Aren’t IT people just janitors that tell you to turn it off and back on again?
I’ve been an actual janitor and a sysadmin… they’re not dissimilar. You clean up other people’s shit for a living.

It’s mind bending that there are actual humans on the planet, paid a shit tonne more than software developers, who not only believe the parody highlighted by @SwiftOnSecutity, but treat and share it as gospel, acting on it with nutjob metrics to “increase productivity” whilst salivating over the hyperbole around “AI” that is sweeping the globe, dreaming of a better world.
One without those pesky developers with their brains, thoughts and opinions.
But, what do I know, I’ve been in this profession for only 40 years…
Wait till they find out what software ‘architects’ really do.
A good software engineer is also an architect. You don’t need dedicated architects if you have good developers.
But on the other hand there are much more questionable and unnecessary jobs like product managers or managers of managers.
Wait until this guy finds out that Elon doesn’t actually build the cars
im convinced most developers spend more time working on making shit work, rather than actually writing code and bugfixing it.
edit: this was mostly a shitpost, and i was expecting some flack, but i got basically none. Can we have a real moment here. Are you guys doing ok? Who made you do this to yourselves?
ok, real talk over, we’re going back to suffering now.
In times past they got shit done, and now we see that what they’ve done is shit and we’re stuck maintaining it.
Yup. Thats just enterprise software for you. Something was made requiremnts changed, and then changed again and then ypu have duct tape on top of a duct tape with a duct tape holding those duct tapes and a touch of super glu here and there. Also ducttapes are microscopic in size but the sheer quantity of them is unimaginable.
this part is pretty much expected i think. But i’m starting to see it cropping up into the more meta aspects of programming now. For instance, apps being shipped with existing deprecated packages. Seems like it’s also creeping a little further into the more UI aspects of it as well.
Turns out the people in IT don’t actually make the computers either. Who’d have thought?
The IT people! The DEV team’s worst nemesis! They must be stopped before we are destroyed!
As an aside, I recall the early days when @SwiftOnSecurity was purposely ambiguous about the distinction between the artist Taylor Swift and their technology tweets. It was delicious to see confused responses.
At some point it changed. Not sure what triggered that. I have a vague memory of a stroke, but I might be misremembering.
The scary thing is some people actually believe this, and NIH syndrome is unfortunately all too real lol
As a programmer, I concur. I sit on my arse all day pushing keys , anybody can do that.
The biggest thing he got wrong is the assumption that it’s good programmers writing libraries.
You gotta push them in the right order
Just install a library to do that
Ok, the jig is up. We are exposed. Better pack our bags and get out while we can.
I agree with the last point tbh
At the bare minimum, if you aren’t capable of contributing to the library you use, then you don’t deserve to use it.
Where’d you buy this brand of bait?
