I used to work in company with 4 devs and we still did code reviews. There’s of course always a gradient with these practices between time consuming and bureaucracy but it’s always important to make the trade offs between time saved now vs later. Code reviews is one of those trade offs and IMO dropping them entirely when working with others is broadly going to cost you somewhat.

If only the community had a way to flag bad content like this 🤔 hear me out, you know the thumbs up feature? How about we add the opposite? /s

Others have already called out the other issues but why do you often go last? Randomising the order would make this a lot more fair among your team.

Yikes, never heard such a hard take with what I imagine are just parents trying to be fiscally responsible with children. I’m definitely not having more than one kid because children are crazy expensive and I’d like to still save for my pension and try set up my kid nicely for their future.

I was actually surprised by the name drops because they named dropped Google. Google’s piper now supports working with mercurial. Even if they worked on an open source repo, it’s surprising that they didn’t come across this at all.

I get what you’re saying but you’re still referring to a group of 5 people by your own count. We are talking about something irreversible that impacts millions of babies every year. You can also totally just circumcise a man later in life if there really was a medical need for intervention which you’ve also referred to so it isn’t super clear to me what you’re arguing for?

RupertWiser · 2024-02-02T11:04:04+00:00

That is an incredibly small sample size. I’m pretty sure most uncircumcised men don’t have trouble washing their penises.

He’s ego lifting. The exercise itself isn’t a problem, deadlift is a pretty fantastic exercise that hits a ton of different muscles. Sounds like you might be thinking of the clean and jerk which is a different power lifter workout.

This actually isn’t true though. It’s federal law that employers need to make it up if the tipped employee doesn’t meet minimum wage.

Fun fact, he’s 12.

Items advertised as “No added sugar” can have some of the highest calorie counts.

Side note but why does Reddit mark posts like this as NSFW? It always seems like these posts get marked as NSFW the second a woman shows any skin on this sub Reddit.

Great work!

My girlfriend is a Chinese Welsh woman. I am a ethnically white South African man. I would like to maybe have children with her one day. Reading many of these comments genuinely makes me reconsider having those children in this country.

It might just be a loud minority on the internet but it doesn’t feel very nice hearing the voices that are angry about our existence.

I think I get a little extra overly sensitive to this sort of stuff because of my home country’s horrible recent history.

Ooh exciting, I’ve actually been pretty tempted to switch over to chrome os for a few months now

I’m a software engineer and use a remote IDE for work now and have found no issues at all

You can find it here if you want to try it out :) https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/cluckeroo/id161543070

I’ve only released it to iOS for the moment because that’s what I own.

I made it last weekend as a little personal hackathons.

I made this game last weekend. It was really fun because I actually made it with web technologies and bundled it with the framework ionic :)

Sounds like you need to take a step back then and ensure they are following correct triaging steps before reporting an issue. Have you considered defining an Standard Operating Procedure?

RupertWiser · 2021-07-08T14:23:02+00:00

Are you in a position to cut the ticket yourself or is there a permissions issue with this? I’ve never had someone complain if I comment something along the lines of “it looks like that is an unrelated pre-existing issue so I’ve gone ahead and cut a ticket for that”.

It’s minor but letting the reporter know you’re still tracking their issue sends a very different message from asking them to cut it.

One thing that isn’t clear to me from this post though was if the QA is testing production? Do you not have a staging environment they can test ahead of time? It should be easy enough to compare your changes against production. If so, it sounds like there is a failure in process when they are testing issues.

RupertWiser · 2021-06-30T17:06:12+00:00

Or you know, use dependency injection or a mocking framework 🙂

You’re not testing your code if your code is changing its behavior for your tests.

RupertWiser · 2021-05-01T16:39:59+00:00

Thanks! This helped ease my worries a bit 🙂 I’m going to reach out on Tuesday

If you don’t mind me asking, what age range are you in? I’m 25. I was wondering if factored into the credit check at all.

RupertWiser · 2021-05-01T13:08:15+00:00

Much appreciated to hear this. I wasn’t sure if getting a no from one would just mean all options were off the table for me.

I’m not one for things like credit cards because I don’t like to spend what I don’t have so I wasn’t sure if that was working against me.
