@sariel It reads like a boast but the contents are just so sad did I miss some sarcasm? Do you genuinly want to live like that?

Now I imagine everywhere you go Staying alive by Bee Gees playing.
Obv with the line ladies-man changed to gents-man

I used it for awhile but it has so many crappy features that it doesn't work. I also had to re-install i 3 times on my linux. I thought I wanted it because of git integration but I realised I much rather do git by command line

Now I'm just using sublime and so far it seems really nice.

Yeah finishing a degree can be challenging when no-one seems to care if you finished or not when you are a developer.

I did do my thesis but I have roughly a semesters worth of course exams I never passed

@kurast That is honestly just terrible would be kinda mad if someone purposly made me spend that much time in the office with litteraly zero things to do.

@ojt-rant
C'mon man dont be populist. Don't simplify complex problems. You totally glance over things like what immense ripple effects in the market Europe going totally green would have. These things are for example if a large coal producer stops breaking coal it will have major impact. Or how more installs are pushing down the price on solar and wind technology making it much more interesting in other markets than EU(that one is already happening)

Don't simplify things, since you hang here I know you are smart enough to see the flaws in the argument you present

@kiki

"Art is art even with out an observer" is hardly a valid reasoning without expanding on it. It is just a statement without reasoning. If you genuinly want to discuss Im genuinly curious about hearing more about your view. I love this stuff, It's through discussions like this worldviews and ideologies are made.

Can you expand upon why a creation has value(is art) even if no-one is watching it? Do I understand what you answered above you believe actual value lies only in the perfection of creation according to it's creators views. As it sounds like from what you say something can't be art if the artist isn't pleased with it or does it for money. Which for example disqualifies most works of masters and perfectionists but also paid proffesionals like Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Picasso.

In opposite of your definition this emotion driven definition puts the definition of art in the eyes of the beholder (And ro some extent that there need to be created with intent I guess). But the admirer includes the artist, so it is in practice enough that the artwork can invoke a feeling in the artist themself to count as an artwork

pt 2/2

Years ago I read someone attempting to describe it as 'art is something that attempts to evoke emotion in its intended admirer'. And after plenty of thought I've choosen to adhere to that definition.

As in any philosophical discussion definitions are extremely important for fruitful discourse. So I will attempt to explain the meaning I lay in the word "emotion" here.

An emotion in this sense is part the obvious ones disgust/joy/anger/nostalgia etc... But it should also include the more abstract emotion humans get from admiring "beauty" like pleasing/uppsetting patterns. While I've never personally been a fan of abstract art this definition of emotion allows us to include those artist. Consciously or unconsciously their artwork with angles/colors/surfaces affect our mind at very basic levels.

@Midnight-shcode Hahah yeah I had kinda the same scenario in mind tbh.

I honestly think that if something serious had happned to the CTO there I could have just faked my way through working there if that would have been something I wanted

Good news! I finally was refered to someone with some pull. He had to write all the other project leaders and they assigned me to the team they "reasonably suspect" I'm supposed to be in...maybe. No-one knows for sure until the CTO is back.

@bittersweet Fuck yes someone agrees with me. Email is a scourge on the modern world.

You cant even follow a conversation beacuse some technically illiterate person decides to answer a different mail than the last one in the conversation chain

@PepeTheFrog
Ughh...this just stacks on why I want to be self employed. I can't handle the monkey buisness. How can so many people in technology sector base so much of their work on non-factually based claims

We have no quantative gathering of data for our product at all. Sometimes we get these bugs that makes me belive it is the first customer that ever used the function. Several features are probably unused. We have no way of knowing

Fuck gathering personal data but can we atleast get something...

I have like 5 courses left to get my masters degree and feel very unmotivated to get them as I have been working as a software developer now for two years amd the courses I have left are very unrelated. Im just careful to not set and end date to my education on my CV or just flat out write with a note "not finished"

@PepeTheFrog I think you are correct. Some in management when working from home have a much harder reason to find their "reason to exist" within the company. I suspect some(not all) in fill their days with a huge amount of unnecessary long meetings.Meetings over teams tend to go more to the point. I think those people push coming back to work because they consciously (or subconsciously) realize that they are not needed atleast not for the fulltime job they get paid for.

@Floydimus Ohh okay! It was probably the wording somehow that I remember that sounded like it was different teams. No worries we all need to vent! Was just curious

Indeed. People use it like a boasting facebook boomer on steroids.

Ans what is the point? You think recruiters even look at you linked in wall? Ffs they will read half your skills at most and then send you copy pasta

You post a lot and I've seen lots of your rants and I'm in some confusion...are you changing jobs constantly or moving around internally? It seems like every few months you are with a new team that are assholes.

Tests? What are these test? Our company don't do those. Well we have like five automatic tests that check that the product doesn't crash on startup. And then like three physical testers that are supposed to verify every buggfix and new releases. They are perhaps lke 8months behind on testing so we are basicly just sending untested releases.

But we are operating a quality first buisness according to our website

@LOLjustCoding It is so ridicilous it almost gets hard to explain.

Legacy code is just old code. Written long ago. It's not an exact science what is legacy or not.

What they don't realize that they are asking for is basically a config file that automatically writes code. Basically an AI coder.

Well in all honesty I will probably not call anyone. Just complain and then maybe look for a new job

Not sure what you are getting at. Somewhat simplified, overlearning to my knowledge is when you learn a unwanted pattern of your input data.

I.e insted of learning how cats look it learns cat faces because data was not balanced between views of cats from all sides. So it wont perform well on a different dataset of cats that does not have this imbalance.

I love it

Because that is all companies ever do today. Generational bussiness is a thing of the past. Companies now only try to earn more next quarter than the one before. If they fail as a conpany by the end of the year is irrelevant.

Yeah working alone you really gotta love all of it. I love creating the assets and painting textures so that is not my issue but personally it is the testing and optimization of code I find a bit dull. It becomes rather repetetive

Ohh good yeees I relate to the complexity for complexitys sake. I have a colleague that have on several occasions wrote functions like:

CallWrite(text)
{
Write(text)
}

And no write is NOT a private function in this scenario so there is absolutley NO reason why write could not have been called from where CallWrite is called. How the hell do you even come up with this shit?

That's one of the main things our big unions does here in sweden. They keep statistics over average salaries compared to age and work experience in that field. So everyone can have something to stand on when negotiating salary.

But I think the hush-hush culture is loosening up somewhat compared to older generations, but that could just be confirmation bias from my part

After a while the logic seems obvious. And when you reach that spot you will never forget it again. You might have to look up the exact syntax for a terminal command but you will understand exactly which one you need to use. Just keep it up :)

Im not very shy in conversations but for my job interview my (now boss) asked me about 3 separate technologies/protocols and how well I knew them. I answered every question with an honest "I've heard about it and that's about it" but emphazised that I'm more than willing to learn. Learning more is one the main driving force for me (and should be one of the main for anyone in software) and as long as you feel that way you should always bring that up. I think he appreciated my honesty and I got the job in the end. Just dont parade your flaws but do not lie about what you know. Then again how to act in an interview is culturally bound so I can't really say. I've for example heard horror stories from Indian field colleagues about how they had to behave on the Indian jobmarket so in the end I would get someone from your country to help you with how to navigate an interview.
