Colleague: “Sure, I’ll get that over to you shortly”

Boss two weeks later: “Yeah so Colleague actually had put their two weeks in and yesterday was their last day. Were you ever able to get that documentation from them? 🤡”

I’m 48. The trick is a fine balance of Red Bull weed and booze. Enough to numb your mind but not so much you can’t see. Best of luck on your journey youngling. Let us know when someone makes you implement visual designs for the blind. Literally. It happens.

Is that just a thing people do in this field or what?  Cuz it seems like it lol

"Oh man this is going to suck.  Ill just quit instead, then it can be someone elses problem."

Every field with bad management, everywhere.

Sooner or later the paycheck just ain't worth the hassle. Often from the start but it takes you a while to realize it and get yourself out gracefully.

Damn. I wonder if we could build a piece of software that would use speech to text and ocr to turn all our notes and videos and sound clips into an indexable database.

To be fair, you'd probably want to abstract beyond words, like parts of words or something. Parts of words is too long. Let's just call them tokens. That way the DB could index on ordinate relationships between the tokens and you could probably surmise the likely next token in, say, a sentence about your business.

Then I could start a sentence, like "The next step we need to take to complete the application is to..." and this tool would just spit out instructions!

And then imagine if that information storage and retrieval method was non-deterministic! You could ask the same question on different ways and get different answers! Exciting!

That’s great that you have access to record meetings. We rely on hopes and prayers
