How does this impact taste?
As someone OE, absolutely.
2 years? More like 3-6 months.
I just died a little inside. Thank you.
Knowing two people who formerly worked at Wells Fargo, this sounds about right.
It’s amazing to me that they misspelled “reaserch” in the first bullet item.
In their defense (maybe a stretch) it could be 1-tab indents with a 1-space display?
I’m trying for their sake.
I worked for a company that refused to use TypeScript because it “slowed devs down”. It was…a laughable period in my life.
And then I realized it’s python.
I was going to vote Dem no matter what.
But I have multiple friends who weren’t, solely because of Israel-Palestine (they weren’t voting trump either, they were either going to abstain or write-in…useless)
But this has turned them around and, at least in my small circle, is meaningful.
Fingers crossed.
That’s what I did locally.
But a lot of this JavaScript wasn’t even transpiled/compiled for prod, just uploaded to a bucket and referenced directly. It was painful.
Typo’d property names when accessing was the biggest one. Assuming a property was one data type instead of another and not casting or handling it appropriately. Accidentally calling something like it’s a method when it isn’t.
I ran a bunch of plugins on my end to help with some of that, but many of the older or stubborn devs refused and would refuse anything but, like, vim with no add-ons.
110% agree. But…
One job I worked at wouldn’t let us do this because it created too large of a QA impact (lol). We were only allowed to modify code in the smallest section possible so that testing could be isolated and go faster.
At another job they mandated that TypeScript wasn’t allowed because it “slowed down development”. It was soooo laughable. The number of bugs introduced that could have been readily caught was absurd, but management never put the two pieces together.
In my defense, the backend contracts change so often in early development the any just made sense at first…
…and then the delivery date was moved up and we all just had to ship it…
…and then half of us got laid off so now there are no resources to go back and fix it…
…rinse, wash, repeat
What would be even more wild is if you edited/replied to yourself and said, “nvm figured it out”…only to later discover it and not remember what you did
When you have 1000+ Cypress tests, for example, it takes time to run, plain and simple.
Now, if they were simple unit tests, sure, one could run thousands in a second or two, but they aren’t. Even headless, these just took time.
I worked for a company that required 95% code coverage but simultaneously complained about how slow tests ran.
🤷♂️
How do I do that?
