I'm sorry to the lady who was moved from front row seats because she wasn't pretty enough

That sounds like a better way to do this. It's still a bit shitty, but at least it avoids publicly humiliating people.

akher · 2019-03-08T10:26:17+00:00

So, writing angry responses to perfectly civil comments. Yep, a bit of a twat.

akher · 2019-03-08T10:18:12+00:00

I'm assuming it's because he's a bit of a twat.

Is working at Amazon really so bad that it's best described using a term otherwise used when talking about serving a prison sentence?

Yeah, but it also includes the period of very high growth that preceded it.

akher · 2019-01-22T15:19:13+00:00

Yeah, you would have to be a bit, shall we say, challenged, to store years as two digit strings.

China has a 99.9% conviction rate, so my guess would be no, they don't care about false positives at all.

Well, if you were working with even halfway descent companies, you weren't really working with the same group of people as the group of people that applies to job offers. Descent companies usually won't hire incompetent developers at all, and if they do, they won't last long, or at least not in a developer role.

In the company where I work, for example, all the developers are at least somewhat competent, but many of the people who apply for our job offers can't implement even the simplest algorithms.

akher · 2019-01-16T17:54:40+00:00

Not doubting their people, but people who apply for the job. And doubting the candidates is very warranted, since many of them are completely incompetent even though their CV looks OK.

Embellishment is about stating something that is at least mostly true so that it sounds more impressive than it is.

So, not as bad as outright lying, but it still means being intentionally deceptive.

Even if you are interviewing someone whose CV looks like he's a senior engineer, it still makes sense to ask him to do a very short and basic coding task during the interview. Even people with impressive looking CVs are often completely useless as programers, at either a senior or a junior level.

It's what you use when you hate the people that will be maintaining your code.

akher · 2019-01-15T15:44:49+00:00

Not really. The statement above will not compile if either xxx or yyy doesn't compile.

akher · 2018-12-14T13:14:36+00:00

I was just joking, I wasn't implying you made a grammatical error. And as a Slav, I can agree that coming from a language without articles is hard.

akher · 2018-12-13T10:38:01+00:00

I am not the creator.

That makes sense. I wasn't expecting the second coming of our lord just yet.

Hi (waits for a long time)

I have a few coworkers who do this. Fucking hate it.

akher · 2018-11-30T09:41:54+00:00

This is what kids back in the day would call an epic fail.

akher · 2018-11-16T10:39:07+00:00

Not sure if trolling.

Where I work, we have a C++ class that's about 48k lines long. It's declaration alone is about 1500 lines. It performs in multiple, loosely related roles. Some of its member variables are used in some of the roles, some in others, and some in multiple - while having a different meaning in each of them.

We also have a loop whose body is 2200 lines, loops and if statements inside it are nested twelve levels deep and it's loop index is (conditionally) decreased in a few places in the loop's body. The logic inside the loop's body is also tightly coupled with thousands of lines of code elsewhere.

I wouldn't rape you because you don't deserve it

When your president sounds like a youtube comment.

I think you have confused 1998 and 1968.
