Content What's your secret that could literally ruin your life if it came out? I'm a Senior Software Engineer working for groundbreaking new super secretive projects for one of the companies in the top 10 of the Fortune 500. And 1 actually don't have the faintest clue what I'm doing. I Google almost everything and string things together in a sorta sensible way, and people are happy as can be for some reason. By now I'm pretty sure I'm in a social experiment, or maybe l'm the village idiot they have to entertain so that I don't go outside and break things that matter. They call it "imposter syndrome" but like, really, guys. I really don't know what the hell I'm doing. It's just Google answering my endless stream of questions. I only successfully passed the job interview because they gave me plenty of time (without me doing it live) to work on their job-interview-assignment. My six-figure salary feels so unjust. I often see people working at a fast food joint who seem smarter than I am. And I could set fire to a kettle boiling water; they're at least flipping burgers, which I can't do without causing gender-reveal-esque disasters.

BEHOLD! The eternal tragedy of every developer's existence! During daylight hours, my brain functions like a dusty old Pentium processor from the 90s—barely capable of adding two numbers without smoke pouring out of my ears. But the SECOND the clock strikes midnight? BOOM! Suddenly I'm rocking a Core i7 at 4.20GHz, solving problems that would make Einstein weep with joy! Why, WHY must my cognitive superpowers activate precisely when I should be unconscious?! The universe is CLEARLY plotting against my sleep schedule and sanity. Thanks for NOTHING, circadian rhythm!

Content RandyWatson 2y 1 Award You're just using the wrong strategy. When I was a new developer someone taught me the secret. You can't just post the question you want the answer to. That gets you nowhere. Instead, post the code you want fixed with some stupid question. Brag about how awesome your code is and even question why dumb developers don't use the techniques you are employing. The more condescending the better. The way you should phrase your question must incorporate blaming other developers for your problem like, "How do I make my awesome code work with this idiot's shitty excuse for an API that I'm required to use because my boss is a dumb ass Then post your code. Your code will be tuned to perfection by angry devs everywhere. They will explain every piece of it to you likely in the most easy to understand (think condescending) way they can because you're an idiot noob who thinks their code is actually good. This will not be a nice explanation, but will be super clear to make sure you understand what an idiot you are. Plus, you will get every finely tuned code snippet possible to fix your solution. You just have to ignore all the mean shit the devs say to take you down a peg. Ask an honest question as a new developer, expect one of two things to happen: crickets or an insult about how you didn't bother to search for the answer. Reply 1.4K
