Thanks for the input all. With us is more of a personal preference rather than anything else. There is one person that has a strong opinion on how things should be done. We keep breaking things because of this refactoring and we are not doing it properly by adhering to any standards other than what is in that person’s head. I am tired of dealing with it and having to prove that person wrong all the time. So common sense is what’s needed there I think. We’re all with 10-15 years plus experience. I haven’t signed up for babysitting

We started Trunk Based Development with Shift Left approach meaning developers test their own code during PRs and our main branch should be always in releasable state. Problem is the only metric we get judged on is crash free rates. Since we started with the refactoring our crash free sessions dropped and we keep doing the refactoring. I am at a point where I think I must be going insane as the description of insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results. Keep saying we should separate refactoring from features and mitigate the risks but no people are saying we are testing everything on our PRs so we should be fine. Stats don’t lie and paint a different picture. We do refactoring unrelated to the features or ticket only because we are in the same file, service or model.

@Demolishun is this bank by any chance. This was the norm when I used to for one. 10 years ago they were still running on Windows XP and only upgraded ro Vista before I left

@IHateForALiving @tosensei that’s not serious. Those people should be put on improvement plan if not sacked

Do people actually blame GPT for their own mistakes?

Might need to create a separate bot just to downvote his ringpiece related nonsense. Literally every single one of his posts to be exact

This dude needs help seriously.

Last I flew with IndiGo the cheap fuckers had an entertaining system but obviously didn’t pay for a licence and I had to look at their logo for 7 hours

Hope they have their user passwords hashed and not in plain text when stored. Mind boggling in this day and age there is still companies storing passwords in plain text. How hard it is to use bcrypt

Everybody fails an interview at some stage. Don’t be afraid to show up on interviews, you can use that opportunity to ask questions, check what questions are asked etc. Use this knowledge to learn from your mistakes. This will only make you more prepared for the next one increasing your chances.

They have to notify all parties involved. Clock is ticking. Big hit in customer trust and possibly hefty fine coming their way

@ragnar takes care of such things

@ragnar do your magic

@ragnar finish him

@ragnar another one for you

@ragnar handle this

@ragnar take care of this

@retoor and another one slipped through 🤦‍♂️

Out of curiosity what’s wrong with Angular?

Chairs. Really 🤦‍♂️

@retoor well I normally express my opinion and provide arguments to back it up. It is up to the management to take action. If shit hits the fan my favourite phrase is "I told you so". It is very hard to strike a balance when it comes to software development. I've worked with people who had wet dreams when talking about architectures and then over engineered the shit out of everything. On the other side of the spectrum there is this guys that do fuck all and don't give a rats ass to what happens. I also want to get things done, but when trying to avoid issues I've seen in previous companies I then encounter new ones. Our industry does not cease to amaze me sometimes :)

@retoor Oh I have plenty of rant worthy content lately :) At the beginning people's stupidity was really bothering me, but lately I find myself just accepting it. Not sure if this is just me getting old, or I gave up on trying to make things right.

@retoor SPAM is all they do. No idea how it works, or how they make money but devRant being on autopilot doesn't help either.

@retoor yeah downvoting them doesn't seem to stop them. Not sure if those posts are automated or someone is manually registering and posting SPAM here.

@retoor hm I can downvote a spam post and it would disappear for me with just my -1 vote. But who knows. Not sure what’s with the surge of SPAM posts lately. Very annoying

There is a lot of spammers lately. I can downvote the spam messages and they disappear from my threads, not sure if its just me that can’t see them once downvoted or they disappear for everyone else as well.

Possible sources of data leaks into 3rd party:

- email providers used to send order confirmation emails
- CRM tools
- Less likely but payment providers and access to such
- Compromised account credentials
- Leaking customer and order data into Analytics tools
- Malware on employee machines

I would start from compromised credentials first and look at unusual account activity to rule out the worst case scenario

So the app can be shit but if it hits the deadline you’ll be happy?

Sometimes it’s hard to get past HR/recruiters because they read CVs in black and white. As well as listing previous employment they should also list projects along with any other details outlining their areas of expertise and how they gained it. Somewhere in the CV they should also mention that they believe they have the required experience which can be demonstrated during technical interviews/discussions.
