Me as a junior dev writing 1000 lines of spaghetti code everyday: "Let's go!!!"
Me as a senior dev writing 5 lines of code everyday and spent the rest of the day reviewing thousands LoC commits from my juniors: "I didn't sign up for this. I should've learn carpentry instead."
Newbie tradesmen: laughs in the wrong kind of screw.
“I didn’t sign up for this. I should’ve learn carpentry instead.”
I know a programmer who got fed up with corporate bullshit and did exactly that; they just got their diploma from a vocational school and now they're officially a carpenter.
This is because of all the corporate bullshit you have to deal with as a senior dev :/
Yep, 90% of my time while turning the button, a different color is spent teaching the juniors how to make their five web pages worth of content and unblocking people who are stuck because they did something stupid.
not production ready vs. production ready
Yuuup. Webpage with a button to toggle a bit in a database. For a personal project, 1 day. For work? Well it took a few weeks to figure out what database, what pass security review, register our subdomain, get traffic quota, revise security review, mocks, learn new framework as the old one is deprecated, set up a new group to run the app as, including admin group and two person authorization to make changes. Set up autopush and test environment. Uh key rotation schedule. Reply to comments on the design doc questioning our choice of database. Translations for all the text.
Only took a quarter.
Edit: oh I forgot gdpr deletion service. But we got to hand that off to another team. Yaaay.
This is so true I don’t know whether to cry or laugh…probably both
Because before we got a standup, then we got to follow figma design on what color of blue it is. Then we got to branch off and change the color, then test, then deploy, then hand off to QA and explain why the color is blue and not green. Then wait for product to confirm the button is indeed blue…. Im tired…..
For the 20th time this day..
Me as a junior who already have some back pain, interesting.
