Someone drew this. Someone thought of this, mulled it over, decided that they should draw it, then drew it, published it and shared it with everyone. This.

I will not have it!

Take my upvote and never show your face here again. With or without mouse makeup!

Honestly, I want to see more. I hope this gets picked up by Netflix.

The best part is just how it gets more absurd with each new thing.

This is pretty much one of the sanest things calkearns has drawn, too

Unfortunately for us fans, it looks like Callery Kearns may have retired. Maybe you know something more?

[–] dactylotheca@suppo.fi 3 points 4 weeks ago

Unfortunately no

This feels like several dreams I've had. Whoever made this, I feel you. We are cut from the same cloth.

I don't really know how to explain my job to someone without them thinking it's something else. Maybe it's ego but I hate saying I'm a dev (and which kind) because of what they're going to assume but I also don't want to say something pretentious like "I solve problems".

I have been thinking of just saying I program even though that's very reductionist but at the same time I don't want to answer any questions about my work.

I guess you could say I wish I had a real job that did real things.

/end rant

How about words that are similar to devel? Things like software architect, software technician, software analyst, or maybe just software engineer.
I like engineer because my job encompasses many other aspects in addition to development.

Of topic: At least in Germany the work title "engineer" is protected. You need to have studied a technical degree in at least a 3 year program at a recognized university. Just a fun fact.

I believe that is true in the US too, except maybe for software development. Last time I went and looked at new job posts, they were all for software engineers, even positions that were clearly for entry level jobs where programming wasn't even really the focus.

This one gets me every time
