The IT people! The DEV team’s worst nemesis! They must be stopped before we are destroyed!

I used to joke with my niece that my programming job was just me staring at screens and meetings all day. She didn’t believe me until she got to shadow me one day and got super bored.

Turns out the people in IT don’t actually make the computers either. Who’d have thought?

wait, you guys don’t use ones and zeroes?

Wait until this guy finds out that Elon doesn’t actually build the cars

Wait till they find out what software ‘architects’ really do.

It’s mind bending that there are actual humans on the planet, paid a shit tonne more than software developers, who not only believe the parody highlighted by @SwiftOnSecutity, but treat and share it as gospel, acting on it with nutjob metrics to “increase productivity” whilst salivating over the hyperbole around “AI” that is sweeping the globe, dreaming of a better world.

One without those pesky developers with their brains, thoughts and opinions.

But, what do I know, I’ve been in this profession for only 40 years…

Aren’t IT people just janitors that tell you to turn it off and back on again?

im convinced most developers spend more time working on making shit work, rather than actually writing code and bugfixing it.

edit: this was mostly a shitpost, and i was expecting some flack, but i got basically none. Can we have a real moment here. Are you guys doing ok? Who made you do this to yourselves?

ok, real talk over, we’re going back to suffering now.
