QUOTE(King Coin @ Apr 29 2014, 08:37 PM)  This is an interesting insight in my career choice. http://stilldrinking.org/programming-sucks /cries I am a network tech, and this excerpt just sings to me: QUOTE Remember that stuff about crazy people and bad code? The internet is that except it's literally a billion times worse. Websites that are glorified shopping carts with maybe three dynamic pages are maintained by teams of people around the clock, because the truth is everything is breaking all the time, everywhere, for everyone. Right now someone who works for Facebook is getting tens of thousands of error messages and frantically trying to find the problem before the whole charade collapses. There's a team at a Google office that hasn't slept in three days. Somewhere there's a database programmer surrounded by empty Mountain Dew bottles whose husband thinks she's dead. And if these people stop, the world burns. Most people don't even know what sysadmins do, but trust me, if they all took a lunch break at the same time they wouldn't make it to the deli before you ran out of bullets protecting your canned goods from roving bands of mutants. That is so my job. -------------------- |

It's hilariously bad. The comparison to building a bridge at the beginning is spot on. The only reason coders get away with working like that is when the bridge falls down they can slap some more supports on it and have it back up relatively quickly.

No, there are sufficient failed bridges that the path across the river is now filled in with their rubble, and we just paved over the top.

I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.” |
