  • FYI: it’s typically management who cuts corners, whether in hiring or process. I’ve met a few exceptions but most devs take pride in their work.

    Tips:

    1. if you’re experienced and management insists on cluegy solutions, either refuse or leave a trail of tickets and comments re: technical debt for the next dev.
    2. If you’re not experienced, or if you feel out of your depth and have no senior to turn to, know that you will with time and just try do your best.
    3. In either case, experienced devs will understand the situation and won’t judge you.
    4. Also in either case, fire the client.


  • Edit: preemptive “no you”lol

    To be understood, I’d probably just say projection, but if you need to emphasize a specific aspect of the behavior, we could break it down as:

    1. an existing insecurity or shame that
    2. prompts momentary social anxiety
    3. evidenced by a defensive impulse
    4. to preemptively introject

    Explanation: introjection refers to a mirroring behavior, the kind often seen in children. In this case, the accuser anticipates an accusation from you which threatens or hurts them. To defend themselves, they hurl the accusation right back at you. But of course the first accusation only happened in their head, so all we witness is someone wildly accusing someone else of having their own flaw without any justification.
