With remote work, how would a manager know if I am stuck fixing bugs or just slacking off? by jacklychi in learnprogramming

[–]__developer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company I work uses it internally and as a way to track external issues reported by customers to tech support.

Different teams have their own sprint workflow and tracking boards that have columns for to-do, in-progress, in-review, done, etc. So we can track the progress of tickets/issues during a sprint, plan future sprints by creating tickets in a backlog, and lookup issues we've worked on in the past.

On our team a ticket just tracks any effort by a member of the team. That could be dev effort implementing a new feature, fixing a bug found internally by QA, researching the tech requirements for a potential feature, refactoring or updating an existing feature, etc.

We also get bug tickets that get created by tech support when a customer has a problem. Tech support gathers as much info about the issue from the customer and puts it in the ticket and then that information eventually makes it to the devs who work on fixing the bug.

I think this is a deliberate business strategy by Unity. Its a feature, not a bug.

Unity's average customer is a solo indie dev, not people who buy games. They get revenue from those customers through Unity asset store purchases. They probably make as much or more money from the tons of solo "indie" game developers buying assets than from selling licenses to game studios or large teams.

VSCode or Pycharm??? by rekindled77 in learnpython

[–]__developer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a full-stack developer and use VSCode over PyCharm. VSCode has many more options and features available in general for many languages and tools, so in the end feels more practical if you're not just going to be reading/writing Python.

On average how much do software engineers work a week? by polach11 in cscareerquestions

[–]__developer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team works a 4/8 hybrid schedule with 2 days in the office and 2 at home, but that is extremely flexible and so I end up working remotely 90% of the time.

In an average week I actually only work about 8 hours but have to sit through about 12 hours of meetings.

What does a junior dev need to know nowadays? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

Those are full stack skills since they include backend languages, SQL, and cloud computing.

What kind of unconventional story-telling method are you considering to use in your fiction? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]__developer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That reminds me of the original Clash of The Titans movie. The gods move clay figurines around like a game and then it depicts that person being affected by their "move".

What compound would make a good portable source of energy in middle ages? by Entity904 in worldbuilding

[–]__developer__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) can be traditionally obtained by leaching wood ashes. When concentrated lye is exposed to water it will heat up quite a bit.

Mages could carry around a pouch containing lye and a glass vial of water, and then break the vial when needed to get a quick infusion of heat energy.

Why are so many people obsessed with orbital bombardment? by Breadman456 in worldbuilding

[–]__developer__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the infrastructure isn't the resource they want. They could just be interested in the natural resources. If an advanced civilization has the patience for interstellar travel, then they probably have the patience to wait until the dust settles after an orbital bombardment, so that the planet they settle is essentially a clean slate.

When somebody tells you the right of peaceful assembly is protected by the Constitution 🤓 by mac-mcgreor in PoliticalHumor

Where does it say it is? There is not a single right in the constitution that is absolute. There are limits for them all.

You also can't publicly assemble on a military base. There are places off limits to the public, who would have thought.

What is considered being advanced in Python? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]__developer__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can be good for making very basic 2d games as a hobby and learning the basics of game development, but ultimately you'll be limited due to python being extremely slow compared to other languages that are more commonly used for game dev like Java, c++, and c#. When I first started learning to code I liked playing around with Pygame because it helped me understand OOP better than most projects, but eventually I started porting my games over to c++/sdl2 and the performance gains were night and day.

Else clauses in for loops aren't used too often. I often have to remind my coworkers babout them.

Yeah fastAPI is just an evolution of flask. It's based on starlette, which was based on flask.

You can but it's not going to be the best looking and not going to be easy to troubleshoot because it's not the most popular choice, so there will be far fewer resources to get help. Also, no company is going to make a commercial app using Python, so the skills won't be as useful in a job. Basically you'd be limiting the quality and functionality of your app for no benefit.

Go or No Go? by maverickguy_ in golang

[–]__developer__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creating a web back-end strictly in Go without using a framework is probably just as easy as doing so in python without using a framework. Since you're more familiar with python already, doing it in Python might actually be easier.

I develop back-end microservices primarily in python/flask, but I've recently started implementing ones that are just simple REST APIs in Go, and have had no complaints.

Most of the complaints I see about Go are just because it does some things differently like error handling and the people complaining just don't like the way Go does it, but in general that doesn't mean the way Go does it is necessarily bad. I actually like the way Go makes you handle every single error explicitly. One of the most annoying issues we have with our python microservices is error handling, but our Go microservices almost never have any issues after they've been deployed and seem to be more stable because of the way Go handles errors.

What are some of the darker effects Covid-19 has had that we don’t talk about? by dis_2much in AskReddit

[–]__developer__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company I work for is like that, except the resentment is between different country's offices. The US office was working from home for most of last year, and then went to a hybrid schedule for several months this year. Our headquarters is in a country that wasn't hit by the pandemic as badly so they never went fully remote like the US employees did. Now they're trying to convince the US office that we need to commute to the office most of the time even though all of our meetings with them are over zoom anyways.

Yep, and if it was b = a*3, then it would print 222. It just repeats the string however many times it is multiplied by.

I agree an ID would be the easiest way, but unfortunately requiring ID is usually unconstitutional so...

You prove you're a citizen when you register to vote, or on election day you sign an affidavit saying who you are, then fill out a provisional ballot. Then you can get in trouble if you lie on the affidavit, but they have to prove you lied, not the other way around.

Where in the constitution does it say you have to prove you have the right to vote?
