  • We solve that problem using naming conventions. Branch names must start with the issue key (we use Jira). You don't do anything in that branch that's not part of that issue. If you do, you must prefix the commit message with the issue key that it goes with. The commit itself identifies what changed. The Jira issue provides all the backstory and links to any supporting materials (design docs, support tickets, etc). I have to do a lot of git archeology in my role, and this scheme regularly allows me to figure out why a code change was made years ago without ever talking to anyone.

  • Despite incessant reassurance from recruiting that they have the best market data and we're paying above average, I have reasons to suspect that's not the truth. One of them being we're hemorrhaging mid-grade talent and focusing on hiring backfills in Ireland and Hungary for much lower salaries. It almost seems like they're trying to offshore the dev group via attrition to work around having to do layoffs...

  • As someone in the US, 40 hours per week is the minimum. Recognition for "being a hard worker" has required 60+ hours at some places I've worked. This is for a fixed salary and no overtime pay, mind you. Then you're usually on an on call rotation every few weeks where you may have to work off-hours if something comes up. That's additional unpaid hours. My current company pays $80,000 USD for new college grad software developers.

    US holidays are 8-10 days, and junior devs usually start with 5-10 days of vacation. Health insurance costs at least several hundred a month (your employer also pays about 3x more than you towards your insurance premium as a benefit).

  • Woah, dial it it back a bit. We're not talking about racial discrimination or violence. OP said people were talking behind their backs and provided no additional details. If you file a HR complaint just because you saw someone whispering while looking at you, you're 100% a narc. If you file a racial discrimination lawsuit because you're a minority and the company isn't firing people you don't like, you're the worst kind of person. If there's more to the story, OP didn't share it.

  • HR exists to protect the company. When you raise a problem to them, you are the one responsible for the problem being put on record. This means you are the problem. Even if you go to HR and they do something about it, you still lose because your coworkers will steer clear of you for being a narc and any chance at a career is pretty much gone. Either work the problem out with your coworkers yourself, ignore it and keep your head down, or find a new job.

  • The pope did not read the full address, instead delegating the task to Monsignor Filippo Ciampanelli. “I still have a cold and it’s tiring to read for a while,” the pope said to the participants assembled at the Vatican.

    Where's your god now? Can't even give his #1 on earth the strength to mumble his message of hate. Fucking losers.

  • I'm 100% against the death penalty, but a gun death seems the way to go. A desert eagle pressed against the temple will guarantee the job is done correctly and death is instant. It's messy, but killing someone shouldn't be easy to handle.

    But if had to choose my way, I'd choose a bottle of good whiskey and a fistful of opioids.

  • I had forgotten what she was fired for and was taking her side in the headline right up till it said "with the help of Elon Musk." Then I knew she had to have done something really dumb. COVID misinformation is no joke kids. Not even once.

  • The basic math is pretty simple. (Estimated payouts + profit margin) / customer count = monthly payments. Then you start weighting it based on risk factors. Criminal record? Your premium goes up. Take an annual gun safety class? Your premium goes down. Insuring an AR-15 with a drum magazine, bump stock, and grenade tube? Uninsurable. Insuring a .22 Beretta? Cheap.

  • Very true. But look at their progression (decent into madness) over the last 30 years. They're getting more desperate every election cycle. Their insane gerrymandering is being thrown out in a lot of cases. Their suppression laws are getting overturned more often. But let's be clear, that's not because our system is cracking down on them; they're so far gone even our broken system is stopping them. They can't win without extreme measures. But watch out, the eruption of violence that is their death knell will be coming soon.
