My weirdest adjustment to becoming a software dev is being the second person in the office when I get in at...8:30

I generally drink coffee until lunch, but switch off afterwards. I definitely noticed an improvement in sleep when I did that.

Our company obfuscated the junior/mid/senior levels with position names that are impossible to discern experience from. I never have any idea how much experience to assume someone from another part of the company has.

I'd much prefer to deal with a wall of text in slack then in an email.  Although, if we were in pre-remote times, I'd almost certainly stop at a desk or set a quick meeting in a common area to engage in a verbal conversation as that's how I feel I'm most effective in walking through answers.

They just improved performance by like 98% https://www.docker.com/blog/speed-boost-achievement-unlocked-on-docker-desktop-4-6-for-mac/ I didn’t run any tests myself because I don’t need to run a monolith locally. I’m blessed

mitztronic posted:This entire conversation from the tabchat complaints and the prior conversation about notifications are really putting forward and center that a surprising number of engineers are incompetent if not just stupid. These are really simple problems which were solved by design, the same type of design people in this very thread are supposed to be doing. It’s very ironic and disturbing at the same time. You didn't discover that engineers are incompetent and/or stupid just by working in development?

The company I work at has a three month window and we have to follow SoC, so I would imagine that would be fine.

I generally give code writing type interviews, and try to make it conversational. I’m not really concerned with ensuring the candidate completes the problem, you can usually get a vibe that they know how to code fairly quickly, imo. I generally have only interviewed Jr candidates though. Fortunately, all the candidates I recommend have been strong hires, unfortunately they all get poached almost immediately by another team.

My ability to effectively manipulate the ORM we use has significantly improved based on the level of effort I’ve spent learning SQL, fwiw. Not really relevant to interviewing but something I think is worth considering

We're building a Rails monorepo and using packwerk. I, personally, don't like it because our company hasn't historically demonstrated any discipline over consistent code organization or separation of concerns, and it's not looking like we're getting any better as we move away from the original monolith. I like having microservices, but it's mostly because I've had the opportunity to work in well defined application spaces as opposed to working in something where it's hard to determine where business logic should go.

What about cloud flare giving you a 502 even though it got a normal 200 response within the timeout parameter causing the request to get retried despite success

The problem with the Microservices video is that they come up with much better dumb names then any developer actually does

Mega Comrade posted:So my company is switching to "Shapeup" . Anyone got any experience with this, I've read the shapeup doc on it. And mostly seems sensible although I have concerns about this company actually sticking to some of the principles, mainly not pulling Devs of work cos some minor bug has been reported by a customer with a lot of clout. The company that recently laid me off tried it. It was a pretty spectacular failure. It sounds really nice, but in practice it’s kind of a mess, especially if leadership isn’t strong about defending the tech org. The biggest issue I observed was that product was terrible at writing pitches and engaging tech leads and sr engineers about the technical side of the pitch resulting in either overly specific or overly broad requests resulting in pitches never finishing in six weeks. This resulted in the two weeks of downtime being spent trying to finish pitches or working with product to refine the pitches that weren’t finished. Additionally, there was an assumption that devs would suddenly only take time off during downtime, which, lol. Ultimately, the failure happened because product and tech could never come to an agreement on what expectations for the entire process would be and the CTO was too weak to provide any direction on the project management framework they decided we had to do. Oh, and he laid off all the project managers deeming them non-essential because suddenly devs will manage themselves! Guess what, devs hate managing projects.

Anyways, the company bought another company and then used the “looming recession” to have two rounds of layoffs, and now the company has almost no one left between layoffs and brain drain and those that do remain are from the purchased company. No, I’m not bitter at all that I found out I was laid off from a coworker who didn’t even still work at the company while I was on parental leave.

“Agile” I believe the WARN act allowed them to lay me off since I got 60 days notice when my leave would have expired. Honestly, I maybe could have pressed it, but it turns out newborns are exhausting mentally and physically and I didn’t.

I learned the most about git when I nuked a remote branch and had to figure out how to fix it with an interactive rebase (my memory is a little vague of what I actually did). Everyone should learn to use git by destruction. Less jokingly, I found the CLI a much better tool for understanding the model of git, but that’s anecdotal. Also, nvim over any ide because why not throw that in there.

You use rebase to clean up your local branch before pushing to remote for code review so they can’t see how many committees it took for you to fix that typo
