Another classic javascript wat

I err on the side of splitting because of what Scratch just said. If I give my colleague 2k lines to review it’ll get slapped with a LGTM and passed. If I send them 100 lines they’ll actually look at it.

Not to brag but I just merged this. Felt so good.

I think people aren’t really getting what you’re trying to say but you’re right.

I mean I saw some posts advocating for turning DOGE employees into “pink mist” and going to visit them at their home. I don’t see enough Reddit to know if it’s a problem in other subs but the fact I saw those messages means they were getting good reach.

My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.

We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

def authorized?
  current_user&.authorized?
end

Or business decides all specs and design decisions that were made last quarter were actually garbage and yes we do want to be able to manually override every step of the carefully designed state machine. We’d like to be able to manually change all calculated sales data, but also the data needs to remain in a consistent state at all times. Oh and while you’re there, we decided the commission calculations will use a different system from now on. We expect it to be online by the end of the week, thanks.

Probably depends on the deal they made for selling our data. Could be a gold mine for em. Here’s hoping for a big crash down to earth though.

Maybe in enterprises settings what you say makes sense, but for the small to medium startups I usually work for, RoR is great. It’s super easy to prototype and switch lanes. If I had to do what I do in Java I’d go insane. As for Delphi…

The RoR “magic” being obtuse is extremely exaggerated most of the time and more meme than reality. If you think PHP is better, by which I guess you mean Laravel, how on earth is that less “magical”? React? Next? I’ll take Ruby any day.

I mean I’ve been using ActiveRecord for the last 20 ish years and I’ve never encountered or even heard of this bug. Sounds like you came across an especially obscure one.

Ragging on older generations though, comedy gold.

They missed “oh nevermind, I fixed it” without explaining how or ever commenting again.

Do engineers take some sort of hippocratic oath?

Nvim & tmux gang! I’m always happy to see a reasonable number of people mentioning vim in these threads. Need that affirmation that I’m not just a dinosaur.

Ah Emacs.

I see the value, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it :p

Speaking as a member of the vi tribe, I appreciate VSCode and understand why someone would prefer it, even if I don’t myself.

Agreed. I’ve known a lot more self-taught folks worth their salt than those with degrees. And those with degrees almost all started coding before they got to the university age.
