inevitable ignorance
I’m in the project for at least two months and still feel like not knowing anything about it. And each day with each new understood line of code my ignorance becomes even bigger.
Almost everyday someone comes to me to get some new feature working or bug fixed and they assume that I already know fucking everything about this rotten code spaghetti with meatballs formed of shit. How am I supposed to know anything if there is no documentation and writing docs seems to be tabu here?
So most of the day I’m asking questions about how “this” and “that” works and after getting answers I want to scream:
And this is not because this is not supposed to work this way. It is because everything is so complicated and complex that I do not imagine how it could fit anyone’s head. Apparently my team consists of people with such big heads they can fit anything.
Sadly I’m not one of them.
