Being able to undo almost everything you fuck up IF you don't do bat-shit crazy stuff. Even better if it's in a container you can simply redeploy!
Main hold-back on fixing/doing stuff in the house is me getting anxious I fuck my wall up or hit some pipe or smth... -
Best of luck, hopefully it's benign!!
-
Always sad to see useless logging: half our issues can be either prevented or fixed by having clear logs...
-
@devRancid long story short: they store all auditing logs on their side for free (as in free for them), but we have to pay to store those same logs for production troubleshooting and account monitoring.
Its like the most profitable scheme in IT I've seen as of yet. -
@jestdotty I hope it's your experience that changed at the very least ;p
But yeah, you can be "functional" for menial stuff like coding but that does not mean you are actually optimally functional where it counts, especially regarding motoric handling, reasoning (@kiki's points), and reaction time for example. -
@Lensflare sounds good! Hopefully it works out as you intended!
-
So it's kinda like RobotWar and all its clones? But sounds good, curious how you envision it being unique :)
I also remember having played some game for my study where you program "bots" which can also infect others and inject their code into other bits which was awesome -
But sad, I drank more than 3 :(
-
@jestdotty getting used to a state does not mean you are not "in" that state FYI, it's just an excuse to keep taking in more...
There are so many people who drive under influence (over the legal limit) with their excuse being "I feel fine, I only had x glasses" while all they do is basically admit they have a problem and unnecessarily bring other people in danger -
@jestdotty oooh I like the idea of splitting the front end, especially since managers and POs simply have different workflows/use cases than the people who are actually working on/refining the tickets.
-
- It's intended to be easy to use for EVERYONE and be used for ANY methodology, making its workflow cumbersome
- It's developed by Atlassian, who don't give a fuck about important/useful feature requests or making your life easier. Force you to use paid plugins
- Any somewhat advanced Jira JQL/automation is only possible through paid plugins
- The jira admins I've experienced are either completely unaware of the wishes of the actual daily users or simply do not understand how you can get the most out of it
- It gives developers yet another application we need to use while all major CI/CD providers provide the same required functionalities in a simpler workflow with way better integration
Look, I like the idea of Jira, but admins rarely allow you to use any automation and/or plugins to actually get something valuable out of it and instead try to make the ticket flow inefficient. And I want to pair my goddamn tickets to git branches which nobody ever implements in the team workflows :( -
@Demolishun yeah thanks, I hate it...
-
@kiki glad to hear, keep it up! You deserved the praise
-
You did awesome last year, now you can continue your streak of "best year ever" (no pressure ;) )!!
Trinity will definitely help you with that -
@joewilliams007 that entire "new" teams experience is horrible imo. Want colours? Use these weird words which kind of relate to the basic colorset instead of just using their names. And for extra good user experience they removed the colour preview as well.
Want to add a subtitle to your basic chat message once in your lifetime? They got you covered with a by-default subtitle feature which you have to click out of explicitly. -
That's not fun :(
-
In before the coworker then quickly invites you for a last-minute meeting because you already had that time reserved, so it's perfect timing right?
-
Companies are a whole different story I think, because they need to appoint valuable resources to even try and get you up and running. So those might need some extra convincing...
-
It's really simple to start searching for one actually: I searched on the university's and any attached institution's websites for interesting departments which already had upper-year internship vacancies and simply sent an email to the lead professors asking if they happened to need someone with interests x and skills y.
I sent 3 emails, spent some time with 2 departments, and ended up in France for five weeks assisting quite some niche research. Free travel, all-inclusive stay in the professor's farm together with the team, and nice sightseeing.
Don't expect anything in return except for a good resume entry/experience doing something you are actually interested in: if there's one thing that professors like, it's free/cheap enthousiastic labor! -
Not really a code freeze period, but at my current project they use locked dependency files which can very easily refer to 2-year old custom packages if the importing package is not updated regularly.
Ir drives me mad when a 2-line code change results in 3+ packages LCM work with debugging and fixing errors in UT and sometimes E2E...
So for the love of god: if you have any influence in how your pipelines run and how your codebase is managed, try and get some weekly build/deploy (depending on your release intervals) which updates and tests EVERYTHING
I couldn't imagine having to work with code freeze periods o.o -
Wait, where is Red Dwarf?! O.o

For me, it all boils down to having to alt-tab between windows when a split-screen setup is not sufficient. No way am I going to alt-tab between windows every few minutes.
For me it saves time, prevents context/focus switching, and makes me more efficient in everything I do.
Need to write docs? Open two full-screen windows: one for code and one for docs. Code can be split into more boxes when you have different contexts.
Need to debug? You'll definitely need a full screen window for stack tracing and more, depending on what languages/tech you work in.
Have a meeting or need to present/demo something? Use your second screen to keep an eye on the chat and the cameras while shared content is on your main.
Experimenting with new packages/functions or simply having issues with third-party packages?
Open their official docs/etc in a Web browser on one monitor and have your IDE open in a second one.
Visualizing/tidying data? Have your scripts on main and visuals/tables on the second. -
That's not a "women" thing but a simple fight or flight reaction mate. You could also try supporting her instead of making a fool out of her in a rant and projecting it on all women while it could happen to anyone. It sounds like she didn't really want to go but caved under social pressure.
But no, it's not really smart to take on a job where you know for 100% that it will happen someday.. -
@dissolvedgirl all the administration aside: if they're not prepared to pay a very small fee for a multi-region hosted static webapp, then they can't complain about the downtime.
If it's critical to have x% uptime, pay for guaranteed x% uptime -
Maybe a far stretch, but perhaps your country actively filters out several servers where you try to connect to? But yeah, sounds like your ISP is blocking it
-
God I'm happy that I work in a place where they actually respect and trust your backlog priorities.. Previous job was exactly the opposite and it makes so much of a difference in enjoying your work!
-
Nice, took less than 2 days for the clown phase to return. But legit how did this happen o.o
-
@fullstackcircus Hahaha yeah double edged sword those successes. Good luck and remember to take breaks ;)
-
Wait, is your clown phase over then? No emoji? No tag?
But congrats! Hopefully it's a job you can enjoy as well -
I did not expect a JS vs Python discussion here lol
