@webketje had to check where you were from 😅 your name sounded plausible. I'm doing WIP commits on a branch, not doing PR till it's done but he's also giving review comments on incomplete code not currently under review and just fucking wasting my time...

I'm literally just doing the same work but committing more often. Before I'd commit working stuff at sensible times. But it takes time to get stuff working. So fuck it.

Chaos? Wanna know what it is

@BordedDev I like to document things. Not because I find it useful, but because it means other people don't have to talk to me.

My first job, sure I'd help them. My current job, I'll just reply with a laughing emoji.

The obvious situation where it doesn't hold true is a small problem.

But I'd also say it doesn't hold true when a rethink, rearchitect, is needed. There have been times when I just needed to rip everything out and start from scratch. Sure, then *that* can be broken down, but the base idea of what it should be replaced with isn't something that can be done piecemeal.

@jiraTicket lol most of my work has been math. Just not what I consider hard. Integration, summations, other shit

@retoor so do we prefer applying the rules of grammar or having the rules applied? Me, I prefer strong women applying the rules.

The most surprising thing here is your surprise

@Demolishun a fellow connoisseur of rule 34 I see

Unfortunately life's sense of humour is easily mistaken for a metal bar that it beats you with.

I also forget how competent I am and how much flexibility that gives me in my job. One comment was genuinely "I'll ask my manager if they want me to spend time on that", whereas I'd just say fuck it we ball, I gon do the thing.

Aaaaand I've killed it. It generated half a sentence and stopped.

RIP ostream

@jestdotty what do I need to do to earn your approval? 😜

Huh, I didn't realise so many people were JS devs here.

The worst thing is I'm in a different department and no idea what seniority this person is so I don't know if I can just tell them to change shit and know they'll actually listen or not. I'm reviewing because I rewrote it previously after another data scientist did a load of god awful code (worse than this).

I've so far spent half a day reviewing this and have only got as far as style yet..

@Lensflare DO YOU SEE WHY I'M FRUSTRATED NOW?! I'm not paid enough to baby people

@Lensflare fuck you, I use type annotations and shit. I'm also a c++ dev too. They've got huge ass comments explaining what the code does, like legit 50 dashes, a line saying this loads data, another 50 dashes then a COMMENTED OUT load line that has been replaced elsewhere. It was added and removed by the same person in the same block of work I'm currently reviewing, so I just see this useless block has been added.

@retoor sudden flashbacks of having to work with bio people who are shitty programmers and insist on using R language

If in doubt, assume colleagues are incompetent.

ADR? Not integrated in the IDE but Architecture Decision Record a la your comments

AI is by definition average. As long as you're not mediocre, you're fine.

But what if it's not a [s]he, what if it's a [t]hey?

10 years ago the FB mobile app had 18,000 classes. Classes. Not lines of code. Classes.

AI will replace those devs...

@retoor he might know a lot but he sounds dumb as a plank.

IRL logic: Trump.

I had 5 years in c++ high performance data analysis. Was told I'd be doing similar stuff for genetics. First month I was dumped on html bullshit (I'd never written any before).

6 small VMs (or one larger) and 20gb database, plus other stuff, free forever
