broda said I opened the backlog today and found a bug assigned to me.
|
||
|
||
the bug basically describing that the images are not loading on the app, I take one look at the response and find the images url are sent as ip address.
|
||
|
||
I mention this to the tester and with a straight face they say "well why is it working on my laptop?" the laptop that's connected to their company's network.
|
||
|
||
god why am I even doing this.,This was few years ago, I was an intern in the company (first job I ever had). After few months of fiddling around stuff (haven't yet touched a production project). We landed a 'high priority' project.
|
||
|
||
We were told by the client (A multinational company) that they had a contract that fell through with another software house and the app is already made they just need to integrate it inside their main app instead of having it a separate app.
|
||
|
||
We were like, okay, and we made sure that everything will stay the same (APIs, Feature flows, etc). My managers gave it an estimate of two months.
|
||
|
||
And after a couple of weeks they started changing everything (APIs, flows, design, ALL OF IT) and they insisted we meet the deadline. It was a project for a multinational telecom company so it had payments, features for user's consumption and a shit-ton of other features.
|
||
|
||
At some point I was the only developer working, had to pull more than 16 hours a day to meet the deadline but we did.
|
||
|
||
I was in my fourth year of college as well. It was crazy.
|
||
|
||
May not be the craziest deadline overall, but for sure was the craziest deadline for me to meet.
|
||
|
||
Edit: Oh and after all of that it was never released bc of "financial reasons",We have in our company an 8 GB Ram Intel MacBook Pro that they give to any new Mobile developers and is always returned bc the ram is not enough.

You’d have thought they understood after 3 years. But I just found out they still do it lol.,I have an interview on Sunday and I keep procrastinating like an idiot.``` |
