I’m convinced that’s ment to get people riled up.

Damn that’s some spicy takes lol.

There needs to be a last panel where its the final version. Like when the car is turned on:

1. Waterfall: It becomes a clown car and more people than it could handle is inside causing it to explode. Or is left as half finished because they ran out of money.
2. Agile: Only the wheels go forward, rest of car stays.
3. AI: The car goes straight up, not forward.
4. Anger: Developer becomes angry at the car. Kicks it until it becomes a bike and rides off.

I once had a company give me a take home assignment on bitbucket. Private repo. Got the work, made the API endpoint that did the thing.

Followed up with them. No response. Nothing for a week. Then suddenly I get an email that they merged my code and they forgot that I had access to the repo. I could see that they were selectively merging canadates code into their own system. When I asked them with a followup if they had any questions on the code, no response and suddenly I had no access on the git side.

Yeah they were crowd sourcing an app. I just did a bunch of free work. Never again. Nowadays I just reject jobs that require any coding outside an interview. It’s a two way street, it’s not worth giving people free work.

I love it! Thanks!!

This is so accurate lol.

I would love one that is pain driven development. Because the only thing that actually gets done is triage.

Probably.

But teams has messed up in another work place before as well. The October update in 2023 borked the entire office at a completely different workplace. Fun times.

I hate teams. We use it for work and everyone just haaaates it. OAuth half the time doesn’t work, so we have to go to the browser.

Windows updates have broken it and it wont open as an app a couple of times. It takes up an obscene amount of CPU just sitting there being an electron app. My work windows box has about 2x the specs of my laptop and my laptop runs sooo much faster than windows/teams bs. Windows 11 is going to use react on the start bar…and I cant imagine what this is going to look like with teams on top. I wish we got linux/*NIX machines to work with like my last job.

Lol that’s what I get for no coffee today. I’ll keep it up for a laugh.

Yeah gotta love that report that takes an exorbitant amount of time to make…which is no longer used/only used for a tiny bit each year.

At work, we have a system that has not been updated in many MANY years. Its essential, but because of budget constraints, we cannot update it. Also the new system is SaaS and is 10x (no joke) expensive.

We had around 10 people entering the same documents into the system in a typical form. Its a variation on three different criteria. They spent 40 hours a day just doing this work…

I got tired of having to pull info out of the system and automated it away with Selenium. When my manager saw what it could do, he asked if the document side of things could be done the same way. I created a prototype and boom, solution complete. It been stable for close to a year now. The 10 people now have new responsibilities (most making more $$ from what I hear).

But like the picture above, its a Jank solution. It literally just runs 24x7 throwing things from one system into another system, then pulls the info into another system. And you can see the screen running. But it does work…so im going to call it a success(?)

Are there computers in heaven/hell?

God damn where did he end up? Working for swagger or something?

Theres been a LOT of bots on github lately. They mass follow each other. Its pretty easy to see them as they will have 1k+ followers and follow just as many. Theres growing scams and acounts where you can buy GH accounts online that are “primed” with followers so your account looks good.
