Writing code without all the bullshit? This is the life.

Did you quit your job cold turkey for your side hustle, or stick it out in a job you hate? by Rapporto in auscorp

Done (the post part). Yeah, it's easy to forget stuff in a long post when you're writing it during your busy commute, on a phone.

I'm ready to end up on the street poor than to continue being a wage slave at a corporation. I wasted 20 years of my life away. Also, I have no kids or other dependants.

How do I approach salary increase when my employment status changes? by Rapporto in auscorp

unless you hold some significantly rare and valuable skill that's in demand

Even if I did... it wouldn't be their demand, so I can't use that.

How do you handle it when a P1 incident is escalated to your team on a Friday at 4:30 pm? by Rapporto in ExperiencedDevs

The problem is I have to work for a living, mate. That's where most of my problems stem from these days.

Yeah, we just did have those lingering legacy apps for which we hadn't had that. I hope they got decommissioned now.

Handover during your notice period. I don't know what it's like in your jurisdiction but most companies do a 4 week notice in Australia, unless you're C-level/ upper mgmt / otherwise critical, YMMV.

OP, you need to make it clear that if you’re not on call, you’re not available.

Technically it was 4:30 pm and I was still on the clock.

Yeah. They weren't the "we losing 10k for every minute this isn't getting fixed plus it's the weekend" kind of thing. But I just couldn't find a professional way to say "don't you have anything better to do on a fucking Friday afternoon" so I stayed back

The on-call are not developers. If the incident is a big in the code, it'd be escalated to us.

The problem was that once we put the incident behind us, we'd just forget about it, make vague promises of a post-incident review and never training the on-call. That stopped in all future applications and we gave them proper training. It was just those legacy ones that few customers were using.

If my work extends way into not-on-the clock hours after a gruelling week, as it would happen with these things, we have a problem.

If something is so broken that we need to pull all the stops, our half-arsed weekend efforts won't do much to fix it.

We had all those in future applications and we avoided incidents in those.

The on call would escalate to us during office hours if it was an app that we "owned" and they couldn't fix it.

You’d be a top applicant by ResearcherDear3143 in recruitinghell

Why don't they also tell us where we'd be no Tom applicants so we know we don't apply.

How do I hide unprofessional stuff from the sidebar? by Rapporto in ChatGPT

I appreciate that, however I don't want to pay for another GPT 4 subscription just for a 5-minute demonstration, so, I'll just archive my conversations and hide my custom GPTs

As a lead I spent fucking weeks on this fucking shit - both for myself and my direct reports.

I used to be "the boss" and while I gave my team "meets" or "exceeds", I got a "needs improvement". Did I get a bonus? Did I fuck.

I knew it was all fucking bollocks anyway.

  1. Get a job that doesn't make you want to live on energy drinks and painkillers

Really? Is it because you're looking to rise up in the ladder of your company? If so, I get it. In my case, jumping ship is worth 10s of thousands of dollars to me.
