I've had the same experience with golang, right down to rewriting my discord bot in it. I agree that I like the consistency of errors, but I also agree with some of the other people in that when you have consecutive functions that can return errors, it gets a little verbose and reminds me of some c++ library error checking.
In general though, it's been a nice language that I haven't been able to work enough in!

I had no idea uncle bob was like that. I'm appalled.

@TRex glad they're both simple and straightforward for yourself. I however still have some work to do in understanding how to implement them.
Third year of my degree.

While I do agree with the rant in terms of the general opinion, I also think that it's due to lack of information.
If people that just played games (i.e. know nothing of development or the workings of the game industry) were to understand the situations Devs are put into, they'd be more understanding.
I'm sure there are plenty of *Gamers* that are clued into news around the game industry, and while that doesn't absolve the gaming community as a whole of this misplaced blaming or even scratch the surface for being able to say they "understand" what game Devs go through.
I'd like to hope that in an ideal world, Devs can still enjoy their work and know that there are people out there that play their games and appreciate the hard work that goes into making them.

@platypus I was joking about that to my friends, but it's actually not a bad idea, should they keep wanting to take up my time.

@jonii I wouldn't mind if it were my fault. Instead myself and the other developer on the project have been given the task of meeting an impossible deadline.
Both of us have been working 12+ hour shifts all week.
Boss just says "great work guys, keep it up". Client keeps piling on must haves.

I like to keep it pretty clean

I tend to side towards IntelliJ after using Jetbrains stuff for a year in a uni project and for placement this year.
They're resource hogs, but I've grown used to the testing and debugging integrations.

ps. I'm jealous of your setup!

I've found unless it specifically asks for documentation of the code, or to comment to explain things that aren't entirely clear to the one marking, avoiding it altogether is the way to go with university/college work.

For what it's worth, some of the Asus "gaming" notebooks of late aren't too bad. Still keep the aggressive design, but you don't feel *that* embarrassed to pull it out at work.

@kunashe I don't think there's room for negotiation as to when we stop or hand it over. We have a large piece of work, and whatever else needs done to finish by the 6th.
From then on it's not our business, unless they come back and pay for support.

@MadHatrix I would also have thought. Apparently half the bill was paid the day after, the remainder to be paid when an investor comes through.
Sounds like a good deal, right?

@fullsnack-dev likely having other people do their assignments for them. We only had one first year assignment, but we were supposed to have two.

The second one was cancelled after a very large number of plagiarism investigations. We ended up having a test which was mostly multiple choice. There was no coding, rather, there were drag and drop segments where you'd have to move bits of code into the correct place, leaving code you weren't used in a specific marked area. Woe betide the person who left the sole curly brace under a block of three lines.

something about this rubs me the wrong way..

One factor too many in my 2FA. If only there were some alternative without an extra step..

@Farwa I survived the week, so that's nice.
I got a fair amount done. Fixed the service (it's running fine as of now), and got some new functionality (Security Questions) implemented (back, front and in between).

Sadly, the client didn't see it that way, as the sprint ended on Friday before I could test things in regression, so the tickets fell over to this sprint (and were cleared off on Monday morning before lunch).

I had a 2 hour phonecall on Monday evening having him tell me how little work I had done, and how he was very disappointed in my efforts.

As such, there are *only* 30 tickets in this sprint, some of which are massive tickets and will not get done, for definite.

:' )

That's why companies try to give benefits for working for them: like fun activities to do with co-workers, and nights out. That way it seems like you almost have a social life :' )

Just Monika.

@heyheni pretty much. thanks for the advice

@Mushyyy Not quite, kancolle

Usually, for consistency the second style. I'm not opposed to a, b = true; but I don't use that nearly enough myself.

gg dude, try some ji++ :^)

Don't worry guys, it might be finishing up soon

Dark! Late nights have put me onto it indefinitely.

@deadpool88 they were the first thing to go!

@Linux sadly I updated some stuff and shut it off last night when I took it back to mine so I can't post it

@Lukas I think they're only using it for emailing and some web browsing, so a factory reset might be where I go. Removing bloatware first!
