is everyone here a complete beginner? how do so many people relate to this? as soon as you need to do anything halfway interesting the thing just confidently spews nonsense.
Nope. 10 years experience at dicking around and collecting a paycheck. ChatGPT helps me dick around better.
Sometimes the more nonsensical it looks the less likely someone will bother taking their time to actually code review it.
My goal is keeping a job. Not getting work done. Then I just get more work to do.
Edit: I don't know why I expected people on this sub to actually be able to tell what a joke was.
Oh god youre the person behind all the legacy codebases I've maintained
I'm glad someone enjoyed my humor. I'm a mix between your most annoying coworker and your favorite coworker that approves your PR whenever you ping them. No unit test attached? Approved. Im sure you're gonna do that when you have the time. Just make sure you address my minor comment that looks like I had some feedback ok?
I'm just disappointed that you aren't living the dream.
I believe in your ability to slack off.
I am currently actually. My startup I put my heart into for 5 years got bought out by $BIG_COMPANY for pennies on the dollar a couple years ago. Have just been giving about 2-5% effort since. Half the people that built our startup got screwed over and laid off. It felt only right to give zero effort since then as a survivor of it. Waiting for $BIG_COMPANY to drop next round of layoffs and rethink my career.
I love programming. But this field is just garbage to the people that care about it. I'm bitter for sure. Collecting a paycheck until then. I'm surprised at how little effort I can give and still not get fired.
And don't even get my started on how much this field exploits the fuck out of H1 visas for what is basically modern day serfdom.
