-- How I feel at work lately, in terms my wife understands --

Me: There's a gas leak, we need to fix it.

Manager: Yeah, use some duct tape, here's a roll.

Me: That's not how we fix a problem like this.

Manager: Will it work to solve the problem?

Me: Only temporarily

Manager: Ask your co-worker if you need help using duct tape, he's used it before. When will it be fixed?

👏 bravo

The good ol' "permanent temporary solution". Thing is, there's so much turnover nowadays, your manager might not even be there when it'll break.

I feel this so much.

Let that snow ball roll!!!

I feel like nowadays devs change their company on every other completed pruoject, people don't care much because they won't be there if any issues arise.

Sometime it feels like receiving a chewed up gum instead of a roll of duct tape

My situation:

Development: Sir, we have a major gas leak.

Manager: What gas leak? I don’t smell anything.

Development: Sir, we really need to fix it. If anyone goes out for a smoke now..

Manager: i don’t hear a gasleak either. What are you talking about?

Development: Sir, this leak will blow up the building soon. Do you remember last year when this happened at the neighbours and we tried to warn them?

Manager: i’m hungry, let’s make some lunch!
