I tried Zed editor and I stopped using JetBrains IDE's as a result, try it and see if it works for you.

Do note, it you are writing Java or Kotlin you are fucked and stuck with IntelliJ :/

Edit: Zed is far from perfect and still missing a lot of features, but even in this state I'd rather use it than JB's offerings

Had the same experience many times, all I can say is who ever forced this decision is fucking retarded if they can't imagine a scenario where you really need a flashlight.

Anyway, a "fix" to this is: Always have a white picture saved on your phone and then just max the brightness... it's stupid - but it gets you just enough light to see something

I hate that this is the solution... we live in a word filled with retarded idiotic morons and this is putting it nicely

@Tounai Agreed. I would even generalize that process you described the best way to learn anything.

Ofc with common sense applied, like don't go breaking nuclear reactors and stuff.

@retoor I've heard of that, but never met anyone that confirmed it.

And yeah mycelium is wild, calling it a flesh of god is quite accurate :p

@retoor Interesting, thanks for the info. You sound like an experienced substance user. (this is meant as a compliment)

Also you mentioned experimenting with mushrooms: Did you ever try taking a micro doses for extended period of time?

@retoor > 3mmc is good to code on

Do tell more please.

@netikras The network map to the router is: Modem -> Switch 1 -> Switch 2 -> Router -> My PC

@Demolishun Shit dying from a random power outage? Yep, this has never happened to me before

Find an exercise that you enjoy, there is no point in going to the gym if you hate it there. There are so many other options to try, like hiking, climbing, biking, etc.. (Also imo. going to the gym is so fucking booooooring, once novelty of it wore off I started to dislike it - I much prefer other ways of exercise).

@kobenz lol, yeah... it's weird, I also noticed that my code in other langs is written more in rust style over the time.

This is my love/hate relationship with it, sometimes you need a padded room to write it and yet I'll miss it when using other langs :/

@kobenz Yeah I feel you on this one, what lang do you primary use for your projects?

@jestdotty Don't change your view on this, you are right - you should be feeling insecure with untested code.

Anyone that says if it compiles it's fine is a retard, that's the nicest way I can put it.

I should probably mentioned that I worked a lot with Java the past where you get fucked with exceptions at runtime.

At least for me writing rust is more enjoyable than Java.

I'll preface this with, I write rust code daily and enjoy it;

Rust is a pedantic bitch, always wanting her rules respected and if you dare to go against them it it will fight back.

Just spent half of today trying to make some macros with a specific syntax - that was a fucking waste of time

Yet when it compiles it just kinda works most of the time, pretty much the classic love/hate relationship.

@j0n4s His brother probably, better watch your back for the rest of your probably shortened life ;)

I tough you were talking about weed at first.. well espresso and a joint pair really well from personal experience :p

I do have to let everyone know that unicorns are real. All you have to do to see them is take a bunch of random drugs and hit your head really hard :)

@theKarlisK Gitea lacks one of the features I like about GitLab - nested directories. Seriously why the fuck does everyone else just provide organizations as a way for having things organized..

I have a few other gripes with it but it's a viable option for smaller teams at this point.

Forgot to add there were some "abstract" questions prior to this that they just wanted to see how would I approach things. I think senior roles interviews should put a bigger focus on this (assuming the person can code and learn new tech)

I think they should, but they should be done differently, I had a great experience with my current company when interviewing:

They presented me with a project that was having an error and the question was "X feature in this service errors out, how would you fix this?"

I spent around 5 minutes to solve the problem and after I was done they just said "You clearly know what you are doing, we use some of the tech that is not listed on your resume are you prepared to learn X, Y and Z for this role?" I said yes and that was it.

So CI/CD stands for two options you have when developing applications: Continuous Instability or Continuous Destruction, your pick :D

@oiledwheels I agree that JetBrains IDEs are not the fastest, but for the functionality they offer I have not found a good alternative.

But also I only use them for coding, for modifying single files and configs I just use vim.

@oiledwheels Android studio was developed by google from community IntelliJ project and it was rushed, so here is your answer.

I'm using JB ide's every day, I tried alternatives with a open mind but for me at least, JB products are just better.

My most used IDE's are IntelliJ, CLion, WebStorm and DataGrip

@dotenvironment "Apologies for missing the meeting earlier but my cat deleted the boot partition on my computer." should do the trick

To be fair, because of competition from Kotlin Java was forced to improve things, and modern versions of Java are quite decent. If they keep up the improvements I think Java will stay relevant for some time.

At my company we are using Java for most of micro services and I have no complaints.

We are of course on the latest lts version of Java, legacy versions are a pain to work in (8 or lower) and I would probably include 11 as the legacy version as well.

@iceb Oh yeah and that, so the only ones that are working now are hot fixing a production because someone pushed on Friday :D

(And I assume they don't have time to rant on here while doing that)

Yes, this is by design.. now.. get back to work :)

It's likely that they gave 2 weeks notice prior to your hiring, but your manager/boss convinced them to stick around until they hire a replacement and then train you for two weeks - this is quite common because they usually double the pay for the person who is quitting just so they can at least somewhat train the next person.

But now and then you get a good experience like mine: When I was interviewing for a lead dev position the guy that I was replacing was there and told me, I'm starting my own company, but I'll be here for another 3 months to help you with anything you need and even after that you can still contact me if you need any help.

Total honesty on their part, and they kept their word this guy showed me as much as possible and he still answers to every question I have and even randomly sends recommendations from time to time.

@azuredivay No problem :D

For backups you can also look into S3 cold storage, currently my servers do backups daily to storage box and weekly to S3 cold storage - I have some services that people depend on and data loss is not an option.

If you just have personal non critical stuff weekly backups to the storage box will be enough and maybe a monthly S3 cold storage backup

Also I forgot to add you have 20TB of free traffic and then it's 1€/TB

@azuredivay I have been using Hetzner for hosting my bare metal servers, I haven't experienced any problems with their service so in ~4 years I've been using them.

They have Intel Xeon servers that are around 1000 usd/year (https://hetzner.com/dedicated-roots...)

And if you want total overkill for 1500 usd (https://hetzner.com/dedicated-roots...)

They also include backup boxes with Xeon servers for free if I remember correctly (not 100% sure)
