You will not be rewarded for doing it fast. You will be penalized for doing it wrong.

This doesn't apply to software engineering. No one cares that your code is shitty if you can deliver within the unrealistic deadline set by PMs. Just ship it, claim gains, get promoted, and quickly move on before the shittiness of the code catches up with you.

Yup. The standard is release now, patch later.

Pro-moted? What's that?

It's when you apply for a better position and get hired. Almost always in a different company. Or a company you left earlier.

Unless production is down. Then it is often the reverse.

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

If production is down it's probably because someone didn't heed my words.

disagree. you can very well be rewarded for speed/reaction time in many jobs. dunno where you live but but there are piecework wages in many jobs.

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Don't think that's what they're saying, how many of these jobs will you keep if you're quickly reacting by doing the wrong thing multiple times?

Speed isn't a problem, sacrificing requirements for speed is

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast

Ya but then youre asked to do more and more and more work yet theres no benefit. Sure you get more money but i like to go home when my work is done, not get more pilled on.
