00:00 - 00:05 | So we were waiting on Luke to sign the contract |
00:05 - 00:07 | Yes, we want all of you. Another six months |
00:07 - 00:10 | But then a last minute pivot |
00:11 - 00:16 | Split the team? Ops Transform Squad? Three months extension? |
00:17 - 00:21 | Actually we've decided we have enough capability to run it internally |
00:21 - 00:24 | With who? |
00:29 - 00:31 | With who? |
00:31 - 00:34 | Your most senior team member is Darryl |
00:38 - 00:40 | With who? |
00:41 - 00:47 | He said no it's fine, we're hiring a new developer |
00:47 - 00:50 | He's going through onboarding now |
00:50 - 00:56 | well... as soon as he signs the contract |
00:58 - 00:59 | He hasn't even signed on yet |
00:59 - 01:01 | but he said he's "confident" that he will |
01:04 - 01:06 | Imagine running your team that way |
01:06 - 01:08 | What a dunce |
01:13 - 01:14 | |
01:14 - 01:16 | Darryl messaged me |
01:16 - 01:20 | said he was looking forward to the challenge |
01:21 - 01:27 | Where was this energy for the last 18 months? |
01:35 - 01:36 | 4 months of handover |
01:36 - 01:39 | but they guy we're handing over to doesn't exist |
01:41 - 01:44 | But in all seriousness |
01:44 - 01:47 | This is a very important transitional to make |
01:47 - 01:49 | Shub and Darryl have an opportunity to shine |
01:50 - 01:53 | Who knows maybe they can - |
01:54 - 01:56 | maybe they can - |
01:56 - 01:58 | maybe they can hold it together |
01:58 - 02:02 | long enough for a senior to arrive |
02:05 - 02:07 | With who? |
02:10 - 02:11 | Darryl said |
02:11 - 02:13 | he said well |
02:15 - 02:17 | well we got to |
02:17 - 02:20 | rip the bandaid off at some point |
02:21 - 02:28 | and we don't expect things to be smooth and will be given leniency and support |
02:29 - 02:30 | At Woodside? |
02:30 - 02:32 | thats what he told me |
02:36 - 02:39 | Luke took a high performing team |
02:40 - 02:42 | and lost it in two business days |
02:50 - 02:55 | arbitrary and reactionary as ever |
02:56 - 02:58 | are you sad to leave |
02:58 - 03:04 | look it was a great project and we made a lot of great and useful things |
03:04 - 03:09 | we actually had, for example, customers |
03:09 - 03:11 | and don't even start me on github |
03:16 - 03:20 | but am I sad? |
03:23 - 03:26 | it's not my foot that got shot off |
03:31 - 03:36 | the only thing that will change for me is I'll have to find something new to complain about |
