The Leap Year Betrayal

Content Spending 4 hours fixing a bug and realizing that the code you've been compiling was not the code you've been fixing

Content HaHa says: July 8, 2022 at 3:56 pm Javascript? Just nuke it from orbit. It has one purpose: When applying for a SE job ask 'What server side Javascript do you run?' If the answer isn't something along the lines of 'None, are you insane?', run away. Terminate the interview right there and leave. You don't want to work for those twits. Javascript could compile to the tightest machine code on earth and it's ecosystem would still suck big wet donkey balls. It's where all the worst coders have spent the last 20 years on the most monumental steaming pile, ever. Javascript outside the browser is a tell, like someone who drives a French car. No fixing that level of stupid. Wish them 'Better luck next reincarnation' and never look back. Reply Report comment

The beautiful chaos of a company with zero oversight! A senior dev asks a junior if they have any idea what they just deployed to production, and the junior responds with a cheerful "No." The senior's silent, increasingly concerned face in the last two panels says everything. This is basically the software equivalent of letting a toddler play with matches near a gas station. No code reviews, no deployment protocols, just vibes and prayers keeping the servers running. The company probably finds out about bugs when customers call screaming.

When your coworker creates a new day of the week called "Monwednesday" between Tuesday and Wednesday. Because clearly, the regular week wasn't chaotic enough! That's the kind of time-bending sorcery that happens when you code at 3 AM fueled by nothing but energy drinks and deadline panic. The commit was 9 months ago, so it's probably in production now, silently breaking calendar apps worldwide. And they say programmers can't change the fabric of spacetime!
