The OFFICIAL programming thread

I’ve always tested my code but our process for migration to QA is such a PITA that I’m doubly incentivized to get it right and not have to go through it more times than is necessary.

I wish our developers thought testing their code was a good idea. Even worse our department wants to go to CICD so they will break production even faster.

In banking you get fired if you create downtime. Well ok somebody is getting fired, and often it’s the poor programmer ordered to do stupid things, not the manager who actually caused it.

Banking actually pays for talented programmers though, unlike my company.

That’s a problem.

Bail fast, inevitably bad engineering leads to Boeing.

My problem is nobody has actively managed the development group in years so testing isn’t even a thing. I have suggested, cussed, raged, etc and nothing happens. Newest boss is a dumbass so not getting better anytime soon. The whole development group needs to be fired as well and start from scratch. It used to upset me but now I mostly don’t give a shit. If it all falls apart, I am not the one in charge.

Yeah, I wish but can’t atm. Am getting paid pretty well so will probably milk that for as long as I can.

I had to search through the comments before I learned they were talking about GitHub activity:

That’s a pretty good chart showing how many times I delete and start over.

Samsung workers made a major error by using ChatGPT

Samsung meeting notes and new source code are now in the wild after being leaked in ChatGPT

Interesting enough article without the lying, clickbait intro text.

I guess the fuckers got me to read it.

Nerds, to me!

I have an Excel line chart plotted, but want to add a static line to it. By static I mean the value is the same across all 12 months, so its just a straight horizontal line. If I do x-y with y being the value, and x being the dates, it doest draw a line, it just plots the one value at the first date. Now this is because I dont have the corresponding table built with that static number running across all the date value, its just too much work

I think i’'ve done this before years ago, but I also used Sigma Plot back then so maybe not.

Dis blue line

Can’t you just use the same table where the variable data is coming from and insert a column? Enter the static value and let Excel auto fill it out down the entire range.
