Hug a Developer

Devshop has created a satirical video of developers in tough times. The video is of software developers standing on street intersections or sitting on the floor outside coffee shops holding up small cardboard signs. Here is some of the text from the cardboard signs.

We’re 4 months into a 5 month schedule and I just received the final requirements yesterday. (and they’ve changed again!).

I spend half my days in meetings about how to get more work done. (instead of working).

My boss read in a magazine that developers using “____” programming language are twice as productive. So he bought us a copy and cut our schedule in half.

This is funny because it is true.

    Great video! But unlike the last guy, I’m still waiting on my hug.
