Yeah, idempotence is the property that f(x) = f(f(x)); they're talking about pure functions.

We're finally (maybe) getting version control at my job. Still writing code directly on production servers, but, you know, baby steps.

Well, source control isn't "fast" enough, you see. Clearly the best way to write code is to make a change to your file, FTP it to the production server, and cross your fingers that nothing breaks. Instant feedback!

Thankfully, my team only has to interact with that stuff peripherally; we have a Kallithea HG server that we store our repos on, and the only trouble is when we need someone on one of the other teams to make a change to a system we interact with.

Also, it's Coldfusion web dev (them, not us; we do Python). I feel that explains a fair bit, frankly.

Seconding this, it's the best hardware purchase I probably ever made.

That's not, uh.... quite what Bolshevik means. But "worker" is probably the more correct term.

Anyway, at work last week they laid off all but one of our QA people (and UX people), and now our team lead is leaving, which puts me next in line for lead role.
What's the right amount of time to give the company to find another lead before I get the hell out?

e: Also we have a major deadline in about 2 months which we now have to do both dev and QA for.
