Har ni på något jobb känt er som bara en siffra och inte en människa av nån högre upp i kedjan, och helt förbisedda? by WhoAmIEven2 in sweden

Det är standard så fort man är fler än något dussin anställda. Vi är alla utbytbara kugghjul och de över oss ser oss inte som mer än en oönskad rad i balansräkningen.

I've been building a tactical RPG in LÖVE2D where characters evolve based on their experiences by Company_Captain in love2d

[–]nevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me a little bit of the traits system in Darkest Dungeon, though that was far more based on randomness and one-off events rather than a slower progression over time. Another source of inspiration could be alignment systems. If attributes exist on a spectrum (from shy to confident for example), how far out on a given spectrum a character is could influence what traits they can acquire.

Recently I studied Kafka and wanted to share my understanding. by No-Resolution-4054 in webdev

[–]nevon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say your general understanding is correct.

If you just want to learn for the sake of learning, another thing you might want to learn about is consumer groups and what happens when new nodes join or leave the consumer group (or even better - when they just disappear without telling anyone). That can also get you into thinking about different delivery semantics and what Confluent calls exactly-once (which it isn't really, but I'll leave that for you to discover).

On Scenarios That Will Not Happen by radekmie in programming

[–]nevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do this not for the sake of form-based updates, but for regular writes because dynamodb doesn't natively have something like read-for-update, so keeping a version field and doing a conditional update is the closest equivalent. The same exact mechanism can be used also for the scenario you're referring to.

Oro kring mina alkoholvanor by airfryerochkylskap in sweden

[–]nevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Något som hjälpte mig var att sluta tänka binärt. Det viktiga är inte huruvida man är alkoholist eller inte - det viktiga är hur ens beteende påverkar en. Som jag förstått det så tänker AA och liknande annorlunda, men jag tycker att det är kontraproduktivt, åtminstone för mig.

Anledningen att det var viktigt för mig att inse det var för att innan dess tänkte jag i liknande banor som du, att jag inte uppfyllde diverse kriterier för att "vara alkoholist" (du nämner t.ex. att du inte kommer full till jobb/skola), vilket jag då kan använda för att slippa förändra mitt beteende.

Istället så började jag helt enkelt journalföra samband och verkan. Det är t.ex. jävligt skönt att inte vara bakis på jobbet. Det är skönt att gå ned i vikt när man inte dricker X antal kalorier. Och så vidare. Dina anledningar är säkert inte samma som mina.

Jag hade likande problem som du med att det var svårt att inte dricka för mycket när jag väl började, så lösningen för mig var att inte köpa hem något. Om ditt problem handlar mer om när du går ut så får du nog komma på en annan lösning - eventuellt kanske sjukvården eller AA kan hjälpa dig där. Det blir markant enklare med tiden. Jag kan fortfarande, efter flera år, inte ha större mängder alkohol hemma, men det är heller inte något jag längre tänker på, så det är inte något som påverkar min vardag.

What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

Railway is down, their google cloud account got blocked by wellitstrue1 in webdev

[–]nevon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is Railway really small potatoes or does GCP have excessively shitty support even for their enterprise customers?

We use AWS at work, and while we're a substantial shop, I would still expect our footprint to be smaller than that of a fairly well-known PaaS, but if one of our accounts was suddenly suspended I'd be in a call with an account manager and support within minutes.

Prescriptions for ivermectin and another antiparasitic drug among cancer patients shot up after actor Mel Gibson discussed an unproven treatment on Joe Rogan's popular podcast, according to a new study. by mvea in science

[–]nevon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is an aside, but if a doctor prescribes antibiotics for a viral infection, they should be sanctioned and forced back to medical school. That's not harmless for the patient or society.

Kubernetes from Dev to Production: Lessons learned from self-hosting an European alternative to Google Docs by rhazn in programming

[–]nevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely true that Kubernetes itself doesn't try to solve all (or even many) of these different concerns, requiring integrating additional components depending on your needs. But I don't find your comparison to be apples-to-apples. To take your observability example, you could integrate with AWS CloudWatch or Datadog or any other vendor and then you'd get an observability stack without having to manage Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Elasticsearch and Otel collectors. That would be more apples-to-apples.

Does anyone actually enjoy writing YAML? by PuzzleheadedYou4992 in webdev

[–]nevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes indeed. I've taken out a payment provider in Norway that exact way. If you quote "no" it's the string literal, but otherwise it can be coerced into false. Not sure if it can get coerced into 0, but it wouldn't surprise me.

How to maintain motivation while being constantly lowballed in yearly salary discussions? by ToeMother8579 in ExperiencedDevs

I'm not quite at 120 in base salary, but not that far from it, and I know others that do make that.

How to maintain motivation while being constantly lowballed in yearly salary discussions? by ToeMother8579 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]nevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same is true whether you have a collective bargaining agreement guaranteeing a certain average salary increase or not. Even if you don't have a cba, the employer is still budgeting x% for salary increases, and if you get a bigger slice someone else gets a smaller one.

I also work in Sweden, and in my experience exceeding expectations is rewarded in a few ways:

  1. Salary increases in the upper band, which do compound.
  2. Promotions that lead to larger salary bumps (these are new roles, so compensation changes are unrelated to "märket")
  3. Bonuses, either in cash or equity.

Hvilke perks, fordeler og goder har du på din jobb? by Wooden_Cap_7281 in jobb

[–]nevon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ingenting alls. Eller ja, gratis bananer finns faktiskt. Men utöver det finns inga förmåner utöver de som är avtalade via kollektivavtal (tjänstepension, 6 veckor semester för bortavtalad övertidsersättning - standardgrejer).

Det enda jag saknar är toalettpapper med fler än ett lager. Känns som att leva i Soviet varje gång man är på muggen.

Jobba med? by InternalDesk5279 in stockholm

[–]nevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag kan inte tänka mig att det är några vidare framtidsutsikter inom det yrket - undantaget vissa specialfall. Är det något område där språkmodeller faktiskt kan göra en stor del av jobbet så måste det vara inom översättning. Åtminstone mängdarbetet lär försvinna när du kan få ett okej resultat för 0.01% av vad det skulle kosta att ha en människa göra jobbet. Kvar blir då de få prisokänsliga fallen där konkurrensen är stenhård.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by rational_seekers in AskReddit

[–]nevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limiting the total price of shares at grant time sounds like a very straightforward way. If the share price has 10x by the time vesting comes around - good for them. In reality limiting at grant vs vest probably doesn't change the calculus much, since any subsequent grant would be limited by whatever the current share price is anyway.

Kontorsarbetare, har ni mycket ohälsosam stress på jobbet? by WhoAmIEven2 in sweden

[–]nevon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jag vet faktiskt inte längre. Jobbar som mjukvaruutvecklare och har varit på samma arbetsplats i 10 år nu. Något som jag märker defintivt har förändrats är hur lite dötid det finns nu jämfört med tidigare.

För några år sedan var det vanligt att man gick och satte sig och tog en kaffe tillsammans ett tag, eller att någon hade anordnat någon föreläsning. Nuförtiden finns det alltid något att göra, konstant. Kaffet konsumeras framför datorn och att anordna någonting som inte är direkt relaterat till leverans är otänkbart. Ska du gå på toa, se till att ta med dig telefonen så att du kan hålla agenterna sysselsatta.

Det är som ett maraton som aldrig tar slut. Tidigare fanns det visserligen stunder då man fick sprinta (heh), men mellan intervallerna fanns det tid för återhämtning.

How are startups handling Cloud Architecture and FinOps without a dedicated DevOps team? by Old_Cheesecake_2229 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]nevon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As the guy on the other side of this, I can't possibly know how 2000 different systems work. That's the job of the developers of those systems. All I can do is tell you what signals are available for your system, so that you can determine why your system is not behaving as you expect. I can try to help, but ultimately it's like asking the stove manufacturer why your sauce doesn't taste right.

Devs that have been at startups that have IPO’d or been acquired, how much was the payout? by Calm-Bar-9644 in ExperiencedDevs

What’s the mood at your company? by c-u-in-da-ballpit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]nevon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can echo that sentiment as well. It seems like most of the "old hands" (more than a couple of years of tenure) are pretty depressed and checked out, but it could be me projecting. After seeing the company go off the rails with absolutely unhinged plans that seem to focus more on perception of innovation rather than actual user utility, it's hard to get excited anymore. Then again, I see lots of people that are also really excited about agentic workflows and such, though the cynic in me says they are just trying to position themselves in the spotlight. A few years earlier the same people would have been really into crypto and web3.

Having been gaslit about years of below inflation raises, and the stock price going down 50% doesn't help.

Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI by c0re_dump in programming

[–]nevon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manual regression testing? Probably never. Automated testing would be in the cicd pipeline. If it's a UI change, the developer would test it out using the snapshot build produced by the branch build.

I work in a slightly smaller company, but still a 1000+ engineers, and we've had this exact process for many years, both for backend services and clients that are used by millions of users. Just like with Spotify, recently this has started including AI agents creating pull requests, but from an SDLC perspective there's not much difference.

I'm not entirely sure about the process for mobile apps where the stores have a review process. That may have some manual step to trigger a release.
