What is a code freeze?

like

Does the code work currently? Don't update it. Businesses don't want any breaks from updates or otherwise. Because of high volume of traffic (particularly in retail), stability is the highest requirement. Also lots of PTO meaning people aren't able to fix things.

There are exceptions, security vulnerability remediation, etc, but the change requests usually are reviewed rigorously.

LOL so me. Code freeze starts at the end of Nov 🙌

Same here

Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.

🤷🏼‍♂️ In-house v. more trial experience? I’m a junior partner (insurance *coverage*) with one 2nd chair trial. I *might* have a few more trials in the next 3-4 years, but maybe not. Should I stick around 3-4 more years or go in-house at insurer now? My goal is to try to maximize my skill set and, if I go in-house, return to private practice eventually w/ some client contacts from my in-house work. Any advice??? I’m really conflicted on this. 🤔

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
