Who tests the useless survey? Everyone with regression tests. Like dude, everything you talk about has been written “in blood” from years of hosting production systems. If the useless survey is needed, then write a test for it, or a testcase to manually try it. Don’t just upgrade, see that the app is up and push to prod, that’s not testing, that’s asking for trouble.

Okay, let’s be angry at the company and frown a lot at what happened. Gurr, bad company, evil.

And now think of what you’d rather have - a working system, or a reason to be angry? If you have something that integrated with something else, lock it down at a specific version so you control the upgrade and know those versions work 100% of the time together. “Latest” is just asking for trouble - be it in a docker image, in dependencies or elsewhere. It’s absolutely not a “best practice” if it isn’t even a code smell or an outright bug. You could’ve had a slightly outdated version, which won’t be “exploitable” - you wouldn’t have enough time to exploit anything in that time, especially with smaller companies and obscure exploits.

Instead of putting out the fire, you could’ve been now looking into the upgrade, seeing on UAT or Test or whatever that forms aren’t supported, chilling till they are supported or complaining that they aren’t.

Upgrades breaking shit is like programming / devops 101, and a huge reason for technical debt in very old projects. Leaving all that to chance is just irressponsible.

Yeah, hence me mentioning the arcane code nobody knows what it does.

Nah. It should be obvious by just looking at it in code. If it isn’t, you haven’t extracted single purpose methods out of it yet.

How bad programmers comment their code. Good programmers don’t comment at all and let the code speak for itself, leaving commenting to some obscure and arcane implementation the coder left in after a week long binge on caffeine and gummy bears.

Yes, it does. It’s panika jądra which translates to panic of the testicle.

In Polish, kernel directly translates to “testicle”. So it basically says that the testicle panicked.

You should use password managers. It doesn’t matter where you get your “key” from. Worried about cloud, there is always keepass.

Yeah, that’s already iffy, never do personal stuff on work computer and vice versea.

If your company finds out (and they will) you’ll get fired so fast you wouldn’t even know what hit you. Never fuck around with licenses when they are provided to you by an employer. Some formats have metadata that gets saved, some companies do audits etc.

The issue here is if you are on a forum about a specific piece of software and are an active user, then anyone asking for alternatives seem like they are personally attacking you and your choices. At least to those people that replied above.

Lennin died, with him died lenninism. Stalin died, with him died stalinism. Grandpa Onan, don’t die!

If a PM has enough time to try to learn programming on the side, then they are a shit PM. A PM should shield the team from unneccessary meetings, be the main initial contact point and the initial refinement guy. Those are 4 seperate jobs at once.

Ah I understand. They don’t get paid (but still do) so they can be shitty to people, opinionated about their software and overall toxic.

Most java devs are on intellij with a very rare exception here and there.

That’s exactly how “best” works. Everyone thinks their language is the greatest and shits on everything else. If they all chose “the best” there would be 50 of them. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

Codebase is now 30 languages

F12 lol. The only issue with a dev console helping would be serverside checking

To be fair there are countries with a shitload of guns where this doesn’t happen. This is mostly US being a shithole.

To anyone downvoting the comment above, you can use windows indefinitely without a key. The only thing that happens is you get some text on the screen (that sometimes goes away for no reason) and you can’t change the background. They don’t give two f’s. They could easily block keys / stop them from working if misused, but they don’t care. Same reason why every laptop comes with a license. They put it there because it costs them nothing. They’d rather have market share, than get money upfront. They probably make bank on other things (i.e. the analytics, ads, etc)
