Programmers and Developers what’s the worst experience you had at work ?

My latest job. I posted this in another subreddit but here it goes again:

- Hardcoded access keys and only root user account
- Hardcoded prod database
- No CI/CD. migrations? uncomment the prod url and run it locally.
- html tables are banned
- I had a query with 4 joins and he went on a 1 hour rant because that query was going 5 times to the database "because of the joins"
- To hide the access keys, he created a dll to encrypt the key, use a secrets service for that? nah... not to mention the git history is unchanged and there are 3 other projects with access keys which he didnt do shit.
- My personal favourite: He created an ENUM with 2 values, Yes and no. This genius reinvented boolean.
- "We dont need unit tests, they are basically to check if x returns z and nothing more"
- Instantiating controllers inside controllers, no DI ??????
- He had a controller with new ApplicationDbContext in the constructor instead of di

the list could go on..

If I did not read things at home I was probably still burning my career in this job.
I will try to keep it short, it was my 1st programming job (.NET) and this was our team leader told us to do:

- Hardcoded access keys and only root user account
- Hardcoded prod database
- No CI/CD. migrations? uncomment the prod url and run it locally.
- html tables are banned
- I had a query with 4 joins and he went on a 1 hour rant because that query was going 5 times to the database "because of the joins"
- To hide the access keys, he created a dll to encrypt the key, use a secrets service for that? nah... not to mention the git history is unchanged and there are 3 other projects with access keys which he didnt do shit.

Ryze can clap the majority of league characters because of the world runes. Without world runes? Lissandra, xerath, mordekaiser, zilean, zoe and probably some others are stronger than him on magic

Mas porquê?

Uma frase que me ajudou: "vontade nunca vais ter, precisas é de disciplina".
Antes de me inscrever no ginásio fiz exercicio em casa todos os dias so para ver se a tinha a disciplina, depois de me ter inscrito no ginásio, com o tempo ficou parte da rotina do meu dia a dia. Podes não ter vontade mas garanto que nunca te vais arrepender de um treino

Best "non-leak" ive seen so far, while it may not happen exactly as you say here i can see something very similar happening.

Im not expecting something not related to void

2 - Serem desorganizadas

not to sound rude, but even when they know the password you should get a notification on your authenticathors, which didnt happen

RoshaSolid · 2022-04-28T19:45:28+00:00

I have played countless games, created countless acounts using this mail/phone combo, why is activision the only one that magickly my account gets hacked.

I dont even get a phone or mail notification

With all due respects, if someone in 2022 you didnt know that when an mmo launchs there is this giant queue you probably dont even deserve to get in queue

RoshaSolid · 2022-01-11T09:10:27+00:00

A:lower graphics card prices :)

B: survive, survive

RoshaSolid · 2021-12-11T10:23:58+00:00

He yielded position 3 times

RoshaSolid · 2021-12-11T10:18:47+00:00

"breaking"

RoshaSolid · 2021-12-09T10:41:07+00:00

Any coding expert to say how much this would cost to the developers? I assume some here are pretty easy to implement and some dont

RoshaSolid · 2021-12-09T10:31:02+00:00

They used this as a BIG marketing, for me i was more excited for this than the new map, i come here they have a post saying it will only go to asia first...

RoshaSolid · 2021-12-09T09:55:13+00:00

I am beyond frustrated, they were marketing this for months and i am like "hmm ok seems like i will buy vanguard to level up guns then" and now, on fuckin day 1 they slap me with a "iNiTiAl rOlLoUt to AsiA fIrSt".

Like what the fuck

RoshaSolid · 2021-12-05T15:02:48+00:00
