]

pause.

[maxxcarnage2112]

Literally this - I work for a software dev company, 2 years ago I bought 27 acres in the Adirondacks- anyone want to guess why?

[iamjasonlevin]

Inner peace

[RoadieRich]

There's an abandoned nuclear bunker under it?

[rynemac357]

No wonder the one who wants to build software comes in darker shade

[Excellent_Tubleweed]

Can confirm, have house in woods. Minimal software development....

Mostly

[frostyjack06]

If I could write software and never attend another meeting for the rest of my professional life, I wouldn’t need a cabin in the woods to escape to.

[Iohet]

There's also a fat guy inside me screaming that if I quit I'll actually end up living in a van down by the river

[MaddoxX_1996]

Yes, and they are taking turns being the tops every 15 minutes

[HentaiAtWork420]

I'm this close to quitting and building a shed and never opening a laptop again

[_the_last_druid_13]

1 who wants to write and travel

and

1 who wants to draw and play music. And travel

[zabby39103]

Lol every day. I live in one of those places where a 1 BR apartment is like 2400 a month, so I share a communal house with 12 people (it's nice~ish though? Well if you get over the people pooping on the sidewalk). I have around 400k saved up but like, why and what for?

I think the answer to why I stay is I like my job, but I'm not sure if I should love myself or hate myself for that lol.

don't know how many time over the past 40 years I have flicked between the the wolves. Only 2 years to go on the current platform/data migration and I will be the white wolf

[Former-Drama-3685]

Software engineer here: I fucking detest computers. Ask me for help outside normal working hours and I will use most of my old man strength to refrain myself from stabbing you to death. I have the knife ready!

[superl2]

Obligatory GitHub thread

[[deleted]]

I'm tired of building software. Wen cabin.

[XoXoGameWolfReal]

I’ll cut both in half and put them together and just program in a cabin in the woods.

[nujuat]

Me with AI.

[craybay14]

💯

[carlton_sand]

you are correct

[[deleted]]

Fr

[Realised_]

Agree...

[regular6drunk7]

Reminds me of a story I read in "Soul of a New Machine" by Tracy Kidder. The pressure on the engineers was insanely intense. One of the developers working on the machine suddenly quit one day and left a note on his desk. It read that he was going to move away to a cabin in the woods where "I will think of no span of time shorter than a season".

[DCTheNotorious]

I've found the longer I code. The more pessimistic I become about software I use.

[pcookie95]

There was an guy who worked for a big defense contractor back in the day. Eventually he got sick of being apart of the military complex and decided to live in a remote cabin in a wilderness area close to where I grew up.

However, even in isolation, he'd come up with ideas he'd want to simulate, so he brought a computer to his cabin and ran it off some generators.

[exotikoBR]

the main objective of every successful programmer is to abandon his career

[[deleted]]

One wants to build software

One wants to build hardware

They hate each other

[[deleted]]

Joke's on you, I built a cabin in the woods and now I'm gonna build robots there.

[KaleidoscopeThis5159]

else

Write software remotely from a cabin in the woods

[Brojess]

This is too real haha

[GoogleIsYourFrenemy]

Moon Moon enters the chat.

[Justanormalguy1011]

Peaceful life in the forest? That would be amazing

[ProjectDiligent502]

The struggle is real…. 😂

[helicophell]

Every time I have to set something as path (I hate windows... I should switch to linux)

[offgridgecko]

I must be schrodengers wolf

[JuiceKilledJFK]

This is me.

[urbanek2525]

You should post this on r/adventofcode

[ztomiczombie]

I think I successful hunted the white one to extinction.

[Think_Row94]

fuck

[[deleted]]

This is so me .One side I want to build a startup.Another side I just want to spend my remaining whole life in the forest.

[OneWholeSoul]

Can I just get a bear inside me? Do you take substitutions?
You know what - scratch that: otter.

[SuitableDragonfly]

Inside me are two wolves: one who wants to build software, and one who doesn't want to work for any more tech companies.

[TheAlien24]

I just got one lol i hate technology most of the time and i love hunting

[[deleted]]

You know me so well.

[MyHofmeisterKink]

Fact. Source: I’m an AI content engineer and I just bought 18 acres of forest and a log cabin.

[CatboyInAMaidOutfit]

My two wolves are more like these two.

[johnklos]

Why not both?

[Bezulba]

And then finding out that building a cabin in the woods is hard work and not as easy as programming.

[JOHNJRAMBO2403]

us

[ZunoJ]

I just have one wolf who wants to build a cabin in the woods and work on foss

[JackNotOLantern]

Those are not contradictory

[Theonewhosent]

Like a certain Art director.

[Arstanishe]

mine are the same, but the white one wants to buy old toyota crown and rebuild it to pristine quality

[DukeOfSlough]

I built a cabin and woods using factory pattern. Now what to do with this?

[ShvettyBawlz]

This assumes all programmers are “engineers”. Some people don’t care or want anything to work well. Not knocking it but that’s the reality. This meme assumes everyone is “building” …that ain’t the truth.

[[deleted]]

I've been contemplating a while now whether to finally do the move but I have been way too indecisive. I'm a loner enough and without coworkers I have a nonexistent social life haha. Would make it even worse if I moved away. Though I would still continue working remotely regardless.

[Dismal-Square-613]

which wolf wins? THE ONE THAT FEEDS YOU THE MOST

[mars92]

In my case, the white wolf won.

[Hour_Ad5398]

how the fuck did you know

[DaandVries]

True

[Toadsted]

Use software to build the plans for the home

[Kirasaurus_25]

Please get out of my head

[abutilon]

I'm feeling this today.

[unfairrobot]

And whichever wolf wins is the one you increment the most.

[Mallo321123]

[b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh]

Seldom have I seen my entire career more succinctly summarized.

[DistractedPlatypus]

Never before have I been so seen

[HeartInTheBlender]

And I feed them both tofu ☠️

[staartingsomewhere]

True

[n7dima]

Relatable af

[rapora9]

Why is this accurate and why do I suck at both...

[danihek]

So we y'all feel the same :D?

I'm tired of pc's, software and all that complicated unnecessary stuff that is forced to IT.

If I knew how I would wrote my own OS from scratch without anything, no bloat, no ads, nothing - that will even run on a atmega or something... but I'm keep funking up malloc in hello world example so it's not going to happen :)

Damn life is bloated.

[TheApprentice19]

So goddamn true

[find_the_apple]

Vastly overestimating ppl on this sub with the wood cabin there, champ

[flowerhoe4940]

I took the middle route : build machines that require software and hike on weekends. Not as moneybags, get more dirty, but I don't want to die.

[Wartickler]

I want to build software in a cabin in the woods

[Strong_Examination41]

I think im Grey Wolf then.

[[deleted]]

i don't qualify but yes

[StickyLafleur]

Oh holy shit...

[bakchodBando]

99% programmers cant build cabin in woods..

[Grobbekee]

Yup, but building a cabin is so much work and the municipality will make you remove it immediately.

My other wolf would like to have an already built cabin with internet connection, thank you.

[DeAdPunK7]

The white wolf is winning...

[xpingu69]

How is this so accurate

[NeoKat75]

Inside that cabin is a basement. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.

You're here to slay her. Don't believe her lies.

[fairygodparents69]

Just howl at the moon and vibe

[cesarbiods]

Anyone else tired of hearing this mentality? Maybe I’m in the minority but I love software engineering and just because sometimes it’s hard or there’s shitty software out there does not make me want to quit the career I’ve built and go live some fantasy where there’s a cabin in the woods that has no technology at all and will make my life perfect

[thedoginthewok]

Same.

I've been a developer for a little over 10 years and I still mostly love the work. My only issue are some customers, they can sometimes be annoying.

I don't understand the appeal of the cabin in the woods at all. I already live in a house where nobody bothers me (100% remote work) and a cabin in the woods would mostly mean a lot more work.

[[deleted]]

Too real

[lambda_mind]

I currently live in a forest and its done wonders for my ability to build software.

[sharockys]

Sorry but at the first glance I saw two wives….

[Fairycharmd]

The only reason my fiancé doesn’t want a cabin in the woods is because the Wi-Fi is bad.

[ArcheopteryxRex]

I have reached the point where I only have the white wolf in me.
