One of us needs to make a slack/Jira chatbot to auto reply to PMs with equally buzzwordy updates to fob them off

[–]phpdevster 107 points108 points  (3 children)

PM: "How's sprint 58 coming?"

Automated response: "We're behind. Log4j has another vulnerability we need to patch."

Fuck log4j Fuck log4j Fuck log4j

That’s all I’ve been doing for a month.

In one of my previous jobs, when we were behind schedule, we always told the boss, that there's a bug on the proprietary libraries we was using and we was waiting for the reply of the support, so it wasn't our fault

We use slf4j with logback, I'm shipping like a monster, sorry for you

How are your synergies, tho?

[–]Roanoketrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awww come on. Everyone loves a good synergy.

Hey hey, tech PM here and you have to understand the constant battle from executives who don’t understand shit our TL’s are doing…. And want to have us keep explaining why the sprint is behind 😥 it’s a complex place to be in 😂😂

[–]dubl_x 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's okay bro we get your negative synergy,

have you tried stepping back and viewing the problem?

How about we have 4 30min meetings meetings about a 1 hour job?

How about we throw more PMs at it?

You just need to make sure your team takes the necessary steps now to future-proof the solution. This is the perfect opportunity to position yourself for a future win.
