But where is the reverse engineer?

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 62 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You just have to look up to see them

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 days ago

He’s uploading to a mirror.

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

That's just Australian backend.

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I prefer forward deployed developers

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 days ago

That's a pentester

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Ah, found it! Just had to look back in time

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Check your mirror

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

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

This is an automated response, please do not reply.

Found the European

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Figma balls

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

React-ionaries.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Their frameworks pass for humor.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 7 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 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 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 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)

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 5 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Slopgen pictures of developers be like.

[–] thesdev@feddit.org 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Slopgen? This meme has been in circulation so long it can retire with full benefits.

[–] red_tomato@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

The joke is that slopgen images tend to have the monitors in the wrong way

[–] AbsolutelyClawless@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can't tell if joke about slop or if you think this is slopgen. What a timeline...

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 11 points 2 days ago

Clarification: this is a joke about how slop images tend to get monitor directions wrong but it never bothers slop enjoyers.

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

My favourite is when the monitor is facing East, but the user is facing North-west.

[–] Kojichan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh gosh. I legit nose snorted on this one.
