wojtek322 said My daily standup currently is an hour long debugging session what happened to our servers... Idk why I'm even present since I'm just a frontend dev that does 0 work on this product.,My office had a set day where the underfloor heating would turn on and it was last weekend. Now our office is unbearably hot and no one that is present has the possibility to turn off the heating.
|
|
|
|
In the devOps room, we can't even open the window,3 work weeks later and my PTO is not yet approved nor declined.
|
|
|
|
I have 1 week left of my statutory leave. I have gotten the comment from my manager that I have taken off too many days already which is less than the legal minimum :))))
|
|
|
|
I have so little hopes of my holiday being approved.,What a productive daily standup... Someone played the trombone and it was related to our bug on the servers.,I overheard a phone call between my project manager & my CEO yesterday in the office. This is what my project manager said on the phone: "I find it weird that we sell stuff we are not sure if it is exists and if it exists, we are not sure how it works",My work week will be pumped from 38 hours to 40 hours per week but the pay remains the same...
|
|
|
|
And holidays are adjusted from unlimited PTO to 32 days,Our biggest competitor has just been hacked. All their sensitive data, including passwords and client data, has been compromised.
|
|
|
|
It is not yet in the news, but someone forwarded their internal communication to us. :D
|
|
|
|
(fixed mistranslation),Someone broke in past weekend in my workplace. We have a separate storage room at the ground floor and that lock was brute forced.
|
|
|
|
But we have yet to find something that is missing. It's so weird. Was there really nothing of value there that could have been sold?,Next week, dev colleagues from abroad are coming to my office. Apparently I have to organise a "design sprint". I have never done a design sprint and we have never ran a design sprint in my company. We don't even have a dedicated UX/UI person. Me and other dev are doing designs since we are front-end
|
|
|
|
From what I've looked it up, a design sprint should take 5 days to do it correctly. I only have 3 days to fill assuming no other activities are planned. So anyone got any tips or advice?,So my company is kinda stuck in the old ways and rebuilding some systems. For context, a department is still using Lotus 1-2-3 and our main source of income still relies on IBM AS/400
|
|
|
|
Lotus 1-2-3 was a very very popular spreadsheet program created in 1983 and last updated in 2002 and not longer sold since 2013
|
|
|
|
AS/400 was created in 1988 and discontinued also in 2013. This still is very very popular
|
|
|
|
You might ask yourself how we process new incoming data from our suppliers? Web APIs didn't even exist back then
|
|
|
|
If something breaks, which is daily, colleagues have to manually go through those files and fix stuff. We blindly trust the data. If a supplier suddenly misstyped the price of a product (like a dishwasher, computer, ...), we are selling that product at that price. No questions asked
|
|
|
|
But since we deal with quite a lot of data on a database that saves every database changes. It is rather heavy to get the data and our database is just build wrong. We have our own APIs where our customers (our customers are traditional stores / webstores) can retrieve these data.
|
|
|
|
We used to have no limit on usage it but it quickly brought down our production database by standard use.
|
|
|
|
So the senior developer only allows API requests to happen between 2AM & 6AM and each customer can only do 10 GET requests. If they need more, they'll have to wait a day more xD
|
|
|
|
Since multiple stores rely on our data and we manage the inventory for different stores. All stores have to know what our stock is. They, in the end, don't want to sell a product that is not longer in-stock
|
|
So we have a websocket where they can listen without filters so that means:
|
|
|
|
1) Every store gets all events and they have to filter themselves. So if that store does not sell blenders, they'll have to simply ignore all events related to blenders.
|
|
|
|
2) All orders are public, this means they can listen to the orders that competitors are placing
|
|
|
|
3) If they have an internet outage for a long time, only so many events are queued for their client till they reconnect so they will have dataloss till they can sync the next morning

Idk what smells worse, this code or sürstromming.``` |
