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)

Java++
Javaby
Javash

Just commenting here so I get to know the reason why terraform is insecure

Good rant! You will find something soon. Just a matter of time

I'm gonna try that on the next intern/junior joining my team

Good for you. How did you achieve this incredible feat?

@sbiewald I know about Gnome-tweaks and I've used it in the past. The tweaks apply to the OS and not to the applications themselves.
For example, in vscode, the explorer's font isn't customizable. And the default font is Ubuntu. I assume it'd be the same for sublime or atom.

Do a code review and explain the state of things. Give your honest opinion and whether it can continue to exist like this or it needs to be fixed/standardized

I feel you. I've been there in the same situation. I was fortunate enough to not endure this for long time though.

Talk to people and see if they can help you out by being the release manager or even a help you with code reviews or something

What kind of application is this?

I keep my laptop on a stand so that the screen level is correct and use a keyboard and mouse.
My cat always comes and sits on the laptop's keyboard. This leads to frustrating and sometimes hilarious results.
I just figured he is looking for my attention and put him on my lap so that I can continue with my work.
Many times he's tried to grab my finger which contributed to variable names in code and deaths in games.

This is so much true. I've had this thought and I concluded that we do have some kind of specialists in the industry.

Similar to how we have specialists such as a cardiologist, neurologist, radiologist, etc. among doctors, we have network engg, sysadmin, devops, back-end engg, front-end engg, data analysts, etc.

Similar to general physicians we also have full-stack engg and/or BAs who can code.

Thanks everyone. I have a some clarity on what I can try out.
1. Switch hats between lead and friend
2. Be the gateway/firewall between team and management
3. Pair up team members routinely to understand the progress as well as their mindset

@magicMirror How did you endure it? I'm kinda losing my mind. Makes me stressed out

@dan-pud but pairing, I hadn't thought about. Will definitely try it out

@dan-pud I did put up a scrum board. They did pick up and finish tasks, but on a slow pace. I've seen these guys more focused and more productive.
Or maybe I'm imagining things from the past 🤔

@magicMirror By tasks do you mean the coding part? But I'd like to spend some time on it to keep me sane. Isn't there any other way?

@gitpush You ended it too soon!

I didn't go to Georgia, but stayed at home and didn't open my laptop. Didn't read any tech news or magazines or anything. Cleaned up my room (it was a mess) and visited some relatives.
Just that was refreshing for me.
(and started exercising)

@cursee why aren't you showing your true face? What consequences are you afraid of?

@taigrr Skype on docker? Interesting... Will search for it
