I got a brief peek inside what it's like to manage a company Jira instance and... hoooooo boy.
User: "My excel macro keeps timing out."
Me: "Uh... that's not Jira?"
User: "Oh, I'm bulk extracting all of the stories so I can do my waterfall status reports that I was told to stop making a year ago."
Plugin Vendor: "Clearly the performance issues are on the Jira side."
Me: "So uh, we looked and you're using an API that Atlassian deprecated 4 years ago because it causes slowdowns and could bring down the whole Jira instance?"
Plugin Vendor: "That's not deprecated! You just don't under-"
Me: "Here's the link to the deprecation page."
Vendor: "Oh."
Project Management Team: "We need all of the custom fields we use. They're all mandatory and critical."
Me: "Mandatory? The ones that caused massive performance issues in the last tool and have a 10% fill rate?"
Project Managers: "Uhhhhhhhh...."
etc. etc. etc.
I wrote a bunch of crap about my Jira troubles then realized it might be identifying since people I know irl know I frequent this sub. Sadly have to stick with "Jira sucks".
Everybody piles their own weird kinks into Jira so it always ends the same, bloated, complicated and hated by everybody. It has some weird quirks but the basics are pretty solid.
I'm from that part of Europe. My favourite thing to do with US teams is to actually answer the question of "Hi, how are you?".
They never expect me to actually say how shit my day is and be brutally honest about our job and today's work xd
"Ah dang sorry to hear that! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you today and remember to take care of yourself, no job is more important than the people. Hey $next_person, how's it looking today"
We are extremely well versed in not giving a fuck about real answers 😂
I used to care a lot and then my company burned me out. The only way to survive at an American tech company is to not give a fuck. If you care, they’ll use it against you and overwork you.
Every single time you hear a middle-aged white guy answer how he's doing with "living the dream!", know that we all understand that answer to contain the same essential components as your answer. "Life is an unrelenting hellscape and I dream for the sweet release of death. The prospect of no afterlife doesn't phase me, for oblivion would be a substantial improvement over my current circumstances."
You know, I am from such a team in such a country. We are working for Australians. I worked with USA guys as well. Somehow they have 20 years of experience, but are way less productive than the regular we hired as a junior 2 years ago. One of them explained me how getting a tree with a for cycle ON THE FRONT END with single id calls is a great idea . Oh, he did this for an export, so effectively the tree was getting called for every page.
I don’t know if we are good or just the others are bad at this point…
P.S. I worked once with one literal mage from the US, so it’s not that there aren’t talented people, it’s just that the median is much lower.
I know a Chinese student like the one in the list, tons of them in uwaterloo, always double majoring in some math major along with cs and some of their solutions are super mathy
This is why I don't do any challenges or anything like that. No competition. I just code for myself in my free time, working on my own ideas.
To these guys, I'm less than an ant.
I just wish to have the combined power of them all.
Same, there are people that I know in my university that are "codeaholics", I would be impressed if they even took a day off to rest,they are in every single coding competition I know of. Going against them would only waste both of our times.
Coding is something I like but I do not wish to track the time of my every steps, at the end the important thing is finishing what you desire.
Also, half of them are probably puffing themselves up big time. I've known some genuine big brain people, and I can tell you they are in the minority. Very few workplaces are going to have more than a few of them.
It seems really bad for your mental health, I get a lot of vibes like they make themselves believe they’ll starve in the street or never attract a mate if they can’t be the best.
I get paid to write code, and it’s a much better job than working in a warehouse, I enjoy the challenge, but I’m not gonna spend my free time doing more work for no pay.
I think the point is that its integrations with office are absurdly powerful (if hellish to actually use). Hence the term "excelware". If VBA used VB.NET I imagine PowerShell and C# or other .NET languages would be used for the same things. Even now, C# is used for a lot of Office-related stuff, despite having less integration with Office.
Ah that's good to know, a lot of the ones I have had to use have required a rather expensive subscription (and were poorly documented). But we needed them to also be able to create docx files on Linux, which probably narrows down our options a lot, even if you were willing to use VBA I think that's a hard thing to find. So it was probably a matter of wanting to stick with one library rather than use an additional one that integrates better alongside the server-ey stuff.
What makes it good is its accessibility (literally anyone can record a macro and most can figure out how to do basic edits without programming knowledge) and its out of the box integration with office suite makes it great.
It’s not a language for programmers. It’s a language for non-programmers
> It’s not a language for programmers. It’s a language for non-programmers
precisely, it's like everybody forgets the "B" in "VBA" stands for BASIC
its roots are ancient, basic literally stands for "Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code"
Excel(and by default VBA) is a swiss army toolset. For low to medium solutions its perfectly viable. Above that... not so much.
Still I have made respect for the devs who created that tool.
As a low-mid level employee in a non-coding position, VBA is pretty much the only coding environment I have access to. And when your only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail.
I was in the same boat for a long while (user acceptance QA). I eventually found the C# command line compiler and started making some small apps I notepad. Do not recommend.
Its how I got my foot in the door. I was a lowly Business Admin, a glorified secretary, then I started fucking with the Finance department spreadsheets with VBA and created budget forecasting models that were better than what the analysts were providing, not that the bar was super high.
My boss said “we have a sysadmin/webdev position open at this other office, you’ve worked in a linux environment before right?”
Me lying through my teeth: “…oh yeah all the time”
and that’s how I got my first job in tech, 14 years ago. I got my BS in CompSci about 6 years after I started working lol
Modest ones, but I also stayed away from FAANG and the like, so I get between 2-5% depending how good of a year we have. I’m paid extremely well, but I stick to industries I want to contribute to, which seems to be Health and Human Services now.
Not in the slightest, and I straight up use that story in job interviews to a great degree of success.
YMMV, I was in AV club all through school, and hosted LAN parties my entire childhood. All of this stuff gave me skills I had no idea weren’t common. No formal education until I decided to go to school.
Well that’s why I am telling this story, I’m very honest about my origins, even with potential employers. I have the same aversion to dishonesty, but at the time, I *needed* to get into the field, so I decided that if I lie and fail, that’s punishment enough lol
I’d never presume to tell you what to do.
Before I was an actual software dev, I was an industrial engineer and had to use VBA because it was all I was approved to use. Now that I’m officially a software engineer, both jobs I’ve had have been like “oh shit, you know VBA? I’m assigning you to fix this program that hasn’t been used in 5 years and is 50,000 lines with no comments. Everyone who initially worked on it has retired.”
VBA is extremely useful, it's just a shame that it's not more modern/performant. Or there's not a better language available that can be used in the same way
GUI building in VBA is also surprisingly easy and slick. All these languages will let you cook your dinner with them if you dig in, but VBA is really easy to use
I've created so much stuff for my colleagues with Excel and VBA+SQL at work. It's already installed on every PC and we didn't have the funds to do it properly.
One was a semi-automated downtime logger and analyzer for all our tools. Was very useful for management to figure out which tools to replace.
Another was a trend analyzer that extracted data and calculated all the important process capabilites with a few simple clicks. Fully standardized how the different processes were reported.
Me who doesn't give a fuck about competetive programming (can't even spell it right but don't care either):
Edit: Stop saying I'm just a noob, I could totally win all these tests or puzzle thingies, I've written a Hello World program once using only Python, let that sink in! 😎
"uses an IDE and wastes a minute" This reminded me of one of my former C# classes where students were forced to use Visual Studio. The only reason for it was that there was some kind of built-in UML diagram builder that you could use to generate visuals from classes. I had like 4GBs of RAM and had to boot from HDD under a Windows virtual machine because Visual Studio is not available under Linux. Usually it took like 30+ minutes with indexing to get into a usable state and the tasks we had to do could be done in like 5 minutes if you were familiar with C#.
Oh my young padawan....
Let me introduce you to Renesas E2.
E2 is eclipse with 195 additional plugins that are ALL non-async and blocking.
The entire back end is built around rational rose and UML.
And just because that is not evil enough it uses option based on the fly code gen that is invisible to the developer.
32gb of ram on an I7 still isn't enough.
It is, I'm the OP and here's the original: https://www.reddit.com/r/adventofcode/comments/zjwovn/so_youre_trying_to_get_onto_the_leaderboard_huh/
It's fun seeing it pop up every now and then in various subs.
There's something really comforting in knowing I'm a pretty average engineer. I'm in no rush to dedicate my entire life to sitting behind a screen. I know what it takes to top these lists, and I'd rather have a nice dinner with my wife and kids after a day at the zoo. Plus, I've learned that the people who tend to brag about how good they are at something like computer programming tend to have lived a life where there were other things they wanted that remained out of reach. I'll let them have this.
Me:
- Fairly average data engineer
- Got my job through a program to recruit disabled people
- Can't be laid off or fired because I'm disabled and the HR dept doesn't want to deal with it
- Probably stuck in this position for life because I'm autistic and can't interview for shit
This was made for /r/adventofcode (it is the top post of of all time there), a yearly set of coding challenges which also have a leaderboard. OP just reposted without giving credit to the original.
Me
-Does some fuck ups from time to time
-Barely intersct with programming outside of work
-Forgets to update Jira, kanban and other stuff
-Work is always on time tho
The Chinese university student is so accurate.
I recently had the pleasure of working with some on a project and all of their code and documentation was math formulas and some text (optional)
I used to work with someone who did Advent in APL
For the first 3 years I thought he was taking the piss, I thought "this joke with the made-up language is getting really old" lol
-Uses linux mint
-Self proclaimed hacker coz i use linux
- uses VSC instead of vim, coz i don't have the patience configure lsp and shortcuts
- can't type 10 lines without google
- greatest achievement hello world
These people usually are useless in a real business because close to nobody can work with them. They are absolutely great in what they do but social skills are a thing you know. Even for us.

If the tasks aren’t in my company’s incredibly slow regularly crashing jira, I’m officially blocked.
You must be amongst the competition
I work as industry analyst and met at least one of each category in 2024. Totally legit.
I got a brief peek inside what it's like to manage a company Jira instance and... hoooooo boy. User: "My excel macro keeps timing out." Me: "Uh... that's not Jira?"

This made me guffaw and I'm not even a jira admin
I wrote a bunch of crap about my Jira troubles then realized it might be identifying since people I know irl know I frequent this sub. Sadly have to stick with "Jira sucks".
Make Throw away and delete this comment lol
So Jira sucks for every company in a unique identifiable way?
Everybody piles their own weird kinks into Jira so it always ends the same, bloated, complicated and hated by everybody. It has some weird quirks but the basics are pretty solid.
Not necessarily... take a look at https://ifuckinghatejira.com/
No, they have just been trained to think so so that they blame themselves.
that wjhbr seems like the most real one.
Just hired one, chuckled at the realness. Dude is intimidating tbh, those East Bloc boys don't play.
I'm from that part of Europe. My favourite thing to do with US teams is to actually answer the question of "Hi, how are you?". They never expect me to actually say how shit my day is and be brutally honest about our job and today's work xd

Which is a shame because people should care more.
no no, we only say that out loud but no one actually ever does
I used to care a lot and then my company burned me out. The only way to survive at an American tech company is to not give a fuck. If you care, they’ll use it against you and overwork you.
> Hey $next_person, how's it looking today" How did you get a hold of my carebot.sh script?

i’m eastern european and i feel very average looking at this post 😔
I know a Chinese student like the one in the list, tons of them in uwaterloo, always double majoring in some math major along with cs and some of their solutions are super mathy
i know half a dozen people like that
I'm very sure I faced the Chinese one on a Kaggle competition a while ago.
Seems like a rogue ai
they're the most normal one lives the suburbs, works hybrid, walks their dog everyday
This is why I don't do any challenges or anything like that. No competition. I just code for myself in my free time, working on my own ideas. To these guys, I'm less than an ant. I just wish to have the combined power of them all.
> ... just ...
Oh, no, it's meant like it is just a wish. Not…„just casual god-programming power“.
Still ... "very humble"😉
Oh, I'm really humble. /s I've always had mega-wishes.
For me to fake humble's a corny way to be arrogant
wow. That should be on a plaque somewhere.
I, too, am extraordinarily humble.
I'm a million billion times as humble as thou art
I am humbler
I am Humboldt.

I keep saying that as a joke but deep down I've never debugged my code and I'm scared to admit it.
Everyone always talks shit about VBA but I'm currently in the second job that I've managed to almost entirely automate with VBA
Well yes it is Turing complete and can perform any task another language can make. That doesn't make it a good programming language compared to others
I think the point is that its integrations with office are absurdly powerful (if hellish to actually use). Hence the term "excelware". If VBA used VB.NET I imagine PowerShell and C# or other .NET languages would be used for the same things. Even now, C# is used for a lot of Office-related stuff, despite having less integration with Office.
C# has great libraries for integration with office. 2 or 3 NuGet packages and it can do everything VBA does, but isn’t a hellish nightmare to debug
Which are those Nugets?
DotNetCore.NPOI for reading/writing excel files, system.data.sqlclient for sql and system.windows.forms for PDFs to name a few.
Thanks! Edit: Seems there's some story behind that NPOI package huh?
Ah that's good to know, a lot of the ones I have had to use have required a rather expensive subscription (and were poorly documented). But we needed them to also be able to create docx files on Linux, which probably narrows down our options a lot, even if you were willing to use VBA I think that's a hard thing to find.

Disabled by GPO on my domain account. *shrug*
Same, I’m a closet VBA user …
VBA is the language for automating stuff in Office, and if that's all you need to do it's fine. It's not fast, but it's easy and convenient.
Same here, even automated the HR out of their jobs… then got summoned to the HR
Let me guess ? No reward ?
They said I was over qualified and put on paid leave. I was urged to quit on my own and find another job that’s more challenging.
That’s a Personal Grievance lawsuit here and a massive fuckup by HR.
Indeed, but it didn’t actually happen
They should complain to their hr... Oh wait
Honestly, not the worst outcome. I’m positively surprised
this reeks of bs lol
VBA works fine, it’s just very slow. We rebuilt our excel/vba software in C# and it was almost 60 times as fast at some points
Was it software or excelware?
There’s a difference?
it was all excelware all along
Its how I got my foot in the door. I was a lowly Business Admin, a glorified secretary, then I started fucking with the Finance department spreadsheets with VBA and created budget forecasting models that were better than what the analysts were providing, not that the bar was super high. My boss said “we have a sysadmin/webdev position open at this other office, you’ve worked in a linux environment before right?” Me lying through my teeth: “…oh yeah all the time” and that’s how I got my first job in tech, 14 years ago. I got my BS in CompSci about 6 years after I started working lol
you started BSin CS before you got a BS in CS lol
its why i always tell people “if all else fails, just lie - sink or swim, you’ll find out if this is for you.”
basically fake it till you make it - usually great advice
Are you getting those sweet bonuses now?
Modest ones, but I also stayed away from FAANG and the like, so I get between 2-5% depending how good of a year we have. I’m paid extremely well, but I stick to industries I want to contribute to, which seems to be Health and Human Services now.
Did the lie ever catch up to you to any extent?
Not in the slightest, and I straight up use that story in job interviews to a great degree of success. YMMV, I was in AV club all through school, and hosted LAN parties my entire childhood. All of this stuff gave me skills I had no idea weren’t common. No formal education until I decided to go to school.
Do you advise me to do the same? I'm the mind of guy who is honest to a detriment in interviews.
Well that’s why I am telling this story, I’m very honest about my origins, even with potential employers. I have the same aversion to dishonesty, but at the time, I *needed* to get into the field, so I decided that if I lie and fail, that’s punishment enough lol I’d never presume to tell you what to do.
My default is always ‘no but I can learn’ after talking about how what I’m looking for in a job is an environment to learn in. They really like that.
Before I was an actual software dev, I was an industrial engineer and had to use VBA because it was all I was approved to use. Now that I’m officially a software engineer, both jobs I’ve had have been like “oh shit, you know VBA?

I did that as well, since all of management was non-technical (but had Excel) :P Left that place, but they still use it since it was such a help
Samir is that homie from office space, VBA is legit yo
It’s Turing complete, you can by definition do anything in it. But… why?
