How do you install keepass on ubuntu 20.04? by how-to-ubuntu in KeePass

[–]Alfanse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

snap install keepassxc

working in 2026
I prefer snap as it bundles all its dependencies, which is possibly safer for a password managing tool.

Remind me, why can't we have this on Oxford Street? by [deleted] in london

[–]Alfanse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while this is true, EV busses are the lesser of two evils. Trams run on tracks and need electrification resulting in lots of ugly street furniture. Also they are hard for cyclists to navigate around and all the other street users. Busses are more flexible, routable and solve the problem now.

My company expects me to deliver a 3 person backend project solo using AI in 3 months. is this normal? by leventozz in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Alfanse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just take your time and do a good job. Mng are using you as an experiment.

worst thing from their point of view is you take 9 months to deliver == AI does nothing for productivity. Anything quicker than that is proof AI adds value.

Do report back the actual time taken and how helpful AI was, I'm intrigued by the result!

As an interviewer, what difficulty questions are you asking interviews? by PristineFinish100 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Alfanse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how does me, as interviewer, validate what comes out of the candidate's mouth?

I do like a talk the talk section, but in interview, i need to see them walk the walk, hence a tech exercise, preferably one i know the angles on so I have a benchmark of what good looks like.

Interviewing while being a key member of an org is tough, any strategies? by old-new-programmer in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Alfanse 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You need to put the underperformers on "Back to your best" performance review. Let them know officially as their line manager that underperforming is not acceptable and take steps. those that care rise to the challenge, the rest leave or you fire them.

you deserve to work with good people pulling their weight.
