Returning and finding everything done is equally suspicious. That’s when you have to take a closer look and discover what spaghetti made it through peer review.
Or worse, it means you’re not as good as you thought you were.
Also, all the automated tests were commented out.
Fucking. The word is FUCKing. Fucking.
You can’t swear on the internet
FUCK, I forgot.
The hell I can’t.
This post right here officer, look at this man saying such illegal words on the internet!
It just irritates the fuck out of me when people write an obvious swear word but either omit letters or “censor” them with eg. *, like that somehow makes it not swearing even though EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THAT FUCKING WORD IS.
Either don’t swear if you think it’s so bad, or just write the naughty words out instead of pretending “f*ck” isn’t a bad evil naughty word because you hid one letter like a fucking mentally deficient child.
FUCK.
I once had to go on a longer medical leave, couple of months. In preparation, I documented everything - pages upon pages answering all questions in easily searchable formats. For more than a month, any questions I got were answered with links to specific sections in the documentation, so people would know where to find everything. I put the links everywhere, in total there were at least 200 links to various sections of the documentation throughout all our communication mediums, as well as all information repositories.
After I came back from leave, most of the things I was responsible for were turned off. When I asked why, the response was “we didn’t find your documentation”.
I no longer care whether things keep working.
If you have to explain every fucking thing, it’s good nothing happened
Generally when you go on holiday and do a detailed handover to another dev, you find the team spent the week fighting some crazy fire in prod or sudden shift in priorities from up the chain. Don’t think I’ve ever had them actually complete my work.

We take vacations so our peers learn to cope and our management learns why mentorship is valuable.
Didn’t expected a “Great Teacher Onizuka” meme after all these years but yeah!
Glad to meet a fellow GTO fan
The question is, was nothing done because they’re incompetent or because they don’t care about the job and were able to do nothing with a “good” excuse
Yes
Maybe, part of your job is to not touch anything in a random day and observe what happens when something breaks. That way, you can document what’s not being fixed so that your team is more prepared when you’re actually not there.
This is the result of so called tribal knowledge in software development. It’s even worse when the senior citizen who understands everything retires, goes senile, or dies.
Sometimes I am happy about the increase in AI assisted coding specifically so junior devs won’t get as stuck without outside help. Very frustrating when they don’t reach out when they struggle, but at least they can privately copypaste into ChatGPT and get ideas. But, still requires a fine toothed comb when you’re doing the review to know if any toilet tier material sprayed out.
