Follow documentation, copy supposedly working example, follow advice of tech lead, try to implement a bug fix, it isn't working and the recommended way to test it from SMEs elsewhere is inconsistent

Thoughts on the idea of including links/query starters for debugging or where the fucking logs are in AWS, grafana etc in repository READMEs?1
-
when you get response to AWS command `Credential should be scoped to a valid region.` but your coworkers don't so you have something different to debug on your end

recruiter internal to a company reaches out, I think I have a good screening call with them, get a rejection afterwards

Anybody have any easily searchable sync-ed notes apps that are free or one time fee they'd recommend or do I need to get better at google drive?
I've been thinking about trying to cheat and have a git repository to imitate it but imagine the automation to be a pain in the ass or infeasible if anybody has already walked down that road.5 -
New to AWS, is my best option for having a integer value (maximum number of items to process) that I can override for a lambda step function
to read a value from an S3 bucket where I can overwrite the value if I want to change it. This seems silly and I feel silly as I expect my situation should be simple and not novel at all.
For some reason I expected I could use an environment variable, but didn't see an option to overwrite it in the web GUI https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/...2 -
asked to estimate size of ticket about adding test data, but no details about what test cases or what kind of data

When the IDE doesn't show a scrollbar so you need to know/see to stretch it to find the settings you need.

fuck u jetbrains1 -
get bug
find slack context
senior describes some stuff as magic and it's unfortunately not working as expected

the bittersweet relief/despair when your veteran senior tells you that it's a legacy mess you're dealing with here, and that's the basis of the tips/strategy/context given in a task1
-
when docker desktop lies to you it updated when you looked to update to latest weeks ago
so you try again and realize there's no fucking progress bar to get any sense of progress -
fuck up some code and the mistake gets noticed later
add tests to cover up my fuck up
get asked to add tests for other existing presumably correct code i did not add or change in the nearby area
so be it4 -
i am an unskilled pussy without strong opinions
sometimes you get conflicting feedback on code reviews from seniors
i'll do whatever you guys want (haven't encountered anything egregious enough that I do have a strong opinion on yet), but y'all may need to sort out how you want me to slice this cat4 -
team lead/senior telling you that you're probably going to break prod and have to patch it for the next couple of weeks when working on one of the first migration epics on legacy monolith, but we'll get good data from it doesn't make it any less terrifying5
-
we need you to do migrations in a legacy codebase which includes changes against a tool you will not have access to test against1

Anybody have opinions on code complete 2? I'm looking to retry reading it.

don't remember what the fuck i did and why i did it rereading a ticket and the pull requests from 6 months ago
on a tech stack i am still unfamiliar with

file names
full capitalized, spaces in between some, mix of underscores and hyphens depending
but it works when i used them raw as is to be supplied for a path to something
didnt even bother escaping anything
should be a pleasant surprise but was told (reasonably considering the situation) to correct what i received1 -
git annotate on note about hsit being deprecated, hoping to trace up that to find what i should use instead
over 800 lines of code changes associated with commit
no pull request or jira ticket associated with it to help me dig

search engine of choice that isn't google?
i find google doesn't give me what im looking for more often than it used to5 -
need to update microservice version used by other service up multiple versions so it grabs new field i need
now im stuck debugging whether or not somebody else broke some shit, i broke some shit, or it was already broken2 -
when the stack trace wasn't included in the error logging
fuck me, how the fuck am i supposed to know where the exception occurred
perhaps i've taken it all for granted thinking that the default toString implementation of an exception would've included that5 -
reality: I saw null in the debugger here, causing the bug
add a null check
IDE: you don't need to check for null, this can't be null
what do you do when you can't trust the tools you work with8 -
receive multi year old confused bug/feature request from a former CEO
why
are there not other people who can immediately answer the questions instead of playing broken telephone when it arrives to me, to go find them
do you not have better things to do with your time and other directional priorities for the company or should i really muck around this low priority thing?
i guess i just lack the CEO M I N D S E T, also the compensation package1
