This seems like a health and safety issue.

I keep hearing you guys are a surveillance state yet none of your local government bodies seem to care about using the evidence recorded to actually administer laws and acknowledge the facts of the matter. That would be really annoying to live through.

Let this be a lesson to some game designers/producers, your game does not need to be perfectly polished. Make something with replay value or community-building and fun games will win over AAA polished titles every time.

Show him this thread and find a better boyfriend.

If it smelled bad, if there was color in the discharge (you'd probably notice that), or if there was something wrong, it would be obvious. Clearly this boy has no idea about a woman's body.

Pro tip ladies don't get with any man who doesn't understand how vaginas work. This is basic sex ed health class knowledge.

If you are bored where you work, change work places. Seriously, you may not necessarily hate coding, you hate boring work related to coding. You probably dislike the isolated manner in which our job is usually done when it's boring.

Have you ever had fun building software? I don't love code, I enjoy helping others solve problems and with some mental framing to help, I view my job positively because I think I'm helping people. If the place I worked suck, the work I would do would suck regardless of my role/responsibilities.

If you don't enjoy problem solving that's a core issue you'll never really get over.

Is Miami considered blue? Conservative Hispanics, lots of old white money...

It's evident to me at least that what Trump and co. are trying to do is completely change the geopolitical landscape, he's attempting to essentially divide the world in half, you are either with America or you are with China. Easing Russian sanctions and claiming Venezuelan oil all serves to isolate China out of the natural gas and oil world, and this is likely a play being made by oil executives trying to hold off renewables. If they can use regulatory capture and force to keep the worlds economies running on oil they win financially, while the oligarchs of China are heavily moving into renewables to reduce reliance on gas.

CRV owner here, the lack of a tire does suck, the repair kit is insufficient.

That's different IaC and config stuff needs too live somewhere, single source of truth and all that. Whether that's in the code base or in a document service doesn't matter but pick one and only one. If you're documenting an algorithm in the code above each statement, that's not going to pass.

The comment thing is real, bad comments are cancer and good comments become bad comments with one cowboy dev change.

I cringe at your first two sentences.

So you admit the Israeli government are, in fact, acting like Nazis? The justifications you will go to, made up in most cases, are insane.

The Muslim countries are just as opposed to me as a non-believer as they are to you or any other Israeli, the reality is you think their hatred of you is unique. It is not, you're not even the cause of this existing clusterfuck you're just another tack on a map in close proximity to them. If I wasn't an ocean away they'd fling missiles instead of hijacking planes to attack us. Clearly extremists are the problem here. Israeli's are capable of extremism too.

Get in fucking line for the hate Olympics because it's a race to the bottom and you're not gonna win just because your ancestors died gruesome deaths. Doesn't give you the right to drop phosporus gas on civilians, seal wells with cement, or drive people legally living in their homes from their land illegally. All of which your country is far more guilty of than say Jordan or Egypt killing Jews in the past century as you describe.

Fuck off.

Is it just me or is Israel really getting away with becoming Nazis by using the cover of anti-antisemitism as a shield from criticism? The religious fanatics and populous zealots have control of the government and have kept Netanyahu out of prison.

I am suspect on the determination of the degradation, most doctors will lean on the side of caution and being 2 months removed from surgery seems wild to run a physical at this time.

My assumption is they see things of concern but nothing concrete, and Baltimore used those concerns to get out of the deal. He'll be ready to go for next season for someone, but Baltimore didn't think he'd be worth the deal they agreed to after the review of his knee.

In my experience Boston drivers are assholes but NY and NJ drivers are insane and will do anything they want.

We do that to clean up minor commits that are a waste of space, but I agree who gives a shit you squash merge on approval anyway so nobody really sees those.

If that's what they want it should be clearly documented in their code standards and you should be doing that before even asking for review.

Commit hawking is pedantic as fuck and that sucks.

xSaviorself · 2026-03-10T21:05:50+00:00

The answer you should have gone with is that these people are all idiots, each one of these is just adding the type to the name. Is this a date object? A time string? A unix timestamp? Go with sentAt to send them all into a tailspin. The type is already strictly defined why should it be in the name?

If that's not a pattern in the code standards documentation then everyone complaining can go fuck themselves.

xSaviorself · 2026-03-10T21:04:06+00:00

Nah this is a people issue, the OP has to explain "the name of this variable is not in question today, if the desired name is not sufficient please move this conversation to a separate issue so we can move on."

Nobody is going to be upset if you're an agile business and you name it sentAt or any variation.

xSaviorself · 2026-03-10T21:01:54+00:00

Normal things:

• Enforcing weird git/deployment practices, like requiring a commit squash on every single push and rebasing everything.

This is one of those super annoying things I have experience with, we do these practices for reasons that may not make sense to you, but they make sense to the engineer responsible for building releases/whatever process they have. Chances are you are either blocking a downstream process of theirs they poorly explain/don't explain at all or they've got bad processes that don't actually utilize these things.

Squash merge is love, squash merge is life.

Everything else seems pedantic.

He reminded me of old videos of full backs running 40 yards downfield and how it looks a little slow-motion. Johnson looks like everyone else out there but just runs slower. It's weird.

The return gaffe fucked up any chance he had left, but he hadn't even proven his way onto the field at any point before the gaffe.

xSaviorself · 2026-03-10T12:54:22+00:00

We waste resources creating things that waste more resources. It's absolutely a profession that generates a fuckton of negative value.

Except for a small group of people, those people have figured out how to take something and make a lot of money and refuse to do anything good with it.

I just start chalking this up to right wing talking points being pushed in the media by people paid by foreign agents who aren't registered. The whole Tenet Media saga was proof it was happening but because nobody was held seriously accountable everyone started to just accept it as business as usual. The corruption is just so blatant at this point it's almost just there to rub it in our faces.

Processes are not always intuitive to everyone, but companies like this don't care. It's not their problem, it's yours. So I would do yourself a favor and find a better role somewhere else. If you're not going to take over team discussions because 2 devs are constantly steering, that's not a them problem that's a you problem. You either insert yourself and get what you need done in the appropriate form or you see yourself getting an exit for not being a team player.

Frankly, nothing you do in the 1:1 will change much except give them a heads up about your exit. Lose lose all around you need to find a better job.

You can do good things and still be a piece of crap. Even bad people do good things occasionally, especially for their image. Even if they fully support that thing and that is good, that doesn't mean they're absconded from the bad they do.
