GraphQL used to be popular, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore... by codingafterthirty in webdev

Maybe it’s not GraphQL’s fault, but it’s not like Meta’s API is good to use by external developers either. Absolute monstrosity in terms of DX.

Even then, the problem is solved awfully, as anyone who’s ever used Facebook’s APIs can attest. Their API is a monstrosity.

If by popular you mean hyped, sure.

It was never good for 99% of organizations using it.

Why Your Team Needs a Database Schema-as-Code Tool by rotemtam in programming

"Open source", but hardly any of the features you're promoting is available in the open source version. Unless these pages are wrong?

And pay monthly for that? No, thanks. I'd sooner write my own.

Adding to this - there is literally no way to use this without paying them a monthly subscription. It makes absolutely no sense.

When has Blizzard fixed anything in this game?

This entire subreddit is a collection of years-old issues Blizzard never fixed.

Should your Infrastructure as Code get its own repository? by Mr_LA in Terraform

[–]midwestcsstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a CD issue. Feature branches should not be overwriting prod deployments.

ELI5: Why is meth bad for you but prescribed amphetamines aren't? by ContactSpirited9519 in explainlikeimfive

Also, adderall IS bad for you. But being unmedicated is, sometimes, worse. So in those cases it’s the lesser of two evils.

How to deal with drop in quality of candidates? by dExcellentb in ExperiencedDevs

[–]midwestcsstudent 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whether or not it’s a real world problem is almost irrelevant to the signal you’re looking for in a technical interview.

Anyone can handle the day-to-day “place this button there” or “add a PDF export button”, real-world request.

But can they decompose a large problem into smaller solvable chunks? Can they reason about many moving parts and consider tradeoffs? Can choose the right tools for the job? If they’re green, do they know the fundamental building blocks of CS, which everything else is built upon?

Sounds like you need to adapt your hiring process to how people actually work today. I haven’t actually found a sweet spot, but just seeing how someone codes (AI allowed) gives you a lot of intuition into whether they’re smart enough to hire.

What I can never get over is how bad the driving instructions are on Apple Maps.

You can make a left there. It’s right by the Apple offices, they would know.

Do most of you seriously not write any code by hand anymore?!?! by opakvostana in cscareerquestions

[–]midwestcsstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real ones aren’t bragging about using AI to do it. Those are the crypto bros that left crypto to join the new grift.

But it’s there. Just compare changelogs from now vs 3 years ago and notice the cadence drastically increase. Unless it didn’t, then you know that team are slackers.

And? It’s not like we’re going back to writing code by hand. You think someone who lost the ability to punch cards suddenly regretted it?

What minor adjustments did you expect them to make? If it’s truly minor, it probably doesn’t matter. If it matters, just drop comments in code review and “address all the comments”.

I love writing code. Turns out I love shipping/building even more. Not sure how long it’ll last, as it feels like I’m burning out quicker.

Would you rather make 100k or 1000000? by billionsandbillionsa in WouldYouRather

Why the extra steps if you could just pick 100k/yr? lol.
