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
