Ops teams that are "assuring" stability of production by being the only ones who can click to deploy to Prod add no value.1

AWS write awful docs. The .Net SQS example code has spelling mistakes, bits missing and doesn't work.
Also would be helpful if it highlighted that the .Net Core implementation is fundamentally different.

Spent two hours trying to work out why a Kubernetes pod wouldn't apply it's database migration when it works in every other environment. Turns out the database instance was powered off. Piss biscuits.

Converting all my side projects from C# .Net Framework to C# .Net Core (or Node.js) is a rewarding but long process.7

Developer confession.
I always git push a new branch even though I know it will error as there's no upstream, just to copy the full git push with set upstream arguments from the error message.11 -
I don't think signing up to LinkedIn has ever resulted in anything but being stalked by recruiters.6

Team of developers suggest one of our legacy services is a nightmare to maintain, terrible to develop on top of and is fundamentally wrong in terms of data and application structure.
They are 100% correct and I fully endorse their request to redevelop it.
I'm less enthusiastic that their new version is much worse than the original...1 -

Had a five hour long debate with one of our Senior Developers today about pull request etiquette.
His view was reviewers should always email or call him before adding comments to any of his requests and they should never block them as he should be allowed to code in "his own style" and should be able to approve his own pull requests.
I explained that we have code standards and an agreed PR workflow be needs to comply with.
He then started talking about meteors and plane crashes. Literally no helping some people.18 -
Everyone complains that a certain developer's code is not up to standard and when they have to take over his project the lack of code quality is really slowing them down.
I look at code, agree it is poor quality and put together a learning plan for said developer.
Also look at who approved every pull request which allowed bad code into our codebase. Same developers as those complaining it's no good. You had your chance to stop it!7 -
Developer creates pull request.
I hold suggesting changes.
Developer creates new branch and new pull request with exactly the same commit.
Another Senior developer approves pull request.
This will be discussed tomorrow morning!29 -
Anyone know any good free courses to learn programming for a total beginner?

Azure DevOps Bash script task hangs for no reason. This will be in my dreams tonight.
