Our Relationship With Logging

Isn't it just wonderful how tech culture works? You can pull 80-hour weeks, sacrifice your social life, and earn that "Senior Distinguished Principal Architect" title with the compensation package to match... but push one tiny commit with a missing semicolon at 2 AM and that's your legacy forever. The industry has this magical ability to forget all your achievements but maintain a detailed historical record of that time you accidentally deployed to production instead of staging. Your Git blame is eternal, but your Git praise? Practically nonexistent. Next time someone asks why developers have impostor syndrome, just point them to this meme and walk away slowly.

Content I've interviewed a lot of people over the last year (Java), and my favorite test is to throw a Stack Trace at them and ask them to figure out what the problem is. The answer is actually quite clear, however. Half of them don't know it's called a stack trace. Some don't know what they're looking at (BYE!). Several focus on the wrong section of proprietary code. Some ask to "open a debugger". however the answer is right there in plain english if you just read the method names. Many don't realize the line numbers are RIGHT THERE, and then start focusing on the lines ending with "Compiled Code". Then there are the ones who work their way up from the bottom, starting with the application container code, and lose their minds. Some who figure out what is happening don't have a solution to prevent it from happening. No, I'm not sharing the trace; suffice to say it's been reviewed by more than 5 of my peers and they all passed. Like Reply 1h Edited I mean, it isn't hard to eliminate people with a coding question. Do you find it impossible to teach people how to read text stack traces, or is this a skill without which they will be unable to do anything of use, or do you just not want to hire anyone? 1 am serious. 1 can come up with dozens of useful programming skills I can test a candidate on that most perfectly skilled programmers would fail. Start with eliminating people who can't code at all. Then find out what they can do that could be useful. If I have 5 people who can already take a printed out stack crash dump, I probably don't need another, and if I do, a qualified candidate can be taught that skill by someone who knows it in under a week. Then again, maybe you work for Stack Trace Inc, and your entire job is looking at stack traces. If so, by bad. Like Reply 22m

Content FuckltJS Javascript Error Steamroller FuckitJS uses state-of-the-art technology to make sure your javascript code runs whether your compiler likes it or not. Technology Through a process known as Eval-Rinse-Reload-And-Repeat, FuckltJS repeatedly compiles your code, detecting errors and slicing those lines out of the script.

Include Query, because everything requires Query 2. Include "fuckit.is" 3. The End

The eternal battle between sales and development continues! Here we have an airplane-cruise ship hybrid monstrosity representing client requests that defy the laws of physics, software engineering, and common sense. Every developer has been there: Sales comes barging in asking why you can't implement features that would require rewriting the entire codebase, inventing new programming languages, and possibly breaking several fundamental laws of computer science. Meanwhile, the actual request is like asking for a vehicle that's simultaneously a 747 and a cruise ship. Sure, I'll just quickly refactor the laws of aerodynamics and buoyancy during my lunch break! And you need it by Friday, right?
