Talk to them about it.

If no improvement talk to my boss.

Ultimately accept that they will not be sacked or moved to another team working on low priority tasks because that would involve a manager having to do something difficult

Take matters into my own hands so that they never get to work alone on a task or work on anything that matters ensuring the company pays someone for doing nothing which is preferable to the company paying someone to fuck everything up

I've written a text generating app that uses chat gpt. It was ok, it created something when something is better than nothing.

I use chatgpt for work when I get stuck on the kind of difficult problem I know only 1 other senior in my company will know what I'm talking about. It fails me 100% of the time. But sometimes it works as a rubber duck.

@ostream OP should bend over

Where I work there is an informal policy that a candidate must present themselves as being a `i want to get towards something` person, rather than `i want to get away from where I am` person.

I only change jobs because I want to get away, so I dont agree with it, but people don't get hired if they come across that way.

@no-oxygen your interviewer should have been fired

@Jifuna even if it could be followed, this is how people burn out, lose their ability to think straight, give up on it all and drop off the radar for 2 years.

OP should aim for half that amount of time, assuming there isn't another job on top.

Books

Stick to your day job

Not worth replying on this thread more. OP made their mind up.

@Meleeman I don't believe that a linter will help because it's not the coding style that is wrong but just incorrect property names. But yes we should use a linter too lol

@Meleeman I find the majority of mistakes I make are because I have a typo in a property name, or a contract was changed slightly in one place but not another. In a team setting those are also the bugs I usually see the most often. Anything that gives me more IDE support and build time errors instead of runtime is a good thing for me.

@Meleeman the amount of code doesn't matter, ability to understand and make changes that are correct at a good speed is what matters

I don't there are cases where typescript won't help

@lorentz some universities are terrible. Mine was so bad people could pass computer science only knowing how if statements and for loops work

@Crost then I used box sizing in css so that padding didn't throw things off

@phat-lasagna that's what I used to do. If they're desktop screens then resize to 1920 width, use percentage until it hits the pixels requested.

Yes. Waste of time.

Generating electricity can be made quite efficient and clean, and putting in place infrastructure to fuel electric cars is a big step forward. If the infrastructure is setup, and sales increase, then there is more market for electric cars and more funding to improve the technology

@Grumm agreed but 100% every day for years is too much for me.

Not like they give 100% for me. And it is an exchange being an employee. I work for them instead of another company (that probably will pay more) in exchange for money, learning opportunities and enjoying my work. It's not just money, and most companies don't give a fuck about the other two so they aren't giving me 100%.

If you're a contractor that's different

People need to read what programmers in the last 20 years have learned eg Robert Martin, Martin Fowler, Eric Evans.

Most senior developers make it up as they go and invent their own anti patterns that they don't even understand the repercussions of.

You have to at least have some idea of text book approaches to know what is good enough...

Most Devs seem to start off thinking "I'm going to write some absolute garbage, now let's see which things need to be better". It should be "I'm going to write something good following beat practices and principles, now where does it not make sense to put that effort in"

@IntrusionCM entity framework. Sorry sometimes I forget the world is not .net xD

@IntrusionCM even with EF you get a single record put and represent it with an object. But I guess the ORM itself represents single records then.

Thanks

If you don't mind explaining, what problems does it cause? I've never heard of an active record ORM but Google says it's data stored in memory

If you are team lead break down stories into very small takes that there is no doubt will take a day or less. If you can't break the story down that small then the story isn't clear enough and not fit to work on.

Make standups turns saying what has been achieved.

Watch how people start being awkward and being completely unable to say what they did.

I have done this before. The problem corrected itself because people understood I, and everyone in the team, are coming into standup saying they achieved 10 things... We can all see who achieved 0 things

@aviophile Nope

I would have far less patience if that was my motivation

Apples and oranges

Rookie numbers

@corscheid I think it depends where you live in the world

It's the aspect of the job that wears me down.

I am so tired of converting spaghetti into requirements

@rantydev last time you implemented your own hashing algorithm? Or the others
