Oof! I just grabbed a ticket that's been going in circles for a week and finally asked the user what they were doing, what they were clicking, and what they were seeing. I fully expect to have an opportunity to roast tiers 1 and 2 for not asking this first before deciding that surely something must be bugged.

Interviewing is like gambling: just consider all the time wasted and maybe you'll get lucky and win some of it back

I use a paper notepad and every time I fill up a sheet, I tear it off, put it in a drawer, and never look at it again.

Like backups, if you've never restored from backups, you don't have backups. If you've never onboarded someone using your documentation, you don't have documentation.

I agree with writing tests as a strategy. It makes you focus on small pieces of the overall code in turn and (sort of) documents what they do. My predecessor wrote basically no documentation or tests and breaking things into testable chunks helped me start untangling their garbage Groovy code as I started rewriting it in a sane language.

raminasi posted:When our overemployed guy got fired we no longer had to clean up the messes his sloppiness caused so it genuinely resulted in less work for us. (I have no idea how they caught him - I didn't snitch or even know, and I doubt anyone else did.) You know, if "less work for us" would translate into "we get to reduce our hours to 30/week with the same pay", then maybe I'd look for more ways to reduce the team's workload. Until then, I'll keep working "8" to "5" and whatever gets done gets done.

Xarn posted:What are your plans for "it is 4 in the morning, the one guy who knows that poo poo is asleep"? One of my favorite Monday mornings was the one where I logged in and found an email, a Slack DM, an @ in a Slack channel, and a Zoom message asking for my help because a server went down Saturday afternoon and nobody knew how to contact me. A coworker from my old department (this was right after a reorg) fortunately stumbled on the correct solution, which was to restart Tomcat. I finally got into the Slack channel after getting caught up on what happened and suggested everybody could have just ignored the problem until Monday. That wasn't a popular suggestion lol

Sometimes I'll be in a Zoom call where I didn't expect to have to unmute and say anything and there's a noticeable pause when somebody asks me a question because I have to swing my mic arm around and clear my throat before I can reply. I think that's mostly a factor of the "didn't expect to have to unmute" part of the equation.

I got a "we just went through them while onboarding (Coworker), so they should be pretty up-to-date" in regard to some setup docs. Then I tried to follow them and they were poo poo. Then I didn't fix them

Volmarias posted:Having a new person write down all the places they got stuck and where the docs deviated from what they got told to actually do has been a pretty good way to audit onboarding instructions. Yeah, I thought that was what they meant when they said they'd just gone over everything, but nope!

I saw the "enable Atlassian AI" ticket show up in the queue and immediately wanted to see if I could get away with quietly deleting it
