Programmer Humor

My first job out of uni was developing an internal system for a company.

On a certain day, I was the first of my team to arrive. Before I could even get to my desk, a distressed colleague stopped me.

"Hey, can you help me? The system is broken! The tables are cutting off and everything is in the wrong place." he says.

We go to his desk and he shows me the problem. I grab the mouse and click the Windows maximize button.

"Oh! Thanks, it's fixed."

That guy worked there for decades and earned over five times more than me.

I've got a guy like this now. I'm sure he does what he does perfectly fine, but I watched him struggle to identify a very obvious bug he pushed to production which disabled an entire function. It's a little different now when I see him being snarky with other team members...

"Can we get an AI tool to save pdfs?"

Then you gotta help them, you go take a bottle of water and they already forgot ya, when they are done (after you helped them again) they will return to treat ya like someone useless cuz to them you are "the useless keyboard jockey"

Story of my life. 

Struggle to paste the path to a file. Seriously.

My boss didn't know how to use my ergonomic mouse, and needed me to walk them through how to sign their signature on a PDF.

Most devs refuse to take on any sort of responsibility of management. The manager gets paid to deal with that for you. Want more money? Manage coders on a successful team. You'll e miserable but at least you'll hit 200k.
