This is a question Lies that went on too long

When you lie you often have to keep lying. Share your pain. When I was 15 I pretended to be 16 to help get a summer job. Then had to spend a summer with this nice shopkeeper asking me everyday if I was excited about getting my GCSE results. I felt like an utter shit. Thanks to MerseyMal for the suggestion.

software developer
the software bit I can do fine, but I have no idea what our software actually DOES

oooohhhh kaaaayyyy... so how do you tell if it's working, then?
Ah, I've sussed it - you work for Microsoft. So, if the software doesn't work, you just attempt to re-defined the meaning of "working".

Maybe it doesn't do anything
Maybe it's code that decomplies itself, then deletes random lines from itself.

Sounds like all code, to me

HP?

No, not HP
It's a little company that nobody here will have heard of. They do some remarkably niche stuff. By "little" I mean that in total it employs about 16 people, 3 of which are developers (that includes me). I haven't been lost in the marvel that is corporate idiocy or anything like that, I think I'm just incredibly good at making it sound like I know what I'm doing when really all I do is tinker with random bits of code until something changes. Then tinker some more until it changes the right way.
