They care more about their stupid emails than about your money.

I am a software developer at a big bank. The hoops we are forced to jump to just do our jobs are ridiculous.

We resorted to using buggy and laggy remote development environments through a slow VPN.

It’s a miserable life, but at least the pay is good.

You gain efficiency, but lose fun

I use fuck to fix typos

I bet the reason we don’t have it yet starts with N and ends with Vidia

It makes more sense when we assume it’s software development terminology instead. Alpha means the software is immature and full of issues.
