On a more constructive note: yes, I think a lot of us - especially in corporate - are tired of the A.I. craze. Leadership team constantly nags us about it and overuses the term. I would even count how many times the term is used in a day in a corporate setting, even more so at big meetings. lmao

aiPopped = ai.pop();

@Lensflare Yeah, as it should be.

@jestdotty Well, best answer.

@jestdotty The times it is spaghetti and sucky code it's written by either non-caring seniors or very junior devs.

From my experience, a requirement for code going to production was for it to be clean because of reasons such as time and money.

I do thank myself for making code flexible because in the particular framework I wrote it allowed easy portability to switch up frameworks when desired instead of the nightmare of rewriting everything.

What is clean code? Well, code that doesn't smell (haha). Code that adheres to SOLID and such, the use of interfaces, of common patterns.

@Lensflare Yeah and now it's.. it's all... :depression mode: it's all turned into run of the mill. Ahhhh. lol. Though, yes, those were exciting times. All those breaking changes that would promise to resolve all the old ways of working..

@jestdotty I mean, we do, if we choose so, but I think I understand what you mean there.

I would say it would help with little edge cases where some of those might prove useful (git -blame and git -log perhaps, insofar they are not considered basic).

@devJs Nice responses. lol

@Lensflare Nah, it was decided by a (dismissive) human this time. I explained my gaps and how I was searching for jobs at that time and they just smirked at me as if I was bullshitting them and then cut me off as not fit.

They didn't even let me talk. They were just waiting to do their little HR charade because I already knew they had picked another candidate and they just do this to stay legal.

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

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

tf I wrote a lot. lmao

(P.S.: Yes I tried to clear cookies)

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