Just sat to work. Nobody's reviewing my pull requests. (And I mention, at the meetings, the cases that nobody's reviewing. Just letting them know.) Started fixing another Jira case. I have my infrastructure set, so copy-pasting utility code from one project to another is not a problem anymore. Doing everything right and sharing libraries? I don't have a task for that, and the boss will get offended that I'm not doing what I was told. It's not my company, and my current position is at the level "do what you are told". So my code sharing is implemented via copy-pasting.

Aha, and what's interesting, we discussed with Janet the lac of documentation in our projects. She's tired of it too. I suggested that it's all just a kind of job security, and that in the previous companies the Chinese (I didn't say this word) don't share the docs, but keep them all locally, and show them only to some people, out of their kindness. And see, if, to update docs, one has to send pull requests, and then argue with a crowd of nerds... why should I care, right?

And here Janet tells me: but we have our Confluence. Wo, so?! That's beautiful. A Confluence hidden from the noobs, nice, nice! There's no official doc mentioning this Wiki. So Janet shared the link with me; I saved the link, and I'll be posting useful information there. Let them blame me for bad social skills, FIIC (fuck if I care).

At 4pm we had a meeting dedicated to "reading a book" They are reading a book about machine learning. When they got to the idea that a figure in a multi-dimentional space can be approximately delineated by a curve, I turned if off. I didn't sign up to listen to total nonsense from losers.

I was supposed, generally speaking, according to the plan, go through some kind of trainings... frankly, I love them. Once, in the ussr, during a Political Information, I had implemented a Forth interpreter, just with a pen, in a notebook. Our Political Informer thought I was writing down his speech.

But the link they gave me lead from the company's main page directly to GitHub, which wanted me to log in, and then it was showing me my projects. I wrote an email to our HR person who sent me the link yesterday. In response MsOffice told me that this address doesn't exist (and it was there yesterday?) Looked her up in Slack. Nothing. Non-person. Wrote to Jeremey, describing all this. He sent me to the Slack channel called "Apollo". So I'm writing to those Apollos, saying "Apollo, Apollo, this is Houston, we have problems." Etc. No answer. Well, ok, do I care?

Since I already have four pull requests, what can I do? I can do breaks. I love this kind of job. Some people go crazy with nothing to do; I use this time for learning.

At half past nine we have a regular SCRUM meeting, and there, what's there? Everybody's busy with a variety of urgent issues, because this stuff breaks and that stuff breaks. And I, as a noob, just sit here and enjoy it. Told them about my four pull requests, and that I don't have access to the courses of good behavior, and gave them a promise to behave well anyway. Not sure, will they fire me for sarcasm, as they did at Machinify? Do I care?

That was it for today.
