@SlowlyButSurly i see your point. but I prefer open, transparent and constructive communication, so talking about it only in my exit interview would be way to late, in my opinion. before handing my notice, i have a lot of chances to speak up about my problems and struggles. maybe things can be changed to the better. but if i feel like nobody takes my concerns seriously, then it is time to leave...

in this case, however, talking directly with the abuser didn't help at all. it only gave me some papertrail so i could prove that at least i tried to resolve the situation in a constructive way and it wasn't my fault...

@SidTheITGuy had you there 🤡

i can recommend speed cubes, they are much easier and smoother to play with. It's the perfect distraction while building or sitting in long meetings

wow, these comments are so destructive and disrespectful... and not helpful at all. it is their job to support you in case of difficulties or if there's anything unclear. that's how it should be.
seniors aren't omniscient, in this job this is virtually impossible...

@jacquelynnorris wtf that sounds like it's from a dystopian novel 😅 in which country to you live?

spontaneously, i'd say:

- split most significant coins into n piles (with n=4 in this case)
- if count(most significant coins) is no multiple of n, fill piles with smaller values with combinations of less significant coins, preferring those with higher values (with criterion that pile has at least value of other piles, it might be bigger)
- repeat these 2 steps with remaining coins until they are used up
- if per each round, piles can not be set with the same values, balancing of these values is tried in the next round

not sure if this works or is understandable, i just woke up ._.

@rantsauce started watching, it's awesome

@kiki do you play chess? maybe it is a chess metaphor that you should accept new challenges or leave your comfort zone ^^

of course but make sure the firewall is activated

"test" IS a hot question (from dev's perspective) ^^

@rantsauce i guess.. 😅

@Jifuna @IntrusionCM thank you guys <3 :)

wtf is a computer operator? xD

super cute 😍 i guess everyone eats a whole row each?

@melezorus34 bonk

so you're telling me that i actually *don't* want to date grumpy, introverted nerds? that can't be true 🙈 ^^

ask them to vertically center a div

our world in a nutshell

is this a statement or a command?

a colleague shared his screen some days ago and i saw him use powershell with white background. i don't know why but i thought that really has something, it's so weird that it's got some style again

this is exactly how i feel today xD feel ya.

i actually like summer, but right now i can't wait for some cooler temperatures..

very relatable xD that guy in the picture is me

@CodingPeasant i think we can see it as mutual ̶p̶i̶z̶z̶a̶ ̶o̶r̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ coaching, ̶b̶u̶l̶l̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ knowledge exchange and sharing inspirational ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶r̶s̶ developers' insights, that can only be good for my career シ

also, found a good friend during studies :) @CodingPeasant

@Nanos no it's definitely from hitchhiker's guide (your 3rd link even says so ^^), it's from the 3rd book "life, universe and everything"

definitely a must read :)

@Nanos never read that, but sounds like a good idea.^^
my reference was from hitchhiker's guide (not sure which book tho)

the trick is to miss earth while falling, this is called flying

sounds like me, but at some point in life i decided to set browser settings that tabs are always deleted after exiting the browser, as well as cookies etc. it was a good choice. every day feels like a new day, and if i didn't set a bookmark and forgot what a tab was about, then it wasn't that important.

@netikras
"But give him a benefit of the doubt and keep your mind open"

no, i'm beyond that. i've tried that half a year, and now my patience is gone.

@netikras
"Smells to me like a case of miscommunication"

well you think?

"I'd say he's actually got a good grip on what needs to be done"

no. all he can produce is hot steam with some abstract buzzwords, but whenever we try to go into details, the discussion gets confusing and often leads to nowhere, because he has no real concept. but when you're the PM and PO of a product and also act like god sent you and your technical expertise from heaven, then i fucking expect you to deliver some specific requirements to the team. which he never did. whenever requirements get more specific, they are inconsistent, incomplete, there is no concept of integrating them and it is also not clear how they fit with the overall vision, and also they change from time to time. this sprint, there is this super essential library that i have to implement. the next sprint, fuck this library, now i have to work on this amazing architecture topic, and the next sprint, fuck that too.

@magicMirror yeah, that's exactly what is happening right now. i expect that in a matter of time there won't be any team left to "manage". also, gossip has it that management has finally started to realize that he is bullshitting them as well.

and yeah he completely fucks our scrum braindead, but whenever we criticize our scrum, he says we stupid clueless devs "still have to learn a lot about the scrum process"...
