Testing on production is always trendy.

Do yourself a favor and don't get into it. Don't waste time on reading utter gibberish people write on Twitter. Live life, log out, speak with people in the real world, be with your family.

Can you please post a number to your dealer? Apparently he has some neat stuff :D.

@h4xx3r And all of this for the glory of consumptionism and capitalism. It's maddening that when buying something that falls into the "IoT" category, we have to study the terms and conditions thoroughly, so we can have some kind of idea what will happen with the data that company collects.

@h4xx3r Can you elaborate what was so evil about the terms and conditions? I am curious.

About controlling the washing machine from your couch... yeah, lazy much? It's about 2-5 minutes of not-so-heavy work to load it with laundry and then about 10-15 seconds to set the right program.
The society is becoming more and more reliant on technology to the point that it's really unhealthy. Get-the-fuck-up from your couch and do the laundry and vacuuming (yeah, I'm looking at you, "AI controlled vacuum") yourself.

Because it's an app written in JS compiled to Objective C running on app-embedded custom JVM implementation.

It's still going on. For example I wannacry everytime I see Javascript.

The faster you'll leave not-that-great job, the better for your career.
I am currently looking for a different job, because my current one does not suffice me anymore. The pay was always under the average and technical debt was high when I came here two years ago (and now is even greater). But I stayed here way too long because of the people and I feel that I need to learn way too much to switch to another one. Don't make the same mistake.

It always hurts. I sincerely hope you'll find a new one quite soon. Remember than you're not alone and if something bad will be happening, seek help.

Oh, is this first occurrence of TDD working outside of books and academic environment?

And why is Github blocked at your workplace...? That's dumb.

@Snob

If you see a language used for everything, you can't say anything else than "it's a trend".

What happened to picking right tools for the problem?

GLHF.

Nothing about microservices? Is this a real conference?

Been there, done that. When some senior developers are leaving the company, almost always documentation for the internal framework goes with them. Moreover - why the heck would anyone want to build yet-another-framework, where there are production-grade ready and verified tools available?
