He revealed the secrets !
I agree with the last point tbh
At the bare minimum, if you aren’t capable of contributing to the library you use, then you don’t deserve to use it.
I disagree, if you aren’t capable of contributing to a library you should be required to use it rather than roll your own solution.
Because software devs have the weeks/months to learn vulkan every time they want to use a GUI for their job, or to learn compiler design whenever they wanna use java for their job
Aren’t IT people just janitors that tell you to turn it off and back on again?
I’ve been an actual janitor and a sysadmin… they’re not dissimilar. You clean up other people’s shit for a living.
So do I but with exception of the unfortunate cp that calls for bleaching eyes (and security) one is more sanitary than the other…
Hey dude stop it spreading it okay?
hahaha, this reminds me of certain politicians…
Where they say the quiet part out loud, while most people will ignore it and the status quo continues as is.
We don’t want the Silicon Valley bubble to imploding, right?
p.s. would burst be a better word than imploding? word of the day…
Yes, that one would work!
Seems, I wanted an excuse to use the word, ‘implode’, hahaha
im convinced most developers spend more time working on making shit work, rather than actually writing code and bugfixing it.
edit: this was mostly a shitpost, and i was expecting some flack, but i got basically none. Can we have a real moment here. Are you guys doing ok? Who made you do this to yourselves?
ok, real talk over, we’re going back to suffering now.
Half the time it’s trying to figure out where to apply the next piece of duct tape to keep the entire house of cards (and duct tape) from collapsing.
Yup. Thats just enterprise software for you. Something was made requiremnts changed, and then changed again and then ypu have duct tape on top of a duct tape with a duct tape holding those duct tapes and a touch of super glu here and there. Also ducttapes are microscopic in size but the sheer quantity of them is unimaginable.
this part is pretty much expected i think. But i’m starting to see it cropping up into the more meta aspects of programming now. For instance, apps being shipped with existing deprecated packages. Seems like it’s also creeping a little further into the more UI aspects of it as well.
