Yeah, I have... in legacy codebases written by stubborn people.

@D-4got10-01 Sounds like one of those zombie movies.

Johnny 5!

@cafecortado Perhaps an alias or other DNS record.

@cafecortado Oops. Slim.

I was like... "What does dr mean"..."doctor?"... "some kind of server build"... Of course! It means DevRant! lol

Ah.. the Open-Closed principle they should abide by: open for extension but closed for modification. I made the same mistake in the past professionally. If you keep code too coupled and daisy-chained, everything becomes a tedious maintenance nightmare.

Yes, that last line you mentioned - very much a reality. You get these brogrammers who quickly try to mash things together, or good but lazy programmers. lol

Well, it works now through the other domain mentioned in the feed. lol

tf I wrote a lot. lmao

From my previous workplace I can say that one application of them is to be prediction models that deliver insights which can help us to identify optimalizations.

@D-4got10-01 It's amazing how these guys often assume the worst of their colleagues. Yeah, that reminds me, my colleague also bitched every single unimportant detail to me, to the smallest detail, in front of the manager, just so I could look really, really bad and the manager would get mad at ME, instead of seeing through his game. Good thing they saw through it. Sadly in my case, the other team and the manager were all big big buddies.

@jestdotty Management sadly does, except the very few good ones.

Making memes about a co-worker... that would not be allowed, or should not be allowed at an office with a no-bullying policy. It is rewarded based on backdoors and camaraderie, so yeah.

@jestdotty Yeah, the lame "There's no 'I' in team". Whatever is wrong with showing that the group sucks - objectively? lol. I know, especially the self-butt-kissing manager's beliefs. People have to be more open. Yes, managers like comfy zone; like the expert manager said: "They like to receive the big money but they don't like to do the hard work for it". Their duct-tape strategies make me scream.

lol

I hate "this is how we always done it". lol

It is indeed how the tool is used.

@jestdotty Speaking of management, I did watch an excellent YouTube video on Management from an excellent manager. That guy really knows what he's talking about. For instance, he mentioned how the manifestation of a problem in the real world is a three-factor issue: personal, social, environmental. What baffles me is that most managers don't even bother to look this deep at issues and they just order, order, and order the person around. Heyyy, what if the person doesn't feel good? Not a problem, apparently.

Ah.. whatever happened to true collaboration? That's one of the formulas to success.

Yeah, I've quickly become a problem at the company when I constantly wanted to prove my right (when they were wrong about a ton of things).

@jestdotty The obedience pattern gets really annoying when you see some teams literally following their leader around like a bunch of mindless sheep, with their shoulders and heads hanging. It's a pretty sad sight.

Interesting. Yes, the obedience causes a whole lot of potential ideas to be held back just so the manager can stroke their ego. Having been in various teams I realized this pattern too. One big mouth who tries to shut up all the rest. And you know what's worst? Nothing ever changes and things get done the bad way for decades, which gets accepted as 'normalized' and 'optimal' and becomes an excuse not to invest in anything.

I read a business book or two as well; Michael Porter on management and The Toyota Way being two, and then a bunch of books on Performance Management.

@jestdotty What would you say these scant computer fundamentals are?

Yes, fundamentals help further when things get tough.

Seems familiar of Design Patterns. Yes, the same constructs too. In fact, I get upset with myself if I have to look things up but there are lazy developers who swear by constantly having to look things up and calling themselves 'dynamic'.

Yes, I have no issues on the degree side as I have one from an accredited college.

Being obedient is not my thing. lmao. I rather take strategic lead rather than yes-nod my way through a project. In fact, it irritates me.

One mistake I did make once was fully cheat on a personality test (by answering all expected answers) but that came back to bite me because they expected a Harry Osborn and they got a Spider-Man. lol

@Lensflare lmfao.

@antigermanist I see the triple-amounts formula. lol

@cafecortado The stores are so damn full it's a challenge to even leave a store. lmfao

This sounds like Wall-E rummaging through the wasteland, putting things together out of scrap. lol. lmao.

I have experienced it too.

I think you have the right attitude in programming!

Good programmers become wise over time through codebases. :)

This just goes to show that they hire based on 'vibes'. lol... from The Upside Down!

GOBBLE GOBBLE

Happy Thanksgiving.

Rogan?

In some countries you make 10k a year (yes, even in Europe). 40k is indeed in the junior range (of high-end that is).

I think it's because of moneyyy.

LoL, everyone is already posting gifs on Linkedin about how messed up the AI landscape is.

Best wishes and hope you are ok. - LOL, doing this on purpose.

Back, back, giirrrll, wikki wikki wikki back (Eminem).

Good to have an awesome DevRant girl back.

Beware the ancients. Concealed traps and pitfalls await the unwary.

Look Bill, get with the program, Bill. Just kidding. lol.

Looking over stuff in the weekend? Suspicious, unless I got it wrong. It is a popular experience that recruiters are often there to data-farm you and make it sound as much as possible that they're really interested in getting you a job, but in the end they're just interested in making sales figures (sell person to company). You probably already knew that too.

Practically, what I would do is I would try to contact the company you are applying for, if possible (possibly googling the ad keywords but not likely).

Should the messaging be slow, I would say: wait a day, and if no messages, then call the recruiter.

@retoor Perhaps my message came over the wrong way. I intended it to be positive.

@drewbie You're welcome.
