It’s pretty standard to have a first offense under 2 years suspended

In my experience when showcasing at the end of a sprint it pays to leave the visuals very unpolished and focus on functionality. Even if it’s trivial to use a UI library or other standard components. I deliberately make it look basic to help management / uses accept “it’s working but needs polishing”. That polish might then be me spending 10% of time on neatening UI, and 90% of time refactoring / fixing tech debt.
Just remember: imposter syndrome is real. Everything you learn exposes you to ten things you don’t yet know. Successful devs are comfortable with this reality - the job is one of constant learning. Best of luck!
I got banned because someone asked what the fairly infamous bible passage about being hung like a donkey / emissions of horses was all about. So I put it in modern language. Unfortunately the passage is Ezekiel calling out the people of Judea for acting “like whores”. Perma banned. Failed appeal. Patently obvious to anyone who can read what the context of the conversation was.
I have worked for financial institutions that have variations of the last one. If I saw it I wouldn’t even blink. Semi realistic reasons might be:
Status attribute - because the project is using the base library of [project whatever] which was the brain child of eNtErPrIsE aRcHiTeCt whose hands on skills are useless and the off-shore dev team who assigned [random newbie] because that’s who was available at the time. They used a status attribute because they didn’t know how to get the status of the http response. No-one with budget control is interested in hearing about technical debt at the moment. Everyone has to use it now else the poorly written test classes fail.
Message code: because “we need codes that won’t ever change even if the message does”. Bonus points if this is, in fact, never used as intended and changes more frequently than…
Message: “because we still need to put something human readable in the log”. Bonus points x2 if this is localised to the location of the server rather than the locale of the request. Bonus x3 if this is what subsequent business logic is built on leading to obscure errors when the service is moved from AWS East Virginia to AWS London (requests to London returning “colour” instead of “color” break [pick any service you never thought would get broken by this]).
I have seen it all etc
Bullshit identity politics.
Calling a black landlord a slur because he turfs you and your family out of your let with minimal notice? Racist and directed at power.
Middle class black guy calling child from low income area “white trash”? Racist and directed at the prominent ethnicity.
Learn intersectionality and stop propagating this group bullshit.
Pff… try being a white guy in Japan…
Anything but. They’ll be using that feedback to profile you, to better target ads at people like you. It’s like Facebook’s “I want to see less ads like this”. It’s to give an appearance of control. But really it implicitly means “show me more of what I didn’t reject”. Even if you’re there anonymously they’ll be associating any interaction you make with the ad with the subs you visit, the types of comment you make etc
People donating aren’t pushing shitification in search of profits though…
Bear in mind the current absolute state of Facebook is a conscious commercial decision. Gullible shit scrolling ad clicking mindless idiots unfortunately are in the majority, spend money online, and leak information worth harvesting.
Utter state of the internet 2023… Should have stopped at usenet.
Plenty of enlightened gents hitting the thread here to rubbish the need for a women’s category whilst simultaneously demonstrating the need for a women’s category
Well… this is certainly enough bullshit to make the crops grow
Tbf it was actually a lot less stupid than the average “nostupidquestions”
The Catholic church has nearly entirely considered abortion a sin since the first century (yes there are exceptions, but a minority). You are thinking of the adoption of “life begins at conception”, which was ruled in 1869. Prior to that the church considered early abortion an immoral sin on par with contraception. What changed in 1869 was the category from sin of contraception to sin of murder. But it was still “sin” beforehand.
Also 1/3 is 0.333 recurring.
So 1/3 x 3 is 0.999 recurring. But 1/3 x 3 is also 1.
18 years here. ‘do not cite the deep magic to me…’
Had to contact support this week because (on top of an already infuriating week of marketing cloud bullcrap) an exit criteria in Journey Builder was firing when it shouldn’t. Basically amounted to a string comparison of A = B? But one was from Contact Data and the other from Journey Data. And you know what their response was? “Yeah… that won’t work, you have to do B = A”. I kid you not. What’s worse is that actually fixed it! What a joke of a platform. How shit do you have to be at coding to end up making a string comparison non-commutative? Like…I don’t even know how you’d screw up that badly accidentally. It’s a veritable kaleidoscope of shitty infuriating bugs.
I’ve been pulling my hair out with the totally unrelated but also awful Marketing Cloud (owned by Salesforce). This article made me feel better.
The sentence was a custodial jail sentence. There were just two mitigating factors that downgraded it to a suspended one by a whisker: 1. early guilty plea (in the UK this reduces sentence by a third) and 2. first offense. Typically a first offense under two years would be suspended for anyone.
