There’s lay offs in my company.

So far:
- slackers and incompetents are staying
- Part of the leadership team is in holidays
- No one said the word lay offs but use the sentence “changes to come”

I am going back on monday and part of me hope I will be kicked out as I will have nothing to loose then, and a full month to say whatever I want.

Lack of efficiency doesn’t come from people doing nothing but rather from people who are doing things that are slowing done everything else.

Practical question: did anyone figure out how to pay less taxes in the UK (or somewhere else in Europe)?
I can’t lie it becomes pretty unsustainable…

If you want the ultimate life hack, only become friend with rich people. The rest won’t bring you much.

Now that I gave up on any hope for promotion, I am relieved of presenting stuff, which to a certain extent, relieve me from a certain amount of cringe. There’s just enough left to remind me why I don’t want to speak publicly.

What is the percentage of people in your team that are doing nothing but still giving their opinion and still manage to sloe things down? Personally, 40%.

Petition to add a “🤡” reaction to LinkedIn.

Vibe coding should be punished of 7 years in jail and a 10000€ fine. Doing so while screen sharing should add 2 years and 5000€ on top.

I have to go through so much bullshit with the architecture invented by people with no technical skills… It went from invented problems to real problems very quickly.

Panic of the year: I have to take way more holidays than last year.
Problem : I find holidays extremely boring and I don’t really get tired.

70% of sales commissions should be redirected to engineers.

I have the urge to write a torrent lib in Rust but I really have other priorities to take care of…

I have been told to create smaller PRs, so now every big PR has a few other smaller ones associated. Hope my manager will be happy.

Nuking the crappy hacks of “seniors” and rewriting something clean has really become my passion.

Massive ego battles are about to happen in the PR comments 🔥🔥🔥

It’s the end I uninstall VSCode. Visually messing up with my indentation was its last mistake.

Leader ghB for the win.

Non deterministic code completion/ suggestion is straight loss time. Period.

3 weeks my projects don’t move, one because I am lazy because I hate integrating Stripe, the other because I feel guilty not working on the first one every time I open it.

Currently working on my quiet quitting strategy to do the absolute minimum I can this year. Any advices are welcome.

Afrer an excruciating year of work, all I get is a ridiculous pay increase barely covering inflation. I am seriously considering resigning by the beginning of the year and live on benefits.
Even worst : the levelling of my current company is absolutely stupid, which I take as an insult to all the things I do and I can do while others apparently at my level would not even be able to think about. But yeah, I refuse to be a buffoon who spend his time posting useless bullshit on Slack.
Plus my manager is always on my back giving his opinion on absolutely everything, being wrong 90% of the time. I checked yesterday. 1 contribution from this person per month. But always very keen to prevent me from doing my job.
I am so fucking done.

Currently having a stupid fight in my PR comments to remove dead code because I refuse to write a whole book to justify a cleanup commit.

We are in AI era but screen readers and softwares for disabled people are still immensely retarded, so we still have to do accessibility by hand, now enforced by EU.

I’d like to understand. What is the problem with digital identity?

It’s crazy that banks don’t have the technology to provide properly redacted bank statements. Will have to remove the labels of 13 pages of transactions by hand.

Why arguing with each other while we could reunite and hunt those spammers together?

Teams of more than 4 people is already too big, period.

We should build an international anti-scammers brigade to find them and later take them down physically.

I personally don’t mind the wave of “back to the office” as long as transports costs are added to my income and I can start 1h30 later and leave 1h30 earlier.

MacOS and their custom keyboard layout drives me crazy. I will have once again to remap keys.

I wish we could stop to push candidates to do TDD or even asking questions about it during interview. This thing is a lie, has always been and will ever be. It is cool for small coding exercises but nothing else.
Let’s stop gatekeeping with stupid concepts.
