@jestdotty Spidermaaaaaaaaaan. Ne ne neowww neoww neowww

@BordedDev My experience critiquing my boss has been that I have just annoyed them and they start to dislike me for not agreeing with their bullshit.

Some devs are toxic as fuck and will behave toxic no matter what. They have a 'gtfo' attitude the whole time, like children.

It becomes really difficult to culturally fit any possible team, when you switch teams all the time. Yes, there are assholes in teams, but sometimes the company just focuses on money and tells us that we should just suck it up.

@jestdotty AAAAAAAAAAA.

The person who built anything should get recognition!

Yuu hev powaa? Hoheheheehe. Haheehoohoo. Hee.

Yes, people talk. Some people (especially devs) are asocial so they do their own shit while waiting and don't open their mouth. You have to have some kind of extrovert bit of yourself to be the small-talker (like me). Most dev profiles I see at work are super introverted.

That saying everything is fine when it isn't pisses me the fuck off. No, things aren't fine. And if they aren't, then communicate that.

Yes, at my company the manager explains the problem. Well, kind of. They just give a high-level overview. We go through the agile phase.

They also ask us our opinions because we have to be inclusive. At least you're honest.

Grunge. Dystopian. Steam-punk. Ffs I have to play Cyberpunk 77 someday.

@Ranchonyx You are the brighest star of all. ♫

Ryouniiii?!

I will try to add my two cents to this. When React16 was out during college, I watched Facebook's own technical presentation on it. They said that they created React because the MVC pattern was no longer good or practical for social media architectures like Facebook.

Further reasons for React:

- maintainability (you don't have to change code in a million pages)

- single responsibility principle: keeps presentation, logic and structure separated (though JSX looks like and supports parts of HTML) but ultimately it gets converted to JavaScript by the engine

- Focus on business (in theory): opinionated library that acts more like a framework in its components and ecosystem. Should you do everything in classic JavaScript or with simpler libraries, you will have a nightmare of maintainability. React manipulates the DOM for you (no maintenance).

- Fewer headaches debugging (in theory) because everything was tested before

- Declarative programming, easier (in theory)

@jestdotty Yes, I agree.

In my case it does have to do with the psychological aspect affecting my entire career. Though things do go slower that way.

CRLF

The bullying that colleagues do at companies, directly or indirectly (this is the worst).

@jestdotty Yes, some characters make snide comments all the time.

Hey jestdotty, this one's for you:

lol

@Lensflare Damn straight. End boss v2.

@cafecortado Foul knaves, they are!

@retoor Some companies only look at sheer amount of tickets handled, even if they come back. It's hilarious. lmao

@retoor https://youtube.com/watch/... Neko. Hai. lolol.

@retoor They would not get better because they clash so hard with the team that they have zero motivation left to even improve or care.

Yes, the slower dev produces very high quality and tests extensively.

Managers just want dev to be superfast.

Can React handle 12-bit floating-point numbers? Badum, tsjjjjjj!

Let's see... due to fractional inaccuracies of JavaScript, external libraries would have to be used just for the number issue alone. lol

I would say this is a biproduct of a lax and badly-coordinated team. A properly structured team doesn't create code that has no documentation or that's left fossilized.

What's the solution? Yeah,.. talk with the team and find out how it works. In some hilarious cases the person who wrote the code wrote it in a narcissistic way without properly documenting it and left the company. lmao

Glad to hear you got some understanding of it already.

Work politics, a detriment to productivity.

Bueller... Bueller...

That's correct, Wendy. We all wear masks.. metaphorically speakingggg.

@CoreFusionX In some companies you get multiple raises a year but you have to work way too hard for it and it tremendously increases your workload and stress levels.

Some bosses just call their employees 'resources', which is hilarious. Oh, thanks for reminding me I'm a cog.

When I worked at a small company, I would never get promoted because some other people always overshadowed me and had a smooth talking with the big bosses.

And disgustingly enough, some companies don't pay for the extra hours you put in because then they get mad about it. Yeah, there's no problem on visibility and transparency, just that it mostly plays out in the favor of the favorite little corporate babies when it comes down to it.

I don't trust companies.

@CoreFusionX True indeed, short-termness. The world has changed.

The market sucks and I knew that it had to do with that.

Looks like it comes down to how much they trust you as well, or you have to have the type of boss that is interested in their own filthy pockets.

@jestdotty Aren't you a cartoon.. living in The Matrix? -looks at your avatar- Just kidding. lol. You're Daffy! Nice. I'm a mix of Daffy and Bugs.

I would say careful with the baker job because after a long enough time you can get a bad disease from it from inhaling the flour powder (that's not a metaphor lol).

There's a video that talks about this whole Software Industry epidemic and it's pretty funny. lol. This video is so realistic. lmao.

Life-long learning, they call it, while having a big smile on their face. I like learning, but I don't like being whipped around. Stay positive, they say. Well they, are not software developers.

The same thing for me, having to know every optimization of collections, basically being an algorithm engineer. lol.

Yes, they overcomplicate and overbloat things these days. Clean code? Almost no project has it. Most have spaghetti bloob. The bugs come because of the rushing to market and not enough time spent on building something sustainable. It's always the quick-wins bullshit.

Ah yeah, the clusterfuck of layers. Good luck trying to debug those. lol. The money. The chasing after money. That sucks. That's why companies try to sell sell sell and the developers just have to make up for their shit. If salespeople had half a fucking clue of what it is like to be a developer, they would have some compassion.

Yes, the tools we use these days. Start app. Blrskfqjmlmjfdmlsqkjmlgjltr. Bugs everywhere. lol.

Yep.. Software Development is problem-solving. It sounds great on paper, but... it's often being a Migraine Professional. lol. I agree with you that it has changed for the worse and it's not just you - it's very noticeable. The workplace has become a joke. The whole industry.

Esoteric shit on time pressure is the worst. Oh and the tech assistance nightmare. Fucking hell. That's not a developer's job. There is indeed too much inquiry for learning new things, too many at the same time, though in my CS degree I got to see all those things thankfully, so that was a good preparation. The thing is, of course, that it doesn't stop there. Having to re-study math is a pain, a pain.

I suffer the same frustration where we have to learn every fad new tech that comes out. It's like, I have a life. Do they support you studying within work hours? Nope, rarely, and if they do, they're itchy about it.

@retoor FruityLoops lol. That tune reminds me of: https://youtube.com/watch/...

@stackodev They always make those stupid statements, these corporate goons. No one is obliged to join events.

Well, you can always say no, right? I have a similar experience. One day with 50 people and I'm drained as f.

@jestdotty Blargh, sounds like typical industry. Unfortunately there are assholes everywhere.

@jestdotty Ahh, lower-level matter. Nice. Ultra-nerd medal. >:D lol Well done. I like it when I see interest and passion in the field.

@jestdotty Like big, pointless meetings? lol

@jestdotty I'm trying to understand your model. Hm, proxy.. so things are siphoning through a proxy system? No waiting queues.. that sounds wonderful, given JavaScript's single-threaded model.

Now, I'm not an expert on JavaScript by far, but it is interesting. The JIT-handling of operations.. hmm.. hm.. sounds a bit different from Redux.. but wonderfully efficient, like generators.
