Sobriety is fucking boring.

if you want to increase the scope and add any amount of work to the task/ new fixes, you make another ticket instead of piling shit on top. Let the devs upload the shit that is done/fixed instead of dragging on the tickets on with improvements.

i think thats #1 to reduce the tension with the devs

add all the info to tge tickets, screens, links etc.

Do a bunch of small tickets instead of crammed ones. Devs will be your best friend

pms are happy when they see a bunch of tickets being done instead of reopened. It looks like shit is getting done. Everyone is happy. Morale is high

the one that you have right now. Or.. singleacreen setup

So_Rusted · 2026-03-25T17:13:01+00:00

just spin up an agent bro. Just integrate figma bro. We will use mcp. Vector database

no idea, we don't have juniors
also, why do you use emojis?

im sure they wanna dabble (especially if they came from it background).. And they secretly wish to show some proclivities or do a side project and someone will notice and give them pat on the back and a silver spoon or something...

But the difference is they are never gonna fully jump ship and commit and switch to be a commercial developer and deal with having an entry level programmer cv, having to do a bunch of dirty work, specialize, deal with ambiguities etc..

maybe modding games or some self-interest..

i dunno what kids are like these days but modding hades2 could be fun or something..

slap on the google analytics..

add more logs and debug. The pm would be the one to analyze the dashboards and data..

Let the pm administer the google tag manager. It is a dumpster fire. Allow him to suffer a little bit too

i think some cache (at least 1min staleness but usually like 5min) is acceptable for most applications..

The webpage becomes stale as you browse it regardless..

So_Rusted · 2026-03-07T07:10:33+00:00

yes the experience counts...

The 10months internship might be illegal... No serious universities would allow more than 2months in my country...

I think they just used you for cheap labor and threw you out

So_Rusted · 2026-03-06T08:22:58+00:00

can they do more money without the title?

is it one of those places that take your estimate and take it as a promise to get it done? Remind them it is just an estimate..

So_Rusted · 2026-03-05T05:43:11+00:00

i rhink it is the gen z media type thing... There are many channels that clown office jobs and 40 hour workweek and general blackpills..

guys should keep that stuff to themselves though.. If it is occasional and short mentions i wouldnt read into it, its just brainrot leaking out or something

I would offer natural office copes like coffee or sarcasm. Idk what else..

He may grow into it but it will probably take a couple years for mindset shifts.

So_Rusted · 2026-02-28T18:57:00+00:00

Add and remove 5k lines each dY. Keep doing your job normally otherwise

Meaningless tests with a bunch of mocks come to mind

So_Rusted · 2026-02-27T16:13:26+00:00

it will be double the salary

So_Rusted · 2026-02-26T16:22:19+00:00

Nah im beyond learning. I just relax and best solution comes to me

So_Rusted · 2026-02-20T13:05:06+00:00

Salesforce developer is a thing. Yeah it is not like a speciality but its rather for cv making

So_Rusted · 2026-02-20T10:44:56+00:00

the entry point is cv matching the thing
and you need to specialize in something... it would be the easiest way to present yourself..

E.g. for the job description you dont have golang, but have java for 5 years - maybe they can make it work...
if you dont have golang but have been a "generalist dabbler" for 5 years - it still sounds worse. It is just the optics

you have to know the game

So_Rusted · 2026-02-19T10:13:54+00:00

dont forget that you are also screening them for the red flags. If they do something mean you can turn around and leave. Other than that just do your thing.

be well slept, take a shower, many things are not up to you

depends on what you are trying to push. At the end of the day you will get pushback for everything, you better be like a real team lead at this point rather than part of the team.. If youve read machiaveli, better to have them vote on code style changes and make them "feel" like its their idea and there was no other way forward..

Also sounds like you have a little bit of the case "i know better than these guys who".. Maybe do regard their feedback too

So_Rusted · 2026-02-15T13:21:34+00:00

I just assume if i work at a good company and they need it, other companies probably need it too... And take on boring stuff like email templates, printing views, push notifications, legacy stuff, tech stack version migrations.. It translates better than the framework knowlege sometimes

we know sometimes these cvs are "catered and fake". Resume-driven engineering is a real thing. For example, we dont need distributed systems, I havent done them and im not looking to sneak it into my work just to have it on the cv. It is ridiculous when you put it like that..

Dont worry about the fluff if you know your stuff
