i'm going to try to illustrate the reality of a developer's life. this post is a translation of another post written in spanish.

when you upload something to the production environment:

when you solve a problem without googling:

when you close your ide without saving the code:
when you try to fix a bug at 3am:
when your regular expression returns what you expect:
when my boss told me that the module i've been working on will never be used:
when i show my boss that i've fixed a bug:
when i upload a code without tests and it works as expected:
when marketing folks show developers what they've sold:
the first time you apply a css to a web page:
when the sysadmin gives you root access:
when you run your script the first time after several hours working on it:
when you go on weekend and everyone else is at the office trying to fix all the issues:
when your boss finds someone to fix a critical bug:
when you receive extra pay if your project ends before deadline:
when something that worked on friday doesn't work on monday:
when you develop without specifications:
when your boss tells you that "tests are for those who don't know how to code":
when you update a database script and note that you have deleted the whole database:
