Do we really want to associate with guys who do SQL for a living?

1  2019-12-04 by HardIsLife

Like what would they talk about at lunch? How to do optimal JOINs? 😴😴

From my past experiences, database admins are also pretty short and bald.

It’s ok to say no.

My god I just checked your post history. There is no shaming you. This is literally your life. Just imagine how much you could accomplish if you weren’t addicted to Reddit. You’re making a difference, though!

I’ll have you know I’m average height and have hair, this is discrimination. Also databasecels are above web-developers on the programming totem pole. Know your place. 😤

What about them beer belly tho? 🤔🤭

I am more interested in his tattoo though

jscels thinking they're above the plumbers smh

Except plumbing is a skill that is massively impactful for humanity, and will never be outdated 🙄

U kid, but AI is going to take over these simple ass coding jobs in no time. Plumbers will always be needed and impactful. The trades are important and respectful jobs.

I was implying SQL work is similar to plumbing in that it is vital for things to work. Muh AI has been the meme for years, yawn.

💅🏻💅🏻

This is why I hate women

Anyhows I just got a new job as a database developer and feel personally attacked. Also I have no idea what I’m doing, could you teach me?

imagine taking any notice of a front end "developer"'s opinions

Well we are forced to associate with you so it can only get better

Your job is literally a squarespace layout, sit down sweaty 💅🏻

Anyone can do SQL but not everyone has the A E S T H E T I C S to do pretty layouts and the quirks to make it work on IE 💅🏻

Take note front-end developers: This bot has made you obsolete.

Anyone can do SQL

Can they do it well though? It always seemed so ass-backwards from the way that the human mind works that I don't think I'd ever be good at it.

Imagine thinking that you're so quirky and special and better at art than all the other foids. 🙄 Sorry bb but you're just as interchangeable as the rest.

Wow! Wow! I can’t believe cis straight while male boomers still telling women off in almost 2020.

You are in almost 2020 and you think IE is still a thing. We should never have let foids into Tech Industry.

I am wiling to donate nice webcam this Xmas, if you promise to do exclusive show with those fun bags. Like I said, options are open.

Umm sweaty, clients always ask to support IE. It’s in the contract. Just because you backend and database people are too socially inept to have discussions with clients doesn’t mean frontend is like that 💅🏻

Umm sweaty, clients always ask to support IE

(For real now) I do know that. But I always ensure that we charge extra for IE support. In last 5-6 years only one client insisted.

So just curious what versions of IE did your clients request? Do you have any idea if it's billed separately?

A few years back, clients were still requesting until like IE8. Painful!!

Now, it’s IE11 and Edge. Not bad because they are very similar.

Most of the time, we need to support because we do government related things and they only use IE 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t think it’s charged separately. Not very sure.

Ah! I see you work for big daddy.

I do PM and usually sit through design meetings. I had a chance to work with designer/Frontend engineer team; they ensure none of the "tricky" designs will be approved by the client. Fun guys!

I only work for big brands, sweaty 💅🏻

I don’t mind tricky designs. I like the challenge but give me enough time.

That's the difference between a PM, who wants go just get the work done and have his beer and a foid codercel who wants time as well as a challenge. Jesus!

I love PMs!! All my close work friends are PMs 🤗

Alright. Enjoy!

Thank god it was SQL that won query language wars. Did you know that Prolog was a competitor during those times? Try to think in Prolog. I double dare you do it.

I bought you this good news. You can already feel quality of your live has improved. Thank me now.

Prolog and SQL were trying to do the same thing? Some old boomer I know used both of them but I don't recall him ever mentioning them as competing against each other. Is this something I have to bring up at Christmas?

O .. O .. slowdown you querycel. Those were the days when people didn't yet figure out is data is to be gendered logical or relational. Now it feels silly, I know. The former had Prolog to do queries and the later had SQL to do queries.

Is this something I have to bring up at Christmas?

This is one of the reasons why I choose not to immigrate to US. Shit tier nerds like you talking SQL and Functional programming in Christmas have taken over your glorious nation that used to be full of chads.

Wow, all this SWL talk is giving me premature menopause

Damn! You are fertile now? That's a turn on.

🙄🙄

Now talk to me in JavaScript on Xmas eve, eve.

return false; //🤭

Unrelated question. The following is my mother tongue

నేను సెలబ్రేటు చేసుకుంటే మెరపకాయ బజ్జిలు - ఏవిటీ మెరపకాయలొ వాము, చింతపడు పులుసు వేసి బజ్జి చేయాలి.దానితొపాటు, ఉల్లిపాయలు,కొత్తిమీర కాస్త నిమ్మకాయ పిండి తినాలి. నిమ్మకాయ కారం గాని, అల్లం పచ్చడి కాని నంచుకోవాలి. అద్గది పండగంటే ఇట్లా ఉండాలి. సమోసాలు, పునుగులు కూడా బావుంటాయి

It looks really really "round". How pleasing do you find it aesthetically speaking.

It looks very squiggly.

You know I'd hate that answer right.

Now try again. Give a nicer one.

No

You sure you don't want to take another chance?

Uh huh

IE

I thought all the boomer devs were COBOL cowboys

HardIsLife on suicide watch when she realizes that boomers writing for terminals in the early 1980s could actually offer a better user experience than her girly internet ever will.

Imagine associating with developers at all

HardIsLife sounds like the kind of developer who has an SQL query hang the database because she wants to do 50 joins instead of using a temporary table.

Imagine thinking I go anywhere near SQL 🤣

This post made me cancel several job applications.

Aren’t they slowly pushed out of jobs? Who needs a guy who only does querysplaining and indexes? They either become also devs or devops or cling to some outdated db2 shitholes

Are pure DBAs a thing anymore? I mean I'm in development and got stuck with the DBA role, but it's not close to being all the work there is to do. Most of it is monitoring and maintenance of the software, most query planners are intelligent enough to take even your retarded first year queries and optimize them well enough to work.

If you actually write code and don’t tell other people what to do then I probably won’t associate with a peon like you at work.

What the fuck's going on with all the codercels here, you guys really need to learn to journalism.

Day of the static type check when?

SQL is actually super interesting

Like a luxury reach-around, I do both back-end and front-end work.
