Because developers are all logical and don’t EVER show anger at the systems they’re working on…. Hahahaha..
I mean I personally wouldn’t post about it, but I’d probably rant over lunch at my stupidity…
The best devs Ive worked with are all "barn cats". They yell, they challenge, they curse, they gesticulate, but they never offend.
(The f'n Workplace Sensitivity thing I just took outlawed so many behaviours that I know would exclude every superhero I know. What's happened to the industry?)
There's a difference between ranting to your coworkers at lunch about a stupid mistake and typing out a full rage essay.
Imagine the state of the sub if we all did that... Wait...
This "full on rage essay" is nine sentences, including the tl;dr and the sentence fragments. There's really not a big difference between telling your coworkers a story like this and posting about it on social media.
Did you read it before the edits? If it's written like that I think I'm entitled to exaggerate back slightly to make a point by calling it a rage essay.
Anywho I wouldn't choose to rant like this to my coworkers or online. A quick 🤦 in chat usually does the trick.
I read it a few hours ago. Was it substantially longer before?
Not substantially, it had a different title and was toned down.
I withdraw the word essay and apologise for any rudeness.
Have a good one.
No, He’s just trying to excuse his own emotional reaction.
Oh I’m not encouraging it, personally I just ignore the rants like that….
But at the same time, I can identify the emotion that drew the person to do it.
Ah yes here you are successfully ignoring it.
Might not be encouraging it but you seem to be defending it.
I ignored OP’s statements, not yours.
You’ll find I replied to you and not them, but I appreciate your condescension in the midst of being wrong.
Ranting about problem you had and being dramatic about it? No problem, I get it. I’m here to be supportive of your struggles. I’ll absolutely defend someone that is being dramatic over their own mistakes, we’re all our own biggest critics. Beyond that, I’ll ignore it and let them get through their own emotions.
Feeling the need to judge someone over it? Yeah, YTA here and you’ll find that coworkers don’t like you for it. It’s unpleasant, and unnecessary.
Do you enjoy it when people point out your faults and say “maybe the tech world isn’t for you?”
…… but you’re not going to see it that way at all. You’ll create some meaningless “but it’s different” argument because you feel the need to defend your actions rather than reflect on them.
Have a nice day, I’m done.
Wow ok chill.
The title of this post was "I hate programming, why did I choose this field".
I responded suggesting maybe OP isn't suited to SQL in particular. There are plenty of other languages to learn that they might pick up quicker if they are struggling with SELECTs.
Nice edit, this wasn’t the original message lol.
You were unnecessarily rude and you know it.
My original message was "Wow ok chill." then elaborated to clarify.
Where I'm from people are way ruder than anything I said here so perhaps I misjudged the room. However, calling it out seems to have had the desired response as since posting OP went and apologised for his anger.
I in turn apologise for my rudeness to them.
Yeah, being called out and unnecessarily put to task is unpleasant, isn’t it?
The irony is spectacular.
Have a nice day.
Completely put to task, yep really got me there. I will never see the world in the same way again.
Also, I don't think you understand what irony means.
You too.
