@Lead Developer 1 what kind of asshole question is that? There's a million answers to that question and not one is your business. Do you know how to be a decent person?

@Lead Developer I fucked up by being a woman. And working at agencies that don't give 23 year olds director titles.

Is that a joke? 👆

@Director1 Not really. Care to show me?

@OP I figured it was something like that. I just left an agency that only gave promotions to women who weren’t having families, and neglected people in other areas for YEARS.

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit

I got hired to be the SME on a particular tech platform at my current company. I have more experience on it than my boss does, yet during a code review, he insisted that I delete a section of code that was perfectly functional and shippable and swap in his preferred code. Two hours later, he figured out that the reason why there were more than a few compiler errors in the code was because my code actually worked… smh.
