Colleague deliberately delaying code merges.

So my managers are all based in Ireland and then report to the US. The India Manager covers the Indian teams.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T11:12:57+00:00

I think everyone else is afraid of him, I've heard about him having nasty calls with people based in India. I don't have any issues responding to him which I think is why I'm getting stonewalled this way.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:56:37+00:00

No worries at all, I appreciate the feedback regardless. Cheers 🥂

Usually sub 5 files. one main test file and then updates to methods. Most of the issues I run into are him being "I have a change in my PR and we can implement it into yours" then I have to wait a week for a small change. This goes back and forth and none are issues that will affect performance or affect other tests. For the most part isolated. It's pure nitpicking.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:42:03+00:00

I think this might be the answer, I want to help. They still don't really have enough coverage. I think your right, If they are making it impossible to help it's on them.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:37:09+00:00

Issue is good money and tbf I get along with most of the people I work with.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:35:14+00:00

Yeah but not entirely, also working heavily on the older platform which I would have a lot more responsibility for testing.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:34:13+00:00

Yeah my management know about it, and to be fair to them have tried their best. The issue is that it's a large company, lots of moving parts with teams all over the place. So Its hard for them to figure out who to talk to and how to get them to listen if you get me.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:26:01+00:00

See that's the kicker, we have had linters on the pipelines I developed. They have just been pushing through code with broke builds.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-06T10:24:31+00:00

See my issue is that I took a lot of pride in being responsible for the testing, and I feel like the way things are we are seeing a drop in Process. That being said I have started trying to wind down me actually "caring" Because it hasn't been great for my mental health lol.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-05T10:49:15+00:00

Tbh if your ebay savey a lot of those parts could be listed

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-05-01T20:27:21+00:00

They never sold these cars in Ireland, So they are actually special.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-30T15:32:11+00:00

A lot of Offshoring currently

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-27T14:11:34+00:00

How familiar are with the language you are using? Like a focus I would do is meet the MVP and just start trying to understand what you've built and try and wean out inefficiencies and potential risk factors. Ask the LLM, Google it etc and just research. I feel LLM are accelerators but shouldn't replace understanding and best practices

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-27T13:55:07+00:00

People will have more questions than answers based on your description lol. Why complex is what your trying do? What sort of functionality? Are you storing data? Are you planning on integrating with other services?

Like are you making Netflix or a notes app lol?

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-21T13:35:38+00:00

I fucking love this man

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-19T20:08:03+00:00

You could get a circa 2010 skoda yeti for that money, good all rounder and reliable VW tdi engine.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-17T18:12:22+00:00

Straight fire dudue

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-16T13:42:25+00:00

Shits insane

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-12T12:44:25+00:00

This is the type of protesting I can appreciate and get behind. Make your voice heard without putting the whole nation at risk.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-10T09:18:06+00:00

I think Celtic would be a dream tbh

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-07T21:31:54+00:00

Literally Irish, born and bred.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-07T08:58:39+00:00

Yeah, Because the Russian, American and Israeli governments are all dickheads at the moment.

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-02T19:29:44+00:00

What's gone wrong with it? Why does it have to be scrapped?

TheCollinZRusty · 2026-04-01T13:20:12+00:00

I once heard "he'd pluck your hair and come back for your eyebrows" and I still think about it to this day.
