I found a new variant of Slack weirdo in the wild today. The kind that emphasizes words with backticks so they look like code. Sigh.

Uh oh. I use backticks for variable names, file names, referring to identifiers in our data, etc. Is that bad somehow?

Those are perfectly fine uses. Using it for emphasis instead of bold or italics is dumb.

Really pointless Slack anxiety: when someone responds to a post with “:thumbs-up::skin-tone-4” and I also want to give a thumbs up, but I’m not that skin tone so I don’t know whether to click it or put a different coloured thumbs up e: to be clear, the anxiety is around wanting to be inclusive and appropriate, not because of a weird obsession with my skin tone Prism Mirror Lens fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Nov 10, 2020 |

We all just the click first one. I think it would be weird to add your own. I keep mine yellow because as a white guy it feels weird actively selecting the white skin tone with what is floating around our there. We have a guy who uses rainbow thumb but it's kind of "his thing".

I think I've finally hit the last straw with the company that bought us out. It's frustrating, because I can't point to any single big thing that's like "this is bad and you shouldn't work here" but drat if their "we're trying to become more modern" facade doesn't slip and reveal the cold dark enterprise machinery at their heart more often than not. Like, I get that you're a publicly traded company and you have targets to meet and shareholders to keep happy but drat there is literally zero excuse in TYOOL 2020 for your performance reviews (especially under COVID) to be phrased in the format of "what value did you bring to the company this year // how will you bring more value to the company next year // you are literally an expendable resource to us". I know that's what they're thinking, but at least make the words sound more like you value us as people, christ. Hell, they just announced a pandemic relief initiative that includes the last friday of every month off (cool) and then explicitly stated that workloads will not change to reflect this (wtf). P sure working for a startup has ruined me forever for enterprise jobs

never work for a company with more than 15 people and never work for a company where you don't have daily interaction with the owner/CEO imo. edit: never work for a company where the top-level person makes more than like 1.5-2x what you make

I've worked only in mid size and large companies. Always been curious about working for small operations. Seems nice to personally know everyone and have a clear mission. I also hear a lot of horror stories too though. Seems like comp is also often not as good?

I've got a unique working arrangement where it's basically me, my boss, one QA engineer and another guy who does a lot of marketing/graphic design kind of stuff. It definitely has its ups and downs, I vastly prefer it to working for a soulless megacorp like Accenture.
