I left the IT industry just over a year ago and have some observations. Hopefully they will bring a smile and some encouragement to the stressed.
- Devs can be dicks to each other
- Managers can be dicks to devs and vice versa
- Devs need to get outside more, not just when travelling to work
- Devs should look up and not play games at lunchtime
- Devs should not eat their lunch at their desk
- Devs should enjoy good coffee but not be weird about it
- Devs should mix with others in the company, even sales and admin
- Devs should leave their work at work
- Devs should go outside to places where they can find a partner
- Devs should say hello to people when they arrive in work
- Devs should say goodbye to people when they leave work
- Devs should either walk, run, climb, garden, chop wood, sail, fish, build and/or go out for dinner at the weekend.
