Why lemmy.zip?

[–] lysdexic@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago

The whole programming.dev site was severely broken in the last release last month, and so far hasn't been fixed.

You’ve never met an average ASP.NET developer?

OP is right. For web development with JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, etc) with Node and even Typescript, you either use vscode or you haven't discovered vscode yet.

They’re really not. As much as I hate commercial licensing for any dev tools, if you want to talk about superior there’s nothing quite as good as Visual Studio (not code) on Windows.

It really depends on what kind of project you're working on. For .NET projects that might be true, but for other languages such as anything involving C++ then Visual Studio lags way behind CLion, which is multiplatform to boot.

Your comment feels half-baked at best. You start to talk about "best editors" but you proceed to present your two best examples and neither has anything remotely related to editors.

CLion is undoubtedly the absolute best IDE for C++ projects, and it's multiplatform on top of it. It's not even a competition, specially if you're using CMake. Using Git integration as your best and single example to refute this is extremely puzzling by how silly it is.

I just checked the status of communities such as !data_structures@programming.dev.

They are still fucked.

I understand not everyone can be a pro or spare time from their personal life to fix problems they barely had time to create to begin with.

But the truth of the matter is that programming.dev is proving itself to be unusable.

Just to think that not so long ago Lemmy was being portrayed as a Reddit alternative.

i interpreted the “trend” correctly, “devops” was bastardized away from its original meaning to now mean “sysadmin”, at least in most cases.

I don't think I agree. The role of a sysadmin involved a lot of hand-holding and wrangling low-level details required to keep servers running. DevOps are something completely different. They handle specific infrastructure such as pipelines and deployment scripts, and are in the business of not getting in the way of developers.

And Gallup claims that 29% of Americans have been diagnosed with depression at one point:

That really doesn't mean anything. The only requirement for succumbing to a depression is being alive, because all it takes is something bad happening in your life (loss lf friend, loved one, even pet, etc) to fall into a pit of despair.

Every job lately seems to have been infected by Meta/google “data driven” leadership. Its so painful and wasteful sometimes.

It's cargo cult mentality. They look at FANGs and see them as success stories, and thus they try to be successful by mimicking visible aspects of FANG's way of doing things, regardless of having the same context or even making sense.

I once interviewed for a big name non-FANG web-scale service provider whose recruiter bragged about their 7-round interview process. When I asked why on earth they need 7 rounds of interviews, the recruiter said they optimized the process down from the 12 rounds of interviews they did in the past, and they do it because that's what FANGs do. Except FANGs do typically 4, with the last being an on-site.

But they did 7, because FANGs. Disregard "why".

In the 2010s, the mindset at tech giants seemed to be that they had to hire the best developers and do everything they could to keep them.

Not really. The mindset was actually to hire skilled developers just to dry up the market, so that their competitors would not have skilled labour to develop their own competing products and services.

Then the economy started to take a turn for the worse, and these same companies noted that not only they could not afford blocking their competitors from hiring people but also neither did their competitors. Twice the reasons to shed headcount.

It was not a coincidence that we saw all FANGs shed people at around the same time.

It looks like many communities are still down following the last update.

Does anyone have any update on this issue? I'd love to continue using Lemmy but I won't be able to do so if it's unusable.

[–] lysdexic@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

I thought it had been closed by the mods or admins.

I'm the mod and the guy who created the community, so I dare say that was not the case.

 

Since the last update, it's not possible to get the !data_structures@programming.dev community page to even load. Can anyone take a look at the problem?
