  • CodeSOD: Join Us in this Query
    Today's anonymous submitter worked for a "large, US-based, e-commerce company." This particular company was, some time back, looking to save money, and like so many companies do, that meant hiring offshore contractors. Now, I want to stress, there's certainly nothing magical about national borders which turns software engineers into incompetents. The reality is simply that contractors never have their client's best interests at heart; they only want to be good enough to complete their contract. This gets multiplied by the contracting firm's desire to maximize their profits by keeping their contractors as booked as possible. And it gets further multiplied by the remoteness and siloing of the interaction, especially across timezones. Often, the customer sends ...

  • CodeSOD: A Ruby Encrusted Footgun
    Many years ago, JP joined a Ruby project. This was in the heyday of Ruby, when every startup on Earth was using it, and if you weren't building your app on Rails, were you even building an app? Now, Ruby offers a lot of flexibility. One might argue that it offers too much flexibility, especially insofar as it permits "monkey patching": you can always add new methods to an existing class, if you want. Regardless of the technical details, JP and the team saw that massive flexibility and said, "Yes, we should use that. All of it!" As these stories usually go, that was fine- for awhile. Then one day, a test started failing because a class name wasn't defined. That was already odd, but what was even odder is that when they searched through the code, that class na ...

    Legacy systems are hard to change, and even harder to eliminate. You can't simply do nothing though; as technology and user expectations change, you need to find ways to modernize and adapt the legacy system. That's what happened to Alicia's team. They had a gigantic, spaghetti-coded, monolithic application that was well past drinking age and had a front-end to match. Someone decided that they couldn't touch the complex business logic, but what they could do was replace the frontend code by creating an adapter service; the front end would call into this adapter, and the adapter would execute the appropriate methods in the backend. Some clever coder named this "Backend for Frontend" or "BFF". It was not anyone's BFF. For starters, this system didn't actually ...

For those few (everyone) who didn't catch the off-by-one from last week's batch, there's the clue. "Gotta CAPTCHA 'Em All," puns Alex G. "So do I select them all?" he wondered.

    Barry rolled into work at 8:30AM to see the project manager waiting at the door, wringing her hands and sweating. She paced a bit while Barry badged in, and then immediately explained the issue: Today was a major release of their new features. This wasn't just a mere software change; the new release was tied to major changes to a new product line- actual widgets rolling off an assembly line right now. And those changes didn't work. "I thought we tested this," Barry said. "We did! And Stu called in sick today!" Stu was the senior developer on the project, who had written most of the new code.

  • Representative Line: Time for Identification
    If you need a unique ID, UUIDs provide a variety of options. It's worth noting that variants 1, 2, and 7 all incorporate a timestamp into the UUID. In the case of variant 7, this has the benefit of making the UUID sortable, which can be convenient in many cases (v1/v2 incorporate a MAC address which means that they're sortable if generated with the same NIC). I bring this up because Dave inherited some code written by a "guru". Said guru was working before UUIDv7 was a standard, but also didn't have any problems that required sortable UUIDs, and thus had no real reason to use timestamp based UUIDs. They just needed some random identifier and, despite using C#, didn't use the UUID functions built in to the framework. No, they instead did this: string uniqueID ...

    At one point, someone noticed that some financial transactions weren't summing up correctly in the C# application Nancy supported.

    Jenny had been perfectly happy working on a series of projects for her company, before someone said, "Hey, we need you to build a desktop GUI for an existing API." The request wasn't the problem, per se. The API, on the other hand, absolutely was. The application Jenny was working on represented a billing contract for materials consumed at a factory. Essentially, the factory built a bunch of individual parts, and then assembled them into a finished product. They only counted the finished product, but needed to itemize the billing down to not only the raw materials that went into the finished product, the intermediate parts, but also the toilet paper put in the bathrooms. All the costs of operating the factory were derived from the units shipped out. This mea ...

    Fresh out of university, Remco accepted a job that allowed him to relocate to a different country. While entering the workforce for the first time, he was also adjusting to a new home and culture, which is probably why the red flags didn't look quite so red. The trouble had actually begun during his interview. While being questioned about his own abilities, Remco learned about Conglomcorp's healthy financial position, backed by a large list of clients. Everything seemed perfect, but Remco had a bad gut feeling he could neither explain nor shake off. Being young and desperate for a job, he ignored his misgivings and accepted the position.

Amazon's bid highlights the 11th-hour maneuvering in Washington over TikTok's ownership. Policymakers in both parties have expressed deep national security concerns over the app's Chinese ownership, and pas ...

  • 95% of Code Will Be AI-Generated Within Five Years, Microsoft CTO Says
    Microsoft Chief Technology Officer Kevin Scott has predicted that AI will generate 95% of code within five years. Speaking on the 20VC podcast, Scott said AI would not replace software engineers but transform their role. "It doesn't mean that the AI is doing the software engineering job.... authorship is still going to be human," Scott said. According to Scott, developers will shift from writing code directly to guiding AI through prompts and instructions. "We go from being an input master (programming languages) to a prompt master (AI orchestrator)," he said. Scott said the current AI systems have significant memory limitations, making them "awfully transactional," but predicted improvements within the next year. Read more of this story at Slashdot. ...

    Hey everyone, I’ve been a senior developer for several years, primarily working with Tailwind CSS, React, JavaScript, PHP and backend technologies. Over the last two years, I was laid off twice due to startup struggles, and I know I’m not the only one dealing with this in the tech world. Beyond job hunting, I wanted to reach out to the web dev community to share experiences and connect. If you’ve been through similar situations, how did you navigate the uncertainty? Have you found more stability in different types of companies or industries? Right now, I’m based in Portugal and working on projects related to fitness, e-commerce, and health tech. If anyone is looking for an experienced developer (or just wants to chat about startups, side projects, and tech), ...

  • Does your company use activity tracking software like Hubstaff or Monitask?
    So my company uses Hubstaff to track our time and activity levels; things like mouse movement, keyboard input, and random screenshots. I brought it up with my manager because I wasn’t sure what problem it was solving, but didn’t really get a clear answer. Just something about "transparency" being a top priority. I get that remote work makes it harder to know what everyone’s doing, but I’ll be honest, it feels kind of intrusive and like there’s a trust gap. I’ve heard some companies use Monitask, which I think works similarly but might be less heavy-handed? Curious what others think, is this normal now for remote jobs? Do any of you work somewhere that uses these tools in a better (or worse) way? submitted by /u/Suzanne_Faddy [link] ...

  • Which is the best pattern for nested flexboxes?
    I am building a UI as in the image, and I have nested containers with similar properties: One child is fixed height. The other child(re) take(s) up the remaining space. (Not always) Overflow is taken care of by the child that grows. Up to now, I have been handling this (within MUI) with <Container> and some flexbox macumba, but I feel like this is too complicated to be right way to do it and usually, when I am forcing something, it's because of my ignorance, hence this question of mine.

    Hey all! I'm a primarily front-end developer that has been working in various companies over the last five years, mainly in agencies building websites for different companies. I lost my job just over a year ago and have been able to take a bit of a breather since then. I've applied to a bunch of jobs without any luck. And while that sucks I do see this is a kick in the butt to actually start my own business which is what I really want to do anyways. Although I am terrified and continuously beat myself up thinking it will be impossible.

  • Are there services that offer a sort of "Headless LMS", to avoid building everything from scratch?
    I have a client on WordPress and LifterLMS to offer courses to students. As the needs and application grow, WordPress is becoming slower and slower, and I feel a rebuild is soon in order. However, building everything from scratch (auth/payments/subscriptions/etc) seems like a lot of work when this problem has been solved before. So my options I can think of are: Build everything from scratch, using a JS framework and database Use WordPress & LifterLMS via REST API – essentially using the backend of WordPress Stay with WordPress and just rebuild the theme.

    The loading of this feed has been deferred to save bandwidth.

  • Don't worry, this is on purpose! Promise!

  • At least, it should load... Click here to force the load.

    (For the feeds to actually load, the top of "The Atlantic" feed must reach the top of the browser and you must have a browser width of at least 890px. If your browser is too tall, and the bottom of the browser reaches the bottom of the page before the top reaches the top bound of the browser, the feeds will not load.)

About all this

  • What's this page about?
  • This is a basic start page for my own personal use. Search, random links, lots of rss feeds all aggregated into one.
  • This looks awfully like Popurls!
  • As it should. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this case is no different. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, nor taking credit for anything which I do not have due.
  • Then why?
  • This was all an excerscise to further flex my knowledge and tinker with something new.
  • What was flexed?
  • Attempts were made at making a site which thought a bit about usability (although, probably an overload of information at this point) while being fully W3C valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS which is W3C valid (except the hack used in the YUI Reset!), JQuery to drive the fancy stuff, and Python behind the scenes. At least... that was the goal.
  • The page uses skeleton.css along with media queries to give different viewing experiences for wide browsers("desktop")vs small viewing areas ("mobile"). Media queries were selected so one could easily jump between different modes. Some javascript has exceptions to not or to trigger when viewed on "mobile" browsers.
