Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Assuming green is the boss: I totally agree. If you don't proofread your texts before hitting send, that might be indicative of how you deploy things, too.
I'd love to know how the story continues - did they lose their job? - but considering the JPEG patina on this I don't think we'll ever find out.
Jpeg patina π€£
That also cracked me up. Great phrase
I barely proof read anything I type on my phone, and my comment history is a testament to that. I deploy code or system changes most days, but I proof read the shit out of those on top of the QC they goes through. Any company worth anything will have a process for reviewing and approving anything being deployed, or probably destroyed for that matter.
You vastly overestimate the number of companies that are 'worth anything'.
Up until recently I worked for a company worth anything, and you would be surprised at how many major outages were caused by either skipping the process or gaps in the process.
You know that adage: "the safety rules are written in blood"? The same is true for change processes, just with a cost measured in dollars instead of human injury/worse.
Or sometimes there are just multiple failures. That's what I learned from reading Admiral Cloudberg about air disasters: even if you have n safety measures, there's still the chance that there'll be n+1 failures.
Code should ideally be going through tests before prod anyway. There should be no code changed from successful test to prod. Proofreading shouldnβt matter at that point. Just scheduling the actual deploy.
I mostly mean proof what I've written prior to having someone else test. I often will comment out lines when trying different things so I just make sure I clean up what I've done. We have a few human checks as well as some automated checks between each stage of deployment for each environment.
Normally i would disagree completely as texts have crappy input on a small screen and are meant to be fast. I have typos in mine constantly because swide input and it's obvious what the word should have been.
But yeah, an important text like this does merit at least one read through.
My texts are rubbish because, somehow, the keyboard predictions & autocorrect are worse now than 5 years ago. We have LLMs barfing out fully coherent sentences on their own, how does this even happen.
Yeah, we could have functional input but no we have to destroy our planet to summarize a one sentence email into a multi-paragraph bulleted list - it's bullshit
on android Heliboard + the swype library is ok. It's at least consistent.
I swear to god this drives me nuts. It was fine years ago. Now itβs ass. What the fuck?
I think it has to do with the architecture. Just a wild guess, but I assume that the design is susceptible to indeterminate results based on device performance. Because itβs really fucking bad when my phone gets a little hot.
My guess is that modern phones are doing 50x more shit than they need to. So passive QoL features like autocorrect are being choked.
The older the jpeg the more likely it is that he's moved on to another job by now.
could just be ADHD. the impulse to speak your mind rarely translates to the impulse to speak to da computah
If you have to proofread when deploying you're doing things wrong
I doubt it's real. Most of the screenshots here are just Ai generated for people to react to. It's entertainment.
the politeness of this interaction is what makes me laugh
"I know but I insist π"
Applogies
What a power move. Now he gets a paid day off.
John's playing 4D chess
He'll be the next US president, but for that he'll have to actually destroy everything he touches, not just make threats to do it.
I had a coworker who tried something like this on a federal holiday, ended up bringing down production on everyone's day off, and ruining a bunch of people's days to clean up the mess just because someone was trying to go above and beyond.
Some managers would praise him for his "spirit", congratulate the rest of the team for their "sacrifice", and still not give anyone a bonus nor a raise, because "that's just the job!".
I'm going to destroy the servers and db then murder the janitor with a hammer.
Oops *deploy
Please take a vacation!
He has a family. ππ½
What's the point of deploying a janitor with a hammer when the servers are already destroyed? Smh my head.
Thats a good one
Claude run destroy production script.
Aka Claude, do a basic task
Brb baws imma just do a quick lil
ddcommand in prd
ππππ
du* - applogies hehe
Oh yeah baby, destroy my backend!
No problem
I jus need to run touch
Then mount
Who the hell uses WhatsApp for comms in IT?
Not all companies have fancy teams and other related apps to communicate.
Fancy?
Matrix is fancy
teams is not fancy, I would say its worse
I used to do contract work for AVASO; they were using WhatsApp for comms at the time.
Banks with obscure security rules
Yeah, probably so obscure that no one could decipher themβ¦
rm -rf /*
Oops sorry rm -rf ./*
Just a typo mb
Please take a the day off π, please π!
This is typical tech timeline too. Everything is so rushed that shit literally happen in minutes.
It'll never not be hilarious how anyone could be so polite in a scenario like this.
Kinda feel bad for them tbh.
