Shouldn't we always be cloud agnostic?

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.

I don't think signing up to LinkedIn has ever resulted in anything but being stalked by recruiters.

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...

Azure DevOps pipelines unavailable === early beer

Lead Developer = Peace maker

If it's not Senior Developers fighting it's architects.

Senior Developers should be able to work together without fighting.

When someone actually commented on my pull request, rather than just clicking approve without reading it.

It's 35 degrees. Reviewing pull requests or finding a beer garden was the easiest decision of my career.

Resetting Windows takes forever!

I'm on holiday this week. I'm also doing everything in my power to resist checking Slack to see what's going on.

Must...switch...off...

Doesn't matter how many years I do this job, a merge conflict will always stop my heart for a good few seconds.

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.

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!

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!

Anyone know any good free courses to learn programming for a total beginner?

GitOps. Discuss?

AKS randomly fails preventing access to clusters. Is it just me or is AKS totally unreliable?!

Should I be delighted or worried that I need to learn Kubernetes?

The hardest thing about video conferencing is trying to look interested and not react to stupid comments for two hours straight.
