Personally think people get a bit silly with “please approve” vs “please review.” But that’s developers for you.

Agree there. We’ve definitely had people who considered rubber stamping a PR to count as their work for that hour, without even doing any actual review. Makes a mockery of the process, it does.

The worst is when you have to get all the questions correct in the pre-quiz to skip the training and one of them is like “how many days do you have to respond to a reported security incident?” And the options are completely arbitrary.

In Connecticut, you have to do two hours of anti discrimination / harassment training, which works fine if it’s a class. We have online training so if you finish before two hours, it just shows a screen with a countdown timer and a disabled Continue button. Great job.

a dingus posted:Do you all normally pull the feature branch and run the code to test it manually? I’ll only do this if it’s UI code and I’m not confident in the dev’s UI work. It’s pretty easy to make working UI code that passes all the tests but has some quirky behavior that looks bad. Backend code, I feel like tests work better.

You all haven’t seen someone be blocked and just try to fix it themselves for days and eventually work into a stupid solution from Stack Overflow that they open a PR for and immediately get told the right way to do it?

There isn’t any real way to reconcile “we don’t like to plan far in advance because we want flexibility” and “we need to plan far in advance because we have dependencies on other teams.”

If you have a monorepo, what do you do with code for a service that is decommissioned? Normally I would just archive the repo in GitHub but that doesn’t work here.

Eh, corporations that screw up that kind of thing usually get a free pass from the provider and just back date stuff. Not like us normal people.

Huh, Invision is shutting down at the end of the year. https://www.invisionapp.com/inside-design/invision-design-collaboration-services-shutdown/ Feels like we were all in on Sketch + Invision just a couple of years ago. Figma just ate their lunch.

Imagine working at a company in January that said they were shutting down in December. Now imagine who is left in November.

Our new thing is wildly out of control accessibility remediation estimates. “The report listed 1000 issues so we figure one issue a day since its legacy code so this will take a year.” Then they shut down the project because it’s the cheaper option, good job.

The OP literally said “The good engineers just aren't enticed by our mediocre salaries” and people are trying to figure out how to fix the interview question.

I saw a horrifying view of the future in a Reddit question the other day: “Does anyone have any good resources on software version n-1? ChatGPT doesn’t know about version n yet.”

Judge Schnoopy posted:Hahaha corporate fishing by starting a sentence you want to know the answer to and letting ai fill in the blanks. Reminds me of our old corporate directory that let you search by job title. Which is completely useless unless you want to be able to get exact headcount for every position at every location, for “corporate research”. It was also super useful to see how few staff engineers we had given how many senior engineers wanted that promotion. Sadly, they changed it to a bad search that can’t even find by name half the time.
