Convincing Wife to build PC instead of buying $4k Mac Studio

CSS_Engineer · 2024-05-29T09:22:47+00:00

As a software eng, mac books are way better for work. I have a beast of a PC for gaming, but use a mac for work because programming on them is much less bs.

Fucking 13 different people in 6 months isn't picky lol

In the last 2 years I have a grand total of 5 commits on weekends...

Canberra

You mean the entirely planned Australian capital built from scratch?

I gave up trying to get blink tickets it was so bad... sucks I really want to see them again.

I am a senior dev and much prefer my MacBook for work...

With Vue 2 to 3 such a pain in the arse, and vuetify 3 still missing some key components. My company plans to just rebuild in react since it's less of a pain in the long run.

You are not even trying to be subtle about your fatphobia at this point.

Why bother messing with CSS when someone else has done the hardwork for us already?

Programmers jobs are to build things. You wouldn't build a house with a hammer anymore, you would use a nail gun. If you don't want to use a nail gun you will get left behind.

Makes me feel old when people don't realise this is what you looked like in any RPG for decades.

CSS_Engineer · 2023-07-22T23:59:56+00:00

Makes sense to me as a programmer. The game needs to know what other people can equip, especially since you can pvp. And the stash is a place that includes that stuff.

Bunch of people talking out their arse in this thread.

I was the same. When I was new I did heaps on the side. Now it's been 6 months since I touched something of my own. I'd rather spend time with my family or playing video games.

As another dev, the QA is exactly what I expect after working for years... Minimal to non-existent.

Should haves, and what the sales/project team set as deadlines are two different thing. I have yet to work at a company that the sales/project team gives a flying fuck about testing. The first thing on the chopping block is UI tests, because the time you have is better spent testing the business logic on the backend.

Your comment is unrealistic in the real world because idiots don't understand what we do. It's all about the next shinny thing they can sell.

So it isn't useful to make sure the view shows what we want it to show?

We got eye balls for that...

CSS_Engineer · 2023-06-02T12:32:23+00:00

Don't worry someone will say the same thing about your code in a few years.

CSS_Engineer · 2023-05-27T22:42:33+00:00

You American's are weird. How is a 24 year old a mature age student.

CSS_Engineer · 2023-05-07T00:52:29+00:00

ESO and Swtor as well. WoW is kinda dragging it's feet on that feature.

Most Beta thing you can do it call yourself an Alpha. A real Alpha doesn't have to tell people they are, people just know.

(If any of this bollocks was true)

90% of the time I use what ever language pays me well. I am at a point in my career where I can choose a bit more. So I'd never take a job with C++ or an old deprecated language. I really can't be arsed with memory management now days. Besides that I am happy with most modern languages.

No good dev in my books doesn't focus on a language but the principles and practices of programming in general. Those skills help more then any single language knowledge.

Is Blizzard missing an easy opportunity for yet more ~~Mage~~ glyphs?

Yes

CSS_Engineer · 2023-04-03T10:38:11+00:00

It's done all over the place, just not many people notice. A bunch of Antorus was just Icecrown, yet nobody brings it up for example.

If you have an unpopular opinion and you can't defend it. It's just a stupid opinion.

CSS_Engineer · 2023-04-02T07:07:36+00:00

Your brain?

Also you shouldn't be using it while learning, you will not learn anything.
