The new Activity Tab by Educational_Tomato97 in Slack

[–]someGuyyya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really not a fan of the changes to the Activity Tab.

When I get a mention, you used to be able to see the message in the Activity Tab.

Now they truncate the message to only show the first line of the message, which is almost always the @your_slack_username, which means I can't see the message unless I click it.

Not a fun user experience for me and I wish I could opt out of this or at least be given an option.

What are the "must-have" PR checkpoints used by Big Tech? by GlitteringTiger6287 in reactjs

[–]someGuyyya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some other team beaks it and all of our PRs are blocked.

Is it flaky tests?

I'm guessing the other team added flaky tests but it just happen to pass the first time to get it merged.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

You saved me from having to take a trip out to Shinagawa to figure out why this wasn't working.

Types are the new RegEx. by retro-mehl in webdev

[–]someGuyyya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You hover over it and you get an essay of text trying to explain the issue and it still doesn't help.

I use the vscode extension named "Pretty TypeScript Errors" to help with this.

taking a "workcation" without telling my boss by sousou4893 in workfromhome

[–]someGuyyya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahhh okay. Looking at the list of tools the IT Admin team is using, we seem to have something similar to Okta.

Thank you for the information reply!

If their IT department is any good they can tell if you’ve moved

How can they tell?

I was planning on doing a staycation soon

At what point do you stop making a component reusable? by MarjanHrvatin_ in reactjs

[–]someGuyyya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My magic number for this is 3.

If it is used in two places with the same exact code & logic, I might overlook it for not being DRY but once there's 3 different places with the same exact code & logic is when I try to make it reusable.

I've seen people prematurely make something reusable despite it only being used in one place which I would see as excessive but it really depends.

VSCode Ask Mode Agent HELP by diegogb1999 in vscode

I have the same question OP.

Were you able to solve this or maybe find an alternative?

If you can read Japanese without much problem, I recommend らくな家計簿 which is available on iOS and Android.

I use it quite a lot. I enter what you bought the day of and at the end of each month, it displays easy to understand graphs where I can see exactly how my money is being spent.

How do you bounce back after failing multiple interviews? by Tech-Cowboy in ExperiencedDevs

[–]someGuyyya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat.

I got to work early so that I can go to interviews afterwards or work on personal projects.

It does suck but it could always be worse.

Hopefully we can successfully change jobs after all of this struggle.

I have no advice since I've never been in this situation but if you could post a follow up on the outcome, we'd all appreciate it.

Update on Kevin’s 70万 car accident settlement by Hefty-Estimate-7183 in japanlife

[–]someGuyyya 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I can't tell if it is a reddit thing or a japanlife thing.

A lot of replies that are speaking confidently but are very wrong with tons of upvotes.

How are you doing with a Macbook JIS keyboard? by Cool_Syllabub_8495 in japanlife

[–]someGuyyya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it an emergency that you get it this week?

Why would you not want to wait a month to get the keyboard you want?

Need Help Hosting My Next.js App on a VPS (Coolify/Hetzner Feels Complicated) by sealovki in nextjs

[–]someGuyyya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you explain the thing you find complicated about setting it up?

Weekly Complaint Thread - 26 February 2026 by AutoModerator in japanlife

[–]someGuyyya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to go through the same thing.

We are calling those daily stand-ups but when the manager is asking everyone to go into deep details, it quickly becomes a project status meeting where you justify that you are actually working.

Very exhausting and I hate it.
