When corporate PR tweets awards like sprint velocity metrics to stakeholders

Description

Screenshot of an official blue-check Twitter post from @ptbrasil with a red PT star logo. The Portuguese text reads: “Mais uma vez, parlamentares do PT brilham no Prêmio Congresso em Foco ✨ 😅 A cerimônia da 17ª edição do Prêmio Congresso em Foco, realizada na noite dessa quinta (29), em Brasília, e da participação popular na política brasileira. 🚩”. Below the tweet is a night-time photo showing roughly forty formally-dressed people standing in rows outside a modern glass building, illuminated by purple lights. A red pt.org.br label sits top-right of the photo. Overlaid white headline says: “Parlamentares do PT estão entre os melhores do Prêmio Congresso em Foco”, followed by a smaller paragraph noting thirteen PT representatives in the Chamber and all PT senators winning. Visually and contextually, it resembles a large-enterprise ‘we-won-another-award’ internal announcement - heavy on self-congratulation, light on actionable value - mirroring the way many tech orgs broadcast KPIs rather than deliver features

    When you realize this political content has about as much to do with software engineering as a JIRA ticket has to do with actual development work - technically present but completely missing the point

    This is like when someone accidentally commits their vacation photos to the production repository - completely off-topic but now it's in the pipeline. Zero technical debt here, just actual political capital. The only 'PT' senior engineers care about is 'performance testing,' not 'Partido dos Trabalhadores.' Even our most sophisticated ML models would classify this as 'wrong_channel_error: expected tech_memes, got political_pr.'

    Our engineering version of “Prêmio Congresso em Foco” is “Prod em Foco”: the only category that matters is Best Microservice That Didn’t Page On‑Call During a Friday deploy

    Treze nodes in the bancada finally hitting consensus - no partitions, pure focus under that banner

    Every enterprise has its 'Congresso em Foco': a yearly vanity OKR where shipping the tweet outranks shipping SLOs, and the only green metric is PR coverage availability

  7. @boyarishnik_sama 1y

    first time?

  8. @danila_ermakov 1y

    Mate you gotta decide

    1. @boyarishnik_sama 1y

      real af

  9. @boyarishnik_sama 1y

    but tbh, the whole situation is pure comedy

  10. @boyarishnik_sama 1y

    sad for Brazilian bros tho, twitter just ain't the same without 'em

    Leftists being leftists

    1. @TheFloofyFloof 1y

      Pretty sure it's not leftists, at least in the US, who want to heavily censor content

      1. @qtsmolcat 1y

        It's the rights standard point and blame. They get angry when they want to threaten violence or whatever and privately owned platforms aren't okay with that but they're completely okay removing content THEY don't like. Elon is a good example of that - he bans people he disagrees with but in THIS case X couldn't possibly censor an account!!!

        1. @boyarishnik_sama 1y

          and he instead doxxed all seven of them :)

      2. @paul_thunder 1y

        Aren't democrats considered "left"?

        1. @qtsmolcat 1y

          Yes, and that's exactly what we were talking about

          1. @qtsmolcat 1y

            (I'd argue they're more centrist these days but that's pedantic)

    lol dev meme has developed another political post

    1. @AmindaEU 1y

      developers don't live in a vacuum and everything is political nowadays recent example: everyone used to have VAT as an integer, but the goverment of Finland made the general one 25.5 %

      1. @Johnny_bit 1y

        I don't know what's more retarded - VAT being over 1/4th of the item price, non-int tax rate or finnish politicans comming up with such brilliant idea.

      2. @plusdanshi69 1y

        i signed for dev memes, not a twitter refugee camp lol, fts i'm out 😂

        1. @AmindaEU 1y

          That is a new one. They used to accuse me of being from Tumblr, while I don't consider myself as being part of either.

  13. @L2CacheGay 1y

    the ban came from a different branch of government entirely, wtf are you even on lol

    1. @L2CacheGay 1y

      so when the supreme court bans a site for not complying with a judicial order, that apparently means that whatever joe shmoe who runs the twitter account of the party holding the presidency (and neither majority in congress) must immediately unlearn how to use a vpn?

      1. @L2CacheGay 1y

        like, these arent even remotely the same people
