Seems like a Lemmy feature request, not a voyager feature request

Dude, should I learn COBOL?

Jeez, that issue has lasted about two years now. Hope it gets sorted out. Seems like a ridiculous thing to leave hanging that long.

This is not something that should be solved by the app front end. This should be fixed by a combination of moderator actions and some backend validation to detect inadvertent duplicate posts.

Cool idea

Love it when my coworkers reformat the code style, making it nigh impossible to understand what they actually changed, while greatly inflating their “contribution.”

It also blows away the git blame, making it hard to know who actually changed that one critical line of business logic 3 years ago that you need to understand before trying to fix some obscure bug.

I have one coworker who does this constantly and if you just looked at git blame, you’d think he wrote the entire code base himself.

Why aren’t the booleans like “facts” or “no cap” for true and cap for “false”?

Also, you could have exceptions be called “Sus”

I feel like the reason a company like skiff became more popular than something like cryptopad, which has been around for a while comes down to execution and UX/UI. I’m pissed about skiff, but I did use it. I’ve never used Cryptpad because frankly it looks and feels not that great. I hope they put some effort into the UX/UI.

Friendica is a Facebook-like app? Which means you use your real identity and connect to real life friends. This also means all that data gets passed around to any instance that wants it via activity pub. Given the potential for abuse there that is just inherent to the app, I don’t think I would ever be interested in a service like Friendica.

What new ideas exist that some “programmer” can build themselves with a laptop and an energy drink? CRUD web app ideas are largely exhausted and their functionality has been absorbed into 5 major companies. If an idea is truly new and shows promise one of those companies will quickly clone it and integrate it with their platform, so their existing users have minimal effort to start using it. They won’t use your new app. Signing up for services is a pain.

Starting a tech company these days is going to be more and more complex. You can’t get by with a web app you hacked together in an afternoon. And, it will likely need to involve AI to attract investors. You also need to have plenty of capital to procure users via marketing.

Major tech companies also use Java… Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.

Regarding OCR theory, the screen never shows messages. It only will read them aloud because you’re driving and shouldn’t be reading your texts.

I like Mozilla, I respect their mission and their good nature. I can’t help but feel the billions they receive from Google make it too easy for them to be, at best, unfocused and, at worst, lazy. They offer a lot of random services like this. I fear this play is just chasing another possible mediocre revenue generator for them. Like pocket, like Mozilla vpn and private relay, etc.

Gaben used to work at Microsoft and left because he hated it.

Haha, I had actually been wanting to leave, but I had a feeling that a layoff might happen and I wanted that severance. So, I spent all my spare time interview prepping and waiting. Sure enough, we were laid off and I was primed to interview immediately.

For me it was a random 15 minute 1 on 1 with the director that appeared out of nowhere on my calendar.

I checked his calendar in outlook and saw like 8-10 15 minute meetings scheduled back to back. I immediately knew something was up. 5 minutes later my coworker called me almost sobbing saying he had been cut. I knew the deal. 15 minutes later another coworker called and said he had been cut too. Sure enough, my time came too.

It sucked but, I found another job before my last day and managed to pocket the 6 weeks of severance.

It’s always fun to hear management pushing code coverage. It’s a fairly useless metric. It’s easy to get coverage without actually testing anything. I’ve seen unit tests that consist simply of starting the whole program and running it without asserting anything or checking outputs.
