The morons at work state the obvious like it’s a goddamn epiphany, and get cheered or publicly rebuked based entirely on their standing within company politics.

“While writing code, think of performance. Performance is everyone’s job, and it doesn’t take much effort to write much more performant code.”
> Premature optimization! BOOO! You should be ashamed! Move fast and break things OR ELSE.

“Security isn’t profit driven, but allows us to retain customers and therefore profit. Everyone should be security conscious and work with the security team *before* releases”
> BOOOO! Do your job! Don’t tell devs how to do theirs!

“Being reactive is good, but we should focus more on recovering from outages faster!”
> YAAAY! GENIUS!

ffs.

    Any prospects of escaping that communist state?

    Boise is pretty liberal, but lots of tech jobs out that way. East Idaho is pretty shitty for programming jobs though.

    @YourMom Not a single response to my last twenty applications. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I’m beginning to think I need to rewrite my resume in such a way it isn’t auto-rejected by the new AI HR tools. Just not sure how to do that yet.

    And yeah, there’s certainly nothing local.

    Sounds like one of those 'Damned if you do, damned if you don't' scenarios.

    Those topics kinda remind me of the motivational posters you can see on the office's walls to give one a false sense of the utopia.

    ...at least in a circus you get to see the monkeys. The subjects described here appear to be less intelligent.

    One of many reasons I decided this year not to do this full time anymore. Not sure if I’ll make as much money but dammit I’m 40, don’t care as long as I’m happy. Tired of this crap
