Bossmang wrote a cursor prompt to pull tickets, their SLoC counts, and their average time to completion per dev, then praised or chastised accordingly.

You guessed it: no thought to complexity, code bloat, or scope creep. Just SLoC/day, days/ticket.

What won the statistics award is being assigned lots of small tickets /
tickets without scope creep, committing branches that don’t get merged, writing verbose spaghetti, using AI to write/rewrite large swaths of code, and simply moving large files.

Great job, dude! 💯🎉

    Wow, managers can leverage AI to be just as fuckass stupid as before

    I'd like to know whether the bossman is new && naive, new && naive && retarded, an ostensible senior... but retarded, or something else?

    Either way yes - the guy's a moron.

    Just commit a new prettier config or whatever Ruby uses for formatting every time you have to push changes so the diffs get huge

    @D-4got10-01 Ostensibly a senior, but ugh, his code is ugly, and he never seems to have an answer when I ask him about really any area of the codebase.

    According to him, he “just gets it done and [doesn’t] care about code cleanliness, finding elegant solutions, performance, etc. [He has] to force [himself] to revisit code and clean it up or [he] never would.”

    He’s good at things like setting up Jenkins, though, or boring tasks like trawling through logs to figure out why something went wrong.

    I thought most devs prefer less loc….less code less bugs less shit to read, this devs from a different planet

    I had bad exp with get things done types bc their code was bug central, and i would have to delete their work and write my own shit bc their work looked “done” but wasn’t actually

    @Root At least he's good at something... But still it doesn't really sound like he should be in his managerial position, given his * cough * ideas.

    I really hope you find another place... be strong.

    Have you considered attaching an AI code reviewer to his code? That gives "constructive" critique?
