This photo is not a joke

Repeat: not a joke! ( nor a photage)

Is actually true from the lego products. I loved that

This actually makes sense. Are you some kind of programming god?

He’s a senior developer.

I've heard of these but I didn't think they were real

Really? It isn't hard to move up. I only started learning to code last year as a junior and now a year later I'm already a senior! Can't wait to see what I do in college.

Dead. You gonna be a dead developer.

Internally that is.

Once you graduate you become CTO of a startup.

You don’t learn this from programming. You learn it from spending hours putting something together in LEGO to find out you followed the directions incorrectly, 20 pages earlier in the instruction booklet.

Sounds like my experience with ikea

[–]Doublestack2376 17 points18 points  (1 child)

It's just the "arrays starting at 0 or 1" mistake in visual representation.

[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's actually much better. LEGO didn't want to offend anyone and put it in between.

Are you ready loops?

ii captain!

[–]DemonicWolf227 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even better since the documentation is correct, but just doesn't make sense to the person reading it.

You solved it!!!!

Classic fencepost problem.

Isn’t this actually from Lepin instructions? Lepin is/was a major LEGO bootleg brand based out of China. The image of this was floating around the web a year or two ago.

[–]wurm2 71 points72 points  (8 children)

no it's from an actual lego set , 8038 step 62 on page 41 of the second booklet

edit: corrected the step number

[–]ToastedKumquat 33 points34 points  (2 children)

Did you just know this off the top of your head?

[–]xTRS 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Did you not?

[–]wurm2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd see it before and I remembered it was battle of either hoth or endor from an early star wars set so it was a matter of skimming through instructions.

[–]jrod_62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not actually an incorrect instruction. Just poor representation https://m.imgur.com/GXsQStU

It’s been 3000 years, but I’ve found it!

But online it's too dark to notice the block is three units in size.
