  • “it works on my machine.”

    It’s funny that that’s the answer that they always gave, considering there were times that we had screen shares, and I asked them to walk me through how they actually got it to work.

    When they attempted to try to run it, unsurprisingly it broke.

    There were even a few times that I didn’t even review it and the first step I took was to inform them that it wouldn’t run. Also, unsurprisingly, I was right.

    Management at the time was driven by product development and delivery of “high-value” features. As long as deliverables were delivered, this dev could do anything they wanted to. At the end of a year, I’d lost about four weeks of productivity. That doesn’t even cover the hours of after work time that I spent on trying to fix their fuckups.

    Needless to say, I stopped doing that. I used to be a nice guy to work with, but now… Let’s just say if you can’t do the work, I’m not covering for you. If your PR doesn’t get merged because it’s broken and you can’t fix it and you spend six weeks trying to fix it, that’s on you.





  • dude. i feel that pain.

    i got a dev fired because they absolutely refused to test their changes before submitting.

    I’m not talking once or twice either. at least a year of that bullshit. i had to show my boss how many hours of wasted time it was taking me because I look at the code first, like literally anybody. Eventually boss pipd them and fired them but holy fuck i wanted to kick that douche in the groin every time i saw a pr with their name on it.

    next place I work I’m insisting on a build step success to assign a pr.




  • so let me get this straight.

    you’re a white American male that’s not directly offended by, but offended in-place of Africans that may or may not see this comic?

    Jesus Christ, you’re the epitome of sheltered American with a white savior complex.

    it’s a fucking comic strip.

    the irony of it all is that you’re in the joke in the comic and you don’t even realize it.












  • are you ready to admit that fictional characters exist in fiction because it gives an escape to readers to fantasize about themselves as the hero?

    get over yourself bringing all that hatemongering in here.

    you think you offer a special perspective that none of us have that pertains to the widening of socioeconomic gaps between the rich and poor? yeah we get it, “rich man bad!”

    calling comic book characters propaganda, what’s wrong with you?! you think the writers of these characters have some kind of secret cabal where they purposely write great things about rich people just to make actual rich people look good?!

    your perspective is skewed and you need to re-evaluate it.
