Is this what passes for humour amongst front-end devs? Explains a lot :)

The design and the UX of the joke is perfect. Making it actually funny is not my department.

QA says it was in the design spec, so back to Jira with you.

Check the figma wireframes, I clearly marked the fields where engineering was to insert the comedy

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sorry, did you not see the Teams notifications? Most of the engineers have been reassigned for the remainder of the project.

The product owner has says it’s on the screen so it’s front ends responsibility.

Let’s have an in person meeting on Friday about reallocating part of your personal training budget to get you on a course. Face-to-face would be better, don’t you think?

Hi, thanks for your message.

I'll be out of the office on vacation for the next two weeks. For any urgent matters, do not hesitate to delegate them to other departments. If you need to reach me while I am on vacation, I wish you all the best.

React-ionaries.

Their frameworks pass for humor.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 7 points 3 days ago

Don’t say that. It’ll give them an excuse to write yet another one.

I think is one of them fool stack engineers or something.

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's genuinely funny, I don't know what more you want. (I don't consider myself a frontend dev fwiw)

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can tell you what more: the keyboard is upside down in this picture

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Uhh but it's clearly not though?

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That was the joke, that for a backend it should also be backwards, I guess I'm no fun ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

Oh, I see, you're essentially saying that the picture should have had the keyboard upside down to complete the joke. Gotcha.

(FWIW I didn't downvote)
