I'm a lumberjack And I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
(He's a lumberjack And he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day) ....

Hey, maybe one day programmers will also sleep all night and work all day.

I'm a software dev and I'm alright.
I sleep all day and I work all night!

Bravo! 👏

I cut down trees

I wear high heels

Suspendies and a bra

I wish I'd been a girly

Just like my dear pa-pa

Web Developers in 2023: “Dear ChatGPT, please center this div for me”

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

or just unemployed. Lots of software developers are getting the boot right now.

Like me!

My first draft was “Web Developers in 2023: ‘My ChatGPT account got banned and now I might have to find another line of work’” Sorry to hear about you situation.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

That's a good source for a Swole Doge vs Cheems meme

chatGPT is not even near perfect. It is just a trained model with solutions from internet forums and web pages. Its more like a search engine with fancy words. All the result it produces is trash. One can't even write a basic working code with chatGPT.

Its an another form of algorithm that already exists and bit upgraded. Its more of a hype.

I'm guessing somewhere around 2016, but that's just my gut feeling.

I like it when they just tell us upfront how old they are like that.

Seven years later the web developer has the same hair and beard but no pants

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm in this comment, and... I guess I'm okay with that.

But for all any of you know I'm wearing dress slacks and shiny professional shoes, and not at all enjoying cozy PJ pants and sandals over socks.

What the fuck is that lumberjack measuring, that's a carpenter.

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

lol - dude, they measure so many logs. Even with all the modern tech and fern gully esk death machines, it's still a battle to keep 10 different products within their very specific cut windows.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love how we watched Fern Gully, saw the machine monster, and thought "Yeah, we need more stuff like that!"

And now over two thirds of all wildlife is dead and gone since 1970.

People need houses, toilet paper and pallets to ship all of their food around the world. As with most things, the problem is the size of the human population: not the specific methods by which we go about destroying the earth. There's just too many of us. The balance is off.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There's also the fact that my profession consumes large sheets of steel for vanity. But putting people to work is the prime directive, doing useful work is far lower on the priority list. Questioning useless waste of time and energy is even lower again, much lower than the goal of preventing excess free time.

Until you people change, I will continue consuming your carbon-heavy electricity and steel, and consuming my time, for the purpose of ensuring I am allowed food and housing. And I will eat a red meat diet out of spite.

Sounds like a terrible trade for all parties, but you lot seem to prefer it.

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't have a single clue what you are talking about just FYI.

[–] Piers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I hadn't read his comment when I made mine but it says the same thing if that helps.

[–] Piers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It makes me want to scream constantly.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago

Just an fyi, in English it's spelled "-esque", like "fern gully-esque". I looked it up just to make sure it wasn't a regional spelling (sometimes words vary in spelling and pronunciation across regions because English can't keep its shit together), and I learned something interesting! Some languages (like dutch and German) spell it the way you did!

I worked with arborists for a while, they didn't measure shit

[–] bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Arborist is a totally and utterly unrelated job to 'lumberjack', or logger. They don't produce logs for framing, construction, landscaping or appearance grades. Arborists generally take care of problematic trees and then chip up the waste.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

"Totally and utterly unrelated" is very dramatic

Where tf are you finding footie jeans??

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 years ago

Or footie slacks for that matter

2025: "Lumberjack" on the left, "Lumberjack" on the right

[–] Gsus4@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

That flannel ain't gonna buy itself...

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Truth hurts!

[–] arkholt@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Nah, I think there were web developers that looked like lumberjacks in 1996, too.
