Thanks to all of you for the suggestions and support. It makes me happy and puts me in a better mood.

I should have put the following in my original message, but missed.

I think I handled the subsequent conversation calmly. Asked for explanations and reason which was given. I was also given the opportunity to explain my thoughts and reasoning.

I was really glad it was brought up and we were able to have a constructive conversation around it. We ended it with a "Thank You".

@AleCx04 wish me luck 🤞

@jiraTicket Dealing with the spikes at the lower part of ladder is better than dealing with spikes at the top!

@sariel
* Dealing with people who find ways and creative reasons to not do their work
* Dealing with people who think they are experts and we should listen to them always

Pretty much just these two

Not everyone should document

My condolences for the repo.

A 200 MB log file got my blood boiling once and I almost screamed in the developer's face.

I got the file removed from git history and asked every developer to clone it again. Took me 2 days!

If your primary usage is going to be on a workstation (monitor, keyboard, mice, desk and the lot) then Lenovo ThinkPad with a docking station is a good choice.

If you're gonna use it on your lap (many people I know do) then I suggest the MacBook Pro. The laptop doesn't heat up and is perfect for such kind of usage.

@hamido-san I know that... But didn't follow it this time

That's how I've been seeing New Year and even my birthday for the past 10+ years

A nice pair of headphones

IT companies in India have some kind of exemptions from Labour Laws. So, they are free to choose their approaches to employment.

But as others said, all of it is binding only if you sign the contract document. You could refuse to sign. You would be asked to resign and the earlier contract you signed would be applicable.

In many places, doing the work yourself and not passing it along itself is praiseworthy

If you've ever lent money to someone (and got it back), it's ok to put "banker" on bio.

"I can still follow, but I'm terrified"

That got me LOL!

That hurts!

Go up to the VP and say that you're rewarding the wrong person. If he doesn't take it seriously, search for another job.

Even this requirement isn't complete!

Does he want to be mummified or left as is?

I was thinking to keep it simple.

Store the cart in Redis backed with some DB (Postgres or MariaDB)

REST APIs built on Spring Boot with JWT should be enough.

I don't know what is available. I asked here to narrow down my search

@NoToJavaScript No. Not in US. But how is thay relevant to Huawei Cloud being good or bad?

Good retorts. But I just left the meeting without saying a word. Couldn't think of all these things back then.

I can relate to this. I do similar things: ordering methods, ensuring the variables are proper (not just the name, but camel case / snake case), adding comments between code for my understanding, etc.

On many instances, this just takes loooong time.

Thomas, in that bottle, will probably outlive you

I see your 16 hours and raise it by another 16 hours!

@IntrusionCM I did mean RDBMS specifically. But I think we can add NoSQL databases which are used to store and retrieve data.

The read:write ratio of 10:1 that i specified is arbitrary. Many applications read the data more than write them into databases.

The scenarios you mentioned is what I wanted to know and gather more knowledge on.

I know about logging (and audit) as 2 cases where the amount of data written is more than the amount of data read. Even here, there could be cases where the logs/audit info is read more number of times than read.

I want to know more about the other 2 cases. Data processing and data filtering. Can you give an example of a scenario? (either an application or a part of an application)

Sorry if my initial question was too vague. To simplify it, if an interviewer asks for a use case where more data is written into db than read from it, I want to be able to provide examples that aren't logging or audit.

A detailed rant with specifics of what frustrates you. Nice

I've been using the ISO 8601 format for couple of years, but didn't know about this. I've always used "yyyy" myself. I guess I'm fortunate that my colleagues also used the same.

If I had faced the issue, I would've been stumped. Good thing you shared.

1 thing I learned today.

@billgates I used to hear that term a lot. And then one day, I said if you don't give me time I'd do it "as slow as possible". It didn't change anything though.

Maybe it is the reason why many devs don't put in a lot of effort at the beginning of a project. With the deadline closing, they realise this project is actually needed and work longer hours to get stuff done.

Only a month back? I'm still writing documentation for a project that was completed 6 months back

Hours at office: 14
Lines of code: 0
Time spent looking at code: 0 s
Time spent in useless meetings: 12 h

(Remaining 2 hours was the lunch and breaks put together)
