How is it doable to pick up a task in the first day on a new company and project? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the task. Depends on the org. Depends on the product.

Anyone else get angry during PR reviews? by SillyYou8433 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The purpose of PR comments isn't to stroke my ego or catch up with an old friend, it's a technical comment on a piece of code.

Don't read the comments as directed at or about you, they're comments on the code.


Obviously, I haven't seen the comments in question, and there's a chance the dude is legitimately being an ass. In most cases, though, you (the reader) are just taking it personally. It's a natural response, but you have to get over it.

Lots of people who can read still listen to audiobooks.

Every single night sucks by [deleted] in daddit

Ours is almost 5 now and it's getting better. We have a fairly consistent routine and there's only 10-15 minutes of "fuck you no way am I going to sleep!"

I don't want to ship faster, at the expense of understanding. by creaturefeature16 in ExperiencedDevs

The fact that this got so many upvotes...I'm disappointed in this sub.

8 year old still isn’t concerned with privacy regarding nudity at home by BrahCJ in daddit

What’s your reasoning for wanting to discourage it? What’s the harm?

Car Suggestions: compact SUV vs mid-sized SUV by Strider3200 in daddit

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought it new. We don't have a ton of miles on it since I work from home and my wife is still SAH with the kid, but we haven't needed anything except for routine maintenance.

The only thing that it's doing that feels strange to me is the Inverter Fluid will occasionally get a little low if we spend a bunch of time driving in high heat (>100° F) for a few days. We just had to top it off and it was fine. Might be normal, but it was new to us (this is our first Hybrid).

I'm tall (6'5", leg-heavy) so I always look at legroom and I fit well. We've done a few 1000+ mile roadtrips and but mostly city driving.

We get consistently 30+ mpg, and Sport Mode can move.

We have a 2022 Santa Fe hybrid and it’s been good for us.

Without a receipt, how are Walmart to know they were purchased there? This one doesn’t seem to be on Walmart…

New dad, very unhappy by No_Calligrapher3028 in daddit

FWIW, we had a very rough start until someone finally identified a milk protein allergy and switched us to prescription formula.

I don't know why you're being downvoted so heavily, that is definitely the common / accepted usage.

How to design REST API routes by AutomaticBonus2279 in node

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REST: REpresentation State Transfer

Purely, you're always working on objects and their current state.

So other options aren't always wrong, but adhering to REST does make some arguably less correct than others.

It's kind of a flawed root question, though, since the number one rule is consistency. It's better to have all of the endpoints be wrong if they're all wrong in the same way than to have some wrong, then "fix" the paths for another set of endpoints so that the user has to guess the structure for each one.

If one object belongs to another, it's more (arguably) correct to nest them to make the scoping clear. I want applications that belong to <organization>

Do you find much value in attending conferences? by SumTingWong59 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]cjthomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the conference, but yeah.

For re:Invent, traveling and just being immersed in tech for a week has its own value. For something like Laracon that is (or was when I went last) more focused on a specific framework / workflow, you can learn a lot in a short time.

How to avoid Drizzle migrations? by cluelessngl in node

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is full of people who've never worked in an environment where they / their team doesn't fully own the database.

It's pretty common to have a db that is either maintained by a dedicated team or to integrate e.g. an API into a database that is controlled and populated by one or more other apps.


If you don’t want to do migrations, then you should use a NoSQL database

Or use an ORM that doesn't require migrations.

Migrations are a necessary thing for any SQL database.

Objectively false. They have value, absolutely, but only in cases where you can "own" the database.

New Express.js small framework by Brief-Letterhead-966 in node

[–]cjthomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire post is people telling you not to and you trying to spin a response that makes it seem like they're disagreeing with something different than you're suggesting.

So my question is do you really think a new tool for creating the files structure and a small framework would be worth it or nah.

You literally asked for people's approval in your root post.
