Yeah, it sucks to know that I'll make $X if I work the normal work week, and I'll make $X if I put in 20 extra hours fixing a zomg critical problem regardless of whose fault it was... But it's not like that wasn't a known risk going into the job, and it's not like they don't pay you up front for it.
IME, most places will give you some time in lieu if you do that much over your contracted hours for a one off event

after a thoughtless Friday release
What do you mean? All releases are on Friday.
Friday release is soooooo tempting. There is always one more bug to fix or thing to polish. Why not push it one more day?
But you always end up regretting it.
Friday releases are absolutely forbidden where I work. Release window closes on Thursday at 16:00.

and you refused to work until Monday (and had your colleagues put out the fire alone), well, that would be kind of sucky on your part.
Well this problem would be solved if everyone refuses to come in on the weekends so that the cunt who deploys it on a Friday without proper QA and checks in place will get his shit together better next time.
The problem is the general assumption that wanting to not work on the weekend, production issue or not, is somehow wrong.
Last time I was called during the weekend because some upgrade had gone wrong, I simply told the guy to rollback because I was not going to cancel my movie evening with friends because he couldn't be bothered to test properly. Monday we were both called into the manager's office. The guy kept going on about the "company spirit" and other vague emotional stuff while I simply pointed out the proper procedures. The manager could but confirm my interpretation.

@bjolling you are never gonna get a job at @cartman82 s place with that attitude. I bet your GitHub activity chart sucks too.

Once is bad luck. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern

A very sane place I worked at completely changed the relaease cycle when all of us (abt 7 people) refused to even remotely login on the weekends. The release happened monday morning around 11 with subsequent firefighting and implementing new features happening through the week. Wednesdays and Thursdays were super hectic with a 10 hour Friday with code review hell. But Saturday and Sundays were absolutely trouble free. But yes, out GitHub activity chart sucked donkey dick.

That's any easy bet because I've posted my chart upthread :)

Everything depends on the circumstances. I just had this once, and things got a lot better before I left.
Then it got worse, extremely worse, but that's unrelated.

Here's my Github activity chart
-
@Jaloopa you're a lost cause. From your GitHub activity chart one could easily tell you should never be allowed near a computer ever again.
-
@bjolling Looking at that chart, you are not getting a job if you leave the one you currently somehow managed to get.
But yeah, I see a chart like that and I assume you must be a healthy normal individual. Good for you.

@Gąska said in Betrayed by github activity graph:
Am I the only one here who had to stay on weekends from time to time to work on coding tasks?
Nope. I worked for 4 years that was so poorly managed, we were in perpectual crunch mode. My job now it's far, far better. The only times I work weekends is if there's some unexpected emergency or there's a push to make a significant release that requires all hands on deck to finish. In the last 5 years I've worked here, the emergencies happen once every few months, and the crunch time happens maybe once a year. We've made major improvements to our overall setup so the emergencies should happen less frequency from now on, too.
Granted, I was paid 200% every time. So I was quite happy to work on weekends.
I'm salaried, so I don't have that perk. :(

(And, also, everywhere I've been on call they actually do pay a small per diem and an hourly "callout" rate if I get called in on-call, on top of my salary, so it's not like I get handed a bag of poop in thanks for my hard work...)
I usually want the lost time given back as free days instead of money.
That teaches the bosses that the overtime is a resource re-allocation, not a replacement for hiring more people.

We have a button we hit the moment we find out the candidate doesn't have an active github profile. The floor opens and they are chuted right out to the street. No sense in wasting time on riffraff.

The more complicated stuff in the Confluence toolbar seems to work well too for tables, headings, and all the other stuff.
Not my experience.
Yeah, my practice when we were using Confluence was just to write the darn thing up in Word and use the importer, it was way easier that way.
Now we're on Teams, but of course nobody has time to go and get all the documentation off Confluence and put it on Teams like we're supposed to have done.

@KattMan As a Java programmer whose eye is now twitching violently, I need to ask, what is JAVA?

You're assuming the bosses have the capacity to learn anything at all.

I slack off for ever, practically.
Each of those dots is a single event, such as making an Issue post on a repo...

@Tsaukpaetra You're gonna have a tough time getting a decent job when you have a problem with working on tuesdays. If I was responsible for hiring, I would definitely not hire you.

@izzion said in Betrayed by github activity graph:
You generally have much more flexible hours than hourly staff does, every place I've been in allows at least some "flexing" of time worked outside of normal hours
This. Because of personal issues I come in to work at 11 and leave at 7. Works well enough, no rush hour is bonus.

Tuesdays are Taco Tuesdays. Taco Tuesdays don't necessarily mean dinner.

@KattMan said in Betrayed by github activity graph:
The problem is not JAVA in my experience, it can handle every task just as efficiently as C# can for someone who knows how to write good code in both languages.
False. Objectively. Maybe when Project Valhalla rolls around it might catch up farther. But right now value types and generic reification make C# a more efficient language. Not to mention .NET Core's increased performance.
-
Slacking off weekends? More like the entire spring.
-
Looks like I have an issue with Tuesdays...
-
@dcon said in Betrayed by github activity graph:

You have the same problem @Tsaukpaetra has. What is with you people refusing to work on Tuesdays? I'm seeing a pattern but can't reason about it.
-
"I'm having a bad case of the Tuesday's."
"Huh?"
"That's when you don't feel like committing your code on GitHub."
-
@stillwater Guess I was actually busy doing my real job...

7 times? I'm feeling tired just thinking about it.

@boomzilla That's 3/7th on a Saturday. You'd be a perfect candidate if you had some Sundays, too.

@pie_flavor y'know you can write
public final
fields and skip accessors for data, just nobody does.
-
@Gąska said in Betrayed by github activity graph:
"less energy consumption" really means "more processing power with the same energy consumption"
Not always. Sometimes it means better use of an energy budget so that, for example, a battery lasts all day instead of a couple of hours. The hard part is that it depends a lot on what you're actually doing (not on potential activity at all) and some activities really suck down the juice. Key offenders in mobile phones are network activity and crap coding (IOW, virtually all adverts; it's a double whammy).

Thankfully, that doesn't include everything I've written.

@Gribnit said in Betrayed by github activity graph:

-
@pie_flavor said in Betrayed by github activity graph:

Here's a hint: for a lot of classes, nobody cares about the cost of changing everything because the classes are necessarily
final
and must be so for them to do their data holding task correctly. Also, with most projects there are a lot of classes that are internal to the project; they describe stuff that simply shouldn't ever be exposed to end users or clients of the library.In short, you're recommending adding a lot of prophylactic noise just in case. Don't. Do. That. In any language.

Couldn't make it fit the relative order of categories without making it too contrived...

That graph is skewed by the fact that I have other channels of communication with pretty much everyone involved in any project I'm working on.
