Your boss sucks. Responsibility for a junior RCG’s success/failure in their first year rests mostly on their managers and senior peers. You have to fuck up pretty severely for the blame for any shortfall to shift to your shoulders. Unf

These are not dev choices these are PM / biz dude choices. Devs are code monkeys who do what they’re told.

How about low IQ accommodations?

by faangiq 5y ago
Yes, this is obviously more efficient. And hence contrary to the purpose of daily stand ups which is to waste everyone’s time to make the manager feel empowered and remind the slaves who owns them.
