Oof, from what you described, this seems like minor issues that should not have been escalated so publicly.

I assume it is people hating on their management / work process. The management has switched to Jira so Jira is now also being hated while the software is doing it's job.

It's just getting hate by being related to shitty management often :)

@Grumm probably not. If this is the case here, the caller would probably excuse themselves & say that they dialed the wrong number.

I assume they got your phone number from a data leak or data brokers. A lot of phone numbers are already recognised as "spam callers" so you can to your device settings and turn "spam call filtering" on. It's not perfect but it helps.

> 2 employees leaving

Make it 3!

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

https://devrant.com/rants/6704837/...

@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

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

forgot to add:

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

@asgs

Sales & technicians are both excluded since they have to go to the customers. And people living more than an 60 min away are exempt.

So as a result, 3 people from the DevOps team (2 on Mondays) out of the 11 have to go to the office. I'm a front-end dev and the remaining of my team that I work closely with is more than 2000km away

@ars1 I think this is not the case. This company is too small & struggles to hire people (and have them stay)

Also, I doubt the C-level can come up with this plan

And gotten the news they are going to fire a fellow developer hours after making this post :D

@Lensflare Indeed, I'm not blaming him but thought it was a funny excuse worth sharing :D

A few months ago, he interrupted the daily and streamed an other horse giving birth

@Lensflare The only reason that they gave is for the social factor which I understand (not agree with).

And probably because the office rent is massive and is nearly empty for all days.

We currently have 1 day that the devOps try to be in the office (that works near the office at least) and so far, it's the less productive day for every devOps person.

Thanks all

My project manager gave his honest opinion about the previous version I did not see... and they listened.

They added #ffffff & #000000 as color and removed the font name from the document.

What an improvement

@electrineer Well, we had no designer back then so he had to create the designs also.

But apparently he was working on a 800x600 screen with his nose nearly against his laptop screen. I just found it amusing.

And to be fair, his code was/is good quality. No denying in that.

(probably should have tagged it with "random" instead of "rant")

And to make it worse, it's literally across the country for me to sit in an ice bath... Wtf

@Grumm Thanks, due our laws, your resignation period scales with how long you are employed there. His last day is in ~3 weeks. He did try to discuss his last day but the company refused and he is forced to stay till the maximum of his resignation period legally.

@devRancid yes so that error is pretty much useless.

Since we do deliver also some hardware, the technicians need to go to the location of the customer and those colleagues don't have the backend tools to troubleshoot it. (cuz they havent been build)

They just open the console, point at the red lines and say that this is the error and say that this will be send to the DevOps for further investigation...

The customers are happy since it feels their problem will be solved but it probably won't be soon :D

@wojtek322 https://devrant.com/rants/10556168/...

@PonySlaystation They are aware of the problem and are looking into it

@max19931 I think they did an action like "write a (positive) review, follow us on socials, ..." to receive % discount on sign up.

(anyway, the positive review did happen)

Still hanging on?

And happened again \o/

@NeatNerdPrime I'm still surprised that this company still exists :D

And thanks!

@NeatNerdPrime It's not the best. my amount of tasks have been low for a few months and atmosphere at my job has been degrading a lot.

I should be looking for a new job but it's a free paycheck for minimal work and manager is happy.

number 9 might need some more clarification. Our app is aimed at other businesses that is maintained by their IT department.

The action that would be automatic reported is made on the platform created for their admins.... reported to the same admins that configures that platform.

https://xkcd.com/838/

@asgs yea, company of 30-40 people.

The front-end team consists of 2 devs (including me) and I have to do designs so yeah, it's not according to the best practices.

10 minutes left in the meeting and we have yet to start with the designs \o/

@retoor Is it not called the "zesjescultuur"? Belgium has kinda the same problem
