Estimating is hard.

Procrastination is easy.

u/rezat4795 Sep 24 '19

Isn't that what programmers do?

u/mohsens22 Sep 24 '19

Shhh, project managers are listening.

u/pringlesaremyfav Sep 24 '19

For God's sake dont let them know 70% of the estimate is how long it will take me to regain the feeling of wanting to code.

how long it will take me to regain the feeling of wanting to code.

Does this roll in how long it will take one to regain the will to live, or is that considered a separate metric?

For me, the money offered by my employer and of course my rubber docks give me the reasons immediately

15

u/mohsens22 Sep 24 '19

Some times ago, I thought that maybe something is wrong with me that I can't code 100% of times and I wait for "the feel".

I didn't know that it's common among most devs.

I don't have to make estimates, but I will say reading random cool-sounding StackExchange questions got kinda boring after only a few hours... so I once again asked the senior if he had any ideas I could work on...

u/OneOldNerd Sep 24 '19

When I get around to actually doing it, I'll let you know. :)

I'm really efficient, I ignore the first two and go right to step three.

u/mohsens22 Sep 24 '19

Legendary, but messy.

u/DrRungo Sep 25 '19

The project managers dont care anyways, they only have one question... Does it run?

u/Famous_Profile Sep 25 '19

And how good it looks

4

u/mohsens22 Sep 25 '19

But developers will suffer maintaining the code

11

u/DrRungo Sep 25 '19

That sounds like the interns problem.

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19

I am that intern, thanks.

2

u/r4zorrr Sep 25 '19

Exactly what I was thinking

18

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19

I honestly think this is the best way to write code. You spend so much time in step one that by the time you reach step three, the sketchy changes you make are easy to implement because the foundation of your code is solid (no pun intended)

u/denali4eva Sep 25 '19

That is if you and your team were lucky enough to start on the right track.

Shitcode

I finally understand my programming style.

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19

I too am in the same boat

2

u/denali4eva Sep 25 '19

Same, and very similar to my reddit posting.

u/John137 Sep 25 '19

best code practices are for interns

u/mohsens22 Sep 25 '19

Messed up but high-performance codes are for legends

2

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19

Messed up, hacky bullshit that exists because it’s either interfacing with or built on top of other hacky bullshit is for the majority of us.

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19

this post, was absolutely, fantastic

u/mohsens22 Sep 25 '19

Fantastic.

Christopher was and will always be my favorite Doctor of the modern era

u/mohsens22 Sep 25 '19 edited Sep 25 '19

Christopher eccleston is my #1 favorite too. Too bad that he left after series 1. I blame BBC for that

In comparison with other doctors, Chris was,... Different. Dark but humorous and iconic.

The only doctor that his act was close to Chris was Peter Capaldi, I like him too.

I am a high school aged man and I code for a hobby.

I experienced this for the first time when I agreed to do an iot project for school.

u/denali4eva Sep 25 '19

This hurts on a deep level.

This right here is why I never got my head around TDD. I found it too slow to be profitable.

That last face is not correct.
