Just fuck my shit up.
Is this common with developers? Do you just not keep track of your tasks with proper project management software?
If there's no one to keep track of those kids task's then how can you be sure they're working at ALL?
These kids probably browse here and Reddit all day instead of doing actual work. Say goodbye to your fellow Sup Forumsentooman, kids. Tomorrow I'm having the IT guy install a firewall blocking all Internet connection until this project is over, and from now on your report all your tasks to ME. I'm going to make these kid's lives a living hell until they learn to properly take care of themselves.
I use Trello to organize tasks along with my boss. Does that count?

If you block all internet access they won't be able to copy paste aka get nothing done

I'm just surprised there's no kind of source control going on, you can bake in all kinds of nifty project management features into that.
> We're an agile development team
Sounds like bullshit. Something they just parrot to older people in order to make them leave them alone so they can continue browsing reddit or facebook.
> Tomorrow I'm having the IT guy install a firewall blocking all Internet connection until this project is over, and from now on your report all your tasks to ME.
Prepare for true teenage drama to come flying your way if you choose to block facebook. Also prepare for the most hilariously structured excuses and stories as to why they NEED facebook for "work performance and research reasons".

discussing your job isn't technology, why is it so difficult for so many idiots to realize this

Eventually they'll graduate from post-its to a monstrous piece of shit like Jira.
William Richardson
This isn't a place for creative writing my man. Stories of fiction have no place on Sup Forums.

nice blog, where do I subscribe for some FRESH update?

so why didn't they assign you an older member team to manage? maybe you're the one who sucks, so they give you some newbie kids to babysit.

either those kids are shitters that deserve a wake-up call or either you're trolling
You have a shitty, uninspiring job. Go fuck yourself.
Jace Young
You are a bad manager.
William Jones
Just implement a daily stand up and start tracking tasks in jira, trello, or pivotal tracker.
It will be painful at first, but after a few sprints they'll learn.

I work at a huge international company. My team is just 4 people with the oldest guy being 27.

I'm impressed OP, you combined something so obvious with such a genuinely fair attack on Sup Forums job culture and triggered a huge amount of autists

JIRA is such a nut job. Private server with trello equivalent when?

If it's MS SharePoint + MS Project, it's bearable.
But more often than not it's some dildo sending xls sheets by email where you fill out progress and bug reports, just call it quits.

you act like you've never had to look up how to do something.

what's wrong with it though? Miles ahead of java, .net core allows for linux development, VS is god-tier IDE. Syntax is nice.
