Anyone else experiencing moments like 'you sit behind a computer all day, how hard can your job be?' or is it just me?? 🤔
I'm getting tired of this shit... Especially when it's comming from a person who relies ob tonns of apps to do their goddamn job.. :/
I'd get it if it was comming from a farmer who actually has to work hard to produce the food for us.. or any of the blue collars..but from white collars?!? Dafuck?! Yeah, I may not be the person writing the code for your precious little apps, but they're written by people just like me, who sit behind a computer all day & code.. :/
Show some respect ya cunts!!

Being a software developer is one of the most underappreciated jobs..
Especially web developers.

"Then try doing my job, you gaslighting cunt"
Brings in a few chuckles

@lotd Yes, we build the stuff so you can browse the stores online because Covid does not allow you to look "on-site". We build the complex stuff that allows you to register for vaccination appointments or just something simple like a newsletter tool for the mom&pop store next door.

Hell, half of the world relies on the internet. With web devs stopping their work and the devops people stopping theirs, half the online-supported economy would just grind to a halt.

Of course, the same would happen if other jobs like farmers or blue collars stop theirs. Just show some respect to each other and don't look down on them.

Except influencers, the world kept spinning years without them. That is a "job" we don't need.

@DBX12 from my experience, the issues with Web dev largely comes from ppl thinking they can do it themselves, with WordPress or Wix.

Also there's always a cheap 3rd world company to outsource it to..

Yep, Wordpress, the bane of true webdevs. Had the experience last week. Wanted to watch a livestream concert, over 2k people bought tickets. When everyone tried to login shortly before the concert begins, the wordpress instance basically went: "Ok, kinda stressful situation here. Guess I die now" and the concert was postponed 1 hour and started on Youtube xD

Wordpress is fine for your quick-and-dirty website of the local cat breeder club but not for "enterprise" websites.

"Would it be just you? That depends. If YOU do a RayCast, where would you define the layer mask? Ask yourself that question. We both know the answer to THAT one, right?"

Emit a laugh as genuine as possible and stare at them for an uncomfortable amount of time.

@lotd and Mobile app developer... Because they think it is EASY job.

@johnmelodyme yup tell me about it.
My job is basically full stack web dev, mobile app dev & Dev ops.

I'm still frequently being told I have it easy and shouldn't complain.
Least of all, ask for a raise beyond minimum wage (:

@lotd same here....I was told frequently that there is always a template for Android app. They said " I can do it with templates. You are just optional"

@johnmelodyme yup.
Be careful telling them to go ahead.

Eventually you'll have to support & expand their template

Same, but I learned to ignore it. ppl2dumb to ever get it

Oh, wow..a discussion on my rant.. xD

@DBX12 Don't get me started on "influencers".. CaN u pLz gib FreE sTufz?!
:/

@Inxentas OMG made me laugh

P.S. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! // went to sane..it's fun being in sane...

"cmon, all you do is play with crayons"
