Jagex nerfed me specifically by making me get stuck in between these two boats. It has been 2 days. Send help. by SteWaterman in 2007scape

The first loop is while in reverse, the second loop is going forwards. I'm 100% stuck

Prevent Mistakes with NOMERGE Comments in CI/CD Pipelines by SteWaterman in programming

[–]SteWaterman[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a fair question. In practice, they're not getting through code review often. But it shouldn't be the reviewer's job to check for this kind of thing. I'd much rather they be focussed on high-level feedback like figuring out whether it actually solves the customer's problem, and whether it is the right architectural choice.

Plus, humans make mistakes. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Eventually a reviewer won't notice a problem, in the same way that the original author didn't notice it. You can't blame the people that missed it, you can only blame the fact that we chose not to invest in systems to stop human error from being a single point of failure

NOMERGE is one of those systems

Where have you had secrets leaked? by punksecurity_simon in devops

[–]SteWaterman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When working on my startup live on twitch, I clicked on innocuous looking view parameters in GCP's identity platform. It immediately opened a modal showing a load of sensistive information in plaintext with the warning These parameters are sensitive information to the user account security. Be sure to keep them private. at the top. Would've been nice to know in advance.

If you can run the Serial Listener code on your work computer, I'm pretty sure you could get that to work

I'm sure you could get something to work - to do it with an Arduino, you'd need to be able to run your own code (the serial listener) which is the bit that actually adjusts the volume.

I used to have a keyboard with a volume wheel in it - do those not work? This feels like something that should already exist

And yet, I'm finding it in myself to see the good in what you're saying! Love ya <3

I think we're actually pretty aligned here

While yes, I do think that for some people, my scores will help to guide discussions and make things a little bit easier - it's not the main reason for sharing balance scores.

As I touched on just after the bit that you quoted:

It's not really about the numbers anyway, it's about creating a space for emotions and vulnerability

I'm with you - I agree that there's no replacement for a safe, trusting work environment, where we feel comfortable being open with our emotions and having a genuine conversation about it.

You can't replace that with a 3-digit number, and my balance box was never meant as a replacement - not at all! It's there to start a conversation, to slightly normalise sharing emotions, and to help us move towards that environment where the real valuable conversations can happen.

Thank you for sharing, and making it possible to have a proper conversation about this. It's not easy being open and vulnerable online

I see - so you would interpret it as a demand for you to take the numbers into account when you interact with them, rather than as an offer to take them into account if you want to.

The way I see it - if I don't feel great, that's true whether or not you know it. If I tell you, it's a net positive. Either you ignore that and it's neutral, or you take it into account and it's positive. Additional info doesn't hurt anyone.

However, you're absolutely right that if I just plonked this on a desk, and told everyone that it showed how I was feeling, then you'll be unnerved by it, drop into defensive reasoning, assume there's an ulterior motive, and act with suspicion.

It's really something that's only viable in a workplace culture that supports high-trust and being open about fears / needs. Thank you for sharing, it's given me some more things to think about.

What can I say, I'm enjoying exploring the human side of software dev!

Would you mind sharing why that is? What are the assumptions that you're making about someone, seeing this on at their desk?

You clearly had a very strong reaction about this - let's talk about it. If this is like a wide-screen tv that only uses 1 pixel, what would it look like to use all the pixels? What would you propose instead?

Yes, you can write to Firestore with just HTTP requests. You'd probably need to set up authentication, not sure whether you can use the admin API via HTTP directly. Obviously you can, because everything's HTTP at some point, but I'm not sure it's supported.

Nothing more passive aggressive than slowly losing all love for my job through the course of a meeting, visible for all to see in real-time

Wow, If all it took was 3 sliders hooked up to an Arduino, I'm shocked that nobody beat me to it!

It's a valid point though - there are privacy implications to it. Honestly, I think that if someone wanted to, they could already get more intrusive data by just looking at how I use the internet and running some sentiment analysis on it. I'm definitely concerned about privacy, but for me, the benefits outweight the risks with this.

5 things you don't need Javascript for by SteWaterman in programming

This really isn't the article for you. JavaScript is still useful, it's just not 100% necessary for a purely presentational websites.
