@AlmondSauce I'm not sure about that... I haven't done any super in-depth estimates on velocity, but I honestly think we would be ~10 times more productive than we are now if the code didn't suck, which the business would certainly care about.

But yeah.. I guess it wouldn't be much of a job if it was easy..

@magicMirror people were running a bunch of shell scripts to deploy to prod from both mac and Linux, which of course doesn't behave exactly the same... I just found out that we have a "deployment server" which kind of helps some of those issues, but it's set up so terribly. It's LDAP auth via SSH and would map your LDAP groups to your user account, and gives you access to the cloud environment through a service account based on your groups.. But everyone also has sudo so they can just su to a user with higher privileges and do whatever they want in prod

I found the source!

@N00bPancakes it was a reusable time bomb, it exploded multiple times already lol

@N00bPancakes yeah .. the pay is great. But gosh darn.

*IT guy for technical writers...

I got called out at work for using terms master/slave to describe our jenkins CI/CD infrastructure.. no idea those terms had been deprecated. This was about a year ago, for reference.

Yeah, but it would be nice if they built it in a way where it didn't take a half hour of downtime to update. Seems like a solvable problem.

Compare corona to other north american beers

Devs shouldn't be making changes in prod, and all code should be getting built, tested and deployed via a single point. That means if the application can only be changed via source control, the commit history should contain record of who completed the bug fixes.

Sounds like a garbage company anyways tbh, I agree with looking for something else post-covid.

@IntrusionCM yeah my thought exactly. It was asked by a program manager. The question went like this: "oh, you know python? What's the difference between an array and a list in python?"

Its such a trivial sounding question. I wouldn't be as bothered if it didn't sound so bad outside the context of python. I guarantee I left the impression on him that I didn't know a thing about python and lied on my resume. Oh well.

Just the idea of typing mattering to that extent pisses me off. Seems very un-pythonic.

@C0D4 yup, found that out later. I've used arrays (and understand them conceptually) in plenty other languages but never such thing in python.

I felt like an idiot.

@netikras and on a side note, I just visited the stanley hotel a few weeks ago in estes park, saw room 217 and everything.

@netikras it would be more accurate to say "I want to quit". Hard to keep my head straight with a 30-80 minute feedback loop for the last several weeks..

Git LFS handles this kinda stuff... Not gonna lie, I use it for files that have no place in a git repo 😂

@Gogeta70 i did an operating system class in college where we basically got a skeleton and implemented virtual memory, context switching, filesystems etc. Ive never coded till the sun rose so many times 😂 but I learned a ton. one of my favorite classes despite the difficulty and the crazy bugs.

@rynken now i get grub: kernel.bin missing

So im good to go then, right?

@alexbrooklyn how do I do that? I keep getting rm: cannot remove ‘/dev/sda’: Permission Denied

Suprising, instagram supposedly has an incredible release process.

@cprn thats not a dream job... 😂

@Abrynos certain libraries are more than semantics, React does a lot in the background to boost efficiency on updating states in complex frontends

But I agree that several megabytes of npm packages for a "hello world" is a little insane

I prefer downloading a 400mb npm package for capitalizing the first letter of a string

Dont know a whole lot about advanced google searching but type:pdf has been good enough for me to grab plenty of copyrighted documents

I had this awesome feature on my web app that let me run commands on my server remotely.. it was like SSH but all I needed was a browser!

@EmberQuill lmao thats where I ran into it

I feel you man. I have so many projects I want to do... mostly web-based services. not really gamedev related, but definitely understand. Once I'm done coding at my job, I really dont feel like coding for the rest of the evening.

@Mbithy I know of the pain of oracle as well

windows is lifting and shifting their junk to linux? Yay!

All jokes aside, I'm probably just unfamilliar with it. mysql and postgres both seem to be significantly easier to work with.

@arcsaber github commit history

I grabbed one of these a couple months ago. I still haven't used it much
