    Tried to do a proper analysis of a bug in homologation that’s preventing our future customer to test the product, while N+3 and N+4 demand twice-daily updates through video call with ten other managers on it. Two weeks of proper madness, that was.

    Stopped the meetings for one fucking day and we had it fixed before 5pm.

      If we don’t have meetings then how am I going to not get any work done this sprint?

      This happens when I outsource reading the docs to AI agents.

      wait… there was a function for that? Why did you tell me to build this house of cards

        How can you not? Like there are specific tells as the other user pointed out, but aside from that so much AI slop just has this absurd uncanny valley quality that Im actually kinda blown away that other people don’t immediately see it.

        The hands on the guy to the left are fucked. The far one’s toes are tiny. Why is the nurse pushing a regular chair like a wheel chair?

    At my last job, there was no planning of work/projects. Like, there was a general plan of “We need feature X by Q3 and here’s what it should do”, but nothing about breaking work down into smaller units or prioritizing different tasks.

    The manager would drop an email: “Hey, can you do …” and that was it. Now it’s another thing to throw down the waterfall. Big surprise, the same bastard would harp about how the project was underperforming!

    Most recently:

    I had to parse an html table with a column of printed python dictionaries, the dicts wrapped a mixed delimiter list of SQL statements of various types.

    It’s truly an abomination.

    I’ve never had to use pythons AST module to parse data before…

    I’ve been doing some shady shit with regex lately (parsing .md files for interactive TTRPG sheets), but I’m glad to have not been touching XML
