Is it me or are these kind of issues getting more and more common?

@Hazarth Honestly, I would be able to answer that IF HE PUSHES HIS CODE TO THE REPO REMOTELY. He also wanted to spin up a testing environment with their own database etc on each git branch. We have 2 devs in total and not even a testing department.

But judging the code I can see that is older than my time at that company, yes... yes, it is AI assisted judging by the total comments alone.

@hjk101 They meant those smaller multi-line examples (like in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/...)

Using documentation to understand the needed functionality was OK. But not copy paste examples from the docs

On a side note, I do wonder if the teacher of the class 'databases 1' has upgraded her computer away from Windows95

She used to type very fast but it was amusing that she had to wait half a minute till her text slowly appeared on the projected screen character by character.

@wojtek322 I can totally understand why companies ask for degrees. If there is an overflow in juniors with no or close to no work experience in programming. Then I can understand why asking for your GPA is needed. You need to stand out if you have nothing to proof.

Even some recruiters are just stupid. The senior DevOps at my first job was looking for a different jobs and he got denied for a job for not having degree... Despite having 15 years experience in DevOps (and +6 years in their stack). Their stack did not even exist when he was in school.

(I love it when DR throws a 200 but with the following body:

{

"success": false,

"error": "Your comment couldn't be blablabla"

}

)

I think it makes a lot more sense in 2025 to ask for a degree compared to 2015. I think the amount of coding bootcamps that advertise people -learn to code in 2 months- did a lot of harm for passionate non-degree holders especially for the first few years of coding.

I was helping someone a few months ago with a CSharp application and he did not know the difference between stack and heap. The challenge he faced was in fact related to that difference

Oh man, spotting AI bullshit on forums will now even be harder :(

What is even the point nowadays to be part of a bigger website

@TeachMeCode It was discussed and senior said that it will be their problem if they fuck up. But they had previously an unhappy employee that was fired that did unwanted changes in their old application.

@AlgoRythm I would love that but I'm doubtful that we will get this in v1.

@whimsical touché

@TeachMeCode For more context, the application would be used internal by 8-ish users. But they are responsible that the whole dataset is correct It's a lot of work for them and management wants to move a few of them to a different project (hence the project + cost price of that existing product). The tool that they used was generic but heavily adaptable and very powerful for their use-case. They want the same (overkill) use-cases

@whimsical yep; jokes aside, family-related stuff

@D-4got10-01 Only 22 work days to implement this backend into the final product that will go live. Oh man, I want to move to a place where they cannot contact me.

@afaIk But you could also be fired less fast

@afaIk Reading other complaints on reddit, it does seem the US market is a big fan of never getting back to their candidates :p

I'm not a backend developer but my previous job used it a lot and i never understood why;

They claimed costs, but the lambda communicates with a django application hosted on AWS.

They claimed it was more secure but the rest of the API was not built with security in mind

Modularity; but people complained finding the correct lambdas that they had to work on

Scalability; but the bottleneck was simply not scalable

Easier deployment; yes but it made deployment management a nightmare at that job

What i've heard during dailies, it looked flawed but backend devs loved it and yet complained a lot about it.

So i'm also interested what makes it appealing

What band did you see :o

Those website that hijack your scrollbar and has some custom scroll animations are even worse. They do look nice but i hate them so much

@whimsical Yea, it's a stupid system and our structure has so many loopholes. A typical IT package includes company car, fuel/charging card, eco voucher, insurance, smartphone, phone subscription, sport voucher

Heck, my previous company even gave us a monthly budget to buy literature related to our job... But you guessed it, nobody used it for that and just pocketed the €5 (which was taxed less compared to adding that €5 to the salary after taxes). Same for money for your car wash etc.

Those stuff are not added to your salary before taxes but only after taxes

But I did expect the pay raise to be max 33% but only seeing a difference of 4.2% stings. (To be fair, my salary uses less loopholes is less optimized but still).

@AlgoRythm I still don't understand how one of the riches countries never made it mandatory for workers to take x days of holiday. Apparently companies in the US are not even forced to give PTO. In most of EU countries, it is at least 20 days by law excluding the holidays like xmas.

For the remaining 12 days, our work week by law is 38 hours but a lot of companies employ their workers for 40 hours and give them then 1 day holiday per month when employed at that company. If you start in begin of November, that would only be 2 days. So this way, you have 32 days of holiday (but more like 20 days of holiday and 12 days of overtime that you can take whenever).

Even companies are forced for their employees to take the 20 mandatory holidays off, they can get fined if there is proof that they try to stop the workers from taking it. (and employees are taxed a lot if they do not take those days).

Heck, we even have the right to take 2 consecutive weeks off in the summer.

@freshlyfe Thanks, I'm located in West-Europe

@wojtek322 It's the end of the work day and he still has delivered : ) :) :) :) :)

@D-4got10-01 Oh wow, it's also posted here. I saw it on a linkedin post lol

It's still funny to me that some "dangerous knowledge" that you want can be just be bypassed by saying, I'm writing a book and in my world xyz and how would this affect <something>

Maybe he tried and failed and needed help with it. We probably all needed help with a very basic problem that is too obvious for some people.

Heck, my ex-boss admitted he recently learned how to peel potatoes and he is nearly 50.

@D-4got10-01 I did ask it on multiple occasions and i got the backend promised multiple times either in 1 or 2 days. I had a 1-on-1 meeting with that backend guy (my manager) yesterday where i did mention it multiple times. He promised, again, that I'll receive it today

What's going on lol

I've heard people call it a heisenbug

A computer bug that disappears or alters its characteristics when an attempt is made to study it.

@afaIk Norwegian (Bokmål, not nynorsk)

Chatgpt does mix them up from what I've noticed and I have barely any experience in the language :D

@CaptainRant Yeah, pinging @dfox for this urgent css fix :)

@c3r38r170 Oh yeah, those channels were fun for some time. Rslash is still doing a good job at it.

I do wonder if those youtubers can be linked to a decrease in literacy amongst younger people

Even one of the biggest WW2 youtubers made a video that is anti-AI https://youtube.com/watch/...
