for which environment? VS is pretty powerful though.

O think we'd all like this but SO has the critical mass of anwsers.

@Raich someone must really hate you.

Visual studios

read programming sucks on still drinking

you need to plan a meeting like this with your manager and CIO then schedule it: 1. Lay out the requirements they are currently giving you and explain how this is enough work for (guessing) 1lead with 2-3 developers and that this is a steady state load that will just grow (you have to support and upgrade what you build); then ask them for help. you know they don't have the budget to resource you appropriately, and that they won't get it in the near term. So you need them as managers to prioritize the things from what are now needs, what are needs, and what goes in the want wait list. if you get push back ask them what they expect your steady state hours for week should be? if they can't do that after 90 days give 30 days notice and quit.

note. you gave to be able to be calm unemotional and factual to pull this off. practicing it with non-coworker friends and family helps a lot. the problem you are facing isn't a dev problem it is a management resourcrsing problem

@tisaconundrum one of your classmates asks something on stack overflow and then you lurk and notice the many articles on stack overflow's cultural intolerance on newbies. it makes sense in some ways but in others *sigh*. . .

@liveCoder making up reviews or getting your friends to make reviews when things break

Start documenting how much back end changes not being in sync break the build. use negative reviews from the users. don't sock puppet the reviews though.

@Jumpshot44 good point. I'll get that into the next cycle. it's a small shop so process improvement is key

what project type?

stack overflow rule 1 Someone else has probably asked it. That place is toxic to new questions. Ask carefully.

am I wrong thinking pushing untested code to prod is rather foolish?

visual studios SSIS module is a fricken bloodhound and an obstinate one.

@chickenbrain usually a good way to get people to be more efficient with your time, when climate allows.
