    Boss gets paid a dollar, I get paid a dime, that’s why I [printscreen and walk to the printer instead of copy/pasting code] on company time.

    I thought the person in the picture was reading code on a tablet device, and was wondering what is wrong with the picture. :D

    Why is the code printed in dark mode!?!

      I thought tablet, then I thought the post was about the way they were bending the tablet’s screen with their thumb, then I finally realised it was paper. Holding a printout of a screen shot just didn’t enter my mind.

    You gotta love stock photos. My favourite is the one where the code is projected across the room and the developer’s face.

    and always make sure to print your code in dark mode, don’t want anyone who sees it to think you’re weird

      An e-Ink monitor would be pretty cool. Maybe some day they’ll be as fast as LCDs.

      this is why I quit graphic design. I was a freelancer for 14 years and finally got sick of it. Not only that, the pay is shit now too. Back in 2007 I got a job offer for $75/hr… granted that was in NYC… but now, you’ll be lucky if you find anything for $30/hr, NYC or not.

        Thanks for the tip! I’ll suggest this up with my scrum master in our next half day daily meeting.

    Back in the day, even in this century, printing out code in good text formatting on plain paper’s not a bad way to work with some problems; you can spread out many pages on a table instead of one screenful at a time, make planned edits in paper or pen, then do them. It doesn’t suit half-assed “coding” by hitting code completion and “next” in a wizard, but some of us still remember how to program.

    But then marketing hears about this and this meme is the best they can come up with.

    I suspect it’s like Nigerian scammers being blatant about how dumb their scam is, to weed out the smart targets. “simplilearn” is obviously not for people who read manuals, you know?
