  • As some others mentioned it depends on context. My project managers do a lot of shit I don’t want to do : handling budgets, discussing project scope with clients, handling authorization request to external APIs (I’m in a big company) and also most PO stuff (writing tickets and handling sprint ceremonies).

    Sometime they are a bit annoying because they freak out about deadlines and ask question every 10min while you try to focus and actually solve the bug, but at least they are self aware that it is because they feel helpless in this kind of situation 😛

    Also, more about the proxy thing, sometime I have to explain technical things that simplifies and then they will probably explain it again to clients with a second layer of simplification. But I usually never hear about this again, which probably means that they manage to reassure client and maybe add a bit of bullshit on parts that don’t really mater, which spares me a lot of time overall.

    I see a lot of people saying that your managers are bad managers, but I think your organization also put them in a badly defined role.











  • Franchement une fois que tu as une seedbox et un Plex de setup c’est beaucoup plus agréable à utiliser :

    • pas besoin de passer plusieurs minutes à chercher sur quelle plateforme est un film pour finalement découvrir qu’il n’est dispo qu’en location
    • pas de films lockés en 480p le soir parce que parfois Netflix ne tiens pas son traffic
    • offline 100% fonctionnel, sur PC comme mobile
    • … j’en manque certainement

    Du coup c’est très étrange, j’ai essayer de passer full streaming avec l’abonnement combiné le plus cher de canal, mais :

    • ça a pas marché, certains films et série ne sont dispo sur aucune plateforme mainstream française (Rick & Morty, le cinéma asiatique un peu niche, au service de la France n’était dispo nulle part il y a quelques semaines, …), donc je télécharge encore, mais beaucoup moins
    • j’ai l’impression de payer plus cher pour moins bien, comme un achat militant, sauf que là 80% de mon argent doit aller dans de “mauvaises” poches
