I’ll wait until modern web developers figure out how to do things without a bazillion dependencies that have new critical vulnerabilities every week and release backwards incompatible versions every month or so.

Also I don’t like shipping several MB of JavaScript to the user just for a fancy looking form.

I was hoping for HP Lovecraft

In my 15+ years of experience many of the actual field problems are not language / programming related at all. Unclear requirements or clear but stupid requirements cause loads of issues. These are often caused by communication problems between people and / or organizational issues.

It depends a lot on the industry of course. For embedded software, low level networking etc I mostly agree with you. However, in business applications or desktop applications it’s from my experience mostly bad requirements / communication.

I’ve seen that. Used for customer service history AND planning with 3-digit week numbers (the first digit is the last digit of the year) and a lot of macros. Guess who had to fix the macros in 2020 without changing the idiotic 3-digit week numbers?

I misread the title as “then losing internet” and wondered how that happened

Oracle databases also break their spirit. I’ve used the Oracle DB MCP server with an agent based ChatGPT 4o and it got stuck in a ever more desperate loop because the MCP Server listed the table names but in SQL you had to quote them if they are not all uppercase. Empty strings are also “special” in Oracle… It was funny and sad to read what the model tried to do to solve the problem.

Yeah, leave some breadcrumbs so the investigators can find out what happened at the crime scene

I’m pretty sure that most unit tests don’t check for memory leaks

Ok, I get it now. I was also wondering what our scrum masters were doing the whole day. They always had a mentoring side hustle and some pet projects. Now we they’re all gone.

And tons of paper

I don’t quite understand

That’s as old as leet speech

The performance view thing that comes with windows also allows searching for file handles but it’s not very user friendly. Also not possible without admin rights if I remember correctly

You can use this performance view thing that comes with windows to search for file handles and the processes that own them

Hah I think some people are Aliens and they don’t want me to be fast enough to do it. Hey, I’m sorry to bother you can I find the same guy who came in the morning and said that he was going back in the past?

Well maybe the beneficiaries can edit their benefits themselves?

Yes, I have had these thoughts and the call of the void. I never had them when working with databases though (I try to avoid SQL) so my thoughts went in a different direction.

Thank you.

I don’t get it. Maybe I don’t work enough with databases or it’s because English isn’t my native language. I know what drop DB does in SQL but it’s also not a relatable thought for me and I also can’t detect any pun. Also: Why have all the other organs eyes? If there’s any organ with eyes connected to it, shouldn’t it be the brain?
