@Hypolite Petovan So it's like "Can you figure out this bug, but don't spend more than 1 day on it" or "Don't spend more than 4 hours on it"

It's a convenient excuse to leave bugs festering while pretending you're trying to fix them

@silverwizard Definitely not. I'm in tech, but I'm part of a legacy entertainment behemoth, so the vibe has always been "older" than what you can expect in pure tech startups and companies.

@Hypolite Petovan I've been starting to look at jobs in retail tech and banks in order to get out of this hell

@silverwizard It's funny how there has always been a stigma to be working in the tech department of an established business, as if it was impure.
