It's funny because JS used to be a punch line but TypeScript is actually pretty great. Most of the time when I'm writing ruby I'm just thinking "I wish this was typescript"

We used to have to do it when I worked at an agency, but eventually I would just kinda say "how much do you want to bill them for this? great, that's exactly how long it took" Still an annoying waste of time and I fought really hard to get us to switch to selling weeklong sprints but they weren't having it.

Carbon dioxide posted:You won't miss anything if you take a day off because you just leave your stuff unread if you don't check it during your off day. https://twitter.com/cabel/status/703383420286578688?lang=en For requests it usually comes as a DM. Like we don't use email at all so if I want to ask someone something but not interrupt what they're doing I don't really have any options. All communication is synchronous on Slack. If someone asks me something on a DM and I don't get back to them right away it can seem like I'm ignoring them or maybe that I'm not at my computer at all. And if i missed a convo in a channel that I want to weigh in on my options are either start a thread (again, garbage interface and likely not even get seen) or respond in that channel, in the middle of whatever the current topic of conversation is and say "regarding that thing you were talking about before, blah blah blah" I think Slack is probably great for people whose job it is to talk to people all day but for me it's a total nuisance.

ChickenWing posted:I like the look of this. I maintain that threads are trash by default but this seems to really lean towards "what if email, but faster-paced" side of things. Looks like what Teams *should* be Yeah, faster email with the option to fallback on general chat via built-in DM would be nice. I'm sure it has its own issues once you get into it though.

what's there to learn really? you put stuff in the database when you want to save it and you get stuff out of the database when you want to show it and when your actions start taking way too long to save or show data you simply find a new job at a young startup and start all over again.

A company I used to work for a long time ago did one weeknight per week where they would provide beer and you could come in and hang out and work on your own stuff or work stuff or whatever. It's the kind of thing that would send me running if I heard about it now but this was a small company with people I really liked and free beer in my early 20s was a pretty good motivator.

Yeah we didn't have performance reviews or management really. Everyone was either a designer, a developer, or maybe sales/admin. Once we started growing into having stuff like managers and reviews most of the developers and designers left (including me). I don't think I ever want to work in a company larger than like 15 people.

That is absolutely not a bug. We tend to do design review phases on our product where after a batch of related stories are submitted a designer will go through and make a list of any tweaks. Generally that same designer would have been working tightly with the developer during the building of the feature so if something looks wildly different from the mockup they were probably already involved in the discussion of why. But sometimes the developer also just misses a detail from the mockup and the designer wants it the way they want it and that's ok (assuming it's not a major effort to achieve.)

My boss and I have come to an understanding that the length of the word "hi" is indicative of how annoying the request will be. "hi" = simple question with a quick answer "hiii" = probably found a bug "hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" = I'm about to derail your day, possibly week

Is it an overstep to give a junior/intermediate or even peer IDE tips when you're pairing? Sometimes when I'm watching others drive they're just doing stuff real slow/ineffectively (i.e. using the file browser pane to find files instead of cmd+t, never using split pane editing, etc.) but maybe that's just their preference?

rujasu posted:Also, the examples you gave sound much closer to preference than actually doing anything wrong IMO. I would never say this to a co-worker but flipping through the file browser trying to find a file whose name you know is extremely wrong. File browser is for when you know where the file is but you can't remember what you called it.

alright, I think i'll continue sharing it as "hey if you want to you can do <nifty little thing>." personally I think being good with my IDE helps me stay in flow state, but I also have huge issues with focus and if something minor like not being able to find a file can really throw me off track.

never work for a company with more than 15 people and never work for a company where you don't have daily interaction with the owner/CEO imo. edit: never work for a company where the top-level person makes more than like 1.5-2x what you make

I guess if you ignore already granted stock that's true at a lot of companies, but I don't think that's what you meant. Right now bootstrapped startup, and before I worked at a boutique agency. Eventually if we sell or scale the boss is gonna make a lot more money but as for now it feels like a small team that's all pulling in one direction without a big salary divide.

asur posted:I don't know your specific situation, but I don't see how there's not a divide when one person, or a set of founders, stands to make 10x to 50x+ more than anyone else. I've also never seen a successful boutique company where the owner(s) aren't raking in substantially more than anyone else. I'm sure there's some cases of this happening, but it seems to be far outside the norm. "Stands to make" is different than "actually makes." If things change and my boss buys a McLaren then yeah I'll move on to the next thing. The boutique was ultimately not successful but it provided me with a good job that I enjoyed and learned a lot in for like ten years (and a lovely job that I hated for another year and a half after we took investment and merged with another company.)

My ability to focus has been shot since March, might be the same with your teammates. I feel lazy but like, sometimes I close the forums and say "ok I'm gonna get to work now" and then open the forums again. All I have to do is press the little button to block time waste websites and sometimes it's like I can't do it. I'm still getting poo poo done but yeah, people are struggling.
