Manager: "add this"
Me: *adds the thing*

One week later:
Manager: "Remove this we don't want it anymore"
Me: Fuuuuuuuckkkkk

@iiii my manager is an asshole generally. He doesn't listen. I'm a senior but not a fucking ounce of respect.

Job security

`git revert` got your back

well he's paying you to waste your time. you get paid for all that time. and their product goes nowhere. sounds like not my problem

That manager sounds like a designer I met at my second job...

"OMG WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE THIS SPRINT" rant incoming. But been there, kinda sucks though I tend to then just make it "my" code ;P

@retoor Nah. A good designer comes up w/ something that sticks or needs only small tweaks.

A designer that keeps redesigning things frequently is a bad one.

I've seen too many of the latter type.

@D-4got10-01 yeah, everyone can be a designer. It's funny how much of a difference it makes like you're saying between a good and a bad one. Telling them that one part of the UI would take a lot of work because of a technical reason (e.g. transparency or something) and them understanding and being ok with that is also a good hallmark IMO

@BordedDev Yup. A good designer should also be wary of platform limitations, as well as listen to feedback, you mentioned.

Definitely !keeping the attitude of 'I need to see it working to make the judgment.'.

@iiii huh that is the real world though

there is stuff I know so this is braindead, and there is stuff I don't so I can't tell you the estimates and I might rewrite it a couple times even before I'm satisfied (which is fun but I can tell it's more-so for my benefit!)

practice sounds really weird. this isn't like a sport. you already know how to type
