"If you've done everything well, no one will know you've done anything at all"

I put in minor bugs that look critical so i can fix them during demos and look like a rockstar. AMA.

krexelapp · 2026-04-03T08:23:04+00:00

worked on first try. i’m terrified.

bryden_cruz · 2026-04-03T08:19:49+00:00

Honestly it's a great excitement seeing your feauture working well

patmax17 · 2026-04-03T08:44:33+00:00

There's also "I wrote this and it works. Hm... I wonder if I did something wrong?"

QA seeing features work as intended

JacobStyle · 2026-04-03T08:56:00+00:00

Needs a panel of angry executives seeing the feature work as expected

That moment when you execute that function that you have been working on for three days and the right number comes back...

But then you think about the time it took to make this singular function and and only for ot to give you that one number. So you overthink your life choices and get like real depressed for a few days, before working on another function...

Kinperor · 2026-04-03T11:19:08+00:00

One time I deployed a feature that had me going like "excited bench-full of lads", but my users were "bored bench-full of lads". (cut down a 40+ sec & multiple inputs workflow, to single-click 3 sec workflow)

I had the opposite another time, deployed a very small QoL improvement to the tool, user declared boundless romantic love. (program now automatically filled a field, removing one copy+paste operation)

There's no rhyme or reason to users.

Clients realize now they’d have to pay loll

Standard_Ocelot8564 · 2026-04-03T08:30:58+00:00

The greatest joy: when I just silently work ❤️

Grade_appeal · 2026-04-03T09:05:22+00:00

Needs a panel of angry/disappointed/suspicious QA too.

ohdogwhatdone · 2026-04-03T11:43:56+00:00

Those guys must be in their late 50s or mid 60s by now.

MundaneSugar4679 · 2026-04-03T12:33:17+00:00

Users seeing it work: mild satisfaction
Developers seeing it work: 'This is the greatest day of my life and I'm scared'

But by whose expectations, the user's, the manager's, the tester's or the developer's?

dbforge_dev · 2026-04-03T09:16:16+00:00

“Works as expected” is honestly a higher tier emotion than happiness.

Yeah, this is how I felt when seeing people implent the option for Unix sockets and TCP sockets and being interchangeable until I had to implement it myself

Wachtwoord · 2026-04-03T12:21:15+00:00

This happens everywhere. When you buy groceries, you don't celebrate all the features of the system that were needed to get the food there

United-Feature-4566 · 2026-04-03T12:59:30+00:00

Once it starts working never touch it again 😭😭

turkishhousefan · 2026-04-03T13:42:26+00:00

Product damager realising they're not getting what they thought they asked for (they refused to define requirements).

this meme always gets me because the 3 dudes to the left have different clothing and yellow shirt even has a different haircut in the bottom panel

"Developer seeing user use the feature as expected"

mrg1957 · 2026-04-03T15:01:58+00:00

It's more exciting when you do it in production.

Agreeable_Mind7977 · 2026-04-03T15:58:00+00:00

Hah so true

SubjectMountain6195 · 2026-04-03T16:13:25+00:00

What about bugs as a feature?

Extension-Shape9930 · 2026-04-03T20:44:01+00:00

Haha, that hits close to home! What's your go-to fix for bugs like that?

HolyElephantMG · 2026-04-03T21:20:41+00:00

Users expect it to succeed

Devs have watched it fail

kishaloy · 2026-04-04T05:36:13+00:00

And the first group has no idea about the pain, tears and blood behind the features. Each one has a tragic story to tell.

No_Pension_4762 · 2026-04-04T18:01:00+00:00

GlitteringLaw3215 · 2026-04-10T04:40:49+00:00
