I have noticed this since joining a new team this year. There is one person on my team
who is always annoyed and complaining about something but really they just dont get anything done. There are various times I had to work with them, and when there are no blockers whatsoever they wont do shit.
I would love to be able to say “do something about it” when they goes on their rants but american culture is too polite. Most of their contributions to team meetings is
“docked has this new thing that could be helpful” and various other name-drops. Idk if the rest of the ppl are fooled or its just a thing we put up with.
- sublinear 4y agoSounds like you should move over to Docker :p
- wara23arish 4y agoHA, the latest namedrop was “I attended github universe, they’re working on a lot of CiCD stuff that can be helpful “ I think americans are just high trust society so they’re not usually skeptical of people. Im skeptical of myself much less other ppl :D
- badcppdev 4y agoI remember working with a team where a new starter had joined and although he talked a lot in meetings I wasn't sure what he was contributing. I checked the code commits and he had committed 2 things in a couple of months. It wasn't my team so I didn't cause a fuss but from that point onwards I made sure that he wasn't on the critical path for anything I cared about. In hindsight the mismanagement on that team probably led to the exit 5 years later being $100-200 million lower than it could have been. But the company was super stingy with shares so I'm not sure it would have been worth my time rocking the boat. In other hindsight I might have realised why I look angry while I'm at work.
