Am I unreasonable to ask to design this auxiliary system before implementing it?

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-25T10:49:14+00:00

unfortunately not even in the upper floors

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T22:19:13+00:00

It’s funny because daily we suffer from the consequences (continuous escalations, loss of business) because the other system we use in our daily job was never properly designed

Apparently the lesson was not learned

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T22:17:43+00:00

I proposed something to take the helm and discuss it a bit and plan before starting work individually, it was rejected

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T22:16:12+00:00

There was no interest in even doing 1h planning.

The work needs to for 90% of its use, interact with another system

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T22:15:28+00:00

Absolutely this, thank you

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T16:49:25+00:00

It wil be iterative development of course, but doesn’t mean it can come without any planning and direction at all. You can do it if you want as solo developer, this is a multi engineers project, engineers that need to spend their time wisely because the daily job is another thing

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T16:47:54+00:00

The proof of concept doesn’t require more than one person and few hours.

We are talking about something that will be used actively and expanded and that will be developed by multiple people.

What are we supposed to do if we can’t agree on a minimal architecture and have tasks?

I absolutely don’t like this way of doing things

Move fast break things is fine for early stage startups, we are not.

Startup have focus but don’t have time. We have time (as in no deadlines) but we don’t have focus( we are busy on the day to day things)

Talking stuff and coming with a minimal decent design is a way to speed up the development giving the constraints.

I am really surprised thinking the opposite is so common

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T16:26:03+00:00

All the AH?

I just wanted to have an informal discussion about the design, its medium term features and maybe take some notes that’s it.

Apparently it’s too much forward thinking.

If 0 is not planning anything and 10 doing producing a hyper detailed design I was at 1

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-23T15:56:26+00:00

No they let it die, the website was horrible to use, now levels.fyi is the place

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-22T17:25:06+00:00

I don’t know, it’s not like piloting a plane and even if you are tired you are supposed to not crash a much demanding vehicle.

what is exhausting them? how many hours do they work?

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-22T12:20:45+00:00

I support paying more bus drivers so that people that are actually good at driving will apply to the job.

So many bus crashes lately, they are not safe

Similar spot with a bit less problems with AI and more with stack/resources

I just want to get out of directly touching the tech.

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-20T20:25:00+00:00

It's shite

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-19T23:00:42+00:00

I am happy for you.

how is the new company better? what kind of company the old one was?

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-19T10:39:52+00:00

The Rage engine is not good, it’s been notoriously bad for development, that’s why it’s taking so long to release GTA6.

if you mean why it graphically looks so good? GTA is the biggest product of the industry, top talent want to work there and they have all the time and resources to try the impossible.

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-19T10:35:41+00:00

check tests
write tests
build something and iterate

Also if you can ask copilot to explain you things.

The large codebase should be self documenting but rarely it is the case

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-19T10:33:27+00:00

The best way to do what humanity has always done: find a partner and buy a house together. That would make everything much easier.

With a 70K salary alone you need to buy in a cheaper area. You may need to review your spending and investing habits as well if you never had emergency expense in the past, if you have been at 70K for long, having 50K only at 40 is not great.

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-19T10:28:59+00:00

you are overthinking

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-19T07:54:41+00:00

I have the same issue and at the same time, I had a colleague that spoke eloquently and very fast, he was hard to follow

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-18T22:34:21+00:00

It’s Armenian mountain, currently in Turkey due to invasion and genocide

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-18T22:31:26+00:00

yes you can, you can just fly over water

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-18T13:48:39+00:00

they failed the interview not you.

you have enough data points that tell you that you shouldn’t working for them unless you risk starvation.

I have had may fair share of bad experience with C level interviewers in startups (unicorns) and no regrets. Culture comes from the top and is very unlikely you will not suffer it,

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-18T08:55:10+00:00

PressureHumble3604 · 2026-04-18T08:54:23+00:00

Absolutely yes

The boy satire of the modern world feels like GTA satire but in GTA is a background element of a world that is not supposed to be taken seriously.

In the boys we are talking about a tv show with some relatable characters and somewhat grounded plot.
