But where is the reverse engineer?

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 69 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

You just have to look up to see them

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 26 points 2 weeks ago

He’s uploading to a mirror.

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago

That's just Australian backend.

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I prefer forward deployed developers

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

That's a pentester

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, found it! Just had to look back in time

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Check your mirror

Is this what passes for humour amongst front-end devs? Explains a lot :)

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The design and the UX of the joke is perfect. Making it actually funny is not my department.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

QA says it was in the design spec, so back to Jira with you.

Check the figma wireframes, I clearly marked the fields where engineering was to insert the comedy

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Sorry, did you not see the Teams notifications? Most of the engineers have been reassigned for the remainder of the project.

The product owner says it’s on the screen so it’s front ends responsibility.

Let’s have an in person meeting on Friday about reallocating part of your personal training budget to get you on a course. Face-to-face would be better, don’t you think?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hi, thanks for your message.

I'll be out of the office on vacation for the next two weeks. For any urgent matters, do not hesitate to delegate them to other departments. If you need to reach me while I am on vacation, I wish you all the best.

This is an automated response, please do not reply.

Found the European

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Figma balls

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Their frameworks pass for humor.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago

Don’t say that. It’ll give them an excuse to write yet another one.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

React-ionaries.

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 6 points 2 weeks ago

I think is one of them fool stack engineers or something.

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's genuinely funny, I don't know what more you want. (I don't consider myself a frontend dev fwiw)

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can tell you what more: the keyboard is upside down in this picture

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Uhh but it's clearly not though?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That was the joke, that for a backend it should also be backwards, I guess I'm no fun ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I see, you're essentially saying that the picture should have had the keyboard upside down to complete the joke. Gotcha.

(FWIW I didn't downvote)

Slopgen pictures of developers be like.

[–] thesdev@feddit.org 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Slopgen? This meme has been in circulation so long it can retire with full benefits.

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

The joke is that slopgen images tend to have the monitors in the wrong way

[–] AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can't tell if joke about slop or if you think this is slopgen. What a timeline...

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Clarification: this is a joke about how slop images tend to get monitor directions wrong but it never bothers slop enjoyers.

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

My favourite is when the monitor is facing East, but the user is facing North-west.

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh gosh. I legit nose snorted on this one.

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Every time I scroll past this post, I get reminded of that one NGINX extension for JetBrains with the AI slop image of a cat not looking at its monitor, I'll post it here if I remember to do so.
