Oh my g... I just realized that in my latest job interviews I sound exactly like Peter from Office Space... flat, bitter, sarcastic and a painful desperation in my voice. lmao

It sounds like there is an int overflow!

It also sounds like my previous job. Vague specs, figure it out yourself,

missyncs, careless people. AI slop.

Yes, all relatable and understandable.

@cafecortado Maybe.

Tf man, this is like reading Palpatine. LOL

But yeah.. stop loading upon tab switch seems counterintuitive to the web.

@djsumdog @djsumdog Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Hmm.. I think it's a groundhog, perhaps, based on habitat.

Why does it suck being employed now?

Continued doomscrolling.

@BordedDev But it would not allow x-domain connectionzzzzz. Ok anyway lol.

@BordedDev No, it's when in the movie Demolition Man (1993, Stallone, Snipes) the underground resistance people in the future had to make burgers out of rats because eating animal meat was outlawed (as they understood fats killed people faster).

Doesn't sound good. Here is the lol image to go with it:

@BordedDev If you have physical access, then it can be compromised easier, but what if you don't? Do you know all the network layers to such a degree that you can bypass a series of updated hardware firewalls, dip into a VLAN past its security and then finally find the env locations? The atomic clock has its systems offline so no one can connect to it, if I recall. Heheh.

@BordedDev "This is a rat burger?"

More like "Here to take more".

@BordedDev But.. tf. What dev puts secrets in a public place that's not extremely reinforced, e.g. in the ultra-protected private cloud, or better yet, offline? lol

@jestdotty Hm... I only sometimes do that. Mostly I'm just directly honest, not to my benefit. lol

@jestdotty gladiatorrrr

I prefer theoretical + practice. Engage until expertise is not what I found out, but I was in consulting, so that's a different story. I never got enough time for anything - always splintered, always quick wins that amounted to nothing.

Yes, jestdotty, I know that feeling. Ahh, no more bleep, no more bloop, just... peace and quiet.

@BordedDev So easy to decryptz that. lol

@galena Hmmmm, but you got the fundamentals already.

@jestdotty @jestdotty lol. You're blazing fast.

It becomes difficult when you have to incrementally keep all that logic in your head. It becomes a bit easier when you treat it in chunks, but still.. If some senior dev decided to write it in their own way, you will spit out a lot of wtfs.

Ah yeah, configs - interesting to think about. Perhaps changing to utf8_collate or something? lol. The way I did it was setting indexes for my queries.

Yes, big queries are a matter of time, and it becomes frustrating when your manager is breathing down your neck they want a result by end of day because their responsible ass sold that to the client.

Designing data is indeed quite a skill on its own and I think it requires deep fundamentals and awareness, which is something I want to further develop.

Note to reader: this post and my comments were infused by coffee. lmao

@jestdotty Yes, in big corp you're just a number, sadly.

We had a policy where we wouldn't be allowed to put PI or PII in code. Yes, @author.

lmao. And we had a policy as well where the dev's data would be completely erased, like they never existed.

I want to run awayyyy ♫

@jestdotty Rule-breakerrrrrr. lol. Hm, what can we extrapolate from this. ;p

@Lensflare Yeah.. and then you have to go ask them, which isn't fun when they're densely conceited assholes...

@Lensflare This is what such a query would look like, by the way (I generated it with GenAI):

https://pastebin.com/SuzG7A7C

These would be the daily struggle us devs would have to deal with. I'd see colleagues of mine struggle three entire days on 1/10th of a query like that. I struggled as well. lol. That's what you get with the consulting scam, putting devs in positions they're not prepared for at all.

@Lensflare And so, you could perhaps quickly understand a huge SQL query that doesn't even fit on a 4K res? I've seen such a query from a client. It was.. maddening to me. Multiple-table joins with tens of columns and dialect-specific syntax... and no formatting (but yeah, you can fix that one), or if they are a 'fun' client, they will ask you not to use any other client than their proprietary (crappy) one. lmao

As a level 1a, it would take me at least half a day to understand such a query. I admire those who can just glance at it and get it.

And yeah, I may understand your dislike for it.

They asked me to do this at my previous company and instead of delivering great work, I lost 4 days constantly battling the results.

@D-4got10-01 I did.

@jestdotty It seems to be Phytoncides.
