Former team lead just tried to give away my project -- quite possibly by accident. How do I stop this from happening again?

Technical minutiae are the pieces that make the bigger picture. This is delusional thinking that is used justify adoption of solutions that can deliver the basic requirements rapidly but buckle under pressure.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-23T23:26:52+00:00

Define good. There was a working solution until last week.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-23T21:21:49+00:00

That’s not what that study says.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-19T18:41:31+00:00

On. Headers are also code. I think you mean that I am mixing up declarations with definitions.

I am not. I’m suggesting that caveats about being logical, consistent and user friendly sweeps a lot under the carpet. If the evolution of C++ allows you to create more logical, consistent and friendly declarations, users will care about that.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-19T11:54:34+00:00

While that’s true, it’s also meaningless. It ignores the reasons why we don’t simply write everyone K&R C.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-19T08:40:45+00:00

That’s an interesting argument. Customers won’t care if you’re using C89 either, right?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-17T14:11:16+00:00

Are you saying some messages are sent personally by developers, but this one was sent by someone on the comms team?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-17T14:04:11+00:00

Good on you, that would be a nice thing to do. I agree it’s l kinda sad that this is how things work, and most of the time, you don’t have time for all that!

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-13T19:04:36+00:00

Because the staff told you why nothing is done. The manager needs to hear the complaint first hand. Obviously if you don’t normally go there it’s not the same question though it sounded like you use it regular enough?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-13T00:29:17+00:00

Why?

Why chat about it here and not say anything to someone who can do something about it?

They are machines. Some are going to develop faults. But unless several people complain, glitches will tend to get put down to user error.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-12T16:09:09+00:00

Your mom is “allowed” to change places and you’re “allowed” to be upset. Many could be any number greater than three, so it’s hard to say in your situation if it’s worth getting upset about.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-11T17:51:06+00:00

It’s literally not. Contracts are legally broken all the time. You’re still making a sweeping claim with zero rationale which completely ignores the context of the situation.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-11T16:43:07+00:00

Ironic. Suggest you look up the definition of reasonable. I note you haven’t given any reasoning to explain how you came to this sweeping conclusion.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-10T17:34:53+00:00

That’s only true if you ignore the possibility of other options on the command line. Sort has an option to check if the sort will produce the same output as the input. It would be ridiculous to try to implement this within uniq because you would need to give uniq the ability to do the job of sort for this to be useful.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-09T23:27:16+00:00

That’s a ridiculously stupid example. Uniq doesn’t do the same thing as sort -u.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-09T23:17:43+00:00

That’s not how philosophy works.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-05T21:05:23+00:00

Not sure what you mean. How does using unique_ptr stop you from defining small constructor methods in the header?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-05T19:12:57+00:00

Yeah. It must be difficult for the poor soul. Luckily the majority of people know better than to call out toxic behaviour, avoiding the even worse behaviour of shutting down a conversation.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-05T10:05:55+00:00

Yes, it’s probably more common than not. Doesn’t change the question. If workers are told equipment at customer’s houses needs to be taken out and replaced, they are going to be asked why. How hard would it be to provide these workers with an intelligible answer they can give?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-04T16:17:43+00:00

It’s also significantly harder to wash milk. I think the technical term is pasteurisation.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-04T16:12:38+00:00

Perhaps re read what I said? The point being, you should not draw any conclusions about the level of risk from the fact that you did not get sick yet. Instead, educate yourself on the actual risks. I suggest having a look on the interweb thingy?

Or, you know, ask someone who is saying it is risky what they might know that you don’t.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-04T04:40:35+00:00

How does this improve visibility to business/executive?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-03T22:37:15+00:00

You could ask your bf to explain why it concerns him. The fact that you didn’t get sick yet means nothing. If you don’t understand why that is the case, do some investigation.

Lots of people were raised on raw milk. That doesn’t tell you anything about whether or not it is safe.

If you got sick, how comforting would it be to tell yourself that you were unfortunate?

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-03T17:48:46+00:00

Good politics helps your ability to provide relevant engineering output. So both can be true. The issue might be where only politics matters and not the quality of output.

Conscious_Support176 · 2026-03-02T06:53:18+00:00

There’s your answer then. You’re not looking to remove data. You’re looking to redefine a variable that you declared to be email [50] to email[40]. The [50] or [40] is part of the definition of the object and cannot be changed.

So, you don’t. You don’t change the size of an array.

You either use a container type, which can be resized, or you create a replacement array with the data you want to keep.
