@Lensflare It's really Vegeta not believing Goku has a power level over 9000.

@jestdotty tuhfuck.ogg

Un ver vert va vers un verre vert. :D lol.

I wonder who would want to drink a poisonous fish beverage.

@BordedDev Blimey Demons Strike Madness

@retoor every company gets a budget for that he says :P she says

@jestdotty Self-paced in my case. >: D I'm getting high scores, so that's good.

@retoor Of course, every company gets a budget for continually improving the skills of their employees to stay relevant. Can't share due to NDA.

@BordedDev This reminds me of the movie My dinner with André, where he says that people talk in roundabout ways instead of directly and this is adding to their asleep status.

@BordedDev Sleep helped!

@BordedDev My bloodshot eyes say hi. Thanks for the information.

@jestdotty weirdette

@jestdotty Don't words. No need to words yourself up over it. Haha.

@jestdotty You stated that you hated words, so I wondered if you hate books and writing, which have words in them.

Whatchamacallit (candy)(lol)

@jestdotty This 'role' thing is the biggest bullshit ever. Management wants you to be there and delegate, yes. And you know the rest.

Yes, in my case I didn't work more hours but I did spend fewer hours on my main job title activities and I had to certify in the new role, all without extra pay. 'learning opportunities'. They can go fuck themselves.

@jestdotty Go-getter jestdotty. Do you hate books and writing as well? Hm.

You're pretty funny, jestdotty. Yes, the industry is full of arrogant, credit-stealing narcissists.

@Root Damn, I felt sick reading that, out of empathy. I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, same for me.

@jestdotty I get irritated when a software product doesn't have a full and complete specification. I despise unclear requirements that then drag onto tons of meetings trying to get out of the confusion mess.

Micromanagers are annoying. Having to track every day wtf you did and how many hours you did it. Sigh. If the bad spirit is the Scrum Master then you're fucked.

@jestdotty Rofl. 'cause they want to feel powerful. They do that with everyone that's not their favorite.

This is of course harassment and shouldn't be tolerated.

@iiii Interesting. It depends on the task complexity and category. Trillion-dollar industries often require thorough specification across the whole pipeline because of accountability and audits, so it's not strange to see user stories specified in detail with pre-req, input, output, acceptance criteria, verification criteria, validation criteria and attachments and comments of the story owners and reviewers explaining the business case etc.

@iiii It's part of the industry-standard Testing Framework called Planning Poker, one of the ways to do agile test planning. If you don't specify and discuss in detail, problems surface later on. I know this from experience as well. The agile testing framework also specifies that things should be discussed continuously and openly.

Probably because the companies are trying to save money by hiring jr. devs with low skills, getting bonuses for amount of devs hired and then hoping they will turn into some wizards later on.

Hm.. it all has to do with money, I think. In my experience in the industry, whenever I addressed the topic of wanting to continuously learn, business has always been allergic to it and always in favor of hacking shit together and taking shortcuts. This is also done in the hiring process and it's reflected across the whole chain. There is no expertise, only a bunch of noobs selling themselves as experts.

Hm.. I suppose asking A.I. doesn't help.

@BordedDev https://youtube.com/shorts/...

So, chitting. lol

@jestdotty I am the 10% that got accepted. lol. At my company they expect you to know your algorithms, patterns and mathematics. And yeah, they're all Masters and Ph.D's.

@jestdotty Yeah, they want to live in their familiarity.

lol the small-talk. Haha. Yes, why would they ask me how I'm doing, when they don't give a fuck?

@jestdotty And now investing 35 minutes into jestdotty. Heheheh. Or perhaps fewer, because I'll speed it up, the video.

People who lol around shouldn't get benefits for it.

I also hate power-hungry people. They piss all over the company atmosphere.

Yeah.. the perception sucks. It's not how good I am, it's people's perception and bias, which fucks things up a lot.

Fuck networking. I'm just there to do my job and go home.

Fuck dishonesty. I have my integrity.

Do I want to go around being manipulative? Nah. I want to do my own thing.

What infuriates me is that the biggest lead in our company was given that role because of how much he fucking smiles and whatever, not by skills. I discovered his bs one day when he has a decade more experience than I do and I easily kick him to the curb tech skills wise. I was appalled, really.

@jestdotty I'm sorry to hear that, jestdotty. You are a nice person.

Hm.. do finance.. I wonder.

@FinlayDaG33k augmented through A.I. lololol. Yes, I won't be surprised when they tell you "please don't waste company time and just use A.I. for that".
