Used to be my favorite launcher and I, too, abandoned it. Sad, really.

And then I realized it’s python.
That’s what I did locally.
But a lot of this JavaScript wasn’t even transpiled/compiled for prod, just uploaded to a bucket and referenced directly. It was painful.
Typo’d property names when accessing was the biggest one. Assuming a property was one data type instead of another and not casting or handling it appropriately. Accidentally calling something like it’s a method when it isn’t.
I ran a bunch of plugins on my end to help with some of that, but many of the older or stubborn devs refused and would refuse anything but, like, vim with no add-ons.
110% agree. But…
One job I worked at wouldn’t let us do this because it created too large of a QA impact (lol). We were only allowed to modify code in the smallest section possible so that testing could be isolated and go faster.
At another job they mandated that TypeScript wasn’t allowed because it “slowed down development”. It was soooo laughable. The number of bugs introduced that could have been readily caught was absurd, but management never put the two pieces together.
In my defense, the backend contracts change so often in early development the any just made sense at first…
…and then the delivery date was moved up and we all just had to ship it…
…and then half of us got laid off so now there are no resources to go back and fix it…
…rinse, wash, repeat
What would be even more wild is if you edited/replied to yourself and said, “nvm figured it out”…only to later discover it and not remember what you did
This makes no sense. In my entire software development career, no government agency ever built an app in-house. It’s always contracted, to random individuals or companies. So this badge is garbage.
I have to do it quarterly for some reason. Annually would be…better, but still stupid. My doctor even thinks it’s dumb, so he usually just asks me all the rote questions…
…no he doesn’t, he usually goes blahblahblah you’ve been doing this for 10+ years we know the routine. Unfortunately I still have to make an appointment, have an appointment, pay the deductible for said appointment, just to get 3mos of a medication that, thus far, I have a medical need for.
Wow those benefits are amazing.
Wait so it’s possible a Senior Dev outside of London would make $35k??
Holy crap. That’d be a pretty substantial cut for me, but I guess that said, is the COL a lot less?
I’m a full-stack web developer and am involved all the way through including cloud infrastructure, API development, database creation/maintenance, test automation, architecture etc.
I guess what makes a “developer” in your context different? Embedded? Kernel?
What are dev/engineer salaries like in the UK? Been considering places to move to…
I have an S23U and a P8P and I vastly prefer the S23U.
But, if it’s flashability you’re after then it’d have to be the Pixel.
At this point I wonder if they just do this shit to see how many people subscribe to it so they can laugh at our expense.
As a contract software engineer that works with UI/UX designers across multiple industries and technologies, Google’s suggested UI/UX is typically not used.
Outlook does this and it’s stupid and useless.
So is this.
Once things are settled with my current legal crap, I’ll gladly share it. But I’d rather not right now, just in case.
In their defense (maybe a stretch) it could be 1-tab indents with a 1-space display?
I’m trying for their sake.
