Hug a developer today...

[americanu197]

you can ask me to put rockets on saturn with my code...and i say yes its doable...whether its doable in the deadline given, remains to be discussed

[lugajohnpaul]

100% true.

[ltshazaam]

more respect. it's a job where you don't get tips, like doctors / mechanics... do and still.. you must know a sh*t load of stuff that are constantly changing or updating.

[Mastermnd0]

It's sad... A developer knows 100x more than most with a normal degree and still gets payed half as much.

[darkdan4ever]

/me is sad..

[davewatcher]

For business, write in good old RPG with a flashy java front end.

[jorgecr9]

I'd love to get the same respect that a doctor gets for the job he does

[jaysonmonterroso]

All of this its true... :'( i need a hug!!

[hoffmannolsen]

This is true!

I just went on that same boat with the new "______"programming language. It didn't change anything. Why don't they see...

[ddstar]

Visual Basics.... ROFL.. That was so 1990s.

[lexbryan]

my boss thinks a code editor like a microsoft word...

[TheBinaryDev]

I hate change requests :(, I hate adding features to 5 years old projects, /cry

[deniamnet2]

its real

[ericcef]

I need a hug, so badly! ='(

[GreyGreenEyes]

@ericcef [hugs you]

And I am a girl ;)

[sysubrczero]

For every dump we encountered, for every bug we fixed, we were working together to meet the requirements... The pride and honor that we fullfill for every program we deliver as our masterpiece. I respect you my fellow DEVELOPERS... :)

[sylvg]

*hug*

[kowjie]

And I was like, "Awwww" =))

[Nii]

*hug*

[insanity1211ger]

C'mon, hug us developers today! This video is so close to the truth, indeed!

[tinidor08]

Its funny because its all true.. Damn!!

[nikmytube]

Of all the professions, why should developers be so emo now??!

[jervey123]

i'm a software engineering student . . . how discouraging! =(

[rajeshram79]

Not so bad, most of the jobs that people do for a living SUCKS.

[sauron1grenoble]

@rajeshram79 yeah, especially when you're an English teacher and the students don't pay any attention :)

[jobtimusprime]

Great Stuff!!! So True... Respect my people!!!

[davidhindu]

this is nothing..i was once physically beaten by my PM for not coding in his expected time. we need more respect than this.

[Euasss]

sweeet

[omatu1]

*sigh*

[louiemiguelv]

This is truely right.... I've experienced this many times.... Whew.... We have nothing to do.... cez` lavi....

[rishabhkhurana]

Hug a software developer!!!:)

[yearcut]

hahaha :D

[raoulrocksu]

nice

[kallikusta]

we didn't ask you to become one!

man up!

[raoulrocksu]

@kallikusta its nice

[flamehotrod]

One should become a Product Manager. More money, less stress. Am I right ?

[666deadcat]

All these boards written by the same guy, check the S's, M's and Y's. don't get too emotional.

[antraxj]

man that s depressing, if they only know that we can get all their info ll be different

[cibermesias]

Aawwwhh

[frank3manuel]

*sniff* this is so touching..

[jacksawild]

lol

[WOWNumansi]

Well said!

[josuealepan503]

hahahaha VIsual Basic Course !!! is most appropriate for their age

[slier81]

Im pretty darn sure this does not happen in Googleplex

[PELUDINCALENTON]

Dude, nowadays the real money is at DB and VM setup/administration and those jobs aren't as fucked up as developing is... My respects for those hard men and women who chose this hard path in their lives...

[bhushan80]

This is just ridiculous but a fact of IT industry. Talk about consultants, they rob the client of their budget. But if client is big and rich, then the client rarely cares about the money spend on the project and often lose the track of the progress made. I was a consultant once for a while and I was hardly given any work. Their utilization of me was around 40% or less while they paid me a healthy hourly rate. And after that, they just rolled me off without job done!

[djmigra]

AWESOME!!!!!

[pauldy]

Lol poor kid he looks like he just finished a 6 week VB course, he isn't excited about anything.

[pauldy]

Lol poor kid at the end he looks like he just finished a 6 week VB course, he isn't excited about anything.

[zeroweb2]

brava

[mraaa007]

awesome one..

[CuriousAppreciative]

Loved it!!

Great copywriter!!!

[hadez4]

awesome

[tjdoss]

I'm a developer and I reckon there were too many lost souls infront of the computers in the 90's. These days the work is pretty much stream lined as any other profession that's out there. People should know how to divert some time to their life and work.

Most people who feel sad should get out and do something, not just sit and expect sympathy.

And more over, don't get too excited by new software cas in anytime soon, it will be old and so would you be.

[TaraStilesYoga]

this is funny, but it looks like it was made by a developer without the help of a designer. . . :)

[rimian]

Of course! If you got a designer to do it you'd kind of be missing the point. :)

[brainmalfunctioned]

omg totally! thats like one of the classic mistakes

[paulzealot]

aww im moved.

[dulankak]

so true :(

[marceloAMPM]

Developers, unite! We deserve some respect!!!

[fimbulvintrcat]

@marceloAMPM and apparently some hugs

[cautionsign]

Oops...it is truth...Lol. Seems it happen everywhere..

[5emmy7]

true

[marcelvisser1337]

Beautiful. I stress everyone to hug developers. Start with me :D

[Cerberus221]

Consultants have a habit of doing that...

[asifah300]

so sad.....! its true......!

[devtodev]

1:16

Thats wat is happening at our place

[hardtoget410]

it is true

[choclatkiss]

i just loooooooooooooove it! sooo true, so true!

[hyperlight]

Genius... and yet tragically true at the same time :-(

[jkilgrow]

the last slides are absolutely true!!

[xtian1023]

We need a group to protect our developer rights. We are the most abused, cursed and overlooked people in the office. We have rights to.

[AgentCROCODILE]

Sad but true. We need more DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS

[metal4life1991]

incoming. half the people i know are computer science/engineering majors. :)

[alxdjo1]

Hello Steve Ballmer XD

[alxdjo1]

or tho say better

Public Class Main{

public static void main(String [] args){

System.out.println("Hello Steve Ballmer");

}

}

XD

[AgentCROCODILE]

Public Class Main{

public static void main(String [] args){

while(1){

System.out.printIn(" DEVELOPERS ");

}

}

}

[insipidman]

I know this was supposed to be funny but in fact its the absolute truth. I'm not a developer myself but i am friends with a few very well trained code developers and have another one in the family who happens to be contracted to Microsoft. you would not believe the horror story's i get from them about this exact subject matter

[virenpathak]

HUG :-)

[nuges01]

Hey, does anyone know what the tune is?

[bluemickey7]

this video really reflects our effort, please be nice with developers, hug a developer :)

[thibaulthalpern]

P.S. I know this video is supposed to be a joke, but from the point of a highly educated but low-income person (Ph.D. canddiate making low pay) this isn't all that humorous.

[thibaulthalpern]

Oh boo hoo indeed. With all that money you're making I cry for thee...yeah. Trying making less than $18,000 a year and see if you prefer that instead.

[rosito1098]

huuug : )

[erikrh]

sad but true...

developers united!! haha xD

[illy47]

*hug*

[delaoaksterdam]

Nice concept but they should add some women developers to the video.

[verobyteme]

That's right! I'm one of those women =) totally geek.

[cahelton1]

Definitely. Also one of those women.

[internianet]

Como la vida misma jajaja me río pero lo sufro a diario

[tunaAKIN85]

Ok. Now i know. i'm not alone.

Imagine this

One time after a 3 month(9 hours a day) hard work. My boss came and say me;

"Can you transform this social network to a e-commerce application? You have more than one week! Show me how much you are a great programmer!"

from Turkey, Yalova city

[cyberguss]

Hey! This is shot in Toronto 8-) Nice work

[300cpilot]

This is a fact!!! Been there!

[verobyteme]

la triste vida de los desarrolladores... I've been there!

[elkami]

ohhh this video is good

my poster say:

my boss tell me the system specs so generic, than i need to smoke marihuana to imagine what he want. then when i finish my boss say nooo i dont want that, erease it, change this and finish for today

[JesusIsGodOfAll]

That is sooooo true - exactly what I experance!! Good to see I am not the only one...

[alex4ever77]

Excelso

[gerilac86]

yea, it's sooo true, being a developer i know what am i talking about :)

*adding to favorites*

[tomanar]

LOL! developers should ask for raise!

[daoying2000]

its --true? i wanna be a web developer but u scare me!!!

[rafaelxy]

It's funny how developers around the world feel the same way...

[IslandDog5]

i guess making video games wasn't as fun as the art school brochures said huh? fucking losers cry cry cry

[jkern35]

another sign for the video:

"I burned a few work days filming and producing this movie for youtube, now i have no time to actually do my job"

just a thought

[ohmytit]

brilliant!

[lordvaldemort]

You developers are all the same. About time some of those boards had some proactive Dilbert style actions on them for sorting the problem not telling everyone again what they are...

[punktdawg]

*Hugs*

[RoadRage51]

What song is this!?!?!?!?!

I must know!

[AndinoInDenial]

It's not a real song. It's just an iMovie tune from macs.

[baddmanaz]

all these developers have identical handwriting.

[bariuspelagic]

"I just finished an intensive 6 week Visual Basic course."

LFMAO!

[methylamine]

LOL so true :)

[tokonoko]

This solitary tear on my check is for, you devs of the world!! $curr=strtotime(hug("today"));

[ilborro]

so close to the truth.....

[DrewsAnimation]

I'm a developer for a major video game company. This would be funny if it wasn't so painfully close to the truth.

here ya' go buddy

*hug*

[paschott]

While not always true, a lot of these pop up all too often. Awesome video and I really appreciate the laugh.

[Helionaeic]

We have a joke at our company that we call the eUncertainty Principle: The more you look at, and code the requirements, the more the requirements change...

[fmitterb]

*lol* :D

That is true :-)

[arnavanuj]

its pretty much feeble to me!!

[notmoira222]

I love this video . . so true!

[sinecurea]

What is the music?

[CozmoNz]

Gotta suck... Wrong choice of Career :P.

[Octophetus]

*Hug* !

[antdude]

How about Software Quality Assurance (SQA)? They, including myself, have to go through sufferings (similiar issues) too. :(

[casualhardcoregamer]

What? and the programmers that are doing all the work don't deserve one too? second vid plz!

[AnonymousMarcab]

Down with EA.

[Cybermagellan]

Lets see I've been at work for 14 plus hours so far working on code that needs to be done in two weeks but due to my other work obligations I have to get it done in two days.

I could really use a hug right now...at 8:23 at night.

[profetik858]

...and yet here you are on youtube :)

[supaben34]

Great job on this one!! Couldn't have come at a better time...

[j3mj3m]

*hugs* developers are awesome

[dmchris613]

that was awe inspiring, i will hug a developer

[EpsilonAJS]

I really don't understand why anybody would continue working at a place that did these things. Life's too short to accept that kind of aggravation. A new job usually means a raise, anyway...

[paulwarren2112]

> A new job usually means a raise, anyway...

Not always in this day and age. Programmers have to really earn those raises now (unlike the roaring '90s).

[EpsilonAJS]

Where I live, I know of at least 5 places in my town hiring qualified people. I actually got laid off two weeks ago and just committed to an exciting new job with a serious raise. Nothing's free but if you're qualified, there's usually something available. Plus CS enrollment rates have plummeted since the late 90s. There's a coming CS labor shortage... Don't accept your crap job; look for something better.

[ndavidg]

This is the typical IT office, so you'll likely be moving to the same type of situation. Unless you're part of the consulting firm that does the half-ass job halfway and leaves, but those jobs are not reliable.

[EpsilonAJS]

>>This is the typical IT office

That is a thoroughly depressing thought. I just can't believe businesses are that stupid and still profitable...  Perhaps I'm just in a unique tech community. In which case, I'm never moving. Ever.

[interfl0p]

I'm guessing you never worked as a developer.

[IslandDog5]

ive been a producer at two studios and at both places they thought they were gods gift to the development world and they were all wrong both times

[sunkistbabe2]

wow, that was scary accurate to my last job

[logicalriot]

there's a high def of this somewhere. I remember watching it a couple weeks ago. maybe it was vimeo.

[rkisb]

just add fmt=18 at the end of the querystring :p

where are your developer instincts???

[naderc]

Nice piano tune, what's the name of it?

[ish90an]

This was brilliant. I dont know whether to laugh at the brilliance of it or cry at the pain developers are in.

[mmutsuda]

Is this video's song from iMovie or iDVD or something? It's sounds familiar to me ^^

Great video btw!

[chudleycannonfodder]

It is. HayleyGHoover uses it at the ends of her videos.

[boobie278]

haaay.... my career story!

[elsurexiste]

This is too real to bear, I need a hug badly.

[cornholioPL]

what is the title of this song?

[GeekFox]

Ouch. I've seen this way to often.

[leeterthanyou]

Story of my life @ 0:12 :/

[chata8]

This is my life :(

[coderblues]

Love it! Great job!

[nitewing98]

Non-developers think these are jokes. So why are the developers who watch this crying?

[flaming6]

Oh, my heart! I have seen this pain on the faces of my friends, and must now go hug them.

[prodrivebrasil]

HAHAHAH!!

Great video!! ;]

As a developer, this sounds VERY familiar to me. =P
