Misses the noose for the junior who is hired to maintain the project.
That’s so much like my last job I’m 😦
I always love the last panel and imagine a cute lil' toot ❤️
Bob Ross and his happy little software.
Great, I'm the jerk that shows up a few years afterward, inspecting the errant arm and elephant trunk wondering what the actual F the original programmer was thinking.
Then I cut off the trunk and slap a dog nose on it because I hate VB.
WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?
Who let my conscience post online?
I hate VB
I started (professional) coding with VB3 and loved it ... entirely because I had been using Turbo Basic up to that point.
Does anyone still use any version of VB?
The answer to "does anyone" questions is almost always "yes."
I'm pretty sure if I asked "does anybody still use Turbo Basic?" the answer would be "no".
Depends what you mean by "use". I'd be shocked if there aren't any retro-computing hobbyist groups that still dabble in it.
Or if some airline out there isn’t absolutely dependent on it somewhere in the stack
VB .NET is actually not complete madness as it's just C# with another skin
The extra arm maintains legacy compatibility to not confuse the older users
People at the intersection of people skills and technical knowledge are so hard to come by. You have customers who can't articulate themselves talking to people who don't understand what's possible, that in turn transmit what the customer wants incorrectly to people who will take on anything, which is finally shoved into the lap of a developer who isn't an architect and has no domain knowledge. Of course it has to be finished yesterday and without bugs.
It's just surprising that anything works, but it's just like life "good enough ™ ".
I want an elecat, although I fear it's ability to open doors.
Normal cats can already do that
Should have put a dog in "what the customer wanted"
“Before going into beta” is HIGHLY optimistic lol
I'm on this very project right now.
It was probably the customer who wanted the arm at the back. "Look these legs are nice but wouldn't it be super functional if we just affixed an arm right here? It is not a major change just a simple addition so I am sure you can do it in just a couple days."
I'm sorry Badgey!
Can I teach you a lesson?
Holy fuck that made me laugh and push poop out at the same time.
