Android users, I have a question.
How many of you do actually use Apple signup on your Android device?

How is eclipse doing these days? I got frustrated with it 5 years ago and started using IntelliJ. Is it worth giving it one more try?4

Why why do people bother making so many lazy Stackoverflow spinoffs? Who would ever want to read that garbage low effort websites?9

I just don't get my coworkers. They tweak designs, they tweak functionality, but no task is made.
They just simply update designs in Figma, without notifying anyone or just msg me on Slack what to change...
How the fuck do you guarantee that all those tweaks will get reflected to the app? How do you guarantee I won't forget? How do you guarantee QA will test your stupid tweaks?2 -
By trying to do my best. Doing a good job makes me feel good and gives me even more motivation.
Also by trying something new every time. Either by using new library, new approach do to things or whatever. Just to keep stuff exciting. -
My 5 cents about refactoring.
People often postpone it, making it harder down the line.
From my experience, it's better to just do it as you go. 5 min can otherwise become 30 min thing after a while, and combined with some other 5 min thing, this can become 2 hour thing after some time, for example.
Also good luck convincing management (especially bad one), that you need 2 weeks of refactoring. Doing tiny 5 min refactoring, no one will notice.7 -
I'm working with some too smart junior. He rarely listens, does his own magic.
In his last MR, he did an ugly fix, 100 lines big. I told him exactly, what to check first, but nope, he's likes being a magician.
Now, I took 5 min and fixed it with single line of code.3 -
Who the fuck accepted this garbage copy pasted code all over the place?! Ah, it was our "tech lead", cool.1

Definition of code reviews in our company:
"Part of work that requires you to scroll to the bottom of the page and click accept button. Looking the changes is optional."4 -
Do you think tracking work hours by ticket makes sense?
I think it's a waste of dev time. Not sure from PM pov.6 -
Project manager:
"Ah, we have so many projects. We want to finish all at once. Can you work 1 hour on each project every day?"
Not doing that, gtfo.13 -
As a user I want to fart before some one opens the door.
As a user I want to wait if someone farted.
As a admin I want to see who farted.
Does anyone else get annoyed with tasks like that? So much unnecessary words.
Bla bla bla do this bla bla bla2 -
Having a PM is like having a little kid, while driving somewhere, and he's constantly asking: "Are we there yet??".10

What kind of project sizes do you prefer and why? Big one, lasting year(s), or smaller ones, in range of months?9

I had a week off. During that time nothing new was pushed to remote by my boss.
On the last day, before I started working again, literally Sunday night, a pile of garbage non-urgent changes were pushed directly to remote.
I guess it wasn't possible to wait another day for a review. I didn't really care much at that point, but it was just another confirmation, that quitting is the right thing to do.1 -
I'm gonna be installing Arch for the first time, and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations.
I'm mainly interested which filesystem and system (aka systemd) thingy should I go with. But fell free to leave any other suggestions.15 -
How do you guys deal with reviewing garbage code?
Do you waste a ton of time, trying to understand the code, so you can write constructive feedback?
Today I wasted 4 hours reviewing something like that and I'm still not finished.10 -
