What about a dead billionaire?

If someone shot musk or zuckerberg dead I’d be like “That’s good. That’s an improvement.”

Several times I’ve set the max warnings to whatever the current warning count is, and then decreased that over time.

I’m reminded of an old job’s database where every key was named “id_foo” instead of “foo_id”

You didn’t have user_id. You had id_user. You didn’t have project_id, you had id_project. Most of the time, anyway. It was weird and no one could remember why it was like that. (Also changes to the DB were kind of just yolo, there wasn’t like a list of migrations or anything)

At my job, me and another guy were given stuff to work on. But unknown to product, there’s a lot of shared code there.

In my imagination, it should be someone’s job to coordinate this. Instead, I finished a chunk of mine, he finished a chunk of his, and then there was confusion. Maybe that’s just a technical team lead’s job.

Conservatism is generally a worthless ideology that makes the world worse, so I don’t feel a desire to spend more time with it. We don’t need to debate “what if women don’t have rights”, “what if gay stuff is illegal?”, “what if you had to pay for health care so if you were poor you’d just die?” or whatever.

Maybe someone can find the person(s) making this return-to-office decision, and shoot them.

The right wing says things for effect, not for truth. That’s all.

They’ll say Biden eating ice cream is an embarrassment but Trump eating ice cream is showing he’s a man of the people. They have no consistency other than seeking power. They are, if you value honesty and consistency, bad people.

…what do you mean by using dev containers? Are your people doing development on their host machine?

Yeah we finally set up a workflow where we get production data available in a staging environment. This has saved a lot of trouble via “well it worked on my local where there were 100 records, but prod has 1037492 and it does not”

I didn’t vote for him and neither did anyone I know :(

The other day I was updating something and a test failed. I looked at it and saw I had written it, and left a comment that said like “{Coworker} says this test case is important”. Welp. He was right. Was a subtle wrong that could’ve gone out to customers, but the wrong stayed just on my local thanks to that test.

I would have questions about how they work with a team and structure.

Are they going to be okay with planning work out two weeks ahead? Sometimes hobbyists do like 80% of a task and then wander off (it’s me with some of my hobbies).

Are they going to be okay following existing code standards? I don’t want to deal with someone coming in and trying to relitigate line lengths or other formatting stuff, or someone who’s going to reject the idea of standards altogether.

Are they going to be okay giving and getting feedback from peers? Sometimes code review can be hard for people. I recently had a whole snafu at work where someone was trying to extend some existing code into something it wasn’t meant to do*, and he got really upset when the PR was rejected.

Do they write tests? Good ones? I feel like a lot of self taught hobbyists don’t. A lot of professionals don’t. I don’t want to deal with someone’s 4000 line endpoint that has no tests but “just works see I manually tested it”

I’ve definitely had some coworkers that in retrospect we should not have hired. But I’ve also had people I was iffy on that turned out great. Hiring is hard.

I know. I have a sad story I posted recently about when I was on a grand jury. It’s simple majority.

But there’s also no voir dire. I don’t think they asked me any questions except like “do you live here”.

Have there been indictments yet? Grand jury could nullify, which would be hilarious.

One: Peter Thiel is a horrible person and I hope Saint Luigi visits him.

Two: They could chose to change their behavior and be much safer. Stop profiting from exploitation and suffering. You don’t even have to go all the way to being a “good person”. No one’s going to assassinate the guy who quietly lives in a 3BR apartment and spends his afternoons at the museum, even if he’s living off high interest savings accounts.

Yeah I don’t understand why he didn’t lay low for longer.

Eric Adams is a giant turd.

Are these experts also concerned about the capitalist hellscape we live in? People aren’t loving the murder because it was murder. People love it because the guy who got shot was a huge asshole that profited from needless suffering.

All this hand wringing is bullshit

I think corporate America has ill will towards us.
