University makes us sign our documents electronically. What this means is that we're required to put pictures of our signature onto all sorts of declarations. Since none of the documents we "sign" this way are important it could be okay, but I don't understand why it's beneficial to encourage us to keep a photo of our signature on our computers, paving the way to identity theft.

If my manager asked for an update only on ONE report on projects, I think he'd be a perfect manager. Right now, I'm having to update FOUR different things for everything I work on: an institutional ticketing system, management's summary view page for the same ticketing system, weekly report, and my personal logging journal.

Is it normal that IT support of a multinational bigass corporate drops the "we may need to change your PC because maybe your network card is defective" after explaining over and over that you have problems with HTTPS only when using the corporate network (whether onsite or via VPN) and not in external connections?

I can’t put into words how much I dislike coding in front of people in an interview

If something is functional and you don’t think it’s beautiful, you should rethink your definition of beauty.

In Morning: Let's remove this bug.
*after some time*
"Ok!!! I would solve this at night time."
Night: leave it! Let's work on another project.

May have asked this before but couldn't get an answer from any of the "experts" at my company so...

How do you store/pass in db login and certs for testing/debugging from your own machine?

I'm using Java Spring and the way I'm thinking of is to override the application.yaml, in the Debug configs, to point to one that has the credentials but only shared within the team?

Started learning COLEMAK today, hard but still a lot easier that I thought it was going to be!

so I have a junior who merged in a fix for an issue yesterday, and it was tested today and there was an issue with his "fix".

so he comes to me and says "hey this is an issue" and i'm like "yeah, remember i told you about that yesterday when i tested your changes? why did it get merged?"

so i tell him "its because of <reason> and that's why i specified the approach that i did in the ticket originally"

so he's like "ok i'll try that" and before doing that i leave him with "you will probably want to do <thing> because of <reason> with that approach"

so fast forward to like 10 mins ago. literally half the fucking day has gone by.

"hey, so i can't get this to work"

"yeah its because <reason> but what you /can/ do is <same fucking thing i told him to do this morning>"

"oh ok, ill give that a shot :thumbsup: "

and yet he's had this chip on his shoulder since reviews because he feels like he should have gotten a bigger raise and he's worth more than he's paid. and wonders why after 3 years he still hasn't been promoted from a junior.

and don't fucking say 'that's above my pay grade' all the time like you aren't fairly compensated, and then struggle to employ the same fucking patterns in a code base you've worked with for 3 years now.

Companies really need to re-evaluate what they ask as security questions.

If I know your name and your approximate date of birth (to the month) then, here in the UK at least, I have a very good chance of being able to find out your parents names, your mother's maiden name, your address, your parents address (i.e. probably where you grew up and what school you went to), your parents ages, when they got married, etc. - and all from publicly available info, not illegal crap you find on Tor or social media stalking.

This isn't hard to find if you know where to look - the problem is that people think that it's all private, and behave as such - and companies encourage it. The typical "internet safety courses" don't even touch on it, and even more tech savvy people I know often don't have a clue this is possible.

How many jobs do you see asking by Android Compose. I'm very exciting studying it and I believe that is a good way to get a job from out my country (BR)

The number of simps on LinkedIn is increasing? Or am I just noticing that??

Fuck you edge cases! This task was supposed to be a breeze and thanks to you it’s turning into a nightmare 🤯

Does anyone happen to know of some good resources for securing a flask app? I'm writing my first flask app on a development host and just like crabs to pubes, I've got bots attacking it already.

I'm working on fail2ban now and I'm reading up on options listed here: https://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Secu...

thank you in advance for your help or expertise with Flask/Security!!

ok. been going full steam since December with 1 day off since. managing teams, review designs, designing, prototyping, code reviewing, mentoring, and doing project. management. i get that it's a "flat" org structure but hire proper PMs and BAs instead of trying to pinch pennies. all the while, i see marketing with deeeeeeep pockets spending money on anything like mommy and daddy are funding their spring break getaway. i need time to disconnect and recharge my spirit.

What is your biggest embarrassing regret in your career?

I will go first. I regret than those day I don't understand OOP and Bull-shiting around.

hello fellas, and read this post carefully and full.

i hate u if you use windows or osx. I'm a proud arch user. many of u people can't even install it. and i use emacs which is the best editor ever. anyone who uses anything else is an idiot, (not a real programmer). the tools you selected along the way defines who you are inside. people today learn programming from python and scratch, these people are homos. true programmer learns c or lisp, which are true programming languages. if you have courage use only arch linux, better compile it yourself, this will transcend you into becoming a real progammer. don't just any distro and be a faker. and remember to teach your children that python is what faggots use.
we need to make world a better place, please take the responsibility. this is my humble request, ++ it so more people can listen to my msg., and be awaken.

Question for those that worked alone with a project manager, and were you covered multiple parts, frontend, backend, mobile and you basically have good friendship with the project owner/manager but the job got bored or wanted to switch jobs because you wanted to change environment.

What was the period you informed your employer/project manager in advance about your resignation and leaving? 2 weeks, a month? more? And was it enough time for the manager to find replacement? Did you leave in good terms?

A few days ago, one could have said that C++ is giving me PTSD.
Now, I've come to adore, cherish and love it for it's simplicity.

It feels so much better than Java.
No shit on java, it's good in what it does but damn boi C++ can do like, fucking everything.

Probably still gonna gib me PTSD in a week or so but fuck it.

I literally can't. Life would get too boring not learning new stuff.

Being distracted from despair for a couple moments.

I doubt it's really useful.

So, today I tried using my C/++ Code in Java using native jvm stuff.
It's cancer to make it work but damn it's cool.

Today I bought a leek and hunted people with it.

Turns out we doing SQL in CS now.
Not gonna lie it's...surprisingly easy(?).

Coding night with @Keanu
Javascript debugging sucks ass

console.log("yeet") > debugger;

Have I ever mentioned how much TypeScript compensates for JavaScript's Lack of being statically typed?
It's. So. Much. Better.
