I wouldn't recommend staying with a company for 17 years. That's for sure. Best way to get stuck in a company specific niche skill that is not transferable. For the reasons stated you got to keep yourself positioned well skills wise and relevant so you can jump into any role you need at any time.
Integrity is not for the company. It's doing things the way you think they should be done and earn your own respect.
I would say all companies don't replace with cheaper. Many do. Especially the shitty ones. It's quite easy to avoid those like the plague. Many did, and learnt the hard way, many have staff that have seen failed outsourcing and are in a position to influence that.
Soloing knowledge doesn't keep you safe though as the penny pinching companies will remove anyway and clean up later regardless. It does not keep you safe. It's a false sense of security. Complacency is a death sentence in software development.
Professional integrity. Have you ever worked for a company that got screwed by a consultancy? Vendor lock in and charging scandalous amounts for little offer.
You are paid for your skills and your time. If you're confident in your ability and impact, you shouldn't have to be worried.
I'm not saying sacrifice for yourself for your company, and if they are a shitty company that would replace you with cheaper, get out, but also, giving nothing for the pay you get is a bit dishonest, and then you are no better than them.
Plus, you make the case that hiring people is bad and paying a consultancy is less risky.
Of course Jared didn't document anything and made themselves a bus factor. Real success is when Jared makes themself replaceable because hiding detail and making yourself critical is the best way to take a site down when you're on holiday and prevent other team members stepping in and taking ownership.
Not perfectly optimised is fine, but non-functional isn't acceptable. I've never seen a quirk personally, and quirks aren't a good reason to help maintain Google's monopoly on web standards.
You may say less than 5% is fine, but it could be the margins in a low margin industry. 2% could be 40% of the profit.
I haven't seen a team operate where a senior isn't checking it.
Usually the bleeding edge stuff is used by small companies trying to establish themselves because they have nothing to lose and no reputation to protect.
Plus, when you got Browser Stack, you catch a lot of problems like this.
Because in web development there are compatibility tables of what features work with which browser. If a developer has used a feature poorly supported, they either haven't done their homework, or intentionally made that call.
In web development, most reputable Front End Devs would not choose bleeding edge, barely supported features even if the temptation was there because the user comes first. Generally, you wait until it has been adopted by the main browsers (chrome, safari, ff).
Isn't this just the tech version of cuckooing?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckooing
Illegally using someone's property to make profit from dodgy business.
I didn't drink or have sex for a big proportion of my life (until 16). Was quite happy to ditch old habits.
The thing is, chrome was probably built for spying.
Never noticed an issue and if websites using only chrome supported features, it's an issue with the website, not the browser.
Oh yeah, I see now. I misread that.
She went to war with unions and the working class. Destroyed workers rights, used the police to antagonise and dismantle strikes, left towns and cities in economic decline. She screwed a LOT of people. Many hate her here.
Blender or GIMP? Idk.
I didn't realise Valve had gone into vaccinations, but Mumps, Measles and Rubella are nasty fuckers.
Unit tests, yes, but you don't only do unit tests. Integration and e2e tests still exist.
I'd rotate it so it starts to grow to the light and give it a bit more balance.
I'd personally try it outside and see his it gets on with the drainage holes, can always bring back in if it gets sad.
I'm not sure what's with your first sentence. Everything else you said agreed with the point I was making...
Christmas Robot? Axel F?
The issue is your mindset.
You write bugs because you have something to learn. You're so focussed on what you're making, that when a learning opportunity arises, you are not open to it. You're just looking to speedrun/hack it.
You need to drop the delivery pressure and enjoy the journey. When a bug comes up, celebrate it "ah, you got me here. Interesting. What am I missing?". Then you slow down, focus not on solving it, but understanding it. If you understand it, the solving is easy.
If you consider learning "not progressing", then you need to reflect on what benefit the pressure and delivery focus is.
Garbage in, garbage out. Keep feeding it shit data, expect shit answers.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.
Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

Many said we couldn’t stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.
We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share.
Never forgive. Never forget.

Hi, all.
We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.
If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.
If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.
Thanks,
CrypticCoffee
How convenient these tech problems are.
Sorry, we cannot delete your account because... checks notes... technical problems.
It's just a "proposal," but it's also being prototyped inside Chrome right now.

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

Mozilla's position on WEI is pretty solid.

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.
We have been busy this past month! We released KDE Gear 23.04, which now contains most of the Plasma Mobile applications. The development of Plasma Shell based on Qt6 is progressing.
A few months out of date, but I'm keen on the project and waiting on the latest installment. As content here is a little dated, it cannot hurt to get this here so folk can dig into it more.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.
Hi all, I acquired moderator to recover this sub. I was dreading helping to build the community only for it to get spammed out of existence. This is our sub and we need to figure out the best way of going about it, what it should contain and what it shouldn't contain.
I have no desire of being sole mod, and perhaps not at all long term, and I would like people to join us.
I'm reluctant to dive into promoting people and regret it, and don't want to hold off too long and leave that all to me, so I'm open to feedback or challenge on how we do this. Maybe it's not my call at all. A few people may shine through as good people to take this forward and help build this community.
Please feel free to give your views on what this community should or shouldn't be. I will link to privacy and relevant communities so we can keep this one focussed.
A big shout out to comcreator@lemmy.world at https://lemm.ee/post/704704 for helping to avoid fragmentation. They probably have a claim for mod if there is no objections.
Discuss software recommendations. I locked it as I don't want it to be messy and hard to consume. Feel free to say anything here regarding that thread.
Here I will pin a list of recommendations for software. Getting started can be daunting, and it'd be great to pull that information together here for newcomers so they can take practical steps to degoogle their lives.

Does anyone know a good FOSS app for managing task lists or notes where you can use checkboxes to mark off what is completed and what isn't?
Thanks.
