one week back from my holidays and so far:
- 3 server outages
- 1 developer will be fired
- 2 new employees (company has around 35 employees)
- 2 employees leaving
- outsourced designs, the designer surely didn't read the feature research doc nor followed style sheet
- a small, easy feature has not yet been finished by the rest of the team
- new devOps engineer wants to rewrite our entire tech stack

But at least the CEO was doing it's best and ran away from the problems & ran 150km

forgot to add:

- a colleague is busy transporting restricted biological materials across borders without official approval. (and that's not a joke)

I guess things are improving?

@donkulator Close. But transporting horse sperm from crossing at least 2 borders. It is for a local experimental research project there.

@donkulator still can’t accept that sausages are the epicentre of the competition of the most idiot bureaucracy between the UK and the EU.

@wojtek322 wtf

@retoor yea by the time i am ceo, everiiiday;)

@retoor No idea. The metal box including cooling elements and what not weights around 25kg.

Our cloud infrastructure was written by 3 employees who were new to cloud development. So I can understand that there are flaws in it but it is rather stable (the cloud infrastructure are, the backend code not). The new employee was an ex-employee of that cloud platform (his title was instructure).

But the feedback he has gotten is that he has to deliver results in the short term and not spend a year (or years) to rewrite everything.

My senior dev said for the joke "so he taught new people how to build stuff and gets billed the max possible amount by AWS for using too many services". I wonder how true that is

@retoor they said im so good i dont need it

@wojtek322 isn't that the plot of a rick&morty episode?

@Probabil Would not be the first time we had something rick&morty in our code
