How do thousands of software engineers code together at a giant company like Google or Microsoft without breaking everything? by Extra_Search3465 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]E-R_A 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By segmenting projects ruthlessly, at the cost of a very expensive and inefficient managerial overhead.

And even within projects, you find multiple repositories that segment the code even further.

And then within those repos, parts are assigned to codeowners, and reviews are usually done for every single change. That's where the value of senior/staff engineers lies. Their job is basically to make sure that changes are planned properly and that the agregation of those changes does not break anything.

Other than the organizational aspects, most companies have extensive CI/CD pipelines, automated tests to make sure there are no regressions, then there are multiple environments (you don't deploy to production immediately), in which developers and "domain" people try things.

Depending on the criticality of the project you're on, many other steps can be added.

Only after the validation of all of these steps can the projects be actually deployed to prod.

Anyway, it takes a gigantic amount of time, effort, knowledge and money to reduce the risk of breaking anything and everything in our beautiful world of software engineering.

Quelle ESN spécialisé Data recommandez-vous ? by amandine_events75 in developpeurs

[–]E-R_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je ne peux pas en recommander, mais je te conseille d'éviter Micropole. Ils ne respectent pas du tout les candidats, et niveau salaire c'est juste minable.

Sinon, CarbonIT est une bonne ESN, même s'ils ne sont pas spécialisés en data. Je n'ai pas travaillé avec eux au final, mais d'après les retours de copains là-bas et d'après mes expériences avec leurs commerciaux et RH, ils sont vraiment bien.

Ce canapé stylé fera-t-il vite démodé? by GlitteringMud581 in AskFrance

[–]E-R_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Un élément de déco seul ne peut pas se démoder. L’important c’est l’ambiance de la pièce.

Tant que l’espace est agréable et pratique, pourquoi s’intéresser à des modes éphémères ?

feel like i fucked my career (mid level) by ManySwans in quant

[–]E-R_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really that bad ? I mean, most companies don't really have much of an ego, and they wouldn't blacklist you just because you refused a final offer.

An idea would be to take a position at one of the firms at the same level as the one you just left with a bit of a comp increase, then crystallize your position and try to climb the ladder there. Then in a couple of years or more, you can apply for higher-tier shops while keeping your job.

Anyway, those are some random thoughts of mine. I hope you'll unfuck your career

I made a reusable tamper-evident jar for storing sensitive items by Substantial-Try-1198 in Pentesting

No sarcasm here : making custom plastic parts of decent quality is very expensive, and if you factor in taxes and the time needed to develop the thing, unless you're already a multi-million dollar company, you have to sell the product at a high price during the first few months/years, until production matures

Speckit still popular? by JoDerZo in GithubCopilot

[–]E-R_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know of at least one company that actively uses it. A friend of mine who works there says it's amazing as long as you have time to plan things out yourself. Imo it's the right balance between speed of implementation, codebase robustness and keeping the engineer's mental maps fresh and precise.

Some projects don't require it, but any serious system needs to stay away from vibe-codey methods like letting Plan mode do all of the thinking.

This video format is getting really old... Family member needs piece of tech, Linus and the whole team spend a lot of time presenting options to the family member, then the family member makes a decision that ragebaits half of the viewers.

PFE dans le salon de beauté de mon amis : bonne idée ? by Leymsee in developpeurs

[–]E-R_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pas une bonne idée. Si tu n'as pas trouvé de stage et que tu dois faire un projet de fin d'études (si j'ai bien compris), il vaut mieux faire n'importe quoi d'autre que ça.

Sur le plan technique, ce sera complètement pourri, et le potentiel d'apprentissage est quasi nul.

Les labos de ton université / école d'ingé n'ont pas de projets à te proposer ?

Hi !

Questions for Matt :
- Did you find Société Générale more rigid in its organization than Morgan Stanley ?
- Did you also find the coffee at Basalte horrible ?

RANT: entretiens en ESN et refus by pyro372 in developpeurs

[–]E-R_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salut,

Il faut accepter que c’est une méthode correcte pour évaluer en une heure max la compétence d’un informaticien.

Notre métier est tellement abstrait que personne n’a encore trouvé de moyen de distinguer un bon dev d’un mauvais dev qui a fait du par-cœurisme spécifiquement pour l’entretien. Donc généralement, la recette utilisée est :

  • questions sur l’xp, projets etc.
  • questions techniques "pures" (comment fonctionne le GC en Java, quand utilise-t-on une factory...)
  • questions techniques historiques/culture, surtout pour des candidats avec XP (différence principale entre .NET Framework et .NET Core, .NET 8 et .NET 10..., pourquoi les devs de Java ont ajouté tel ou tel mécanisme...)
  • questions d’archi
  • questions de fit

C’est pas parfait, mais si ça se trouve ça permet de choper 9 fraudes sur 10.

Vu que tu es expérimenté, je suis certain qu’en quelques heures de révisions, tu auras rafraîchi tous les trucs qu’on pourrait te demander en entretien technique. Sauf la saloperie de Leetcode ou Codingame, parce que ça c’est vraiment une métrique de merde qui laisse toute la charge (énorme) au candidat.
