This is the way.

Almost nothing is worth my time to dance around their adblock blockers and almost anything on the internet can just be found on a different site.

Rooted in reality Astronaut: Always has been.

Or, it appeals to people that have had had to take over an old codebase where the comments were all lies.

“Code never lies. Comments sometimes do.”

Source?

Docker is like, my favorite utility tool, for both deployment AND development (my replacement for Python virtual environments). I wanted to hear more of why I shouldn’t use it also.

I find Go to be a great language. I read a couple of books on Go as I started learning it, and I learned about some of the items that the author is complaining from those books ahead of time (rather than encountering them as some sort of surprise or bug).

None of the author’s complaints with the language gained traction with me. I understand the complaints, but my reaction certainly wasn’t “I’m lying to myself about this so I can enjoy this language.” Perhaps it’s because my exposure to Go has been more limited than the author’s, or maybe Go is a great language and these complaints are just language features or trade offs that are good to be made aware of. 🤷‍♂️

…one of my early uses of Go was making libraries to be consumed from in a different language’s runtime. This was something the author made sound horrific, but something I was doing as a relatively new person to Go. I had to learn “how” to do it, but it certainly didn’t leave me feeling like it was “extremely hard.”

My condolences. This is the stuff Robert C. Martin talks about in his book “Clean Architecture”; database vendors locking you into their tech.

Your boss isn’t just a developer, he’s a *db developer *. From his perspective, the database is a god rather than a means to store information.

I should add onto my original post that the queries should strive to be as database agnostic as possible. This alleviates a lot of pain when the company decides to move from one DBMS to another.

Is it safe to assume your stored procedures have lots of DBMS specific functions and syntax sprinkled among the code?

I’m in this boat. I just want to see lemmy succeed as a legit Reddit alternative.

"Managing engineer," here. 4-5 developers of various skill levels report to me at any given time.

My time as a whole is roughly spent like this:

• 30% paired programming (assisting developers, helping them troubleshoot, static code analysis looking for a bug they can't find, diagramming a project for them to actually implement)
• 30% administrative (management meetings, performance feedback meetings with my direct reports, weekly one-on-one meetings with my direct reports, approving PTO, etc)
• 10% personal assignments (some sort of debugging/trouble shooting that requires my experience, or maybe putting presentations together to show off new technologies or some projects that we're working on)
• 10% pull request review, providing feedback
• 20% meeting with business stakeholders, gathering requirements, providing estimates, creating agile stories, breaking agile stories into tasks, etc
