I started being camera on a few months back and it's lead to management thinking I should take on more team lead roles.

I think it's just they pop their heads into meetings, see me with camera on and assume I'm leading it?

if that's not a powerful argument for camera off 24/7 then i don't know what is

A great way to gain experience is by loving up a lot and then going back and figuring out why you hosed up.

the trick there is loving up enough that you can learn useful things from it, while loving it up little enough that you can still see a way out of the hole you dug for yourself

me, i'm mostly just piling more trash onto the heap. even if i had time to try to correct some of the mistakes, i don't know what to do about them

all this mirrors what i've heard elsewhere, which is that a monorepo can work if you're willing to invest in and dedicate a team of devs to building out tooling and such

This probably can't handle anything really complicated but it's worth a try for simple regexes.

the one in the very first pic is wrong

Y is a vowel ?

the regex in the first pic is /nw*g/i, which isn't quite "all words starting with n and ending with g"

unless the whole thing is a joke, in which case i can only claim poe's law

Discard it and let him reinvent the function in his own time.

He picked the ticket, right? To me, that means he wants to work on it. I wouldn't spoil his fun.

yeah, i think i agree with this. especially given:

Just be careful about how you're presenting it because aggressive CYA can get you labelled "not a team player" real quick

also there's a good chance this will be called out as being Not Your Job. ime charts like that are created by, maintained by, and for project people

However last week he had two hotfixes, these can skip the PR process at present. Somehow he pushed in changes that not only contained his stuff but also undid a load of other peoples tickets. He has no idea how this happened. he claims to not have noticed that his 1 line hotfix contained diffs in 71 files.

I only noticed this when he had forgotten to backmerge his hotfixes into dev, so I created a PR for it and noticed things didn't look right, marked as draft with "do not merge" on it and asked him to take a look cos his changes made no sense and something was wrong.
I had lunch and walked the dog, by the time I returned he had approved and merged the PR into dev, even though the raiser (me in this case) should always be the one who merges.
So now I have a master and dev branch missing multiple peoples work.

When I ask him why he did that, he claims he didn't. When I show him the PR with his name stamped on it he blames the tool for being confusing. Seems he came in, smashed merge on 3 PRs that were waiting for him and then did that one too. Not actually reading any of them.

Unpicking this has been a nightmare because hes been using various 'base' branches to hold his work and then merging between them, which are named after JIRA tickets he hasn't even started yet. So a merge of branch 'Jira-1002' might actually be ticket 1020, and 1002 is still marked as backlog, despite it being in production

revoke his merge permissions

--edit: AngularJS is EOL since January 2022, so if they're still hugging that one, they'll eventually have to move on.

the angular/angularjs thing is almost as good as .net framework/.net core/.net

shame on an IGA posted:

they already decided that and need OP to help them justify it to themselves post-facto. The pro move for OP right now is to get equity in the target corp somehow so his dumbshit bosses at least have to buy it from him

the equity idea is great because then op can claim conflict of interest and avoid having to deal with this

Gee that couldn't possibly be because the vast majority of searchable examples out there do poo poo like use wildcards for everything for the sake of brevity.

we can simply train an ai only on good code

and how do we identify that? well, we first have to train a separate ai to be able to identify good code,

The current state of AI is having a junior dev you have to watch and review. It can be useful. But you can’t just accept what it puts out without editing.

this will be the state of ai forever, barring some radical new approach. get used to it
