Lumberjacks vs. Web Developers

44 comments

I'm a web developer, and I don't know any peers in my field that look like that.

Like... That's just a hipster. They mostly live in Oregon. Nothing against that, that's just where they collect haha.

- Lumberjacks vs "People who once had an idea for an app".

- It's dated from 2016, maybe that's how it was seven years ago.

- I'm sorry that your hipsters don't develop software though. I would like to try to help change that, for the better.

- Oregon and Hollywood, although they dress differently in Hollywood.

I'm a lumberjack And I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
(He's a lumberjack And he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day) ....

Hey, maybe one day programmers will also sleep all night and work all day.

- I'm a software dev and I'm alright.
  I sleep all day and I work all night!

  I wear high heels
  
  Suspendies and a bra
  
  I wish I'd been a girly
  
  Just like my dear pa-pa

I never trust a man who wears suspenders and a belt. You can't trust a man who can't even trust his own pants.

- Cargo Wave just rolls over your trust issues with the immense cargo capacity of pants held by suspenders, while being able to use belt clips as well.

- What about suspenders and a bra?

Web Developers in 2023: “Dear ChatGPT, please center this div for me”

- or just unemployed. Lots of software developers are getting the boot right now.
  
  Like me!

  My first draft was “Web Developers in 2023: ‘My ChatGPT account got banned and now I might have to find another line of work’” Sorry to hear about you situation.

- That's a good source for a Swole Doge vs Cheems meme

- chatGPT is not even near perfect. It is just a trained model with solutions from internet forums and web pages. Its more like a search engine with fancy words. All the result it produces is trash. One can't even write a basic working code with chatGPT.
  
  Its an another form of algorithm that already exists and bit upgraded. Its more of a hype.

Seven years later the web developer has the same hair and beard but no pants

- I'm in this comment, and... I guess I'm okay with that.
  
  But for all any of you know I'm wearing dress slacks and shiny professional shoes, and not at all enjoying cozy PJ pants and sandals over socks.

What the fuck is that lumberjack measuring, that's a carpenter.

10
- lol - dude, they measure so many logs. Even with all the modern tech and fern gully esk death machines, it's still a battle to keep 10 different products within their very specific cut windows.

  Just an fyi, in English it's spelled "-esque", like "fern gully-esque". I looked it up just to make sure it wasn't a regional spelling (sometimes words vary in spelling and pronunciation across regions because English can't keep its shit together), and I learned something interesting! Some languages (like dutch and German) spell it the way you did!

  I love how we watched Fern Gully, saw the machine monster, and thought "Yeah, we need more stuff like that!"
  
  And now over two thirds of all wildlife is dead and gone since 1970.

  I worked with arborists for a while, they didn't measure shit

Old meme is very old.

- I'm guessing somewhere around 2016, but that's just my gut feeling.
  
  17
  
  I like it when they just tell us upfront how old they are like that.

Nah, I think there were web developers that looked like lumberjacks in 1996, too.
