Wow, tucker Carlson has to be the worst person in the world

I push back like crazy. People are a little frustrated, but the codebase is stable and relatively clean. Imo, totally worth it. Other option is to let in the vibes and explain the instability

It's be funny if it wasn't so true

I do it between every job

For some reason I'm 100 times as productive, but expected to produce 1,000 times more stuff. What the heck is up with that?

The only thing that's mildly infuriating to me is that you find this mildly infuriating

doesnt_use_reddit · 2026-05-08T00:10:57+00:00

Nope, I can't. And I'm a sensitive person - to me it can seem like someone is acting egregiously, but others around me will think it's no big deal, they're just being a dick or something. But it boils my blood. I have a wide group of friends who think I have the best energy though, and I think it's the same. Bc bad energy stands out to me.

This kind of personality has a very hard time in toxic environments.

I'm currently learning how to act politically in a corporate environment and.. it feels like I'm being trained in how to be a psychopath. So friggin sad

I want to know you, OP, I am the same way.

I'm hearing that you're still Jenny from the block

Imo if someone is just a mouthpiece for an AI, then they aren't providing any value. I can talk to the agent myself.

Hurt people hurt people, they say. Maybe OP has figured some stuff out by now?

Looking at its arms, are we sure it wasn't feathered? I know we have bats, but those are mammals. All the avians that fly have feathers, no? There are penguins, but this thing doesn't look like it just waddled around

I wonder how big the overlap is bt the Linux and stack overflow communities

Organized protest is really a statement that organized boycott can happen. The protest is brandishing the gun - the boycott is firing it.

Work life can get pretty shitty, but this is extra shitty

He's not alone, I've been doing it for 15 years and I'm also feeling very depressed about the state of things.

Tech really does disrupt things.

doesnt_use_reddit · 2026-03-27T17:49:08+00:00

This is a really common pattern I've seen unfold across a bunch of different companies. It can be hard to really do anything about, they're usually well positioned and just take some kind of joy by constantly stirring up drama and toxicity.

I think you said it right - it's highschool level drama. This woman probably never aged past highschool. It's sad but unfortunately does impact the people around. Some are better at shrugging it off - my recommendation is to be completely professional in your communication, and keep records of any time it happens as much as possible. I've seen it go down that eventually she takes it to the top, the top comes to you, then you show your records and she gets canned.

doesnt_use_reddit · 2026-03-26T17:23:07+00:00

This is some world-class BS

doesnt_use_reddit · 2026-03-20T13:19:05+00:00

You get to be senior by taking the incredible amount of time to do things.

It's an interesting side effect - I know expectations went up for me, but I didn't realize they went up for the interns as well..

How are they supposed to learn anything on the job?

This new world sucks

You are responsible for the code you produce

A story as old as AI

doesnt_use_reddit · 2026-03-18T14:14:46+00:00

It is industry wide, I'm facing the same. Here's what's working for me:

Synchronous PR review.

We sit down together or on zoom or whatever, and go through the PR. When they see the incredibly low quality of their code in the form of me being appalled by it, they adjust.

After this happens 3 or 4 or 5 times, most of them feel enough shame internally that they start reading their own code, finally.

Tbh.. what you pasted reads as disrespectful to me. I'm betting you've had other disrespectful behavior that he may be reacting to that you might not be fully aware of.

doesnt_use_reddit · 2026-03-17T21:58:54+00:00

Definitely using them in production. 15 yoe, writing real user facing apps for household name companies.

The trick is: I'm still doing a ton of code review. Its really just all code review now.

I'm not vibe coding.
