TBC the trolling from my boss about repository patterns and value objects is not making me mad and it is poking fun at me (which is fine)

Of all the things I have seen “die” in programming since I started in 1998, the one I lament the most is the death of education and training. The grifters cashed in via scummy bootcamps and ripoff courses. Now search has been ruined for quarterly profits and folks are blindly trusting ChatGepetto to give them correct answers. It’s a fucking mess and the people who need to care won’t because they are contemptuous of us all.

This past week I had a problem at DayJob that would’ve been easier to solve if we had adopted the use of repositories that create immutable value objects. Since this is a Laravel project, I was overruled. My first implementation ended up being wrong (found out via production testing) and the fix ended up involving Eloquent mutators.

I still think value objects are the better solution but my boss both disagrees and trolls me about it.

Some light reading for this weekend from @cate — my pre-order via Amazon came in (I hope they don’t rip you off on royalties for it Cate!)

Look, tinfoil dancing boy, you don't get to do a drop split unless you can get back up from it without using your hands. I don't make the rules, Prince does. #totp

Mini-me just messaged the family group chat that a customer at the dollar store she works at just asked her if they price-match items

let me get this straight: slack is going to scrape all our data and poison their relationship with their userbase so they can recommend emojis? emojis? really?

I have been asked this a few times: no, I was not impacted by the layoffs at Ziff-Davis this week. At this point of my career I have made the conscious decision to focus on the tasks I have been assigned, do what I think a “staff engineer” is supposed to do, and accept that the decision about how long I get to work somewhere is out of my hands. YMMV and I sympathize with folks who are unable to make the same grumpy choices.

The time to plan that sort of transition for me (based on age) was 10-15 years ago. I had grandparents who owned a farm and it seemed like a lot more work than what I do now. The trainwreck of tech is caused by a small group of greedy fucks who think their wealth will protect them from the future state of things. It won’t

Seeing that Slack is gonna slurp up all their customer’s data to train ChatGepetto systems and making you opt out via email is :chef’s kiss:

IRC never betrayed me like that

I find no irony in that coding in the shadow of ChatGepetto requires an even larger commitment to testing and debugging, but those skills aren’t valued in our industry. Just ship it and get promoted or bail before you have to fix your mistakes.

What stage of capitalism is this?

It’s pretty bold to try and replace employees with volunteers…
