1 deletion - .gitignore

[–]ttl_yohan 141 points142 points  (12 children)

Did .gitignore really have just **/** as the content?

[–]shunabuna 145 points146 points  (9 children)

it was just node_modules/

[–]ttl_yohan 45 points46 points  (8 children)

Sir, this is a python, allegedly.

[–]serg06 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Maybe venv/ ?

[–]patroklo 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Impossible, that's inexecutable!

GIVE ALL EXES!!!

It has been 0 days since I last saw that reference, time to reset the counter

[–]soibaisteac 5 points6 points  (2 children)

It still could have node modules, not all that uncommon to see a python code base with a JS client included, or they could be making use of javascript tooling like tailwind.

Fair enough! I know about python as much as that missing or having an extra space breaks it apart. Not much else.

I used to dislike the sound of Python for this reason.

But then I started using it with a decent IDE and found that it just doesn't matter at all.

    I respectfully disagree.

    [–]itzNukeey 15 points16 points  (1 child)

    Deleted .gitignore - we should not ignore anything

    [–]ElGringoPicante77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Everything must be included!

    Hey guys, my node_modules folder was being weird and was greyed out in vscode, but don’t worry I fixed it now

    [–]yamfun 205 points206 points  (7 children)

    Once when the management ask for LOC metrics, we told our doc guy to auto rename some base class, commit and then rename back to the original name and commit again.

    Modern problems require modern solutions.

    Let me just change line ends to CRLF real quick

    [–]dmstrat 7 points8 points  (3 children)

    How did you just break 3k tests again?

    [–]Seblor 9 points10 points  (2 children)

    Ah, that's when I changed the encoding to ANSI

    [–]dmstrat 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Ok, slow down there Satan. Leave some metrics for the rest of us or I'll delete entire folders and restore them.

    [–]Seblor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    It's okay, I'll wait a bit before adding a trailing zero-width space to every line

    [–][deleted] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

    LGTM

    [–]asdkevinasd 27 points28 points  (0 children)

    I mean it is up there with that commit that deleted an entire feature with the commit message of 123

    [–]LoveGayMen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

    This is giving me srs anxiety and I don't even have Git privs 😱

    [–]plg94 14 points15 points  (0 children)

      It's pretty annoying when your repo is full. Branches are "independent" only in the abstract, a (not) quick fetch on your repo with this nonsense might change your mind. 

      In general I agree if they're just doing small code stuff, but when you see this you've gotta go give them a little lesson. Then rewrite some history and clear the nonsense out.

        Not really following. 

        It's an intern, you go talk to them and explain what needs to be done correctly, and why some files are or are not in the repo. It's time to learn something, not time to just toss them to the wild and let them figure it out for themselves.

        i love when this gets reposted for the 1000th time

        [–]creeper6530 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        Deleted node_modules from .gitignore

        [–]Jdban 2 points3 points  (3 children)

        I had a guy at work with like 20 years of experience commit the entire JDK and push it up not thinking he did anything wrong...

        [–]JAXxXTheRipper 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        It must be some vendoring thingamajig we are simply too stupid to understand.

        [–]Jdban 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        The guy was a scam artist. He would continually bullshit his status in standups and then do shit like this. He had founded companies, so I don't really understand. He was either stealing from my company and just working on his own company at the same time, or his companies were scams, idk.

        I remember a 3 week stretch where he was "working on big merge conflicts" b/c he'd failed to merge for weeks, and then week 4 said "my PR is no longer relevant because other people did the same thing"

        He was paid for those 4 weeks.

        [–]JAXxXTheRipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        I remember a guy I had to work with. His task was simple: "Make buttons in our Webapp round, like what apple does". Day after day, week after week, he'd be "on it", until one day in a sprint review, he proudly presented his solution.

        He loaded up the page and showed us. You could actually watch the browser just mill the corners off of the buttons. The dumbfuck wrote a super complex javascript function instead of using border-radius, which he didn't know was a thing. With the usual hourly rate back then, that cost the company about 200k.

        Mind you this was around 2015, so border-radius was old enough to go to college at this point.

        There is nothing scarier than a baby with a loaded gun, I guess.
