@cprn Already handed in my resignation. If I didn't do it, my severance package would be the legal minimum. I've never heard in this company that they are offered anyhing more.

It's a company of 35 people so I don't expect anything special compared to Intel or something

@Ranchonyx It retrieves data about conversations, related tickets, priorities, categories, ...

Front-end colleague fixed the query and executation time dropped to 0.085 seconds. It now runs around 835x faster and the output is correct.

@AlgoRythm Around 5k characters is just stuff like "status"."id" AS "status_id". The word " AS " is found 100 times in the query.

I'm not a back-end developer but that looks like shit.

@Lensflare 16 records in that table of a new feature that is in prod but a few customers have access to it.

@TeachMeCode You bet especially if it is a +2h commute one way to play 10 minutes ping pong after your working hours.

Thanks antigermanist

Quote "xyz needs some time for herself to get some things together in her private life. The results were not as planned"

Just say that she did not sell enough instead of trying to put the blame on her as a person instead of her professionally.

@wojtek322 Also, I was an idiot and carpooled together with an other colleague so I could not leave earlier. Lesson learned

@Lensflare yes, our revenue was negative so their idea was to do a table tennis tournament amongst colleagues to boost morale.

We had to play vs a colleague decided by a raffle and had to travel 2h to him (he had to travel +1h). Played 10 min of table tennis but the ping pong table was still folded away and got pulled out 30 min after my working hours ended. Played a game and fucked off. I left home at 07:00 and came home at 20:45. Love me some traffic jams also.

@Grumm ikr!

@jestdotty Well, depending on our financial state of our last quarter... I don't think there will be a raise. :D

@Grumm Our back-end is a bit more complex than a CRUD-application. The admin panel, frontend and database is updated correctly.

But there is no behaviour yet connected to those properties. Or if there is one, we don't have the needed devices to test it out on lab environment. All the available devices we have are connected to our production environment which we cannot change without weeks of delay haha

@jestdotty I'm also confused but I'm not paid enough to question it. Knowing him, he'll test it in production :D

@retoor I would not describe it as a good environment. Certainly not a healthy company. I expected with how the company functions that we would be leading losses for the last 3 years, not just now. We have insane high turnover rate.

At least my time at the company was not really boring.

@tosensei The weird thing that he is not an incompetent developer

He is just a fanboy of every current tech. He was also an NFT & crypto bro... And now vibe coding is the latest fad

@retoor they don't even know the features that they want to have in the application. We don't even know how big the app will be.

But we are certain the app will be redesigned at least 3 times before it is being shipped.

They approved it the next day and today they already abandoned it. :D

6 days, even worse than expected!

@Grumm I did. My colleague was a bit more hopeful haha

@donkulator yes, legally they have to.

@Lensflare He did not even start yet at the company. He was fired before his first day but already signed the contract so they got to pay him out :p

For context, our revenue so far is -100k for 2025 and they are cutting costs. We usually make 200k profit per quarter so they are panicking.

And they got AI for marketing ads now and it's sooooo bad.

@jestdotty No idea how much they really ask for so I cannot say it for certain.

But I think; it's like €30-€100 per user per month + €200 initial setup cost

@max19931 90% work, 10% private

@osx94 Our previous goals (and also bonus) were barely met or failed by a few percentage.

But this is not even 30% completed.

@Hazarth Knowing my CEO, it won't :D

@retoor yes, our company sells only 1 service via different products. That server is responsible for the service that users wants to use our system.

Our API, database, ... is still working but users do not care about this if the key functionality is now breaking.

Compare it to a messaging app. you can see all chat history & all contacts but cannot send or receive messages. Users would be very unhappy.

@AlgoRythm yes, he was holding the phone.

Shoving a grandma to the ground (and potentially causing some damage to her) and stealing her purse would be a less severe punishment

@cafecortado it is planned at 16:00. What an odd time

@lorentz he is a consultant at that company so different rules fot sure

@retoor I think the main target of "AI friends" will be the lonely introverts than extroverts. There is real loneliness epidemic going on and a lot of (younger) people crave social contact or something that looks like it.

@retoor Yes, even had to troubleshoot some issue at a customer. Stupid hardware acceleration :D

i need a different job but there are no job openings nearby :(
