Bingo of Awful IT Processes
-
My project is doing 12 of those. Guess who has another job interview round next Friday?
You're getting job interviews?

This is less awful IT practice and basically just bad development practice.
Working in IT support, you developers are a different breed of users.

We clash! While we try to squeeze every last bit out of our hardware and tools, you are trying to keep us in check and not installing random shit because it might make us 0.1% faster

Story points are evil because they were intended to help teams set achievable goals but are almost never used as such. Once a manager catches wind of this practice, they will bastardize it into a pile of shit most high. Scrum doesn’t prescribe this practice so ditch it. Reject it and move to something only the team members will understand. If you move to relative animal sizes or some shit and you meet your goals, managers can fuck right off.
Maybe you need to find a job with better management....

Rarely, but it happens.
But I can't shake off the feeling that in most cases recruiters completely misunderstood or misrepresented requirements for the position to get me to the technical interview stage. Like scheduling me for an interview with a team heavy with functional, big data processing while I barely have any purely functional experience.
Non-technical people doing recruitment work is a scam.

I'm currently one week into a two week period where all of the CEOs and project managers of my company are simultaneously on vacation. It's wonderful, just coding without being bothered.

This. Sometimes it's enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.
I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.

My best friend is a developer, and I personally have a lot of respect for the work you all do.
One thing I can definitely say is a positive of working with your kind, is that you people don't have printer issues.
I hate printers.

Worse than 1 hour standup and 4 hour planning:
1 hour daily standups and 30 minute planning meetings.
I've been on a team that consistently congratulated themselves on how fast and smooth planning is, when none of the stories would have acceptance criteria or real descriptions at the end of the meeting, and then we'd have to spend tons of extra time during daily standup actually figuring out wtf the work was
After a point in your career you either learn the skills and get the experience to understand how to plan projects and end up on those groups writing the definitions, or you remain an IC and just code what was given to you.
