Volunteering The Team For A Shorter ETA

Description

A reaction meme shows a smug-looking cat standing calmly while many hands point knives toward it from every direction. The large white caption at the top says, "PROGRAMMER STATEMENT THAT WOULD PUT YOU IN THIS SITUATION?" and a small dev_meme watermark appears near the lower left. The sibling caption gives the dangerous statement: "Yes-yes, on behalf of the team I think we can move the ETA date earlier, we will do that task in no time!" The humor is that casually compressing a team estimate without consent is enough to make every engineer in the room turn on you instantly.

    Flutter is good and we don’t need native experience

    «I've refactored the codebase, no need to thank me»

    PHP is always better than Java. Debian is always better than CentOS.

      I use arch btw

      1. @klopotek 4y

        'Be stable like arch'

        1. @RiedleroD 4y

          arch is pretty stable in terms of reliability

    Carbon is going to be a great tool, solving all problems we face while coding in cpp

  7. @ygerlach 4y

    My Fav programing language is html

  8. @still_current 4y

    if a = “1”: a = 1 if a = “2”: a = 2

    1. @affirvega 4y

      ord(a) - ord('0')

      1. @RiedleroD 4y

        that's completely fine if you write it like this: ao=ord(a) if ord('0')<=ao<=ord('9'): return ao-ord('0') ofc this is python, so it's not really intuitive with all the ord(), but otherwise it'd be fine

  9. @klopotek 4y

    Untested well is not stability :)

  10. @etsymba 4y

    import pandas as np import numpy as pd

    1. @ahmubashshir 4y

      import sys as __loader__ import os as __builtins__

    OOP doesn't suck you're just lazy and dumb who can only work with functions and can't understand more complex stuff
