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.

I already made such a framework and it was a glorious mess but everyone had a dependency on it. Ran that con for 4 years until the lead engineer said it has no value now all the users are sitting on a rotting codebase that our leads refuse to support. Now the thing is they didnt axe support because they were intelligent and saw i was inventing work they did it cos they legit dont understand the job we do. Outcome was the same I suppose so it doesnt matter. Now im part of a different wider spaghetti mess effect hundreds of people that im not allowed to do anything to but watch burn while getting flogged for not adding features to it fast enough while they say no to me fixing anything ever.

The fixing is supposedly the responsibility of our outsourced support team who doesnt actually do anything but sit on incident tickets for months then get us to unfuck it. Or if theyre bored break things on purpose.
