- Comment on The only thing doing tech tests has taught me is that I'm too stupid to do the job I've been doing professionally for the better part of 2 decades. 1 year ago:
I only got quite simple tests tbf, but I don’t look for senior positions. Main thing is to just get the problem solved writing decent code (if it’s a home assignment) or to walk them through your reasonings
The only time I got a leetcode waste of time it was a Dijsktra/A* problem (which I failed)

Why? Tech tests are fine, absurd complex tests for shitty jobs are not

With freedom comes comfort
lol, tell me that when you use a banking app outside the Google play services
Freedom [to install your own OS on a mobile device] for sure won’t bring me any comfort, and in fact it’s something I don’t care about.

Never said you were wrong lol
If you value freedom over comfort, then obviously an iPhone doesn’t cut it

Inability to self-repair. Apple made it harder on purpose.
Can you repair android phone nowadays? Afaik, they are just as hard as apple
Clipboard and files sharing is still a joke. It works, but is uncomfortable as fuck.
Never had a problem
No easy & free way to sideload apps.
this should come before March 2024
Overpriced smartphones & gadgets.
True for the gadgets, smartphones are just in line with other android phones but at least the phone is supported for 5-6 years and it doesn’t go to shit after a few years of use
Shitty media format support.
Preach.
Buying an Apple device means I would literally support anti-consumer company with shitty behavior towards its users
Then buy no phone and remove google, etc. For a computer, buy a System76 et similia -but do not use Nvidia/AMD/intel GPU/CPU; no Samsung for SSD, no Intel network card etc.
Apple wallet does not support discount cards.
But you can?Maybe it’s new, idk
Can’t simply upload & download files from my PC (both Windows & Linux).
True. I use iCloud webApp on Linux or transfer the files on Mega
No proper files management.
It works for the most basic use cases
No ability to install 3rd party OS.
True, but on the other hand iOS is the reason you would buy an iPhone. I’m a power user on desktop but I can’t be bothered on mobile: back when I had an android, I used the stock apps too and never did anything “”“weird”“”. I’m a desktop user throughout, so if I have to do anything I will just use my PC instead of relying on my phone

- Comment on For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories? 1 year ago:
I got cursed with big, thick, hands so I can use my iPhone 13 Pro Max with one hand…
Imagine being a woman with very being hands, not funny at all
- Comment on Linear code is more readable 1 year ago:
Left is clearly more readable, after you read comments. I think the example is bad though, and in most cases right would be clearer

- Comment on What are the recommend changes to make iPhone more private? 1 year ago:
Oh yeah, afaik the only services which don’t have end to end encryption are the mail, books, calendar and contacts storages. Most stuff is E2E (if you enable it)
- Comment on What are the recommend changes to make iPhone more private? 1 year ago:
Can’t you use iCloud services enabling the end to end encryption?

There is no codebase, I have to write it from scratch. Also nope, I’ve religiously avoided Java so far

- Comment on Is it normal to design a database without writing an analysts first but basing it on the design? 1 year ago:
I think you misunderstood, I’m the one implementing the API and writing the queries - alongside a coworker that doesn’t have BE experience. I’m not the one who made the DB though, neither is he, and the design is not very reliable
- Comment on Is it normal to design a database without writing an analysts first but basing it on the design? 1 year ago:
EDIT: writing it out, I swear, makes no sense at all
Oh I’m not the one who designed the DB, I just implement the endpoints and stuff for this particular project (my role is that of a FE dev).
I asked cause:
- they were saying that between me and my coworker, who actively work on the project, and the DB designer, the communication is poor. Which is obviously true since we were handed out the DB with an oral, confused, explanation for a complex DB;
- they didn’t foresee how interconnected the part 1 and part 2 were. Let me explain how stupid this is: the data from part 1 are mostly read only, which are provided from part2. We knew about this from day one, but it was never added to the visual design… and neither to the DB. So when they actually went to work on part 2 - months later we had the green light to work on the project - they had this sudden realisation: the data are interconnected, we have to rework part 1! (which would have been completely avoidable beforehand)
- Comment on Is it normal to design a database without writing an analysts first but basing it on the design? 1 year ago:
The DB is already made, but they had to change it cause they didn’t plan a huge portion of its logic beforehand even though they knew about it. This resulted in major changes across the whole schema, while we were already working on implementing the various features
