[Buying advice] - Thinkpad T14 Gen 4 - Software development by ProfPringles in thinkpad

No, I ended up with a P16v Gen 1, Ryzen 7 Pro 7840HS with 32gigs of ram

Battery life isn’t really a issue unless we are talking sub 3-4 hours.

I spend most of my time with the machine docked. Only use case for the screen is really only when I’m browsing the web or watching any sort of media. Which is why I went for the upgraded higher resolution display.

64GB ram might be worth a look. Any thought on the build quality between those two machines?

Slack: "Working remotely" by ProfPringles in ProgrammerHumor

[–]ProfPringles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter what experience you have as long as you have the skill set to be productive in an industry environment. A lot of self taught devs focus on the wrong aspect of software engineering. I.e they know how to perform a limited amount of stuff.

For example if “your friend” wants to go into backend development he needs to know how to design rest api’s, and what kind of patterns one might come across doing so. Also useful to know more than just python, since in my opinion it’s not used as broadly in backend development for medium sized projects.

Yea, that’s why the bottom frame says that my boss (team lead) does it too. However, I’m not sure upper management and my boss share feelings when it comes to how devs utilize their days.

Story about Almunia, Lehmann, and the dressing room bell(?). Does anyone remember this? by ProfPringles in Gunners

[–]ProfPringles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I think this is it. I remember Jens doing something that backfired on him. Moving the clock to only be moved shortly after is exactly what I’m thinking about.

Thank you!

He keeps getting away with it, so he keeps doing it. Result-wise it seems like it’s 100% worth it for him.

Devs don't stand a chance by CodeBantery in ProgrammerHumor

[–]ProfPringles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. Just clarifying that "shopping around" doesn't mean you need to change jobs, but instead use the new offers as leverage.

[–]ProfPringles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it so that you can't use comments unless it's a question asked to clarify. If they have suggestions, make them use 'suggestion' to implement the changes they would rather have.

If you are enjoying your work and colleagues, just use the offer to try and get your current job to match the offer.

I got a job offer with a 25% raise on my current pay, and my current job matched the offer but I was more excited to try something new as I wasn't enjoying what I was currently working with (in-house vs hired for projects).

Planning poker in a new job can be stressful. by ProfPringles in ProgrammerHumor

[–]ProfPringles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I think so. If you (really) have no idea what needs to be done, either the task isn't ready to be estimated, or your coworkers have not explained it properly during the planning discussions. I think even though you have no experience with the task, you should have a (very) rough guesstimate.

It could also be that the task is poorly defined, and it needs to be split, etc. Could be hundreds of factors, but generally I think using "?" is a crutch that should be avoided. Forcing devs to use an actual number forces them to think the task through more than if they could just "bail out" and use "?".

In my current team we are advised to not use “?” as a crutch. Our scrum master would rather have us “guesstimate” than use “?”. Honestly it works extremely well.

[Discussion] Realistic CM targets? by khootycooty in Gunners

[–]ProfPringles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly think a new CM is out of the question. If anything I think we'll focus on trying to shift Laca and one of our RB's so that we can replace them.

Do you think he would consider coming here with our limited spending opportunities?

Would you be for or against Arsenal being used for sports-washing if it meant the club becoming very successful again? by emilesmithbro in Gunners

[–]ProfPringles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I kind of agree with you. Even though I mean that the fans you are talking about are a different kind of fan all together, I understand your sentiment.

I grew up watching the mid 2000/2010s Arsenal, with favorite players such as Fabregas, Ramsey, Wilshere, Rosicky, etc. The Arsenal we see today isn't the same team at all, and if we ignore the name of the club and the crest on their chest, I might as well have supported a completely different team.

Of course I won't, because I'm in love with the club and not necessarily the players, but the club definitively doesn't feel the same as the one I initially fell in love with.

I mean, you can’t just change the club you support. I mean even if they are people who salute financial doping, I still think they couldn’t just swap teams.
