“I know what a lot of you are thinking” Yeah what about Firefox? “It’s impossible to make a new web engine” Um… No … Probably not that hard really with pretty decent standards these days. Performance JavaScript is probably pretty hard and a lot of the fancier protocols.
Seriously, what makes you better than Firefox?
Whatever, another choice isn’t bad I guess.
Once we had a “sr developer” join a project from a consulting group. The project wasn’t going well so me and another dev started helping with some tasks as well.
After a couple days of helping, trying to get his web application to work with data from an API he turns to us and says “oh, json is just a string.”
The other developer from our team stared at him for a few seconds, stood up, walked out of the room and told the project manager something along the lines of “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”
So yeah, json is just a string… But if that’s the end of your knowledge you’re in for a bad day.
The sensor stuff for the adaptive vibration? The first screen in that section of the video is a big feature card like they put in the upgrade tours which let’s you turn it on or off.
I don’t know. The sensor stuff sounds pretty gross but the assistants are already listening all the time so they probably got a good understanding of the battery usage and hopefully privacy and later they point out they’ve made significant battery life improvements.
The Bluetooth find my device stuff is icky but I’m using my Bluetooth basically 24/7 so the auto re-enable settings means nothing to me. I honestly think most people turn it off and get annoyed later when it’s not on so that’s probably a pretty compelling improvement for them.
There were some security wins too like the private app area, encrypted network controls and network monitor warnings.
So privacy dead? No it’s basically the same. kinda just another megh update from Android. Moving forward but not wowing anyone. Google is too busy putting all their resources into ruining their trusted search reputation by making it lie to everyone to invest in a real android update.
I wish someone would shake up the phone market again so we could look forward to these updates again.
So using react will get you fired? I knew it!
I’m ashamed… It’s simply “bump deps”
Did I also touch some code and tests connected to dependency updates. Yes.
Did I document any of that? No.
Did I spend more time writing this comment the thinking about the commit. Most definitely.
Will I be bisecting to this commit after our next deploy and cursing at myself? Probably.
It sounds like a joke but as another senior dev, one of the big lessons I’ve learned is getting really good at capturing all the requests that come in and who approved them.
It’s a bit of cya, but mostly so I can say “I can change that but it’s not a bug. It’s what was requested for this to do last year. Here’s the discussion” It’s surprising how often that results in “Oh yeah, that was for x. Let’s not touch it.” Or “oh that’s not a quick fix, let me come back with more information” etc

I got a really good one from git-scm.com. literally every feature you can imagine including a bunch the official GitHub tools don’t even support.
Man, I think lemmy is broken. Clicking on alt isn’t doing anything.🙃
1 of 4 comments addressed. You showed me 😁
I prefer privacy badger because it does more then block ads and is generally a bit nicer to sites.
But really it was supposed to be a satirical comment on the state of the web anyways.
After waiting for the page to load, fighting through ads triggering redraws, dismissing cookie banners, closing the notification request…
It’s a toss up.
Ha yeah “Sr dev” was never seen again, the team member stuck around for quite a few more years.
