Recovering area man, now with volume. Suggested serving. May contain nuts.

@ceoRiya We had candidates make it to final round interview process, then find out their submitted examples of work were from a lab and that were the instructors exact (I diffed) final-solution code. Then another staff engineer argue with me that that was OK.

@ThePrimeagen @davepl1968 Poor so many bastards I know who are still all-in on Java, despite the yellow stream of writing Larry left on their wall. Unsurprisingly same fucks are all-in on AI. < popcorn >

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@jamonholmgren Immediately binned resume anyone who spouts such junior hubris.

Maybe an AI will do recur FOR you and you won’t even notice or understand, then you shit pants when prod thing you were unqualified to parent has bug and clock ticks on money/uptime loss you’re helpless to resolve.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@jamonholmgren Sometimes recursion is the shortest and most obvious and efficient path to solution.

Hugs you’ve never encountered the need, bitchslap if you did and couldn’t figure it out.

Next time, slugger.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@DevLeaderCa Skill issue that you’ve never recognized a situation where recursion was the fewest-lines solution. Feel for you that you’ve never encountered that problem and/or solution.

Maybe next time, slugger.

@dhh re aesthetics .. disdain for design in general is strong with Linux culture, in large part to limited Theory of Mind. Some things are ugly/difficult but some need not be vs many taking pride in learning “hard way” over sensible, intuitive. That requires empathy for user mind. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ChShersh @meowkoteeq Engagement bait but worth it to post this. I ship clean room appliances universally runnable that are less than 100MB including OS and custom code, telemetry, rescued from PM lorded n00bs who shipped single-use 2GB machine images. Docker docs suck, but: skill issue? Bill++

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@nealstephenson No YVR or YYZ. Mr Gibson and Ms Atwood would like a word, sir.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@mattpocockuk Nice. Now, help me find the off switch on millennial/juniors putting emoji into console and logs like it's 2019 🤣🔥💯 ... and from dumping ASCII art into readmes.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@nealstephenson Toronto ... ever?

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@Rich_Harris That, and de-bloating your Docker container. Took over a project with 2GB images (which baked in node_modules, secrets, env-specific config, bears, lions, oh my) and have them down to 95MB.

@vitamindees Engagement Bait Island

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@Rich_Harris Such devs angrily RTing that, I guarantee you have little empathy or understanding of their actual users and, if any of them do front-end user-facing work? It’s probably terrible UX.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@wisdomicz Needs pins on A and I .. possibly G, P and T. For a junior dev who puts XHR awaits in a loop WITH sync file I/O then complains they get asked hard CS questions.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@JoshWComeau Creepy indeed. I hope you also like "vapid" and "shrill" because it's getting better by learning from the best: social media influencers. Throw in click- and engagement-farming input going back a few elections? All the "fake news" conspiracy mongering becomes true, retroactively.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@Nateemerson A year now into rescuing a project that spent far more time barking about documentation and test coverage than actually delivering a performant and usable application. Testurbation !== viable product.

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@0xglitchbyte Lost a buddy because suggested that maybe proof of ability to grasp and solve common comp sci problems was important to all the “unfair” tech interviews they had failed, apparently such skill = waste of time when deserve $$$ to chat up AI “to provide biz value instead.” 🤷🏻‍♂️🔥🤣

[Roid Braun @twit_ryan]

@PeachezProgram Yes, yes, let’s give all of our dev activity to Google for free.
