Introduction
The struggle of being a programmer is understood by none other than another programmer. We came across a lot of problems all day long and we have to overcome each and every obstacle.
So today, I would love us to share things that a coder/programmer hates to encounter?
My thoughts
As a coder/programer I hate following things to encounter
- No Network🌐
- Stuck on one problem that takes a lot of time to get solve😨
- Can't execute the program that I found on the web▶️
Discuss
- What you hate most as a Programmer?
- Nightmare for you as a Programmer?

When you can't find solution to a problem any where in the internet.
This is epic level of frustration

QUESTION :- Nightmare for you as a programmer ?
ANSWER :-
Nightmare levels
• 00 -- 25 = 😠
• 25 -- 50 = 😡
• 50 -- 75 = 😈
• 75 --.100 = 😫
My nightmares are
• Code compiling failure = 😈
• likage of secret codes for a very big project = 😠
All the point is very frustrating while you try to be in good mood.
Can we talk in dev.to connect for that follow me please and send me a massege please and i am going for some work i will be online in half an hour so dont worry if i dont reply at dev.to connect
Refactoring someones code that it's written VERY badly.... 100 in scale of hating...
Yesss that's painful
every code smells after a while....
I'd like to refactor others code. I first write testcases for the existing code (if no tests exist) and then I try to clean up the original code step by step.
I then always have the feeling that I have really improved something.
Important is that you really understand the "business logic" before you just throw away something you didn't understand.
Incomprehensible tickets, poorly written.
Yesss that's frustrating
Having to read code where someone was trying to be smart.
The "programming is just Ctrl+C Ctrl+V" meme.
Confused languages that think they're C when they're not.
Object-Oriented Programming taken too far.
PHP
Simplifying poorly-written complex code with an equivalent but simpler expression, only to find out after deploying to production that it wasn't equivalent.
PHP??
PHP.
PHP is better as a command-line language than a web language.
Okay, I am a newbie to PHP.
"Having to read code where someone was trying to be smart"
So much this! After figuring it out, I'll think "well, that's pretty cool and clever". But then I will likely change it to something more readable because, more often than not, cleverness = maintenance nightmare.
Oh and, I've often been too clever myself for my own good. Go back into some piece of codes a couple of weeks later, come across "me being clever the other day" and going, "WTF does this do?"
Yess a clear code is what we want
+1 to all the bullets lol
🤣🤣
Having to use version control in secret 😬
Yep
i'm maintaining some project made with a php framework, kohana (discarded in 2012 😫 ) and the log system don't work on php 7. so the nightmare is to resolve bug without a log or a clou
That's really frustrating and hope it resolves soon
Testing
Yep that can be
No internet. Hahahaha...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Things on my hate list
Hope your list get smaller over the time
I'm confident, that at some point IE users die out :D
Edge. It's been Edge for a long while now. Edge!
I worked on IE 10 and IE 11, at Microsoft. I was surprised — and ecstatic — when Edge went live. Even many of us on working on IE didn't know about the Edge project in the works until it went public.
to be bored with a task
To be stuck at a problem is boring and frustrating
There are tasks that are truly uninteresting.
For example, "I've done this 100 times already" sort of mundane tasks. Writing boilerplate code where nothing new is being done is definitely up there on the boredom scale.
Another example is that some devs don't like writing documentation. Writing documentation can get repetitive. I personally like the activity since writing docs usually catches a few last-minute bugs in the software that might otherwise go unnoticed for months.
The key to combating boredom is to also work on interesting side projects. Side projects provide the drive and energy to overcome boredom and get the less exciting tasks done.
Having a long turn-around time from pushing code => to being able to test while debugging critical bug.
Yesss
What I hate most:
I work with 3 teams, one of them is based in the Bay area, another one in Vietnam, mine's in Paris. SF Team and mine are mostly senior devs, so we have access to push to production in case of emergency.
And for one of the US devs, it seems like a fckin CSS issue is an emergency. Dude branches out from master, to write some working code, without commenting or testing.
And we told him countless times to respect the chain of command, but still, he doesn't care, and bosses won't change a thing, because "Hey, most of the time, it works"
Writing testsuit for a feature that takes more time than writing the actual logic for that feature.
That's lot of time sometime
