Fuck sake, @Shura you sanctimonious, condescending knob! Read this thread and count how many times you’ve used “you people”. Who do you think you are?

You clearly can’t manage for shit. Everything is the fault of us savages. You are one of those managers who loves and will demand the glory but always looks to blame someone else when things don’t go correctly. Either that or you’re really terrible at presenting your personality accurately.

There are so many unanswered questions about your story here, but a lot of them seem to boil down to clueless mismanagement and putting people (staff and customers) in awful, unwelcome situations.

I hope “Irish” is a typo!! 😜

I properly lose my shit when I hear politicians start spouting on about technology. It simply highlights how completely clueless they all are. Part of you wants to believe there are advisors and experts behind the scene who can guide them on the intricacies of technical things, but the complete horse shit that comes out their mouths suggests those people don’t exist or are routinely ignored.

I don’t know. There’s just something about this all doesn’t add up. “Professional” since 14? On what measure? Gov’t/secret service encryption with few qualifications? You’re a bit of a prodigy, aren’t you? The world is clearly very lucky to have you.

I’m confused. Some rants suggest you’re a student, some that you work, and this one that you run a company. However, in all of them, particularly this one, you come across as a bit of a know-it-all, arrogant ass. Hard to tell how much of it all is true.

Well, it’s probably a fairer comparison. Likening C#/VB.NET to PHP isn’t really fair or accurate either. If you’re delivering a non-JS server side web app, you’ll probably use ASP.NET or PHP. What’s your problem with the comparison?

That is a genuinely awful meme...

Don’t know what kind of phone you have or if this is even still possible, but does this help in any way?

There are so many things wrong with that. We can simply conclude the writer was either extremely inexperienced or just clueless. Everything a “String” except “sex”? Srsly?

The point of an API is to facade the data. It could ultimately be a shared database. But if you change the architecture or format of that database, your interaction will need to change to. When you get your data from an API, it really doesn’t matter what’s under the hood. And that’s the point. If you’re consuming the API, you shouldn’t care a damn how it’s ultimately structured.

Formal != verbose and wordy, though. I struggle with this a lot. I find myself really trying to cut back on the number of words I use. People’s attention spans require ever shorter TL;DRs to be the default.

Um... Settings > Edit Username or Email... 🤔

@renanpvaz I don’t think anyone actually believes that just adding an underscore makes something private. Do they?

@gitcommit Ah. OK. Then it’s a good diagram!!

I genuinely cannot see how that diagram would help you understand anything... it’s chaotic.

It’s called a naming convention and it’s a fairly common one if not universal. All naming conventions (if properly governed) are intended to give context when reading code without having to cross check every reference. When you get used to it, it really does help.

T’is the psychological power of confirmation bias. A very real thing that everyone “suffers” from.

@jhole89 You can accuse me of many things. But I will not tolerate being called a vim user. Take that back!

@jhole89 Meh... details. I'm still right! 😁

*whispers quietly* “As it should be”...

As a disclaimer, if this is a guideline and everyone has to stick to it, I think it’s fine and everything will be internally consistent. Otherwise you’ll be back in 6 months and import something but it’ll already be imported you’ll just not have noticed. But if it’s someone applying a specific rule you, they’re an ass.

That demands a down vote. But dagnamit it's so bad it's good.

Think that's cool? This will blow your mind...

I don't think that's anything to do with being a developer. Probably more to do with being a psychopath. 😁

@Anookas They're probably specific to the types of things I've been doing (mainly Node related). And me. I'm more used to Fedora than Ubuntu.

To be honest, it's been a while so my score could be unfair, but I just remember some funnies. Maybe 7 is harsh.

I'd rate it around 7/10 at the minute. But I do genuinely think it'll improve. I can also see a time when it becomes the default CLI on Windows.

Hmm. Need more to go on. Sounds like a violation of many laws. But depends on your country and bosses. And whether there's any basis in truth for what's being said. Did you screw up something and not learn? Or are you being unfairly treated? Etc.

@spongessuck I know - didn't mean to challenge the suggestion - just a point of clarification. I also asked if OP just wanted issues or more - no answer. So they might? 😉

I use both Phabricator and JIRA every day. I'm reasonably up to speed on their capabilities.

@spongessuck It's very heavy if all you want is issue tracking. Phabricator is also a suite of tools.

Just the issue tracking part? What's wrong with GitHub?

Had a discussion about this today when a conversation started with "That logo cost *how* much???" People just don't get the value of time and the process of creating a design or a program.

Ouch. Have at least one up vote to ease that pain.
