basically I can have a defect fix out through peer review in an hour, then I ask devops to deploy to test. I'm waiting more than an hour. Is my project doomed or what? The testers could probably have most of their test cases completed in the time it takes to deploy.

anyone noticed this? they almost never catch bugs, and they are extremely complicated to code, pretty much only failing due to intricated jasmine karma environment issues that are impossible to debug.
yes I actually tried doing that in the last retrospective. Immediately got attacked by the scrum master and my manager literally couldn't figure out what to say (super indian guy). literally a few days later the entire jira board is full of defects lol.
the team manager is the one who is reviewing & approving the shit code so idk how I can tell them "hey why are you approving shit code ?" I think i will either wait to be promoted or just find a new job but rn swe jobs are pretty hard to get for new grunt developers out of college. I have been coding and developing things since I was in middle school so maybe that's why i can tell that the code is so bad but for everyone else maybe that's just how it is?

hey im a jr software dev, somehow it seems like all my coworkers produce shit code 24/7. They are either trying to get it done as quickly as possible or they are lazy, or they are just clueless. They basically take the entire sprint to fix the new defects their features introduce. At first when I joined the team as a jr I didn't know exactly what their code did, now that I have been working in...
it seems like the SVG file/image contained an embedded link? And they clicked the link and got pulled into one of those scam websites asking you to install shit software viruses. It was not that the svg file just went crazy and hacked their entire machine...
You said: "You might think that more propaganda will result in people voting for bad politicians"
In the US at least, the people who vote the most are typically the older people 40+ and those people have very little experience with tech and AI and are easily tricked by fake crape. Add AI to the mix, and they literally have no perception of the real world.
sounds like a cool idea, but how small are we talking here? What about the recurring costs and the actual deployments, so like if the application requires AWS cloud buckets, etc. do you guys set that up, or just provide the code for it and the client is responsible for keeping it up and running?
I don't know, but could it be that your "pro" features aren't anything special? I mean, if a power user can be on the app for so long, and never actually need to use those features, why would they pay for it?
I doubt it would work, i mean, the way people make custom "AI", as of now is just by giving it a few new prompts and some data specific to the task you want it to do. Most of that info could probably be found on the internet for free, so what's the point?
Basically, this website lets people start their own channel live stream like on television. You know how the videos play in a pre-defined order based on a sort of schedule? This website allows you to create a channel like that which is live/anyone opening it will see the same video at the same time as you (give or take a minute based on latency). There is no server-side processing or physical mp4 video files you need to host.
i commented a second too late
basically, once you add video urls and create the channel, the channel will start a sort of live stream where it will record the date and time you created the channel, and play the videos based on the current time, so it doesn't require a server or even one to host their own videos. You can use platforms like internet archive to host the raw mp4 video urls.
If you just want to test it and see if it works, type : CartoonNetwork
into the load channel field.

i did some contract work for an AI data provider. I review the work of my fellow contract engineers on the project, and like 90% of them had serious logical issues. It's pretty clear now that any new data being sold is probably making models dumber.
