Don't want to become @[email protected] but here more pixel:
But why would that be a bad thing? 🙁
You do good work and we’re glad to have you. If no one’s being a stickler about quality, then the data decay would just get worse.
I appreciate you.
I try to be less of a stickler and more of an advocate by providing the higher quality version instead of just complaining.
Providing instead of complaining, now that's something new.
I'm only learning who you are through context of THIS conversation. How have I never seen you before?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Should you even expect to know who I am? It's not like I'm a celebrity or contribute to the same level as The Picard Maneuver et al.
Not a bad thing. I love your work.
Why thanks. I'll change the post to this image.
I'm now very curious about what it was like before.
As a teen I used to go snowmobiling in the winter with my friends late at night. At the time in the 90s it was boring and it got to the point where dozens of other teens would join us in a giant parade of snowmachines outside of town. There was always a small clique of older teens that led the way and we all followed them. It was fun, it was dangerous and it was something to do.
I remember being in the top fourth or fifth machine in a group one night and I didn't want to ride any more. I turned off because none of it was being done with any rules or anything, people could come and go as they pleased. As soon as I turned off, all 20 machines behind me followed me home, parked at my place and asked me if there was something going on tonight. I told them I was just going home and went inside and left them alone.
That was one of the points in my life that made me realize that people just follow whoever is in front of them without ever really realizing why.
Maybe they too just wanted to go to your home.
Every time people ask me where the architecture is heading I think, "How should I know? I just graduated; someone above me will figure that out." Then I realize it's been almost 20 years and I am actually expected to know how databases work and I am one of the most senior in the department. I feel like this goose a lot.
Yeah, it's horrible to realise it's you who are the adult now. But explains why the world is shit.
So what you guys are saying is that the world is being led around by people who don't really know what they are doing?
The good people admit that. The bad people don't. And the Dunning-Kruger people will confidently tell you they do know what they are doing.
Yes, and that's true for all world leaders and big corporation's CEOs as well.
I find this much more likely, and much more scary, than the conspiracy theories.
Stop that! I'm not Senior, just old!
¡Hola señor!
First upvoter just here to say this post is gonna do numbers
“Ffffffffffhonk!”
He's not the messiah!
I wish I was in that position. I never want to hear "good code is its own documentation" ever again.
Maybe put something in the documentation that says "If you tell me good code is it's own documentation, I will lose my temper and slit your throat. And if you wear a pink baseball cap to work, the next day I'll give you a donut."
And then you get work only with people who read your documentation.
You know......on account of how you murdered the others!
Ah management.
