Could someone help me with articles on documentation process during onboard- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Do you guys love making a documentation. It can be of many things like tech spec, prd, one pagers and many more. 
Is there any tool which makes this process easy for developers? 
I gets frustrated while making docs. 
AI doesn't help much as it doesn't know many things related to our company projects. And it's illegal to put info on chatgpt as it can leak that info.

Documentation process in software engineering

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Most of the companies have such boring process of updating the same details on a employee portal, offline forms and what not!

I’ve been asked to update my same generic details for 10 different documents 😖

Are there any tools available in the market that aid product managers in writing better documentation and achieving quicker turnaround times in the delivery of a BRD?

Apart from Google Docs  !

How does lti mindtree verify documents pre and post onboarding

Data engineer

These past 6 months my performance at work has been dwindling and one primary reason I attribute is memory loss. I find it difficult to recall key points of mails, design reviews, MoMs etc. and often end up missing out things at assigned tasks. What's scarier is that it not only applies to new concepts, I often find myself forgetting even formerly familiar things. During morning updates and discussions I find myself giving uncertain inputs and asking shaky questions because I find it hard to remember key terms, figures etc. I sometimes even forget to pick up some assigned tasks altogether. Random brain freezes have become everyday affair.
.
Sleep-wise it has been little medium-poor but not so bad that could explain such drastic changes. I'm 30 yr old, male, unmarried and don't have any major health issues (except some stress / anxiety and accompanying Irritable Bowel Syndrome condition).
.
If anyone else experienced this, how have you dealt with it?

Anyone else experiencing memory loss?

Yes everyone experiences this 
 I sometimes forget what I was working on 
 I forget things in short term 
 I don’t know if it’s some kind of coping mechanism 
 The only solution is to write stuff or journal not just personal but work stuff too. 
 I used to have Jira but now I have a piece of notebook with me too giving me the top priority tasks.

Super last minute! I’m joining as a PM  at a global bank tomorrow and this is my first job out of undergrad, I would love any tips! 🥺

Day 1 advice? HELP!

Leave grapevine. Build your own perspective about things for the first 6 months and then join back

Hello Developers!!!  


I am 22M, completed BE in computer Engineering.  Upon completion of graduation (May 2023), I worked as an ML engineer (internship); fast forward to December 2023, I had interview scheduled for ML position (off-campus) at reputed company (non-IT), which I passed and after interview in December, I was told to wait for offer letter. Actually, I was referred by the employee of the company. So, till the end of January, I did not receive any update from company regarding offer letter. I asked a person who referred me, he told me that HR has been changed and due to that reason, your onboarding process might be on hold. However, In February new HR got hired and I literally left the hope to receive callback from the company, but after some time I received call from new HR, and again scheduled interview with same manager with whom I was previously interviewed. Manager was quite satisfied with me and asked me If I was ready to join as soon as possible. I assured him to join ASAP. After this interview also I was eagerly waiting for the offer letter; Again, left the hope of receiving any response. However, now it was a beginning of March, and one day I received call from HR, asking for my documents, to release the offer letter. Now it's almost mid-March and again no callback from HR, and no update regarding my joining. It's a journey of 4 months. I never wrote a follow-up mail to HR or manager regarding, onboarding process. Till now I was just asking my referee regarding any updates. It seems cumbersome to him also to ask manager repeatedly regarding my offer-letter. Should I write follow-up mail to either HR or manager. If yes, what should I mention in it?  


  
- Thank you

Should I follow up regarding onboarding process?

Machine Learning Engineer

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

Tell me you are a mediocre programmer/ work with mediocre programmers /an idiot without telling me you are.

I was laid off on 7th Sep and my garden leave was till 29th Sep. I got average severance package and I was in panic situation for almost 2 weeks. 

I gave interviews for 12 targeted position (luckily got till last rounds for all positions and got total 5 offers.
2 offers felt like being exploited, employers were milking my layoff situation and offered 10%-15%. I took a call to reject them and explore further.
Got 3 offers in first week of Jan, these were worth considering.
Yes I did wait for 4 months to see such favourable offers.
One with 15% hile and relocation, second with 60k Euro and move to Europe and third offer with 100% hike with remote.
It was a no brainer and I closed on the one with Remote and 100% hike.

Dont just rush to close on anything which comes first, assess the future and close on the decent or best one according to ur needs. 

For those who were laid-off recently and looking for opportunities I would say keep faith market is opening and positions are getting listed.
You will get something good soon.

Worth waiting for right offer (100% hike with remote)

Damn you man! Something I am manifesting 🤞 

Congratulations on new role! Do share your learnings through the journey

Brutal take

Anyone recently joined infosys? Need to know about physical onboarding process.

Physical Onboarding Infosys

For Example If you consider Google Workspace is the product and Google Docs as a feature, how do you cover all the features of Google Docs in a single document?

How to write PRDs for features with a wider scope?

So I assume that you all have gone through the same but wanted to check your feelings. Why is it that we have to share all the documentation before even they make an offer? I do understand that they need some documentation for verification purpose but lot of times they are going to ask for current offer letter \ any in-hand offers even before the interview itself. Can we all agree to no share such letters before the getting the offer \ confirmation? That is at least they should communicate to you that you have cleared all the rounds and now the documentation verification is pending and is the final step before offer generation. 

PS: Sharing the in-hand offer reduces your chance of getting a higher package because most of the the companies have a % range when jumping and is one the reason why they ask for the same. Personally I won't even share the current package but some of the companies would not accommodate you if you are not willing to share your current offer. But I have taken a position on not sharing the offer letters after making the mistake myself.

Anyone here recently joined IBM? I have some queries

IBM 2024

Senior Consultant

I’ve about 7yoe. 3y in product. And I already feel that I enjoy the role less now. 

I’m tired of writing tickets whole day, doing things that don’t have great outcomes, coordinating and doing program management work. 

How do folks who’ve spent like 10/15 years in the role manage to balance this? What do you do to recover and recuperate. 

Ps: only answer if you’re experienced. Tia

How do you avoid burnouts?

Program Manager

This question is more focused toward startups.

A single developer single handedly built entire backend over the two years and poorly documented everything during the process. Now he has left the company and there's so much chaos while working with APIs.

My work mainly involves UI integration and hence I struggle a lot to do basic work. Sometimes I end up spending hours debugging and end up realizing this parameter expects a differ type of value than I was sending.

Recently I got frustrated so much and decided to clean up everything and write well structured documentation.

I want to know how other companies manage this. - What tools and services do you use?
- When do you do it? How do you do it? Do you maintain it often?
- Is there any guide/reference/open source project that I can refer to get better understanding of the whole process?

Any additional help appreciated.

Does your company document & maintain API? If yes, How?

PM of 5 years. Same place the whole time. We have a new Engineering Manager. 

They started 2 months ago and at first they seemed like they were very happy to learn our process and products. Then they soon started to manipulate the Engineering team which was very cooperative earlier.

It’s incredibly demotivating. We are a small startup, and the culture isn’t great but seriously no need to be so dismissive of other people’s efforts and feelings. They are just fucking rude. No other word for it really. The problem is that they do NOT get the product side of things so you can’t explain anything to them. They start to physically roll their eyes when you go anymore product than the word “PRD”.

I have never had to deal with someone like this and it’s really stressing me out as they are involved in effectively every project I work on. Advice that isn’t “quit” will be appreciated.

I should also clarify that when I say “product limitations” I really mean how much effort goes into getting things right, the delays are shearing the roadmap apart.

why do Software Engineers act so rude? How to solve this in my team?
