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

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.
