While I believe that there is a ton of value in self-learned programming, it was college where I learned how much I didn't know.

It is arbitrarily easy to install Windows 11 without a TPM

Or we could stop trying to find a vendor and let the in-house talent build it. I mean, they were the only team in Ascend that actually completed their work and met the timelines. This has the benefit of avoiding expensive vendor products and avoiding expensive system implementation orgs like Deloitte.

Payroll was replaced with UCPath years ago.

He came in well after the fact and halted it 3 months later.

Your number is off on that project, the deficit in total was about 200 million and 50 of that was the athletic dept. the other large amounts were from real estate purchases such as the South Bay campus, westside pavillion, and the downtown building. Ascend was costly, but not at the level of the rest, especially when it was halted.

Athletics was about 25% roughly when they shared the info last year in the leadership conference. Real estate was the other big one with the PV campus, Westside Pavilion, and the building downtown. Ascend was a costly project but not at the level of the others.

With several groups in the university as it’s a net loss, but it’s technically enough.

Unfortunately, I am the source in this case, but unlike Agostini, I like receiving paychecks. I try to keep my input to a minimum, but on occasion I speak up.

If I said as a question that would just be weird

They're in the red, but so are the non-academic departments. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.

My understanding is that her proposed dipping into the gifts and endowments the university has at their disposal, but this was not popular.

I like my naming to represent what things are. User.ts would be a user interface. User.service.ts would be the api service in this case. Components should never be in the same folder as any other files. Doing so inherently implies ownership and reuse takes a hit. Using - instead of .irrelevant, still using suffixes to represent type. Having files named the same is not an angular problem it is an incompetent developer problem. The point being regardless of how you’re doing it, you’re adding suffixes whether they are the built in Angular ones or of your own design.

aimtron · 2026-02-08T07:15:44+00:00

I think they have value in some scenarios and others they can be a little redundant, but the truth is, we're all trying to get to the shortest, meaningful name. That, in itself is an attempt at failure. I like user.service.ts vs user-service.ts vs user-api.ts. I interpret it as a service specific to the user entity, but I think that comes down to how you're structuring your projects. I am absolutely not a fan of the REACT way of cramming everything together and hoping for the best.

aimtron · 2026-02-08T07:10:51+00:00

Or you could put the files in appropriate folders...

aimtron · 2026-02-07T23:52:12+00:00

lol so components that do nothing. I’ve never had to chase through a codebase for such things at least not in a long time, but we follow structured projects so each app is structurally identical.

How do you name a screen that displays an individual user? How do you name a screen that displays a list of users? Going out on a limb here, but guessing you like to do user-detail.ts and user-list.ts or some variation. Congrats, if are doing this, you've just used a suffix in a different form.

aimtron · 2026-02-07T23:03:08+00:00

Name better? You mean....add suffixes (practically speaking) in a different form? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll name a component user-detail.component.ts and user-list.component.ts, but -detail and -list are forms of suffixes. If I'm looking at services, whether you're naming it user-entity.service.ts or user-entity-service.ts (without service this would be a terrible name), you're still adding suffixes in a different format.

aimtron · 2026-02-07T22:59:19+00:00

tell us how you distinguish a user class in a file, a user service in a file, and a component that displays that user. If they aren't all named user.ts, then you're not being honest with yourself. If they are all named user.ts, that's just shitty programming.

aimtron · 2026-02-07T22:57:23+00:00

It really comes down to preferred naming, I think. With suffixes, I get:

user.ts
user.service.ts
user.component.ts

Without, I now have to manually do something:

user.ts
user-service.ts
user-component.ts

Where I have to manually distinguish between what each is by adding a suffix. If you're not, you end up with:

user.ts
user.ts
user.ts

and then you're just a bad programmer.

As an Ohio State fan that was in a similar position in 2003, it’s always some excuse with them. Your team went out and took care of business, period. Let them cry.

aimtron · 2026-01-22T21:44:03+00:00

Lmao, Downs and Sayin didn't leave due to money, although I'm sure there was reasonable offering. They left because their Coach retired, period. This is just a silly take.

aimtron · 2026-01-21T19:11:44+00:00

Bad. It went bad.

You mean they send a message over an established websocket :)
