Seems like a lot of time you are blaming the victim here. People put that shit on the resume because of NLP resume parsers filtering out good candidates.

This is why you come to the game with a human readable resume

sounds much more like budget politics against the incompetent

That is horse shit and we all know it. What bug takes 2k hours???? thats 250 work days. jesus christ, if I took that long to fix a bug, fire me. And yes, I'm also talking about time to test, write/fix unit tests, write/fix integration tests, releasing into production, and data conversion.

Look at the description of the issue. It's really less of a bug and more of a feature request, in the sense that the legislature changed the rules for how "earned release credits" could be calculated. All of the details are here: https://corrections.az.gov/sites/default/files/documents/PDF... .

Previously, it seems like there was a single standard, applied universally: 1 day of earned release credit for every 6 days served. The new rules have many more inputs, with lots of caveats: only certain offenses are eligible, and the inmate can not have been convicted of some other types of offenses, and the inmate must have completed some specific courses, and the inmate can't have previously been convicted of certain felonies.

The 2k hours may very well be excessive, and I don't care if it takes 20k hours, it means they should mothball their software and do it manually if that's the case, but just calling it a "bug" is misleading IMO.

Totally agree. Looking at this, it is substantially more complicated than it was before.

I'm guessing up til now, the days of time off earned was done in real time. Basically all you need is the day they entered, divide by 6 and truncate and there's your days. If there are infractions that cost days, you could still probably do it in a single SQL query.

This new system will have to know what kind of crime they committed, which might mean integrating with some byzantine government software from the 90s that looks like it's from the 70s. Previously they only really needed the prison system's records, which may or may not include their past crimes.

I'm guessing they're worried the integration won't be as easy as proposed. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a month just to get the dev access to everything. I might even be surprised if it was that short.

It would sure get fixed if it was releasing prisoners early.

You'd have the private prisons and the prison guards union climbing up everyone's posteriors.

You don't know the codebase. Even people who know a codebase have a hard time giving accurate estimates.

according to this, your standard "tip of the iceberg" triangle everyone refers to when using that phrase is all wrong

I find it interesting how it nopes really complex icebergs

Society has been destroyed thousands of times over and has still survived. We think of the past as glorious and fair. Reality is that this is foolish optimism fed by historical revisionism and survivorship bias.

yay, code is just like facebook. This won't end badly

personally, I just outright refuse to be on call. That cheap bastard needs to hire a SRE. I explicitly ask the question in interview, I let the manager know I have zero interest in doing such a thing. and when they force my hand, I go somewhere else.

I would try it but I can't find the time.

on android, you can set your phone to grayscale (night time mode). This helps with the fact that the bright colors subconsciously lure you in

^ This.

Especially Samsung have built-in some excellent tools for helping managing screen time.

Myself I am terrible with Twitter/Reddit and can easily waste hours there, but my S10 locks the apps after 45m usage per day.

iPhones also have a greyscale mode under accessibility:

Settings, then choose Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters. Turn the Color Filters toggle switch on, and Grayscale appears as the top option
