I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.
I think a lot of devs can relate to that
While we’re at it, can we please define enums for the standard logging levels in the stdlib
Who cares if the program has done its job anyway
This works a lot of the time with the people that don’t really care about the review. With those that do it won’t
Focusing beyond the code - as a developer you will code 20% of your time.
Doesn’t sound like a great software engineer to me
In my company everyone is called Software Development Engineer 🤷♂️
Yeah that’s kind of what I meant. People like their days to start at the same time every day. We are creatures of habit.
Everyone on UTC sounds like such a great idea that would solve so many problems.
Unfortunately humans are so dependent on daylight and the day night cycle that it will never work
If you can do it in 2-3 months it’s worth it, else you’re probably not getting paid enough
Basically, they won’t bother sueing you unless you end up making millions off it
But at that point the program will likely not even be reminiscent of its original form
Yeah, let’s not. This is not a good idea
started up notepad, which was the only application it was capable of running
Coding a linked list in C in Notepad and only one syntax error? This guy’s worth the money!
Even less so now that docstrings can be mostly written by AI
Sounds like a great DRY culture to me
Industrial workers in the 20th century probably never imagined being replaced by robots, but it’s happened on a large scale.
There’s still plenty of industrial workers. The same will be true for programmers as AI proliferates.
These jobs don’t go away, they just become more specialized
But I will agree with the general notion that we as programmers are incredible fortunate to be able to work from anywhere, creatively, without physical labor
It does. OSS needs visibility, it needs contributions
GitHub’s community and discoverability features really help with that, as much as it sucks that they got acquired by Microsoft
Let’s be honest here, at least like 98% of the popular OSS is on GitHub at this point. You don’t have to like it, but it’s how things are
These features are part of 3.11, not 3.11.7 🤦♂️
