@movq@www.uninformativ.de From my limited experiences in two companies I can anedoctic tell you, that what we developers told our support work mates after analyzing things and what they replied back to the enquirers was not always the same. That also happend when we gave them answers in written form. Always super nice support folks, no a single doubt, but their basic technical knowledge was pretty much non-existent. And plenty of them didn’t even really know the softwares they’re supposed to support. Granted, those were not easy programs, one was indeed super complex. But if they use them on a daily basis for years one would expect that they know them quite well. At least the main features and workflows. We also often had to tell them basic stuff several times, which was quite a bit frustrating for both sides.

But, I was super glad, that we had them in the front row. You wouldn’t believe what crap queries they had to deal with and what utter bullshit they kept off our shoulders. Sometimes people wrote really offensive e-mails for no reason. Holy moly. I wouldn’t want to trade with them, not in a hundred years. Lots of my developer work mates, however, didn’t value our first level support at all. I mean, I totally understand, that after telling the same things over and over and over and over again it pisses you off, but treating them in a way they feel like shit, doesn’t help either. It only makes things worse. I had the impression that there was a slight war between development and support.

One thing that was totally stupid, is that the POs didn’t listen to improvements and suggestions on how to make things easier for the support team and also all our users. I mean, support has to deal with this software all day long and also get the same questions about workflows and stuff that’s too complicated or unintuitive. So a lot of things were really low hanging fruit to improve everybody’s live. But when they suggested anything, the POs always declined it, nah, it’s the support’s job. Period. A few times I teamed up with the support work mates and told the POs the same, the support team was suggesting and then it was accepted without hesitation. So that clearly shows there really was a two-tier society.

In my current project we don’t have a support team, so we need to handle all the support queries ourselves. In that regard I miss the old project. But luckily, it’s basically just other developers who are needing our help, so that’s fairly okay.

@prologic@twtxt.net Hahahaha, great typo, I had to laugh! Shot probably doesn’t feel too much different in your situation right now. :-D Jokes aside, get well mate!

Maybe call in sick and have a good rest. Sleeping most of the day and drinking a whole lot of tea and/or water sometimes makes a big difference for me when I’m knocked out. I’m convinced that reporting sick a day even speeds up the recovery and is a clear win in the end. Considering the reduced productivity when being ill and all the additional errors one is going to make for several days and the time spent afterwards to fix them or rework stuff, one’s better off to don’t to anything for one or two days and then take that time to really rest and give the body the time to get things sorted. At least in my limited and biased experience. Your mileage may vary, of course might be different for other folks.

vipassana is all about the vibes (the fundamental vibrations that make up all experience)

My website is very Piling. look at the todo list: https://niplav.github.io/todo.html! i can’t tell you much about how it will look like in a year, but i can tell you that it won’t shrink. it’s piling. everything is piling up, forgotten drafts, half-finished experiments, buggy code—fixed over time, sure, but much more slowly than the errors come rolling in. it’s an eternal struggle.

there is this property of Doneness that I really like, and that tracks a lot (but not all) of my interests. First, let’s take meditation: every single moment in meditation is really Done after it’s over, it doesn’t linger around, the sensations don’t pile up somewhere. They might influence each other, sure, but at the end of the day it’s just the present experience, slashing into and out of existence in its clear luminosity.
