Necro post, but I was in the UK at the time of writing

Back near Ikebukuro now and am a frequent visitor of many authentic restaurants :) It’s often funny as the staff don’t even speak Japanese in some of these places xD

Went back for a bit and at first it was great, especially: “I can talk to people in my native language!”

But it didn’t last long before I was missing my 麻婆豆腐 🤣

It better come with a “Trial Expired” pop-up or I am not using it

It will be like where I was working. On that project there were ~12 people. You could’ve cut in in half easily:

• AFAIK the project manager did nothing but create meetings (tbh they had no clue what they were doing)
• The QA was incompetent and instead I wrote all their tests and taught the junior dev so he could too
• 2 User Researchers set up various sessions – but the business told them all their findings were wrong (turns out the researchers were right)
• Architect went to some meetings and never spoke to the devs about anything (turns out they were responsible for multiple projects at once, which obviously makes things hard)
• The Lead Developer seemed to be on holiday every other day, dealing with some personal issue, or in meetings
• One Dev was fresh out of a scheme (for non comp sci students, so was slow but that’s understandable)

I ended up working overtime into burn out to get the project through the door (and hit issues due the architect should’ve informed us of). It would’ve honestly been easier as just me, one other developer, and a BA
