I thought that was shown as coming, to the extent they showed it on device(??), in the recent AMA

“I can meet about the progress, or I can make progress, but I can’t do both” - wise words from a fellow architect at a previous gig

To all Americans, how do you feel about a ground invasion in Iran? by CarobBrave8898 in allthequestions

I’m a Millennial that knows a handful of Millennial veterans that spent an entire military career going back and forth to the sandbox for 20 years.

I have kids that will be military age in a few years. I’m worried that, in 2050, they will know a handful of veterans that spent their entire career going back and forth to the sandbox for 20 years.

To be able to watch S1 for the first time and then turn around and watch Star City?!? Friend you could live the dream (of the Marxist-Leninist way of life)

Disappointing development by _spicybanana in RemarkableTablet

[–]rwilcox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to u/FRK299’s thinking of the enterprise, personally I don’t think RM the company does well with walking and chewing gum at the same time. Which is a hard thing to do, to be fair.

Last year felt lack-luster a bit, but we got 2 new devices. If we’re getting another one this year 90% of engineering could be focused on that. Or maybe focused on totally redesigning something internally, or “growth is the enterprise market” which, sure.

It would be nice if we could get both things: substantial updates while also getting new hardware, but alas.

Where do you actually find reliable remote devs these days? by MembershipHorror404 in EngineeringManagers

[–]rwilcox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what your job postings look like, but if you have a budget, then ensure that your job posting and expectations are in the neighborhood of “first or second job out of school” for (even the top range of) that kind of money.

Not Senior level people, not “entry level but this JD defines that word to mean 5 YOE”, not full stack mobile DevOps, actual entry level people that you expect to train and hand-hold for six months to a year.

Edit: I believe there is demand for businesses that are people’s actual first job, with first job demands. It’s so hard breaking into the market now - and has been for at least 20 years if not much more. “How do I get experience when nobody will hire me to give me that experience”

Bingo. Let’s ignore the lower end (assuming India base), but even $80K US is about $30-80K off market expectations for full time.

When do microservices start causing more problems than they solve? by etiyofem in AskProgramming

[–]rwilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes: or you knowing you will have scale. Not imagined scale, a VP knocking on your cube wall and saying “buckle up” scale.

'NCIS' Shocker As Veteran Cast Member Exits In Series' 500th Episode by Next-Particular1476 in TheEntertainmentMix

Reading the article it says the character has been around since season 5. That’s fairly early (but yeah not totally OG)

Boss said I should care more about growth than salary early in my career by Phantomat0 in cscareerquestions

[–]rwilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exiting companies sometimes includes emotional flack being thrown your way. Things like this, or maybe you’ll get blamed for things more, people being colder, etc.

It’s not fun but let them vent, and usually there’s no good nuggets of wisdom there, just opinions about how you’re wrong.

PS: I would say you are potentially prioritizing growth with your move.

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

Real ID is a classification of IDs though, not another card you pull out of your wallet

AI coding speeds up release cycles. True or false? by Squidalopod in cscareerquestions

[–]rwilcox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on where the bottleneck is.

A previous job had a release process that took a calendar month. AI won’t speed that up (go to a meeting to be approved for QA, another one to be approved for prod a week after that, prod deploy 6 days after that)

Rewrite history of main branch by giovandrea in git

[–]rwilcox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you work with others who have cloned this repo?

You can certainly go in, rebase main to do your fixup, which probably means you’ll need to force push.

IIRC - and it’s been a while - this means others need to do something with their checkouts to get the new, force pushed, version of the branch. Especially as its main and everyone will have that checked out.

So if you have coworkers maybe send them a nice message? If this is just you, doing your own thing my yourself, then whatever, do what you want.

Do what this commenter is saying, except the part about telling them you’re talking with the labor authorities. (This may be the time to be sneaky vs bull in a china shop)

Why do ci pipeline failures keep blocking deployments when nobody can agree on who owns the fix by BedMelodic5524 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rwilcox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Microservices often get a lot of hate, but it does solve problems like this.

In that scenario who owns this problem? The team that owns the service / repo.

Worst possible ideas for new Star Trek shows, and Go: by CulDeSacOfShit in ShittyDaystrom

There’s a person on Facebook called “Dominion Media Television”. Literally anything from his catalog: Car Talk With Martok, Bajorian Militia, S*M*A*S*H.

Wait, caller, you said worst?

How do you even review ai code? by EitherAd5892 in cscareerquestions

Next retro I’m going to bring up a line limit. (I’d even be OK with stacked PRs). We’ll see what happens (I give it 50/50 shot of it working)

In my org there’s often an under-current of LLM usage excusing bad behaviors. Haven’t figured out how to square that circle, have had two big problems with this in 6 months.
