Someone else posted it (unscripted take on the SQ42 promo) on Spectrum (finally). Not moved yet ...



(and getting lots of love)

So river guy just rose to 'Senior Engine Programmer'. That's student to Snr in 3.5yrs 😁

All the memes are true...

(And they really need Snr Engineers it seems ;))

do you work in tech?

sr engineer isnt always really that high on the food chain.

when i was consulting, everyone was a senior engineer. 🤣

Yeah, senior gets thrown around a lot, but senior doesn't necessarily mean most capable, often people are senior because they know how to manage people who often are more skilled than they themselves are in certain areas, but who otherwise have no real skill with things like project management, time management, budget management and etc and it needs someone with those particular skills to manage the team. Of course I suspect this isn't what is happening at CIG given the decade of mismanagement we have seen, it appears that people get promoted regardless of their ability to manage anything at all!

People all have different skills and abilities.

Idiots spamming route print have neither :D

I do work in tech, and junior to senior in 3.5 years is unheard of, unless they are some sort of goddamn protegee.

Being senior isn't just about knowledge, its about experience. Its also about the ability to stand up to management who want to make idiotic decisions, which most young people don't have the stones to do.
 
I think in CIG's case to get to senior there are more yeses required, and the ones who do stand up to management, well their careers don't go anywhere in CIG.

Chris directly said that many years ago during an interview. Or more to the point, they don't continue working for him.

And this is how you surround yourself with yes men who won't tell you when you're being an idiot.
 
Yeah, the really funny thing is, does he actually need anyone to tell him that or can't he just see for himself?........oh right, I forgot that pesky couple Dunning and Kruger!

Also the Peter Principle.

CR as a lone developer actually made some decent simple games, but he was never suited to a management position, doubly so for management of a project without oversight and "investors" who excuse his every failing and instead interpret it as genius.
