yeah, it happens, i am a bit shocked it does, but i have heard of this

I wonder if they said "gottem" after

When this happens, how should one react? Can you bring this to a lawyer or something? I imagine that fighting to stay at the company isn't the best move, your career will pretty much be stunted. How do you explain this to your next employer?

I'm about to fire someone, and I'm pretty sure he'd say the same thing even though we've given him very direct feedback. I'm not saying this is your situation, for all I know everything happened exactly as you say and it wouldn't be surprising at all. I'm just saying in a lot of these cases I bet the employee is just inadvertently or willfully ignoring the signs that something's wrong.

yeah this happened to me ~ 1 week ago. Everything was going fine seemingly, I had never gotten any negative feedback or things that I should improve on, then boom an engineer and HR told me to come with them and I was out of a job lol. When I asked why, I never got necessarily a clear answer and none of them were anything that was ever communicated to me. But it all worked out though since I'm at a higher paying job now doing stuff I like more + I got the severance pay.

Glad I live somewhere with actually good employment laws so stuff like this doesn't happen.

I kinda found a way to avoid this by getting a job as a government employee. Here where i live you can only be fired as GE if you commit a crime. The maximum they can do if your performance is low is to lower your salary until is minimum, but unless you commit a crime, they are pretty much stuck with you

Now that I think about it....

Inserting a print and having it work is like, almost always pointing directly to some sort of race condition, which I find to be an incredibly helpful clue for debugging. It's only really soul-crushing when the race condition exists in some other code you're relying on and it's structured in such a way that there's no way to *fix* the race condition and so you just have to fall back on hacky process waits and finger-crossing.

Had some C with UB that worked in debug, which I had been exclusively running it in - but failed (not with an error, but with erroneous results) in an optimized build. 100% Agree.

Bro the pain. The code is gaslighting you

FFT coming in clutch

Where can I find it?

typical undefined behavior stuff 😱

wait, does c++ just let you access out of bounds stuff without giving you an error? And the out of bounds thing you reached was whatever you declared earlier..?

@@anima94 It is undefined behavior, it could crash or it could just read whatever chunk of memory is after it. That's how a lot of vulnerabilities are created

​@@iron7956wow I didn't know that, kinda makes sense that it gives you the freedom to do so but I expected the compiler to at least mention something

There are access methods that use bounds checking for containers (.at()) but many programs opt not to use it for performance reasons.

careful, once you catch the cringe....

if you gaze into the cringe, the cringe gazes also into you. (c)

@@ThePrimeTimeagenPerhaps i am cringe, but that makes me free.

Sounds like a chad hardware setup

sounds practical babyyy, you get work done!

I have so much stuff on my dask, I have to use my whole arm to sweep some room for the laptop :D. And there's like 5 miles of cables in here.

True, even if you figure out it after some time, it's probably too complicated to begin with. It's like a plumber saying - if you need to connect 5 pipes together, you screwed up hour ago so start over

I don't really get the whole "its working but I don't know why" thing. If im writing a piece of code, I have a goal in mind so if it works it's because that goal is being accomplished

@@sa1t938 you probably take hours to build things then. Most people (after some experience) can usually write some code that does the thing, only from the unknown instinct and only then understand what it does properly. It's kind of like writing a novel when you are drunk, and thinking "how did I write this?? it's so genious, I can't even continue it now" next morning when you are in your normal senses. Well I have this experience a lot. Simply said it's just the difference between people who write their code by their instinct (like drawing art, singing etc.) vs people who write their code fully rationally. Usually first type of people is rare because code itself is more math-y and concrete, but people who write a whole lot of code and who are very creative sometimes become that "instinct" type. It's neither good nor bad imo.

@@sa1t938 Thing is, if you don't know Why something is working, it may, no, will, break the moment you change anything. If you have that sort of code you are not in control. And if you're not in control, chances are something or -- worse -- someone else is, and that usually doesn't end well

Even with a bunch of experience, you can still occasionally hit "why does this work?", it's just that you're a lot better at figuring it out, so it's not as notable. "Why doesn't this work", in the other hand, is eternal. For me, the closer example for the difference experience makes is the "No, there's no way this code is broken. All the tests pass, I have 100% coverage, it hasn't been changed in a year, the bug is definitely somewhere else." Narrator: it was not.

i thought the context was clear, but my editor made fun of me the exact same way

lmao yea i laughed so hard about that too :D

@@ThePrimeTimeagen the context was clear, but the switch-up mid-sentence is still funny nonetheless

same, it hurts my soul

People who use debuggers still know what a print statement is bro 😂

Looks like? You are too kind with your soft words. Tiktok is an infectious plague that primarily affects intelligence. Its like CIP but instead of pain its SHAME they can no longer feel

Like Instagram

Well, it *_is_* spyware. (Lookin' at you, Winnie the Pooh.)

I mean, even if it is directly feeding information on its users to the CCP, which it definitely is, that revelation won't stop little Timmantha from chasing likes

The thing only a Junior dev would say. I would rather read 5 lines of code that elegantly does the thing, one by one, by understandable chunks, than 20 lines written by a junior who used a for loop, a bunch of clunky if elses, 2 disconnected arrays and god knows what else weird techniques they think the problem can be solved with, potentially filled with bugs. I really dislike that people are degradating their code for no reason. If you don't understand someone's code, learn it and it's done. Drop that loser mindset. You should improve your understanding and your code quality, not degradate.

@@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5 The senior engineers I know are the ones that write the second one, commit without comments (svn is brand new technology) and if anything needs to be fixed, they copy-paste, wrap it in if-else and pass in feature flag from somewhere. And god forbid you do foreach anywhere, don't you know it's sloooooow?

@@twothreeoneoneseventwoonefour5simple and more explicit code is always better.

​@@BlazingMagpie are they senior engineers then?.. I'd say not really. I am (almost) a senior engineer and I always try to write efficient, eloquent and (at the same time) practical code when possible. It is not simple by any standard, but it is succinct and clear once you understand it. Like a poem?.. Well maybe I am just an abnormal engineer in current age lol. I will not go out of my way to oversimplify, or overengineer something, but I will certainly use some new language features added recently(that will be compiled away by the bundler anyway so no worry there), or less known features like ?? or ??= operators when they are applicable, or an optimization hack that can only be explained with a three line long comment, because it is actually valuable.

@@BlazingMagpie Those sr developers suck. Sr doesn't just mean you've been doing it a long time. It implies some level of skill. Those are just juniors that never grew.

Can also be various forms of undefined or unspecified behavior: memory corruption, indeterminate expression evaluation order, overflow, that sort of thing.

I don't think adding volatile is something you want to do except perhaps a part of a debugging effort. If the optimizer is being too aggressive and optimizing your code so you have incorrect semantics, you almost certainly have a case of undefined/unspecified behavior on your hands and the better solution would be specify the semantics correctly.
