Not engineer.

At least here in Germany, engineer is a protected profession. Other than that: All of the above.

Does it have “WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE!” in golden letters somewhere?

Just like my $variables I can be anything I want. Deal with it! 🫳🎤

Well, here’s the important part:

I have never done data forensic

So yeah, I didn’t know that at the time. Anyway: Which tools are you talking about in particular?

A friend asked me to atempt data recovery on some photos which ‘vanished’ off an USB stick.

Plugged it in, checked for potential hidden trash folders, then called it a day. Firstly I havenever done data forensic and secondly: No backup? No mercy.

Tell me about it … 🤷

*second to last!

The last spot is reserved for us, Germany.

Jerboa? The link is malformed for me as well

As a php dev who actually writes clean code while cleaning up after other people because Getting things done is more important: Don’t give people the tools to write shitty code.

Sure, could be/was a lot worse than today. Still, PHP gives one way too much rope to hang themselves with.

My team is currently exploring rust as an alternative because we have to do a lot of api calls and data crunching real fast. So rust?

As a PHP Dev: Please avoid PHP unless you have to use it.

AFAIK it won’t and should you still get a bottleneck you can limit the maximum resources a service may use.

Tbf I am a Linux person and was still scratching my head somewhat.

It is not about the code line by line, but the functionality that OP created for their employer. And yes it is not clear-cut in the sense that in Oracle vs. Google it was AFAIK decided that the idea of the toString Method does not fall under copyright. However, a software that fills a specific need for a company and is then re-implemented/released by an employee? You can bet your ass you are in for at least a lengthy battle in court.

Doesn’t matter if you write it in code or chisel it on a stone tablet. It is still the companies intellectual property.

Think of it this way: You film a movie which for whatever reason doesn’t get published. This doesn’t give you the permission to write a book containing the same story, just in writing. The story is still owned by the film studio. The same reason applies to published material: You are not allowed to write a Star Wars story without approval from Disney, the copyright holder. Fan fiction exists in a gray zone for exact this reason.

Not a lawyer but from my understanding of intellectual property: You wrote it on company time, so it is the companies code. Publishing it without explicit approval would be copyright infringement.

Well, I can’t think of an English example from the top of my head, but in German the words for Pear and (light) bulb are the same. So there are some exotic use cases.

Am I missing the joke? Tomatoes are fruits.
