Polyamory is weird and I'll never fully understand it. Every polyamorous relationship I've ever been in ended with my partner demanding monogamy weeks into the relationship, despite us setting firm boundaries and expectations at the beginning
And when I say demanding, I mean "be exclusive to me or never speak to me again", and these are folks that were staunchly poly at the beginning17 -
I've been using Supermaven for the past few weeks because my one buddy keeps raving about how it's going to replace me (he's a weekend coder type guy who's in the trades)
It just tried to write a Typescript switch block in a Ruby file. I was writing a .rake file this morning and it was trying to write some strange TS/Ruby hybrid code. Big yikes
Apparently Copilot is even worse lmao1 -
Silly straws aren't even that silly to me anymore :/ damn really says a lot about society the way and how far we've fallen :/7

So I've been working with a Ruby DSL my colleague wrote for our rails app that builds app flows represented by data using migrations, which are consumed and rendered by the frontend. So data-driven UI.
It's very solid in prod, so we're running with it, but it can be hard to work with because everything is built using migrations - for example, the one signup flow we have spans across 7 migrations that add/change/remove components in the flow, change decision logic, etc.
I'm building a particularly complex one and can't decide which development method is better. I can either
1. write the flow in one huge migration, then change as needed - keep rolling back, resetting and testing until it works, or
2. increment changes and additions in multiple migrations across multiple pull requests, such that the final product spans across about 10-12 smaller migrations
Which one?
Both are super icky to me but I'm leaning toward 1. At least all of the shit would be in one place and would make sense without needing to switch between 10-12 files to see where shit is being defined, changed, etc. because it reads chronologically.3 -
Just watched Fight Club for the first time last night (which probably seems insane as a 31 year old cis white male I know but I was raised poor/white trash and didn't really watch movies)
So, so glad we no longer have that cliche movie premise of "ugh I hate my stable, well-paid job with benefits and my stable, comfortable life UUGGGGHHH"
However the idea of a bunch of sexually repressed, generally soft office workers beating the shit out of each other is pretty hilarious on its own14 -
Silly putty isn't even that silly to me :/ I guess that's just how life is for someone as twisted as myself XD2

i'm trying to quit nicotine so this probably comes off as slightly psychotic but i hate when people add .. to every sentence they type.. as if.. they're pausing.. for dramatic effect.. or maybe.. some kind of passive aggression.. where they just can't.. fathom.. what you're even saying.. .............9

most of the self-described "AI experts" on my Linkedin feed were "scrum masters" not even half a decade ago. something to think about2

I have received tons of shade from my organization for insisting we document business logic (literally had leads pull me aside and tell me to stop suggesting it) and I think I understand why now...5

Company is giving me whatever I need to learn Rails, I'm like 3/10 on skill & ability in it. What resources should I look into?3

The Bluetooth API for Android is a fucking mess.
So is WiFi direct. Good luck doing anything with it.
That's all lol3 -
So management posted an article "10 signs you suck at your job" in the lunch room. It's pretty passive-aggressive; I wish I could find the link to it somewhere to post here.
Would you post the similar article "10 signs you're not management material" in there as well?8 -
has anyone here ever tried microdosing?
I've been attempting it with psylocybin but it's hard to get the dosage right. today I think a **little** too much and was a little out of it for a couple hours. luckily I nobody talks to me when I have my headphones on.

Which is better:
1. Developers who develop software writing documentation for the software they developed
2. Marketing people who market stuff writing documentation for the software the developers developed1 -
started using vim just for shits and I gotta say it's been a massive pain in the ass.
wanted to indent like 7 blocks of code at once. 20 minutes later I've tried several methods, none of which indent it 4 spaces like the rest of my file.
there's like 15 different ways to indent shit. Jesus Christ.
then I had to sift through countless people in heated vim debates on SO.
I am not worthy9 -
define every function like this:
def function ( arg ) :
instead of
def function(arg):
bit of a nitpick I know. but when I asked her about it she said "convention" and when I asked which convention she replied with "the only one in existence"
so I was triggered by that for sure28 -
posted a question to StackOverflow this morning

now they're both downvoted to -2 with no other comments. wtf SO?13 -
any advice for a junior dev that can't get any fucking help from the senior devs? I can only in good-conscience try to solve a problem for so long before I know I'm seriously wasting my time
when I ask for help I often get "I'll get to your question in two or three days"
like damn I'm pretty stuck here guy10 -
