Bet there’s some stellar ales around there

Okay, fine, rainier part

That’s a weird emoji to use for elixir

Nah that’s in the Netherlands

GIGO

Well I live in a rainy part of the UK, and we basically had rain all month, so longer showers are probably more likely helping avoid the reservoir flooding over here

I guess the one upside to this situation is our water isn’t even metered, we just pay a flat rate every quarter

The internet has broken my brain.

scnr is a new one on me and in an attempt to figure it out, my brain did not land on the now rather obvious “sorry, could not resist” but “skibidi cap no rizz” as some kind of ironic initialism

I’m gonna go and find some grass now

You don’t need to be skilled in something to get enjoyment out of it

Likewise you don’t necessarily get enjoyment out of something just because you’re skilled in it.

I’ll add to the other person who replied:

Most work in this industry is done in teams, if you can’t effectively communicate and get on with your team members, you’re gonna have a bad time.

It’s even baked into the hiring process everywhere I’ve worked, most of the time an organisation would prefer to take a lower skill candidate if they seem like they’d get on well with everyone Vs a highly skilled candidate that would rub people up the wrong way.

It’s a lot easier to fill gaps in engineering ability compared to coaching someone how to behave around people

I’m a software engineer

You’re not getting anywhere above entry level in this industry without social skills

Holy shit, a week delay is mad

void

Does that not put JS (node) back on the table?

I’d say it’s the low level language doing the heavy lifting, python or JS in this scenario are just front-ends.

Hell, I think FORTH has C bindings, that’s not power, that’s mental illness

Well, I can see your post on l.w, so it’s not a total disconnect!

I wonder if there are any bugs in the new version of lemmy—do you know if mander has updated yet? The l.w admins tend to drag their heels updating because of some previously rough update experiences (I think mostly down to the size of the instance compared to others)

There were some issues with federation last time, perhaps it’s something similar

IIRC JavaScript + TypeScript is the biggest demographic of engineers in the industry if you go by GitHub stats

I suppose you could call that power in a way

Never go full APL

releases a change where all routes accidentally go to the error page controller

🤷‍♂️ They’re 4xx errors, won’t be us

Briefly some form of DOS on an Amstrad PC when I was very young, then Windows 95

My first Linux was a few years later with Mandrake IIRC, which I dual booted with Windows 98SE

Been running combinations of Linux and windows since then, with MacOS getting involved in the 2010’s too

Well I didn’t say anything about perfectly clean, but I agree, it’s very nice to work on my current projects which we’ve set up our observability to modern standards when compared to any of the log vomiting services I’ve worked on in the past.

Obviously easier to start with everything set up nicely in a Greenfield project, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good—iterative improvements on badly designed observability nearly always pays off.
