I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”
Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.
You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.
Sorry for your loss.
RagnarokOnline@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.ml•UK Orders Apple To Break Encryption Worldwide While World Is Distracted36·3 months agoOne of the people briefed on the situation, a consultant advising the United States on encryption matters, said Apple would be barred from warning its users that its most advanced encryption no longer provided full security. The person deemed it shocking that the U.K. government was demanding Apple’s help to spy on non-British users without their governments’ knowledge. A former White House security adviser confirmed the existence of the British order.
Bloody hell - I’m encouraged by this because it means that Apple’s encryption actually frustrates governments, but anyone using iCloud for storage or backups is pwned.
We will be a melting pot where goon and righteous will mingle in the everlasting hope of prosperity and freedom… for all.

RagnarokOnline@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.ml•Microsoft veteran on restarts and updates9·3 months agoYeah, the convenience of everyone having internet has shortened development cycles and meant everything is shipped with less testing and is available for constant rework/improvement.
It’s really nice sometimes to admire early software because of how cobbled-together it was and would still work well-enough.

Sales. No joke — the knowledge you need has a hard cap (the product line) but sales is commonly the highest-paid entry level employee (as long as you hit commission).
Now add a line in here for “effort” flattening out over time and that’s what I wanna see.

Found a funny one of an Eastern European kid in blue shorts spinning himself around to make himself dizzy. I remember doing the same thing when I was a kid.
Then YouTube started blocking the videos because it thought I was a bot:/
