Meanwhile humans:

Elves? Dwarves? I believe they’re all brilliant on their own rights! For example - dwarven slaves make for perfect labourers while elven slaves are wonderful bedmates!

HAHA! SEXPRESSION! GET IT?

I code in JS, so I’m something of a C dev myself!

A scam, isn’t it?

I’m interested in the frontend engineer position, can I send my CV via lemmy to make sure that an actual human will see it?

You seem to enjoy overengineering your code, don’t you?

I have to say that I may be a bit ignorant, because I’m mostly engaged in greenfield projects with very tiny devteams and I always keep my dependencies count low as possible

Thank you for pointing this out, that’s very valuable to keep in mind

It does take a lot of space for devs, but personally I find that absolutely irrelevant, because it’s your end user’s experience that really matters, and - as a dev - you are most likely to have a much better rig and internet connection than your average Joe.

Which is of very little importance in most cases, because modern bundlers incorporate treeshaking in order to filter out all the unused code when you’re building a production application

Edit: okay well appearently that’s controversial for some reason

When I was a junior, I was given an entire front-end app to develop entirely on my own with very little guidance from the team-lead. It was some ridiculously bad code, especially since it was my first time working with React with basically zero preparation.

Few months later, project is delivered, I get some time to read docs and guides before starting the next one. Since I was learning theory on what I would practise earlier, I was digesting it extremely fast and it helped me patch up all the holes in my thinking and learn how things should actually be done.

Soon after the next project came and it was definitely much more of a smooth ride. The code was alright and even the early decisions I made were pretty sustainable much later. It was another project I was working all alone, then some people joined in and I was teaching them, but I would always guide them too much and they weren’t growing very fast.

Even after a few months, these people were not ready or willing to work independently, which was my personal failure as a mentor. That’s what really assured me that people should be given a lot of space to properly grow.

My whole career is me working on increasingly larger projects with decreasing assistance. And it’s extremely effective. 4 years in the field and I just became a software architect.

Is that even a joke or a fact statement at this point?

I don’t get it

Stop saying that, it has it’s uses /;_;\

Just use the paint, internet person

This is what that indian kid would write on facebook after his first programming course lesson, to show off career choice

Actually they’ve all been replaced by 🤡

It’s the opposite, everything is passed by reference but primitives are also addresses and therefore passed by value

You can’t pass objects or functions as value

It may not be the fastest solution, or the most reliable, or the most maintainable, but it certainly would best accommodate our investors’ needs!
