One thing is for the DBA to want a heads-up and to work with him whenever a DB thing has to change, small or big. Another thing is for him to blow up in a public email berating the dev who did the changes like a total douchebag.

Doghouse posted:Haha okay. There is a lot of berating devs in email code reviews. I can't fathom why is done that way but whatever. Thanks for the objective perspective - I think I overreacted when I saw it, but I didn't say anything to anyone. Shouldn't be a big deal. That sounds like a toxic place to me, but if you think it's an overreaction then eh.

Thanks guys!Stinky_Pete posted:My big recommendation is to write down a few problems in a notebook and take that notebook to a park with a pen and write/reason out your solutions there. This both cognitively unties your skills from your computer desk, and gives you practice in white boarding. That's a really great idea!

Jose Valasquez posted:I'm going to bet that none of you are actually writing completely self documenting code, at least not if you are doing anything with a nontrivial complexity. Your code looks obvious and clear to you because you are writing it and understand it. That could very well be the case, but if my code reviewer understands the code without comments then I won't really bother putting them in.

Good Will Hrunting posted:Industry vets: what % of your jobs (or % of your time spent working, as I realize jobs can obviously change) would you say was "good"? I don't think myself as a veteran, but what the hell. Year 0 to 2: Small startup as in, I was the only worker in team of 3, it was cool because the problem was very novel, the downside was the pay was poo poo and I was flying by the seat of my pants for all the time I was there, overall i'd say it was bad, but not that much. Also, the company fell apart from a lack of resources before they launched so welp. Year 2 to 6-ish: Also a small startup, with three other people. This one was pretty good for the first 3 years, where me and my boss worked on building a project from scratch, but as the years went on, the focus shifted to maintenance and building some satellite projects to that bigger one, and my job has become very boring and stale. Also I noticed that my pay really has been lackluster. Overall I'd still say it was a really good experience, because I eventually touched almost everything from coding to deploying the application, and I really liked it.

Paolomania posted:Wasn't there some whole thing around the toxic culture at Uber where HR had for years been getting complaints logged against certain people but they were untouchable due to being "high performers" or something to that effect? This kind of precedent doesn't seem like a good indicator for using the HR channel. I think that's more of an issue with Uber's HR than HR in other companies in general.

I'm looking for a specific website that I remember seeing in one of these jobs threads, but I can't remember its name. What I remember is that it aggregated jobs from three websites, Stack Overflow, Hacker News and some other website. Does it ring a bell for anyone?

Munkeymon posted:She said this year, not today. Now you don't have anything planned for the next 363 days! just like my dating schedule! But seriously, this is really just step 1, and it really feels liberating being my first time quitting after years of just feeling useless day in and day out. That I'm having an okay-ish (4 out 9) response rate on my resume made me think why i haven't done this before.

What do you guys do in the notice period? One of the reasons that I'm leaving my job is that there was nothing to do, and me putting in notice didn't magically change the situation.

studying clojure it is then Jose Valasquez posted:During my last notice period I spent the entire time helping my manager plan out the work for the entire upcoming year down to the 2 week sprint level for a project I was never going to be on and was actively trying to disengage from. My managers expectations were way too aggressive but my level of not giving a gently caress was incredibly high so I didn't push back too hard. I did tell her that everything past the first month was going to change drastically and that I didn't think the goals for the year were even close to realistic, but mostly I just wanted to get out of the meetings without burning bridges. I'm not really senior enough to be planning projects, and this current place has some kind of allergy about documenting things (except for testing), and I don't give enough of a gently caress to dig into the projects' issues. My only regret is that it took me way too long to realize that they don't have anything coming down in the pipeline. Space Kablooey fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Jan 8, 2018 |

So an internal recruiter came in and asked me to send my resume and how much I want to get paid. Should I just tell them a ludicrous amount (or what I think it's a ludicrous amount) or tell them that I'd rather talk about that later on?
