Don't use my idea.

What percentage of your time is spent actuslly coding?

In a week, I spend not more than 1 full working day writing codes. The rest is spent doing PoCs, designing (LLD and rarely HLD), solutioning and deployment.

Why is Java goto language for most backend systems, distributed and scalable, specially in big organizations like Amazon?

When I joined devRant 4 years ago, still in University, every other rant here seemed so high level.

Now that I'm in the industry for a little more tha. 2 years, every other rant seems University level xD

WFH vs Office, what will be your preference in a post covid world?

I'm sure after the covid saga ends, there will be a plethora of remote and WFH opportunities since businesses are now ready for it. Most big companies in our place (Like Microsoft, Google, Amazon) have extended WFH till June/July, and Microsoft even said it's gonna be way more flexible in letting ppl WFH

Anyone knows how a wildly cluster works with TCPPING

Don't kill me.

Covid rant
I had my last day at previous job in mid Jan, and 1st day at new job, thousands of km accross the country, in another city, in Feb.

I had great difficulty in finding an apartment that's decent and close to my office. Finally got one with a hefty rent for 1BHK, hefty brokerage and a hefty sum as security deposit; in March. Within a week, I spent shit load of money buying things, like a new fridge, washing machine, chair, table etc...

Didn't live there for 7 days, as soon as the lockdown started.
Every month my heart shatters paying the rent :(
17.5k INR :(

Agree?

How do I get ideas of side projects to help my growth?
2 yrs of exp as backend developer.

Who are these people?
Who have side projects?
Where do they find the time?
Where do they get the motivation from?
Where do they get ideas from?

My manager recently created an android game as a side project... He also suggested me to have side projects if I wanna grow fast :/

I, wake up, pick up some motivation to finish office work (which I actually like) and it's already evening!

Is something wrong with me?

What would be the Rule 34 of programming?

Six ch

Exceptions are always there in any society.
A good society is the one that treats them well.

When you do a microproject on some framework, make sure you know how it works, as in, know what you've written rather than blindly copying from tutorials, stackoverflow or documentations.

After working on Python (Flask and alembic) I switched jobs. Now I'm on Java (DropWizard and Hibernate)... Now I realise how easy Python was.

Manager in stand-up: So what's the update?
Me: Quack quack.

As someone who isn't that much of a people's person (like a lot of coders), how difficult is it to manage a relationship? (as in a romantic one)

Mandatory WFH for everyone for the next 3 days.

I have just this weekend moved to a new apartment and haven't got WiFi yet. :/

I graduated from a non elite institute, from non CS branch. I was working in a not so know startup. It was so difficult to get referrals at big orgs like Amazon, Flipkart...

Now that I'm already in Flipkart, atleast 1 recruiter contacts me each day with openings in the best companies in India... Seriously wth, I made a switch a month ago!

Pro tip by a Noobie: Whenever you use an open sourced software, and set it up using some tutorial, make sure you download the latest distribution.

Wasted 2 days fixing something while setting up KeyCloak, eventually downloaded the latest version and worked fine. There was a bug in KeyCloak apparently.

Happened the same 2 and a half years ago trying to write node scripts for ElasticSearch, using an older ES library -_-

Indian housing market literally exploits bachelors who look to take a house on rent. Motherfucking retards!

If coding is fun then your job (Backend Developer) should be fun right?

No.
You have to setup projects which isn't fun.
You have to setup tools which isn't fun.
You have to write unit tests which isn't fun.
You have to learn to use some frameworks which may not be fun.

When you ask a nice question on StackOverflow, everyone ignores it...
When you ask a dumb one, they shower downvotes -_-

So, I get this super awesome machine, a hardware which was my dream to use for gaming...

2.2Ghz i7, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 4GB Radeon Pro 555X, and SSD.

But...

Its a Mac. Nevermind, CSGO is there for Mac.
The IT dept has some weird shit on this laptop that can sense if I'm doing something wrong 🙄

Why could they not spare us?

So... I just switched...
2.9 times the previous basic salary, 1.5 times variable pay, one time stocks (conditions are there) amounting to 91% of my previous fixed pay.

I'm happy.

For the first time apart from Data Structures and Algorithms, there was a Machine Coding round where they asked me to create a small app using any language without data persistence or GUI, to see my code designing ability, LLD, code quality, whether I can implement OOP and write modular code and to see how extensible my code will be.

I did well.

If being late can be marked as "half day leave"; should leaving early also be marked as "half day leave"?

On a side note, my company already has just 3.4 out of 5 ratings on the basis of 3 ratings, on glassdoor... Now they're messing up with 2 employees on notice period. Both of us are planning to give 1. :)
