^^^ yeah this too, total “if you don’t respect me I won’t respect you” bullshit where two very different definitions if “respect” are used in the phrase Because of course he’s someone whose respect has to be “earned” instead of just loving respecting people to start with. fourwood fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Jun 1, 2018 |

That manager is bad, the company leadership that supports him is bad, and I would be pissed if the company is actually doing well to any degree. So far, the companies I’ve seen with such abhorrent people tend to repel good engineers (read: have employment options and take them) and over maybe a couple years of decline product falls apart, sales is unable to sell something so bad, etc. and the organization ultimately folds (the execs making off with the most because they are contractually given the most, just how it is) and a lot of the people that made the place terrible never learn they were part of the problem and they take their toxic behavior to another company, usually of similar tier. Note that I’m not implying lower or higher tiers of companies here; there are awful people from mom and pop shops all the way to the most prestigious, well known companies because being a bad person is orthogonal to getting and staying hired at most companies above individual contributors.

Constant abuse of subordinates to scar them for the rest of their lives is pretty bad, but I'm still angry about taking screenshots of code.Shirec posted:He also spent a while explaining his hiring strategy: he goes for new devs (especially those with career changes into dev) because they are anxious, grateful, and will take his orders no question. Apparently I fail on that regard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4BO542Ilh8

*~*~* stolen from tumbler originally ~*~*~ but: Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority” and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person” gently caress em & abandon em as fast as possible - they don't deserve your good work.

Do blow the whistle on the HIPPO violations.

In all honesty, it takes a whole lot of dumbness and delusion to get a team of 3 junior developers to build an infinitely scalable anything. This is a difficult thing to do, even for seasoned industry veteran with plenty of resources. Shirec boss sounds like a total twat that believes he possesses the knowledge to build good reliable software on the cheap because of... his uniqueness??? I don't know what's causing his skewed perception of reality but it's most likely related to his inflated sense of his ego... He's pathetic, leave him ASAP.

Like this gem https://twitter.com/PHP_CEO/status/844682275375775744 Just got done finishing out 3 issues in GitLab. I forgot my charger at the office so I couldn't finish the 4th one and I'm mildly anxious that I'll get in trouble about it on Monday. Also applied to a poo poo load of jobs. Speaking of which, apparently my boss has been incognito looking to see if I'm trying to get out. He's been trying to trip me up verbally, and has said it's trivial to find out when someone is looking for a new job (I think I turned my LinkedIn radar on), but I refuse to say one way or another. Farthest I have gone is saying that if we continue to be at loggerheads, I'd appreciate him elaborating what the other paths he has laid out entail.

My experience with SAFe has been generally positive, and my SAFe team has been the most effective team I participated in. What's with all the hate towards it? I will admit though, my other teams were either waterfall, a dumbass home-grown agilefall, and an agile team in an org that's only started implementing it.

I'm always a little mistrustful of acquisitions (for obvious reasons) but is there a particular reason to think that MS will gently caress up github? Their recent track record with tools and treatment of developers has been quite good.

I'm no Microsoft-hating raving, bearded open-source lunatic, and I agree with Taffer and withoutclass that their recent work in that direction has been pretty decent, but... remember when Skype used to be good? The best case scenario is the git and github-specific integration in VS gets better and literally nothing else changes. The worst case scenario is github turns into a brokedick Microsoft OpenSourceSafe365.

It's not a problem because Git is a decentralised version control system, and surely no one would be foolish enough to tie a decentralised vcs to a centralised, single-point-of-failure service like GitHub! Why, that would mean squandering the only real advantage that a DVCS has!

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:Knee-jerk Microsoft hate, I think. I don't think there's any reason to worry at this point; MS has embraced GitHub and uses Git internally and has contributed upstream. I expect they'll work to integrate GitHub with Azure more closely, but I don't know nightmare scenario people are thinking about here. It's not like vendor lock-in will be a serious threat here; you can just copy your repo and put it somewhere else if they do something you don't like in 20-30 minutes (plus whatever integrations you have, but I expect those will largely be plug and play unless you rely on weird bespoke poo poo). Microsoft has a service that already does the same stuff as GitHub. It's always been private repos-only... until the past few weeks, when they started rolling out public projects. GitHub is now a direct competitor. I don't think they're going to maintain two functionally identical platforms in the long-term.
