I haven't, but I'd be curious about what it does if it needs that much stuff.

Always has been.

Yeah, and it won't be suspicious at all if you don't have Cloudflare anywhere in the project.

It's been bugging me forever when people say "poor optimisation" when 99% of the time it's just about inefficient, badly written stuff. You don't "optimise" that; you throw it out and start anew.

That's kind of the opposite of my experience. I remember when I started playing Control - I don't remember if DX11 or 12 - but with a GTX 1080 back then I was impressed that I was able to actually turn on raytracing. Granted, it was practically a slideshow (1, maybe 2 fps), but everything was rendering correctly, I was even able to walk around in photo mode to take some shots - so I suppose it has some software fallback if the hardware can't play ball.

I've done some of it in previous years, but at one point it starts taking up way too much time if you want to keep up.

@Lensflare ... and in some cases "yes" would be a valid answer.

German jokes are no laughing matter.

That must be just someone who's doing an exercise on TS types - because there's quite a lot that can be done on the type level. I see nothing wrong with that.

If you don't have a reliable way to roll back to a known working state (until you are able to reproduce the thing you "fixed" and go ahead to actually fix it), the joke is on you.

I'm still mad about the Start menu. In 10 you could freely rearrange things and leave empty spots if you can't fill everything; now, if you want to have something stay in the upper right corner, you have to have an exact number of things before it (and if you dare to add one more, it will shift to the first place in the next row).

You'll be singing a different song when RSI starts to hit.

First started messing around with it in 2005-2006, but I've only been doing it professionally since 2015. Still wouldn't say I'm completely fluent, although I think I know most of the quirks and pitfalls.

Yep, in the west part of Europe.

General interest in tech combined with the realisation that I couldn't do much with hardware. I knew how to assemble a PC and how to do some basic hardware troubleshooting when I was 15, but that wasn't very useful in practice.

@PaperTrail It doesn't really need the context. It's in a fucking CV.

If the person is any good, they will be able to elaborate. If not, you'll know it in the first sentence, but not from the CV alone.

I feel like this is a lost-in-translation problem. Say a new version of something comes out - a library, a framework, whatever - and the devleoper/team shows you the default use. Then another someone comes around and shows their specific use case which might be different than the default - and a bunch of people start parroting that without fully understanding it, for some reason only remembering that it's better than the default.

Seconding the notion that this is not burnout.

But yeah, whenever what you mention happens it's usually a sign that I have to take my lunch break or an afternoon nap.

Yeah, no shit.

I also sometimes stumble upon seemingly very simple things. In such cases I usually open a scratchpad that lets me see values on the fly and start playing around either until I fully understand what's up or until I stop caring (so that I have to redo the process the next time).

But yeah, I get your point. I do develop some sense of those things with enough practice. When I was starting out, I was almost afraid of for example map and reduce, now I like them quite a lot because they let me do things with single expressions instead of with explicit loops.

It's not supposed to be blue as far as I know. You might wanna see a doctor.

If they decided to throw all the fancy stuff in, then yeah, I feel you. Otherwise I'd have to disagree - depending on how you set it up, it can be pretty non-intrusive.

Is it all that hard to set a pre-commit hook?

No, I don't.

@netikras Yeah, as if from then on dude will be immune from existential questions like "Did I really want kids?"...

Hope those folks have sense of humour.

Cinema is also content.

@Lensflare I feel like this is where passphrases came around. From security perspective they're the same as passwords, but from user perspective they might be better.

I think what you're describing is not a problem with working remotely in general but with that specific company.

You shouldn't have to use your own devices - besides maybe peripherals (if you wish) and so on. If they want you to test an app on a device, they should provide the device. Fake camera blur should be fine for calls. On-call duty should be paid on top of the base salary - both stand-by time and active duty.

Ew, row stagger.
