Ynow I wouldn’t mind if anything i did made even the slightest sense. Like there’s no work to do because there isnt any work. Businesses are just like circle jerking bullshit on all levels while 1 goblin in the basement is keeping everything ticking over so the rest of us can play political battles and kiss ass while doing nothing of value.

Like they’re talking about ai automating jobs but there was no job to automate because we dont do anything.

I keep thinking about the black books sketch of working in the office. Nobody knows whats actually going on or what their job even is you just carve out some niche, get a few consumers of it and thats where you sit in the little piss bucket you have made for yourself knowing deep down it doesnt really benefit anybody.

Just need to mentally check out until i get fired i guess. Use my office hours to make a game the thing i actually want to do.

Dont think for a second adding in qa and code reviews makes it better. Im over here with all the supposed quality engineering processes and its just more oversight more micromanagement more reviews from people who shouldnt be working here at all and it doesnt actually release better code it just makes the job slower and more miserable. I actually wanna go back to qa free cowboy zone because id at least get my autonomy back. Now all i do is make uml diagrams and argue with security teams most recent batshit take that makes me want to snap my laptop in half. Oh and our lead admitted that if theyre in a bad mood they just reject our requests as catharsis.

Otherwise very much the same. Crunch time but not even sure what for or what were making. Just gotta make sure we’re looking miserable because making things isnt even relevant anymore its just a suffering mill thats perpetuated by having too much money and being too big to fail.
