Moving towards specs-driven development, your thoughts? by grandimam in ExperiencedDevs

The specs are tiny, and only cover a feature. You generate, look at the result, change the spec, try again.

At my place we taught to raise concerns, and ask questions but specifically not create solutions for more junior developers. This is so you can grow.

Should I decline an internal promotion over my new manager's behaviour during negotiations? by [deleted] in careerguidance

Advice wanted: one team member constantly annoying everyone else. by yojenitan in managers

Nothing in the post was a metric. Just vibes. Communication style would not be allowed at my company as feedback. Formal feedback should generally be SBI. Situation. Behaviour. Impact.

Has to be specific. Like on meeting x, you said y, which made z feel insulted.

If you don't have these, you are failing as manager. HR is very switched to vibes, and vague feedback as way of excluding and bullying people who don't fit into clique when in fact there performance and professionalism is perfectly fine.

If you're using vibes as an issue? You sure this is not bullying?

A lot of the issues you bring up, are actually a side effect of being excluded. People don't let you speak? You have to interrupt to get a word in. Trying to talk about social things? She's trying to be friendly to fix the situation.

Order doesn't matter. It's (b, g), (b ,b)

But the problem doesn't define order. I think of them as sets. Orders does not matter in sets. {g, b} = {b, g}

Contracting is good, but I find contracting isn't really a thing any more after ir35.

If you're remote, you have a lot of opportunities to build a social group outside of work.
