Opening a laptop in a cinema should carry the death penalty

That font doesn't do anyone any favors.

Pretty sure that’s op’s handwriting not a font lol

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it is, at least he's consistent and kept his lines straight.

There are differences between duplicate letters; it's definitely handwriting.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

They make fonts like that, though.

You'll see a movie instead of working. How does that make sense in a story around work? Also that font is super difficult to read.

I struggled through the font and weird format but never found a joke. It feels like the point is that sometimes developers just want to write code, whether it's necessary or not. Perhaps OP (who seems to be the author) will weigh in

Junior dev saw it as "we can do it ourselves" until they were reminded that time is limited and we have to choose what we do with it. Then they almost seemed to have a transformation/realization in that moment, but the unexpected twist was that they were still trying to take both paths, instead of picking one, which we all know means they won't get the best of either. Or maybe they're just coyly accepting the other path while trying to keep up the original appearance.

It's a startup so they're always on and always off the clock

Off the shelf software always promises to do what you want it to... But we've always found it fails to deliver and end up having to code a solution around it anyhow.

That’s how you know someone’s been hard at work

They're clearly humanoid beings which have evolved plastic exoskeletons.

Damn 321 comics and zero improvement in art and zero joke in the writing department.

Like the saying goes practice doesn’t make perfect.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright you don't like the comic, that's fine, but why so rude?

[–] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why lie?

Its obvious the artist has put in little to no effort in challenging their abilities and thus has made no progress in their skills over years of doing the exact same thing.

[–] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe because they simply enjoy what they're doing and want to share it?

[–] kralk@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm in the public sector and we legit just buy everything off the shelf, regardless of how suitable it is
