@retoor Never gonna meow you up!

@retoor Totally!

@retoor How do I explain this? lol. Ok, it's like this:
It's an assignment that takes the result of a predicate expression: Somewhere in memory, the public property pace of the softwareDevelopmentIndustry object will get assigned the value of the expression evaluated to the right of the equals sign. An expression is any combination of operands and operators that evaluates to a value.
A ternary expression is as follows:
condition ? expressionIfTrue : expressionIfFalse;
expressionTrue = true. This gets interpreted as: if true == true, so it semantically means: always, in all cases. So, always rush the employee, no matter what: manager.rush(employee)
expressionIfFalse = fictionalLand.takeItEasy(); This never gets executed because the left expression is already true.
softwareDevelopmentIndustry.pace = true ? manager.rush(employee) : fictionalLand.takeItEasy();
This pattern gets used commonly in reading files:
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) -
@retoor Is that a joke? lol. The language is JavaScript and it's a ternary operator. Hm. I ran it myself without error.
-
I think the point is to conform to industry standards and feel better about faux-progress.. lmao.
It's one thing to conform to a methodology verbatim and it's another to adapt it to your own project in creative ways. -
@cafecortado Ah, not like me, 90% of my evenings. lol
-
I see people do that all the time. It seems to me they don't understand the limitations.
-
@lorentz Lots of reflection is used in this monster of a system.
-
@AlmondSauce This is DevRant, where people rant. It's for an existing, overly complex system for what it is. This complexity is not needed. It's written by lazy devs who put together spaghetticode.
That's where my complaint was. -
@netikras Sometimes Gen X gets tired of the same old things.
-
@iceb They should listen to logical reason, not to likeability.
-
@sideshowbob76 Concise and wise advice.
-
Yes, Developer gets associated with code monkey.
-
@jiraTicket It is a tip for it and it is not out of context.
-
@shovethisrant I see your point there.
-
This reminds me of GitHub is down. lmao
-
A culverin? I play too much Age of Empires. lol
-
@taylorswift I need certs because I have to somehow show them that I am marketable in x and y framework. I'm on severe time constraints so I don't have time to build something nor get certs. It's a tough situation. All that's left now is apply for more jobs.
-
@Crost Mine was much more severe and required us to have broad insight. They were very scientific, structured and methodical.
-
@BobbyTables Precisely (wait, can things in OOP still be precise? lol).
-
@joewilliams007 I had verified these things and I figured the dash and the apostrophe: - ' wouldn't be invalid characters, which is why I was puzzled by it.
-
@electrineer The HTTP response in itself does not provide objective debug information.
-
I would say: keep observing and watch out for any red flags. They are usually a sign to get out.
-
@AnxiousADHDGuy That's the thing: those two events were disconnected and they were for two different frameworks. In one case I kept struggling for a month to make a simple demo project because I didn't know any of the internals of the framework and the theory behind how it works, while in the other case (other framework) I first sat down and studied for a few weeks before I attempted a demo project. During the studying time I didn't do any practice. The theory helps a lot.

@KDSBest When the company doesn't throw the excuse "We have no time for tests" at me. lol
-
@sariel Again, if they have the budget. lmao. Some companies can barely afford three developers and nothing else; no extras.
-
@sariel Then indeed I am. The company has to have sufficient funds to afford more than a handful of developers in the first place and a lot of companies don't have that money.. lmao.
-
Product Owners suck.
-
@electrineer Compulsory, like a lot of things in the business world.
-
@electrineer Yes.
