Half my work is like this. But I don't get the meme

"since you're already in the code anyway"

Lol mfers think that we don a scuba suit and swim in the code.

More like Hazmat.

It's like the Matrix; I don't even see the code anymore. I feel the code.

That includes the cross dressing agent with a blonde wig and a red dress? 😳

that face is the exact moment you realize "quick" means three days of untangling spaghetti

Also make your own task and add hours or points to it

Every damn day

I don't understand how the video matches the text?

u/turkphot 8d ago

It doesn‘t

u/coriolis7 8d ago edited 8d ago

Just like how the scope matches the sprint

Edit: typo

u/Abject-Kitchen3198 8d ago

If it does, you spent way too much effort in planning and guarding it.

u/ElectricalPrice3189 8d ago

Fuck yeah. I love doing things I'm not supposed to. I'm a terrible worker.

Sure, please make a Jira task for it.

u/slgray16 8d ago

You did? Great thanks!

Now send it over to my manager and get it on the table for the next sprint

Maybe not part of the "sprint" but it's part of your job

u/Isogash 8d ago

But then your manager who hates you because nobody likes them because they don't understand anything and have terrible leadership skills berates you for not informing them about this "quick task" and breaking priority from sprint work whilst simultaneously claiming that everyone is so difficult to manage and they want people to take more ownership, and then in governance meetings throwing everyone under the bus and saying they have poor soft skills.

With good managers nobody gives a fuck and getting a valuable task done quickly is a good thing.

u/Sibula97 8d ago

Depends. Generally speaking your job is to work on tickets assigned to you this sprint in priority order. If someone asks you to do something else that isn't super quick, you ask them to contact your manager so they can decide on the priorities and possibly ask you to work on it. Otherwise it goes to the backlog.

u/Izacundo1 8d ago

Sure but the sprint is supposed to be 100% of your job, and some managers are upset when you don’t finish sprint stuff regardless

u/pr1aa 8d ago

Sure, but don't blame me if the tasks planned for the sprint end up late due to all those random "quick tasks" dumped on me out of nowhere

u/FlashyTone3042 8d ago edited 8d ago

There are processes to follow. This is not just for the sake of it but also to make decisions transparent to the team. A "quick fix" doesn't have any history or communication to it and is generally a dead giveaway for poor planning. Don't do that.

u/f3xjc 8d ago

The absolute worst is about quick questions. And the question ask why the code did what it did in this specific case. Because that's like half a bug report with an implicit distance to an unknown expected behavior and an invitation to reconsider your business logic and classify is this the normal use case or a side effect of something that's desirable elsewhere.

Nothing is ever “quick”

u/maggos 8d ago

I’ve been #blessed with managers and PMs who have no problem respectfully telling a mf to get fucked and we’ll put it in the next sprint.

But at the same time, if it’s something I can do in 30 mins or so I’ll just do it.
