why the hell do you think that Microsoft would want you to use your basic SMTP server when they want you to use an exchange server? Of course they deprecated that. If you’re using windows then use their ecosystem.

You see it a lot with Java devs or others who think in OOP objects and then try to simply push those to a table. That said it’s a little more rare now, since most ORMs helpfully auto-creates PKs for you as an int or uuid.

Yea… this is like a high school level DB class test problem, but you’d be surprised how many adult developers don’t stop to think about DB stuff…

I’d imagine mostly because, at least with some jobs, a dead parrot could be successful because the success was tied to other things (luck, founder connections, a few great sales/devs, etc).

> never understood why teams of literally 1 or 2 devs are always forced to try attempt to acheive the visual quality of apps like instagram, whatsapp, etc

For the same reason those kinds of places have more managers than workers… it’s a vanity project.

I find this depends on the class sizes etc that affect the teachers’ willingness to work in more interesting/creative things. It’s hard to come up with creative projects and help/manage/grade them for 35 kids, but it’s great for 15.

Pffft, they train the juniors? Hahaha, that’s funny.

That’s what happens when you hire a full time person to do what should amount to 8 hours a week. They go looking for ways to show value, and often that just causes everyone else to have more work too.

Usually it’s places where the projects are plenty small enough for the normal manager to handle it but they’re lazy and want the TPM/PM to be their secretary.

Yes it should, and that’s why it’s total BS and not an indication of anything.

I may be a jackass, but I’m not making claims about things I don’t know about.

> challenging should always be an option.

By someone else in the field, not by some jackass online.

I’m saying if they favor the person who happens to be on later due to time zones, when everyone works the same hours.

Is it? My experience was that it was just all about optics there - 12 hours of "work" but 8 of it is coffee breaks, long lunches, nebulous and unnecessary arch design fitting in tech that makes no sense to have there but that people just wanted to play with...

If you don't already know how to code, then it wouldn't be easy. Development isn't just another kind of job you can get trained for (unless you make very little and do things that would get outsourced). It's a skill that takes time and experience to grow into. That said, it's never "too late" for anything in life, if you find it interesting then try contributing to various github projects or even start your own.

Don’t worry, he didn’t actually say that either. Just another “and everyone clapped” internet story.

11 or 12 EST is common for west coasters obviously… then if their boss is east coast and an idiot they value them being there “late”

It’s the ciiiiiiiircle of liiiiife…

We lost magazines, and gained YouTube channels that are WAY better.

It’s also BS. Companies have branding and PR teams because they know it matters for profits. The issue with meta, twitter, etc is their real customers are advertisers. They can piss off users, and just pretend some % of bots are users. And let’s be real, few marketing companies are held accountable to their level of actual impact.

Poes law almost got me.

That’s just what the AGI wants you to think.

Mmm, depends on what “failing” means. Everyone makes mistakes, some people seem to be mistakes themselves.

This was my first thought too…

They didn’t even make Firefox, someone else did and they took it over, they had no foresight. They ignored people’s complaints about memory issues for years. They didnt keep one tab from crashing the whole thing for years, followed chrome to fix. Frankly Mozilla really is a dinosaur and seems to lack any real practical innovation.

There’s a command to force it to update table statistics… you just run that, especially after doing manual stuff. Pretty common, but easy to forget.

Doesn’t that just affect your own query though?

They’re probably confusing hierarchy with our obsession with middle managers who fear it being discovered that they don’t actually do anything.

I find it’s more that people suck at listening, not communicating. IT people will happily explain if you ask and listen, but frankly most people dont like to feel dumb for asking questions.

When was the last time a manager asked you what you needed to do your job better?

> The theoretical factor that's supposed to depress pay for workers on non-immigrant visas is that they don't have easy job mobility

There’s more to it than that, but that’s one of the big ones. Have you worked with foreign contractors/outsourcing before? If so you know why jumping to another job would be difficult.

> If they have a good employee

I think you mean cheaper employee.

They will, but it depends on previous work/level. The range is because they’ll hire you in for a position at your ideal level, not necessarily for the position you actually applied for.
