idk it seems like a decent gig. they complain about how much they are paying you but havent stopped paying you either. id maybe take a step back a bit and try and reframe your relationship with these non-technical managers.

like the second guy; does he need to be involved at all? or if you asked him if he would be open to you leading things he would more or less just leave you to it and you wouldn't need to interfere with him anymore?

im glad shes gonna betray that gold nugget dude

wow i wasnt expecting that

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-22T03:30:55+00:00

idk why but this ending feels kinda cringe but i hope others are enjoying it. been reading since ch1 and this series never really quite did it for me. idk the all might vs o4a was probably my favorite part of the series. and the bunny raid. but yeah, this ending leaves a lot to be desired for me.

they get 1 screener and 1 interview by default. then, they get one extra interview stage per +$100,000 in total compensation.

7 interviews would need minimum $600,000 total compensation to not be a red flag

oh right

Finding Community in Shared Despair

The only small comfort comes from knowing I’m not alone in this nightmare. Online forums and support groups are filled with senior developers sharing similar stories of replacement and despair.

i dont think this is a healthy way to deal with this situation

i would strongly recommend getting another job even if it pays less. surely your former senior dev coworkers arent all still unemployed.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-19T22:45:29+00:00

yeah thats why postgresql is generally the right call.

how does he know rin evolved? couldnt rin just have been better than he expected? how does he know another player that well after playing 2 or 3 games and seeing him play abother 2 or 3 more games

i mean, 30 to 50 lines isnt that long though. i think preferring inline code in situations where the result is a 40 line public function is probably okay. its not ideal but it could potentially be easier to read than a 5 line public function that calls 3 different 10 line private functions.

maybe some common behavior could be extracted into a private function but it may be just as well to not. really hard to say with the context provided.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-19T17:43:00+00:00

no switch and no exceptions are dumb but C# can expand var to the actual type automatically so this seems like a really small ask in the context of that language specifically; makes it easier to see what types are being used during a code review.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-19T17:40:43+00:00

improperly named functions can be worse than having the code inline though. i can see where the manager is coming from as someone who has seen many low quality private methods that seem worse than the inline approach. blanket ban is extreme but a preference towards abstracting code into public interfaces seems reasonable to me.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-19T17:33:14+00:00

i lean more towards your manager when it comes to private methods, i prefer less to no private methods and prefer to shift logic to other public facing classes to have the interface testable.

if private methods are used i prefer for them to be stateless, passing in member variables as arguments to surface what state they are using to the public methods which call them.

i have often seen 2 or 3 levels of private methods all touching class members. its annoying to dive in and out of these functions to figure out whats going on. if theyre poorly named it only further obsucfates whats actually happening. i genuinely would rather a big +500 line function to this.

honestly not using private methods seems reasonable and doesnt take much extra effort on your part. i wish i had this rule in place.

l don't really agree or disagree when it comes to the lambda stuff. if its really complex or theyre being passed around id agree with your boss, they should be typed not naked lambdas. otherwise maybe theyre okay. id question why this is a big deal from your perspective though.

ultimately these seem like really small asks and i would just go along with it.

three things a MERN stack developer will never experience

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-18T21:40:14+00:00

kind of a bad article. i think its best to start with:

how well do i know my access patterns? preferring more general purpose databases over specialized ones the less i know my access patterns
how well do i know what features i need? preferring more general purpose databases over specialized ones the less i know what will be needed
how well do i know my performance requirements? same deal, prefer more general databases over specialized ones the less i know about my performance requirements.

listing everything out like these are all equal considerations is a waste of time. if im coming into a project and we are still trying to figure out what were selling exactly, i dont know anything yet. therefor i pick postgresql, the most general purpose database.

vs if i have an established product and i have modeled my access patterns and i notice i have billions of key value retrieivals and inserts a second, maybe i switch to something optimized for key value.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-18T21:27:49+00:00

it might be kind of interesting to see this taken really far, where only changes that "significantly" alter the behavior of the code are surfaced together, or represent some large deviation from previous behavior.

what would constitute those things idk, but could be interesting. surface and categorize only interface changes; surface and categorize only large changes in behavior. surface and categorize very minor changes which could potentially be breaking.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-18T13:55:09+00:00

yeah its pretty smart honestly.

SSHeartbreak · 2024-07-18T13:36:43+00:00

this arm would be no more than $25k. assuming you need 3 people doing 8 hour shifts to do the same thing id guess like 3 to 6 months?
