I’m trying to work out what’s unethical about the below. I can’t figure out the angle:

Good practice, too easy to make oversights in the rush to finish and better to look at with fresh eyes and another round of QA.

I wish our developers thought testing their code was a good idea. Even worse our department wants to go to CICD so they will break production even faster.

In banking you get fired if you create downtime. Well ok somebody is getting fired, and often it’s the poor programmer ordered to do stupid things, not the manager who actually caused it.

Banking actually pays for talented programmers though, unlike my company.

I’ve always tested my code but our process for migration to QA is such a PITA that I’m doubly incentivized to get it right and not have to go through it more times than is necessary.

That’s a problem.

My problem is nobody has actively managed the development group in years so testing isn’t even a thing. I have suggested, cussed, raged, etc and nothing happens. Newest boss is a dumbass so not getting better anytime soon. The whole development group needs to be fired as well and start from scratch. It used to upset me but now I mostly don’t give a shit. If it all falls apart, I am not the one in charge.

Yeah, I wish but can’t atm. Am getting paid pretty well so will probably milk that for as long as I can.

I had to search through the comments before I learned they were talking about GitHub activity:

That’s a pretty good chart showing how many times I delete and start over.
