<ec> hi loves!
<swart> wb ec
<ec> wb wb
<ec> whatever that means
<ec> ilu how's life
<ec> come write code w/ me
<swart> I just spent 2 hours at the DMV and I'm not even mad
<ec> nem
<swart> nem
<swart> 🍰
<ec> nem nem
<ec> RevConf served cake for breakfast
<swart> that was one item on my mental list. then cake
<swart> nice. how do you like graphql now
<ec> I don't know anything about it
<ec> just saw a little bit of an overview
<swart> I looked at the docs when you were discussing it and thought it looked like work
<ec> lmao
<ec> work
<swart> I just got my graph search stable man
<swart> last thing I want is arbitrary queries I never thought of
<swart> I built this thing and now I get to hand it over to another team
<swart> πŸ‘‹πŸ»
<ec> those emoji are so big, thanks irccloud
* swart installed rocket in terminal. sorry
<swart> they are about 9pt here
<swart> so yeah no more code for me
<swart> my new project is setting up backing services for pivotal cloud. no idea how any of it works
<swart> I see lots of powerpoint in my future
<ec> rocket?
<ec> powerpoint wtf
<swart> ikr
<ec> oh that's fucking horrible
<swart> pays the bills
<ec> no the thingie
<ec> god can we NOT spread the :this: means :an: :image: anti-pattern ;_;
<ec> god i'm such a grumpy old man
<swart> oh yeah
<ec> I was a grumpy old man when I was 22 wtf
<swart> I just remapped : to the ... character. so I type option-; to get my emoji menu
<swart> I'm trying to ungrump
<swart> there's so much wrong with puters I just try to deal with it
<swart> I didn't start my CS until I was 21 anyhow. I think at 22 I was just at the "oh that's how they work" stage
<swart> back in the 80s when 30% of the class was female and 80% of us we math nerds
<swart> now it seems, different
<ec> jfhbrook: your birthday is the same time as my sister's!
<jfhbrook> oh?
<jfhbrook> the 23rd?
<ec> oh, no, the 16th
<jfhbrook> ahh
<jfhbrook> but yeah, turning 30
<jfhbrook> it's a big one
<ec> jesus, didn't know you were older than me
<jfhbrook> but yeah ec with confs I'm a cheapskate so I try to get my employers to send me to confs but they're not philanthropists either so, like, at CN it was all sponsored confs only (got the 2 jsconfs outta that) and here, like, my boss is cool enough to get me to a conf a year or so but they have to be d8a related
<jfhbrook> hah! people rarely properly guess my age
<jfhbrook> most people seem to assume I'm closer to their age than mine
<pikajude> i'm having an existential crisis again
<pikajude> just spent three days doing this codegen stuff
<pikajude> first review comment on the diff is "instead of [thing X], why didn't you just do [thing Y using completely different system]"
<pikajude> this has happened for basically every large project i've ever done in any company
<jfhbrook> so
<jfhbrook> I gotta go in 5 minutes, but a few reactions
<jfhbrook> a) that kinda thing happens, especially when you're new to a codebase
<jfhbrook> b) you can ask for feedback earlier, before doing the work, sometimes that helps
<jfhbrook> c) no existential crisis necessary, after all you still exist
<ec> ~CLOSE THE FEEDBACK LOOP~
<ec> hahah was a whole talk about that today
<pikajude> i spent about two and a half weeks getting feedback for how this system was supposed to work
<pikajude> this never came up
<jfhbrook> that's not really your fault then
<pikajude> pretty sure i'm just a liability to whatever team i'm on
<pikajude> they're pumping a salary into someone who has no idea what he's doing and no idea how to figure it out
<jfhbrook> no, not that I want to throw blame everywhere but it sounds like you did your due dilligence
<jfhbrook> you've also been at this job, what? 6 months? maybe?
<pikajude> about 5 weeks now
<pikajude> but this is an ongoing pattern
<pikajude> and is the reason i've never been promoted
<pikajude> because i can't be relied upon to build a system that works
<pikajude> well, i mean, it works, but it doesn't utilize the stuff we already have that would maybe help
<jfhbrook> so like
<jfhbrook> 5 weeks is nothing
<jfhbrook> onboarding time in my experience is like 6 months
<jfhbrook> at least
<jfhbrook> but also
<jfhbrook> you work at facebook, no?
<jfhbrook> that interview process is brutal
<jfhbrook> I'd never get a job there even if I really wanted it and studied
<jfhbrook> alright gotta go for real o/
<pikajude> yeah i work at facebook
<ec> hmmmmmm
<ec> pikajude: oh, cool
<ec> that's such a huge step up from Freakin' GoDaddy
<ec> I'm proud of you, how did I miss that!
<pikajude> i've told you a couple times already
<ec> oh
<ec> I'm so proud of you, I'm glad my atrocious memory means I get to compliment you over and over!
<pikajude> on the plus side, they've planned out a leveling trajectory for new hires
<pikajude> so my inevitable failure won't go ignored for 3 years
<gkatsev> lol
prophile has quit [Excess Flood]
prophile has joined #elliottcable
<Pyrrh> so I got a 1bitsy in the mail today and I am p excited to play with it :3
prophile has quit [Quit: The Game]
<pikajude> what's that
<swart> Pyrrh: there's a good ARM tutorial here if you want to get down and dirty https://azeria-labs.com/writing-arm-assembly-part-1/
<swart> looks like you need a programmer for that. no wasteful USB :o
<jfhbrook> psst
<jfhbrook> what achitecture was the pirate's processor?
<swart> not familiar with that board
