No one in the financial industry seriously considers crypto except for the fact that they can use it to siphon money from the unfortunately disillusioned and the idiotic.
As a financier and a programmer, I'm happy people keep pouring money into it because I can win more games. As a human, it's really sad to witness.
Are the junior programmers that you hire that good that you don't need training or commentary? I find I spend a lot of time reviewing MRs and leaving commentary. For instance, this past week, I had a junior apply the same business logic across classes instead of creating a class/service and injecting it as a dependency.
This, improper handling of exceptions, missed testing cases or no tests at all, incomplete types, a misunderstanding of a nuanced business case, etc. An automatic approval would leave the codebase in such a dire state.
I still pair with juniors, sometimes even the code review is a pairing session. When did I say I don’t need training or commentary? I’m talking about useless AI tools, not day to day work.
I'm mostly asking to see how I can adjust my workflow with juniors because I sometimes find myself drowning trying to maintain a decent codebase - not trying to be accusatory.
I generally use MRs as an opportunity to give feedback like how you'd get feedback on a set of math problem statements. I inferred from "rarely do I ever really leave commentary" that you're not using MRs as a training tool. How else do you train junior engineers?
For context, I work in the financial industry where mistakes are costly and users are hostile so the "accept & merge" workflow may not be for me.
It isn’t :/ I’d be down to recreate it if you can point me at an open-source project to do it in! :)
Basically - we had some custom framework-ish code to do things like general error handling, reference/relationship/ORM stuff, and turning things into a React hook.
I rewrote what we had to use function passing, so that you could define your API endpoint as the simple Axios call (making it much easier to pass in options, like caching config, on a per-endpoint basis).
So you’d define your resource nice and simple, then under the hood it’d wrap in the middleware, and you’d get back a function to make the request (or a React hooks doohickey, if you wanted).
But typescript doesn’t really play nice with function currying, so it took some doing to wrap my head around enough of the type system to allow the template type to itself be a template-typed function. That nut cracked when I remembered that experience with C++ typing; in the end it actually came out pretty clean, although I definitely got Clever(TM) in some of the guts.
I find these statements to be extremely doubtful. Why would a CS program cover statistics? Wouldn't that be the math department? If there any required courses, it's most likely Calc 1/2, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Math.
Also, out of the hundreds of programmers I've met, I don't know any that has done graphics programming. I consider that super niche.
Oh wow, I had the exact opposite reaction. Very close to a childhoold in poverty - lost my family when I was 5, adopted, homeless, etc. - but when I graduated college, my apartment rent was $2000 in DC, I was vacationing in Norway, and eating and drinking at the most expensive restaurants. I made a bet that I was going to make decent amount of money in salary, and that bet has paid off. Debt-free from university, sizeable retirement accounts and savings, etc. Now, I wasn't able to afford to buy a home or condo at 25 like my peers, but I thought I was okay given I was starting over.
I realized I lived through a peculiar hell when I was young, so I definitely made up for it buy working hard, playin' hard.
At least, these were previously American values to hate these people.
