I found the source code and there are precisely two catch blocks in the entire thing and neither of them throw a meaningful exception

just got my annual review which was excellent my main complaint w my work is i jump between so many systems and like frameworks/sdks that i gain no true mastery, but the plus side is having a wide (but shallow) pool of knowledge i wish i could be one of those people that writes extremely high performance intricate kernel poo poo but nah glueing stuff together with python is what pays the bills like whenever someone who extremely knows their poo poo posts itt i am in awe and strive for that but it never comes up professionally

as celebration for my spectacular review i pushed changes to prod on friday. booyah (it worked, i tested it heavily ahead of time but know this is also due to luck in the sense that our cloud provider didnt blow up simultaneously)

Corla Plankun posted:this is the only actual problem i have at work anymore. the temptation to write the fun stuff is so strong!!! but it is almost never worth it and most of the time would actually make things worse Today at work I had a choice between client A, who needs me to RDP into their windows servers and figure out why an old non-production SOAP service is not responding, and client B, which needed a quick proof of concept for a promotion engine that involved lots of recursion, parallelization, and property-based testing, with carte blanche on the tech stack as long as it exposed an HTTP API Guess which client turned out to be way, way more urgent?

Production is totally fine, but a few months ago they moved their test servers and hosed up a bunch of endpoint configurations in the process (i.e. they shuffled hostnames around but couldn't be arsed to check whether any configuration also needed updating).

I was skimming through some of the pages in this ancient wiki I've scraped for backup purposes before I turn it off and a load of people come out of the woodwork complaining I removed their important 15 year old list of SQL queries or whatever and found some quoted comments including:quote://Steve M made me do this 12 -8 -97 good job there were no code reviews I guess

Just reviewing some basic code calculating the astronomical season. It's very weird as it normalizes the year to 2000 for some reason, so clearly a Stackoverflow copy pasta, but no attribution. Paste a line into Google and find the original. It's the answer with 0 points and many bugs. Amazing. https://stackoverflow.com/a/68500498 JavaScript code:

sure, everyone complains about how many npm modules their projects have, but then when i simply copy paste 30 lines of code from stack overflow instead of running npm install season-identifier, then somehow i'm the bad guy,

I wish it was this because then we'd be using something vaguely new, instead of an old Jenkins version and a huge pile of varying different scripts behind it, all of which was implemented by contract staff lol
