"best practices": same deal

like, I get the drive to avoid doing dumb things but guess what: your org also produces some poo poo, and it also stinks

there's a whole breed of devs who are world class experts on eslint configs and systems architecture but entirely unable to build a operationally same program

more about the previous employer: an outside vendor was leading the development while direct employees like myself twiddled their thumbs because higher-ups intentionally blocked the communication channels. The vendor had hundreds of developers using Spring Everything with layered microservices and strict code linting and named constants for all strings including individual punctuation and and and

The vendor's first version of the app crashed under single-digit user load and the followup version wasn't on track to be any better.

here's one so basic it's easy to overlook

'coding'

yeah that's what some poor schmuck that has to translate medical records into a format that insurance companies can attach dollar amounts to does, it's more or less a 1:1 correspondence thing

gently caress i hate anyone asking me 'are you a coder??' like no i actually figure out how to solve problems (mostly) programmatically and then make it happen

once a neighbor came to me and asked me if i was a coder and i felt a bit ashamed and i told him "yeah, its that obvious huh" and he told me thats because he once saw me carrying computer gear back from the shop

then he asked me which language i use and i said c++ and he was disappointed and said "ah. im a java developer" and he never talked to me ever again

speaking as someone that only uses languages made for dummies, i'm always intimidated by people that do real poo poo

like gently caress a template, gently caress a boost, i'll be writing shell script to the best of my ability, but thank you for your service

memory janitoring is for chumps, it's 2020, we have machines to do that now. C programmers are basically the Amish.

the last place i worked, which was also one of the worst and most inept businesses i've ever been a part of, really liked this word:

'solutioning'

they would often use 'solution' as a verb and every time it underscored that they had no business doing anything with software

it's not a programming buzzword and I have failed to bring it into the mainstream but i hereby reproduce this anecdote from real life with zero exaggeration.


[sitting in a meeting, talking about the release]

VP: so how close are we to the original release plan
Product Manager 1: We're looking at about 70, 80% complete
VP: did [FEATURE] make it?
PM: [pauses] we talked to the stakeholders and decided that given the time frame that [FEATURE] was not happenable


It's great and I love it

Solutioning should mean dissolving bodies in a pool of acid, in my opinion.
