@lotd Well that just sucks

bruH what the sh

@AleCx04 Thank you for the advice. It certainly gives me something to think about, regarding what I want to do going forward..

@AleCx04 From what I can tell, its fairly permanent. I don't see any signs of them wanting to remove that restriction.

To be honest, it would likely be easier to find a new position then to discuss payment. It's fairly easy to find a dev job over here provided you have a background, but the challenge is finding one that treats you respectfully and has seniority / team you can learn from (aka not highly outsourced).

I have spoken to my manager about it when the idea was proposed, but he seemed to insist on it just being a prototype and thus being 'easy' work. I wouldn't consider it easy to design, integrate, and head development for this - and its something I wouldn't want to do as a 'junior'.

I guess I'm just unsure if I am I just being defiant here, or am I justified in how I am feeling.

advice would be GREATLY appericated

Ancient history! :o

Visual Studio instantly compiling? Haha, maybe if you could ask NASA to borrow their computer...

@MarcoCeccon yeah, its on my life goal list

@Fast-Nop I can agree with that.. if he did take note. I can assure you he didn't

Its ok. We have code that still uses windows interop/com components, lmao

@QuanticoCEO sorry it was kind of obligatory to say that :p

I prefer my flat keyboards personally but I don think older models are bad per say

Ok boomer

@SortOfTested you know I really lost it when fuck becomes duck

@SortOfTested haha you found it! Minus the expression body approach - I don't think the devs here understand how to use that! :p

I don't think this is as funny as you think it is :p

To be fair I definitely prefer the former over the later. I find it much cleaner and gives a bit of a break between code lines.

But using network share drives instead of a repo is just gross

@matste 2012 called, it wants the word noob back lmao

Seriously though, I get what your saying, even if I disagree with your words. I do plan to do that for the most part, but I do wish i could do more about it :/

It's really frusterating to care about the product when most of the people working on it don't - and I find it very hard to feel motivated and interested in something I don't care about

The off shore devs have polluted the code base a lot.. I don't think in this case it was a valid choice..

Yeaah im the only non offshore and thus only non shitty dev. Im basically alone too!

Gahh it just angers me so much I hate it

Haha yep

@Devnergy some of us don't have a bazillion energy to just work all day. ^^;

Understandable. The software development career kind of sucks nowadays tbh. Thank you, outsourcing...

I used to answer managers at home. I.. Was very quickly exploited for this, with messages being sent at as late as 11pm.

Suffice to say, I say this a lot too now. :/

Ha. God I hate code freezes...

That is an eldritch horror from beyond the depths dear god

Burn it and put it out of its misery

Box kitty uwu

@FelisPhasma OF

This is my approach tbh

The ultimate goal of every strategy is to avoid refactoring as long as possible

That way we can make it someone else's problem when they mentally break down and refactor it finally themselves

I hate having copies of source code everywhere ffs
