Yeah I wish substack would stop doing this too. They keep inserting their brand in HN under different handles.

Yep really sincere reviews use the word jungle pussy. The right wingers are just grabbing them all the time.

Are there seriously devs that think FE code quality actually matters? It’s become so standardized and cookie cutter setting up this frameworks to actually work in development and production environments is ten times more difficult then recreating Facebook or Twitter. Who would build there career on this at this point?

This could not be more true, however the id like to add the patronage goes farther up the chain. They are all just saying want they need to to clear the checks. It an executive has ever actually invented a successful business model I have yet to meet one.

Except it’s not. It can be thought away, under enough pressure people can do extraordinary things. There is just no such pressure in society now. I’ve suffered immensely in my life, and if you describe your condition as “anxiety” you simply aren’t suffering enough for treatment to have any real impact.

If you think you’re suffering rises to the medical treatable level please develop a more serious condition before getting on a waitlist. All doctors are taken up on your non-physical problems and you don’t immediately need care like I do.

Allen Iverson got criticized by the media for “letting down his teammates” for skipping a few practices. He famously said “We’re talking about practice, practice! not the game! How is MY going to practice gonna make THEM better?!” He got flack for those comments, but what he said was accurate. If we’re talking about outcomes you’re beholden to the person who is seen as the difference maker, all the teamwork in the world isn’t going to improve an individual’s the lack of ability.

It sounds like a good job where the most important part is finding other people’s mistakes.

Though I do appreciate the shoutout to adding tests in CR. But returning a PR solely because it doesn’t have tests, is effective, but a little performative too. It kind of like publicly executing someone, theirs gotta be some performance for it to be a deterrent. If something doesn’t have tests my review is going to be a very short performance where I pretend read the rest of the code. Then immediately send it back.

Every developer I know who applies this sort of “highly documented development” approach where they “work through their thought process openly.” Is only doing it because their thought processes are already so funky and counterintuitive that reviewers actively reject their work unless have written evidence that the developer didn’t just entirely change the scope of their assignment to justify the bizarre decisions.
