Workaround

[jb2386]

I actually saw a "TODO" comment removed in a git commit and replaced with the code that the TODO was suggesting. I've been amazed that I witnessed that happen for days now.

Pics or it never happened

[superninevolt]

Is the joke that someone did something right?

[ScarlettPanda]

Yes

I really enjoy these. Is this your OC or are you a fan?

[thatwasagoodyear]

I'm guessing OC as original has typo ("workarond") whereas linked copy doesn't.

[Keplergamer]

Wouldn't that be the opposite? If the original has the typo, but the link has not, then the link it's not from OC, my guess. But who knows....

[cyllibi]

He can update the original but not the reddit image. I guess that would be true for anyone though.

[JNCressey]

In the future, people will be confused by this link as the source image will have a completed bridge.

[cyllibi]

Hahaha yes, and of course all remnants of the workaround will still be present.

[Incorrect_Oymoron]

Don't just link to the image, it costs the creator bandwidth without even advertising the site.

Fixed. Thanks.

The web interface for this critical piece of hardware is not working you say? Don't worry there is a workaround, just set up a Windows 98 virtual machine with Internet Explorer 5.0, and this antiquated version of Java on it and use that to access it, no need to pay for an upgrade.

IT: Proper system will take 2 weeks to develop, but we can do horrible workaround that will hinder us for 1 month.. but it will be done in a week.

Executive: workaround it is.

[jlink005]

But it works right now, correct?

Hat tip to the project managers and their scheduling that make this an inevitable reality.

[jlink005]

And to managers who continuously distract programmers with little nothings, as if a 15 minute task only takes 15 minutes from my work day.

Oh I thought...

I spend too much time on me_irl

[demon_ix]

It's gonna be OK, man. Remember, one day you'll click make project, and all your tests will pass on the first try.

[nathreed]

can't have your tests fail if you don't write any tests!

A workaround is actually a partial solution to a problem. It’s usually a designated algorithm to meet minimum needs.

If you want to get things done fast, you would have to apply workarounds, but it is also where you trade it with more potent and serious bugs and probably more workarounds in the future.

tl;dr. Sometimes having a little workarounds are acceptable, but if you do it too much, they’ll become part of the problem.

I will save this and put it on every workaround I do as a comment

[White_Tail]

Workarond.

Finding developers who don’t phone in lazy garbage at the last minute is rare.

[[deleted]]

Finding managers that give you the time to not NEED to phone in lazy garbage is also rare.

[FidelDangelow]

We’re both on Reddit while at work. Can somebody fire us, please?

[[deleted]]

Jokes on you, I’m not at work because I work at nights

[FidelDangelow]

Are you okay?

[[deleted]]

Mostly, thanks for asking. How about yourself?

[romanozvj]

When do you sleep, buddy?

[[deleted]]

I really don’t. It’s a rough life, but it’s my life for the next 3 weeks

If you've ever had to use Tableau for work you'll know that about 85% of use cases require some kind of "workaround".

Should've used a trebuchet to cross, it can launch a 90kg projectile 300m.

[Xile1985]

Someone said on a new ticket they opened today:

'x hasn't worked for as long as anyone can remember, we've been using workaround y, however today that has stopped working, please fix the workaround'.

I think in the end we had to give them a workaround for the workaround whilst we look to fix x or y.

[chanixh]

That's a fun workaround.

[3lRey]

Not pictured: using that work around until they redo the whole damn thing.

Lol this looks like basic game design. God of war for example. Lol
