whats wrong with unity (for what i assume to be a hobby project)? seems to be like a good option if you skip the mountains on integrated tooling, boot into vs/rider and hack away using someone else's multiplatform support work

it's just too much at this stage, i don't want to learn a big engine when i should be learning game development basics (all my experience so far is web dev). was using sdl before this, monogame seems similar just with a much, much nicer language attached.

in the process of learning i learned System.Dynamic has a class called ExpandoObject and i think that is just wonderful (in addition to it being hella useful)

You can throw away all of the type checking and pretend that you're writing javascript, but why would you want to do that?

if you have a login form that you're trying to turn off autocomplete for, you should stop because you're being really dumb. if it's not a login form but it's accidentally being detected as one, that kinda sucks, but why are you using a password field?

you can't turn it off because idiot web developers were saying "i want my app to be sooper secure so i'm going to turn off autocomplete and make people remember their passwords", which is dumb as rocks.

dehumanize yrself and face to game engines. don't fall into the trap that i did where you piss around attempting to write games from scratch because you're too cool to use a real engine.

unity's simple poo poo, you'd have no problem learning game dev basics in it.

oh, so you’re writing an application but making people access it through a web page

don’t do that, write a real user interface, then Chrome won’t get in the way

Apparently the most used feature on our software is the ability to POST raw SQL to an API controlled by our software which then executes the query on an internal database controlled by whatever vendor specific system the customer has configured and returns the results of the query. My gut tells me that this is a catastrophe waiting to happen and I'm not sure I want to know why this exists in the way that it does but whatever. Looking through the list of systems we support through this feature though I saw that several of them don't expose the database and I was curious as to how we were executing SQL queries on these. Ended up finding a lot of this good stuff from the previous dev:

code:

if(queryText.ToLower().Trim() == "select * from offices")
{
	return _vendorHttpApi.GetOffices();
}
else if (...)

Nothing looks like it supports any WHERE clauses or joins or anything right now but at least when those requests start coming in there's an actual sql to linq library I guess.

so lastdev home rolled a timeseries database in mongo and kinesis and now there's a bug that i genuinely don't know how to fix.

step 1: get a reproducable test case in which you can go from a correct state start to a state where the bug is clear to see
step 2: shrink down the test case as much as possible, ideally to a single API call but that's often not actually possible
step 3: delve into the broken call to get to a half-way point and see if the state there is broken or not. repeat i.e. binary search/

note that if the call is opaque to you ie you can't actually view the internals and it's just okay before but broken after then that's possibly an external bug and instead of fixing it you need to find a workaround, or ask for help, etc. from what you say i'm guessing that you have access to the intermediate states/code though

e: especially if it's in scala, because intellij lets you 1) view sources of most dep jars, and 2) set breakpoints on said sources. this is super loving useful, i once spent a day in spray json's internals. note that implicits do make this process more annoying however. let me know if you want to go into more detail about debugging implicits

c tp s: after losing access to dapper for the foreseeable future i tried to make it so data access implementors at least don't have to deal with too much OracleDataReader/IDataReader cruft through reflection and dynamics

i hate this application so much. i dont understand our data or use case. i know our stack really well and I'm good at tooling around in it but when it comes to implementing business logic i'm totally lost. i've been here 9 months.

lmao. why bother "parsing" sql statements if you're just going to do string matching?

go find whoever wrote that and publicly shame them in the office or whatever.

Guy wrote his own installer, logger, CRM, helpdesk system, billing system, job application system and it all exists across like 3 assemblies so when the job that parses the resumes to the open HR position fails for whatever reason then there's a good chance that we won't receive emails about errors or someone won't get billed etc.
