Update on my shitty manager.
He's been in HR training and leaving me the fuck alone. So it's a win so far.7 -
Got moved to higher prio project
- disastrous security
- Built with Knockout.js in 2016
- entire folders of business logic duplicated 3 times to allow for the business requirements of separate regional branches to evolve independently
- Application server in ASP.NET Core MVC but the *real* backend is a WCF service
- there is an outstanding ticket for a list view that fails to load because the API response exceeds the .NET serializer's maximum length. The proposed solution is to stream it down to the client which then collects it into a JS array and renders a DOM node for all 6k rows
- mgmt wants to scale up to the entire European region, not with a single installation but still with a single codebase
- the Germans want interactivity with Relay
- prod database copied around and cleaned to establish new environments, migrations lost to time
- read-only queries have a tendency to deadlock18 -

"You can't argue with the TV"
This statement is true when engaging with people online. The TV has told them what to think. Sometimes it takes a jarring moment to shake someone out of this trance. For some nothing will break the programming.
I can tell when someone isn't thinking for themselves. They repeat the standard media terms, and then use those terms to dehumanize people. They can then dismiss any counter information as being from "those people".
I assume this is some kind of protection mechanism. I suspect people are afraid of being wrong and their ego won't allow this. So the conclusion seems to be: people who don't believe the TV "must" have character faults. Some even have fantasies of harming those who don't agree. I have witnessed this a few times with a few different people. It would be sad to live like that. I don't understand or comprehend that kind of hate. I can only suspect this comes from the TV content. I don't know because I haven't watched it in almost 15 years.
The AP is a trillion dollar propaganda machine. If you can see through its facade count yourself lucky.
Pray for people to wake up. Remember you can't argue with the TV. Just move on.
On a side note. Viewership of traditional AP media is now in the toilet. So I hope that is progress.9
