As we all know, people are much more productive at hour 14 than hour 3 of work. They're just getting in the groove!

Zeppelin Insanity posted:Two of my friends work at CDPR and they had a good laugh at the non-mandatory overtime the first time it was announced. They were already in crunch for a while back then. The company tried quite hard to replicate the Silicon Valley start-up culture, with a fancy office with lots of facilities, but then working employees to the bone at average/slightly below average wages. They both took a relative pay cut when they started to work at CDPR, but thought it would be a good thing to have on a resume. One of the main ways of non-mandatory peer pressure is that middle management all work even more than regular employees, which creates that whole "in it together" and "support your colleagues" and risk of resentment if others don't do it. as i said, to my knowledge many in cdpr have been in 'unofficial' crunch since jan 2019

Reminds me of an infomercial I saw years ago of some chicken rotisserie oven that had a 'free' inbuilt steamer on the top of it. The design flaw of it was that it permanently had a boiling hot top no matter if you wanted to steam poo poo or not.

Personally I like our system of "nobody ever met sprint deadlines anyway so we just ignore them and declare sprints done whenever we feel like it, carrying over anything not done to the next one, because who cares" The only way I've ever seen agile development work is when it breaks down enough that you can get things done.

I showed that hot tub to my wife, and she nodded to the first three pictures like "ooh that's a good idea." And busted out laughing at the fourth. We'll never forget it now, so ads working as intended.

(to be clear, i am 100% on the side of my comrades that have been thrown in over their heads and inherited an ancient VOIP system, my frustration lies not with them but with the systems that failed them)

At my last job I once had to fly to New York City to do an on-site install only to discover that when we said "we need this this and this set up before we arrive" and they said "yes of course, that'll all be ready when you get here" what they meant was "we don't understand what you're asking so we're going to do nothing at all". Can't afford to stay longer cuz the contract only had a budget for a week, better get it working by then!!!

That was also the moment I learned that some places still work 9 to 5, count your lunch break as part of the 8 hours, and encourage you to actually leave the goddamn building for lunch and at 5. It was real fun getting to 5 and having the host tech who was assigned to chaperone us being all "whelp it's 5 I'm leaving" and we're just like "uhh I'm not allowed to stop working until 6..." Dude was real cool though and just told our boss that we left at 6 every day when we actually left at 5. Good dude, I like that dude, thanks dude.

I had tasks at my old job which I was told to rate at 3 points because I did them very quickly thanks to my algorithms skill. Then I went on vacation and when I came back I got blasted for badly estimating because the task was not simply done using stack overflow + google and the person that took one of those stories (which they did even though I said I would do it next sprint after I was back from vacation) was out of their depth so it clogged up that person for the entire two weeks. motherfucker you're the one that done told me to put it as 3

taqueso posted:That model they slapped her face onto was made from a full body scan of her, so it's weirder than you make it out to be A high-res scan too, so if someone wants to make the case that there's any effective distinction between seeing her "actual" nude body vs. seeing the game model they're going to have to wade into philosophical hair-splitting. Meanwhile normal brains are going to be like "that's gross and violating" I forget, was that the same model that they found had a lovingly rendered and detailed 3d vagina?

It's creepy as gently caress either way but I seriously don't think it's her actual body. I'm sure it's some generic asset from the neck down.

It's not creepy at all. It was a generic model and it couldn't be seen in the game, going through the work of covering up a body you can't see either way would be wholly unnecessary extra work.
