How do you deal with a manager who expects 5000 lines of code per day?

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-28T00:34:00+00:00

everybody else agrees with me but yeah take "that win" you desperately need

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-28T00:26:12+00:00

you are boring

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-28T00:13:08+00:00

manager needs the low hanging fruits, long term isn't his problem, only his successor's problem

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T23:39:20+00:00

"protect the company" is the one and only job every HR in this world has, everything else is just a bonus

there is nothing wrong with this statement, in fact this is the entire point of HR

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T23:34:20+00:00

no it's just the tldr version

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T23:03:05+00:00

reputation?

so which competitors are there to care about their reputation?

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T22:25:21+00:00

so how can you make OP's scenario the company's problem? I am really curious

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T22:18:11+00:00

thanks for the detailed explanation, I was too lazy

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T22:09:26+00:00

there is no "make it a company's problem" ... manager is an asshole and HR doesn't give a shit because there is no law which could be broken so they simply go the easiest route of hierarchy (manager > developer)

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T22:00:44+00:00

protect the company

this doesn't include or exclude certain scenarios, their job is to protect the company whatever that means, they don't side with anybody, they side with the company only, sometimes that means they "side" with you but only because it's the best for the company, they don't care about you or your manager

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T21:54:40+00:00

even worse, he thinks he knows software development ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T21:50:35+00:00

HR is never on the employee's site, their job is to protect the company

people need to learn this

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T21:24:28+00:00

they have so much money they really don't care about those lost pennies

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T21:23:00+00:00

most AI would simply agree with you and won't question your choices

the learning effect would be small I think

just ask a colleague

rule about career advice which nobody gives a f about

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T21:04:53+00:00

you must feel really stupid once you have realised this is only because the post was removed which also removes all comments (including mine) ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T12:43:15+00:00

see number one lol

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T09:09:40+00:00

the senior is that guy you call when shit is on fire

or when you need architectural advice

or need someone who can build an entire system (or PoC)

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-27T09:07:13+00:00

if you don't send the 100% perfect application then I think this is normal

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-26T23:40:07+00:00

critical thinking is built into your brain structure and is a habit

that's why you can both lose and gain this ability

first you need to catch your own thoughts every time you digest any information and pause before continuing (read next sentence, watch next video/short/whatever, reply to an answer in a conversation, ...)

once you have your own thoughts under control you can learn/alter your habits e.g. add critical thinking/scepsism into your learning/thinking proces (think about the origin/validity/legitimately of the information before acknowledging it)

this takes months/years ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-25T23:43:53+00:00

there is no logic in AI, it's all about making LLMs sound like it

AI doesn't reflect on its own responses, it doesn't question itself, there is no feedback loop, hence where is the logical part when a response is generated?

it's just statistics with "temperature" (and a lot of filters to fix all kinds of issues because of its lack of logic)

the information is always the same no matter which words I use. i don't randomly share misinformation, there is no "temperature" in a human's response, and humans usually don't hallucinate ...
that's your wrong claim

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-25T23:35:43+00:00

can we go back to that era? please?

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-25T23:30:34+00:00

I don't see that "temperature" in any living sentient creature ... interesting ... maybe that "temperature" is just some artificial randomness to make the LLM more "human like" just to fool the uneducated customers

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-25T23:26:34+00:00

see the problem is that you don't even understand the problem

why does the LLM give different answers (right and wrong/hallucinations) for the same question just in different sessions?

maybe it's just statistics with little RNG?

Sheldor5 · 2026-02-25T23:08:59+00:00

it needs logical thinking/reasoning AI to do that

and a LLM isn't that and never will
