ich, Softwareentwickler, über meine eigene Arbeit:

you know what will solve those problems though? blame them on someone else. “oh yeah that bug, yeah sorry the package we’re using messed it up, there’s a PR for that”

it’s very useful to follow subject matter experts, when you’ve identified them

boring work stuff, they entered wrong data and made a ticket to fix it several months after the fact. That data they enter is the input for a bunch of calculations, so cleaning up that mess is a lot of work and I’m the only one equipped to do it. They should be well aware of the importance of being exact with what they enter and only signing off on it when they’re 100% sure it’s correct, yet they keep messing it up. They made a stupid excuse about having to sign off on it even though they knew it wasn’t 100% done, when it’s been made perfectly clear that this is unacceptable regardless of circumstances because of legal ($$$$) ramifications

edit: I should add that those ramifications are potentially severe enough to bankrupt us. That particular administrative body does not fuck around and will tear us a new one if they smell blood

today, I used the word negligent in a work email. They done fucked up and I’m tired of their shit

yep, sure did: https://old.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/5uw5cs

oh it would for simple graphics like graphs/charts, but it’d be worse than useless for everything else like pictures / photos / video. That’s why I mentioned Overwatch as the example, which was the most egregious offender of this. If you turned on the colorblind mode in that game back when it was first introduced, it just chroma hue shifted all colors making it look like this:

how anyone with a functioning eye and brain ever thought that was the solution is beyond me

best they can do for those, is to offer such filters

well I’m sure some people will find it useful, but in my experience global filters make a global mess of everything without doing much of anything to alleviate the problem. Lucky for people like me, many games already have better options, and in other applications it usually isn’t much of a problem

yeah those ones, they completely mess up all colors and still don’t help

if this changes all colors with a global filter the way that some games like Overwatch (used to) do, then it’s really not going to help anyone. I’m red-green colorblind, so when something is highlighted in red it isn’t as obvious to me as it is to people with normal vision. However, the fix isn’t too globally mess with all the colors, the fix is to let me pick the highlight color so that I can choose what works best for me. Many games have figured this out long ago (thank you game devs!).

I pirate mostly out of convenience, I just want access to whatever media I’m interested in and if there’s a subscription wall between it and me, then more often than not it’s just easier for me to pirate it than bothering to pay for it

I admit I’ve gotten pretty lucky, but so far buying a house has been great for me

I got a brand new car seat for about €150 a month ago, straight off ebay

doesn’t sqlite explicitly encourage this? I recall claims about storing blobs in a sqlite db having better performance than trying to do your own file operations

people only care when they’re told to and are being paid to. If nobody told anyone to care about the archival of source code (and build environments) of old projects, then guess what, it’s not likely that anyone is going to do it. Add some good old revolving doors and presto: shit’s fucked

you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later

I’ve done worse
