Judge Schnoopy posted:To me it's an equation of time. I only have so many hours in the day and most of them are spent building the product. The product team is designed to spend all of their time focusing on customers. I can't be effective while focusing on customers and product isn't going to be effective focusing on how the solution is built.

Vulture Culture posted:My org has, for a long time, had one extremely good product manager and a bunch of other PMs who stare at him while he singlehandedly absorbs every product do you work for my company? (I feel bad for our PM but I feel like she needs to let other projects sink instead of taking on the responsibility)

Several times I walked through a new process with him on the whiteboard, then after explaining it realized there was a smaller portion of the work that could be delivered independently before the whole. I dunno if "business value rubber duck" looks good on a resume, though.

Vulture Culture posted:Healthy teams quite often have backlogs that are months long and not nearly enough time to do all the work they need to ship high-quality software. Haha, yeah, healthy teams do this, yeah…  No, it hasn’t gotten any better here. In fact, I ended up taking the afternoon off yesterday because of a depression spike/mental health downturn. I’m okay now, but gently caress man.

*a customer report comes in that prod is down, issue is quickly validated as universal, failing API is identified, and automated alarms trigger within a few minutes* Golly gee! Service X went down?? poo poo, they're usually rock solid. Huh, looks like they've got an active ticket and it seems they think this is isolated to their testing stage?? Boy, better make sure they're aware this is a broader issue because surely our production environment isn't pointed at their unstable testing environment, right? Right?

I was wanting to get our own Wiki section on our company's wiki. To document their own loving old rear end i Series based ERP, of all things, because whenever someone in the factory has issues, they contact me/us. Apparently it wasn't possible, because they were using XWiki and there were issues due to lovely configuration and security setup. I was being reassured that something new was coming. "Confluence" was mentioned several times. I thought "sure, whatevs". They've finally "rolled it out". (As in, paying for a cloud-based solution.) What in the gently caress is this poo poo?!  What riles me up the worst are these centered tables.

I thought a product managers job was to fiddle with monday.com for things that are already being tracked and worked on in gitlab

Until someone noticed that it doesn't respect access restrictions and will gleefully provide answers / snippets of content you're not legally allowed to see. That was a fun 4-6 hours.

I saw the "enable Atlassian AI" ticket show up in the queue and immediately wanted to see if I could get away with quietly deleting it

We ran into a similar thing with O365 Copilot, but with self-inflicted access control issues. A bunch of people put tax documents in OneDrive with open permissions, and Copilot was really good at finding them.

We just migrated our tiny server instance to atlassian's cloud, and it's very funny/sad to me how "cloud" is probably going to become a swear-word in healthcare pretty soon. All the HIPAA stuff is on, so we aren't dealing with the AI crawler thank god. But at some point I fully expect someone in the US federal government to see how fast and loose cloud providers play with server locations and the like. There's an absolute treasure trove of HIPAA data stored overseas and both parties love nothing if not trumped-up xenophobic nonsense. Encryption helps, but with the level of intrusiveness some of the services from the last decade have, your org is putting itself at the mercy of Amazon's willingness to do anything to save a nickel for your physical server security. Like, wouldn't it be cool if that terrifying CCP happened to find Biden's health record and sent it to FoxNews?

Hey, remember when every federal employee's PII was stolen and the response was... I'm not optimistic until someone very important ends up very embarrassed.

We're in a Reagan 2: Electric Boogaloo era of deregulation where the regulations exist on paper but everyone basically just ignores them because every politician wants to see econometric go up. I've interviewed with a number of health tech startups over the past few years, and you'd be stunned what companies are getting away with even with HITRUST, ISO, etc. auditors coming around every few months. Having real-world experience in one of these compliance areas is something that will actually make new companies not hire you, because they will absolutely not invest in it, and they will lose plausible deniability when something happens. The auditors are slowly doing their jobs in a more and more lax way because there's huge financial incentives to be invited back for the next audit. HIPAA in its current form offers the possibility of jail time if there's another Jussie Smollett situation where hospital employees are literally selling access to health records for profit. For most companies that are garden-variety negligent, breaches don't affect stock performance and the penalties are never costly enough to really impact operations. The fines are just a cost of doing business, like how NYC contractors' estimates pad for anticipated parking tickets. From a CFO perspective, the best way to manage the financial risk is to move fast and grow grow grow, because if you don't, someone else who will is going to monopolize the market and eat you.

The latest VS Code update broke my color theme. I mean, latter hasn't been updated since somewhen 2021, so it was bound to happen. But still. It's like someone loving with your car seat. --edit: Nevermind, I see on the Github repo that this author started loving about with it, yesterday of all things.

Reminds me of our old corporate directory that let you search by job title. Which is completely useless unless you want to be able to get exact headcount for every position at every location, for “corporate research”. It was also super useful to see how few staff engineers we had given how many senior engineers wanted that promotion. Sadly, they changed it to a bad search that can’t even find by name half the time.
