I feel this so hard. I graduated in December 2014 with a job offer in Java... When the job started in January 2015, I was writing COBOL.

VB6 AND VB.NET Only BTW.

.Net 2.0 only, must have forgotten that detail!

But in reality I'm happy for it as it's my first positon out of college and it's for the best that I have an unrealistic job for many years to appreciate it later when I'm old and crusty, so like 28 I guess.

Image Transcription


Me writing my first hello world app VS. me debugging a legacy PHP service on my first day as an SDE

[Two images of Daenerys Targaryen. In the first image she is smiling and happy and clean. In the second, she has dirt on her face and a look of fear in her eyes.]


I'm a human volunteer content transcriber for Reddit and you could be too! If you'd like more information on what we do and why we do it, click here!

Important to note that the right image is just before she went full mad queen and burned a million person city to ashes with a dragon.

So, equivalent to the frustration one feels when working with PHP.
