Cuntpunch posted:I mean obviously "only hire talented people" is a great answer, but that's not realistic at all, so what's the real-world solution? I don't think there's any practical solution to turn bad devs into good devs other than replacing. If they aren't willing to improve themselves they just won't, and there's really nothing else to be done.

You are probably trying to make the point "lol, entitled shits", but not understanding why a process is there is a valid complaint.  Of course, that depends on the tone of the rants more than anything else, but.

Though I heard a few stories about managers breathing down on the development team's neck and demanding the thing for yesterday, when the thing is held by company

KoRMaK posted:I'm working in a nodejs project right now, and I haven't found a good user signup plugin. Like, this has to be a common thing, and I'm sure other people have done it better than me. Well, in rails there is a gem called devise. Again, it frees me up from having to write code for an already well solved problem. And then your special snowflake application has to sign up users slightly differently from the method that the plugin supports and either you have to scrap the plugin and roll your own method anyway, or try to kludge what you need in the plugin and ending up with a complete mess, or the plugin is so generic and full of required configuration that it's barely worth keeping it.

Pollyanna posted:It kinda seems like most products that companies (startups, corporations, the whole gamut) need pretty much just boil down to REST-y CRUD apps. For customer-facing services, anyway. A lot of the interesting problems are either already solved via plugins and gems, or require some crazy Ph.D level work to solve. I'm not sure if I would call problems that can be solved with plugins interesting anyway. That you can just slap a plugin on them makes them uninteresting IMO. Pollyanna posted:It feels like the technology is becoming less and less the actual barrier to productivity and success, and design is becoming more and more important as those barriers are coming down. Which kinda makes me wonder where software engineers will be going in the future. I agree with you on the technology part, but I think that people that know their poo poo aren't going anywhere soon. Businesspeople will always need tech people to translate their requirements into things that people that code understand.

Is this a case where he does poo poo work but his personal apps are good? If this is the case I guess this is a classic case of being unmotivated. Though I guess it's irrelevant if his personal apps are good, because he's doing a lovely job no matter what so no big loss to you either way.

comedyblissoption posted:I got so frustrated I checked the SVN branch and main development into GIT and did the merge that way and it was a lot better. When that happens, you question why are you even using SVN... Because there's at least one old fart that says that git is too complex (meaning that they don't understand git) to implement. And that assuming that they know that git exists.

Don't get me wrong, I love to goof off, especially on Mondays. And I don't mind being not excited about my job, but I would have liked to be excited enough to come home and put some of my ideas for projects in practice. As it is, I literally come home home, sigh and just proceed to jerk off the rest of the evening.

Che Delilas posted:Look man, don't be upset that you don't feel like coming home and coding for 6 more hours after coding all day at your job. By the time I'm done at work my brains are usually leaking out my ears and I simply don't have the mental energy left for any more programming, despite having things I'd like to make. More importantly, I'm certain that if I forced myself to do it anyway, I would burn out extremely rapidly, and my personal projects would probably be mostly poo poo code anyway. Yeah, that makes sense, thanks. I still can't imagine how some people have the energy to both code at work and then work on OSS or personal projects in their free time.

Sometimes your PR is huge/intricate and they just can't be bothered to read all that and prefer to review the easy ones. Splitting the huge PR into multiple, smaller, less complex PRs could work. The times that I have had success with getting big PRs pushed is when I talked with my project lead beforehand, and we both agreed that it was going to be a lot of code.

Pollyanna posted:The PR one is the most reasonable and a legit fuckup on my part. I'm used to the "gently caress it get it out as soon as possible and let others comment on it" mentality that I got from...somewhere?...and it's probably just making things worse. I guess I just don't fully understand how to go from "it works" to "it's acceptable" outside of "make the code look good and more robust". I'll have to experiment with that a bit, it's high time I held myself to a better standard. Maybe contributing to projects on GitHub? In the times I had PRs open there, it was normal to have a substantial PR and then lots of smaller commits while it's open to fix things the repo owner asked.

rt4 posted:When you're writing software, do you find most of the challenge to be in code organization rather than algorithm development? Seems like everything I do is pretty easy. Getting things done while preventing or fixing a mess feels like the only part worth being proud of. This has been my experience as well. Except for optimization or if it is something really specific to your problems, say business logic for report#6789 for startup#1234, I figure that the really interesting algorithms have already been abstracted away to libraries and such.

Pollyanna posted:We have the opposite, there's a company-sponsored "codeathon" 2-day at the end of this week that basically amounts to "lock the developers in a room until they come out with something". My coworkers are questioning how they're supposed to explain to their family that they need to stay overnight in a city 2 hours away. You mean it's an optional team building thing and they can build whatever they want for their own personal gain with lodging and food provided by the company, right? If it's not it then

Pollyanna posted:We aren't using a framework, we're basically taking a microservices approach and dispatching to different web views based on nginx url matching so each team can develop completely independently, and so we can all use different tech that allows us to turn the header, footer, content, calculators, etc. into drop-in components that we can include in pages written through a CMS. I'm imagining that one team is building on Jquery, another is using AngularJS, another is using React, and another is using Jquery, but has a completely different way of using it than the first one and so on. Fake edit: Misread the next post, this hasn't happened. Yet.
