Yeah, that's more likely to be someone who has no clue what any of the things they're writing about are than someone who does but is insane.

We recently PIPed out a person who had done maybe two weeks of work over the last three years. You get there by working hard for a while and then gradually ramping things down.

I have become a big fan of timezone deltas. All my meetings are in the morning, and then afternoons are when I get my individual work done.

Google put a lot of work into having non-vibes-based promotions and turns out that just has a different set of problems.

Yeah, if students are doing something weird you can basically assume it's because guidance councilors are telling them to do it.

Bug lists growing over time is the natural state of software. The only way to avoid it is to either be in pure maintenance mode with zero feature development or to arbitrarily close unfixed tickets. The actual bugginess of your software is hopefully not increasing over time, but you will continue to discover existing problems and if your code base is getting larger as time passes then there's just more places for bugs. Approaching project management with the expectation that open bugs will decrease is just incorrect.

It's been an entire week since it was reported and it hasn't been fixed yet so clearly no one cares about it.

Yeah, we're still hiring but we absolutely need to be able to say "we want to hire this person because they have this specific exact skill we need". Hires just for the sake of increasing headcount don't get approved regardless of how good we think the person is.

Just feed your entire codebase into chatgpt and ask it to write docs.
