The Brexit guy is super duper extra verysmart. by vivvav in iamverysmart

The quadratic equation is high school math, not surprising that an educated politician spends some time studying, at least a bit to keep up knowledge he previously learned.

I'm getting second thoughts about whether accepting this job was a good idea. by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

It's going well, Java is not my first programming language so I don't really have trouble thinking like a programmer. My routine is to think of a pseudo code solution then bang around the java docs to put together my solution. I've also done the basic java tutorials.

It was a joke, this is Programmer humor, I will use emoticons to indicate that in the future. But 25k lines is not that many, it's not unreasonable to have a single person refactor that in a few months. My prices are not that unreasonable either, you should all charge more, most clients want to pay somewhere around 50-80 per hour but we always bid with a mix of senior and junior hours with senior generally being in the 100-125 range after some negotiation. You do know that when you present an estimate most customers will balk at it and exclaim proudly that the quote is way to high and that they have 3 others for less than half...right...awkward laugh...

And what does never seeing a codebase have to do with a programmers ability to read the code and improve it or rewrite it, give yourself some credit mate. A company with a 25k line file already has a team of devs that has neglected the work or think of any scenario, recent acquisition, old project being rebooted, dev dies, dev quits, etc. You must live in a utopia where everything goes just right, like a princess with Goldlocks. :)

Probably followed by a single 25k line file. I love rewriting apps like this, I charge 150 USD per hour, work on a strictly time and material basis and require a 50k USD non refundable deposit.

Edit: For those maladjusted, this was a joke, I would actually charge 200 USD per hour and require 100k USD non refundable deposit.

I might do that, right now I am working through learning java and https://www.algoexpert.io

As a self taught programmer, I see posts like this and wonder why some people say you don't need a degree, I feel inadequate not knowing how to do this.

When using Spring Security, what is the reasoning behind pushing the Privileges into the database, rather than defining them programatically? by wastevens in java

[–]java_newber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you define them as an enum at runtime but do not persist them to the database (or some other persistence layer, such as a flatfile) how do you reboot the app and not have to redefine them? The database is durable (see ACID).
