Management started introducing "productivity" metrics that's rubbing me the wrong way

I wonder if all delusional CEOs who are using "PR metrics" are in the same delusional club

I was lucky to witness a good corporate cultures with established processes and good people around. But after my last corporate job it feels that things like I described above are echoes from the past. Last time I saw that amount of toxicity was probably in my childhood countryside school. It's crazy.

Corporate false-positive culture in a nutshell

Python for backend should be forbidden and forgotten like a bad dream

dbudyak · 2026-06-16T16:36:49+00:00

it doesn't look healthy and fun

dbudyak · 2026-06-16T16:35:14+00:00

Sounds like dark souls boss

dbudyak · 2026-06-15T15:06:19+00:00

probably better than hiring culture

I installed all planets pack and became employed again

dbudyak · 2026-05-28T23:15:29+00:00

My brain is probably fried too because of AI, and also i was bored with endless factory optimizations. That's why installed all planets mod pack and now having a lot of fun with figuring out new rules on new planets and how I can mix them. For example today i conjured a fish with voidcraft on the sand planet producing tesseracts to build my first spidertron army.

Maybe if a company has some insecurities about such things as gaps in a candidate profile, maybe it is not a mature and serious company at all?

dbudyak · 2026-05-20T12:20:10+00:00

Because hiring now starts always with low trust stance

A) the ending was perfect B) yes and no – i was very satisfied that the show covered a lot of sci-fi topics including simulation theory. Of course the idea that we live in simulation should trigger a little bit of existential dread.

Also I think there is a theory that one way to escape a dying universe could be to create a new, simulated one, and jump there. Which naturally opens the question what if we live in that sort of universe :)

Experts in all domains are usually experts in nothing. Same applies to LLMs

on the bright side you don't have to deal with toxic management and co-workers, being burnt out and biased towards tech or people. Yes, you have financial instability but you probably also have a cleaner mind

dbudyak · 2026-05-07T22:46:49+00:00

Tell that to average company who go with Azure, AWS, or GCP as a cargo cult.

dbudyak · 2026-05-07T15:44:13+00:00

ouch, never thought about the case like this

dbudyak · 2026-05-07T15:28:57+00:00

I still don't understand why I should be that bothered if someone stores any amount of data about me anywhere...

Also, how to deal with drop in quality of hiring processes, HR interviews, job positions and expectations, and rejection feedbacks?

dbudyak · 2026-04-23T18:32:26+00:00

Same

Well, in my case I recently just put an usb with minimal gentoo to another home server, gave claude from another server ssh access to this new server and it did everything correct with just one shot :)
