knowing majority of them support the agression against Ukraine

Do make me laugh with your sources.

It’s. A. Text. Editor.

Are you referring to any political views its author might’ve had? 'Cos all i could find is some charity stuff.

How is a text editor political?

Java is to Javascript what car is to carpet or somesuch

Corpos nagging corpos? I’ll get the popcorn.

No gold likes on lemmy? So sad…

Surely you’re not gonna blame the manager… /s

Right off the bat i read

One standout statistic was that projects with clear requirements documented before development started were 97 percent more likely to succeed. In comparison, one of the four pillars of the Agile Manifesto is “Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation.”

You need clearly defined requirements to write a good user story. Documentation comes after.

However, while the Agile Manifesto might have its problems, those stem more from its implementation rather than the principles themselves. “We don’t need a test team because we’re Agile” is a cost-saving abdication of responsibility.

Precisely, once once have i worked in a company where agile was properly implemented and, yes, user stories were well documented and discussed before being developed. All others are just waterfall in disguise, or Fragile™.

A common case is a function that uses resources like opening files, sockets, whatever. If there’s an error you want to ensure a clean exit, so at different parts of said function you goto the end where you check if said resources are being used and release them before exiting.

Cleaner than constantly checking at every error.

I get that but it seems as though no one cares at all about efficiency these days.

When your CPU clock is measured in megahertz, your RAM is measured in kilobytes

Ah yes, the good ol’ days when developers programmed for efficiency.

You mean SpaghettiFactory()

Maybe for your use-cases, for mine i find it quite useful.

Why the -ng-?

goto does have some uses, such as single exit point, but should be used sparingly.

Team of one here tends to work on master only for very small stuff.

There’s a branch for the next release which will get merged once everything’s done. Occasionally there are smaller branches that fork off of the release branch and get merged back.

Meanwhile master is, most of the time, an old copy of the new release branch so merging goes without issue. Unless there’s a problem in prod, then it gets fixed in master and backported to the feature branch.

I should use feature toggles more (usually #ifdef, sometimes if (config_Flag)), occasionally a big feature creeps in and i know management will change it at least 3 times and 2-3 new releases will come out in between…

Generally speaking, my approach is “on the internet no one knows you’re a dog”. I tend to containerize my activity and keep as much PII away from the internet as possible.

I have a few accounts on the fediverse because otherwise the conjunction of regional data, interests and languages would easily identify me. Not that i generally do dumb stuff (but i can easily get flagged if i touch… hot topics, you must pander to certain groups otherwise you’re immediately the villain, very free the fediverse), it’s just that the internet hasn’t quite evolved the way i was expecting it 30 years ago and surveillance capitalism is now a thing, among other factors. I provide as little and as fake information as possible when creating accounts.

As far as the professional sphere goes, all recruiters will ever see is a simple LinkedIn profile. I don’t have much time to do pet projects, unfortunately, and certainly wouldn’t host them on github - forgejo and codeberg ftw.

I guess the flipside of not being so public is that you get to be an asshole behind a keyboard, eh?

Misread Dell for a second there and was wondering why were they screwing around with ASCII…

I can’t shake the feeling that administrative stuff only grows because people need to justify their jobs.
