poor tree, i hope it is doing well...

Boss gets paid a dollar, I get paid a dime, that's why I [printscreen and walk to the printer instead of copy/pasting code] on company time.

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

This is proper procedure when you're paid by the hour.

I thought the person in the picture was reading code on a tablet device, and was wondering what is wrong with the picture. :D

Why is the code printed in dark mode!?!

[-] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Perhaps it's an effort to save companies that sell printer cartridges

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Maybe they work for HP, it's their way to give back.

The answer is simple: Marketing people doing marketing things

[-] waldyrious@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

And with a file browser sidebar 🤦

I thought tablet, then I thought the post was about the way they were bending the tablet's screen with their thumb, then I finally realised it was paper. Holding a printout of a screen shot just didn't enter my mind.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 76 points 1 year ago

You gotta love stock photos. My favourite is the one where the code is projected across the room and the developer's face.

That's how you know you're about to enter the matrix

[-] qisope@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago

and always make sure to print your code in dark mode, don't want anyone who sees it to think you're weird

[-] bestnerd@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago

Image of Musk reading code he asked to be printed

This remind me of the "Print your most salient lines of code and bring to me"

Twitter employee?

Damn, he is like ~~Elon Musk~~ my university lecturer who asks us to hand in homework with code printed out

[-] kale@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Not sure why you crossed that out. Didn't musk ask for paper copies of code?

Me searching for a graphic design job...

"1. Knowledge and fluency of front end and backend we design is a must

  1. You will be in charge of maintaining our website.
  2. You will cream social media posts and create videos as needed by the sales team)
  3. Complete understanding of PowerPoint. Create sales PowerPoints daily of whatever the sales team needs. Including all copy."
[-] Rootiest@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Any job listing that asks you to "cream social media posts" is a red flag

this is why I quit graphic design. I was a freelancer for 14 years and finally got sick of it. Not only that, the pay is shit now too. Back in 2007 I got a job offer for $75/hr... granted that was in NYC... but now, you'll be lucky if you find anything for $30/hr, NYC or not.

[-] Ultra980@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Average front end dev

[-] mdhughes@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

Back in the day, even in this century, printing out code in good text formatting on plain paper's not a bad way to work with some problems; you can spread out many pages on a table instead of one screenful at a time, make planned edits in paper or pen, then do them. It doesn't suit half-assed "coding" by hitting code completion and "next" in a wizard, but some of us still remember how to program.

But then marketing hears about this and this meme is the best they can come up with.

I suspect it's like Nigerian scammers being blatant about how dumb their scam is, to weed out the smart targets. "simplilearn" is obviously not for people who read manuals, you know?

[-] asphaltkooky@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

When you like computer science but also hate trees.

[-] Shit@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

Wait is this not how everyone reviews code?

[-] variants@possumpat.io 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gotta write it up on a whiteboard so it's easier to edit

[-] Shit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the tip! I'll suggest this up with my scrum master in our next half day daily meeting.

[-] UnPassive@social.fossware.space 14 points 1 year ago

I'm confused... how do all of you handle your merge conflicts???

[-] BlueKey@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

with scissors and glue

[-] xuxebiko@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

somewhere some printer-ink making corporate is happy with that pic.

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

And I thought I abused print statements

[-] habanhero@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Simple, she works at Twitter. Just preparing for a code review with Elon.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Sir, by my calculations we can save millions by having developers switching to a light theme before printing their code for review.

[-] nnrx@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

yeah we're printing all TPS reports in dark mode before they go out.

...did you see the memo about this?

Bloody hell, why did the designer print the new UI mockup?

[-] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

The 1 trick Big Screen doesn't want you to know. Instead of buying multiple monitors, just print out the window before minimizing it.

[-] rauls4@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

How else are you going to do code review?

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Wait, I am the only one who does PR reviews on paper as God intended?
