My 24 holidays are my 24 holidays, as long as I bill them 2 weeks (one sprint) on advance. Which part is exploited? (and also in what country, for legal reference)
I mostly mean the lack of proper universal healthcare that forces many workers in the us to use holidays for sick days. I was assuming that’s the reason 3 weeks of holidays sounds outlandish to the original commenter.
We get underpaid and an unreasonable amount of money still flows to shareholders etc. Essentially we still suffer from all the exploitation that comes with capitalism.
Can’t help but think of a “senior dev” “explaining” (hing: brain-dumping) some bizarre reasoning why his unusable untested undocumented untyped API uses floats for item counts or something, and expecting the “junior dev” to just nod and keep that in their mind and adapt to it.
(Instead of making every possible excuse not to work with that API and instead doing something else where they can make some progress without going insane.)
Just started a new job last week. Ive been in the industry for 3 years so not completely junior but getting in to a new codebase is always rough. Especially when only 1 huge library file is documented, every component is cluttered af and most variables and parameter names are 1 character long.
Doesnt help that functions are 100 lines either when each the parameter names makes the logic incomprehensible.
