I spent my entire career in the US until last year when I moved to Sweden. I don't mind getting paid less because my quality of life is the same. I enjoy that I won't get fired tomorrow for being sick. The 3 month notice period is interesting, but depends on the company culture. No one in my company is in a union, but we are still a startup. That's my story.

Maciej Ceglowski, in addition to shittalking il douche on twitter as @pinboard and running pinboard, has a thing called Tech Solidarity. https://techsolidarity.org/ . It's actually named after Solidarnosc, so that should tell you what he thinks it is.

I "forgot" why I still worked there and applied to about 10 different positions later that evening and I'm working on scheduling second and third interviews with a few prospects.

http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/25/bay-area-tech-executives-indicted-for-h-1b-visa-fraud/:quote:An indictment from a federal grand jury unsealed on Friday accuses Jayavel Murugan, Dynasoft Synergy’s chief executive officer, and a 40-year-old Santa Clara man, Syed Nawaz, of fraudulently submitting H-1B applications in an effort to illegally obtain visas, according to Brian Stretch, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of California. The men are charged with 26 counts of visa fraud, conspiracy to commit visa fraud, use of false documents, mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, according to prosecutors. Each charge can carry penalties of between two and 20 years in prison.

Tactical Shitpost posted:http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/03/25/bay-area-tech-executives-indicted-for-h-1b-visa-fraud/: That's nice, we actually indicted someone for this. Of course it was a rando low level outsourcing firm instead of a large company that would have actually sent a message, but it's the thought that counts.

Who else pulls out their hair at the equivalent of if( something ) { return true; } else { return false; } I don't do a couple code reviews, and it's littering the codebase now.

Oh, Clanpot hit on it, the reason they did it that way is because of poo poo like this when calling the function... if (func() === true) Hit a variation minutes later: return aVal != null ? bVal != null ? "Hello World" : null

Sure, it's not so cut and dry there, but even then, doing isTrue == true is redundant. That is implicitly what the IF statement is doing already. Would you find (((isTrue == true) == true) == true) helpful?

But what if its a "bool?"? The universe can be simplified into one of two results: yes, no, and null.

We use a few apps that make it very clear when they are within 30 days of license expiration which I always thought was a bit tacky but it might help in that kind of case.

We upload certs to an s3 bucket and a script pulls all daily and sends out louder and liouder emails the closer they are to expiring. I've still seen certs expire. Hell apple had their game center certs expire for almost a week two years back so it's not just us.

I've been working in development for a few months now (love it) but I noticed that programmers, at least the ones I interact with, tend to use phrasing like "oh yeah, I'm a dumbass" and various other self-insults a lot. I think it's pretty annoying as these people are clearly not stupid, and it's just self-defeating for nothing, pessimism and focusing on the negative. I hate it. Anybody else see this trend/feel this way? Should i just chill out and it's just a turn of phrase, or a window into a problematic part of working in dev?

Programming is only possible because we proactively accommodate human fallibility. The statement is only sarcastically a reflection of actual feelings of self-worth. It's important to acknowledge errors without ego.
