dear god. I'm in an all-hands call. director says we are adopting a "zero-defect approach" by... ceasing to work on bug fixes, delegate bug fixes to LLMs, while developers focus on new features. I think I've already encountered this approach already, with a GDPR-breaching bug introduced by a "refactoring" fix in July by a dev I'd never heard of before#GetFediHired anyone looking for an application support engineer/developer/general computer-wrangler, remote or based in Glasgow?

@jackeric @neil Look for something at https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/. It’s all remote, oh and by comparison sounds like it’s sane.

@simplenomad @jackeric @neil hmmm, two red flags on that page are the AI in hiring banner, and the “no limit on PTO” thing (which is only ever used to make employees take less).

@amyworrall @jackeric @neil Well, I can handle AI (and have for years, well before the latest crazes), and I deem myself very overpaid. Every offer I've been approached with has been substantially lower than I make now. I do enjoy the limitless PTO, very nice!

@simplenomad @jackeric @neil ok interesting, I’ve never encountered limitless PTO that isn’t designed to make you feel bad about using it, or make it harder to use (because you had to get permission, as opposed to just telling your boss “I’m taking my holiday here”).
