Yeah yeah yeah but ignoring that… Would you?

I don’t know what else to say…

You sure? You wrote a novel based on a couple of sentences my dude.

Algorithm is not a dirty word. Any sorting or filtering is an algorithm. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean we need to kill it off, just don’t use them.

This is the way, and for comments added on posts

Once business/product start dipping their hands into the How, “I know how to design this” you know you’re cooked on the team. That’s what got me too, some manager who had probably 6 months of coding experience and then went into management was trying to tell me with 12 years of experience how I should architect. They’ll constantly lie to you convincing you that you’re the wrong one, when you have all of that experience

I feel you, and I’ve passed over on re-up as well and know the sting. It’s not as bad as getting fired, but there’s still a feeling of rejection there.

Gone but not forgotten :(

Thanks for all of this, I’ve been reading into these options since you left your comment. You trust them then? No logging, secure? Good endpoints?

Thanks, basically take it as you do something well, and they hire you because you do it well. They ask you to do the thing you do well, you build out plans, you build out solid options, write it all up and present it all. Then your manager who has about 4 months of experience doing what you do for a living tells you that he doesn’t like it, and that you should do it in the worst possible way forward. You don’t get a say. Then it all rolls from there.

It does make me feel better. I do know that morale tanked after I left. Not me being self centered, I’ve had multiple people tell me that there was a noticeable drop in morale because people knew it was bullshit. They had to have several meetings saying “They didn’t fit our culture” but my colleagues weren’t stupid. They knew who I was and what I was like, they knew it was a political move. I don’t expect they’ll all leave because of me or anything, but I do hope that it’s just the first couple rocks in an avalanche.

Know that I completely empathize with everything here, even the consultancy bits. It kills me when companies won’t do basic things like CI/CD. In fact, that’s one of the major red flags. If a company isn’t minimum doing some sort of pipeline to go to prod it’s pretty much a no from me at this point. It’s such an important critical security step that if you didn’t do that, you’re not doing a lot else either.

Sounds like you’re where I was, but you’ve had a longer timeline luckily. Don’t let them blame you, don’t let them put it on you. Sounds like you’re walking that political tightrope pretty well.

Thank you for the kind words, I’ve been feeling pretty low since then and your last few words made me smile :)

A nod to our former Admiral Patrick, who sadly has left. Captain Swift!

I’m hoping for being “that swiftie person”

They had one single Prometheus node for the entire company and couldn’t figure out why it needed so much CPU. They never once thought that maybe they set it up incorrectly

Like most of Hollywood right now, if executives and producers stopped trying to make everything into generic action franchise movie, then it might be good. Tron was always a cult movie. Small loyal following who dragged countless friends family and living spouses to go sit for 2 hours to watch it.

If they would have kept it an ultra sci fi movie truly for the fans - it could have done moderately well. But they don’t want moderately well, they want ultra blockbuster so tried to make it appeal to everyone. So it appeals instead to no one, and here we are. Another franchise on the fire.

Is it Tron’in time yet?

That was fine. The fact that it looks like 90% of Arse looks like it’s in fucking LA for what we all know is cost savings makes me 0 interested

Here’s a signed affidavit that we will never here about Ares ever again

Perfect summary. “Nobody knows why they did”. Spot on. Literally there was no point for this nothing of a story. No one wanted this premise, no one wanted Jared Leto, no one wanted Tron without the sickass graphics.

Not only that but apparently they were worried about if it’s too sci fi it’ll scare away people. Well congrats, by making it a bland action movie now not only did you make it not worth seeing for the general populace, now the few of us who actually liked Tron are so annoyed with it we aren’t seeing it either.

That 8 hours is a godsend. You reminded me of another story there. My first week, my first few days I went into office. I had about 5 hours of work because you know, onboarding. After that I sat around for an hour or two, asking people what to do, reading documentation, you know. After 7 hours I was like (to the same manager), do you have anything else for me? Or should I get going for day. He said nope! Great first day, see you tomorrow! I literally thought nothing of it, it’s the first week, that’s how all first weeks are. Onboarding is always slow.

That bastard sat me down in my second week saying they had a strict 8 hour in office policy and that “I had been noticed”. I reminded him that he was the one who said I could leave early and that on even that day I was in earlier than he was. I learned that it didn’t matter if I showed up at 7am, if I left at 3 they would think I’m “leaving early”. My ride unfortunately dropped me off every day at 7, so I ended up having to work 9 hour days every day in office so they wouldn’t think I was slacking off.

That’s exactly how it is. Every project now I’m worried everyone is against me and that one slip up will be it. My confidence is at zero and all because that of that shit manager. I appreciate the words, it’s something I’ll have to overcome over time.
