Isn't the question a crosspost from https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/... :D

If you are curious, it went viral (at least for him) and he got a lot of backlash. Reading those comments was also fun.

@Wisecrack there is also a second discord server with other and older members.

Still quite active https://discord.gg/2gEUWvkyMc

@CodeTalker I have tagged you since you requested it on discord.

@iiii thanks!

@iiii Mind sharing the discord?

@antigermanist Sign me up... Oh wait

Is there a discord or telegram or something where the other DR users are on?

Would be a shame if we lose everyone

@D-4got10-01 this company exists for 11 years surprisingly.

for context, a scrapped feature had over 200 iterations that they want to have saved.

Second time in the past 30 days and they also destroyed part of our fence. I love it when the contract goes the lowest bidder.

@cprn Already handed in my resignation. If I didn't do it, my severance package would be the legal minimum. I've never heard in this company that they are offered anyhing more.

It's a company of 35 people so I don't expect anything special compared to Intel or something

@Ranchonyx It retrieves data about conversations, related tickets, priorities, categories, ...

Front-end colleague fixed the query and executation time dropped to 0.085 seconds. It now runs around 835x faster and the output is correct.

@AlgoRythm Around 5k characters is just stuff like "status"."id" AS "status_id". The word " AS " is found 100 times in the query.

I'm not a back-end developer but that looks like shit.

@Lensflare 16 records in that table of a new feature that is in prod but a few customers have access to it.

@TeachMeCode You bet especially if it is a +2h commute one way to play 10 minutes ping pong after your working hours.

Thanks antigermanist

Quote "xyz needs some time for herself to get some things together in her private life. The results were not as planned"

Just say that she did not sell enough instead of trying to put the blame on her as a person instead of her professionally.

@wojtek322 Also, I was an idiot and carpooled together with an other colleague so I could not leave earlier. Lesson learned

@Lensflare yes, our revenue was negative so their idea was to do a table tennis tournament amongst colleagues to boost morale.

We had to play vs a colleague decided by a raffle and had to travel 2h to him (he had to travel +1h). Played 10 min of table tennis but the ping pong table was still folded away and got pulled out 30 min after my working hours ended. Played a game and fucked off. I left home at 07:00 and came home at 20:45. Love me some traffic jams also.

@Grumm ikr!

@jestdotty Well, depending on our financial state of our last quarter... I don't think there will be a raise. :D

@Grumm Our back-end is a bit more complex than a CRUD-application. The admin panel, frontend and database is updated correctly.

But there is no behaviour yet connected to those properties. Or if there is one, we don't have the needed devices to test it out on lab environment. All the available devices we have are connected to our production environment which we cannot change without weeks of delay haha

@jestdotty I'm also confused but I'm not paid enough to question it. Knowing him, he'll test it in production :D

@retoor I would not describe it as a good environment. Certainly not a healthy company. I expected with how the company functions that we would be leading losses for the last 3 years, not just now. We have insane high turnover rate.

At least my time at the company was not really boring.

@tosensei The weird thing that he is not an incompetent developer

He is just a fanboy of every current tech. He was also an NFT & crypto bro... And now vibe coding is the latest fad

@retoor they don't even know the features that they want to have in the application. We don't even know how big the app will be.

But we are certain the app will be redesigned at least 3 times before it is being shipped.

They approved it the next day and today they already abandoned it. :D

6 days, even worse than expected!

@Grumm I did. My colleague was a bit more hopeful haha

@donkulator yes, legally they have to.

@Lensflare He did not even start yet at the company. He was fired before his first day but already signed the contract so they got to pay him out :p

For context, our revenue so far is -100k for 2025 and they are cutting costs. We usually make 200k profit per quarter so they are panicking.

And they got AI for marketing ads now and it's sooooo bad.
