@magicMirror you do have a point mate, they might be predominantly backend stuff hence they need a front end dev... in my defense, it could have been worded better 😅

@rantydev that's probably it, it will usher is into the new era of distributed cloud computing 😂

@0xdevshm All my passwords include Gandalf because when i need to login i always say "i have no memory of this place"

@electrineer Having spent an entire week writing three documents in Word and having Word frequently mess up all the styles and indentation and colours... I'll take LaTeX any time over M$ 💯

@bedawang Sounds to me like you're over qualified to be a freelancer. You'd need a lobotomy to write code on such a bad level 😂

@localpost as in Hungarian style for an array if IDs of Float type? 😂

@fullstackchris WFH more suitable meaning is "Work From Here" 🤣🤣

Fantastic, glad you've made most out of that situation 👍

Also, 75% of goal achieved... In managerial world that's " expectations exceeded" 🤣

Love the view from today's office 👌

How long was the run supposed to be? I hope you at least got half of it in the bag 😊

Finally all those MBAs are paying off 🤣

Sounds terrible and quite frankly hopeless.

And you still there because...?

@Lensflare 💯

I may have been guilty of using T for less than fully basic object type but in my defense I was young and it achieved brevity (e. g. <T : Animal>).

I'm still being told I'm too picky when I ask teammates to change it in their pull requests 🙄

100% agree it's dumb, but in a single instance we have been "educated" to tolerate it due to many many brainwashing examples using it.
Same goes for "i" in a for loop.

But as soon as there's 2 or more, I always go for meaningful name like Fragment<VIEW, MODEL> and avoid Fragmet<T, V> crap

@cho-uc It's not an exaggeration, but it's probably not common too.

The penalty will depend on the sensitivity of the project, data, systems that laptop/user has and a few other things.

However if such action is forbidden on employee's environment usually there's a proper protocol how to bring code/documents in from the outside without introducing any risky activities.

A user couldn't figure out post tags.

Whenever they would post a #rant they would use #devRant

Sorry to hear that mate, but you really didn't have to wait for office access to get rid of the Mac, it actually works better when Mac hits the wall or the road below your window

Try a Mutation Testing library if it's available for your language. You'll find out pretty quickly if your test is as tight as you believe it is.

@Hazarth Mate, I didn't expect that much info, honest I expected a link to read. But thanks so much for the effort 🙏

I can confirm many of your points even as an adult due to avg sleeping a few good hours per night for over a year (since my little one was born). It's no fun and my memory and demeanor have taken a huge negative hit.

@Hazarth I've heard that theory summary before, what are the specifics on what our sleep pattern should be?

@Lensflare Kotlin also has KotlinNative that doesn't run on JVM and can even compile for iOS although Apple might not officially approve publishing of such binaries because... Apple

welcome to the hell of our own making 😒

It's been a while since I professionally worked on API side, but from app/consumer side it's really confusing to return 200 with json { error: incorrect params}

There's a 400 Bad Request for exactly that case.

@jiraTicket It's as bad as you have been told and probably even worse. I'm shocked that they are still capable of hiring.

My experience was similar to OPs but I worked in a massive global agency that in the past had clients like Rolex and Samsung.
We kept asking for one or 2 more devs (we were three) and they kept saying they have no budget for them. My final blow was when I found out they had 2mil budget, but 300k was allocated for devs, 800k for marketing (radio, tv, billboards) and the rest was for bonuses for 5-6 managers.

Priorities:
1. Is PC alright?
2. Can you bolt the PC?
3. How's the mouse doing?
...
25. Are you alright mate?
...
73. Is the cat fine?

Gotta love DevRant 😻

You basically summed up what I've been annoyed by for the last few months. I'm more and more convinced that the person on my team is doing it on purpose just to "leave their mark" 😭

@asgs Exactly, it is known that it's 17% or nothing 🤣

@stop

Data Layer
Domain Layer
Domain Language
DownLoad
Dynamic Linking
Distribution Licence

take your pick 🤮

It's often random until you figure out the real cause. In our projects our tests failed randomly, sometimes TestA, sometimes TestB, sometimes TestC. Until we realised that none of the tests clean up their context/data and all following tests fail assertions by a constant offset (equal to number of records created by previous tests)

Wish I could give you an advice here, but sadly I can only offer "keep fixing properly and best of luck" 👍

@Ranchonyx I never thought Bean terminology comes loaded with that empty constructor and serialization.

I always thought it was just a thematic name for class/object (as in Java/Coffee Beans).

If the serialization is implied in Beans it should be enforced by an interface or an abstraction. Also two different revisions of same class (Bean) would break (un) marshalling hence the need for ProtBuffs (e. g. two deployments not updated at the same time but talking to each other via HTTP or CORBA)

@drego Beat me to it. Our profession is under threat if we start calling developers those that only do CSS 😒
