Imagine working with boring people AND work in a loud office.
Yes, I am quitting my job soon. -
Why not gold though?
I distrust the government so much that I won't let my future be decided by a bunch of people printing papers. -
I was hired to create/manage CICD
In the end, I also have to do Java development (because nobody in the team can do it)
Now I also volunteer to do Groovy scripting because I am bored (the other dev who can do it is too busy with other assignments) -
@vane
😂😂 This is literally what happened to me. They sent me a EUR 10 gift card for my birthday.
There's no bonus whatsoever. -
@max19931
Fights and arguments during meeting is part of our culture, you know 🤪 -
Because many people work on it.
-
Since you mentioned it, kindly pay the Cat Tax 😸
-
Same here, all the new hires are non-tech ( managers, admin) even though we have notified management that we're lacking technical people.
Who needs another PM?! God-damned it!
This is the main reason why our project is a dumpster fire. -
If yours is an outsourcing company, it shouldn't be hard to place you in other clients projects.
I also work in outsourcing company, though we tend to overwork, we've never had a problem assigning people. We even have to let some positions unfulfilled as we can't find enough people to do it. -
Does it mean that you can do whatever you want to the UI design?
If it were me, I would love it and I will treat as my own project. I am sick of being told to do this/that approach that I don't agree with. -
This is why I don't offer my help unless they ask.
Even after asking for my help and hearing my suggestions, they often still ignore it. As long as their work are not directly affecting my work, I will let them do whatever they want -
You do know that game dev is one of the lowest paid and overworked position right?
Companies are taking advantage knowing that these devs are so passionate about this field. -
As someone who likes fish/seafood in general, I do not want to taste fish in food other than fish
-
I used to be jealous of my siblings getting more attention/support from my mom.
Now not anymore. She can do whatever she wants with her money, even give my siblings all of inheritance without a cent towards me, I still won't be jealous. Why? Because my (actual + potential) net worth is much higher than theirs.

Lots of helpful tips there -
Yep, I am pretty easily offended lately.
Turns out it's a sign of burnout...
Gotta lessen my workload somehow otherwise I won't survive
🤷🏻♀️ -
@lungdart
In my experience, the ex basement dwellers/nerds are the ones who are good devs.
The ones who aren't are those people jumping to tech only for money/clout without passion. -
But what's the purpose of second function returning null though?
Can't imagine a scenario where this is necessary.
Did you set it for testing/debugging and forgot to remove it? -
Nice ....
But what kind of alien language is this? -
Same, the difference is that I am working for a government agency instead
We have consumed 3-5x the original budget for this project and it's not finished yet. I can't do anything about it as I am only low level engineer here 🤷🏻♀️ -
@jestdotty
😂
It's actually one of the sources of my high blood pressure -
@asgs
A PhD is not a requirement. We have several people with STEM background (non-CS). I have a master and a lot people with bachelor degree.
To be fair, he's not really that bad, he managed to finish several of the tasks assigned to him. It's just that I expect more of him as he has a PhD and several YOE.
I was hoping that he can be my peer, discussing and exchanging ideas. Instead I feel like I am babysitting him, even though we're on the same level
. -
@jestdotty
I see, that's an interesting view.
I am just so used to dev working independently that I am quite shocked I met someone with enough experience behaving like him.
He won't survive in our company if he keeps that attitude.
@SidTheITGuy
I told him that the other day, let him work alone, but as a result, he accomplished nothing until the end of the day 😬 -
My senior is like that, though I don't know what the source of his stress is (job is stressful but not to the point of eating oneself to death).
His house is 20 min walk from the office and he prefers to drive a car to get there 3x a week 🤷🏻♀️ -
@CoreFusionX
That could be one of the problem, but certainly not the main one.
This issue also happens in a lot of other non-tech depts, where people there are eager to get into management to get bigger check. Yet they always prioritize external candidates. -
Why *daily* stand up meeting though?
Unless your team is in devops/IT that's time sensitive (like managing online services), I don't see a point. As a developer, I hate it, I will not have much progress from yesterday to report.
Ideally once a week is enough, I can still tolerate twice a week, but daily? Meh..🤷🏻♀️ -
Me.
Combine that with an annoying and arrogant senior.
I am waiting if they are gonna give me enough raise this year to deal with all these BS.
If not, then I am out of here -
Same, I skip the whole bunch of paragraphs and only focus on the code.
If I don't understand the code, then I search the explanation in the paragraphs.
I know this is not a good practice... ☹
I also don't know if it's because of my autism that I am bad at R/W texts but very good with symbol/number -
-3h
because I often finish my work earlier, and spend the rest of the day doom-scrolling social media. -
Am I the only one here who prefer to work in small team of 3 people than a team with 40 people?
🤔
