If you said "you're welcome" instead of "no problem" you would have a better job by now.
I enjoy my job and I make a very nice living doing it. Ever think of that?
I mean if your life’s goal is to bring me my steak and you’re happy with that more power to ya.
To each their own.
Like he gives a fuck what your entitled ass thinks.
I certainly hope @Mr.Head is taking notes. Top notch work guys.

There sure are some condescending assholes on here. Particularly for some dirty black market pot growers. Are people going to start pretending their all executives with advanced degrees on here? Waiting tables is hard job, but with the right gig can pay very well.
There certainly are Americans who do not want to work and who are lazy,no doubt.I see no need to shit on those of us who grind it out doing what others may not want to do.

As long as people are working I never understood the whole, "my job is better/more important/higher up the ladder" mentality. Who gives a fuck what you're doing as long as you're paying you're own way and not relying on others to support you. Mudding drywall, building roads, waiting tables, busting tables, dentist, lawyers etc... It is all things we need as a civilization so fuck it. As long as you're forced to do labor you're A o.k.!

I was only joking
I was kind of curious what reactions would be.
LOL. What a funny joke, insulting someones lively-hood when you have no idea of their life circumstances. HILARIOUS. you got an HBO special? Got the second coming of Dane Cook boys.

Yup, sure have dude, just one though.

Get better pot when I notice people start to say thank you the wrong way.

This is the same company that removed nuggets because it continually fucked up and gave people extra nuggets. Something as simple as calculating nuggets was too hard.

I also remember one time when greenpoint’s “tech” guy came on bragging about having one of the foremost Wordpress experts working on the site. Maybe hire a real programmer next time.

I work for a pretty large tech company. Every change has to pass numerous unit and integration tests locally, undergo multiple code reviews, and then pass thousands of additional tests before it finally reaches production. It’s a pain in the ass, but this way our production code never breaks in a catastrophic way.
You could probably replace “never” with “rarely.” Haha! There is still no such thing as a proof of correctness in programming, and nasty production errors happen sometimes, but it definitely It sounds like you have a pretty solid deployment process to me.

I was being tongue in cheek about nobody doing testing any more. Some companies have abandoned testing, but there are plenty that take it very seriously. I am a fan of automated tests for all non-trivial systems, I worked in QA and development for “enterprise” companies for a decade or so, and tech support before that. Programming off and on since 1983, when I was 9 years old, holy shit I just realized that.

I like the tech but I don’t love the indistry sometimes.

I gave a presentation last November to the local web meetup on how to manage http redirects programmatically, I am kind of obsessed with it, because I love the web and links don’t have to die. I didn’t mean to act instantly like a twat waffle about some broken links, but it is a passion of mine so it popped out unbidden.

I don't think I answered rudely. I think I answered honestly with a pinch of agitation. I am old enough to know what I enjoy doing vs. what I don't mind doing. I did not mean to sound rude, I was off put at the fact that you don't think I can do better. I am a high school graduate with bookkeeping, tax keeping and a lot of real world work experience given my age. I have worked for several multimillion dollar companies running finances and I just don't want to do the office gig every day (I figured that out 12+ years ago.)

The way you explain your jokes and making a mockery of someones career is rude and condescending. I have no disrespect towards you and yours but I would also appreciate the same respect back.

I absolutely do not understand that way of thinking at all. Some of the greatest technology advances happening right now are because people from different disciplines have different insights into how things can be made to happen. Sometimes when you mix ideas like that you strike genius. Denying that is shortsighted and stupid.

Coming from someone that spent time in the military I don't see how you couldn't understand it. Society is a huge team, like the military. You need the diesel mechanic, the cook, the infantryman more than you need the big brained rocket genius.... and you need a fuck ton more folks in those "lower positions".

To be honest most people in the military come out working menial jobs because the military only prepares so many young men to have careers off the government tit and it attracts plenty of ditch diggers. You're one of the few people with an IQ above 100 that decided to join for whatever reason.

There's many team mates skating through life that went to college and are making 70k+++ fucking off on Facebook all day. These folks could be disappeared from their workplace and no one would notice they were gone in the big picture. There are just as many people that weren't born with the brainpower to get there that are doing their best working at speedway or digging ditches. We need those people doing these jobs until robots take over the world.

There's more capable people doing jobs that might be "less prestigious" than what their potential is, by choice, than there are people currently in these "more prestigious" positions working their craft to a high level.

Many people out there want to have a moderately easy job that pays well enough to enable them to live a middle of the road life they enjoy because of the people around them. Not everyone is driven by money, social status or career success/importance..... those are better people than those that are concerned with the above, imo.

If someone values another person based on their occupation they're a garbage can human being.

Yes, that is what I said. Everyone is important, and anyone can have a better idea than you at any time about how to accomplish something.

I've worked in the software industry for 30+ years and have noticed that the greatest advances often come from people who are very "interesting".
Lots of OCD plus some ADD just for fun. (:
