@Lensflare I wonder if they actually makes money. I assume there is no one using a random crematory from Alabama here

@Lensflare Isn't this for every framework /language in the world? If you are not doing it correctly, then it will be a pain in the ass to maintain it.

But I guess graphql is just largely misunderstood and an easy way to offload backend responsibility to the frontend.

For step 6, its a secondary key part of the hardcoded default fields but not defined in the db as a secondary key and there is no relationship to that table

@D-4got10-01 I'm not even blaming him. I thought for a long time that emojis were standardized. I only learned more about it when Discord changed away from the Twitter library for emojis (i think).

@D-4got10-01 The CEO at my previous job reported that Windows & Mac colours looked different... It was in fact the same colours, just a different display type. We explained it to him but unsure if he understood it; he made a new complaint 2 months later where the colours on his laptop screen looked different than his second monitor that he was using.

@hjk101

Deadline has been pushed back (thank god), the senior backend dev wants to give the user access to alter the table with thousands of records (currently still 1) in it. Like not changing the price for all products at once (but also that), but giving the user the possibility to drop the "price" column. I posted this on a previous rant, some people gave me advice. I tried to suggest that and it was denied, not even to backup the data first or to soft delete it.

He also wants that the frontend is able to define all database tables, i tried his query and he copy pasted so much code that an other unrelated secondary key is always added to that new table.

It's a mess

Rule 1 regarding gambling:

The house always wins.

I wonder, what are these tests about? I never had to do any take-home tests. People asked for my github profile but they never asked to do a project for them.

Heck, I'm helping with a MMO community. The amount of questions on the discord Q&A channel with "how to do 'mechanic' in this raid encounter" with paragraphs of clearly AI generated body is so annoying to read.

or a different guild were the leader is from lebanon. Struggles to speak English and makes announcement with chatgpt. The differences in typos, uppercases & punctuation between him casually chatting and making announcement is such a difference. (but that guild had a lot of drama, I can write a book about it)

At this point, I rather try to decipher a broken English text that is clearly written by a human than deal with AI bullshit.

Or the amount of clearly AI generated projects in /r/sideprojects or /r/react is so demotivating. They don't even solve a human need and people claim "look at what i've learned to code"

@AlgoRythm there is a also https://my.devplace.net/ but it's still in development afaik

Is it me or are these kind of issues getting more and more common?

@Hazarth Honestly, I would be able to answer that IF HE PUSHES HIS CODE TO THE REPO REMOTELY. He also wanted to spin up a testing environment with their own database etc on each git branch. We have 2 devs in total and not even a testing department.

But judging the code I can see that is older than my time at that company, yes... yes, it is AI assisted judging by the total comments alone.

@hjk101 They meant those smaller multi-line examples (like in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/...)

Using documentation to understand the needed functionality was OK. But not copy paste examples from the docs

On a side note, I do wonder if the teacher of the class 'databases 1' has upgraded her computer away from Windows95

She used to type very fast but it was amusing that she had to wait half a minute till her text slowly appeared on the projected screen character by character.

Oh man, spotting AI bullshit on forums will now even be harder :(

What is even the point nowadays to be part of a bigger website

@TeachMeCode It was discussed and senior said that it will be their problem if they fuck up. But they had previously an unhappy employee that was fired that did unwanted changes in their old application.

@AlgoRythm I would love that but I'm doubtful that we will get this in v1.

@whimsical touché

@TeachMeCode For more context, the application would be used internal by 8-ish users. But they are responsible that the whole dataset is correct It's a lot of work for them and management wants to move a few of them to a different project (hence the project + cost price of that existing product). The tool that they used was generic but heavily adaptable and very powerful for their use-case. They want the same (overkill) use-cases

@whimsical yep; jokes aside, family-related stuff

@D-4got10-01 Only 22 work days to implement this backend into the final product that will go live. Oh man, I want to move to a place where they cannot contact me.

@afaIk But you could also be fired less fast

@afaIk Reading other complaints on reddit, it does seem the US market is a big fan of never getting back to their candidates :p

I'm not a backend developer but my previous job used it a lot and i never understood why;

They claimed costs, but the lambda communicates with a django application hosted on AWS.

They claimed it was more secure but the rest of the API was not built with security in mind

Modularity; but people complained finding the correct lambdas that they had to work on

Scalability; but the bottleneck was simply not scalable

Easier deployment; yes but it made deployment management a nightmare at that job

What i've heard during dailies, it looked flawed but backend devs loved it and yet complained a lot about it.

So i'm also interested what makes it appealing

What band did you see :o

Those website that hijack your scrollbar and has some custom scroll animations are even worse. They do look nice but i hate them so much

@whimsical Yea, it's a stupid system and our structure has so many loopholes. A typical IT package includes company car, fuel/charging card, eco voucher, insurance, smartphone, phone subscription, sport voucher

Heck, my previous company even gave us a monthly budget to buy literature related to our job... But you guessed it, nobody used it for that and just pocketed the €5 (which was taxed less compared to adding that €5 to the salary after taxes). Same for money for your car wash etc.

Those stuff are not added to your salary before taxes but only after taxes

But I did expect the pay raise to be max 33% but only seeing a difference of 4.2% stings. (To be fair, my salary uses less loopholes is less optimized but still).

@AlgoRythm I still don't understand how one of the riches countries never made it mandatory for workers to take x days of holiday. Apparently companies in the US are not even forced to give PTO. In most of EU countries, it is at least 20 days by law excluding the holidays like xmas.

For the remaining 12 days, our work week by law is 38 hours but a lot of companies employ their workers for 40 hours and give them then 1 day holiday per month when employed at that company. If you start in begin of November, that would only be 2 days. So this way, you have 32 days of holiday (but more like 20 days of holiday and 12 days of overtime that you can take whenever).

Even companies are forced for their employees to take the 20 mandatory holidays off, they can get fined if there is proof that they try to stop the workers from taking it. (and employees are taxed a lot if they do not take those days).

Heck, we even have the right to take 2 consecutive weeks off in the summer.

@freshlyfe Thanks, I'm located in West-Europe

@wojtek322 It's the end of the work day and he still has delivered : ) :) :) :) :)

@D-4got10-01 Oh wow, it's also posted here. I saw it on a linkedin post lol
