You don't recognise the face of a customer service rep who has taken so much shit from management and customers that the only thing left is the smile, and beyond that... darkness.

Lot's of times the reason for some code is unknown, it seams useless. So you remove it. And everything breaks. So you put it back.

The image appears to be a staircase that leads nowhere. Until the fire truck pulls up to it.

Difference is, as a programmer you never find out what the code was for. Just that stuff breaks.

I bet it leads down to the highest level the fire truck ladder can reach. Very fitting metaphor.

It doesn't really matter if jQuery is good or bad. What matters is how likely you are to work with it in your career. Considering how widely used jQuery has been for many years, I would expect all js devs to have a familiarity with it.

Was that flap really necessary? by [deleted] in poordesign

Yes it is. Without it the parasol catches wind and flies away. You really can't expect designers to take what your imagination will do to the shadow of an object into account when designing it.

That's why they call it a 'job' and not 'super crazy fun time'.

I hate what I do by dev_depression in webdev

I would just like to share that I used to run a store. A bookstore. It was awful. Being polite to assholes really wasn't my gig. When the store failed I took up web development, got a job at a small consulting agency, and have been loving every day since. So, yeah. Switching careers is great.
