I guess we just use a very stripped down version of jira, because it's really just enter an issue, brief explanation, and further documentation to help whoever comes to fix it solve it faster. If it takes me longer than 5 minutes to create a ticket that means I've spent way longer than usual.

I think of it as a good place to keep a record of know issues or desired improvements, so they don't get forgotten.

Funny I find jira to be very useful for a nice centralized location of where we keep issues that weve come across and will, at some point, handle, but are not going to get to now.

Other than our team lead, I don't think any of our managers even look at it.

I've seen it enough both ways to disagree with one being the standard.

So you accept that there can be a minimum range, but they should just hide it.

If a candidate is smart, I'm willing to accept less experience. If a candidate is less smart, I want them to have more experience. There is uncertainty in the minimum experience I'm willing to accept.

While there are certainly cases where this annoys me (as another poster pointed out "up to 60% or more!"), this is not one of them as it could have an explanation.

99 honda Civic. I loved that car. Abused the hell out of it because I was young and dumb, barely took care of it, and it still made it to 225k miles. Probably would have lasted longer but I got into a bad accident with it and it started leaking oil after that.

So one time someone broke into my car and tried to crowbar the radio out. They destroyed the whole dashboard, but failed to get the radio (it was nice of them to still take the face tho).

What this resulted in all of the controls hanging out by their wires. Everything still worked, I just had to sift through the exposed wires, pick up the proper control and twist the dial or push the button. It was ridiculous but still miles better than touch screen for these things.

These threads drive home the point that a GUI of some sort is far superior for most users. I use git kraken, but in the past I've used git extensions as well, and I take advantage of so much more git has to offer than pretty much everyone here.

I swear people just want the cli to be better so they claim it is, but I really don't get how. Especially for quickly scanning the repo, doing diffs, commiting partial files, history, blame, etc.

it’s fine for the government to be expected to know which experts they need to consult

What happens if they don't even know it's a problem? Or they don't realize the severity of the problem so it gets a lower priority?

And it also sounds like you're arguing that I can't talk to my local representative about what I think are the important issues that need to be addressed. If they have to seek me out, I would have zero input.

they’re just using the word in an implicitly narrow context.

I think we mostly agree, but disagree on this point. I think it's just that most people haven't given it any thought. Like they are just ignorantly going along with the popular opinion.

This is exactly why people sound sophomoric when they say "lobbying needs to go!" There are some drastic problems with lobbying as it is allowed now, but the last thing we need is the government regulating things they know nothing about without the input of experts. On top of that, it's nonsense that I can't pass my local councilman on the street and stop and push them to spend more time addressing important issues like climate change.

Yeah, I was lucky that I snuck into my company's pilot program for it.

I'm impressed at how often it predicts what I'm about to do. The code almost always needs a slight bit of editing, but it almost always at least shaves a bit of time off of whatever task I was doing.

I no longer go straight to stackoverflow, I always ask the copilot first. Sometimes even just phrasing the question in natural language, something I wouldn't do it trying to find it via search or stackoverflow, is kind of like rubber duck debugging, and I'll come up with the answer while writing it out.
