I deployed like five times today (actually, the CI platform did it). With good DevOps practices it's a breeze.
-
Amen.

@Pseudonymous Haha, well, I'm more tolerant of things Linus Torvalds says - judging from the way he talks, he's a major asshole, but with his contributions to the field, I'm okay with it. I don't take his over the top comments seriously. So also I don't care about specific words in his vocabulary.
-
@AlexDeLarge Woah, I couldn't agree more!
And when someone calls the software they write "my codeS" I feel it's exactly this definition of a "coder" speaking. -
Is a hacker a software engineer? Is a developer a programmer? And WTF is a coder?

Motherfuckers. Put in their contact email.

No bonuses here. I've been in a company that had them, and it was mostly a device for management to boast about. In reality, bonuses were irregular and you never knew how much you'd get and when. They were "tied" with the company's performance, which was a way to easily decline giving them. In my experience, bonuses aren't described in employment contracts, so they usually use them when making you an offer to join, when they can't match your desired sallary.

If they are truely blocking you because the team would fail without you, you can show them it's not really their choice that you remain there. You can get an offer from another company and show them they need to make a choice, because you want to grow.
But to do this, you must be ready to leave if they say no.
If you really want to stay with the company, put your leadership skills into improving the team's knowledge so they can fill in for you. When you are a leader, it's not expected that they have to find you a back up, if you can coach someone into your position. You say they just don't get it, but why is that? Do they miss the motivation? Do they lack the means to learn? You should find the root cause, and discuss it with your superiors. Propose a solution. They might want to see more initiative from you. Or maybe they don't, but may still like your solution, go for it, and have the team improve.
But in any case, make sure you discuss your concerns with your manager. It is possible you are mistaken about their reasons not to promote you. It is also possible they don't know you want the extra responsibility. -
My approach: never reply to "Hi", "do you have a minute", etc., wait for the actual question. Then, if it doesn't seem urgent, wait for 10-15 minutes before replying. Reply with a clarifying question. You'd be surprised how many times, by then, the asker has already found a solution by themselves.

CentOS. Very rarely Ubuntu.

@sSam I don't know too much about it, TBH. But I know someone who lost her job after Microsoft bought Nokia and decided to lay off a lot of people.
-
Because MS break shit they buy. Like Nokia.
-
As long as they really stick to that last point.

Fucking recruiters. This guy just copied this story (I've seen it worded the exact same way before), and put it on his feed as if it were his own. No quotation marks, no source given. Or is this an old screenshot ?
-
@KubikDezimeter the fuck. Greedy fuckers going after slow enterprises?
-
@dextel2 Totally understandable. This is probably the situation with every company that's been doing Demandware for 2+ years.
-
Would you say it was better than the first one?
-
Maybe, but you are stuck with their IDE and merging is a not a good experience.
The switch to this JS-compatible language allows companies to recruit JS developers as Demandware ones. Also, in the past being a Demandware dev mostly made you stuck to Demandware dev roles. Now you can more easily move to being a frontend dev, or a NodeJS one, I guess. -
The JS thing they have now is a lot better than the XML-based pipelines they used to have before.
-
Enterprise software is like that; utter shit for a lot of money. The people who buy it are not the ones who will be using it. Also, it's probably too niche, so there's either no other option, or the other option is just equally fucked up.

Tell her she's fat.

Sorry, I don't really know Redux, so I can't help you with the implementation, but are you sure it's a good idea to download all the files locally?
Think in terms of bandwidth (both in regards to your server and your clients' Internet connection), as well as regarding storage (on the client side). Also, how many files do you expect to have? This solution may work for a few files, but if you have hundreds of them?
But of course, you can also make it an option the user can enable. -
A Message Is ALWAYS more Powerful If Capitals Are Placed ALl Over.

Beter pick one with a special character in his name.

You did the right thing, but management didn't by asking you. If your friend was actually the better dev and you chose him, they would've thought you were choosing him because of your relationship. And now they may tell him you made the decision, and hurt your friendship.
-
Did you try freelancing?
-
Why would you lend your laptop? Anyway, either they fix it or give you the money to buy a new one.
-
This is exactly the reason why I normally just fork the project and implement whatever I want.
Last time I tried with a PR a bot told me they were using a sepatate system to submit code changes. You had to get an account there, agree to a bunch of TOS and other rules, and link your account to your GitHub or something. I tried, wasted an hour, nothing worked, and gave up. So yeah, no PRs from me, unless it's for some project I really care about. -
Many people don't consume pizza or caffeine. It's a stereotype, like always wearing hoodies, having no social life, or sitting all day long in Starbucks looking at code. Sure, some people do these things, but by far not everyone.
