Isn’t this just the tech version of cuckooing?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckooing

Illegally using someone’s property to make profit from dodgy business.

Blender or GIMP? Idk.

Unit tests, yes, but you don’t only do unit tests. Integration and e2e tests still exist.

Was there even tests?

I’m not sure what’s with your first sentence. Everything else you said agreed with the point I was making…

Real mugs.

Henry Ford invented breaks to extract more out of the peasant Labour.

The fact we’re years later and cognitively demanding jobs don’t support this well show how amateur managers are and his spineless devs that enable them are.

Very good for certain games. Try VoxeLibre. Its a Minecraft clone turned fork with some differences. A lot of fun though.

It’s unfortunate they couldn’t use a Euro figure which would have made it much clearer.

You can tell it’s closed source… It has a great name.

It didn’t suddenly go that way. It was always the plan. A loss leader.

“When I work I like to do my job and then relax.”

They like to do it the other way around. They do nothing, then something. You do something then nothing. Why do you feel that your way has to b the right way and everyone else is wrong?

Do your workload, and no more, and be fine with it, or move to another organisation with the same problem.

The goal is for you to be able to understand that people in this world are different to you and that is fine. As long as you aren’t doing their job for them, it’s all good. If you choose to do that, it is on you.

I cannot see this working. Unless it can ask if you have enough anaesthetic and stop when you do not, otherwise, it’ll be an expensive torture device.

Really ain’t writing code in termux. I want an IDE. Why use a substandard device?

Programming? Nah. It’s a consumption device, not a creation device.

It was more than one mistake. Where was the QA, the staged rollout, the CI? It brought unto question how competent this company is to be a dominant player in such a critical market.

“If you would like me to be on call, we need to discuss remuneration.”

If you cannot ignore slack in the evening, weekends, you gotta be bad at your job. If you are good, employer won’t want to replace you and you can condition them to respect boundaries.

“I sent you a message, why didn’t you respond?”

“I didn’t see it.”

“What were you doing?”

“Cooking. Food shopping. You know, the essentials to survive”

Not that I’d elaborate. I much prefer the “I had plans/a prior engagement”.

If they ask, “I cannot really discuss this, it’s private”

You can ignore that also…

Length of time never means quality of decisions. Always best to validate. So easy to package up malware and farm folks bank accounts.

Nah, it’s quite big and well known in open source circles.

You do you, though.
