That day has finally come

Tell us more. I smell a good story.

@LordPeeve Fuck yeah!!! same here. Just told my boss.

Wish you all the best!

Lets hope for a better future and that it will be as good as we imagine.

@fuzzyT Wish you all the best mate, it can only go up from here :)

I'm gonna save this image for my future self. I could really use it soon.

@no-oxygen, @saiij

I did not want to bore ya'll with my story. It's the oldest story in "dev's life" book. Started great and over the course of a year it just kept getting worse. And by worse I mean neo-corporate cool-aid BS where it's all about:

I'm sure each of the points could a be a massive rant but here's an abridged version in two parts.

[PART 1]

* Talking about having a great culture but never do anything about achieving it

* meetings === work

* More meetings === more work

* Agile is some word that everyone outside delivery just uses to trick devs into making changes as quickly as they change their minds but still adhere to the same deadlines

* On average we spend 4 months to hire new devs as we only hire candidates that are genuinely strong in their domain (iOS, Android, Security, Web...) but they end up leaving within 3-6 months and I can't blame them for leaving

[PART 2]

* As a dev you need a top-tier skills to get hired. But any fuckwit who owns a Mac can get a job as a UX/designer

* The afore mentioned designers are defining "visual requirements" that are just mental but they "look cool" and "might win a design award"... your "designs" might win that award, but will most certanly reduce our customer base to 0!

* I'm tired of building Android apps using a single non-arguable requirement: "Just copy how iOS team has done it"

* Did I miss a memo where iOS become a baseline and a benchmark for Android UX/UI? I haven't checked my junk folder since Windows won the award for most secure OS...

* The office where a dev has no chance of getting a laptop, 2 screens, a fixed desk and a quiet surrounding is not a place I want to call "my" nor "a workplace"

@antorqs Hope you can avoid quitting but if it gets to that point do it with class :)

There were other good candidates for the meme (link https://sayingimages.com/i-quit-mem...), but this one reflects the exact smile I had when I woke up today :)
