Long term cost of street shitter code is high. So high in fact it can easily kill a software startup

Sad. What a virtue signaling homo

OH lawd. My sides

This is the kind of stuff you find when you open the hood of a zen cart site. I wouldn't normally use it but I have some work that requires de-spaghettifying a few zc templates to make them mobile-friendly... so google can be sure that people can have a wonderful shopping experience on their phone! This is why i'm procrastinating and posting this garbage here instead of actually fixing it. Have a nice day.

Good analogy. You might assume that IT managers would grasp this logic, but sadly many of them don't, or pretend not to. Many times in my experience it's the latter- they use psychological gaslighting techniques (such as pretending not to understand why every task can't simultaneously be top priority) in an attempt to light a fire under your ass and get you to agree to unreasonable deadlines. Some of them are genuinely insane or incompetent though. Qualified managers and project leads are a rarity.

Had to submit this one because I've spent an inordinate amount of time over the years trying to explain to IT managers that multi-tasking is not all its cracked up to be. Of course, in software development and bioinformatics in particular, sometimes there are tasks that involve clicking a button and waiting a few hours, or even days. During this downtime it makes perfect sense to switch workspaces do something else, then come back when your job is finished running. However the notion that one can actually work on multiple programming projects simultaneously is absurd. I had a lead dev in a bioinfo company who would constantly report in the SCRUM (agile is garbage on its own level, dont get me started on that mess) that he was doing this and that task "at the same time." I always got a chuckle out of that... as if he was typing on two keyboards at once. Human brains simply do not work that way. We can't code on two projects at the same time any more than you can read two books at once... no matter how smart lead dev wants to appear, it's just not gona happen.

Hey what a coincidence, I just bid on a job for a gambling web site and found out (big surprise) that the outcome of the game is entirely rigged... but only if the user decides to play for real money. Payment will be in bitcoin. hangs head in shame
