Youthful Optimism
(media.mas.to)
Until it's not, and you'll still look like a clown.
What do you get when you cross an overworked dev team with management that sets stupid deadlines and treats them like resources?
The system you fucking deserve.
Not saying it’s sustainable (it isn’t), but Amazon has an insanely high turnover rate, partially because new employees bring a fresh perspective and new ideas. It brings new energy and creativity.
Ofc Amazon achieves that turnover rate by treating people like shit and sooner or later they’ll run out of new people.
Amazon has high turnover because their strategy is to burn through new graduates (the cheapest dev labor) before they get sick of the poor working conditions. This is identical to their warehouse employment strategy.
Theses 2 guys are the same, at different period of life for each,
A pessimist is just a well informed optimist.
I‘m always the guy on the right. As a gifted, autisic person, I have a special view on things. I usually get the boot after 18 months because the boss or some other person in power doesn’t like me optimizing stuff. „We are not used to change our ways.“ was one sentence I often heard when being let go.
Do you get permission from stakeholders before you optimize or do you see a "bent pipe" and just straighten it? If you just do stuff to other people's stuff, right or wrong, I can see how you would get fired. Chaotic good is still chaotic.
Depends. I usually start out getting permission. But as time progresses, these permissions start to become very sparse. Something I repaired in the past (and did so correctly), I wouldn’t get permission later. Reasons were that people felt like too much was changing.
