People saying users are the bane of IT professionals are just antisocial whiners. The real bane of an IT professional is fucking printers. Fuck printers.

The amount of people absolutely POUNDING several event drinks a day is astounding.
I have a heart condition and couldn’t drink them if I wanted to, without dying, so they don’t believe when I say it’s bad for them.

coffeine makes me sleepy so energy drinks only give me placebo and it doesn’t matter that coffeine barely affects me, could not care less about the caffeine, but
one can usually has an entire day’s maxiumum amount of sugar for an adult in it, that is an insane amout to drinking in an hour or so. and that’s not to even mention that whatever they put in them seems to enjoy making kidney stones!
those things should not be a regular part of anyone’s diet

Engineers hate managers.
Remember next time you get a shitty product, don’t blame the engineer who designed it. Blame the manager who forced him to do it that way.
espentan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
As a former tech manager, I’d argue you’re a pretty shit manager if you tell your people how to solve a problem. Guide, inform, clarify, help remove obstacles etc. etc., but the solution is for the engineers to find.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Look, I don’t wish to be insulting but with a comment like that, I find it hard to believe you worked in any business. While engineers maintain some level of control over product design, like making the product actually function (although I’ve even seen that thwarted by management) they do not usually have the last say in things like ergonomics, interoperability, improvements that cost extra, appearance, business development and many other design parameters.
By management I should point out that I am including anyone who is above the design engineer in the process.
I’ve seen business development guys promise customers impossible functionality because “that’s what I thought they would want.”
I’ve seen schedules created by systems engineers that could not be met if we lived in a Star Trek universe.
I’ve been in meetings where production logic was similar to; if one woman can give birth to a child in 9 months, nine women can give birth to a child in one month.
I’ve seen budgets slashed to the bone or critical people removed from projects for a host of reasons, good or bad.
In an actual example I was in a meeting where the manager of business development didn’t know what the term PC Card slot meant. When he was presented with the product design in a meeting, he asked where the PC Card slot was. So the engineer pointed out that it was internal to the unit, on the motherboard where they were always placed. He did not like this because there was no actual slot on the outside. When it was pointed out that that wasn’t really possible without completely redesigning both the motherboard and the enclosure he insisted we put a slot on the outside. When told that the PC Card slot couldn’t be reached from ANY slot on the outside of the enclosure he made us redesign the end plate to incorporate a PC Card shaped slot that served no purpose except to stroke his ego, and add a costly change to a product with existing tooling and necessitate a PC Card slot sized plug to seal the unit against moisture be designed. We, from that day forward, referred to that end cap as the vanity plate.
Yeah a good manager would do all of those things you said assuming his manager doesn’t stop him, but that’s the point, managers suck. That’s why we hate then.
multifariace@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I blame designers for everything. Keeps the fads and fashion for the well-to-do. The average person needs function first. Why would anything I want to buy for regular use be available seasonally or only come in over the top fancy plastic shapes with weird colors and breaks with less than 100 hours of use. I have a kitchen and office because I use them, not because it accents my overpriced home. I have worked in merchandising from many angles and it sickens me. Even what should be simple packaging on almost all retail products is overdesigned and printed full of lies. And the worst part is the cost of the product is directly related to design. Look at how cheap some knock-offs can be produced. I would never presume the engineer to be the source of the overpriced malfunctions of consumerism.
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
I think the average consumer simply believes its not legal to lie on packaging like that. They might not have even asked the question of whether JTS true or not.

My dad was a marine engineer (ports, harbors, that kind of stuff) and he used to say an architect is an engineer with his brains knocked out.

Technicians hate engineers. An engineer will drag themselves across a field of naked virgins, ignoring them all, in order to fuck one mechanic.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 months ago
As an engineer I can understand that.
It can be a little like a dentist and a dental assistant. The assistant does all the work but the dentist gets the Porsche.

sukhmel@programming.dev 7 months ago
I would guess that in Data Science some things would require you to use local timezone because they are dependent on the actual time of day, and some would require synchronization so use of UTC. Also, some timezones are way off the sunlight time and would skew the data that has dependency on daylight and not on hours

Some may think this is woo woo or superstition , but I lost count of how many times I’ve been like, “why are all the kids acting crazy (even the ones who are normally sane)?” and it turns out it’s a super moon or just a regular full moon.
I think it’s because kids still have that animal brain that sometimes overrides their logical brain.

Entitled customers of any flavour are awful. It’s one thing to know what you want and to decide whether something is worth your money, but it’s another to demand people cater to your specific taste and be a dick about it, as if the devs’ time and effort wasn’t worth anything.
And particularly annoying in my opinion are those who think they know how to fix a given issue, call you an idiot for not “just” doing that and have no idea of the constraints and decisions that might preclude or complicate that “simple fix”.

I was in a waiting room at a hospital recently, and there was a homeless person trying to get out of the heat there as well. He was talking about how he hasnt eaten in days and he doesnt know what hes going to do. Not five feet from him is multiple vending machines filled with food and drinks, just a thin piece of glass barricading them in.
Seeing both of those things next to each other at the same time made me so angry. I dont really know what I’m angry at or who needs to fix it, but I know there’s a problem there that should be fixed.

Surprisingly, ChatGPT is the mortal enemy of a lot of machine learning researchers. It gives people a bad impression about what the field is, poisons future training data, and gives AI researchers who make truly remarkable and useful things a bad reputation because everyone “hates AI” when they really hate the stupid VC backed circlejerk that becomes inevitable in a society like this.
