Including myself, 3 devs out of 22 devs.

@mr-user Depends. It can happen but most of the time I get informed.

@magicMirror More like three meetings scheduled back-to-back at lunch time.

@lambda123 The thing is, that I actually like those complications. Or at least I used to.

@melezorus34 Right now, new things are mostly just frustrating. Like "I don't have enough time, just work already. The old thing needs my attention."

@mr-user It's much more complicated than that. Mainly because the updates and changes happen in the infrastructure, rather than code. It's pretty big and not that simple to replicate the whole k8s cluster in testing.

Update: Around five hours after I posted this, we experienced two somewhat major incidents at work. I'm never complaining of boredom ever again :)

@Tounai Not high, but sleep deprived enough to read "TOO" as an acronym (T.O.O) and wonder if it's the new TDD or something, lol.

I'm more of a pleading person. I beg the computer/my program to please work correctly 😁

You forgot "Update".

I used to not care about mental health. I ignored the signs and the warnings then I suffered the consequences. Now I know better. So, to answer your question, yes, it is important to me.

@NickyBones If you can give me some specifications or requirements, maybe I could hook you up with someone? Preferably a girl candidate?

@Fast-Nop In other words, she probably has a strong motivation and family and friends nagging to her to choose something feminine did not make her change her mind.
I do agree that money is a factor too but since women aren't considered the main bread winners, that actually does give them some level of freedom. Their job isn't considered as important as their husband's. I would like to add that this is mostly the mainstream/older generations' beliefs and the younger generations are more open-minded.

@Fast-Nop Not sure about Iranian guys needing discipline or not. But when it comes to choosing majors/jobs, there is a level of masculinity/feminity associated with it which is more pronounced here than Western countries and people are mostly pressured into choosing a job that is aligned with their gender. The ratio of women to men in my university is something around 1:3 I think and it becomes as low as 1:5 when it comes to cs/ce/ee. There are software companies around here that quite openly don't hire women (to these companies I would like to say that do you guys code with your dicks? And that's why you can't hire women? I code with my head and type with my fingers and I think I'm pretty competent).
So I would say that if a girl in Iran has chosen to work in cs, she probably is passionate enough to to have overcome the social pressure around choosing a job that is considered somewhat masculine.

@NickyBones Yes, it is. Probably in the top 15 I think.

@NickyBones Not sure about robotics because a lot of universities don't have a robotics major around here. The closest major would probably be either Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. But in general Sharif University of Technology, University of Tehran and Amirkabir University of Technology are considered the top three universities in Iran, so you couldn't go wrong with either of them. SUT and AUT in particular only offer STEM fields and SUT is considered the MIT of Iran (I might be a bit biased, I did graduate from SUT after all 😁). Honorable mentions: Shahid Beheshti University, Shiraz University, University of Isfahan and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.

@Fast-Nop Am Iranian. Can confirm. Although there are people who agree with the government, a wide majority don't, or at least don't care about someone's nationality. Working for another government could be different though. I personally don't care.

@AlmondSauce No, they don't. They're alright with me taking time off but we're a bit understaffed so we usually don't take time off unless it's really dire, so that we don't put extra pressure on each other (I know it's not the best mentality). And unfortunately last night wasn't my worst shift.

@black-kite Totally.

Yep, hard reset every single time. Works like a charm.

Who? Me?

Yes. This.

I see kuber, I click ++
Also hope your problem gets solved soon.

@pmso It has already been more than a month here 😞

@Stuxnet :D
I do use a PyCharm for Django and another editor for other languages. And I don't even code in a language that requires semicolons anymore. I meant semicolon as a symbol to all bugs. :)

From what I've heard, it does have a long (1-2 weeks) "hidden" period, where you have the virus and you are also contagious and you can give other people the virus but you do not have any symptoms.

Embrace incognito 😊

@Kashmir Actually, it's not the company; it's me 🙂

@SortOfTested I'm kinda forced to work remotely right now.

@Kashmir Too many distractions at home. Also, I miss the face-to-face interactions and socializing with my co-workers.
