I just want to say this interaction made me happy and I’m glad to have witnessed it. It’s been a shit day and this cheered me up (a little).

It’s wild to me the prices that McDonald’s is near me. You can save quite a bit by using the mobile app and succumbing to their data mining, but I don’t want to do that.
You’re absolutely right that, well, sans alcohol, I can eat at a good chunk of sit-down, nice restaurants in my area for basically the same price as McDonald’s. Which is absurd.
And then I realized it’s python.
At my org the security is so heavy that it’s a multi-step, multi-tier fix (meaning the one Helpdesk person has to escalate, the first tier that gets it has one password but not the other, that has to go to second tier, etc.)
They announced weekend hours all weekend on Friday and given we’re talking tens of thousands of potentially impacted systems, my guess is it absolutely won’t be done by Monday. That doesn’t necessarily mean business is dead in the water, but it’s definitely more chaotic and slow moving.
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
This is the most succinct form of the way I felt growing up I have ever read.
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
Still better than Jerry Seinfeld.
Having owned, partly owned, or at least been very friendly with restaurant and bar owners…
…no, no they do not. Maybe they do if you end up on some radar or something, or get reported? But in general day to day and inspections, no.
Hmm, yeah I’ll have to experiment. Fried eggs I’ve mostly got, but scrambled just ends up leaving a thin stuck mess every time.
Any tips for eggs? I can’t keep eggs from sticking to save my life when using stainless, even with generous oil and/or butter.
You and me both. I’ve been parsing around 10-100 million row CSVs lately and…this will hopefully help.
Wow those benefits are amazing.
Wait so it’s possible a Senior Dev outside of London would make $35k??
In their defense (maybe a stretch) it could be 1-tab indents with a 1-space display?
I’m trying for their sake.
