Ranting about tech on professional basis

Nixpkgs released 26.05.

I enjoy maintenance and upgrades way more than I care to admit

@ChShersh Looks like java pipelines to me

Man I’ll never understand people using AI for everything in their personal life. Especially therapy, medical issues and mental health. It’s bad enough this highly personal info is owned by someone. It’ll be used to push products on you

cto talking about grief and survival guilt. dude are you for fucking real? dont make me laugh

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Aaaand the morning starts with a 25% layoff. I still got the job but man would I be so pissed if they laid me off after I turned down a fat offer in another company

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Upper management couldn't align on what to tell us. The only thing clear: "AI will fill in the gaps". I think it's a big mistake.

I just reached the section on transaction isolation and data anomalies in the face of concurrent writes. Wait till I get to explicit locking

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Databases are one hell of a software beast. The complexity of it, yet the guarantees they provide are mind blowing. Databases are cracked!

Btw the argument was about the infamous Go if err != nil pattern and how it’s inferior to try-catch exceptions like in python (his argument, not mine)

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

I know a guy who once used his 15y of experience as an argument to win a code related disagreement with me. Anyway he has a tendency for poor infra design that he takes and runs with. Only to hit a wall at some point and call a team meeting where he’s humbled into a rewrite

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Not only did he not win that argument with me but he had to apologize afterwards. Lesson to everyone who thinks the number of years says something about their expertise

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Sometimes I look at code and know it smells without immediately knowing why

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Suddenly realized that I’ve developed some sort of intuition when it comes to Go development and design decisions in general. Just get a feeling that navigates me through a ton of alternatives without explicit reasoning

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Also this same dude with his 10 years of DB experience recently caused an incident by querying a DB from within a transaction causing the connection pool exhaustion and a deadlock.

Meanwhile this rule is literally in the first official Go tutorial on transactions

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Maybe I have issues but I just cant take it seriously if someone says that they know best cause of <insert number of years> in industry. Dude if you have to shove your experience in number of years before you tell me how to do things, it just doesnt sound convincing at all

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

And then if I question their most correct approach they just say just trust me bro. Häää?? Last time I checked this wasnt a good enough reason

[angry_engineer @_angry_engineer]

Man I’m so much enjoying my new epic. I’ll take the most out of it. I’ll take this service out on a fucking trip

Installed the minimalistic GUI on my jailbroken kindle
