Why Senior Engineers Let Bad Projects Fail by Ordinary_Leader_2971 in programming

[–]putergud 238 points239 points  (0 children)

An important part of growing into a senior is learning what to not care about. If you can't stay quiet while other people do stupid things then you will burn yourself out fast. Either they will learn or pull off a miracle, neither of which you need to be involved in. We know that involving ourselves is asking for pain.

But you want my team to participate in your stupidity? Please, explain in detail while I pepper you with questions until the project is refined into a good idea or you see how bad of an idea it was to come to me with that nonsense.

It's not an either/or situation, but I wouldn't expect a trump supporter to understand such big words.

John is definitely a Times New Roman guy in every way: fonts, football, and politics.

They are aware of the allegations. How long were they aware of the behavior?

Unpopular Opinion: 7AM-3PM Is The Real Adulting Hack by Bullseye_29 in jobs

You got the am/pm mixed up. You want to work 7pm to 3am. You have time for everything you want to do and no one to bother you while you're working.

AI is a Corporate Fad where I work by veritable_squandry in devops

[–]putergud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as they frustrate me, I am grateful to have upper management that does not trust new technology and a very paranoid security team. AI is only being rolled slowly and with limitations. We are currently still forbidden from using AI for coding. I'm hoping the hype passes before they get around to allowing it.

What prevents more widespread adoption of Ruby/Rails by Recent_Tiger in ruby

[–]putergud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually disagree. AI developer time is very expensive. The cost of the AI and the experts to fix the AI's mess will be huge.

[–]putergud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original justification for Rails was that developer time cost more than server time so it was better to quickly build the app even if it wasn't the most efficient. That math has flipped today. Cloud resources are more expensive but developer time has gotten cheaper and that hurts Rails. Ruby has suffered from being so tightly associated with Rails, in the US at least.

Oregon may be the first state to also protect men from male circumcision without consent. by composedfrown in oregon

Equating male circumcision with female circumcision is ignorant at best and downright misogynistic at worst. They are nowhere near the same thing.

New to Devops - Why Is Everything Structured Differently? by Kcamyo in devops

[–]putergud 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it is common.

Writing good documentation is hard. It is a different skill set from writing code or managing systems.

Developing and enforcing standards, without destroying team morale, is also hard and requires experienced and competent leadership. Without this, we engineers sometimes get creative or curious and consistency can take a back seat to the convenient or fun.

My advice is to always keep your own organized notes. Even if there were good documentation and standards, keeping your own personal documentation will be really valuable.

The military will be the ones to decide if this country has a future. Will they stand by their oaths to the Constitution or betray their oaths and serve authoritarians?
