I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.

Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.

Saved games can go:

• My Documents/
• My Documents/Games
• My Documents/My Games
• <app>/saved-games

Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.

I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.

Envious. It averages 15-30 mins

Losing their jobs? Uh what?

Welp time to spend 3 hours rewatching all the Strongbad emails.

At my job, we have an error code that is similar to this. On the frontend, it’s just like error 123.

But in our internal error logs, it’s because the user submitted their credit card, didnt fully confirm, press back, removed all the items out of their cart, removed their credit card, then found their way back to the submit button through the browser history and attempted to submit without a card or a cart. Nothing would submit and no error was shown, but it was UI error.

It’s super convoluted. And we absolutely wanted to shoot the tester who gave us this use case.

Too real.

We had a consultation last year to better structure our code base to look more like the first picture. Then it slowly evolved back into the second picture.

Haha! Complete opposite.

Giant monorepo that’s delicately balanced and one wrong move can cause the whole thing to flip over.

(Not arguing over what is better. That’s just my life in the past few years, and It’s a stupid argument)

A lot of these old-fashion types are oblivious to social justice and get upset at even the thought that Institutional racism even exists, because they can point to their one black friend in tech who owns a mansion.

I used to get into arguments why master and slave was a problematic word to engineers. That’s how ignorant they are.

Those folks are dying out, especially as more diversity exists. Which is humourous because these folks will also rage about that too.

During the George Floyd Protests, Robert gives us a beautiful take that police stopping black people isn’t racist, it’s just math.

It’s mostly based on what he feels is good.

One of my main issues is, seeing his code in the past decade… It feels like this guy hasn’t coded in a collaborative environment in years.

His personal opinion tends to get on the way with code that’s easier to read from a team perspective. And “Uncle Bob” pushing that as the defacto way to code.

This happens from Influencer types who are so detached from the industry for decades and are no longer aligned with problems real engineers hit.

It’s not that he’s wrong. It’s that his perspective is outdated.

I’m not as much vitriol as others about Clean Code, but I will argue that engineers who preach the book as some sort of scripture are really obnoxious.

I love the Single Responsibility Principle, in theory.

What I don’t like is when devs try to refactor everything to that idea to achieve “Clean Code”. I’ve seen devs over-architect a solution, turning one function into many, because they don’t want to break that rule. Then point to this book as to WHY their code is now 20x longer than it needs to be.

It also doesn’t help that every recommendation about good programming books include this.

It’s like recommending a Fitness book from the 70s - information made sense at the time, but new research has made a lot of the advice questionable.

My main issue is the whole “Uncle Bob” persona. Robert C Martin is sexist and a racist, and has been uninvited by conferences. We don’t need that type of toxicity in the industry.

Do yourself a favor and get a Browser extension to block domains.

Quora is absolutely on my blocklist.

My problem is the lack of real answers from professionals.

As someone in the tech industry, I get curious and look around. And the top rated answers (usually theres like 3 answers max) are often wrong.

There was a hilarious Quora answer that asked about web development, and the person who answered was a guy whose experience was “I’ve been on the internet” who gave a solution using technology from 2010.

It’s hilariously bad and Quora don’t care.

CI/CD in 2012? Incredible. That didn’t become the norm for me until 2017.

Oh nice!

Then it’s really just a bad name. Volunteer ambassador implies a lot of other responsibilities.

Other industries call it like VIP or Insiders Club. And their responsibilities for being a part of it is to also share the excitement of the product.

I’m thinking they also want to future proof this.

The quantity of C devs are dying. It’s a really difficult language to get competent with.

For all of our sake, I hope humans are the final set of eyes before the code is used in prod.

Is there a article about this I can find more info about this?

It’s a brand new topic for me and I just read this one from a previous comment. And trying to learn more.

Oh that’s super helpful and incredible.

I’m not familiar with that side of Linux as I’m primarily a user. But that’s how our devops pipelines work to ship apps/websites. We’re shopping the entire working package with every update, and rolling back with issues. It’s a fantastic system since as a developer, I can isolate problems.

I never thought about that on a OS level. And I support it!
