@netikras I'm not getting my job done at an acceptable rate either imo

Same shit happens to me, I'm so burned out on feature dev

I survived emergency support and learned a lot because of it

@kiki that was relatable as fuck

Holy crap ... I had to go for two and a half years not using
<? In php cause "that's dangerous"
Also took a year and a half of convincing just to get our code deployment process tested and automated using bamboo. Dude literally would shoot down any idea that he didn't come up with himself and it sucked.

@sariel thank you

@hjk101 i agree with him too, my main thing here is lack of training, lack of domain ownership .. im working on the chrome extension ffs..
And.. I'm sick and have been sick for over a week.. I'm just generally feeling over this hurdle race.

I'm ranting on devrant, go figure :)

@tosensei Yea i never saw anything about OnCall service when i was offered .. more of like a bait n switch to some degree. Fortunately it's only a week.

<3

@Fast-Nop that is brilliant!

With that being said they might as well cash out and close shop because they've dug themselves into a hole they can't get out of by treating the engineering department like shit. Fuck that and fuck companies like that. Good job on the new position!

It's not terrible if you can afford to not make money for a while, good line of sight into the CTO position

@Fast-Nop state management, I have heard this term thrown around a lot. I imagine I should focus on that a bit. Thanks for the advice

That sucks, buy a replacement cooler for now then build at your leisure

@Fast-Nop what is the ideal way to mount the cooler?

I have no oversight over infra here unfortunately. Boss man has bamboo ci running on a prod server containing our atlassian stack. He has tasked me with configuring bamboo but I have no access to the backend logs or debugging tools I would use to trace through some of the issues I have. My question is why is this a huge problem, these are employee facing systems and bamboo probably shouldn't even be on a prod server. Whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense. This isn't our product server.. just atlassian stuff.

Just seems silly to say "go setup bamboo! *but with one hand tied behind your back*"

Thank you guys for all the interesting and informed ideas and perspectives 🤠

At the end of the day I'm just venting because the whole situation seems absurd.

I'm trying be more involved in infra and devops but it's really hard to do if I have no ability to do anything -__-

@AlmondSauce wow you sound like a great boss! I'll keep dreaming haha

You pay me now!

@Bybit260 who says making money has to be soulless and unconnected? Like, where is that in the rules?

Same here man.

What a dream dynamic you have with your boss. I'm lucky to get my boss to spend 10 minutes even looking at what I've done...

P.S. cool headphones

I can't stand working at the office in general so this is kind of like a dream come true for me

Check the event viewer for actual information on vague error messages ... I've had to use procmon (sysinternals) in the past for a 3rd party app giving a vague message.. turns out it was trying to contact a samba share that no longer existed stored in a cache somewhere.. doing this allowed me to at least get "random chiropractic billing software" to work again

Yea idk if I'll keep taking em after the situation is over but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ better than feeling like shit and risking getting fired for no productivity cause no motivation to code :<

It's depression. Taking Wellbutrin again has seemed to help a lot

There is so much knowledge and information on the interwebs you can learn anything you need to be better at what you do, focus on things that are bullet point requirements in jobs you want

Sounds like your developers have lost their morale to care

@nitwhiz what do you even mean by this comment "Autism" wtf dude? Ableist much? Kind of offensive to people that are doing a really good job that have the condition?

Decline his PRs until he cherry pick amends every last one of his bullshit messages

Things have been getting progressively weirder since 2012, pretty sure we fell off of the correct timeline

As a developer I don't take shit from any of those pesky management types. Glad you don't either.

In unity.
