meticulously explaining to product that they are not only asking for the worst possible implementation of something, but also the most expensive and being told they’ve come to the decision already and didn’t ask for my input

it’s worse than that. our department is usually involved with derisking new technologies but due to lovely circumstances upper management has decided to accept that this hasn’t been derisked yet and is in ‘drat the torpedoes!’ mode

fair enough. they know this is high risk and have acknowledged that in writing. the problem is middle management is now trying to use established processes for estimating this work when no one in the company has done this before or even fully understands what monsters could be lurking under the surface

so normally yeah if it’s a new feature with an established code base you can sort of squint one eye, stick up your thumb, and take a rough guess at it. we can’t do that here

i think i see the issue here, you’re trying to take estimates seriously when it’s an open secret that they’re about as useful as palm reading. just inflate the estimates as much as possible to give your team leeway

I used to regularly get these square slices of frozen pizza called Billy's. Cheese and little button pepperoni. You tear off a corner of the package so the steam can escape and chuck it in the microwave for like 2 min. The dough was cake-y and awful, the cheese was flavorless and stringy. Man I miss those

I'm like 78 hours behind the times, do swedish and finland families not feed their guests?

It’s a well known european stereotype that northern europeans are colder and more distant and instead of offering you to join them when dinner time approaches they’ll politely wrap up your visit so they can start eating.

I'd prefer a longer weekend over a day off wednesday (assuming a theoretical 4-day work week). One day isn't nearly enough to properly relax or make longer plans. The same 5 o'clock dread I feel on sundays would be felt on that solitary day off and that'd suck

the key difference, at least for me, is that there's a lot less dread when you only have to go back for two days

That's the tradeoff, absolutely. I'm ok with the continuous 4 day because it's not like I work particularly hard.
