Nice. Back down to 2.17% next month.

Steams survey doesn’t seem to be very consistent.

You must work in dreadful places. I’ve seen it a few times, but most places have been productive.

It needs a good lead dev to set the culture though.

Whitespace change debates can be avoided by using rule sets in IDEs and agreeing standards within the team.

Good static code analysis tools in pipelines and IDEs handle most technical issues leaving reviewers to focus on design, maintainability, clarity and readability.

You can avoid pickiness if you communicate why, so they learn and understand. If you use PRs as a training and learning tool they’re quite productive. If not sure, ask why something was done.

And if you get picky comments respond with “personal preference and not part of team rules”. But also, you cannot be defensive in your PRS. You have to be open to feedback and points and happy to discuss. Be polite even when feedback is invalid. Defendivesness kills constructive feedback and no matter how old you are and how long you’ve been doing it, you can still improve. Oh and if you been doing it that long, you’re a senior or lead and can influence how things are done.

Is GTFS short for Get The Fucking Schedule?

I want it to be true.

With some, deleting and recreating accounts may work. Some may be tricky.

The less Google usage, the less data they get, the less they understand about who you are now.

A distinct lack of integrity. I’ve avoided jobs for companies who I know build nasty stuff. I don’t want that on my conscience. If I’m semi-competent at my job, I’d be enabling the acceleration of that.

Surprised he got as far as he did. Every line of code that touches production should be reviewed.

If it’s shit, fail it until it ain’t. To allow that shows a distinct lack of technical leadership.

You’ve since shown far more and that should build trust. Never trust contractors without verification.

Actually if you cannot be replaced, you’re less likely to be promoted. How could they move you from your crucial work. You also show leadership by upskilling and building a team that is stronger and independent. If you can do that in a small team, you can do that at a larger scale.

If a company operates different, they’re broken.

Don’t let insecurity push you to sacrifice your integrity, you’ll hate yourself more.

Fair enough. Appreciate the info.

Many are. Young are less supportive. Just got plenty of old folk and right wingers. Surprised you come across that many pro monarchists considering demographics on Lemmy/reddit.

I’d ask you don’t stereotype us. I resist the urge to do so for Americans.

An insulin pump doesn’t work without an app?

Sheesh, that’s dystopian? What if a diabetic doesn’t have a smart phone? Surely there is an alternative? How did they function before Android?

Unfortunately…

But the lack of manpower constraints has increased scale massively. Before swarms required risk of life. Now it requires dudes on remote controls sitting “safely”.

Wasn’t Ukraine blocking drones with nets?

Warfare is evolving. If you have anti-defense for 20, they’ll send 30. If 30, they’ll send 40. Sometimes you need something as a “safety net” just in case. It is better to have it than not. Russia militarily is a joke in many ways. Disliking them doesn’t mean everything they do is stupid.

Most of the threats now need to be adapted for by even leading military powers. What defends now won’t in 2 years. Adaptability is the main advantage now.

I mean, if it works, it works. Hopefully Ukraine keep finding problems for them.

Jitsi requires authentication from big tech companies now, or at least person hosting call.

Shame he didn’t spend time reading up on SOLID principles, clean code, refactoring and TDD. Sounds like Jr parading as a senior. Product nerd != good developer.

Most seniors got burned so much, they refuse to build complex unsupportable stuff. KISS is king with top devs.

The fact this dude has the most experience says everything about your orgs hiring processes. Cheaping out on senior salaries.

GrapheneOS / Pixel 6a

Yup. It’s been bugging me too.

It’s always the trade off. Convenience vs privacy. Personally, I always have a real wallet so cards are convenient to me. Batteries can run out at any time.

Using Google anything is never a privacy option.

Google wallet? Why would you move off Google and use something pointless a bank card would do?

I’m in the UK, but can access banking websites via browser.
