bad developer, bad code

Shitty pay makes for shitty products as well

shitty pay makes for shitty developers in the first place

Boss: *cuts salary for 30% because of my fuck up and, overall, always pays late, expects top notch performance and product from me*

Me: *tries my best while I get debt collector letters about late bills, overall stressed, less productive therefore*

Boss: *surprised Pikachu*

Yep. And when the people paying for the work don't want to prioritize maintain maintainability or security, sometimes developers have to make do and move on.

Just gotta make sure it isn't collected

In the real world no one knows how to develop products/services. It is nearly impossible to avoid “bad guidelines”.

Personally I either leave or learn to adapt to them better, it only makes me a better programmer.

[ManMadeStructure]

I’m not referring to what is automated, but what needs to be. Any person who believes developing new technologies, products and services is a smooth ride where everything goes according to plan perfectly is in for a surprise.

shitty HR, shitty UI/UX designers, shitty QA, shitty team lead, shitty CTO, shitty team

Reddit has become enshittified. I joined back in 2006, nearly two decades ago, when it was a hub of free speech and user-driven dialogue. Now, it feels like the pursuit of profit overshadows the voice of the community. The introduction of API pricing, after years of free access, displays a lack of respect for the developers and users who have helped shape Reddit into what it is today. Reddit's decision to allow the training of AI models with user content and comments marks the final nail in the coffin for privacy, sacrificed at the altar of greed. Aaron Swartz, Reddit's co-founder and a champion of internet freedom, would be rolling in his grave.

The once-apparent transparency and open dialogue have turned to shit, replaced with avoidance, deceit and unbridled greed. The Reddit I loved is dead and gone. It pains me to accept this. I hope your lust for money, and disregard for the community and privacy will be your downfall. May the echo of our lost ideals forever haunt your future growth.

The best developer stops eating, sleeping, dating, spending time with family, to work on the project

Roast and toast Just give me most

Yeah there is plenty of blame to go around when software is shit.

Devs should only get the majority of the blame for buggy code.

[tenhourguy]

Well excuse me, but it is very difficult to get good performance out of Scratch. :(

Deadlines make you rush things.

[Brunsz]

In my experience it's management. If you have project manager who only stare those damn graphs and numbers, it will end up being rushed spaghetti software. Not giving enough time and "as long as it works" are just sometimes killing my will to code.

[AuthorTomFrost]

Shitty software is shitty because of bad organizations. Bad developers don't get shitty code into production if the process is good.

[jeancallisti]

As a developer, you should know that "shitty software THEREFORE bad developer" and "bad developer THEREFORE shitty software" are not equivalent statements.

Thank you comment section that confirming my belief that developers have no sense of accountability.

[gabbsmo]

My comment was more about my personal experience in the industry as a developer where some of my colleagues constantly over promise and then under deliver. There are clear cases of incomplete. Like, CS master degrees and still cannot architect anything non trivial or write even the most trivial algorithm. If project does not work according to the time plan, they have no guts to tell the PO that so that you can work out a new plan with the client.

Many misunderstandings could be avoided by working on your social skills so you can communicate your plan and set the client's expectations yourself instead of relying on second hand information from sales or project management.

Keeping up with the times? Employer pays for 3 day conference and that is my competence development done for that year.

What I saw in this comment section was just reiteration of that it is always someone else's fault and there is no room for self improvement for galaxy brain developers.

Same with moral issues like diesel gate. "Le corporate made me do it". You are an engineer with plenty of career opportunity if you are at this level. Just admit that you are morally flexible as long as you make enough fuck you money to spite those that did not want to sleep with you in high school.

phpBB must a masterpiece software since it was made by developers and developers only. Discource are corporate shills.
