the bittersweet relief/despair when your veteran senior tells you that it's a legacy mess you're dealing with here, and that's the basis of the tips/strategy/context given in a task1
-
when docker desktop lies to you it updated when you looked to update to latest weeks ago
so you try again and realize there's no fucking progress bar to get any sense of progress -
fuck up some code and the mistake gets noticed later
add tests to cover up my fuck up
get asked to add tests for other existing presumably correct code i did not add or change in the nearby area
so be it4 -
i am an unskilled pussy without strong opinions
sometimes you get conflicting feedback on code reviews from seniors
i'll do whatever you guys want (haven't encountered anything egregious enough that I do have a strong opinion on yet), but y'all may need to sort out how you want me to slice this cat4 -
team lead/senior telling you that you're probably going to break prod and have to patch it for the next couple of weeks when working on one of the first migration epics on legacy monolith, but we'll get good data from it doesn't make it any less terrifying4
-
we need you to do migrations in a legacy codebase which includes changes against a tool you will not have access to test against1

Anybody have opinions on code complete 2? I'm looking to retry reading it.

don't remember what the fuck i did and why i did it rereading a ticket and the pull requests from 6 months ago
on a tech stack i am still unfamiliar with
fml2 -
file names
full capitalized, spaces in between some, mix of underscores and hyphens depending
but it works when i used them raw as is to be supplied for a path to something
didnt even bother escaping anything
should be a pleasant surprise but was told (reasonably considering the situation) to correct what i received1 -
git annotate on note about hsit being deprecated, hoping to trace up that to find what i should use instead
over 800 lines of code changes associated with commit
no pull request or jira ticket associated with it to help me dig
welp1 -
search engine of choice that isn't google?
i find google doesn't give me what im looking for more often than it used to5 -
need to update microservice version used by other service up multiple versions so it grabs new field i need
now im stuck debugging whether or not somebody else broke some shit, i broke some shit, or it was already broken2 -
when the stack trace wasn't included in the error logging
fuck me, how the fuck am i supposed to know where the exception occurred
perhaps i've taken it all for granted thinking that the default toString implementation of an exception would've included that5 -
reality: I saw null in the debugger here, causing the bug
add a null check
IDE: you don't need to check for null, this can't be null
what do you do when you can't trust the tools you work with8 -
receive multi year old confused bug/feature request from a former CEO
why
are there not other people who can immediately answer the questions instead of playing broken telephone when it arrives to me, to go find them
do you not have better things to do with your time and other directional priorities for the company or should i really muck around this low priority thing?
i guess i just lack the CEO M I N D S E T, also the compensation package1 -
waste a few hours trying to debug shit im working on a feature branch, only to check main branch and it turns out somebody else broke main but the dev environment i'm piggy backing on using is cutting edge
i now miss having a separate individual dev environment to use, but i suppose id lose on some perks probably -
attempt neater/cleaner implementation, doesn't work
attempt ugly implementation, it works
maybe one day i'll learn how to write good typescript and react
easier to throw the args around than try to figure out the correct syntax to pass a function to a child component, or not have a react hook closest to where it gets used? -
can't see what i'm doing wrong in terms of syntax, or what required field im supposedly missing
visual comparison against older example IDE is happy about can't see difference
copy paste workign example and update params to what i want for new one, seems happy
i fucking hate you typescript
i guess i should've put this shit through kaleidoscope or any other advanced diff, if i owned any or cared
if i need to debug further ill consider it2 -
i dont know typescript and thus hate it
why can't my fucking ide extract the type of a thing
i've no fucking clue if it's a function or not or the syntax
statically typed language gang rise up,
dynamic can be good for certain use cases and if you know what you're doing i suppose3 -
months ago approve MR on different project done by teammate
completely forget the existence of that project later -
API endpoint returns data on thing with id number you specify
request data on certain id numbers
gives response data on different id than what you requested
how fucking horrifying
we depend on this thing, but we don't own it at least3 -
WhaT DO you DO oUTsiDE oF wORK? tell ME SOmETHiNg INtereStInG, PreFerABLY noT RelaTED To yOUR joB Or iNdUStry.
You think I have "time" outside of work? I fucking huff copium like every other fucking wageslave, and we ain't fucking friends so I'm not going to divulge the exact types and flavors of choice for me to be judged.
I don't have the time, money or energy to fucking have some respectable instagrammable hobbies for your stupid like about wanting well rounded people.
We both know all you need from me is to not be an asshole.
At a certain point it feels like the industry is going to compete with girls for shit-testing people except we have whiteboarding leetcode as well.7 -
IDE can find symbol, local build passes, yet gitlab build/test pipeline can't
I'm dumb and forgot to commit and push new file1 -
AWS typescript: Your function name can't be longer than 64 characters
how about you tell me what the function name is and where it's located so i can find and fix it?
my code changes don't even have any 64 character length functions , they don't even have any typescript changes3 -
month off on vacation
come back to work and try to remember shit
struggle to decipher/remember public wiki documents you wrote prior to vacation
ugh
