carry on then posted:the hot poo poo new product our org has released is literally software to create an on-prem private cloud sell it to me please because our infrastructure dept are rolling their own and like everything else they do it's taking huge amounts of time and providing no benefit to anyone except them because they get to piss away money delivering nothing as usual the other day they said "oh no you can't access the private cloud from the other areas of the network, it's private!" to which they were promptly asked "are you loving serious? what the gently caress is the point in that?" by a senior manager lmao

thanks all. i can see why the cloud is useful, but people seem to really get off on developing stuff in the cloud and that weirds me outDELETE CASCADE posted:idk, the company i work at only has around 100 people but has been around since 2000, so we run our own hardware in a local datacenter. we evaluated the cost to migrate everything to aws and found it would be significantly more expensive than to just keep doing what we're doing. if the company was founded today everything would be in the cloud and we'd design it with that in mind, but given that we already have the IT folks who know how the infrastructure works... same boat. we'd need to massively rearchitect to be able to even host our product in the cloud because lol @ 20 years of doing everything in a big, powerful db. we can only scale up, not out

developing stuff for Cloud VMs isn't any better than developing for local vms. The big thing is doing development for platform as a service languages like asp.net where you can just deploy your app to azure and it handles everything including vm management. Scaling is way more cost effective and if you ever wanted to not run it on azure that's fine cause its asp.net and it will run anywhere so you can go back to the dark ages of server management.

Soooooo... CEO sent out an email this morning covering such important topics as:
- length of lunch breaks - leaving at 5 is considered leaving early - non-work related conversations I think the CEO is willing to take feedback as he doesn't really have experience managing software engineers. I'm currently planning to share links to Netflix cluture and the article on "proper feeding of software engineers", but I really want to just say "we don't need a fuckin babysitter" since as far as I know, myself and the other dev are easily hitting 40 hrs/week and cranking out code. This job is actually the most productive I've ever been in my career, in terms of hours out of the day spent on task vs. browsing forums/twitter/whatever. what do?

Filter that feedback through middle management, if possible, in case that helps not paint a target on your back. Managers that can't realize that the real question is, "Does employee X get the job done?" and not, "Does employee X work the way I want them to?" are the worst.

If anyone is interested in an update, I talked to the CEO. As I suspected, he hasn't ever managed programmers before. He's been a finance bro for his whole career, and it actually started out pretty well but... I pointed out that successful tech companies like Netflix and Airbnb are actually fairly rules-light, which he seemed honestly surprised at. I also said (thanks to responses here) pointed out the email was basically whip-cracking, which is very demotivating for any employee, but especially for programmers. He also seemed responsive to the notion that you should judge a programmer by his results, regardless of how hard he works. This could all be blowing smoke up my butt, but what DOES track is that I'm not the one with a target on my back... the other programmer is. According to CEO, he "looks at his phone all the time!" and "takes long lunches". Hilariously, I pointed out that I do the same. His response was, "But I don't SEE you doing those things!" The other dev is definitely a junior dev, which I've pointed out, and his code is not terrible. (He does need a lot of hand-holding, but we all do as junior devs, imo.) So, I tried to stick up for the poor guy, but for whatever reason the CEO just doesn't like him... which is frustrating because junior dev is a good guy and there's a decent chance that someday someone else will have the target on their back and welp. So... kind of a mixed bag there.
