Org among programmers
When I studied at the university, at the technical faculty, among us, future engineers, there were such special people - all kinds of -ORGI. Now I definitely don’t remember all the varieties, but there were definitely sports and cults.
Formally, they also studied engineering, sometimes went to lectures and laboratory work, but they had problems with academic performance. They didn’t understand the electronics, they could only write off the databases, I personally did exchange-rate courses on optical measurements for them, assembler - I don’t even know how they passed them.
After the university, our paths diverged, I lost sight of these orgs - I thought they disappeared somewhere in managers or politicians. My opinion was strengthened by the fact that at the university I personally knew one org who now works in the highest echelons of power, and another acquaintance org made a career in some kind of youth movement (Young Guard, it seems). The rest, I thought, went the same way.
And here, on my beloved Habré, I discover this miracle - a person who calls himself a programmer and engineer, says that we all produce some kind of surrogate here . I was so surprised at this unexpected meeting with (probably) the former org that I could not keep silent. It’s impossible, friends!
Org or not org the author of that particular article - I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter (although the rest of his publications only convinced me of the conclusions made). Another thing is important - these guys are now among us, and continue to follow the principle learned at the university: if you can’t work, look for the left topic and do it without leaving the box office!
After all, it was like that at the university. I can’t learn, but my sense of self-importance is going through the roof - it’s not a problem! Let the losers sit and study the theory of measurements, statistical analysis, sopromat and digital electronics, but I will find another topic.
And that is complete, even for a full felt boot. Not, okay, if there is talent - in sports, music, or some kind of invention - I can understand this, although I can hardly accept it. Well, the university needs, for some reason, to have a football team and its own choir - it's up to them.
And if there is no talent, then there will always be that very organizational work - for org. Mind does not need much, workload is not for full time, but the bonuses are simply gorgeous! After all, work is coming from the dean’s office, and if you're lucky, then from the trade union committee of students. And this is help with the session, up to the intervention of the dean, if some stubborn teacher comes across, who believes that the student should learn, and not sing songs in chorus. I’m not talking about all kinds of trips to the sea for 1 thousand rubles, food tickets in the dining room for free, a free travel ticket (well, for business you need to travel, organize), etc.
It seems like nothing, everyone decides how to live. But why you, orgy, then go to programmers and engineers, and prevent them from living and working normally? It’s impossible to work for you yourself, and it’ll never work out because you have run all the lectures, you haven’t done a single course, there’s no foundation of knowledge at all! And you know that.
But you don’t feel like losing your job, you turn on your org brain again and start looking for a topic. Oh, and now there’s no problem with that! Just read a couple of books and say: programmers, you work poorly! Sometimes you don’t need to read, just meet in the company of another org. They probably somehow know how to recognize each other, like fishermen.
And God forbid, such an org crawls up to the director, and, as they say, sits in his ear - everyone, hang yourself, miserable. Better run, your company has been infected with an org virus.
This virus biases the value system - exactly the same as it was at the university. All students thought that a good one who is a good student - but no! One who org - here he is good! And your fives, an increased scholarship for several years in a row, a diploma in the end - it's all boring, ordinary, like everyone else.
I know exactly what I'm talking about, because once decided to try to get a free ticket to the sea - friends advised. They said that with my performance this is not a problem at all. It turned out to be a problem, and what a problem!
I got a ticket with grief in half, and we got a whole reserved seat car. Guess how many more people rode in that car “for good performance”? Zero! No one!
But here is this junk - a whole carriage, which only was not! And dancers, and singers, and athletes, and even one man of about 30, to whom a friend knocked out a ticket - a seasoned org, again.
What do these young, fragile minds endure from the university? “Work is for fools” - that’s what they endure. They know for sure - they have experienced on their own - that it is much more profitable not to plow in the sweat of your face, but simply to get hooked on the right topic, and everything will turn out more than successfully.
Or like the same author of surrogates: programmers, you make garbage that no one needs! It’s your fault, you don’t think about the usefulness of some businesses, you require formal technical requirements, what kind of assholes!
For the training or the director it sounds quite good - they clap their hands. But, friend-org, you are not only fools reading. We did not miss lectures, and we know what the division of labor is.
Any employee, not necessarily a programmer, can be blamed for not achieving business goals. This is just a verbal exercise such, with a psychological bias - the induction of guilt is called. You gather 100 people, you say that they are to blame for something, and a fairly significant percentage will really behave. Org among the managers taught us this - they themselves are never to blame.
The programmer must program. Point. Everything else that they try to hang on him is simply an attempt to manipulate and elevate himself. Just like in a university - a shift in the value system so that the rest sank, and the org rose.
If the programmer is responsible for the goals of the business, then it is necessary to disperse half the remaining employees, starting with managers. If the manager - internal or external, it does not matter - when decomposing the goal loses this very goal, then where does the programmer? It is his job as a manager to lay out goals for tasks. His job! This is just work, this is not magic, there is a lot of material and methods on this subject. The manager did not read? Also org? He grabbed the top, how to sign accounts and “determine fixed points”, and creeps into development management?
Why did the programmer suddenly become to blame for the incompetence of everything and everything? Well, I know why - because org is also a programmer. If you rummage through the forums of power engineers, mining engineers, or designers of navigation devices, then there will also be similar "prophets" who assure others that they are working incorrectly?
This is a common, banal attempt to shift from a sick head to a healthy one. It doesn’t work for managers - let programmers do it. And let the programmers determine the goals of the business. And managers will only read books and throw them to programmers - so, look, you’re missing out on this too, and you’re not working right here, and you don’t stick ostrich feathers in your pants.
I am sure that the org-programmer did not study the division of labor, does not know about the principles of development and roles in the team, and did not make a single standing pr in github (go ahead, google what it is, maybe we have something wrong here doing). But it teaches us how to live.
Once again I clearly pronounce: I personally have nothing against the author of surrogates. I am worried about the trend and the systemic phenomenon.
In the end - a bit of classics on this subject. Programmers and engineers of my age will understand.
What is this your devastation? Old woman with a stick? Did the witch who knocked out all the glass put out all the lamps? Yes, it does not exist at all. What do you mean by this word? [...] This is what: if, instead of operating every night, I start singing in my apartment in a chorus, I will be in ruin. If I enter the restroom, I’ll start, sorry for the expression, urinate past the toilet and Zina and Daria Petrovna will do the same, the restroom will begin to collapse. Consequently, the devastation is not in the closets, but in the heads. So, when these baritones shout “beat the devastation!” - I am laughing. [...] I swear to you, it’s funny to me! This means that each of them must hit his neck! And now, when he hatches out all sorts of hallucinations and engages in cleaning his sheds - his direct business - the devastation will disappear by itself. Two gods cannot be served! It is impossible at the same time to sweep the tram tracks and arrange the fate of some foreign raggers! Nobody succeeds in this, doctor, and even more so - for people who, in general, are 200 years behind the Europeans, still still do not quite confidently fasten their own pants!( source )
