get bug

find slack context

senior describes some stuff as magic and it's unfortunately not working as expected

fml

cant figure out how to refactor legacy code in any clean/acceptable way

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 task

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 it

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 cat

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 terrifying

code so untestable i can't even check if the feature flag to toggle on or off works

we need you to do migrations in a legacy codebase which includes changes against a tool you will not have access to test against

opinions on effective java by joshua bloch?

i fucking hate subversion

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

fml

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 received

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

welp

search engine of choice that isn't google?

i find google doesn't give me what im looking for more often than it used to

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 broken

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 that

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 with

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 package

pick up bug

it sends you into the legacy monolith

despair, lost and hopeless

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 it

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 suppose

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 least

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.

IDE can find symbol, local build passes, yet gitlab build/test pipeline can't

I'm dumb and forgot to commit and push new file

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 changes
