@cafecortado Ah, not like me, 90% of my evenings. lol

I see people do that all the time. It seems to me they don't understand the limitations.

@lorentz Lots of reflection is used in this monster of a system.

@AlmondSauce This is DevRant, where people rant. It's for an existing, overly complex system for what it is. This complexity is not needed. It's written by lazy devs who put together spaghetticode.

That's where my complaint was.

@netikras Sometimes Gen X gets tired of the same old things.

@iceb They should listen to logical reason, not to likeability.

@sideshowbob76 Concise and wise advice.

Yes, Developer gets associated with code monkey.

@jiraTicket It is a tip for it and it is not out of context.

@shovethisrant I see your point there.

This reminds me of GitHub is down. lmao

A culverin? I play too much Age of Empires. lol

@taylorswift I need certs because I have to somehow show them that I am marketable in x and y framework. I'm on severe time constraints so I don't have time to build something nor get certs. It's a tough situation. All that's left now is apply for more jobs.

@Crost Mine was much more severe and required us to have broad insight. They were very scientific, structured and methodical.

@BobbyTables Precisely (wait, can things in OOP still be precise? lol).

@joewilliams007 I had verified these things and I figured the dash and the apostrophe: - ' wouldn't be invalid characters, which is why I was puzzled by it.

@electrineer The HTTP response in itself does not provide objective debug information.

I would say: keep observing and watch out for any red flags. They are usually a sign to get out.

@AnxiousADHDGuy That's the thing: those two events were disconnected and they were for two different frameworks. In one case I kept struggling for a month to make a simple demo project because I didn't know any of the internals of the framework and the theory behind how it works, while in the other case (other framework) I first sat down and studied for a few weeks before I attempted a demo project. During the studying time I didn't do any practice. The theory helps a lot.

@KDSBest When the company doesn't throw the excuse "We have no time for tests" at me. lol

@sariel Again, if they have the budget. lmao. Some companies can barely afford three developers and nothing else; no extras.

@sariel Then indeed I am. The company has to have sufficient funds to afford more than a handful of developers in the first place and a lot of companies don't have that money.. lmao.

Product Owners suck.

@electrineer Compulsory, like a lot of things in the business world.

@electrineer Yes.

@lbfalvy Apparently answering O(n2) for a nested for loop was incorrect because of some starting initialization index, they said. I think the correct answer as O(logN).

@Lensflare Well, one of the interview questions talked about taking into account all edge cases (such as start index being -1 and end index being 1 or something) and that my answer didn't take those into account but only a few, so they recommended I 'optimize' my algorithm this way.

As for work experience.. I've needed this type of stuff when writing custom and efficient search and document manipulation functions to efficiently handle millions of documents and e-mails at top speed.. just a lot of custom stuff.

@Blernnn That is a very clean setup. Well done. : )

@Grumm That's possible. Hahahaha.

"Omg wtf is this shit"; I often get that feeling about code.
