It literally did that just yesterday. I need to retrain for a new job. Something with wood or plants in general I think.

As someone who is not quite junior, but not quite senior, do it. It might just get me promoted ಠᴗಠ
You did so great on that case, were having a pizza party for the whole office!
- harlyson@lemm.eeEnglish1 year
Sounds like I’ve been promoted to the guy that eats the entire pizza by himself

… tell me again why you thought plugging into the prod server was a good idea?

Man, I remember one time someone at the office sent out an email inviting everyone to a potluck at the office. Then later went “jk, that was meant just for our group” and I responded with this, except change theme park to potluck.

Someone reported me. I was only told not to do that again. Always wondered who the killjoy was.

Oh I got a N+3 involved.
Not my fault but I was the only guy who could solve. That was a fun three weeks of daily Is It Fixed Yet meetings…

My God, it even has a watermark.
I’m the reason we get a safety meeting today, if that counts? 😊

Sure, and it counts double if code you wrote was the reason for the safety meeting.

I shudder at the thought of the ancient 1000+ lines Perl scripts… The seal must not be broken
- Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.comEnglish1 year
I honestly still use Perl for small scripts as a Bash alternative. It is very powerful and is already installed everywhere. I just try not to use it for things others might have to work on…

As staff engineer, I’m far too busy to read any of these comments. Also I haven’t written any code in 4 years
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥@lemmy.worlddeleted by creator

Oh don’t worry, I get myself involved in plenty. I prefer to make problems at the architectural or “leadership” level though.

… instead of following youtrack to the letter, leaving me to rewrite half of it before the merge 😔

Pre-commit code reviews, preferably in person or at least live, are a great way to learn and teach. They explain what they did and why, you suggest alternatives.
Doing it pre commit is best because it it’s done later, they’ve already moved on.
And the learning goes both ways.

I usually am, I am support and I ask questions about features so old and undocumented that no one else knows the answer.

Or the author left and no one really knew what their job involved. Had one like that recently, tried to contact someone only to find out they have left. Oh, ok well who handles the content template site now? Oh, me? No one told me about this or how to use it.
How the fuck does one get out of junior dev status? I’m at like 3.5 YoE and stuck in it.
Lmao. I’m in charge of migrating a C codebase to Rust, so I don’t think I’ll be lacking in that department.
- HappinessPill@lemmy.mlEnglish1 year
Now just go to work and casually say " I’m feeling very senior today" .
Lmao they foisted it onto me because I’m the only one who knows a semblance of Rust.
I’m likely going to commit suicide. With the way life’s been going, I may actually end it all tomorrow.
