A classic “save the children” argument of security. I know you aren’t making it but i have heard people argue this too many times over the years.

I wonder how much time discussing if something is or isn’t a CVE has wasted.

As and end user if you don’t have a script that causes an exploit for a given CVE i don’t care. I have had to patch too many systems from hypothetical issues ASAP!! because management wants to look like they know something

I’m sick of paying 5k a year myself and close to 20k counting my employer for a doctor to see me for 20 minutes, ignore everything i say, and then prescribe some shit without explaining anything.

Additionally seeing how my wife is treated by doctors makes me feel physically sick. I have no respect for the medical field

Some people like talking about things not related to their job when they aren’t working. The culture out in SV is very much still “work is life”.

Very likely. For context im 33 and mostly hang around people from 28 to 38 range. Although I also notice a different attitude with the new devs that we hire who are 24 to 26.

if you have hobbies it’s much more fun to spend time on that.

This is something i think has been slowly changing in the US. At least among the people i know.

Work is now just work. Five years ago it had to be your passion it is what you wanted or at least i wanted to be defined by. After seeing how little any company cares about people work is what i try to spend the least amount of time doing. At 5 or ideally 4 i clock out and only respond if I am paged.

Additionally i have checked out of the tech scene and just spend work time on any needed continuing education. Am I a good developer anymore? Who cares. Im good enough to pass whatever the stupid circuit of interviews is and honestly that is all that matters anymore.

I love reading this stuff. 2010 is when i found out about bitcoin and wanting to learn about it was what took me from someone who played around on linux to someone who could write software and then ended up finishing a CS degree after.

Reading this reminds me of what I originally loved so much about the tech scene at the time. I haven’t been able to find that spark for a long time now unfortunately. Maybe im just looking in the wrong place but i feel it is hard to find another community like the early bitcoin one.

There wont be. Not any more than we already have. The comment above you is pure sensationalism based on nothing.

Windows tries to improve the developer experience… why not call it wudo or something funny since devex on windows is obviously a joke.

I would like to think so but i saw the same crap driving through the middle of a Denver on I70 recently. I almost had to pull over it was so bright I couldn’t see but no one did anything as I have become accustomed to.

The volume today is 22 billion. 2 billion in downwards pressure would lower the price but it’s really not a huge deal.

Most deals like that are not done on the open market though.

It is not that easy as using the AWS WAF with default rules for our application led to many valid requests and IPs being blocked. You need to know what is being blocked and verify at first or you will in some cases be losing customers.

All i needed to know about the quality of software gitlab ships can be found in using their CI system on any half decent size project. You can tell it was half baked with many bugs and edge cases that can be easily avoided. When you look at the bug tracker all of them have been documented for years and they just ignore them.

My favorites are

* using included files that run no job is a failure. The only real work around is adding a noop job all over your ci system.

* try to use code reviewers based on groups. The logic is so complex and full of errors i can’t even explain it unless i spend an hour reading the docs.

* when using the merge train and enabling merge result pipelines you end up with two different jobs per commit. This is cool except in the UI it always shows merge results first. If you have ten commits you need to look on the second page to find the most recent commits ci jobs. That is just annoying but more no environment variables overlap for what MR or commit it is. This makes doing trivial things like implementing break glass pipless almost impossible.

Anyway gitlab sucks i wanted to not use github but really it’s just bad. Not to mention we have outages monthly that we always know of 30 minutes to an hour before gitlab does then we look on the status page and see the downtime is 10 minutes when its been 40 for us and likely everyone else. We have in the last year had close to 2 full days combined of downtime from gitlab. Of course they report 99.95% uptime.

They are big everywhere even South America although 90% of them are fakes

This is why pretty much everything i subscribe to is through apple. Walled garden and all that but i subscribe and instantly cancel all but a few things and it makes sure im not throwing money away on services i only use for a week or two

I cant find anything of even half decent quality for a large sofa under 7k. Im not at all surprised i have been shopping around for months now with the hopes of finding something that will last in the 5k range but have yet to see it.

The amount of times i had to fight and debug systemd compared to any other init system is at least 10x.

Yes it does a lot of stuff for you and in others I had to write custom scripts but it was much more understandable and maintainable long term. Sadly systemd won and now i build my own OS without it.

So im guessing you feel like tesla shouldn’t be taken seriously as well?

Why not buy one under 10k? How about 5k?

And also produces so much waste since almost no one writing python thinks at all about performance leading to some of the dumbest looking architectures i have seen to scale up to even a small amount of requests.

I mean this is just talking about the US but looking at job postings for any large company over half are bow for people not in the US.

That sounds like integration tests if the network is involved

I wanted to get a checkup and every place i called was months of waiting. The ER and Urgent Care is the only functional piece of the US health care system left.

Its just the next SSN and we all know how great that is going

If this is downvoted the comment it’s responding to also should be.

I mean really… “have you thought about moving to another country that speaks a different language and is a 20 hour flight from anyone you know?”

It’s a bit overkill for that. Although if you know how to run and set it up it does work just fine for that.

At least in the US i haven’t seen many people who treat work like a game not treat life like a game. For example often times it’s clear the motivation for hanging out with them is networking. Then they get to work and tell you how building relationships helps them work better and allow them to push people harder when times are tough. After all they can fall back on those past experiences.

I don’t think these type of people are inherently bad but I like to spend my time wisely and over time I have found this means not spending time with the people who are above you and in some cases at your same level if you are a manager.

When every conversation is about work or work tangential maybe it’s time you find a hobby.

Too much to ask unfortunately. It will never happen when they can just sit around and virtue signal without doing any actual work.

I assume with the duck typing you are talking about interfaces? How has that caused issues?

With huge projects that pull in packages i have seen the dependency management become a mess but most of the time its not that bad.
