I’m 10+ years into a project that i thought would take like a few months - *face palm*
A project at work is evidently at least 25 years and counting of being about 6 months away from being successful.
oh i hate that.
I was promised to work on projects, projects by definition have an end date, which would mean i’d work on new projects after a given time, because old projects are done.
the projects?
- keeping this boring ass old product running!
- building a product and keeping it running.
i don’t mind the keeping it running part so much, i mind that those are my “projects” until someone decides they don’t want thebproduct anymore.
hells for boring ass old project, there is basically zero new stuff, just cleaning up messes earlier devlopers left.
What’s it like having children?
No children, just ADHD
So no pets then?
We don’t do this not because it is hard,
But because we thought it would be hard
I do this not because it is easy, but because I am hard.
Me and Fromsoft games.
ADHD and programming is a fun mix.
“We do this because once it’s automated it’ll be so much faster, I swear! We’ll make up the dev time in… ~5 years if no further adjustments are needed~”
And don’t get me started on maintenance and dependencies. On a big enough project that’s a job for life
Progress on ticket: 0% Progress on things that bothered me while starting ticket 273%
I put really boring tasks into the backlog to motivate my developers to do everything else faster.
Huh? If they’d do everything else faster, they’d only get faster to the boring stuff. How is that an incentive?
This is appropriately on the wall at Rich Rebuilds.
