Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

You have some points, but "not well recieved" would be downvotes. I think banning is censorship and can be a fair complaint.

With that said, maybe the sub had posted rules that were violated. It isn't like OP couldn't create their own sub if that was the situation.

Banning people from communication spaces though should be a concerning behavior. It goes both ways.

They are still contradictions. As we saw, there is collateral damage to hospitals and emergency resources when anti-vaccine folks hate science until they are on their death bed.

With that said, now we are doing better to the point that anti-vaccers aren't overloading hospitals and my argument becomes moot. But during a period of time once vaccines initially were available, anti-vaccine folks were definitely hurting other people.

Code Review

Reply in thread

I feel this way about open source and the seemingly frequent lack of detailed code reviews. This one project had two function options to use from a library. One handles errors by returning them to the caller so they can be handled gracefully. The other, calls PANIC! They chose the latter and it causes a crash loop for a relatively easy to hit code condition that is sensitive to User input.

Why ask for unit test, in the code review, when you can just accept the contribution for a feature that is used in large corps.

Lol, I haven't heard of the dreaded Blackboard in forever. What a boomerang of stress 😀

@killick, if this is a website you can automate this yourself by creating a csv of that data schema you want and then use Selenium to auto-fill and submit that web form. Automated UI testers use Selinum for testing, but it doesn't have to be just a test. Selenium shoud be free to run.

In a 200 person company, I made friends with some peeps in the marketing department.

Yep, their workflows have tons of automation potential. They are definitely doing hours of work that can be done in minutes. Companies really should have rotations where a dev just sits and watches sales and marketing do any data input work.

Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?

I've started to see some of the hive mind downvote bridgade come here too. Heck someone downvoted your relatively neutral comment already, instead of taking the time to reply as to why they disagree. And those that do reply didn't actually read what you wrote and then put words and perspectives in your mouth.

A lot of reddit thinks in black and white scenarios where everything popularly decided can't have a extenuating circumstance. I am pretty sure most of reddit would argue with their own reflection. Maybe it's bots, maybe kids. It is definitely annoying and immature. It is hard to conversate in a thread when everyone is acting like a 5 year old not getting their lollipop.
