00:00 - 00:05 | So he says get all your ducks in a row, i am going to make KYCi work |
00:05 - 00:07 | and give feedback where necessary |
00:07 - 00:10 | The team is like 'what the fuck?' |
00:11 - 00:16 | Does he not realise we've been working on this for over a year? |
00:17 - 00:21 | Then he says I want your front end views calling your API views so they are |
00:21 - 00:24 | loosely coupled |
00:29 - 00:31 | loosely coupled |
00:31 - 00:34 | We need to tie your front end views to your api views |
00:38 - 00:40 | loosely coupled |
00:41 - 00:47 | He says I used to be a Java developer for years and I have read a Django book as well |
00:47 - 00:50 | He says listen to me |
00:50 - 00:56 | I've also found this thing called unit tests that may be useful to use |
00:58 - 00:59 | we've already got hundreds! |
00:59 - 01:01 | and we do Postman testing as well |
01:04 - 01:06 | so he says we need more managers |
01:06 - 01:08 | and more documentation |
01:13 - 01:14 | he did |
01:14 - 01:16 | we are in meetings from 9 to 5 |
01:16 - 01:20 | no time to code |
01:21 - 01:27 | how can anyone code when all they do is documentation and meetings |
01:35 - 01:36 | so he says don't panic |
01:36 - 01:39 | I have read the Django book and i will code it |
01:41 - 01:44 | he says i'm saving the project |
01:44 - 01:47 | and he arranges 1-2-1s with everyone in the dev team |
01:47 - 01:49 | and thanks them all |
01:50 - 01:53 | asks them if they are enjoying the project |
01:54 - 01:56 | enjoying it |
01:56 - 01:58 | no one gives a shit |
01:58 - 02:02 | just pay more money, or fuck off |
02:05 - 02:07 | it's true |
02:10 - 02:11 | are you enjoying |
02:11 - 02:13 | are you fucking enjoying |
02:15 - 02:17 | They are all stressed out with meetings |
02:17 - 02:20 | so he holds a few meetings about the number of meetings we are having |
02:21 - 02:28 | so what we do is tell them everything is going to take ages to code - like 10 times longer than they should |
02:29 - 02:30 | and they believed? |
02:30 - 02:32 | of course they believed! |
02:36 - 02:39 | we have 10 days to map 5 keys |
02:40 - 02:42 | 1 key every 2 days |
02:50 - 02:55 | he says you guys are really hard workers and i appreciate you so much |
02:56 - 02:58 | did he end up coding? |
02:58 - 03:04 | well of course he didn't, he didn't have an IDE, or any idea how to code or even get the project on his computer |
03:04 - 03:09 | it would be a disaster for us cause he'll break it and need constant help doing it |
03:09 - 03:11 | this is what we have to work with |
03:16 - 03:20 | would you like him to manage your project? |
03:23 - 03:26 | you can have him for free |
03:31 - 03:36 | he'll get all your ducks in a row and provide feedback where necessary! |
