@melezorus34 one of our internal dependencies, Foo, bumped their React version. They bumped the bug version when bumping Foo and it busted a couple of other projects as Foo was used in multiple places. That had been backed out, Foo's major version was bumped, and we have added resolution blocks in several of our package.json's to help prevent against this in the future. We also have cards to upgrade those projects to React 18 so we can try and keep the same level across the company

Turns out it was because a dependency got updated. The updated dependency uses React 18, we were on React 16, and they didn't want to play nicely with eachother

I've been working in the jenkinsfile lately with groovy. I'm not a Java dev. I've found it helpful to have a bunch of small, well named functions, and a bunch of comments. Especially when I'm connecting to the local shell and passing bash commands

When will management learn: if every thing is the highest priority, nothing is high priority

The 3 hardest things in computer science are
1) naming variables, functions, etc.
2) off-by-one errors

@martengooz pick up the phone. Just remember your consultant fee is triple what they paid you

I did this a couple weeks ago. "It's just a text change" until there's flags that were removed for testing that only one guy new about

@kiki thats bullshit, and I hope you never have to deal with that again. Anything we can do to help get you back in the right headspace?

The idea, to my understanding, is that you think less about the style and take more risks. But you need to be in that zone, it's pretty touchy

@masterwayne That's too many hats. It wouldn't really have been an issue if the conversation hadn't taken 20 minutes before

Haven't done another country, but VM through VPN sucks. Be scared

I prefer the more verbose because I find it easier to read if you are joining and aliasing several tables in a large query

Same reason every example you find has "foo" and "bar". Someone used those ports specifically, and someone else went "Oh, that looks like a good idea" and now everyone uses them because everyone else uses them. You can use any port that isn't currently being used

@coder-guy just re-read that. *should'nt. should not feel like you're justifying your paycheck

Scrum, working properly, should feel like you're justifying your paycheck at your stand up. And the stand up should be nice and short. Here's what I did yesterday, here's kind of what I'm doing today, these are the blockers I had/have.

If you need a degree consider a tech school

This is one of those "We'll never need this again..." kind of things where the very next person to find it has to look at the annotations because no one will admit to writing this shit show. The author did things to this code that are going to require the keyboard to use a teddy bear to explain what happened.

My experience with Java is GWT. I hate GWT, and by extension, Java. I hear it's great...but GWT...

Upvoted, but...
Boooooo, hiss, booooooo

@AlgoRythm
I respect your opinion, but I think you're wrong.

Is the Python one based on English? Yes
Is the "normal" ternary operator difficult to read? Yes
Can I handle the change, or will my head explode? Change would kill me.

That's the only argument I have against what you wrote

I like JS, but I dislike PHP.
I can JS in the backend, but I prefer to C#

Don't say anything. Just laugh in stressedOut

For those that do not know, in python, a variable that starts and ends with two underscores is a "Dunder"

If I'm repeating, my apologies.
Start at C. Not C++ (please don't start with python), start with, C. When you have the basics down there, all the other languages will come much easier.

@AlmondSauce
Even had I tried to misrepresent myself, there was a technical coding session. This is a language I've worked in for 5 years, and a framework that I used for about 3 of those. I know that I know the material, I'm always just worried that I'm not there. I just feel really junior sometimes. Like I'm still stuck in the "Fake it 'till you make it" stage.

Because you feel it should be included in the price? Or because you really don't know why you should buy SSL?

It's a very different world from what I'm used to. I've got it downloaded and running locally. Haven't worked with Wordpress before this, don't wanna work with it now

@mannodermaus
I caught on too late

I feel like that is probably the perfect debug partner
