Scrum is just something I have to endure in order to get paid to program. The worst is when you're working on something hard and your status hasn't changed substantially from the previous day. "I did a bunch of things that didn't pan out, so I only really have an expanding list of things that are not the problem. No, assigning someone to help me is unlikely to resolve the issue faster."
At least you're getting assigned a human. My boss' new habit is to print out what chatGTP thinks about the problem I'm working on, if i take too long solving it...
Yeah that sounds awful. Fortunately corporate policies prohibit putting our technical data into AIs.
My boss does this constantly and it has never once helped. Infuriating.
ouch, that is a hell that may one day await us all.
I wonder if the boss will be replaced by the machine entirely by then
Ohhh I got that too recently!
"no, having a meeting about it won't help, it will just waste my time that I could be using to figure out the problem."
I had a manager years ago who viewed his involvement in problem-solving as a variant of the rubber duck solution. I always wanted to tell him to his face that he was accurate, in the sense that he brought about as much to the table as an actual rubber duck.
