i worked with a guy in the distant past who seemed absolutely blind to whitespace differences. poo poo would just be randomly indented and unintended, sometimes by vast amounts, with no rhyme or reason

weirdly enough he also talked about how much he liked using python for some personal project, i have no idea how that was working out for him

he was absolutely loving with you

wow, you could mix tabs and spaces so idents in python would be completely invisible

tab tab tab
space tab tab tab
space space tab tab tab

code:
$ echo "\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\n  \t\t\t" | python

$ echo $?

how good/bad is kafka because apparently some enterprise architect has a boner for it and it's the future for ???

kafka is fine if you need a highly available data store to handle streaming data with storage guarantees and the ability to move a consumer's offset to a different position to replay messages. it's designed for fan-out consumption and is better if you don't need ordering guarantees

it's got some nifty stream processing stuff you can do too

i strongly believe kafka would never have blown up the way it did if aws had just backed sns with persistence, a cursor mechanism, and dynamic consumer declaration

There are some times that I wish we were using jira cloud instead of datacenter but you are helping convince me of the benefits of not being on the bleeding edge

we just switched and it's much better but that's not saying much

Pretty interesting to see a bunch of long termers itt.

I'm coming up to 4 years at my current place and feel like I should move but don't really want to. The place treats me well, I've had consistent pay increases, full remote, team is great, have full control of design decisions etc. There isn't really anything I can say that I dislike about the current position, but I also feel like I'm somewhat pressured to change roles/companies?

I super casually started poking around talking to other places, but most people I've talked to (recruiters/hiring managers) have honestly acted like cunts. As if they are doing me some huge favour even talking to me, despite me having inside knowledge that these companies are hurting for the (pretty specific) type of talent/experience I have...

i think most yosposters are at least 35+ so it's not a surprise that folks itt are in the longer tenure club

this is true, and it pisses me off because there is actually another type of security person. the folks who study encryption, static analysis, etc. this is cool stuff and actually solves security problems. then you have the infosec warriors who use llms to answer questionnaires that were also generated by llms, so both sides can check their compliance boxes, and no actual problems are addressed or even considered

compliance is genuinely the worst thing that's happened to it. it's driven a whole cottage industry of non-technical form fillers that don't care about the impact of their policies they just want to check all the boxes so they can say they did their job
