Have you ever worked on a project where there are no requirements? Where all you have are contradicting instructions from 4-5 different sources, and you have to follow up in order to clear up those incongruencies. Just to end up in more meetings?

Me, when we don't meet the deadline after I told the project manager from the beginning that the feature would take longer 🙊

Wow! A 2 hour (!!) meeting with 6 (!!) people to over-discuss a feature that is "absolutely time-critical" 🤡

The project manager keeps referring to the Node.js server as "the node" and it drives me crazy 😳

Day 49 since the SSL certificate for GitLab expired. You'd think someone would replace this, especially since I mentioned this problem several times, right? 😆

When the project manager isn't on the call one day and asks the developers to "make the call without him", it's just 15 minutes of sheer silence 😂 Great organization skills right there! 👍

When the bug report reads "absolutely unusable" or "completely destroyed" and then it turns out to just be a minor graphical glitch

Me: "This is deprecated, we should look for the solution how to do it more future-proof" Manager: "There is no time" 6 months later: "This is an error that was caused due to a software update of a dependency and could not have been foreseen" Great fucking going! 👍

When a team of 3 developers tries to find a solution for 5 HOURS and can't find something that works. And then the solution is in knowing how the basic HTTP status work (200, 404, 400, 301, 307, etc.) and implementing a 5-line Express.js route.

DEPLOYMENT DAY: - Only after 8pm - 8 people in a phone call - Open screen-sharing session - Other devs look at one dev deploying (yes, no CI/CD) - After that's done, "testers" test the code in production - Devs need to fix errors that could have been detected earlier 🤬🔫
