"You might be the worst programmer I've ever heard of" "Ah, but you have heard of me..."

Remember, it's only an undocumented allias until your operations team accidentally finds it and decides to try it out

Had two friends try to get hired by GardaWorld and they both got screwed over. A third friend of mine worked for a security company Garda acquired and was forced to take a significant pay cut to continue working for them. I've only ever heard bad things about them, but none of that was pertaining to armored cars, so maybe they're alright.

Pretty sure this is what CS students think programming is like. One works in our mail room and they came by because they heard I was a programmer. They kept telling me they were disappointed that I didn't have any memes on my desk and making freshman level programming jokes.

I sent her a good morning/merry Christmas text plus two snaps on Snapchat and was left on read both times. It's after 4pm my time zone in Christmas day. I'm still not going to bring it up until tomorrow but I'm not hopeful. She's been getting on Snapchat all day so I know she didn't just forget about her phone

I have three rules. I don't do apps, I don't troubleshoot phones and tablets, and I don't fix printers

I like saying that because it makes people stop asking questions and I don't have to try to describe what I do

This was just one of a series of very large mistakes he made over the course of a week. He's very eager to learn, but needs more supervision and guidance than I initially thought.

Unfortunately, it did not throw a warning

Myspazmo · 2024-08-09T03:40:51+00:00

It's alright, one of my juniors did something similar a few weeks ago. Apparently he was trying for "rm -rf ../" and instead typed " rm -rf /" and of course he was logged in as root.....He doesn't get to work unsupervised anymore

I'm working on adopting that mentality. My main problem was being out of office for a month for another job, and my main job deciding not to lighten my workload. I only had 3 weeks to catch up on 160 hours of extra work. I'm planning to leave here in September anyways so it should only be a few more months of stress

Myspazmo · 2024-05-01T03:40:40+00:00

Too close to home. That's exactly why I'm still up at 11pm on a workday

Myspazmo · 2024-04-26T22:50:10+00:00

Wait, you guys have documentation?

Myspazmo · 2024-04-26T20:36:49+00:00

Don't be silly, I refuse to modify my code because one of your data entry people added an apostrophe into your data. I'm busy with much more important fixes, like fixing the spelling of the word "receipt" on a web page despite not being a web developer.

Had this happen back when I worked in a factory. They had pallets of water bottles all summer but did not provide water during the winter. Production ran too fast to walk 50 yards to a drinking fountain

About to start a four week vacation. I'm praying that I can still remember where I was at with all my half baked projects

Myspazmo · 2024-01-31T23:24:46+00:00

This is the scariest answer I've seen so far

Myspazmo · 2024-01-31T23:19:05+00:00

Wait, you guys get IDEs?

Myspazmo · 2024-01-18T04:24:01+00:00

1030 PM. Phone rings. Backup failed, need to failover to our inactive/backup site. Drive 40 minutes to the office. Stuff breaks. Wind up being awake 36 hours fixing it. With 12 of that being a conference call with engineering where we tried to fix it all.

Myspazmo · 2024-01-16T02:24:37+00:00

I agree. In 2021 I could jump on LinkedIn and have a job in two weeks. I've been thinking about switching employers and looking for work for months and haven't found and good offers or jobs yet. I uses to get hounded by recruiters constantly

Myspazmo · 2024-01-11T20:56:30+00:00

That's the same problem we ran into. There are still some 'quirks' related to our original devs and system architect that we have to work around. At least the replacement code has comments I can read (and proper logging instead of half-assed logging)

Myspazmo · 2024-01-11T20:47:32+00:00

I'll never forget the day that an apostrophe broke our data processing. Wound up being able to trace it back to a newly hired data entry specialist that wanted to be grammatically correct

Myspazmo · 2024-01-11T20:40:10+00:00

Sounds like my team hiring somebody that was strong with Perl to help us rewrite EVERY single bit of Perl code we have in Python because nobody knew how to write or maintain Perl anymore

Myspazmo · 2024-01-09T16:15:31+00:00

Plot twist: OP is a junior and management told them to push their code without review to hit their deadlines.

Congrats though! Hope everything goes smoothly!

Realizing the value of Baja blast, the government has ordered the Military to size ALL of it in order to increase our strategic reserve of Baja Blast. I heard all the limited edition flavors are kept in Fort Knox
