At my last job there were some validation tools that were only available through the pipeline that got kicked off from a PR so we all had to occasionally.

When I have people who are hesitant to open a PR it is usually because they need the “peer review is there to make sure we do our best work” or there is someone who enjoys making GBS threads on people in PRs who needs to stop or be told to gently caress off. Only time I fired someone and I didn’t feel bad was the kid fresh out of college who thought dropping hard r words in PR comments was ok.

I really want to know if you actually mean "hard r" or r***rd because I'm trying to imagine someone dumb enough to drop the n word in a comment.

It wasn’t n but someone out of college insulting other developers with decade+ and experience is still a good example of having a degree doesn’t make you smart.

That's the origin and the only meaning of "hard r". I've noticed people in recent years have been getting confused about this and I guess it's just because people started saying "r-word" instead of r***rd so they think "hard r" is just another variation on that.

I am loathe to continue this topic but I just want to reiterate that, lack of prescriptivity or no, "hard r" means a very specific thing in the USA and you should not use the phrase unless you know what it means and you intend to communicate exactly what it means to another person. If it's at all a question, best to just not use it at all.

Is there a point to Gitlab's draft reviews other than blocking merge and any semantics? Gerrit's WIP function is nice in that it disables notifications for reviewers as long as it's active, and it removes the review from reviewers' "hey look at these asap" list. It was useful after a round of reviews to mark as WIP and then address comments (or pipeline errors or whatever) without spamming people.

Invited to final round interviews for a team I'm really excited about. The project sounds great, the team structure solid, everything looks good. Then I see one interview is the 'culture interview'. Ok, they want to make sure I'm not discriminatory, I've worked with all walks of life, not an issue. Then I see in the details: interview invite posted:Culture - a strong culture is necessary to maintain a strong team. This interview will be a conversation centered around our values: Customer First, Relentless Prioritization, Be an Owner, Open and Transparent, Seek to Understand, Raise the Bar, and Always Take Care of the Team. I loving love being managed by overlapping contradictory platitudes. Thanks for the massive red flag right up front though, company, you just saved me a lot of interview time!

You’re gonna find that a lot of places have gone hard on company values and take them seriously enough that it’s become a thing in interviews. In general I wouldn’t call them a red flag, though. What about the idea of a culture interview that revolves around company values seems off to you?

That cultural interview stuff just seems like normal corporate fart huffing to me. You huff farts for an hour and then get on with your life and paycheck.

I've been at a few places with "strong culture" and it always leads down to justification for leadership making unpopular decisions. Like "we're all going to work until 7 pm on Fridays to get the release out - customer first!!" and "you're going to cross train for everybody else's jobs too so you can step in if somebody calls in sick, as we're on skeleton staff and can't fall behind schedule. Remember, always take care of the team, and relentless prioritization!!" I'm not opposed to a company championing strong culture, but distilling "culture" to 7 broad statements that imply a personal responsibility is not for me at all. Values like "security is for everyone" and "respect is valued more than output", or anything that conveys a sense of acknowledgement that staff are people too, seems way more appropriate. In my experience, companies that care about good values don't paste them on the wall and point to them every day.

In my experience companies paste them on the wall and then never point to them ever. They're a non-issue.

I certainly wouldn't spike an interview just because of this but obviously, like everything else during your time talking to a company, ask questions to try to tease out whether these values are bullshit or are guiding principals to bring folks together.

All the culture stuff is cultish fart huffing to try and make people work harder for less because of “culture” and doing “good”. Edit: worked for a public tech company that did the whole wanting more non white dudes working at a nerd company and every quarter the number never moved so just would say they were working on it and introduce some new VP or C level position to work on it who would quietly leave a few months later.

I'm jealous of everybody here who hasn't been burned by "strong culture". I've been pushed and guilted and finger-wagged at my last two jobs over 'culture'. And I work really well with all my teammates directly so I don't think I'm just being a stick in the mud. The culture values always come at the cost of work life balance at these two places.

I did interview with one company whose values were mostly DEI related stuff and like 75% of the their negative reviews were angry right wingers like "They say they want to be TOLERANT but why can't they TOLERATE my conservative views!?!?!?". Other than that every company I've ever worked for or interviewed with has been only paying lip service to their buzzword values. The extent to which the values are a problem depends entirely on how and when they enforce them. Like I've been at companies that made every project kick off with a form describing how the product fit each of their values. "This project to migrate off of AngularJS fits our value of SINCERITY because we will be sincerely hosed once this hits EOL and eventually has a major compatibility issue with a browser change!" Another had one of those internal rewards systems, but to give out a reward that could be used towards actual rewards you had to tie it into values "Mike embodied COMPASSION when he fixed my Outlook issue" wilderthanmild fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Feb 16, 2022 |

My workplace has wallpaper with the values on and in every appraisal you have to select which values you/your manager/your peers embody. Sigh. Those aren’t the worst values I’ve ever seen to be fair. “Relentless Prioritization” is a bit weird but I agree with “be an owner” and “seek to understand”. “Always take care of the team” is an interesting one, I wonder how they define that.
