Wow you’ve worked in some fucked up places

That’s what you get for trying to drink bulk iced ‘coffee’, what blasphemy

The way I would put it is “nodejs with or without typescript is like getting gang-raped by a bunch of strangers, sure a condom will technically improve the situation, but you’re still getting raped”

What happened to pool requests, that’s the first safety net for code reviews

Ah the old ‘schmick landing page’ trick, oldest one in the book

@Voxera Thanks for the detailed answer

I agree I’m comparing a regulated profession with an unregulated one, but I don’t agree the comparison is wrong, we’ve somehow internalized that software engineering should be unregulated without questioning that premise in the first place and it’s led to a bastardization of the industry

We have to question why there aren’t written standards for what’s required to complete or years on the job practice before someone can call themselves a developer or software engineer

I would like to believe that many professions in this industry (not all) such as software engineers working on mission-critical software or application security are essential to normal functioning of our society and have a duty of care to the people and companies we work for, so we have to question why the quality-control is so lacking compared to the other regulated professions

@Stuxnet Care to elaborate? I’m comparing professions

Preach son

Run away into the woods

Why are you still working there? Do you enjoy being butt raped?

That’s kinda messed up

damn son

Relying on probability is not bad practice. That’s the whole premise of uuids, can you use an uuid as the instance id?

That’s what Wordpress will do to you. It takes your soul

Ffs

That’s wholesome man

Lol if you’re going to be a bigot at least be accurate, the word ‘stan’ has nothing to do with the religion of Islam. ‘Stan’ is a persian word meaning land, Islam did not originate in persia. How is adding a persian word behind Sweden making fun of muslims? are persians overrunning Sweden?

Php is a joke though so don’t be too hard on yourself

I didn’t know Jesus was a dev

I don’t know what it is with Australia and infrastructure projects, screw ups without fail. I also remember reading recently that the NSW gov spent $2 billion on new trains that were too wide for tunnels...🤦‍♂️

@chabad360 Yeah we haven’t disregarded the applicant as this was just the first meeting, proceeded to the next stage which is a take home programming assessment. Let’s see how his code is then we can get a better picture

Jetbrains makes great IDEs so you’re good to go with PyCharm, I’ve been using PHPStorm and nothing beats it when it comes to debugging and code recovery.

Where are you in your development career? If you’re still early and truly believe in the idea it’s worth the shot, otherwise you have to think about the opportunity cost of forgoing a good salary for the forseeable future. I did the same thing few yeas ago, quit a well paying job and dedicated 6 months to a startup with 2 mates, built the product but didn’t work out as the idea didn’t solve a real market need, i got a job again.

I hate estimating tickets, it’s a waste of time in my opinion

No

Move on, try again

Come on m8, where’s the passion

I’m not sure how we ended up here
