Guess who just spent the entire day before launch debugging why compose doesn't work on an ec2 instance where I DIDN"T INSTALL FUCKING DOCKER

I guess this is the key difference between me and seniors. Seniors know where to look where shit breaks because they have been breaking it for at least 5 years.

    Haha, they've been breaking shit for years.
    Maybe we need to start eating Dev's by quantity of shit they've broken (and repaired) than pure years 🤣

    @ojuskul 80% of any dev work is fixing shit whether you broke it, someone else, or it simply aged badly, so years translate to experience really well

    @ojuskul At least with the seniors I've met, the time it took them to figure out what i fucked up was roughly inverse proportional to years in industry.

    You’re actually quite correct on knowing what breaks the other is knowing code shortcuts looking at every language as the same and thoroughly reading the docs and knowing what not to volunteer for lol

    Mindset and familiarity with consistently obsoleted information is what experience adds

    However knowing what was helps too

    @MadMadMadMrMim Experience isn't about the information you have acquired, that will indeed mostly be deprecated in 5 years. Experience is about having an intuition for the ways in which automated systems tend to work or break.

    @homo-lorens that was included in mindset and earlier comment
    😋

    Unfortunately some of that intuition can be blunted

    The five year thing was a joke about tech in general
    Wave if you’re still real
