I saw this shit too in a c++ class I joined and I couldn’t stop laughing at the guy when I was reviewing his code. I asked him how long he took and he said “2 hours” and I proceeded to shorten his 100 use cases to about 6-10 lines of code within 5 minutes. Basically just pick up a book and read it through or your life will be hell.

tolower???? Wtf man why???

As well as ToLower as others have mentioned, couldn't they have used Switch/Case/Break as well? I'm a hobby programmer and don't use that at all, but 5 seconds of googling told me how to use that in JS. Good Lord.

Some stuff can't be planned. I'm not a fan of management cults either.

@ghost mall most "agile" is just waterfall rebranded

one of the core principle of agile is to be adaptable and should evolve with time and experience, where as almost all company practicing agile use a super hard rigid super unchangeable agile system/framework

Waterfall or plan driven development.

Sprint planning/ Kanbqn Boards, Burndown charts, User stories, product backlog refinement, how are you not planning when your Agile?

So true... Though you can't really use them as much during development, constant compiling and all that stuff so there are also tools aiming to recreate environments without co tainers...

"It works on my container"

@@shapelessed if you've written the dockerfile in a right way, as in the entire setup of environment happens before any frequently changing code is copied, creating newer image is pretty quick since it can reuse all the layers from previous versions while changing only the code

Way worse than just finding an open question from 12 years ago with no answer at all. There's a known fix, but you'll never know what it was until you bash your forehead against the problem long enough.

Honestly the owner was responsible from what you say. At the end of the day, for live code not to crash the people at the top either need to understand it or they need to have hired a team of actual experts. If it's one programmer at a time in the company, the owner and the programmer need to be one and the same.

@@traveller23e I hear what you are saying, but this was a *very* small company and the owner knew nothing about programming, which is probably why the original programmer was hired despite obviously--to other coders--not knowing what he was doing. In other words, the guy I replaced conned the owner into hiring him, 'faked it til he made it', and left before the barely-working and utterly unmaintainable mess he had made blew up.

@@KeithOlson Interesting that he came back though to fix the mess he'd made. I wonder if there was some personal tie.

@@traveller23e No, the owner made it plain that he had to pay a *LOT* of money to get the guy to come back to deal with the mess.

@@KeithOlson That's on the owner for letting a shitty programmer take advantage of them. Sorry you got caught in the middle, but none of that was your fault.

This is so true 😄

Can 100% relate!

wow, ad hoc standups... that's some hardcore agile shit right there! 😁

LOL yep

I just start my work with the stand up ez win

i hope my scrum master does this lol

That's insanely quick response from ur boss, my boss ain't even participating in standups

That’s the dream

Stand-ups shouldn't have non developers to start with. It's not meant as a status update.

When a developer says "same as tomorrow" it's a bad smell. XP coach (or Scrum master) has to wake up and reject that. The dev has to say what he has done since yesterday ; if he is stuck, he should speak loud for help, instead of waiting for a solution to pop out magically

This is terrible

Thanks boss! I typed my resumé and resignation in under an hour! Look, I even used the é !

@@LabGecko😂

Which is helpful to type a new job application for a better company.

What code looks like to non-programmers: /** * Codes the code by coding code with code. * By coding code it codes code that codes coders code. * Coders code codes code that codes coding code that coders code. */ code Code code Code { Code code = Code; Code code = "code"; code code[] code = code code[code]; code code code() { code(code code = code; code < code.code; code++) { code[code] = code } code code; } }

Just charge per hour. 1 hour min per request/ticket, that way don't bug you one little thing at a time. If it takes 5 min they still getting charged an hour

Stay away from the client who say I have lot of work for you too since they are only boning you to get a lot of shit done for free.

Right? Like a merge conflict ain't shit. Maybe to someone new it is daunting, not knowing what to keep or cut. Or understanding that some.functionality may have changed as a result of the merge and it's gonna take a little more time to pull together and get things working again. But that's the job..

Same. Just Tried to get EAC to work on my device, re-installed, moved files, edited a script, nothing.

even worse is that you finally find an answer that looks like it might work, only for it to not work at all

@@almicc this is bringing up too much past trauma 😭

Do we work together lol?

I'm not sure if it worse when it your codebase or someone else's. Our outfit always falls victim to the "just need a one off real quick." Ok, so no plans to build it out further, fine, quick and dirty solution, there ya go. "hey, that worked so well can you just add this one more thing on it and that will be fine, but need it like today." Fine, real quick here it is. "hey, can you integrate x and y with it, that would be great." At which point you start staying, it sounds like the scope creep is ramping up here and this isn't a one off, we should probably scrap it, plan it, and build it out as a permanent, extensible solution. That will take a couple weeks, otherwise we are going to get trapped into tech debt if this thing keeps evolving. "nah, just slap some glue and duct tape so we can have it tomorrow, this is probably the last changes we will make. If we want to do more we will rebuild it." Ok, you want more, now we need to rebuild it right but we're into a month now. "ooo, that won't work, we need this new feature in a couple days" Rinse and repeat for years is how you get a legacy monstrosity even with best intentions. Moral of the the story is assuming your standalone helper tool will eventually morph into the recreation of Salesforce and SAP 😂

This project will ONLY run for 3 months ....... 9 years later. Can you add new features to it....NO. It is not only my own code that needs updating, but also all the libraries are outdated and will give conflicts and some libraries are not even updated for the last 3 years. Better to start all over then try to migrate it. But somehow there is never a budget for that. And then they pass it over to the next victim who thinks the original programmer is an idiot, not knowing this code was made in a different era.

ASAP is actually my preferred deadline because I am free to call their bullshit by interpreting it in the most literal sense. My immediate answer is: "As soon as possible, okay. I am fully booked for the foreseeable future. Best shot is in 2 months. But no guarantee. And of course it will get delayed if an emergency comes in the meantime. If you want it earlier, give me an actual date and I'll see 1. if it's feasible and 2. what I will have to postpone to make room for it." And feel free to add unreasonable extra delay based on the lack of information to make it clear that by failing to give you all the info required they are slowing your work and penalizing themselves. You can't have your bosses and clients respect your precious time if you disrespect it yourself by accepting all kinds of abusive requests.

Wait good PMs exist?

Joke aside, I'm curious about what you like better or less now compared to your previous job; what led you to change?

Same I'm also curious

Yep definitely, civil engineering is all about deadlines that cannot be held and having to work with people who are totally stressed because of that. Also people who make unreasonable demands because of those deadlines or you have been forced into some contract and you have to pay money for every day of delay because of that. In addition there are a lot of people who are not competent enough so you end up fixing other peoples mistakes a lot, which causes you to be late and then you have to take all the blame for some reason.

Thanks for this comment akram.

thats why in agile you let the product owner make a change request ticket, then u analyze the task (and charge for the analyzis) together with the other requests, where you then say this ticket will take estimated 20 hours to implement, and let the PO decide if he still needs this small change.

"when non-tech people have enough leverage at a company to drive technical based decisions" I hate this one specially. The non-tech guy makes some dumb decision that you know will cause major issues later down the line, but no one cares because you will be the one to fix it later on anyway...

I tell people it's like writing a ten page college essay - in mathematics - and a single mistake in your ten page math essay causes the entire thing to not work. "Can you reliably produce ten page math essays, without so much as a single mistake? No? Then you understand my pain. Now leave my office, MORTAL!"

​@@arthurwintersight7868 "ten page college essay in mathematics" is the best analogy I have ever heard for coding 😂 Will be using it from now on

@@arthurwintersight7868As someone who's currently doing an A-Level in software development... yeah that analogy is pretty accurate.

This is so relatable it’s crazy. Shipping worse code AND they’re more expensive

thats annoying, how about you try to teach some of your friends how to code so that they have a little more respect lol if you were a physicist and you sat around writing papers all day, I doubt they would devalue your work, seems like a SE thing to me

Doctors just sit around and pump you with meds till they work. You can oversimplify any job lol

@@Viqtor Oh yeah. I exaggerated for comic effect, but only a little. My daughter actually said "I feel like your job really isn't that hard", mustering all the authority of a couple of beginner coding tutorials under her belt. Sigh. :-)

Start talking to them about space and time complexity of the Algorithm you are working on and briefly explain why it uses linear over Quadratic time and how it's represented using Big'O notation. Then watch there brains fizz up and watch the respect for the job you do increase. 😁

Upvote for "point of friend", hah

My worst experience (so far) was spending several hours going over code to find why it was hanging, figuring out that it was a really stupid mistake, and then realizing that the whole part of the code was useless and there was a much better way of doing it already in a library that I had installed.

And sanitize the damn input.

And it's been online for years. And then you ask yourself: Are you going to solve it even though no one else ever solved it, or are you going to do it completely differently, probably like the other person did?

@@DerMichael The answer is more often than not the latter.
