I have a dream that one day the sales people will consult with a developer on time and effort estimates before making ridiculous promises to the client.

It’s always fun when you are asked to push to production on a friday afternoon...Because the project managers and owners won’t have be the ones who have to fix something on a friday night or weekend 🤷‍♂️

Builds a site around a CMS, so non devs can update content

Gets asked to make simple changes that can be made using said CMS

🤦‍♂️

Company uses Trello to track bugs and features the devs are doing.

End of the week the PM: "So what bugs and features did you work on this week?"

If only there was a platform that we could track all these things... 🤦‍♂️

Boss: I'm not seeing the fix for the simple text change issue

Me: (who cares about little design details which said boss really likes about me) That simple text change is a long line of text and breaks on all screen sizes besides your big ass monitor, so I asked for a designers opinion, which I finally got today.

My bad for caring just a little bit...

When one PM hands you off to another PM and neither has any idea about the project I am supposed to be working on...nor do I have access to the Trello boards, the repos, etc...

Happy Monday 🤦‍♂️

My boss, who can't code, just gave me a bug to fix and said should be a quick fix...

It might be, but since you can't code, maybe don't assume

🤦‍♂️

When you give your team and the client a month+ to test the app and get no feedback, then all of a sudden once it's live in the app store you get an email filled with bug reports....

Were you guys not testing it at all?!

😡🤦‍♂️

Designer: hey, can you add this thing

Me: Sure, but that's probably a day's worth of work

Designer: oh, I thought it was just a line of code

Me: 😑😡🤦‍♂️

Happy Wednesday :)

I found the source code of my previous employer

Headphones and the Pomodoro technique. Works great for getting shit done

Weekdays: Coding in real pants

Weekends: Coding in sweat pants

When you could work anywhere with an internet connection and yet your company frowns upon it. Only to later ask my boss a question, who sits 50 feet away, and have him tell me to use Screenhero...tell my again why I have to be in the office?!

When you open your site in I.E.

Boss uses @here in Slack channel, waits 5 seconds then tags me and another dev. Not sure he understands how @here works.

Do you ever feel like devs are the last people to know requirement changes, design changes, etc? And yet are the people who actually have to make the thing and ship it on time...

I first got into programming when I was really young. I recall programming a square at a museum in Ohio, and after that I was hooked. I learned Logo and was on the web dev team for my elementary school while attending there. I used Hotdog HTML editor 😂

A Pidgey landed on my devRant stress ball...

Got home and my wife, brother in-law and sister in-law were all playing Pokémon Go :)

When my code works the first time

Why I joined devRant

Finally got around to adding devRant stickers :)

My office desk

When design wants to change everything right before the deadline
