I’ve done a lot of “then go get approval from the stakeholder to go ahead with this bug/problem”.
If product wants it out now now now they can sign off on it not working on mobile, so when their boss has a fit about it I can point to the conversation where Ryan said it was fine.
I’ve mostly worked at smaller companies though.
I was a full time test engineer / QA person for a while. My motto quickly became “nothing ever works”.
Pretty much any ticket behind a static copy change would have some problem or oversight. Sometimes even those would (did you account for very narrow view ports?)
Good developers would take this feedback gracefully. “Shit, you’re right, I need to account for mobile users.”
Bad developers would get defensive and upset. “We barely have any mobile users (me: did you check?). Alan already approved so I’m merging. I don’t want to waste time on this”
Here there’s main. You branch off. Do your work. Make a PR to main. Build passes and someone approves, merge to main. Production release is done by tagging main.
The branches are short lived because the units of work we select are small. You have like one pr for an endpoint. You don’t wait until the entire feature with 20 endpoints is ready to merge.
Seems to work fine. I think this is different than trunk based development but honestly I’m not sure I understand trunk.
My hypothesis is the JavaScript ecosystem is like 50:5:1 of junior : intermediate: expert contributors.
That’s why there’s so much “fuck it, I’ll make a new project from scratch!” and “screw conventions I’m making a breaking change”. Those are frankly very junior attitudes, and they feel more common in JavaScript land.
I don’t have any data to back this, but it’s my guess.
That or the ecosystem is just so polluted with bad ideas, people aren’t learning good practices.
I have a hypothesis that a factor is that government needs to work for everyone.
A private company can be like “we only really support chrome”, but even people running ie6 at a tiny resolution need to renew their license.
This pattern only really exists in the game show Jeopardy, and people specifically referencing the show.
With that amount of instruction you’ve done well
There’s probably lots of stuff you don’t even know you don’t know.
Automated testing is a big part of professional software development, for example, and helps you catch things like this issue before they go live.
I didn’t downvote but some people like ideologically dislike orms. The reasons I’ve heard are usually “I can write better SQL by hand”, “I don’t want to use/learn another library”, “it has some limitations”
Those things can be true. Writing better SQL by hand definitely is a big “it depends”, though.
You all run queries against production from your local? Insanity.
I get mildly mad all the time when writing SQL because I feel like it’s upside down
Instead of
select u.id. u.email, p.name
from user u
join persona p on p.user_id = u.id
where u.active = true
where the columns are referenced before they’re defined (like what is u.id? Keep reading to find out!)
it should instead be
from user u
join persona p on u.id = p.user_id
where u.active = true
select u.id, u.email, p.name
Now nothing is defined before it’s used, and you’re less likely to miss your where clause. I usually write the joins first anyway because I know what tables I care about, but don’t know which specific things I’ll want.
I can’t think of any other languages that use things before they’re defined except extremely dysfunctional JavaScript.
I just turned on semantic highlighting and I don’t think I can use this. So many colors! Maybe I’d get used to it
Now it is my turn to be the guy with the steady hand and magnetized needle. I don’t think I use semantic highlighting unless it’s on by default and I never noticed . I might go check it out on Monday.
Do you remember what issues you were having with it?
PyCharm. Does pretty much everything I need. Work paid for it.
I’ve had some coworkers who are more “steady hand and a magnetized needle” and I don’t know how they do it. Like I was collaborating with a guy and watching him manually find and rename stuff was painful. Though I think a lot of people just don’t know how to use their tools. There’s a lot of stuff in pycharm I dont use.
I’m still slightly salty about an old coworker that would use vanilla sublime and make PRs full of easily caught errors. “Can you approve my pr?” “No dude the linter failed. Did you ever set up any of the tooling locally?” “Nah”
Huh that’s weird. Why would u block + Firefox dislike this site…
Off topic but the images from here don’t load most of the time for me. I’m missing out on quality posts! Seems to work for other people, or you’re all just pretending. What do I do? Other communities are fine
Someone told me that those guys were adding all the weapons that Sisko pulls off in a confrontation with the ?Klingons?
Like it’s a subtle foreshadowing that pays off when he’s like “we’ve had people working nonstop for months on upgrades”.
But this is a hazy memory and may be made up.
I understood that reference
