I'm puzzled by this...what are they respective explanations? Why is copying from SO bad? And, how can be good, reading and copying SO it's actually quit time consuming, compared to being able to solve problems by yourself.

happy for the flood of comments. I stand my view that technical debt is grossly misunderstood. It's not doing crappy job on purpose. It's actually being filled with the purpose of business and sacrifice for the goal.
It's also a awareness of the limitation of the human mind.
And I also believe that in a technical-debt free world, developers will actually be in
danger. So technical debt in the end is what make our job meaningful.

yeah frontenders are pretty always under fire in the first line. But when you want really to drop a shit-bomb, you drop it on the backend...and underground there is no much you can do to escape...

@jkommeren then, what do you use now?

@dontbeevil ahaha I see...I also hate brew. I also hate the "install later" message popping up every fucking day. Let's say I use equally Windows, Mac and Linux. I hate equally all of them for different reasons...

@dontbeevil I'll love to give you ++ for a solid mac rant, there are plenty of opportunity. Here the rant is in general about being continuously wasting effort in solving shitty problems. Mac, Linux, Windows whatever, there is always some fucking little stone in your shoe that make difficult your primary goal: walking

@Fast-Nop oooh, great idea indeed

@Sumafu well, "blaming other for mistakes" is a style of ranting...

I think you shouldn't really give a fuck about him/them. If he makes fun of everybody probably he is not after you. He is just an annoying lowlife person that cannot concentrate on his job and probably an egocentric attention whore.

Just dismiss him like you dismiss 99% of percent of warnings and stupid errors in the logs of a bloated java application.

Watch out for the dangerous 1% though.
You are the senior there, after all. Assume your role.

To make it more creative I would add a little survey:
"did you like this error message? yes/no/fuckyou"

I'll look for a boilerplate similar to my use case in whatever language

hmmm in your story it looks like you declined to offer immediate help in a polite way, because other priorities were decided. In addition you didn't refuse to help, but offered help later...

Only an asshole manager could treat you in the way you described.
Unless 1.the person you refused to help was a relative/friend of the manager 2.you were politely screaming and yelling...

@cervantes01 I've got 5 job offers...

@Fast-Nop that's why I use Quora for spiritual support and SO for technical support

sorry, I think I like the Big ones, lasting little time.

Think about robbing a bank vs pickpocketing in the crowd.

@IntrusionCM yes probably I was carried away by the rant. But trying to approach C# with a java perspective, probably it's the first reaction...I'd like to dive deep into the differences

trying to terraform Mars IT IS an attempt to solve an environment problem actually...

yeah I see...moving buttons around and changing colors...can be pretty dull...I feel the same, I like to own projects from start to end rather follow some graphic guidelines...

an API endpoint that just returns the value 5?

They probably implemented a very efficient caching system

@Frederick yeah well, if nobody knows the endpoint nor the database structure anyway, it's extremely secure. It's called security through obscurity.

uh!
I had the same problem when I invented the human male body and designed a small tube to eliminate waste liquid.
Later I thought the same "tube" idea was useful also for fucking.
What to do?
A) use the same tube for both? a bit messy.
B) create two similar tubes? one named "penis", flexible and soft, the other "cock", always hard and straight?

Not sure my personal solution was the best one, but it worked. more or less.

It got complicated with the external interface.

hmmm but why does he want to know?
Is he aiming to some ill-designed attempt to save money, or he want just to measure his dick at the golf club: "Yeah, well, you know, I have more than n-hundreds kubernetes containers down there"

If it's the latter, it could just make up any number

Oh wow. I learned the meaning of some obscure spring @Annotations. Fuck me if I remember them now.

At least when I studied math I was actually able to understand what I was learning

Is there a ticket entrance I can buy to watch this prank in action? Will you do it at office? will it be on youtube?

"frontend doesn't give me enough challenges"??
Yeah, I also started to feel that way after the demise of IE6, but still...last time I was doing frontend..shit..testing so many fucking devices
and breakpoints, I wouldn't use the word "challenging" I would say rather it was a fucking nightmare.

Plus you are exposed to "end" users (=end of intelligence).

Anyway, glad you can rant your way out. It's a fucking lonely job to be a dev.

I entered in rantoverflow mode.

I just decided to use Visual Studio Code, and download .NET 5.0.

And I see a nice message "this release is only compatible with Visual Studio 2019"

WTF

holy fuck, there is also .NET fuckwork. Is this a Kamasutra of Dev or what?

I think I can contribute to this project.

Does it also throw errors? Like "theFuckingDate is Null"?

I spent 6 months looking for a job. In my cv I wrote things like "senior software engineer". Ability to understand and lead project end to end. Ownership. Commitment. Alignment of technology to business. Quick learner. Problem solver. Almost no interviews.

I changed, and I wrote FullStack in my cv. I've got 40 interviews in one month.

In some cases, my mini-buzzword-stack overlapped with the full-of-shit-stack of the interviewers, in other cases not.

I've got 4 job offers, though.
I've accepted one.

Now I'm trying to remember what I faked in the interview of the accepted job, and prepare for it.

Fullstack till you make it.

@Fast-Nop kind of agree with you. But in that particular post, somebody else replied, mentioning the doc, and giving a detailed explanation. I value that more....SO is also a repository of questions and answers...quality of answers is also important...
