At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I think the word “titta” being used in this context plays a significant role in making this as funny as it is. It just wouldn’t be as funny if it was, say, Spanish (“mira”) or French (“regarde”).
Pads, calibers and new discs. That seemed like a lot of money for 17 year old kid. I worked there for a couple of months. I learned a few things, like working on brakes is not for me.
As someone in the dev team for a “business app”, we probably know about most or all of them, but they’re just not important enough for anyone in management to prioritize them as part of a sprint. It’s also possible no one has given us reproducible steps to make them happen, so we just straight up don’t know what to fix. Usually the former though.
i will never forgive the emby team for creating the single most idiotic (although rather funny) transcoding system.
It has a resolution selection, along with a bitrate selection, so you would think it forces transcoding.
It turns out the resolution is actually just a suggestion, and the bitrate is what it targets, if it doesn’t meet the bitrate, it will transcode, and if you get lucky, it might transcode to the specified resolution.
I am steadfast that I will occasionally take some time and kill off some low hanging fruit. For me, its kind of like a break and lets me clear my head on the bigger issues.
The problem is that what users consider low hanging fruit is often not, and what is low hanging fruit for devs, is invisible stuff that users don’t notice. The intersection is the tastiest low hanging fruit, but as such it’s also rare and easily picked by anyone.
I never said that users were involved in this. This is just grabbing some bugs off the queue that are simple to fix but have been deprioritized by project manager.
But they do make the customer happy because they are the one that submitted the bug.
They usually do yes however it’s all about prioritization.
You may have hundreds or thousands or open requests and issues.
With tens of thousands of closed issues that were either not reproducible, not actually problems, or largely indecipherable.
There’s usually a feature roadmap which is where most of the development money and time is spent. If it’s an older business application then certain bugs might easily take weeks to find, fix, test, validate, go through user acceptance, A/B test, and then deploy. But fixing is expensive work, so if the bug isn’t severe it’s usually deprioritized next to higher priority work.
By not understanding how version control works. I’ve worked at places that had a surprising number of developers who would just merge things in ways that drop code from other developers.
I now work for a small business but in the interest of not getting bitten in the ass I don’t wish to give the name of my previous employer. It was a large defense contractor, but our values didn’t align so I moved on when I found another opportunity to put food on the table. I know that’s not a satisfying answer but I’m here for entertainment value and the opportunity cost might not be worth it. My main point was that even though they have the money they didn’t see the value in good software process.
All the time! We would leave bugs unfixed even if the fix was trivially easy because management felt productive listing it as a cost savings. Software maintenance was seen as a necessary evil.
Software maintenance was seen as a necessary evil.
The most important lesson I learned about the economics of software is that sourcecode is always accounted as a liability and not an asset. Accountants will never let you code your way into more value. Everything else you see stems from that truth.
I’m a Bev tech, there’s two companies that make bar guns, tapright and multiplex aka wunderbar. There’s more options for fountain dispensing but most of my work is bars and restaurants.
I’d say an app or service that allows restaurants and bars to connect with local independent bar and soda techs to request services. Has the ability to track calls, submit invoices and collect payment along with maybe being able to order from suppliers
There’s alot of places that have no idea who to call for issues relating to that stuff especially with how often staff turns over.
It’s been ages since I worked in a restaurant. IIRC, I never saw that place purge or clean the soda lines. And there was a LOT of plumbing between the fountains and the back where the syrup was kept.
At the risk of making everyone re-think ever eating out again: how often do establishments do that kind of maintenance? And is that within the recommended manufacturer interval?
Most places legit never do unless there’s a problem. When I do service I’ll usually flush what is needed but I don’t have time for a full cleaning since the customer is supposed to do that.
Corporate chains tend to have actual SOP so they tend to be cleaner in general and will have their lines cleaned more often.
I generally suggest every 4 weeks, and to do it when a box needs to be changed since you are only gonna be flushing the last bit of an old box out of the lines. Luke warm water in a 5 gallon pail and you dunk your qcds with the caps off, run the gun or fountain till it’s clear then start mashing the buttons to get any bits stuck in the line. Pull the qcd from bucket then put cap back on, reattach to box and run gun/fountain till product is running properly.
Tbh, it’s not the lines you gotta worry with soda it’s the gun itself, some places never clean the nozzles and they get gross. Also most of the time any bad tastes are related to water or a bad syrup ratio. I had someone call me saying their lemon lime tasted “dirty” it was a bad ratio, took me not even 5 min to fix.
I’d worry more about the beer though that’s a whole different beast. Lines should be done every two weeks, once a month at the very least. That shit will make you sick if it’s dirty enough, I’ve seen so horrid things related to beer.
Bro that reminds me when I was in university and I used to tutor fellow students with the goal of getting laid. As soon as I got laid I stopped tutoring. Now unfortunately I’m married and have kids because of that.
The original commenter @cumskin_genocide did neither specify their own sex nor the gender of the people they tutored.
Multiple people under that comment simply assumed that OP is male and was tutoring girls. That is heteronormative. Yes, I formulated that with a bit of snark. But come on.
