@whimsical that’s… dark 😅

@whimsical I dunno. It’s just everything together.

...The Postal Dude?

OT: Probably the best thing to do would be to get a bit involved to see what's actually going on. Either the iOS senior is unnecessarily uptight, or the fault lies w/ the juniors... or it's somewhere in between.
- Maybe you can get a look at the PRs, see why they're being rejected etc.
- Maybe check out some of their processes?
...then again, 'meddling' w/ their affairs may be seen by some as overstepping, so who knows. Tough situation. -
@whimsical in my company usually the ios teams are a few sprints ahead of android and are the ones with the least technical and social problems :)
-
@whimsical yup, I often hear stories from project managers/scrum masters who wonder why ios devs are always so nice and easy to work with, compared to others.
Why is that hard to believe? -
@whimsical ain't I the nicest person in the world that you have interacted with? 🙃
-
@whimsical wait… there are others?

@whimsical > '@D-4got10-01 or it's just ios and xcode being the problem.'
Oh yes... that's definitely a possibility, too. -
@jestdotty yeah.. It's been 3 more days, we had a release cut and iOS didn't make it..
-
@whimsical I can speak for Android devs.. All you need to do is sit down and learn kotlin with us.. We'll take care of the remaining iOS team.

@D-4got10-01 I've seen the prs, it seems aight to me (and a few other devs). Might just be friction in the iOS team. Don't want to overstep and start advising some other folks.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
Android dev here.
Been working on this team for one year now. Greatest collaborators I've ever worked with. Feels like we're all working off of the same brain. But this is not about my team. Parallel to ours, there's the iOS team. And if I said they're disfunctional, that'd still be underselling it.
They're atleast 2 sprints behind android on the same features, the junior devs are trying their best to sync up and code their way. But the senior guy has a stick up his bum or something. Keeps shooting down prs left and right. The iOS guys come up to me (I'm the only one in office, rest of android is at a different site) asking for logic changes or UI changes and the like. Although I do have some iOS experience, I can't really get involved, because it's a different codebase and team. Feels very much like office politics.
I feel sorry for the team. Really makes you grateful to have good team members. Any advise I could give them would be welcome.
