I enjoyed tonight's episode, but it didn't have as many hysterical moments as last week's. I hope they keep Milana Vayntrub's character around, the youtube "talk show" she used to co-host is pretty funny.

If you didn't find the line "you just brought piss to a shitfight you little oval office" hilarious, there's something very wrong.

Is it strange that there's nothing regarding Evan Welch's death post credits? I was expecting something. Other than that, this episode was loving excellent. Dinesh is awesome.

Dinesh is great, and Zach Woods continues to demonstrate why he should be on every show.Urdnot Fire posted:At this point, they should just go whole-hog with it and just steadily ramp it up as the show goes on, like having him commit murder and treason.

I loved the Jared and Satanic baptism subplots too, this shows probably the funniest thing I'm watching right now.

Supremely disappointed a gif hasn't surfaced of Erlich backhanding the kid. I was laughing so hard I completely missed that he called him a "little oval office". It's clear now that Erlich is the superstar of this show. Aside from the inexplicably hot girlfriend, Gilfoyle strikes me as a pretty spot-on smug nerd. Though he'd more likely be an r/atheism type than a Satanist. I kind of hope Zach Woods gets stuck on Bioshock Island for the remainder of the season and Richard has to manage the company to the live demo by himself.

I thought the whole bit about parking and Chik-fil-a at the end of the Satanic Ritual was pretty great as well. "Now I know they're a Christian Right owned company but drat if they don't make tasty sandwiches"

The problem is that they've done a great job of using real ideas and products (agile development, Jenkins, Chef), but those are all products that would help prevent the big plot point of that kid doing irreparable damage to the codebase. It's something you wouldn't blink an eye at on another show, but they seem pretty careful to at least pander a little to developers in the audience. They just made that subset of the audience collectively groan.

If they gave him access to the live database and he was messing with the DDLs again, he could have easily just done some absolutely hosed up migration and misplaced some data. What I assumed they were trying to illustrate was that the kid basically nuked their production databaase in some way, and then when Richard started to work backwards, he realized that everything the kid had written was absolute garbage. It's the kind of five-alarm shitstorm I've personally see go down with a small/startup team where everyone is trying to/allowed to do everything.

To each his own. I'd rather get a funny show with interesting characters and plot* at the occasional cost of realistic technology goings on, rather than having them get hung up on making it 100% believable—especially when nobody bats an eye at a guy being shanghaied in self-driving car and shipped on a self-steering boat to a man-made island in the middle of nowhere. *To be fair, I didn't think that particular plot was especially interesting since it was resolved in a matter of minutes of screen time, but the general point stands. Edit: Put another way, the realistic products and ideas are there to give the show an air of authenticity that lead the viewer to ignore the "botched" tech specifics when necessary for the greater good of the show. You're doing yourself a disservice by getting hung up on it. Cranbe fucked around with this message at 19:45 on May 13, 2014 |

Man, that Carver sub-plot was terrible. It felt as if it was there to fill the show's buzzword/tech-speak quota. Even the premise of an employer pretending to getting hacked rather than admit that they hired a lovely teenage developer is so terribly ridiculous that I don't even have to think if messing up the database makes sense or not (kinda does). The rest of the episode was great though, and the writers should not be afraid to do some non-tech related episodes. Rexides fucked around with this message at 20:29 on May 13, 2014 |

I think the medical inaccuracies on House are a more apt comparison. That said, I'm simply charmed that the goons in this thread have actually explained why version control may not have mattered. As a (not that good) web developer I rarely, if ever, touch the db unless absolutely necessary because, yes, that there can gently caress some poo poo right up.

wooger posted:Its not a nitpick, it's simply not possible to jack up source code like that as everyone uses version control systems that *at worst* could revert all the changes in moments. Even if your DDL schema definitions are stored in source control, and even if you track your migrations in source control, an idiot doing a series of unmonitored migrations while on drugs could really wreck your app. Now imagine if you only stored the schema definitions in source control but not the migration scripts and someone wrecks it. You'd definitely tear your hair out migrating your schema backwards from what you currently have to what you originally had and it'd be really really irritating and time consuming but not necessarily impossible. ...which is basically what they showed on the show. It's not far fetched.

They got that "what the gently caress" feeling right. Watching The Carver screw up the database gave me a sinking feeling in my stomach. You can really, really screw up code revision. I worked with a dude who had like, a bunch of different branches named "lab.machine1", "lab.machine2", and so on. Every workspace was somehow interconnected to all the others in a weird way, so that it wasn't really possible to merge differences. There were so many reverts and dependences that it was impossible to isolate changes to a single feature. And when we asked him what was where, he was just like "i forgot"
