nfhshy68 | 3 years ago | on: It's easier to manage four people than one

We were all senior. We all got along well. We split into smaller two or three people project teams and worked siloed from everyone else.

Nobody knew what anyone was doing. The lead was stretched too thin. One project would flounder while he focused on managing the others. It was just a mess.

It didn't help there was some low performers on the team constantly slacking off but that was part of the problem room lead wasn't seeing these problems.

I don't think GP was questioning their qualifications. Its exceedingly clear from OPs remarks they don't know what TDD is and haven't even read the article because it covers all this. In detail.

I tried to do a reinstall a while back. Gave up around 4 hours in. Installing arch was easy, getting it how I liked it on the other hand. That was gonna take another couple weekends of figuring out what I did 5 years ago to make X work just right.

Having one doesn't imply you care about it.

Also, cargo culting has never been a good reason to do anything.

I'm surprised anyone actually gives a crap about robots.txt.

Don't put it online if you don't want it crawled. Welcome to the internet.

Your country needs consumer laws. If something craps out like that within a reasonable timeframe for the thing to last you get a refund or replacement. Generally people expect a blender to last for more than a year or two, you'd get your money back after 8 months here easy.

Same goes for whiteware that's expected to last more than 5 generally.

Shops still somehow sell extended warranties though. Crooks.
