The trick is to try and think what could those words correspond to in assembly

Lazy load exception anyone?

I discovered basic versions of windows are even more restrictive when I was unable to install my favorite lightweight pdf reader in a friend’s laptop because Windows home just said that for my safety I wasn’t allowed. With no option to bypass this limitation being hinted at.

Ended up installing it anyways but had to run the installer from an admin terminal (luckily it was windows 7 so it was a local account with admin rights instead of a bullshit Microsoft one)

Wait until you try to do something that involves managing child processes

I’m not sure if you’re serious or not.

At my job they unilaterally decided that we no longer had access to our application logs in any way other than a single company wide grafana with no access control (which means anyone can see anything and seeing the stats and logs of only your stuff is a PITA).

Half the time the relevant log línes straight up don’t show up unless you use a explicit search for their content (good luck finding relevant information for an unknown error) and you’re extremely limited in how many log línes you can see at once.

Not to mention that none of our applications were designed with this platform in mind so all the logging is done in a legacy way that conforms to the idea of just grepping a log file and there’s no way the sponsors will commit to letting us spend weeks adjusting our legacy applications to actually log in a way that is useful for viewing in grafana and not a complete shitshow.

I’ve worked with a logstash/elastic/kibana stack for years before this job and I can tell you these solutions aren’t meant for seeing lines one by one or context searches (where seeing what happened right before and after matters a lot), they’re meant for aggregations and analysis.

It’s like moving all your stuff from one house to another in a tiny electric car. Sure technically it can be done but that’s not it’s purpose at all and good luck moving your fridge.

What a nice world you must live in where all your code is perfectly clean, documented and properly tracked.

The base version of IntelliJ is FOSS, and they kinda offer perpetual licenses for their paid applications. If you subscribe for an entire year, you get a perpetual fallback license. It’s just a license for an older version of the software, but you get to keep it forever. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license

You know that any software that requires a login or can update on its own can be bricked at a moment’s notice if someone in legal or accounting changes their mind about the whole “perpetual” thing.

What you didn’t put googling as one of your skills in linked in?

That’s like asking where you can find a published paper and being linked to google.com

What’s worse is googling a specific thing and having the results be just chock full of generic copy pasted thing with similar name

This is more correct

If you think about it the last option is a way to use login via 2fa

The real developer has been inside you all along!

Assuming they didn’t use a penny of those 30k and just kept it stored away in their “in case of Nintendo break glass” case

Autocorrect screwed me on that one haha

My work laptop has pg up and pg down as a secondary on the up and down arrows. It’s such a threat to be able to move up and down a page with just pressing fn and the arrow keys

Can’t we just press buttons in a screen ourselves?

If condition then this else that vs this ?? that

Which option do you think requires less time for a person to identify and understand?

Sure if it’s just your own code do whatever comes natural to you but there’s a reason we don’t use these kind of logical operators in day to day speech is my point.

Ive been a backend dev for 2 years now and I’ve never come across the ?? operator and every time I come across a ternary operator I have to Google in what order comes what.

Not saying it doesn’t make the code more concise and less “noisy” but sometimes a simple if else statement just makes the code easier to mantain

?? Profit

And no one on his team ever understood his code.

Sometimes being declarative is better than being “smart”
