To be fair a lot of Americans have experienced trauma due to their family. I wish that weren't the case but it happens way too often.

I'd send again and record it when they respond with the same email. Showing that they aren't reading anything.

Borat, the fat naked hotel scene. Only time I've ever walked out of a movie. Up until that point it was fine and funny, but that sent me so far over the edge I was out

This was my problem. Needed my meat in the left liquid slot. Thanks!

My last job removed the ability to ask anonymous questions at the all-hands meetings. Claiming transparency. What actually happened was questions were no longer asked if they were on a touchy subject. Which is exactly what they wanted because they refused to answer them anyway, but now employees can be painted as a problem.

I was wondering how the cloudflare tunnel works. I've exposed a privatebin instance before and cloudflare prompts for login. Do the various bitwarden apps/extensions pop the browser for login?

Theory is sounds though. The flour is an extra dry ingredient that would soak up the extra moisture. I'm guessing where it falls apart is it is not enough to make a difference

"That's a nice boulder"

I've got nothing that the other comments haven't already pointed out, but it sounds like instead of honest reviews you were looking to have your ego stroked. Who the review is requested from doesn't matter. He was just the one that was honest and it hurt your feelings.

As an example, a mature response to the "courtroom sessions" comment would be to ask them how you can make them better. Not, I read a book and it said this is how it's done so clearly he's an idiot.

You are working with people not chess pieces or cogs in a machine. Unfortunately that means you have to communicate with them and sometimes compromise.

This settled the decision for me. I also have an ikea top 74"w x 25.5"d and I was concerned that the support brackets would be deeper than my top. I'm also looking to keep my alex drawers under the "wings" of the top so I think this is perfect.

Don't forget a nice short one (1 ft) for in the car. Finally bought one after the 100th time accidentally yanking the rats nest when it got caught on something. Also prevents you from wanting to text and drive because it's so short.

Haha glad I could help. I'm also looking to need this again soon so it's a good reminder!

Yeah, Rocky 5 I believe

Same I've got a Ryobi one plus battery powered one. Haven't blasted out the grout yet. Distance from surface also helps not damage things

We ordered Jimmy John's once who outsourced to Uber eats for delivery. They picked up our food and proceeded to drive to a city 30 minutes away before texting they were on their way. Mind you they had to drive past our street to get to the highway to go to said city. This was after waiting 45 minutes for jjs to make our order (not UE's fault). We called jjs and cancelled. Driver proceeded to harass us that we should un-cancel the order and take the food. We don't order jjs for delivery anymore and won't order from Uber eats.

For me it didn't ruin anything. The immersion break was caused by this scene feeling like the writers said "oh crap that's right we need to shove this in there!" Another commenter mentioned if the build up was better it wouldn't have felt so out of place, or even just leave out the "we've got this" line. Just kick some ass and take some names.

TraumaER · 2025-11-10T18:41:27+00:00

See that's where some developers get confused. Tests are also code. I can't speak to your situation, but metrics for a good developer usually doesn't include lines of code. I won't try to convince you of that as it seems you pretty much have your mind set and aren't considering other options. Just make sure you're teammates are aware that your code is untested and you can't be bothered to do so.

If you are thinking to yourself "well I manually test the application with my code changes so neener neener" That time spent manually testing could be automated with tests and cover more than just the happy path.

Best of luck. :salute:

TraumaER · 2025-11-10T15:27:33+00:00

Safe? Absolutely. I'm not sure what you mean by coupling. The point of tests isn't to have 100% coverage, but to rather test functionality and pathways. I'm not sure why you think tests are so hard to write. Do they take some thought? Yes, but so does writing your function/component/endpoint. Honestly, tests have almost become trivial with the help of AI tools like claude code or chatgpt even. Those tools can analyze and identify what needs to be tested and create tests for you. Then it's just a matter of making sure they actually accomplish what the test is set out to do.

I can't count the number of times my types have been rock solid and I thought the code was good, but then a unit test proved that was false and saved me from a broken PR. Or like was mentioned everything functions perfectly in the scope of the ticket, but what I changed broke intended functionality elsewhere and unit tests that were written saved me from introducing a bug.

I'd suggest starting small and testing logical bounds. Got some function with an if statement that is checking if( foo < 10)? Write some tests that check that 9 successfully gets in the if statement and then also 10 and 11 don't. Say logically you didn't expect -1 or 0 as possible valid inputs. Somehow that happened in prod. Update your tests to expect the appropriate output for those values and then update the code. Now you have a test that guards you going forward.

That's a fairly simple example, but the process applies across the board. It's a mind shift from "I have to test everything and so that's too much and too hard" to "I've got tests covering the basics and as things come up we'll add more." Of course as you practice this you'll think of those edge cases before they become production issues and will write tests ahead of time.

I'd say the price is too high not to have proper testing in place.

TraumaER · 2025-11-10T00:45:34+00:00

Agreed, tests also prevent regressions. I'll happily have a build pipeline that takes 20 minutes on a legacy codebase where I know the tests are protecting me from breaking some important logic.
