I understand, it would probably make sense narratively, but he would receive a lot of backslash.

Yeah, he basically spoiled the ending with the tv show and now he needs to come up with a new one. Not that he actually will. He’ll never finish the series

He probably couldn’t see the tv due to the big pile of money sitting between him and the screen covering his view.

Lol, I’m not exactly a fan of the series (I only really liked the first two books) but this is ridiculous. At this point he is just trolling. I’d say I’m happy I moved on. I haven’t even bought A dance with dragons because I couldn’t finish the one before that as I didn’t really like it. That being said, I’d like to get a conclusion to the story and I’m willing to go back to the series AFTER it’s concluded (which most likely will never happen).

Not yet. I have mini metro though. Very similar but somewhat different feeling. It’s probably the closest thing.

The things he asks to do are the reasons why I find no joy anymore working in coding. Hammering my thumbs seems to be more interesting than doing most of these actions. I swear, I got so bored I couldn’t finish the read. Specifically “if you find yourself commenting on every line of code” the right thing to do is to setup a meeting with te hiring department.

I’d say it suggests it’s “legally” the wrong thing to do.

Code review can’t fix incompence though. I lost count of how many times my boss told me “review that PR well because X is not very good”. Also my point is that they are overrated, not that they are useless.

Probably unpopular opinion, but peer reviews are overrated. If coders are good AND know the project, the only thing you can do in a PR is nitpicking. They are more useful for open source collaborators because you want to double-check their code fits with the current architecture. But people here are reacting as if peer reviews could actually spot bugs that tests can’t catch. That happens rarely unless the contributor is junion/not good.

I would fire you for incompetence and sabotage. Problem solved.

Lol I feel so old reading these replies… I learnt copying BASIC games from magazines and typing them manually on the computer.

But jokes apart, when it comes to learning, I think the best thing is to tinker with weather language you choose and don’t worry about making the “right choices” since the start. Forget about writing “pythonic” code and don’t worry about being “idiomatic”: just build something. Building good software is not just constructs, but also knowning which subsystem to improve and when. That’s what makes experience.

When it comes to improving, you can dig deep into the language.

Yeah, this is also useful when learning a new programming language, even when you are an experienced coder, already.

I salute the author of this for drawing a CRT monitor.

I’ll remember to celebrate that :D

Well I guess the point is that you shouldn’t need all these method calls to achieve simple goals. Most of those “getF” are calls to some SystemFactory to get a GenericObjectFactory and so on and so forth.

Follow up of: “Mmm… should I put lifecycle annotation in these 10 structs or just use and Rc and call it a day?”. Rc and Box FTW.

I’ve been hearing “This is the year of Linux on desktop” since at least 2002…

I love cargo, but cargo.io could REALLY make good use of namespaces. It’s insane when clear library names are taken by highschoolers at their first project and there is nothing to be done about it. I’d also like some kind of curating on the packages.
