Hell yeah - WinKey + 1 always People will still use Word because it's "easy" to crop and mark up the image once you know how. Then I'll open it and the markup box things will have little to no relation to their original position on the creator's machine because Word.

How bad are bug tracking systems where everyone has the same complaints about things that add hours to their work week -- screenshots in Word documents, unsearchable logs in images -- and these systems don't bother extracting images from .docx files or OCRing text?

GutBomb posted:As long as windows default screenshot behavior is to copy it to the clipboard, that's going to be what happens. These people don't even realize they have mspaint on their computer to paste into instead of word. It's all they know. It's annoying as poo poo, but I blame Microsoft for that. It should dump the screen to a file on the desktop somewhere, not the clipboard. These days you can paste the image directly into Jira. Using Word is way more work.

I use greenshot for all my screenshotting needs. It takes over the print screen key, when you press it you can just drag a box around the area you want to screenshot, then it shows a menu where you can choose to just put it in the clipboard, save it to a file, open it in an editor, or attach it directly to a new email.

Honestly the main thing keeping me trudging forward is knowing that I'll get to continue working with everyone in the company (all 10 of us haha). Our PMs are awesome, they back us so completely and are willing to push back on stupid requirements, and they shield us from most of the bullshit the customer's sling. All in all, things could be a lot worse.

I just found out we have been paying several hundred dollars / month for time tracking in Jira that nobody every uses for the last 4 years. Also, because someone left, it's taken us 3 sprints to get a consensus on a loving icon for commenting functionality ala Google Docs in tinymce. User testing also showed that very few people knew we even had this functionality for the last 4 years

Of course I didn't reboot it for a few weeks and I do a lot of testing so god knows how many threads were kept open. It was looking at a gif album on imgur that did it so I will just use my desktop with 32 for that in the future.

With my version of OS X there’s a memory leak in safari if you leave it going too long it’ll suck all memory and you’ll struggle to force close it. I switched to chrome and the great suspender but that alone weakens the hold Apple has on my productivity.

I don't really have any pressing needs in my personal life that need bespoke solutions made by myself, I don't have the perspective to do it in a professional capacity (lots more people have a better idea of what we devs need than I do), and I don't really have any OSS that I feel the need to contribute to.  I just don't do much open source stuff. Am I just unlearned/underexposed?

I think that's normal. I've only contributed to young projects with easy problems. The only time I noticed a problem in a mature project, one that I could actually fix, I found I couldn't easily navigate the code and tests, and soon had to move onto other problems at work.

My entire contribution to OSS is adding a curly brace to a Javascript library where the maintainer clearly didn't run the Jasmine tests before accepting a different pull request.

You don't have to contribute to OSS, it just provides a nice bullet point if there's really nothing else to evaluate you by. I've only added a couple of minor things to AOSP (via others for dumb reasons I won't get into), and I never felt held back because of it.

Open source stuff does not have to be useful to be valuable. A completely pointless toy project can still serve as fizzbuzz-equivalents to people making a hiring decision about you. I've even had a new developer email me profuse thanks me for making a clojure project: they didn't "use" it, but they were amazed to see you could "compile" third-party json into an API. Don't wait for a useful idea to start making something, and don't wait for something to be perfect, finished, or even good to publish it. Paint in public.

I've been fumbling with it here and there since that goon who was going to redo the forums in elixer abandoned the project.

This is a good point, although the converse is true; I've waved a red flag after looking at a candidate's github repo before an interview and managed to get the whole thing scrapped since their public codebase was a horror show. sarehu posted:I think that actually risks making them classified as an employee.

Oh we do. It's just there are only a few leads that actually care and the rest are either incompetent or have completely tuned out and just merged anything to make velocity go up. Huge swaths of the codebase are no-go zones now because it's just a huge poo poo pile that the contractors live in and eat their own farts there.

Volmarias posted:In what world would "hey let me check your work before we accept it" be grounds for classifying a contractor as an employee? To actually be a contractor they should be working independently and delivering some form of completed work. This obviously doesn't mean that you can't review that completed work, but having them integrated in the same workflow as your FTEs is the sort of thing that makes the IRS suspicious, and a good routine code review process does involve more direct collaboration than is really appropriate.

Almost every company I've ever worked for treated the contractors a bit differently (not invited to all staff meetings, crappy seating, etc) but they still collaborated directly with everyone and participated in the same development processes as everyone else they were working with. I don't really think it's that odd.

Most companies with 1099 employees are breaking the law. The IRS is very inconsistent about enforcing it; they cracked down on some companies a while back (10-15 years now?) and then haven't done much since.

A topical PSA: if you feel you're being 1099ed in error, you can file an SS-8 with the IRS to complain about it, and in my case, something actually came of it!

Got to sit in on an interview yesterday. It was interesting. Interesting, in that while I've read lots of stories about people who couldn't reason their way through fizzbuzz on a whiteboard, I never thought I'd actually experience it (or, in this case, an analogous problem). I know that opinions on whiteboard tests are varied, but I've always felt like you should at least be able to pseudocode your way through some simple problems. It was...enlightening...to see a person who's been in the industry for a reasonably significant amount of time completely flail at reversing a list. I mean, I understand that some people don't do well in the ad-hoc exam situation, and it's easy to let the stress get to you and blank you out, but man, if the interviewer has all but given you the answer and you still can't make the final logical leaps...

To be fair, reversing a list is harder than fizz buzz, not equivalent. It's still shameful that anyone higher than "part way through community college" would fail at it though.
