Welcome_to_ShittyProgramming_v1FINAL.docx

Welcome to ShittyProgramming!

This is a forum for our software engineers, project managers, and Dave, who left two years ago, to discuss and share questions and best practices.

Here you'll find posts (sometimes called ShitPosts by our loyal users) on a wide variety of topics: innovative UI design; beginner basics; emotive, abstract art... you name it, it's welcome here!

If you've made it to our page, you'll be looking right at our highly-customised JIRA instance, which has been hand-crafted to make your ShitPosting as streamlined as possible. Just press the up arrow next to a post or comment if you found it helpful.

We hope you enjoy your stay! And if anyone knows how to revoke Dave's access, please let us know. We don't know how to remove him from the system.

Nice welcome document

Can we agree that the funniest & most frustrating content that appears on this subreddit is when people plug their software or programming videos on youtube.

What's the best reaction to these posts? I'm wondering if letting them stay and commenting on how we agree yes the thing they're trying to plug is very shitty is the way to go? Or should we remove report and move on?

If people are self-promoting their actual courses and tutorials, then of course, we delete them and ban after warning. However, some people make humourous or satirical YT content - that is allowed

+1 for reporting and deleting them. Not doing so just encourages that behavior and it will get worse down the line.
