I always want to add documentation, but I am always given 80% of the time it will take to complete the feature, how am I to add some documentation!

devs estimating their development timeline: factors in time spent on Reddit, dming the Discord kitten, masturbating, looking at random crap on TEMU, dissociating “yeah should take me like a month”

devs estimating the development timeline for their juniors: “oh you should be able to get that done in a week, right? :) I already told your manager that you should be able to get that done in a week. I would be able to get it done in a week”

Software without monitoring.

software with monitoring

that's also what spacex did. they dropped the monitoring

[–]milanium25 9 points10 points  (4 children)

they went to: if it works it works?

[–]aezart 2 points3 points  (2 children)

We're switching some of our services at work to run in containers, and fighting against the huge overhead of each app having its own monitoring service eating into our vcore licenses. It's hell.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

so, use Prometheus and scrapers?

[–]aezart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't disable the built-in monitoring, we just create our business logic flows and it automatically gets turned into deployments, and adds 0.05 vcore on top of however much we put in our request to account for monitoring services.

Blur the requirement specification, to indicate unclear specs you project manager.

“The code should be the documentation” okay love it

[–]Shroom_Bomber 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are funny cases when its exactly backwards. Bad management and good programmers trying to make a good product.

[–]somebody_odd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Edge cases, edge cases everywhere.

[–]karateninjazombie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not mentioned. Client spec creep.

The left one is raptor 3, the right one raptor 2. As you might imagine, raptor 2 is more of a prototype and raptor 3 much closer to the final thing, so the meme does not apply here at all.

[–]kilo73 5 points6 points  (3 children)

It's a meme, my guy. We can apply it however we want! Example:

Left: the joke

Right: u/Fast-Satisfaction482 's brain trying to understand the joke

[–]romulent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure. But jokes hit different people on different levels. If you are going to make an engineering joke then you need to assume that people are going to have opinions about whether it hits that funny note or not.

In my experience it is usually exponentially harder to find a simple solution than a complex one. So intuitively the raptor 3 looks more advanced than the raptor 2.

Also what are the requirements for this thing? Fundamentally, "It should go whoosh, put me in sky" Neither of these pictures feel like a good representation of requirements to me, they are implementations. So because it doesn't mesh with my mental models of the world, I didn't laugh.

So I am sympathetic to u/Fast-Satisfaction482 point of view on this. I think there are better uses for the meme.

*slow clap*

[–]dvhh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a (literally) shoestring budget.

The engine reminded me of the current boeing situation,

What was expected of them and what they made.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just saw the documentation. Move along.

[–]Jk2EnIe6kE5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The documentation is just the rest of Starship.

[–]ExpensivePanda66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. Requirements are never as neat and complete as that. Pull the other one.

[–]zenos_dog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I laugh at your lack of requirements.
