I’m not sure my Gleba factory could be considered good…
Ok, story time.
I’m a Sr swe, and because of some strange decisions by management, half my time or more is meetings where I’ve providing status updates on the project, or getting status updates on the project. I’m obviously expected to contribute to the project, but the only thing I get time to do is review code, test, and occasionally step in to help lesser experienced team members solve problems.
But the real problem? The project involves one of my key areas of interest in computer science, and I didn’t have any involvement in designing the system. So I’m doing all of this work for a poorly designed system that I can point out all the limitations of it, can guide a work around, but because of the tech stack it literally will not be as effective as the customers dream of.
My lunch breaks and after work involve Factorio or Satisfactory where I have the power to do things right and fix when I need to. Without these games I probably would have lost my mind ages ago.
If you like Factorio and Satisfactory, I would highly recommend Dyson Sphere Program as well. The planets are tiny, but the factory is even more efficient once you upgrade to Interstellar Cargo Drones.
I have it, I haven’t had time to start it yet. Once I get into space age or tier 9 I’ll jump over to it
I’m in a similar boat here. Classic Peter Principal in action. It sucks that management comes with higher pay. If I was making what I make now and just be an individual contributor I would totally go for that. I guess that’s why they have to pay you to do it, because it’s no fun.
Yeah…
I’m currently on-site in a warehouse coding the control of some machines. Getting back to the hotel, tired as fuck, but hey, let’s get into factorio!Not on site this time, but same. Done both controls and software side. Used to work for Dematic.
Hey there! :-D
I’m self employed by now, but I’m currently here for Knapp ;-)
