null-pointer-ex said There needs to be some sort of enforcement about who can write code. JK,
|
|
but seriously, the current dev wannabes and influencers on sh-t-witter and linkedin are literal cancer.
|
|
A dude will make a post about how to "scale" a system, yet they have no grasp of the most basic fundamentals. They have no idea what a CDN is, they think you can just store blobs and be done with it. Like, bro, are you going to be serving a 10MB image from the DB every single time it's requested? How WILL that scale? How will low bandwith users be served? Oh, yeah right, I forgot that everyone in the world has 1Gbps internet from NASA.
|
|
They think serverless will take care of it.
|
|
BUT HOW? No wonder "serverless" companies like Vercel are making bank out of idiots who can't manage to spin up a decent VPS that would take care of 99% of usecases.
|
|
Granted, most copy paste regurgitated AI slop from chatgpt but still.
|
|
It's so infuriating. There used to be a decent Twitter dev community, but not it's just AI shills, crypto bros and script kiddies all pretending to write code.
|
|
It's time I stopped using that site.
|
|
Also probably a sign I should quit this industry. Getting tired of it to be honest.
|
|
Don't see myself still writing code in 3 years.,Live coding interviews basically make no sense.
|
|
It's even worse when you can't use an IDE.
|
|
Like, bro, what the fuck? You want me to write code in fucking notepad?
|
|
Alright then, I can play that game. It's so easy to memorize the algos and pass the test, yet that's not indicative of a good engineer.
|
|
I wonder if the roles were reversed, how good the interviewer would perform.,Swift does some things really well, but then falls flat in others. Why is polymorphic JSON decoding/encoding such a pain?
|
|
In Kotlin, it's a breeze to support multiple object types.,Okay, maybe I'm unlucky, but I find macOS to be extremely buggy and inconsistent across the board compared to Windows.
|
|
The "it just works" slogan hasn't been true in my case.
|
|
Like, there's always some dumb issue hindering me.
|
|
For example, I can't seem to resize a window by its edge on my second screen in macOS. It just doesn't work.
|
|
Of course, Windows isn't perfect, but it works without a hitch in my case.
|
|
Finally, the memory swapping issues that lead to lag.
|
|
On a typical day, I have two instances of IntelliJ running, Android Studio or XCode, and two Edge + Mozilla, and Docker. 32GB should be able to handle this smoothly. This works fine on my 32GB Windows workstation.
|
|
On my 32GB M2 MacBook Pro however, I have to constantly close some programs because of lag.
|
|
Not to mention, memory fills up really quickly. I essentially turn on the MacBook and 18 GB are in use. WTF!,Jackson JSON parser can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
|
|
Like, bro, I don't want you to pollute my JSON when saving into Redis. Because now the frontend clients suddenly don't understand the schema because it's riddled with @class and type definitions everywhere.
|
|
You have to perform dark magic to get this thing to work automatically with Spring Boot caching.
|
|
I've had to implement my own custom serializer and deserializer after wasting who knows how many hours on this.
|
|
Shit like this is why I tend to roll my own implementation for many things at the slightest hint that a library isn't flexible.``` |
