Man I'm helping some guys on a different team from my normal team ingest some data in Cassandra and build a rest service to serve it on azure. They got everything fukked up. They have one git repo for all their code. Legit 10-15 apps in one repo. And their pipeline to deploy to azure is the dumbest shyt I ever seen. And our teams might combine in the future so we would have to fix all the stuff they got fukked up :stopitslime::sadcam:





2 days ago I read this post and didn't understand a word you were saying.

Today I understand it all. :wow:

Maybe I'm just bad at estimating, but is it really that much work to go from Java 7 to 11 :gucci:? These people talmbout it's gonna be a lot of changes, completely neglecting that I told them I've been compiling the project in 11 and making the changes as I've gone along :skip:. Out of over 100 modules in this project, only 1 can't be converted so far. These white folks man :snoop:

Breh it's tedious and it's a lot of testing. Stuff that was shipped with jdk7/8 are separate packages in jdk11 going through and changing all imports to point to correct stuff is a hassle then all the testing to make sure everything works the same way as jdk7/8. It was just easier to move to openjdk8

So far the imports haven't been a problem. Base64 classes with associates code changes, and maybe a few more dependencies I pulled in at the parent pom level. I can't say the functionality is 1:1, but we have to swap out some stuff underneath anyway, so the testing has to happen anyway.

If that stuff is aligned to what you want to do. There's too much in software engineering and "IT" to take a scattershot approach. You have to make a decision on what you want to do, and then start working towards it. Your end goal can change in the middle but at least you'll have direction.

Alright, quick question can I get in cyber security on my own? Whether that’s certs and/or self taught paced courses?

Probably but it's not going to be easy. Look through the IT thread, I think a few people have outlined some paths. I don't think there are many SEs in cyber security in this thread.

I'm picking up bits of React Native in my spare time, but I don't have the motivation to keep staring at the computer after I finish work. I barely have the motivation during.
