When you're a developer, but you don't want to put "developer" in your profile because then people will assume you know WTF you're doing.

So you call yourself a "software muse" and a "development commentator" and everything you build is merely performance art.

When you look at this json file -- ignore all the red scribbles -- what do you see?

Can you see an attempt to build a purple elephant?

🤣🤣🤣

"Software muse" it is, I guess. 😁

I inspire real developers by having interesting ideas and then implementing them so badly that they take over and finish the work out of pity.

In my experience people often are more eager to rebuild and criticize what is already there, than to build from scratch

Oh, definitely. I'm also that way. More rewarding to improve something than to be the one messing everything up.

Oh. Really? Cool, that leaves me hoping. In my environment, people would opt for a greenfield rewrite without a second doubt, because the protocol used initially was stupid for sure, and no one uses that particular programming language anymore, let alone the framework that has been chosen on top of it, and generally in most cases it seems to boil down to every technical decision being dumb and irresponsible if made by someone else.🙈😬

I'm currently inspiring my in-house development team by asking the important questions:

How do I make comments in json?

Why does the yaml file not like it when I label my entries address, address, address?

The cringe. Is real.

Sounds too "soy latte" for me.

I'm a girl. I'm allowed to play dumb and eschew responsibility and nag.

It's a thing.

Is there a way I can get this power without trannyism and possibly involving bench press... or nah?

Nah.

Just bench press it is then.

Easier than trying to gain privileges by growing a vagina. Probably.
