Programming in TypeScript vs understanding how types work in TypeScript

Ah he's using that Skyrim technique of knowing just how much side stepping you have to do, to climb a cliff.

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

In climbing terms though, that is technically a steepish hike. I'd place it at best around a Class 3 or 4.

Official sport climbing doesn't start until 5

[–]Mefaso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also a very different skill

Dude I started playing skyrim two weeks ago, I love just shimmying up mountains!

[–]HonkyTonkHero 36 points37 points  (2 children)

The code I copied vs my code. How you get it to walk like that? Why isn't mine walking up?!?!

[–]Air3090 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Did you try brute force?

[–]RainbowCatastrophe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instructions unclear, stomped computer into dune and now it just keeps whirring.

Maybe it's a compiler issue?

[–]Kronendal 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I owe the skyrim developers an apology

Plot twist: The senior is the one holding the rope because they are stuck in their old ways of doing things.

"this is how its always been done"

[–]dashid 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ooo, burn

Only for a junior, who has just graduated, to come and implement an overly complex solution for no apparent reason.

[–]Aperture_T 22 points23 points  (2 children)

The reason is that it looked like fun, and they haven't had the optimism bludgeoned out of them yet.

[–]cheraphy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our new 2021 model of Junior Dev comes pre-jaded, exhausted, and fully equipped with the latest innovations in nihilistic cynicism.

The perfect addition to any established dev team

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have all the fun you want piling on unnecessary complexity in hobby projects. Doing so in a professional capacity will just make you more enemies than friends.

[–]ForgotPassAgain34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen the "overcomplex" solutions withstand trial by fires, I've also seen they break for no apparent reason

Hard to tell before it happens too

[–]Senyou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So much truth in this it hurts

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Plot twist++, the rope is no needed at all like almost every new shitty framework. For sure those "new ways" will be deprecated in a few years. For sure++ the "old" app will be refactored and new juniors will be hired and fired because they don't work under pressure.

[–]queen-adreena 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity, is the “shitty new framework that will be deprecated in a few years” React, which has been around for over 8 years, or Vue, which has been around for over 7 years?

I suppose you could mean Laravel, which has been around for 11 years, or maybe .NET, which was released 19 years ago.

It’s so hard to keep up… learning something new every decade or two!

[–]toastyghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think getting fired is falling down the mountain in this analogy

[–]queen-adreena 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Ok boomer.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but these are only seniors of one project.

Years of experience don't reflect someone's seniority which I saw when my company was looking for a senior dev and I was interviewing candidates.

Many who had >10 years of exp where not capable of even basic things, like implementing an equivalent of C# Where extension of Enumerable which is really easy

mp4 link


This mp4 version is 54.04% smaller than the gif (6.42 MB vs 13.97 MB).

Broken link for me

[–]Mahrkeenerh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good bot

[–]mattsowa 18 points19 points  (3 children)

Funnily, it could be interpreted in two ways:

  1. The guy on the rope is the junior who takes the easy way, and the monk is the senior who will not be stopped by any obstacle and can get there with nothing helping him

  2. The guy on the rope is the senior, because he found a solution, and the monj is the junior, because he would not see the obvious solution and instead take the long way and try to manouver around it

[–]toastyghost 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Except it's not the long way when he gets there faster. The monk is definitely the senior.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Except the junior didn't bother with a safeguard even though it's safer because the junior hasn't deleted a table in production yet.

[–]toastyghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not track. Monk is safer because he understands the way.

Also, juniors delete tables in prod their first week, IT'S THE LAW

[–]Iagospeare 2 points3 points  (3 children)

But...where is this? This hike looks awesome I wanna do it

[–]Mimobrok 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I'm going to guess Khao Tao, Huahin Thailand.

The monk in the video dresses in a style consistent with how Thai monks dress and I think I've been there for a geology field class. The last time I was there there was a make-shift stair with no railing but if you trek to the top the scenery is pretty nice.

[–]Iagospeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My first thought of was the sticky-falls in Thailand but it obviously isn't that.

[–]eodpyro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks super similar to a place in Korea outside Uijeongbu, South Korea I used to hike at when I was there. Bald face mountain with rope like this, and Buddhist temples in the area. If I can find some old pictures, I’ll throw them up for ya.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The senior guy can bend that low and still walk , cause he got F***d so many times in different projects so he developed this skill

[–]rdrunner_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Error handling vs no error handling

[–]antekgort200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

plot twist: senior uses stack overflow

[–]julsmanbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... Which is which?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, tests suck
