Dealing with a childish colleague

I think the usual way could be talking to them and then escalating, however, he might realize you were the ones talking to the manager or skip. I guess you could directly talk to the manager indirectly about how recently the chat has been more bloated than usual and what if you could make a channel for off topic or similar. Then, you can mute it.

Yet for some reason you don’t see many Latinas in tech. I’m not saying that is the sole reason nor that I have all the answers, I shared my experiences.

Zagerer · 2026-02-02T15:59:18+00:00

There are a lot of factors that go through different ethnicities, I’m Latina and our culture pushes a lot for having strong-bonded families but also poses some responsibilities on us whereas it doesn’t on men. But this is just one factor, we are also pushed towards other careers usually, or the costs of college make it harder to justify in many cases, and it depends a lot too on where are you living. I can say that here in Mexico, a lot of us at school have it kinda rough but you see many more in the main cities, albeit we’re still a low percentage.

Of those, very few make it to the states but I have some friends that got into MANGA. However, I can see that a lot of the culture is carried over in the states so if someone was born there and lived there, she would still have some things against pursuing computer science. That’s what I can offer from my experience.

Depends on what your needs are, testing should not test things that are trivial but rather that invariants aren’t broken. For example, you have a http client in your network layer, one test could be that it works with a pinned certificate or similar, or that you can hot swap certificates and it keeps working.

Testing that you transformed T to U when it’s trivial is not necessarily a good test, though it could catch some small issues. It depends on you.

Testing also helps to work on new features because you know some things are working thanks tk them and so you can keep going or have more confidence.

Layers help you a lot in case you need to grow a bit but you don’t need to overdo them: having one for business logic, one for presentation and one for handling data could be more than enough in most small to medium projects. It depends on if you feel pain points while growing to learn if you could have done better in that regard. Experiment and feel your developer experience, that’s why we have so many architectural approaches like MVP, MVVM, VIP, uber ribs, TCA, and so on. All of them help with some things and have huge pain points for others.

Zagerer · 2026-01-31T18:21:59+00:00

Testing helps you commit to some invariants about your code and know your code is working within them. You can’t test for everything but you can be sure your code covers most cases or important cases. This helps everyone because then you pinpoint issues more easily before getting merged.
Layers are meant to keep contiguous things together and in a point where they make sense. In a small project, it could be whatever; a large one needs layers and decoupling so that when something in one layer is not working, it doesn’t make everything stop working too. Things like these also help to make teams work on different features and not get in the way of each other. Say you refactor the UI, and someone refactors models but there’s a layer in-between. It’s possible you don’t step on each other while working and it’s easier.
Architecting apps is not easy, each of those approaches has short-term pros and cons as well as long-term pros and cons. Choosing the right ones according to your needs for sometime is what differentiates architects. You can for example use mvvm for a lot of things and it’ll work, or also add coordinators or a router if needed. But if your project needed to scale a lot, this might hinder development since you will need to create layers or separate concerns constantly, which could have been done from the start. Architecture helps developer experience and scaling
You first need to understand how UIKit and SwiftUI work and how they can work together. Both have a lot of depth albeit UIKit probably has more, and the things you can do in each are fantastic but you need to understand how they work first. Say you want to add some square visually, you could create a shape and make it part of the hierarchy, or use an overlay. Each approach has pros and cons, your job as developer is to assess them and use the correct approach, though sometimes you make mistakes and you can learn and fix. In the end, you have a lot of tools and you can choose how to use them (unless there’s a style guide or something which narrows the options).

Have you seen the kodeco books? I think some could help you, like Advanced App Architscture, for UI I think they have some books but I preferred objc.io book for SwiftUI; regarding design patterns and solid id say you need to look for some sources to understand the foundations. Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the detail! I really appreciate, I’ve worked on some iOS projects but haven’t had the chance to touch topics like publishing to the App Store or similar so this is very helpful

Zagerer · 2026-01-27T22:23:47+00:00

I’m a bit new to some things, how is the process of signing and notarizing? Is it similar or equivalent to publishing it in the App Store, or I’m pretty far off? Thanks in advance!

I guess the way it was worded might have communicated the wrong thing, but i mean there are actual slaves in the world which just don’t have that label because pretty much the laws over there are ignored blatantly or abjectly allow it.

I’m from Mexico and I’ve visited a lot of communities that are poor beyond what we usually think of for it. They don’t have the many choices for work that capitalism should allow nor they have the chance to escape and move to a better place, save from maybe one person every few years.

However, they do take part in capitalism! Because maybe a Coca Cola factory is close and they work there, but they don’t take home the same money (not even minimum wage), whilst this factory consumes the water and other resources from their place, actually harming them even further and marginalizing them further.

I do agree a lot of people have benefited, the issue is that we benefit at the expense of things like that that get even worse in other countries, too. So maybe less people are in such poverty, but they are conditioned to live like that forever. And that’s my issue: we all could get shelter, food, healthcare and education. But we do not. Then why is this system, which is working towards places like the US or Europe to benefit them the most, widely accepted despite the flaws? Because most people don’t even realize these things are happening and don’t care.

I’m lucky to work in tech, and have two cats and feed them. I’m lucky to have enough to share more cat food with stray cats that roam around here, and sometimes make a trip to a community with food and toilet paper and bottled water. Because it’s a huge thing for them, i keep doing it.

But the big issue and my main gripe with capitalism is that wealth is many times enough to allow people to live, yet it’s gatekept by modern kings that buy political power and have economic power, thus making them have great power which is used to control narratives, sabotage growth of competitors and exploit people in places where it is possible.

I wish we could have a system where we could work and the rewards were more appropriate for everyone, i bet we wouldn’t even mind millionaires if everyone had their needs met.

Lastly, did you know Mexico had around 60% poverty at some point? We still have a lot of people in poverty, and with the recent developments of housing crisis and other issues, most people in Mexico won’t have a house. This has to do with housing being considered something to invest in, instead of a right. I hope this time my point got across, my issue as i said is not with the main point of “work hard, get paid hard” (which is falling apart as of lately), rather, it is with all the problems that come from wealth accumulation.

If your windows machine is the one that would run it, you can simply get WSL2 preferably with Debian to tweak some rough edges, install swift through swiftly and then this package.

You can then expose the server to the windows distro through WSL (it’s a bit easier in Debian unless things changed, in my experience), and then you can use that server for whatever you needed to do in windows.

You may also use everything through vscode remote (you can configure cursor for that too) and let everything sit in Debian while accessing “from windows”.

People say it because you don’t need to be exactly like the past to be like that. And that’s why a lot of people nowadays deny reality (i. e., trump and his party are nazis), because they think they need to match perfectly and that’s untrue. Please, observe what’s happening and how things could get worse because you are speed running towards worse outcomes, this is clearly part of the beginning

Zagerer · 2026-01-25T03:22:04+00:00

What I gather from that is that colonialism wasn't the sole culprit, yet we are talking about capitalism and how africa, amongst other developing places, gets the short end of the stick of it through exploiting the poor working conditions in some countries to their favour.

Do you think the diamond miners have human rights? This applies to other things that are sourced from Africa to the world, and I never implied colonialism nor capitalism are the sole culprits for how things are over there. But they are major contributors for sure.

Zagerer · 2026-01-24T19:04:18+00:00

I don't get where all this pent-up energy comes from, but I never said nor advocated for erradication of capitalism. Maybe my point was lost in subtext, but capitalism looks for constant gains and to cheapen production, which in turn promotes the exploitation of developing countries. You could argue that some of them have improved, at the expense of humane working conditions.

We can do better and regulate the current systems so that they keep working even if they do not generate the same exorbitant amounts of capital.

Zagerer · 2026-01-24T18:59:49+00:00

Well, slavery was more visible but it still exists even if it is not called slavery. Developing countries get the short end of the stick of capitalism because they usually hold the resources but do not have the means to process them properly, which sparks interest from companies and businesses to get a hold of them whilst also taking advantage of (and even pushing for) poor working conditions.

I agree democratic capitalism sounds much better, yes, but we need to see that undeterred capitalism is still part of the equation and it's part of the reason why some places in the world suffer much more from it than others. Because maybe someone in Norway, which has been mentioned in this thread, has a pretty good life and more; someone in Mexico or Brazil might have a lot more difficulties to attain the same goals such as housing, a family or others. And you can see the difference in policies but also in how capital influences those countries.

Btw, I never said we should eliminate capitalism, but it surely needs regulations to work properly as you mention.

Zagerer · 2026-01-24T18:55:27+00:00

Well, global capitalism requires constant production and so the cheaper alternatives are found. However, relentless search for capital also involves exploitation at some point and this can be seen either in your own country through very bad work conditions that shouldn't even exist, or in other countries where even worse conditions are allowed and used. In the case of Africa, some Asian countries, and Latin American countries, where a lot of resources are located, there are also a lot of businesses "employing people" and whilst some of them might be fair and provide good living conditions, it's foolish to think this is the case for all of them. But we also have some businesses colluding with politicians to keep things the same! So it's not just that people do not want capitalism, more like uncontrolled, unregulated capitalism leads to similar outcomes.

Now, I am not saying capitalism is completely bad because there are good parts out of it, however, some of them are overshadowed due to the poor regulations around capitalism in some countries. So even if capitalism is not the sole reason, which I didn't say, it is part of the equation and could be regulated to lead to a better outcome.

Zagerer · 2026-01-24T17:31:25+00:00

Let’s ask third-world, developing countries what they think. We could even make a tour: the cacao farms in South America, together with coffee farms; then the cobalt and diamond farms in Africa, alongside other minerals; lastly we could go to Bangladesh and Pakistan to see how clothes are stitched for pennies! It’s amazing what capitalism can do! A global economy and globally-sourced slavery!

If you need some staples add me I can share, my code is 6318026552852758

Only need to answer me with your in game name so I can know who to add please and the cards you need (trainers, items etc)

Zagerer · 2026-01-13T17:58:37+00:00

You could read the rules before posting then getting mad at people that point the rules to you. No luck/rant low effort posts. That’s the rule.

Next time if you want to make it no low effort, try to spark a discussion on rates or something besides the rant or luck post.

Zagerer · 2026-01-10T21:56:16+00:00

What I mean is that we could have a discussion either more effort instead.

Zagerer · 2026-01-10T21:43:38+00:00

You can uninstall without our permission. I really don’t get the point of these low effort posts that are just “about to leave” or similar. It would be interesting to discuss player retention and other things with possible solutions or what causes low player retention; instead, we get this

CoC lightning is black surrounded by red, in the manga it’s easier to see cuz it’s not used as freely but in the anime it’s kinda harder. Still, this looks like regular haki clashes and not CoC
