Comment on: Oracle Java sucks.
Yeah they changed their default TLS version, without the command line switch to set the version you want it won't work
Comment on: What is the best way to keep your projects organized from start to finish?
-
Spend time architecting your software first. No need to go overboard, but you need to know what major system parts you will have and what components each of those will have. Major system parts should have their own sub-project.
-
Break things up by feature or component so that everything that is needed for it is in one place. In the future when you want to modify a feature or component, all its stuff will be in one area. (Compare this to project that break things up by say file type, which is a nearly useless way to break up a project) This is also great if you're breaking up parts of the project for multiple team members, where each can work on one discrete unit.
-
You will re-organize your project at some point, just accept that. As you get further into a project, you'll have a better idea of the overall design and behavior, and therefore will want to move things around to fit that. For this to happen once or twice isn't abnormal, but if you're doing it continually it points to bad design / architecture.
-
Everything goes into source control together in one place. This includes documentation, SQL scripts, upgrade scripts, etc. Don't make a future coder or yourself try to remember where various things were put on different systems or services.
Comment on: When all your senior devs leave and you're left with fucking nigger-brained idiots
Why do you think the senior devs left? I've seen this 3 times now as companies I worked for suicided themselves with diversity hires. Companies start hiring diversity hires who can't do the work, that increases workload on those who can do the work, eventually they get burned out and leave. Over time development is just populated with useless diversity hires who can't do anything.
meh
