@Kazanjy dogs pooping isn't an inconvenience, it's part of having a dog
whether or not you think it 'makes sense', it sure didn't hinder us in any way, which makes your position these activities are "unacceptable" confounding, if nothing else
lol we built farmers dog with dogs running around the office at all times. i stepped away to clean up so many accidents, and none of the dogs were mine.
If you want to understand why your 22-28 year old staff have wildly confused understanding of professional norms - there's currently a (mildly satirical) LinkedIn post by a WFH SDR talking about how he spends a bunch of time throughout his "average day" changing diapers of his (super cute) 2 month old and reading books to and playing with his (super cute) 2 year old while calling and booking meetings.
The post has like 500 likes and 100+ comments with people celebrating this.
Again: LinkedIn (and Instagram and Tiktok) is actively installing brainworms in your staff. You have to counter it.
I love kids as much as the next person - but being a hybrid childcare provider and sales person is unacceptable.
@Kazanjy to be really clear...
1) dogs are never an inconvenience
2) dogs are in no way 'necessary' to produce software (or run a biz of any kind)
dogs, kids, or whatever, people can be productive and perform their role while taking time for 'non-work' tasks during the day.
Ah! You should pay other companies to do it, always, to the extent that they can.
But every company needs a (thin?) layer of customization between their PaaS and their applications. Glue code, pipelines, component configs. That you will always have to build yourself.
The first Platform Engineering NY meetup is being planned for June!
Have a talk for the community?
Reach out to myself, @sudomateo, @clesleycode, or @sfurino
Git is far from ergonomic, but I find it interesting this resonates with so many. Why does this happen? What is the friction to actually learning how it works?
Probably a good time to shout out that we're hiring

The difference with hooks and actions is they’re purely convenience. Best to avoid unless your really confident you can establish enforce a correct, strict standard for usage.
Theres a lot of flexible software that lets you hurt yourself. Git, jenkins, k8s are some things that come to mind for me, and they get there share of flack (especially k8s).
@AdamRackis@thdxr@t3dotgg Disagree. This could definitely lead to fatal mistakes for startups that take the wrong shortcuts in search of pmf or to cope with early stage growth. The team improves over time with success/funds, but its often a race against the problems from the original naive/shit team.
