"Our code is a buggy mess and no one so far has been able to fix it"

"Please god come throw your body in the pile we use to fill up the holes. We are very nearly out of unwitting flesh here."

That's why they need 55 years of experience. They are trying to hire the original dev.

If they require at least a 71yo, assuming the person started working at 16 and has dedicated their entire life to develop software without ever touching management positions, ... At what age does people retire in that country??

[-] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 6 months ago

You guys get to retire?

Damn... I swear no one will ever see me again after my 65th birthday, I'll be on the beach, probably knitting till I die

Sounds like a typical COBOL dev

I spent all my time in utero working on binary division.

I feel like this is a typo and the 55 is intended to just be 5

I can only assume this company put so much effort into their role posting because they're specifically trying to hire quiet quitters that are concurrently holding five or more jobs. I'd encourage any such persons to apply.

Are passionate about the development lifecycle of other engineers and their pain points.

If you've been coding for 55+ years, you've almost gone through a whole engineer life cycle and you most probably know a lot about pain points.

Does it count if I have "5" years of experience in Go and 5 in Nodejs?

ᵉᵈⁱᵗ

Added quotation marks around the first number to make it a string

5+5=55

Big brain thinking

::: spoiler But they were asking for js

And this was actually the point of the joke I made

comic strip, one character says that their favourite language is JavaScript, another looked behind the back of the first to see a drunk third character saying that "11" + 1 = "111" but "11" - 1 = 10

chat in Russian with English translation: You have an apple, you get one more. How many apples you have?One apple Because apple + one = one apple. Is your mother tongue Javascript or something, cyka
