when the internal documentation examples are a connection to an unmaintained cluster

not a single person along the way could've made the default example to the cluster most people will want? its the only other cluster out of the 2

when your tech lead admits she doesn't know what's going on, but is confident she'll figure it out through archeology

is it possible to learn this power? im malding with jealousy

is the job of being a "software engineer" (code monkey) supposed to be many parts of wannabe archeologist figuring out what the fuck is going on, happened, and reading the codebase , so you can figure out how to implement your jira ticket?

working postman request with SSL , pfx cert against microservice

go to do the same thing against different microservice , SSL error , review config, looks like im supplying same certs, etc

FML

i have no idea what im doing

javascript, jsx, typescript, react have some of the ugliest and redundant syntax i have ever seen

what are people's favorite reference material for them

do people recommend the official documentation, was surprised react looked better than expected for its docs

i have no idea what im doing been here barely 2 months but am being put onto the support rotation, fml, why

Good developers timebox themselves to 15 minutes before asking a question

How do I learn react, jsx, typescript, graphql in 15 minutes to solve my problem or figure out good questions to ask

fml , what are good career alternatives

when you ask the author of a wiki document questions about their document and they redirect you back to your teammates

concious inclusion training: we want you to talk and share about a bunch of shit that's illegal to ask in interviews: age,sex, orientation, family status, religion, values, gender identity, ethnicity etc

what the fuck do any of these things even have to do with the job?

im confused but whatever

to method java doc or not to method java doc

i'll do whatever we're supposed to , but i dont see consistency in industry or my slave drivers

i remember when i first did i was told not to, but then a new senior hire comes in does it and nobody bats an eye

when you get a random DM from somebody on their first day on another team and they ask you about onboarding stuff

i'm not sure why me as i'm on another team and not even 2 months here

i guess i updated some documentation but there was no explanation for why me and at the end of a hard day of work im too done to bother asking why me

testng: if the name doesn't match (fubar locales whatever idk) doesn't match the corresponding test that uses it it'll just silently ignore instead of failing or running the test at all

@DataProvider(name="fubar")
public Object[][]{
//test data setup
}

@Test(dataProvider = "locales")
public void testWhatever(){}

whoever designed it to be this way: why?

nobody has any clue how to rollback or how the options we have work under the hood

how good is our devops out of 10?

when you gotta generate some product ideas and work for the first time at a new company when you've spent your career as a heads down code monkey

bruh i dont know any of the stats or data, or the product yet

who the fuck decided macos not showing the file path in finder etc is the default

also not having a home directory available by default in the side bar

i fucking hate you so much

the gross feeling when

you and your friend both leave your company which pays poorly

then an old coworker tells you they've hired 3 new people

this feels worse than hearing about your ex doing well after you broke up, for some reason

we need you to fix this bug that cannot be reproduced

ugh so now i have to go figure out how to reproduce it? i dont think this shit is even priority

remote team bonding/social activities like playing pictionary or whatever

can we not? maybe its cute the first time, but we're all awkward and i just wanna go home

i dont even understand where this is coming from, if u actually want to make people happy u could just send them home earlier

otherwise why have this stuff instead of just making us wageslaves work like normal anyway

is this another thing like how the hiring budget is bigger than the retention budget or is there different MBA research for why the fuck this is a thing to begin with

"we use story points as an estimate for how much time something will take to complete" or "X story points means Y days of work"

fucking kill me

work laptop without admin permissions to install anything, like a text editor, or IDE

why couldn't i have been born to a rich family instead of being a wageslave

delete unused code according to IDE

unit with context tests now fail

what is a good alternative industry or career instead of software development

mass exodus from a company but apparently nobody has the balls (or foolishness) to tell them the pay is dogshit

escapees may be operating under the model that it doesn't benefit them to tell the truth to the company

absolutely hilarious and baffling that the company feigns ignorance on this or is genuinely incompetent

when you confirm with a friend that 2 different members of their team who left didn't contribute shit (one of which got into a meeting with management with them telling them to work) , but they also made more money than both of you and are now making more money in more successful companies in more senior roles

is it possible to learn this power /palpatine

me: reviewing an old ticket relevant to testing a similar area of a ticket im working on as a developer

"QA Note

Please don't ask me where to find one of these, because I don’t know"

the retired QA who worked on this ticket also didn't write where to find the thing

well fuck me alright

brew install node

keeps going for more than 5 minutes, installing idk dependencies or doing idk wtf

fuck javascript and its ecosystem

when people attribute you as the author of bad code you didn't write, as you receive PR feedback to update it

when you are updating something different in the same area

getting mogged by people with less experience and/or spending less effort

it's almost a talent for me to be this bad at being a code monkey

can you solve the issue in production mentioned in this slack channel you don't have access to and we're not going to grant you access to?

senior: i don't know css well (which is fine as i don't either), but i want you to do this differently and their suggestion doesn't work, so go figure it out

that working stuff we have on the PR? nah

fml

does recursion have any practical use outside of being a cute/elegant solution under constraints where stack overflow isn't a concern due to small input size, and leetcode?

im having trouble thinking of anywhere you could justify using recursion in industry outside of leetcoding people

i assume the iterative approach would be preferred in scenarios where scaling matters
