Work for company specialized in a specific industrial communications standard. Things go quite well at first... work on C# GUI at first then switch to embedded development in C.
Now:
Has to write shitty ANSI C89 code, because some assholes use a compiler from the 80s. Open the fucking IDE for their compiler... it looks like it's from fucking 1998. Co-worker recommends another IDE which he says is more bearable, now it looks like it's 2002. Great. This is not so bad, after all with portable TM C code written in the most supported standard we can reach a wider variety of customers except when their C compiler is actually a compiler for a C like language. Fuck me.
A Few months go by... company asks us to help them with their PSU. The estimation for the task is a few weeks. 6 months later it's still not ready. They bought their fucking PSU from the fucking chinks.
Some months later... we need a REST API with JSON and that's when we started web development in C. Friend of mine reads the REST API and JSON specs... design committee calls him the REST API expert. He spent 2 hours reading the specs. Fuck me.
Co-worker writes a UI framework for an LCD to display shit with... management decides we need a string name and a number for value displayed.
Is this the absolute state of INDUSTRIAL QUALITY development?
