Think of the poor shareholders!

I’d do it just to style on the new guy, start with something like “ah, so humanity has lost the skills that we possessed in the days of yore…”
(TL note: this is in reference to companies refusing to up the pay for their skilled workforce, and ending up paying more to new guys that’ll have to learn it all from scratch)
I use TZ identifiers, and confirm the expected behaviour (“Berlin time, correct?”), as then I know how I should handle DST changes.
It should be implemented in people’s brains.
How this goes, usually, is:
Them:…before 6PM.
Me: 6PM… Ours? The server’s? The user’s?
Them: GMT, of course.
Me: So that’s 7PM London right now, and changes to 6PM in November?
Them: What no are you stupid. Always 6PM GMT.
Me:* jumps off a cliff*
Can you at least wait for me to die before taking me to hell, Satan?
Not sure if I’m just missing a reference here, but if you choose the pizza you can have both.
I’m so impressed that this is a thing
Because they didn’t come out saying they won’t enable ads. They just quietly renamed the toggle to say something else, and that is shady AF. Why are you trying to spin it positively?
It is. It also happens to be undefined, and checking that for truth is how I was bitten.
My dude, you need to understand that all that anger and resentment, it is not you. It’s the years of JavaScript poisoning your mind.
In any case, that goes to my point. I would have to be saved by my IDE, when any sane language will blow up in your face as soon as you try to run it.
I spent way too long today figuring out why my app was doing something that it’s NOT supposed to do on weekends.
I read Luxon’s docs (pretty cool lib tbh) again and again, and tried everything I could think of to get isWeekend to return a sane result.
Turns out I was pulling a somewhat older version of Luxon, where isWeekend didn’t exist. In any sane language, I expect I’d get a huge warning about a property that doesn’t exist, but alas…
Typescript helps me keep my sanity, but juuuuust barely.
I presume OP works at a decently sized company, and they have magical people like PMs and CSMs that turn customer tantrums into neat little cards that he can push down the kanban.
I couldn’t care less about crashes, that’s an end-user problem. But do you expect me to go to sleep while that squiggly line in my IDE??
/s just in case
Yep. It’s the only reason I’m still somewhat sane.
So that’s how much my data is worth to Meta?
They’ll probably still do it even if it’s pushed to the side. Jerks gonna jerk.
…wait.
Oh FFS, why is this not marked as NSFW
I disagree, with a passion.
It is soooo cluttered, so much useless redundant tags everywhere. Just give JSON or YAML or anything really but XML…
But to each their own i guess.
