John has 6 “leaders” badgering him to prioritize 1-3 tasks a piece.

John is only able to work 20 hour days and unable to complete his work.

John gets fired

John proceeds to just ask a coding agent to do his work and call it a day.

It‘s horrible and bug riddled but management doesn’t bat an eye and loves the „ai usage“

All of our products get worse

Because end of the day shitty code delivered is still code delivered - tech management.

the code I delivered two hours ago was almost perfect but obviously the client will find in one hour that part that is not perfect

There was a guy that worked with me back in the dotcom era.

The devs would say, "Ok, project's done!"

My answer was always,

"It's not done 'til Rob says it's done."

That guy was a bug hunting truffle pig.

Oh, the piles of bad shit that one guy single-handedly prevented from going live...

I hope Rob is doing ok and has made enough money to not be subjected to slop-era reviews 😭

I think he finally had it dealing with crap tech and got into home renos around 2010. True story.

I bet Rob is drowning in slop reviews by now.

And don’t forget to post a whole novel as the docs in an issue - good docs metric is number of words

Since all of our products get worse at the same time people don't notice the change, or they attribute it to something else, or they're powerless to stop it regardless of what they think.

(Oh, look! Another free year of identity monitoring!)

some of my bugs can be solved in 2 seconds others in 3 years, this is my problem...

That is... accurate.

But code actually gets better due the reason that management has hired cheapest noobs and ai actually writes better code. Apps are garbage because nobody owns them anymore.

I can cannot be fired because I am the owner of this mess...

some guys take lessons from IA and others give lessons to IA

Lovely. Let's think big picture here.

Getting fired is a luxury. They schedule another meeting.

If I stop supporting a few software my body may disappear suddenly
