well, the hiatus on my labors at the fiat mine are thankfully coming to an end so i can clocking some hours and do something useful.

i feel like i'm gonna do a lot more hours in the next month. i've got some kind of a superior in charge of me now, who has been busy examining my work.

i'm pretty sure that aside from being told what to do, which is fine with me, he's going to tell me that i do good work, and i'm quite open to suggestions on how to improve it, which i expect will be forthcoming. i did the work the way i did because it was the best way to the best of my knowledge. as i understand it, he has been doing research so i expect that he will give me a lot of good material to build the tech better.

i know he's using LLM tech to analyse my code also, but i already know how retarded LLMs are at understanding code. the task that i think is ahead of me is abstracting the interface so that the matchmaking engine becomes a generalised tool and the evaluators and data gathering parts become isolated units.

should be fun, anyway. maybe i'm gonna get lucky and they have a lot of work to throw at me because i frankly want to push back to the 7-8h/5d weekly routine to stack for my move next year.

also, i kinda feel like the new people that were brought in who have dark views of my work really don't take into account the actual cost i have billed them to do the work, based on my actual hours, which have typically been at or a bit below 20h/wk. the thing that is a bit irritating though, is that i have kept up with the expectations of delivery time, even though i wasn't working intensively on the task. if i'd been doing 8h days on it during that time, they'd have had my part done but the rest of the project would have still needed another 2-3 months to catch up. so it's kinda crappy to be dark on me when i have never said that i would deliver it faster than they needed it. i wanted the lower tempo for a while. so i take the darkness with a grain of salt because i think they just consider me to be a loose cannon even though i'm perfectly competent. i just am more communicative of my situation and raise more of a fuss when i have a crisis to contend with. unlike them, who pretend everything is ok and everyone is tapping their fingers on the desk wondering when the delivery happens.
