[Work] Why am I surrounded by short-sighted idiots?

Craftyviking
Dear Thomas, please don't release any more changes to code that will a) affect everyone's code/functionaly
affect functionality already in production without clearing it with everyone and getting that shit tested


Craftyviking
PS. Your boss is pissed at you

Craftyviking
T is a dev on one of the other teams. He is a consultant from another firm than me. His boss (AKA CEO of said firm) is my team lead. When we have to put out fires that T makes by not testing properly Bossman gets pissed

Craftyviking
dash.
I figured you'd know this pain

dash.
oh fml

dash.
why would you ever

Craftyviking
Because T is full of himself and thinks he knows best

Craftyviking
The thing is, this isn't even the second or third time this happens... It has happened a lot in the last few months

dash.
how is he... still employed?

dash.
Like I'm not even being sarcastic holy...

Craftyviking
I don't know but I think he needs to pull his head out of his ass if he wants to stay employed

Le Tits Now
Oh my god

dash.
yah! That's an instant dismissal for gross incompetence at my work I cant even.

dash.
slay him

Le Tits Now
how the hell does he even have a job anymore?!

Craftyviking
It also amuses me because he is one of the people who constantly bitch about the choice of technology and shit here

Craftyviking
Well, it is harder to fire people in norway

Craftyviking
But he does need to clean up his act

Craftyviking
This was after I discovered that the most senior of the front end developers today has totally broken with the pattern we have established in the code and is thus causing unnecessary calls to the server. This is the same dev, JO, that six months ago turned off our feature testing

Craftyviking
and never turned it back on

Craftyviking
And now claims all the devs need to step it up to get them back on

dash.


Craftyviking
Does it make your test lead heart cry?

Craftyviking
Because I think our test lead feels that way

dash.
so... so much. things like this make me want to go hug our devs

Craftyviking
Glad to be of service

dash.
(I bought them donuts so that will be my, thanks for not being this level of WTF)

Craftyviking
Today I am just feeling the Schadenfreude.

Craftyviking
Also I get to be the one to swoop in and fix that shit

Le Tits Now
Yeah, I want to thank our devs for being awesome and also telling us stuff

Craftyviking
The thing is we're also a massive project

Craftyviking
Not the biggest I've ever been on but we're 5 teams of 5-8 developers on each + testers, managers and so on

Craftyviking
Probably up around 80 or so people total

Craftyviking
Go hug your devs. Or get them snacks

Craftyviking
We like hearing that

Craftyviking
we are good

dash.
Yeah like, this build we're releasing in the morning has been full on and there's been plenty of stupid but, at the end of the day? We're all working together and that sort of thing has never happened o.o

dash.
So baked goods is my way of saying, yup you can breathe again TY

Craftyviking
Yeah good call
