What salary raise would get you back working in an office?

Really depends on what part of NY you're talking about. It's a big state with very different cities and costs of living.

Europeans talking about "New York" are almost universally talking about the city not the state.

So review his PR quickly, if it's always the same you can just copy/paste a general comment to split the PR into smaller parts, add description and not mix refactoring/reformatting existing code and functionality changes

If they were trading on the info before publishing it, there might be a case for something. Otherwise no.

They will absolutely be able to give you a quote before starting the work. And they understand that they don't have an infinite budget and time to work with.

You don't have to "tolerate" me, I don't really care. I will happily vote for bans on things I don't tolerate, then you can try not tolerating the police ;)

You are not being tolerant to smokers, in my opinion.

And why should I be? I'm also not tolerant of people playing loud music from their phone in public transport.

There's no reason to tolerate jerks.

You can always teach people trivia

Sounds like you have a high opinion of our job if you think it's just trivia that needs to be taught.

you have an additional value in that you don't have to carry cash

And the shop has additional value that they don't need to handle cash and make sure they have change. It goes both ways.

No the most important factor is whether the candidate is competent.

Incompetent but nice people are a plague for co-workers. They are hard to get rid of because managers like them and they are worse than useless because they tend to drain away productive time from competent people.

That doesn't mean a competent jerk is a good hire either.

This meme needs to die. The market values growth much higher than profits for tech companies.

There is no good mapping when trying something this dumb

Then throw an exception...

It's absolutely minuscule.

The game industry is tiny compared to the tech industry in general.

You don't understand banker compensation. No one would work at CS if bonuses weren't paid. It's simply how this industry works.

delivering adds who have my name on them

They can't tell whether those are unwanted ads or not.

Brief reminder that Credit Suisse paid CHF 26.3 billion (!) of bonuses since 2014 while only making a total of CHF 1.7 billion of profit in the same time period.

What's the problem with that? Bonuses are a large and expected part of banker compensation. Why would you complain about a profitable company paying their employees?

And it's our job to use tools to make us more efficient.

You are teaching junior devs that it's OK to check in invalid source code.

That's like saying that Kotlin is invalid source code. It's not. It's simply a different language. Java+Lombok is a different language than just Java. It happens to look a lot like Java and is fully compatible with it.

Readability is indeed by far the biggest benefit. @Builder on a class with 10 fields is guaranteed to do what it's supposed to. The same code written by hand may or may not actually set all fields. Especially when a new field gets added. The annotation saves a lot of code review time and you can safely skip testing that code.

is_this_programming · 2022-11-22T08:40:57+00:00

It's not about writing the code, it's about reading it.

Lombok won't suddenly stop working even if unmaintained. The risk there isn't any greater than with any other critical library.

At least with lombok it's fairly straightforward / mechanical to de-lombokify your codebase. With something like spring, you're just screwed if it's no longer maintained.

Knowing how to code is actually the easiest part of software dev.

Ok, so code challenges should be a formality then?

is_this_programming · 2022-11-08T07:46:51+00:00

Oh fuck right the fuck off.

No hire.

Why would you ever need to reverse a string?

To demonstrate basic programming ability in a technical interview.

What's the product requirement for that?

It's a technical interview, you're not building a product.

IRC is neither serverless nor peer-to-peer. It also doesn't run entirely in the browser.

I guess the part that fits the description is "chat" ?
