No one cares if you leave a ticket open due to a bug or incomplete feature
Product sure as hell cares if you’re going to ship a bug or incomplete feature.
Never worked at company that wasn’t the case in over 15 years.
Product owns the work they ask us to do. We do their bidding.
And we certainly aren’t allowed to just change the scope of tickets at our own discretion without checking in
Apple won’t like that doomsday event lol
Give it long enough and somehow the person who decided on IPv6 will feel the same as every piece of matter we want to interact with can be networked.
I’m sure many smaller companies had their own internal Y2K moment as they scaled and became a big hit, and realized they used a wrong datatype like int instead of long or something and shit was gonna break by XYZ date if they did nothing heh.
This is my typical experience as well, too many people don’t do a code review of their own PR first.
When I was a junior, I had this coworker who did all my reviews. I was doing my absolute best and wanted to show that I was learning, so I would review all my work before submitting it and think, how would he review and respond to this code.
That just stuck with me and it’s my normal practice now.
I eventually learned that’s not as normal as I thought. I also tend to give better code reviews than others.
Edit: the other thing I do is check in with who will be reviewing my code well before I submit anything someone might think is weird and have a discussion about it before the reveiw. If it’s weird, there might be a better way unless were stuck due to technical debt or something, and doing that early vs at the end usually saves time.
So say we all
I’ve caught problems in code review and had to do this even.
Often it’s reading it and realizing there’s a complicated edge case or they missed something entirely.
Sure we can make a different ticket for that to move this along, but we’re getting product to agree first.
Hey Google, how do I use these tide pods?
Well, you can use them to do your laundry, all you need to do is toss one in the wash.
You could also use them to impress your friends by shoving one up your butt.
For extra points you could swallow one as well.
I can’t wait for it to recommend drinking bleach to cure covid.
I was so excited to try one out when I was in San Francisco, but now that’s it feels lame :(
One of the ones I’m working on today I’m actually exempted from being disallowed its use, although it does still require some changes.
I’m still dreading the moment I submit the app though and their AI declares I don’t meet the requirements, and I go into the doom pit of their non existent support.
At least on Apple it’s possible to interact with a human pretty easily.
And as a developer android is looking more and more like iOS as it becomes more restricted on what you can do.
The two are converging

Apple has the same feature on their laptops, but it’s “AI” driven so it can decide for you if you want 85% or 100%. Except it’s a fucking joke and almost always charges it to 100% and they don’t give you a way to say fuck the AI let me decide.
The worse it is, the more money they make on battery replacements.
My M1 will make it through an entire workday doing software development with multiple IDEs and emulators running and my phone plugged in also drawing power. When that happens, the only reason I notice is in the last 30 minutes of the day it gives me a low battery warning. These Mx chips are beasts.
