I go into gaming communities and see people hate on developers and I’m all like, dear God the fact that this works at all? Modern games are amazingly complex!
Blame the company for shortening timelines sure, but I never blame the devs.
Little bit of everything!

Email is kind of hard. There’s usually only one API key to the email client, and there’s no real safe way to call it. Personally over the years my approach is to have an internal library that reads what environment it is in, and then if it doesn’t explicitly tell that it’s in prod, it reroutes everything to safe email addresses.
Oh man, I did that at a midsize company as a jr. That’s a right of passage. Informing millions of people that you’re shit at testing. That was a fun conversation with my boss
I mean, there’s a 99% chance this is running in a container, and so worst case you kill that specific container, which is immediately spun up again
Yes, yes you really should
You should have all new posts and comments coming in, comments here mean it’s probably working. Sort by new and things should start coming in. If you don’t see any new posts or it stays stuck on subscribe pending, it means there is something probably wrong
Second this, there’s no history to load. Even Mastodon only loads I believe 100 posts or something when a brand new instance subscribes.
As a backend engineer who has experience with frontend I’ve learned it’s two things
From an engineer’s point of view, if they call themselves a full stack engineer they’re usually a front end dev who have written a few apis in the past. No shame, but I’ve seen way too many people say they’re backend without fully understanding what being a backend engineer really is in terms of scale, speed, and flexibility.
From q businesses point a view, a full stack engineer is a role they made up that means “we expect an expert in all areas but want to pay a lower rate”.
Both areas need experts. I’d say I’m an expert in backend. I think it’s impossible to be an expert in everything, and companies who want “full stacks” should expect jack of all trades master of none, and will attract literally any engineer, because what the hell is full stack.
I’ve probably pissed off a lot of fellow engineers, but I guess what I’m trying to say is be a master of your domain. Learn how frontend and backend work, but don’t try to be an expert in everything. It’s good to specialize. When you’re asked if you are a full stack engineer it’s perfectly fine to say “I have experience in the full stack, my expertise is on the backend, but I can do react when needed”
It’s in the Lemmy docs. You need to have federation enabled, https, a banner image, description set, and maybe something else.
That’s not the point I was making. If you’re an instance owner then yes you should abide by the laws, but most are individuals, and I’ll say I had to learn a lot hosting my own. I try to be in full compliance, but I say try because you’re asking one guy who knows how to run a server legal questions. If someone asked me to delete it I would, but you’re dealing with thousands of server owners. I wouldn’t bet that everyone will follow your request.
As for laws, well, no also. Say a 3 letter agency in the US sets up a server listening to you. They’re not in the EU at all. You send a gdpr takedown request. The listening server can legally ignore this. You sent them data, it’s outside of the jurisdiction of the gdpr, they don’t host anything. So no. I get your sentiment, but you’re quite literally blasting comments out to everyone who will listen, this is not a private space, this is as open as it gets.
You have a very “this is the way it should work” thought process, but I’m here telling you that’s in theory only. In practice anyone will be listening to anything, and you should not treat Lemmy or the fediverse as private. If you want private, use matrix.
By using the fediverse you blast that comment out to any server hosted anywhere in the world hosted by anyone. Even if an instance is hosted in one of those countries it would have to be following and enforced, and you would have to follow up with every server you sent it to and verify (somehow, remember they don’t need to actually have a public frontend) that your comment was deleted.
So, no. I would not ever assume that on the fediverse. Free and open means completely free and completely open. It’s like the 90s here, there’s no such thing as delete.
No. And simply put, this is because of the nature of the fediverse. You post something then it’s on anyone listening’s server. Lemmy or otherwise. Now, when you delete you send a delete request to all of those servers too.
Here’s the thing. What if someone forks Lemmy or just has their own server type. They don’t HAVE to implement delete. It could still be there. Maybe it’s hidden, but it’s there.
Now assume any government or corp is listening to the fediverse.
So no. We’re open, no one can take us down, but, know that anyone can listen, and they can do whatever they want
Yup, just one of those posts that could of course work in either
checks the community to make sure I’m in programmer humor
Yeah that checks out
Docker: So we decided to ship his machine
I just had an entire platform killed after 10 months of development.
It’s your modlog, it shows all mod actions against you. The very top item in the list says:
Ban evasion/Trolling (alt of Don_Dickle@piefed.social)
Yep just enough users, and your basic info set. It talks about it in the docs
“wow, what director level ass pushed them so hard that they had to leave that bug in?”
I think of the T-pose all the time in cyberpunk, that was a bug that was horrible but obviously it was tracked somewhere, and some director was like “it’s fine, ship it”
