@M1sf3t get me a duck, then (Groucho Marx)

I think electric chair set to "short shocks for long term pain" will be best

@rutee07 very creative as always :-D

BTW Testing DOESNT improve code quality.
Actually the contrary, you can leave the code quality like shit if tests are working.

You can refactor later if and when necessary, or not.

Testing improve the overall development and deployment process

Without testing, you have 2 options

- hire or buy monkeys to do manual testing.
Selling testing monkeys it's a very profitable business for outsourcing software companies.
Monkeys are easy to find, cheap and replaceable.
On the contrary, developers with testing in mind are expensive, difficult to find, with horrible personal traits and ambitious.

- hire a Powerful Key Account Manager that plays golf with other CEOs. So whenever horrible bugs arise or quality is below standards, he can just fix things in business way. It's more expensive, but sometimes more effective

Make your choice

@Benedikt or HR not being a dick

@Cultist unfortunately there is a thing called "inertia": things last longer than they should

@rutee07 remember that if one day you'll be managing a team...

@Cultist I can feel you really helped people, your way of thinking is very clear. Probably I thought most of the things you say by myself, but read them from somebody else is different, and helpful. Thanks

@Cultist I just tried to do that today before reading you comment. You explained it very well. Maybe I was not as good as you described, but I tried it.

I got an "answer". well. So goes:

Then investor lent us money in the past. But we finished the money, so we borrowed from a bank, but we finished that as well. But the investor company is in reality a subsidiary of the bank, so now UNDER THE CONDITION that we hire immediately the company proposed by the investor, the bank is willing to give us a "bridge loan"

I was thinking tech, they are thinking money laundering?. The cofounders CFO and CEO are also sick and tired of the company, they probably want to get out and keep only shares.

I feel stupid.
A stupid guy with open eyes looking at the ceiling of his bedroom.
fuck

@Teknas I worked 10 years in the project that I started myself. I won't find easily another job of that kind. My pay grade will be cut by 1/3. I'll hardly find a job at my age

@arcsector After the meeting in the evening this guy sent me an email, fixing the dates of the transfer of knowledge. The next week.

I can take some times, but I will be on holiday at the beginning of august and the other developer will take over the transfer.

I think is really over for me

@Root I have no much choice. I can't refuse to transfer my knowledge. If I resign, the other programmer will transfer the knowledge.

I don't know exactly how to protect myself

@Fast-Nop very complex subject. This short video of famous Ronaldo soccer player made me think.

About choices, education, freedom, bias:
https://youtube.com/watch/...

@Fast-Nop the only "defense" I can find for him is that HE thinks that WE think that a woman as less abilities so he want to help us overcoming our bias.
But it's still very lame and he is actually strengthening the stereotype, highlighting that she has a lot of "balls".

(why balls are better than ovaries anyway?)

it's really all very sad

@heyheni no, I have problems working with people in a management position saying that kind of things

great story, It's a shame for us that you changed for a better job...

@C0D4 your ending it's the same in our case, except that the sale guy stays.
And he is the boss of the company.
And I'm feed up
And I would like to hang him with a rope made out of the skin of his own balls.

if you are able to code them, and they are usable by others, that's great.
Most of tools I do are done in such a hurry that I'm the only one to understand them....

@IntrusionCM @chabad360 just dealing with SACK panic kernel bug in these days

@chabad360 how? well... the moron setup a NAS con ssh access: user:root, pwd:root and wrote it down on a postit on his desk

@chabad360 ahahah yes, but I will just write a simple script encrypting all files on disk of the victim and I will install it personally on his computer. I'll be the spreading agent

how much?

all my functions are impure as pigs.
With hundred of side-effects including developer headache.

@rutee07 yes the projector it's like most of people in the room, turned on

@platypus maybe you see them like that because you never had a Love Meeting with them

@electrineer well you know, meetings always tends to last longer than planned

I imagine some "refactor" later, some new programmer, forced by new requirements, changing this with:

if ( $full == 'empty')

@heyheni well, my post was actually inspired by a mega meeting I had with a mega boss.
He said literally: "there is not enough love in this company"

I like to use a fixed calculation rule, so I don't have to remember anything nor using any pwd generator.
Like for example: substitute url vowels with o, first letter uppercase, add .0.
For devrant.com would be:
Dovrontcom.0

pass 98% of tests
