are you Dutch?

@spongessuck php3

@LotsOfCaffeine you bet it's about the salary. My base salary is under 100k at a company whose name you know, and whose services you might have used.

htf is Jase?

top priority

you sir are evil

@ThatDevDude If I were you, I would conspire with my colleagues in a sort of mini-union fashion to just not do it and let the stupid fucks gargle on their own balls.

@Fast-Nop
> tell your PM that you typically don't do unpaid overtime

sassy

I had it better, got hired and discovered they wanted the whole e-learning platform with payments integration, distributed tasks processing, scores bookkeeping, progress bookkeeping, events monitoring, caching, stress testing, integration and sync with a legacy platform which would eventually be decomissioned etcetera. done 3 weeks before I joined.

is this for real??

If a reviewer writes only ond thread mentioning recurrences, the chance is the pull request owner might not change the other lines.... happened to me...

I also preffer upper.

@Midnight-shcode the thing is, I did intend to say "my day is over so fuck off" 🤣🤣 . I was fed up with a lot of bullshit and chaos. I effectively ended the contract a month later.

If it were a better company or team I would've probably be more pro-active and do work over-time especially if the delay was on the devs side, but in this case the eng. manager had set an out-of-the-ass deadline and made unreasonable demands.

After 10 years as a professional programmer I still forget to run "npm install"

@melezorus34 that would be confusing. I prefer detecting the browser and posting something "your browser is not supported please choose one of these awesome browsers"

Is it relevant in any way that the designer is from Romania?

what the actual f#$% society do we live in?! ..where a person's life is only worth as much as he/she generates profit?! FFFF%%%%@@@@&&&!!!

I stumbled upon this website for comparisons/reviews/etc. on PC hardware: https://tomshardware.com/best-picks...

I like how it's all your fault ... :grimacing:

"experts"

And this is why you hide social media from your coworkers, especially ones above in hierarchy.

@agalin920 I disagree totally for the following reasons:

On a general level:

- promotions should be based on consistent efforts throughout the project, not on last minute struggles

- enabling the manager to believe that he/she can do whatever it wants with your life is damaging for a number of reasons

- having to do overtime in the last minute means there was a management failure of not ensuring a smooth sail

On this specific project:

- the deadline was artificial and not based on actual sensible estimations (manager never asked)

- there was no release plan, or if there was one it was vague

- other devs were not as invested as I was... especially because they were third-party and didn't care. I personally contributed 30% to the whole project compared to the rest of the devs (and no I don't have a superiority complex, actually I think poorly about myself)

Well you could at least use mandatory (CI) type hinting validation

what country?

@AlmondSauce both (I didn't know the real $ deal until 1 year later), and the client didn't know he was charged for extra stuff that were just made up.

@AlmondSauce you wanna know how much he leached? 80.000 euros

@asgs well there was manual QA, and they did check the individual features, but the manager wanted me and another dev to do some sort of "validation tests" that everything is working fine, with the mantra that "devs should be involved in all processes and take full responsibility for their code" which I agree, and I am happy to do ...but not like right before the launch.

oh and ...there was no "release plan"

@dissolvedgirl If I were you I would take the team leader in a face-to-face private conversation and tell him /her that I do not wish to join these standups anymore because they are a waste of time for you and that the information that people contribute to this meeting is irrelevant for the other parties. If the team lead insists that this is good I would go and ask why and what are the exact pieces of information that contribute to your productivity and better execution, and then let him/her give concrete examples. If he/she can't produce concrete examples I would just shove it in his/her face that it is BS.

@Hazarth oh ffs

@Voxera it did already. I have more rants about that "partnership" (will do more rants later)
