    I switched from Sublime to VSCode a year or two ago. Its fantastic. I just to javascript though so ymmv. It just does everything right and with a few very well made extensions its great to work with.

    Apparently the freedom to have shithole formatting. PrettierJS has been lifechanging being a lead developer.

    Haven't played yet since I'm in fucking India but man on paper those pharah changes seem pretty good. Especially decreased firing time, should be super easy to land 2 direct hits now and blow away 3/4 of the cast.

    Don't agree with this at all really, you have no idea if they "know" they're underpaid until they get a better paying job and are gone. TBH everyone, employees and management, should have a good idea of market value for their position(s). This is pretty easy to figure out just by having an...

    Don't hop after less than a year. 2 is fantastic. re: React issue above are you using an <input> tag? Or a react abstraction? <input placeholder={etc} /> should render fine anywhere outside of um.. IE8.

    To be totally honest I don't give a fuck. My job, directly, is to complete user stories, i.e. "this should do this". When I think its done I mark it as complete and move it forward in jira. How it gets accepted is not my responsibility, even as a lead. On my team stories get accepted...

    I've never heard of any developers "coming up with the overall test strategy". I certainly haven't. Anyone ever go to India for work trip? First time for me in a few days, 18 hour flight, good times. Director says "bring them candy" (?) ok then.

    yeah no you want me to do all of QA (UAT, regression testing) in addition to all of the dev? You can pay me twice. And by that I mean x1.3 :rolleyes:

    Yikes definitely see how the dom works/what it is (cliffs: the representation of your html that JS can use to do things) but yeah no developer does end to end tests really. Unit tests are their responsibility though. As the lead dev for my team I make my guys do unit tests at least to the...

    Dom manipulation unit tests (enzyme if react) are exactly "how the browser will react" though, at least if written well i.e. when an html element with a class of foo is clicked, an html element with a class of bar is now in the dom, like when you want to test that a modal appears or whatever...

    cypress? If you really want "when someone clicks on something something else happens" type tests unit tests on the code (jest/enzyme/mocha/chai etc etc) work fine. If nothing happens when someone clicks on something why do you need to test it beyond "it exists"?

    Yikes. Pick something and stick to it. If front end learn js in and out and pick either react or vue. If backend learn one backend language and one db query language (probably sql...). Make things, put them on github, make a portfolio site. You're all over the place. Especially fuck drupal...

    Dead Cells

    Game changes a lot when you have all the runes as you can full clear everything and be leveled and geared up sufficiently definitely don't do something you think is a "shortcut". Also don't try and balance your stats, pick one and dump most scrolls into it and 4/5 for the other 2. If you go...

    I had to google runes to get them all sadly. Don't go to the forgotten sepulcher before you know what you're doing, its one of the harder zones in the game.

    Finally beat hand of the king, normal tactics and traps, had some good luck with -DR stuff. Good game but think I'm done.

    Explosive xbow is great too, you get the blueprints from the keyed door in promenade. Somehow my computer hard locked up between zones Saturday morning and after reset my save was wiped (??) which is actually a boon as I don't have a bunch of useless things unlocked. Only real complaint about...

    Dead Cells

    Progression is really well done. After getting all the runes every run goes deep and yeah timekeeper is a joke. Haven't beat last boss yet but surely pretty soon. My advice is stay away from the sewers route as those zones suck and the sewer boss is much more tedious than the black bridge boss.

    I haven't played with any text or voice channels on in comp in months. Obviously sacrificing like 500+ SR by doing so but also keeping my sanity. I have no desire to hear the thoughts of the 8 to 25 year olds that play this game. With that in mind still enjoying the core gameplay pretty much...

    Yeah I've been most successful with double traps but don't have any primary or secondaries that really help them other than the molotov cocktail one and yeah at 42 apparently way too old for these games.

    Been playing this a lot and am terrible at it :rolleyes: got to the timekeeper once lol. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but yeah just plugging away at unlocking shit and when I get to the village with the cannonball guys I just hope I got a build that doesn't suck/can deal with them without...

    Man have to wonder how much the game's gonna change post hamster. Some of those chokes become completely different when he drops on your head like that.

    uh so endorsements do nothing right? Lately been on a kick of "just fill, turn voice volume to zero so it looks like I'm listening to the children, turn off text channels" and yeah still getting lots of "good teammate" clicks. Wonder how long people will use before the novelty wears off.
