Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-08-28

Final complete day: 2026-08-28. Attention was 0.3% — this entity appeared in 8 of 2,594 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (10 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   Fair with the downvote. For context, I run a Delivery Consultancy (agile-sos.com) and an agency focussed project management company (ptpm.studio). At any given point in time we have 10 delivery folks working with us. We specifically have a section in our onboarding about these micro-tells from men, who usually work on their own, and often work in tech. All but one of my current consultants are not men. How we notice, and handle this subject in particular, gives us a great rep in the industry. I will happily bet $100 to $10 for charity, that OP wouldn't have the same issue, to the same extent, if the PM was an experienced gentleman. As OP themselves state further up, when discussing why they wont escalate to OP's boss. \--- >if you join the team that already does have some kind of workflow, adapt. Again, absolutely fair. But OP has stated in other commments, there is no workflow, and there is no team. There is just OP, and a Boss that isn't seeing any progress in the work. Which is why, the new PM, is getting thigns via email. Email, that can be forwarded. >Don't bring your opinions if it's your first day and you gained no respect yet. Yet we don't know it's the new PMs opinion. All we know is what OP see's, in their small corner of the work. And of course, i don't know the opposite either. The new PM could be completely out of their depth. But What I do know is, all of my PMs are told: `get everything in email, keep all the receipts, don't let them say 'it's on [walled-garden]'`. And to be crystal clear, that's email specifically. Not slack, not teams, not jira, not github, not WhatsApp, not discord, notClickUp, not Monday, not Asana etc. Email first and only. And if you've ever been deposed or spoken to legal teams and HR - you know why! \--- So when I see criticisms of PMs in webdev reddit, and some of it is truly valid, I look out for those little phrases and admissions where folks tell on themselves. It's because you've done fucked up, and someone has asked us to track it. YMMV.

   PM and Delivery Consultant here. I rarely accept invites to the project GitHub repo, and I never, ever, ever run the project through the GitHub repo Issue Tracker. It's close to decent for tracking development work, and I can completely understand why developers like it, but it is shockingly poor for any form of actual project management or reporting. As much as email gets a bad wrap, email works with everything and on every device. It's very easy to put workflows into email, get summaries out of email, and forward things on from email. You've also made a huge presumption that, because the project manager doesn't want to use your way of working, she doesn't have a way of working. That is rather than just the fact that she doesn't need to explain her way of working to you. It may also be unintentional, but some of your framing and phrasing here is really poor. WOuld youhave the same issues if the PM was a man? I'm also going to bet that this PM is young, given the way you presume that "he has never used any kind of project management or issue tracker ". I note that you refer to her as she, but those of us you respect here, as "guys" - IMO a red flag. But giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'll asnwer your specific questions. \--- >a new 'project manager' is refusing to accept an invitation to the project GitHub repo I tell my PMs to do this. >I can't assign her issues This is why i tell my PMs to do this. Is it your job to assign her issues? Is that part of the agreed and documented process? Or is this how you avoid communicating with others, in a way that's tracable outside of GH. My gut says, you don't want your comms being forwarded to HR :) >She thinks it's "better just to keep everything on email". Oh yeah, she's been warned to get you to write everything down to be sent to HR. >Any ideas on how I can **politely** put across the value of an issue tracker in a few words? What is the value, to the PM, of changing the process that works for her, to one that works for you? BTW to other dev's... Framing new \[software/framework/tooling/process\] in terms of why you like it, will never help you convince someone. Frame it for the person you're talking to. >Note that I'm not in a position to be able to down tools until she accepts the invitation or hold up the project in any way. Of course you are. Just tell everyone. I want to throw my toys out of the pram, because other people are not following my orders. Remind them, just how cool you are. >I need to get the project done and done quickly to get paid. Don't think like this. I am sure someone as lovely, charming, and easy to work with as yourself is in high demand. Remember, your reddit friends are "guys", and the PM is just a silly woman. >I also cannot go higher up the chain of command, I mean, you can. You just don't have the courage of your convictions. I need to *change her mind* so that she wants to use it, not get her boss to force her to use it. Why do you NEED that? I mean, i get you want it. Why do you need it? You need to breathe, blink, shower, dear god please shower, and pay taxes. In Project Management terms, is it a MUST that she changes her mind? No. It's a MUST that you shower, even though I've no doubt you think it's a SHOULD; while really for this project manager it's a COULD that she changes her mind, in the same way respecting women and shower is likely a WONT for you. Which is why, she is told to get everything form you in email...

   Hey - thanks another user also suggested the same - CMS - sanity/contentful. :) It's a simple career page - candidates apply on the website, their details directly goto the HR, and in return the candidates get an automated email that their application has been received. This post was on how do I build a system for the HR to add/modify various job roles. I guess Snaity/Contentful it is. Will go read the doc now.

   It is on Json file but the HR and the owner (my friend) don't wanna "code" - which i checked is not really coding but sure I understand their point. Sanity and Contentful - don't need login and admin panels? I was fearing that it would be a huge headache making a panel if i opted for Sanity. But thanks a lot will definitely explore this option. :) it's a simple career page - candidates apply and their details directly goto the HR, the candidates get an automated email that their application has been received. Once the company grows - they can decide on tracking, ATS and other big things.

   For 5-7 roles on Next.js/Vercel, I'd skip the API entirely and use MDX or JSON files in the repo, one file per role, rendered statically. Zero cost, zero auth surface, zero maintenance. The part people skip is who edits it. If HR won't touch a repo, point them at Vercel's built-in CMS options or something like Sanity/Contentful on the free tier, which gives them a form and triggers a rebuild on save. Still no admin panel to secure. One thing worth deciding early: where do applications go? If it's just an email link, you're done. If they want to track candidates, a static career page will fall over fast and you're better off with a cheap ATS even at 20 people.
