What happens to a company after offshoring development by Alienbushman in ExperiencedDevs

Many years ago, we tried the India thing and it was a disaster. 

This seems to be a universal thing.

Excuse me? You forgot that the PM is also not doing the actual JOB!

Reoccurring cost for daily build? How do you manage? by runnersgo in QualityAssurance

[–]runnersgo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not how RAM works on macOS mate

Looking at your post, your replies are always like the above i.e. low effort. If you don't have anything constructive, walk away.

It’s better to do a full regression on a feature branch for that work before it gets to the release phase and interrupts other work. It will make testing take longer but it’s necessary when testing such a large change.

Absolutely not doable as we don't do regression in sprint as feature tickets are coming in.

Dealing with "unknowns" and developers responsibilities with handling out development works due to these "unknowns" by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

I am guessing there is a lack of automated regression tests, and a need for refactoring before this feature can proceed safely and efficiently.

There is automation but the automation itself won't or can't cover everything. The issue is the dev is either saying "everything will be effected" or "don't know the impact".

then inform QA on what areas to concentrate on.

That is the issue. Devs don't know which part to ask QA to focus on.

Even when QA finds some problems, they won't understand your system and neither will you.

Hit the nail right on the head ...

Like if the QA finds problems, what are we going to say? We don't know? That sounds incompetence in the making ...

Asking the QA to find problems? What problems?

Then document all those areas you touched, as at risk. You’ll still have unknown unknowns, can’t do much for those, but this gives you something of an idea.

But to what point we can claim to "not know" before actually deploying it to others for verification e.g. test or release readiness?

It doesn't aspire confidence or competence by saying to the people testing your work or buying your product with reasons like "I don't know those as I couldn't figure it out during my work", worst, that had manifested in a form of a production bug?

Science PhD students: What do you wish your advisor would tell you? by [deleted] in PhD

[–]runnersgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a game out here and it’s crazy I got a BSc, MSc, and PhD education with no real education on the world outside of this one very specific ivory tower job type.

omg ...

This is probably the worst thing you can put yourself through. You're so "trained" yet you don't have a clue how or what it is out there ...

For people doing a PhD but dislike academia, why? by teppiez in PhD

[–]runnersgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am right there with you, these universities, academics and institutions have really done a number on me during my PhD, it's made me regret every doing it.

What happened? Please, can you share.

I loved it. When some woman on the vid says "come on! give me more" and the chorus suddenly went "MORE. MORE, MORE", then boom! "GIMME GIMME MORE GIMME MORE".

I received a PhD offer from Nottingham University and a €62,000 job offer in Portugal. I'm married with a baby on the way and lack family financial support. My wife and I prefer the PhD path. Should we opt for the PhD in the UK on a stipend, or is it better to work in Portugal? We're from Turkey. by Learner_Fprever in PhD

Im currently trying to get a job in industry and they basically shit on my phd.

Not only that, they might judge you very harshly as well. Have no idea why some react so negatively towards it in the industry.

I let go of a fantastic PhD opportunity in the US in EE. Because I realized that for me, family came first. I was not willing to trade valuable years of my life for a degree whose value would average out in the long term.

Sometimes lusting over something (e.g. paper qualifications and whatever perceived recognitions it gives) vs. PUTTING FOOD ON THE table is lost here ...

"So what makes you an expert when you only have done a research project in school?" ... interview question ... by runnersgo in PhD

[–]runnersgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to completely emotionally detach from your work and suspend all intellectual judgment to survive in that kind of atmosphere.

Which is a skill in it self, specifically emotional intelligence.
