Oh, wow, this is incredible! Seems to me like a happy guy who found a place to be dedicated.

Haha, same here with my boss. Very smart guy. Tries to think stuff to the end and beyond. Sometimes over-complicating, but generally preferring simple solutions. Started to code so he can provide POC code that we Devs can use.

At the same time he's refusing to take shortcuts that include technical dept.

I like working with him.

Yeass -.-

Is there any topic that is not sexualized within 3 comments?

So @antigermgerm is not antigermsperm? x)

Have you offered them to work as a freelancer in the beginning? This reduces risk for them and you can demand more money for that mitigated risk.

@Lensflare Haha, totaly!

ティラミス is of course pronounced Tiramisu

Itaria-go! :D

Tiramisu as a representation for the good old Italian friendship?

We have even some builds failing, because they load dependencies from jitpack.io which depend on cloudflare. Crazy shit, this thing is everywhere. Basically a SPOF

AI is taking over slowly and in a sadistically painful way. =)

Damn shit, that's harsh. Sorry to hear that. I never was there, so really can't imagine on how to deal with that.

Maybe a good first step to rant about it and just let it all out.

I hope you find a way into a better team that recognizes your value.

I only use the ~20min timers for taking naps. Naps are my secret weapon. :)

@Lensflare I also live in Germany but was born in a small village in a foreign country. Back then, when I requested a passport, the women behind the desk asked me how to spell the name of the village. I didn't know, so I just came up with a spelling. Now I know a few other people from that village - it's completely differently spelled in their passport.

Also birthday is something nobody can prove. I can come up with a slight variation or pick another one.

I think the trickiest part is to make someone believe that you lost every document and you are not in "the system" yet.

I would really like to. Even have two friends who would love to start a band with me.

However we all don't have time for it due to family etc. :cry:

@BordedDev I'm not there yet. x)

Someone else struggling with Mondays and not getting focused after weekend?

In the web context I hate its stateless architecture: For every request it always parses the whole code (yes you can use caches) and always does the complete "initialize + execute + shutdown" routine.

That's inefficient and needs to be considered when building a proper service.

@cafecortado thought about that for a while. Sure, it's by believes and my self image that let me do all of that for others. But it drained my energy in a way, that I more and more come to a point, willing to throw my believes over board and rather seek for the things I actually want to do.

Not sure if I can break that wall in my head though.

Because you are anti german?

Did we work for the same company? Oo

Oh, one more thing just came to my mind:

Around a year ago I head serious issues with sleep and concentration. Tried alcohol before sleeping, but it got worse. Turns out, a lack of Magnesium (caused by stress and alcohol) was causing bad sleep and yes, alcohol is draining the Magnesia level even more.

Supplementing it is not dangerous, however you should also take care of iron (which is suppressed by Magnesia) - a lack iron also causes fatigue.

By the way, an extended blood test should show your actual levels of those substances.

Same here. I think it's related to the abusive dopamine kicks I was drawn into. In my case that are YT Shorts, but there are a lot more of these kind of media (TikTok, Instagram, ... and of course P0rn).

Trying to get sober again, but it's hard. That stuff is a nasty drug.

Why that differentiation? Is "Vibecoder" considered a bashing term?

What's wrong with Flutter?

Background: (Although I have several years of Dev Experience, I am new to App Dev and wanted to start with Flutter)

@donkulator Damn, that sucks.

You should (per contract) give her something right now when the lottery is not worth anything, so she release you from every other obligation.

@jestdotty I would really try to work with you as a boss. I like challenges. :D

Interesting. So most of you would not see much value in it.

I work for a very small startup and most of us have shares. First I thought that would motivate us all to keep up the pace and we would push our selves.

But in the long term it turned out, that as soon as a single person thinks that one or two others don't do their part properly anymore, they also reduce their workload. Basically saying "I won't work for the others shares, if they don't work for mine". That again leads to others being frustrated and work at a lower pace and so on.

Some are nearly that frustrated, that they would rather give up their shares and leave the company, although even our salary is quite good here.

My house, my hobby (including home automation). No time left for real dev stuff.

Therefor we should only react with :eggplant: 🍆

:)

As a backend developer, I also asked myself this question.

I guess most classic websites can live with minimal javascript impact and maybe rely on jQuery and similar. And it seems to be the case for most sites out there (depending on which stats you believe) e.g. https://w3techs.com/technologies/...

So I guess there is a transition point, where a sites become apps, and working with jQuery becomes cumbersome. That's when developers really should switch to a framework.

But once used to it, a developer will use his framework of choice for next web project as well, even if not necessary.

Normal behavior I guess - I also use my electric drill for a single screw, even if I have to carry the complete case instead of a single screwdriver. :)
