I hate how true this is. Not even 2 years later for my case.

All the projects that have shittier outcomes in my experience is always waterfall. This is mainly because the stakeholders usually have this bright idea to be added in the middle of development that’s really need to be added at all costs and then got angry when the timeline got pushed because of their fucking request breaking a lot of shit.

At least scrum has a lead time of around 2 weeks so that when someone has a idea we can tell them we’ll add it to the backlog and hope they forgot about it during the next sprint planning.

I mostly use Firefox, so I develop on Firefox and check other browsers for issues. That way, I can make sure the app and websites I’m working on still work on Firefox.

A mere fender bender on a car might be a life or death situation if you’re riding a motorcycle.

Hmm. It seems that Sync posted my draft comment 😔

Especially with the technological advances in solar energy we have a much cheaper and easier method of generating energy. My parents neighbor installed one and he told me his electricity bill is basically 3 dollar per month now. Although it costed him around 10k to install.

He’s not even the director.

Same for me. Reported this post for misleading image (👁 ͜ʖ👁)

I actually started at my current company when there were only 12 employees total. Now we’re 100+ employees. I witnessed the shift from a small company to medium sized.

When I started, the CEO was very present in day to day operations in the company. We hold a weekly meeting and everyone gets to share their updates and the CEO is involved in the day-to-day operations in the projects.

I lucked out having an excellent CEO so my experience is great when we’re at the small company stage. However since we’ve scaled up to be more than 100 employees there’s already middle management and what we did needs to be filtered thru the middle management.

Unfortunately the middle management layer is not as great as the CEO. So I’ve been contemplating moving to another company but the pay is good and I work remotely, but I’ve been looking around to see if there’s better options.

Ahh, Elite: Dangerous. My pandemic times game. Played that shit almost religiously until Odyssey came out and tanked performance and burned me out of the game. Did manage to go into Sag A* before I stopped playing.

The shitty thing is, compared to drug addiction if you ODed usually you’re the only one who got injured. But with gambling debt, even if you’re already sleeping with the fishes, sometimes they still go after your family or business partners. That’s what basically happened to my friend, his business partner drowned in debt, stole money from their business ventures and ran away, he’s the one who must pay the debt because the dude promised he’ll pay back after their business is up and running.

What if you live in a country that doesn’t send any money to Israel? Also, boycotts do work.

It took a special kind of sociopath to think yourself the best person to decide on which laws should be followed by millions of people. Civilization is inherently doomed to collapse. You just need to know whether you’re at the tail end of one to make a decision whether you want to prepare for the collapse to survive to live few years longer or just welcome the destruction and maybe your consciousness will reform sometime in the future.

It’s better for discovery, just casually browse and just block the communities that you don’t like. Much better for discovery.

Ohhh that’s me right now. I work in a consultancy and I only got assigned to projects that are on fire. It’s almost 24 months without a gap between projects. Help me ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

A good PM is rare because as soon as you get one, they’ll get poached within a few months.

It’s only scary if you’re incompetent.

It might be difficult as Israel has threatened the use of Nuclear weaponry in the past if the US were to stop their aid.

In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. The Israeli Ambassador informed President Nixon that “very serious conclusions” may occur if the United States did not airlift supplies. Nixon complied. This is seen by some commentators on the subject as the first threat of the use of the Samson Option.

My company started with full stack devs only and we’ve transitioned to specialized back end and front end since we realized that 1 specialized BE Engineer and 1 specialized FE Engineer can work faster with better quality than having 2 Full Stack Engineers.

I usually just do what they requested and when they come to complain I just tell them “well, you’re the one who requested this” and pull up receipts. My DM to myself on Slack is filled with screenshots and links to confirmations for bullshit requests that the product team made.
