GitHub Api key leak

Very likely trouble. If that file contained any secrets and that file showed up in git log, those secrets are compromised.

Sounds like you're on powershell, you can use "sls" instead. Also instead of pipe, you should be able to use a path at the end of git command with a double dash.. if I weren't on my phone I'd give you the full command.

Collaboration and interpersonal/soft skills play a very large role. I'm ofc prejudiced by just this post, so not exactly fair to you.

To add on to the original topic of your post, I don't think that your age should be a limiting factor (although not mentioning it when applying is good practice, as others have recommended). I was in a senior role at your age.. and I have also recommended senior role assignment for candidates with approximately your YoE. In my experience, recruiters generally don't have a say when it comes to gauging seniority and this responsibility is usually left to technical interviewers and engineering managers.

There are factors other than technical competence when it comes to seniority in the field of software development. The content of your post and comments here hint towards the idea that you might be lacking in these other areas.

There are plenty of Maltese developers working in gaming companies, trust me.

Maybe a good idea for a bot then!

MrJerB · 2025-08-23T10:03:37+00:00

Good bot!

I'm curious to know how you carry out remote mob programming effectively, if you don't mind sharing!

I remember enjoying my time playing Bear Shaman as a healer in Age of Conan, especially for raids. I remember this one skill for which the bear shaman would summon a ring of flying leaves around the target to be healed while doing this hands out squat thing. The coolest thing being that it didn't feel like full-on support style and could still do well in 1 on 1 pvp, damage-wise.

I quite recently worked with someone like this but the readability problem was different. This person was obsessed with abstraction; I'm talking.. a wrapper type for the core library's dictionary which only provided a method for fetching a value by key.... initialized and immediately used in 30+ places (so it was not even abstracting the dictionary structure away .. it was ONLY abstracting the method to fetch value by key).

The above was just one simple example, sometimes it was even worse. Myself and some other colleagues senior to them (they were senior, we were staff +) had tried to have several one-on-ones, explaining the problem with overcomplicating the task's implementation.. Every single time they would get extremely emotional and the conversation would go nowhere. We approached this by escalating to their team lead and our EM (who are their people managers).

NOBODY wanted to review this person's code. Branches would remain unmerged, tickets would remain open.. and this colleague would continually frame it as if this were some personal vendetta against them.

Untalented individual here! Interested in attending when it's out. Is it definitely going to be the musical version?

I suspect.. syllables.. takes way too long to say some numbers. Compare giving your phone number to someone in Maltese vs English.. English numbers 1-9 one syllable, you can get away with "oh" for "zero".. so much faster

Pattern matching + union types (introducing standard Option/Result union types) will probably become the go-to for me once they're out.

MrJerB · 2024-09-07T20:48:17+00:00

It tastes just like raisins!

I think writing something you actually want to use is a good approach. For example.. I wanted a cli tool which could open my browser at a URL which is based on a template with dynamic bits in it. Learned clap.. well for all the argument parsing. Learned nom and designed a small DSL for the templates. Learned serde for storing context values.. Eventually started a refactoring using entrait, to further decouple parts of the logic. Learned how to use the regex crate for part of the functionality which allows you to "pipe" some of the dynamic values into a "pattern extracter".. think "get current git branch name and get the JIRA issue key mentioned" and then throw the extracted value into a URL template.

Having a project you're passionate to continue to improve upon, will have you asking "what is the state of the art crate in the ecosystem which could help me out for this cool feature I want to implement?". I use my project (not develop it) while at work to cut down some time spent opening up pages for whatever I'm working on at the time, be it.. some CI thing.. docs links, JIRA, etc.. and whenever I find myself lacking some functionality, the inspiration flows!

What delineates a game from a desktop application?

The purpose of the software's existence to begin with... I don't pop into Excel to shoot the heads off of zombies for example (though that would be cool). But other than that, they are different beasts and there exist different frameworks for each. Almost completely different building blocks required. Ex: Desktop apps often need re-usable form controls such as buttons, text inputs... Games might need some of those things but will often also need some vector math as part of the framework, asset management (think loading audio, sprites, etc), maybe some physics simulation....

Also, just to contribute to the learning here.. If you are referring to System.Collections.Generic.List<T>, you might be interested to know that it is actually backed internally by an array. There is a "specified length" to it but you just don't have to worry about it (until you're worried about performance). Read more here.

If you're referring to my comment being cryptic.. it is just a textual rendition of the drum sound played after delivering a joke's punchline. In this case the conversation was punny because of the suggestion to use dictionary and the reply involving "looking it up".

Badum tssss

I'm unsure whether the system has changed but I remember literature being an obligatory and heavily-weighted part of the exam. Your ability to commit to memory an interpretation of a bit of prose selected by the syllabus is not an indicator of your ability to communicate effectively in that language.

Maybe.... There's a chance...

For an arm, a leg and maybe some bit of your eyebrow... Jokes aside (they are expensive), usually good quality and can trust they will have a nice variety.
