I am legit getting tired of trying to help people improve and hit huge roadblocks because nobody seem to care if what we do works for the intended purpose.

I have seen some terrible unstable code that fails 50% of the time on run time and never was reviewed or tested on core software, but since it was worth a lot of story points, people get congratulated for finishing it but nobody bothers checking if it really works in the first place. Story points are meaningless in this Agilefall Frankenstein shit process we use and bosses keep saying they will improve it but nothing gets done.

Worst thing is my work often depends on this shit.

I swear one of my good colleague and I are trying to introduce commit and PR gating, code review, code quality to avoid as much problems as possible while speeding up CI and documentation but 90% of devs do not give a single fuck about it. They just bypass it with admin rights because it supposedly slows them down.

When I bring up to management that the processes are terrible, I get the classic "we can't force people to use these processes because we have to respect their work ethics and it is different from yours." While I get that some things are subjective, in this case that's a lot of words to say they suck and give no fucks.

Sorry for the rant, it is starting affect my morale and efficiency at work, but I know every workplace got its problems.

    A pure shitshow judging from your words. A dev who doesnt put his/her code up for review in a teams work is a ticking time bomb.
    I would speak to my supervisor and closest dev colleagues and start to get things under control from there. If this is impossible I am looking for a better job and work only as much so nobody really notices and I am getting fired.
    Sometimes I wonder how companies like this can still exist. I have to empathy for this massive waste of everybodies time.

    Do not feel sorry for ranting, that's what DevRant is about in the first place, welcome!

    What you are describing , and already foreseeing, is that this company, and 90% of devs, are seriously taking a lot of technical debt.

    Another ranter here explained this really well. Maybe bring this up at next meeting, https://devrant.com/rants/4434072/...

    As a resource i would recommend you this as "evidence" of the benefit of the proposed way of working: https://pragprog.com/titles/...
