@jestdotty I know a guy that literally got obsessed with a coworker of his, stalking her on social media and got in contact with her, tried to ask her out and got rejected, and since then he was unable to work with her being even in the same building. He would tell me how stressed and sad he felt whenever he seen her around, he would get depressed, still stalking on FB, talking about how she Talks to other coworkers but not him... Just overall gor very bitter about the whole Situation. But he was also convinced he couldnt leave the job cause he though he wouldnt find another well paid job easily ( he was on a decently high engineering position, cause he's actually really good at what he does, though imo underpaid at his then position) took me months to convince him that he created a toxic environment for himself there and he should just find a new and better place. He did and he is better paid now and put that girl finally behind him.. but yeesh.. I warned...

I had that, i stopped Putting ny phone in the pocket for a while and it went away. I also often had keys with my Phone in the same pocket so maybe that was a factor, im not doing that anymore now cause it scratched my screen once. Thus was like a decade ago or so

@Demolishun from my experience It's the guy that ultimately leaves the work after a failed attempt.

@donkulator but It's likely someone already manufactured it and now you can all share the same filthy penetration fix

Do *not* engage romantically with a coworker.

9/10 times this ends badly. Don't shit where you eat no matter how nice she is. Trust me bro, look elsewhere.

We are not in an "AI" era... We're in an ai hype train maybe, but nothing era defining happened yet. AI era will happen when everything is actually done by AI.

Honestly, if someone wants to hire me based on some graph from a proprietary service owned by microsoft that I don't even use anymore, that's on them...

If they asked me I'd tell them that I'm using a self hosted git service for privacy and traffic reasons.

They are totally rad

I thought you're based in India

I mean, unless you have a good reason to not do it like the review says, than It's likely not a bad thing, though if you have a good reason it should be discussed.

The point of reviews is to improve code quality, and one could argue that accommodating a style that most devs in the team use is the higher quality standard, unless It's objectively wrong (like going against well known best practice)

This should be a colaboratory process and code should be discussed openly without shame or ego to benefit the project overall, both short and long term

@jestdotty pff, there's no such thing as making too many projects. As you said earlier, it's all learning opportunities...

do I have a lot of started projects that I'll never finish? yes... But to be honest the project idea is usually just a carrier for me to learn a new tech or try something out... so I may have 3 separate home cloud projects started, each in a different language and tech and none of them finished... but I also now know 3 new techs that I built other, actually functional stuff with since then!

the world is a lego set and most projects are toys to try out all the lego pieces :3

@atheist Not a lot cause I don't work with node, but my space eater of choice is mostly python/pip and AI related packages like Torch, and some training data (though I don't keep anything brutally large there, I have a separate drive for that, and I'm also trying to keep stuff that uses similar packages to one environment, but there's definitely space creep anyway)

The raw amount of project space is definitely much much less

Yeah, that tracks...

and that's just my project folder from 2 years ago. I have a habit of periodically loosing all my stuff to poor backup hygiene. I started self hosting gitea recently, so that should save the most important ones in the future

Anyone else wants to share how their project folders are looking these days?

I know little of frontend and I don't really like any of the frameworks, but recently I was giving svelte 5 a try and it's kinda working for me. I like the "runes" they introduced and it's (for the most part) intuitive to work with... but I'm only using it for toy projects with a proper compiled backend so I can't say much more about it

Nice! Reminds of XML streaming used by XMPP except there you shouldn't close the stream tag, you keep it open and just stream sub objects into it, which on the other side is ofc parsed as perfectly valid XML. To end the communication stream you just close the </stream> tag and that's the end. Cool tech in general when you want to avoid the sync and overhead of http and other protocols.

I think the problem is opposite. Being a dev is too good and we already exhausted all the rants per dev, so now people just post memes, spam and junk

DevRant lives off of *dev rants*... Non dev rants are just exhausting l

Another way to look at it is that the manager protected you. A 13 point task estimation could indikate the task ticket is monolothic and the estimation might not be accurate. Splitting into smaller more granularly estimated tasks will likely be more precise. People can't effecticely reason about high numbers. That's one of the reasons why the SPs are traditionally given in a fibonnachi sequence, to accomodate for the human logarithmic thinking. But even then the estinations tend to break down with high values.

This also protects the devs from under-estimating hard to estimate tasks by too much. It's always better to overdeliver than not to deliver

If you are from the EU you can report them for violating GDPR and soon some other laws regarding the ease od closing an account.

In US I don't know what you can do, but I hope there's something.

First shoot them an email asking to remove the account, if they don't comply they should be in Trouble

@cafecortado same! We also had to implement HTTPS so all the certificate negotiation stuff and it was super fun

@antigermgerm if you look closely, my photo is actually a computer generated avatar and not a real photo! How insane is that?

Yeah, being fascist is the same as being gay. Coincidence? I don't think so!

@atheist have you tried Go? I find It's almost as intuitive to use as Python, but it is a compiled langugage and It's perfect for multi threading

Everyone asks "where is waldo?" but no one asks "how is waldo?" :(

List and map comprehensions are awesome, map is awesome, zip is awesome, the entire intertools package is awesome

Just because juniors exist doesn't mean we have to avoid 30% of the language

The secret trick to make your python code faster is to rewrite your code in C++ or another compiled language! Or at least parts of it via linking.

It's probably ostream thinking this is an appropriate way to cope with the hate in his heart.

This is what happens when people are terminally online and can't distinguish reality from a forum anymore, give it time :) time heals everything

@nazisshoulddie don't be chronically online dude. Spending so much time on creating accounts and spamming is just way more energy than a healthy individual should invest into people they dislike. You're only validating the behavior if you engage so much. What do you get in return? A bitterness fueled waste of time and effort. Just redirect that energy towards something actually useful that benefits you or people you care about before It's too late

@retoor it means that everyone is going to be charmed by the "magical o1" until they are not... The same way people were totally salivating ober gpt3 and gpt4 at their individual release until, months later, people finally realized It's not all that and It's actually barely useful for anything. Not sure why we have to go through this again for o1.

You just backtracked all the way to the start on the Gartner hype cycle?
