Around 2 years ago, I got an email from a products team asking me for urgent help extending a program in time to make a sale.
I looked over the program and wrote back sonething along the lines of “this program was written almost a decade ago by an unsupervisered highschool intern. Why TF are we still using it?”.
Of course, I ended up helping them, because that highschool intern was me, and I ended up helping because no one else could figure out what highschool me was thinking.
having the same dev job you had 15 years ago? in this economy?
Been in mine 25 years. I could probably make more money elsewhere, but then I’d have to get a proper job rather than be the coding equivalent of an unmaintained fire extinguisher.
Are you guys remembering what you did more than 15 hours ago?
