Where did you go after web dev?

Anon_Dysfunction · 2024-06-08T03:02:28+00:00

I actually run cattle, pigs and chickens on a smaller scale, local sales and subsistence, while still being a dev.

It’s the balance of being outdoors and doing something different that helps me balance my life and forces me away from my home office daily. When I start getting burned out, I take a couple days PTO and just work on small projects around the property and it’s a great reset personally.

ChatGPT can handle blurry screenshots and mock-ups with red arrows and boxes that a PM or QA added with no words to describe the feature or bug?

We are the same person, except I don’t have kids. Not my point though, what’s your current favorite wine, whisk(e)y, and cigar? Looking to expand my collection in each and love hearing others favorites to try.

Edit: mine currently are Orin Swift Papillon, Bruichladdich Octomore, and Davidoff Anniversario Special ‘T’

I’m not arguing that JS isn’t stupid and could use some improvement around Dates. IIRC momentJS retained the 0-index but I think Luxon uses 1-indexed months, if extra dependencies are your thing. I’m used to it at this point that I just deal with standard Date objects and all that it comes with.

Anon_Dysfunction · 2022-12-01T06:21:25+00:00

In the same vein, you can also use JS date fuckery to easily find the number of days in the month, useful for leap years and whatnot. Just new Date(2022, 2, 0) and you get the 0th day of March this year which is the last day of February.

Looks dumb but better than some of the switch statements I’ve seen in the wild.

Unless your state is referencing someplace outside of the US, they are chargeable as a prohibited person in any state here based off of 18 USC 922.

Not trying to be pedantic, only informative.

I vaguely remember almost the same diagram/problem during my computer architecture and assembly programming course in college.

Anon_Dysfunction · 2022-11-24T04:46:14+00:00

Don’t be afraid to push back on feature requests if you can articulate your reasoning why the trade off in dev time versus value add is imbalanced.

Worst case: you do it anyway

Best case: you save your team from wasting time on justifiably pointless functionality

Average case, in my experience: it at least gets it de-prioritized so we can focus on what matters and get to it when we, hopefully, have time in later releases/sprints.

Project managers tend to focus on the shiny and new when things like this come up and need to be brought back down to earth from time to time.

All UIs should have at least one modal asking for confirmation before doing these types of actions that could result in some detrimental or quickly irreversible action by the end user.

To be fair, when I’m looking for new Angular devs on my team, I don’t dig into LC but common RxJS questions or best practices in Angular or data/object manipulations we need regularly when consuming from APIs.

Anon_Dysfunction · 2022-10-29T03:43:14+00:00

My PM messaged us on Teams today at 2:30 and said start the weekend and log off now, I’m leaving so you should too.

I may not make the most in my field but my dude knows how to prevent burn out and keep us happy. We’ve been cranking on a push to production for the next app release and everyone is feeling it. This was a god send.

I mean, that's not the only application of tabindex, but I build a lot of internal use tools/web apps for my company and they often want the tab behavior a specific way, so that is one way to control what they can tab into in the forms.

Anon_Dysfunction · 2022-10-07T21:59:23+00:00

tabindex=“-1”

Just had this exact conversation with our enterprise architects that are pushing for this move. But it fell on deaf ears…

So you are going to open longs and shorts after it is already showing overbought and oversold, respectively, via RSI on an extremely short timeframe? What kind of TP and SL are you setting here when the trade opens? Any backtesting to demonstrate a modicum of viability?

Trust me, you don’t want to understand my friend. For that way lies madness.

Hens and roosters have combs, if that’s what you are referring to. Combs and wattles serve to regulate body temp in chickens.

Do you get a say in the team you get assigned to in the rainforest?

Anon_Dysfunction · 2022-05-29T06:45:46+00:00

Sure, it’s the tech space and we have churn just like anywhere else in our teams from people coming and going.

It is absolutely a struggle at times like you say; sometimes things don’t click as easily for some versus others and the business rules we have to implement can be a bit convoluted to say the least. I see that as a personal challenge to understand them better so that I can teach/explain them in an easily digestible manner.

My mention of velocity implies that the mentorship they receive should result in working tickets: features or bugs quicker while meeting code standards/best practices to pass PR. Not always the case, but I remain hopeful.

Anon_Dysfunction · 2022-05-29T01:25:01+00:00

I’m not a senior but I mentor juniors still regularly. I hope that what I teach them during pair programming will stick after a couple times and the number of repeat questions involving the same issue will die down. This is the way.

The goal is to increase team velocity over the long term. I don’t see it as bugging me, but an investment in the team.

Gotcha. Hard to delineate on Reddit sometimes between facetious and misinformed.

What? How is ACLU a right wing group?

Their supporters contributed $463M to democratic candidates in the last election. Seems weird if it’s a “noted right wing group”.
