#12Spotify also keeps bewaking every update, so I do not trust their opinions

#13The co-CEO gives a terrible example. A developer is working while commuting? How clear is one's thinking skills during that time? How safe is that to deploy a production commit? Does Spotify test in prod?
and why do they need to commute at all?

#15They haven't written code in years seeing how their piece of shit desktop app uses more ram and cpu cycles to stream 192kbps music in a day than the entire NASA stack for all Apollo missions combined. They should ask Claude to rewrite it in a real programming language

#16I can picture the entire hierarchy telling whoever's next up the chain what they're demanding to hear.
I'd be scripting the consumption of lots of credits and sending the output to /dev/null to get a glowing performance review.

Look into spotifyd if you want some resource usage sanity.

#20Man, a friend of mine hasn't written code for years. He generally comes in at least fifteen minutes late, using the side door - that way the boss can't see him, - and, uh, after that he just sorta spaces out for about an hour. He just stares at his desk; but it looks like he's working. He does that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week he probably only does about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work, and even that's just filling out TPS reports.
