I warned you |
| Severity | Official definition | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| P0 — CRITICAL | Production is down, customers affected | You're fired |
| P1 — HIGH | Major feature broken, no workaround | Skipping lunch today |
| P2 — MEDIUM | Feature degraded, workaround exists | "Add a try/except, push to prod" |
| P3 — LOW | Minor issue, rare conditions | Closed as "works as intended" in 3 months |
| P4 — TRIVIAL | Cosmetic, edge case | Will be open for 9 years |
| P5 — WONTFIX | Not worth the effort | "It's a feature, actually" |
1. DENIAL → "That's impossible. This code hasn't changed."
2. ANGER → "WHO WROTE THIS?!" (git blame → it was you)
3. BARGAINING → "OK one more print statement and I'm done"
4. DEPRESSION → Googling: "can I become a farmer at 28"
5. TESTING → Adding logs to the logs that log the logs
6. ACCEPTANCE → "It's cosmic rays. Nothing we can do."
7. ENLIGHTENMENT → Missing semicolon. Spent 6 hours.
| S | Python · Rust · PostgreSQL — you actually ship |
| A | Go · TypeScript · Docker — you read docs |
| B | Java · C# · MySQL — corporate but functional |
| C | Node.js · MongoDB · jQuery — boot camp survivor |
| D | PHP · Ruby on Rails · Jenkins — 2014 wants its stack back |
| F | Electron · CoffeeScript · Wordpress — you deserve this |
| 💀 | Perl · ColdFusion · Visual Basic 6 — how did you even find this page |
Disclaimer: this tier list is a joke. Mostly.
| What we say | Translation |
|---|---|
| "Works on my machine" | I have no idea why it broke |
| "It's a flaky test" | The bug is real, I just don't want to fix it |
| "Race condition" | I don't understand threading |
| "Cosmic rays" | It actually might be me but I'm not admitting it |
| "Must be the cache" | I have no hypothesis |
| "It's a Heisenbug" | Fancy word for "I can't reproduce" |
| "Should be an easy fix" | 3 weeks minimum |
| "I'll do it after this sprint" | Never |
| "Let me just check one thing" | 4 hours later... |
| "The docs say..." | There are no docs, I'm hallucinating |
| Situation | Junior | Senior |
|---|---|---|
| Writes a function | 1,247 lines, 14 classes | 7 lines, no classes |
| Sees old code | "Who wrote this garbage" | "I wrote this garbage" |
| Encounters a bug | Rewrites entire module | Deletes 3 lines, works |
| Asks for help | After 2 minutes | After 3 days of suffering |
| Suggested fix | "We need microservices" | "Add an index" |
| Code review | LGTM 👍 | 47 comments on 3 lines |
| Finds a bug in prod | Panics, pages everyone | Goes to lunch first |
| Learning new framework | Rewrites everything | "No." |
| "Can we extract this into a helper?" | "Why not use a Map here?" | "Tests?" |
| "Typo in comment" | "What does this regex do?" | "Why is this a class?" |
| "nit: missing period" | ⭐ FREE ⭐ | "Consider a switch statement" |
| "Did we discuss this?" | "This could be one line" | "LGTM 🚀" |
| "I have a strong opinion about this" | "Can we benchmark?" | "Where's the documentation" |
Mark 5 in a row and you win a PR that never gets merged.
