Belle! Stop saying "I do declare" for your constants! It's not valid syntax!

I'll create a GUI interface using Visual Basic, see if I can track an IP address.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU&

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Those 2 things are not fucking related lol

There was a lot wrong with VB but I miss being able to WYSIWYG together basic UIs and get back to Real Coding(tm)

[–] ShranTheWaterPoloFan@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

VB was great for learning coding.

Slap some buttons down and have them do math. I made an NPC generator for every RPG I ran in VB as a teen. I felt like I was a hero putting out something that looked "good" for the time.

Thanks i hate it

joke aside, story point can be quite arbitrary

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd rather story points than my company's WAG time estimates 🥲

[–] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man, this whole thread is like a foreign language to me.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha they're just different ways of estimating the difficulty of a work task. Story points are a kind of estimate that are represented by a number. The larger the number the more difficult the task.

My company uses WAG (wild ass guess) time estimates where we have to actually say how long we think a task is going to take in a matter of days or weeks. It sounds fine but programming tasks are notoriously hard to estimate since you have to consider so many different factors. I'm especially bad at it so I'd much prefer just saying "this task is an 8 because it seems hard"

[–] JonEFive@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It'll take 20 hours. Unless it's harder than I thought. Or it's easier than I thought. Or it's exactly as hard as I thought except there's one little thing that I get stuck on for 5 hours.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I recently estimated a task to take a couple hours but it ended up taking a week. Hadn't considered having to update a bunch of other teams services with new proto schemas and making sure they were deployed before our own service 🙃

Who's gonna reverse-sort that kanban into a linked list b-tree?

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Let's also have you do a master rank codewars kata... on the whiteboard. You have 30 minutes.

We have been getting pressure from customers whether or not this substring is a palindrome
