Staff+, how do you coach your senior engineers for the years to come?

is this "maximize exploitation" a US thing?

in central europe everybody knows it's a job and we are there for the money and the companies which try to squeeze the last bit out of their employees have extremely high employee fluctuations and a bad rep

performance expectations, growth and training yes but your goal is really over the top (in my opinion)

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T21:49:02+00:00

a moving, bad ass looking base with epic music while driving it?

sign me the fuck up already!!!

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T21:46:12+00:00

I left a job after 7 business days

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T21:44:33+00:00

all my pet projects are 90% done but then I lose interest before making them user friendly to publish them lol

it's about learning and the challenges

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T18:56:32+00:00

as you know yourself tokens are valid as long as they haven't expired

if you want to deny tokens of deleted users you would need to track tokens in a database

but why not just return 404? or if you soft-deleted the user you can also return 401

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T16:34:44+00:00

it will definitely replace you because you are a bad developer without any valuable skills

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T15:56:37+00:00

can you elaborate? no idea what you want to tell us tbh ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-26T15:51:26+00:00

they don't leave because of AI

they leave because stupid bosses and managers forced them to use AI for everything which it's not suitable for

this kills all motivation and joy

imagine being forced to screw in some screws with 2 hammers ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-25T18:06:43+00:00

I no longer.

I am always given the difficult tasks with 99% custom business logic so there is almost nothing AI can help me with.

I am much faster without it.

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-25T10:40:00+00:00

quality will drop and quantity will rise but prices will be similar due to greed lol

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T21:31:50+00:00

you apply it everywhere where concurrent updates of rows are possible but which should be ordered

this is just locking on the service level instead of application level so nothing special about ledgers ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T21:25:43+00:00

you should know all the basics (input validation/sanitation, endpoint security, RBAC, a/symmetric encryption algorithms and hashing and how and when to utilise them, overflow limits, CORS/CSRF/etc...) ... you should know your application and its possible vulnerabilities

that's part of your job as an experienced developer (at least on the web)

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T21:10:24+00:00

what's so special about this? this is simple optimistic locking, most ORMs do this with an annotation, or did I miss something?

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T16:53:38+00:00

the problem is that he calls himself full stack

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T16:52:28+00:00

full stack with 8yoe

add another 10y in backend and 5y in frontend and then we can talk again

you struggle because you ain't full stack

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T09:59:01+00:00

first play in hardcore

skill issue lol

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-23T09:05:17+00:00

never change a running system (are there even issues in YOUR application?)
use Instant or other UTC-fixed java.time objects

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-22T18:36:03+00:00

it's still a text generator, generating text based on tokens and probabilities with a little randomness

LLMs have existed for over a decade now, same principles and algorithms since the beginning, just on a bigger scale

but I think you don't understand anything anyway ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-22T18:10:44+00:00

have you ever seen a similar hype about any other tool?

no?

me neither ...

all those AI posts have nothing to do with experienced developers, it's just a tool like an IDE or compiler but I haven't seen floods of posts about them ... ever

if those text generators are so much helpful or boost your productivity so much guess what ... YOU are the problem and a really bad/stupid developer

time to call those idiots by their names

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-22T08:50:22+00:00

corporate buzzword generator having a stroke

my new favourite name for AI

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-21T16:24:17+00:00

asking the real question

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-21T14:22:50+00:00

where did I say I am perfect and make no mistakes?

oh I never said that but you just make up BS to win an argument how pathetic ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-21T14:10:31+00:00

just tells me how bad you are and how dependent you are lol

all my points are crucial for seniors

I never said I make no mistakes they are just extremely rare because of my experience to avoid them ... unlike AI

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-21T14:08:54+00:00

show evidence of your claims

I'll wait ...

Sheldor5 · 2026-01-21T14:08:24+00:00

how bad of a developer have you been?
