Happy cake day.
Happy cake day.
Dashlane is pretty big and I’ve not seen any negative reports from security researchers. They offer bug bounties for people that do find vulnerabilities etc.
I believe the consensus is that password managers are better than any human password scheme. I could host my own manager but then there are more vectors for an attack, and why reinvent the wheel.
When Dashlane reports a breach. I change my passwords.
This is terrible. If someone gets a couple of your passwords it’s pretty easy to work out the patterns and gain access to your other accounts.
Don’t complicate it. Use a password manager. I know none of my passwords and that’s how it should be.
Ecstasy.
I want a modern Road Rash or Destruction Derby.
Lemmy is pretty biased and has unrealistic expectations. Like people here still think Reddit going to die, when the fact is we left over the API incident but we’re in the minority and the majority of people don’t care.
I can’t stand X or Elon, but it would be silly to not look at things objectively.
I wish Voyager would copy links in this format as I’m too lazy.
Maybe I’ll write a bot when I’m less lazy.
I like to joke that it’s because my mum is still alive and I wouldn’t do that to her, but honestly even if I’m not happy I do pass the time by entertaining myself and I may as well stick it out.
Thanks again.
I just don’t think it’s a possibility here, as even the owners who are very smart tend to not be after large salaries. They do enough to have a decent life and will turn down clients if we have too much on and don’t lead lavish lifestyles. Obviously I don’t know what they pay themselves, but they’re not flashy and more just want to do what they love.
The same for promotion and such, it’s two bosses and five developers. We don’t change the clients crazy fees and we will always do right by them, even if it means months more work for no more fees. Rare I guess to work for a company that will do what they believe is the right thing to do and not what brings in the most money.
Thanks.
Yeah you’re right one year is nothing, I have a tendency to overthink and want to know what the future will hold.
I am planning on learning more about the security side as this is something we don’t offer and think it could be a great addition for clients to not have to pay for their own pen testing etc.
Plus the boss does a lot with LLMs so I’ve been showing willingness to learn more about integrating these and he is more than happy to guide me and show me the cool things he’s built for us to use.
Thanks.
I guess it being about change is great for me, as someone with ADHD I thrive off change as it’s novel.
I have been playing with the idea of getting some certifications, but more in terms of cyber security as an extra thing I could do for our company in terms of penetration testing our applications so I may dive deeper into this area.
The same for understanding the architecture as although there are only 5 of us under the bosses, I appear to be the only one interested in the inner workings of the company and products we build. Like the boss has made a seriously cool project that will help us code the boring parts faster using LLMs and he’ll frequently call me over to show me what he’s done. Even if I don’t understand how he has devised the architecture, I’ll still be able to suggest features and give it a go at implementing them, and he is on hand to praise me and get it over the line. Like seriously this things is so cool. A lot of what we do is to our coding standards and a lot of repetition is done away with. For instance if I create a new Model in C# and save, it will watch for changes and add the new table in the code first DB file, it will suggest the validation, add the CRUD schemas, generate the typescript / GraphQL layer and even scaffold the basic views we might want. I helped build the watch command and I’ve never seen a colleague pay any interest at all.
I can sort of relate to the last paragraph as recently I’ve been on a project with a more tenured coworker who works remote, and he isn’t familiar with react as he handled more legacy projects so I got to explain all the conventions to him and it does make me realise I kinda know what I’m doing.
Thanks.
I think you’re right in that there are no rules, and although this is something that I don’t cope well with, I like set paths and to know how to approach things rather than yeah just do you.
I guess it’s hard when one minute you feel like a god and the next you feel like an imposter.
Thank you.
I think you’re right about not gaining experience outside of our tech stack right now, as we consult for various clients but the boss / lead is a certified genius (not even being hyperbolic) who has refined our stack so much that a lot is obfuscated away and each new project starts from a clone of the last.
I will say it’s been nice to learn C# .Net, but I honestly don’t understand how the whole applications tie together and I’m just building in our conventions.
I do feel like I can grow more here and really hone the skills in terms of decision making, best practices and such. It’s just overwhelming at times when he says just do X, Y, and Z but in a way that makes sense in his head but I need things breaking down a little more.
I think you’re also right in starting looking now for the next role and even if it takes a while it’s good to hone my interview skills as this is somewhere I really do suck. I’m not really after a massive salary, just something more than I could get if I stayed working the bar at Apple, as I am solving problems.
I should add as well that it is incredibly relaxed and the company has been amazing in making concessions for me in terms of working from home more due to ongoing car issues and the way they support my neurotic nature and will even phrase things in a way as to remove any ambiguity.
I’ve never used Lemmy on anything other than my iPhone. I’m too lazy to sign in on desktop.
I’m a software developer and I’m not sure how this is for all companies, and I’m only a year in but I have calls with clients all the time.
Clients will not be able to put into words what they want, it’s on us to get that information from them and read between the lines. You have to be able to converse freely and push back when required.
Yes.
Decide if I want to end it sooner if it’s going to drag on much longer.
This one looks stoned so it’s chill.
