Edit: 3 old men with very nice beards were very kind to me and helped me get it fixed. No impact to business. This is probably the luckiest I'll ever be<|eost|><|sor|>I was running a process on an AS400 through a sql connection that was going to upsert about 5 million rows and the CTO (who told me to run it in production) killed the process before asking anyone what it was because it was "slowing down the system." The entire company lost about a week's worth of work and they fired ME for it.<|eor|><|sor|>Mmhrmm mmhmm lemme read this back
CTO, AS400, run it in prod, kill it in prod, no contingency, CYA
yeah this all checks out<|eor|><|sor|>I know some of these words<|eor|><|sor|>CTO: Chief Technology Officer. The top programmer at your company. He was probably really good at it once, but he hasn't touched actual code in years. Now he's sort of describes grand dreams of architecture in meetings and Tech Leads bring it to life.
AS400: An ancient processing system still used to this day in big industry, especially manufacturing. Think the computers in the Fallout games. Still in use because it is too dangerous to replace.
Prod: Production Environment, live code, not a drill. Not where you should be testing things and not where you should be doing anything if you aren't qualified (and even then...)
Contingency: a way to unfuck what you fucked, if you fucked something. An undo button.
CYA: Cover Your Ass. Self explanatory.<|eor|><|eoss|><|endoftext|> | 1,117 |

"Hello, here's my resume."
"Oh, hmm, umm. We're really looking for somebody who has more experience in Node.JS."
"My resume and online profile doesn't mention that at all. What led you to think I had any proficiency in Node.JS?"
"Gotta go byeee."<|eor|><|sor|>I keep getting emails from bots offering 90k salaries doing full stack Java, with 10 years of required experience. My resume very clearly says I've only been a programmer for 2 years, and never touched java.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 478 |

I'm a junior developer and I keep getting recruiters that say "Hey, you look like a good fit for this Senior Developer Lead position that needs 10+ years of experience!"
it's so obnoxious.
Edit: It's sad because I'm currently looking for my first full time job out of college, and I was so excited to find out that people were interested in me. Then I realized that they don't even look at my resume<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 470 |

Another rather big software company had me sit 6 hours in a room with no water or food. They never asked me if I needed anything, while 5 different people came into the room to ask me the same exact questions, more or less. First hour was a Javascript test, which I aced (the questions are never hard).
I just don't understand any of this.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 361 |
