What the actual F**k???

i think these two are working in the same company

Skin on your fingertips is overrated anyways /s
- Third-degree burns build character!
- This is just an old trick for building up your calluses
Stock photo "ecologist"
- poor tree, i hope it is doing well...

Boss gets paid a dollar, I get paid a dime, that's why I [printscreen and walk to the printer instead of copy/pasting code] on company time.

This is proper procedure when you're paid by the hour.

I thought the person in the picture was reading code on a tablet device, and was wondering what is wrong with the picture. :D

Why is the code printed in dark mode!?!

Perhaps it's an effort to save companies that sell printer cartridges
- Maybe they work for HP, it's their way to give back.
The answer is simple: Marketing people doing marketing things
And with a file browser sidebar 🤦
I thought tablet, then I thought the post was about the way they were bending the tablet's screen with their thumb, then I finally realised it was paper. Holding a printout of a screen shot just didn't enter my mind.

You gotta love stock photos. My favourite is the one where the code is projected across the room and the developer's face.

That's how you know you're about to enter the matrix

and always make sure to print your code in dark mode, don't want anyone who sees it to think you're weird

Image of Musk reading code he asked to be printed

This remind me of the "Print your most salient lines of code and bring to me"

Screens hurt my eyes.

An e-Ink monitor would be pretty cool. Maybe some day they'll be as fast as LCDs.

Twitter employee?

Damn, he is like ~~Elon Musk~~ my university lecturer who asks us to hand in homework with code printed out

Not sure why you crossed that out. Didn't musk ask for paper copies of code?
- Yes, yes he did

Me searching for a graphic design job...

"1. Knowledge and fluency of front end and backend we design is a must

You will be in charge of maintaining our website.
You will cream social media posts and create videos as needed by the sales team)
Complete understanding of PowerPoint. Create sales PowerPoints daily of whatever the sales team needs. Including all copy."

Any job listing that asks you to "cream social media posts" is a red flag
- Onlyfans content reviewer
this is why I quit graphic design. I was a freelancer for 14 years and finally got sick of it. Not only that, the pay is shit now too. Back in 2007 I got a job offer for $75/hr... granted that was in NYC... but now, you'll be lucky if you find anything for $30/hr, NYC or not.

Average front end dev

When you like computer science but also hate trees.

Back in the day, even in this century, printing out code in good text formatting on plain paper's not a bad way to work with some problems; you can spread out many pages on a table instead of one screenful at a time, make planned edits in paper or pen, then do them. It doesn't suit half-assed "coding" by hitting code completion and "next" in a wizard, but some of us still remember how to program.

But then marketing hears about this and this meme is the best they can come up with.

I suspect it's like Nigerian scammers being blatant about how dumb their scam is, to weed out the smart targets. "simplilearn" is obviously not for people who read manuals, you know?

Wait is this not how everyone reviews code?

Gotta write it up on a whiteboard so it's easier to edit
- Thanks for the tip! I'll suggest this up with my scrum master in our next half day daily meeting.

I'm confused... how do all of you handle your merge conflicts???

with scissors and glue

somewhere some printer-ink making corporate is happy with that pic.

And I thought I abused print statements

Simple, she works at Twitter. Just preparing for a code review with Elon.

Sir, by my calculations we can save millions by having developers switching to a light theme before printing their code for review.

yeah we're printing all TPS reports in dark mode before they go out.

...did you see the memo about this?

Bloody hell, why did the designer print the new UI mockup?

How else are you going to do code review?

The 1 trick Big Screen doesn't want you to know. Instead of buying multiple monitors, just print out the window before minimizing it.

Actual image of a python dev trying to write to the console with javascript.

Flask to react migration is hard

Wait, I am the only one who does PR reviews on paper as God intended?

Hello, I'm here from all, could someone please explain the joke to me?

You can't edit code easily if it's on a piece of paper. It is also stupidity.
- Oh. Part of my job is making complicated procedures and sometimes it helps to print them out and go over with a pen. Didn't realize that doesn't work for code. Now I know!
It's not just that they've printed the code. I've printed code.

It's that they've printed a screenshot of the editor.
