      I’ve been an actual janitor and a sysadmin… they’re not dissimilar. You clean up other people’s shit for a living.

    It’s mind bending that there are actual humans on the planet, paid a shit tonne more than software developers, who not only believe the parody highlighted by @SwiftOnSecutity, but treat and share it as gospel, acting on it with nutjob metrics to “increase productivity” whilst salivating over the hyperbole around “AI” that is sweeping the globe, dreaming of a better world.

    One without those pesky developers with their brains, thoughts and opinions.

    But, what do I know, I’ve been in this profession for only 40 years…

    im convinced most developers spend more time working on making shit work, rather than actually writing code and bugfixing it.

    edit: this was mostly a shitpost, and i was expecting some flack, but i got basically none. Can we have a real moment here. Are you guys doing ok? Who made you do this to yourselves?

    ok, real talk over, we’re going back to suffering now.

      Half the time it’s trying to figure out where to apply the next piece of duct tape to keep the entire house of cards (and duct tape) from collapsing.
