This is like firing 40% of an orchestra and thinking that will make them finish songs 40% faster.

Dear Hospital Staff, To increase efficiency, we are eliminating all blood and urine testing and will lay off phlebotomists and lab technicians.

You’ve nailed the smug satisfaction of a person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, but is absolutely convinced they just revolutionized it.

This comedy sketch is amazingly realistic: this is just like what I watched years ago when I was still working for (deleted name, medical instrumentation and software company) when a middle manager proudly announced that he had reduced the time from manufacturing to shipping by eliminating the quality assurance tets that were the most common cause of failure requiring repair or replacing of parts. This was in front of an audience. The engineers and scientists among us were amazed. The rest applauded.

Immediately rehired because she's the only one who knows the code base
@sunshinelizard1
That anyone thinks 40% of code base equates to 40% of developers is beyond words.

'I also wrote a letter to the local council asking if they could remove the traffic lights near the office in order to eliminate delays from cars stopping there; I haven't heard back yet but I'm very optimistic'

Alberta ignored the 5 bullet point email that's why she was fired.

A lot of people see unit tests as "Nothing wrong now" I've started to see it as "I'm writing them so no developer will fuck up/completely change the functionality in the future"

That's not a coworker. That's the consultant management hired to shift responsibility.

I love how this is both an accurate reflection of things that people in tech have to deal with and also a spot-on metaphor for... something else that is also going on 😭😭😭

Next up: removing comments to boost execution speed. Much optimize. Very smart. Wow.

This is like cost cutting by removing fire alarms from a building and then firing the fire department since there are no longer fire alarms to respond to.
@sunshinelizard1
It's so fulfilling when entire sprints after a release are spent fixing code that broke existing features that have no test coverage and QA has no automated testing for. It's even more fun when the bug list is so long that there bugs in it that are 5 years old.

When Musk bought Twitter, he asked developers for printouts of their code so he could assess their code. That was the day I learned that Musk knows nothing about developing code.
