I was able to successfully deploy my backend to Heroku . it was giving me some errors yesterday due to mismatching JDK versions on Mvn compared to what Heroku supports.

Now to figure out netlify and hopefully put two of my projects live on the web.

Can someone explain what tools like Chef, puppet, and Ansible do? Specifically when it comes to something like managing a fleet of computers.

From my brief time with Chef, it looked like a tool to configure a machine. Run scripts, install packages, generate properties files. Theoretically, run it a thousand times and it behaves the same way a thousand times. It recognizes the state the machine is in and I think it only makes changes if it has to. So let's say I want to generate a property file with the specific contents:

property=value

The first run it will make that file . I run it again and it takes no action because the file exists as it expects. Before the next run I change it to

fukt=up

It'll see that the file doesn't match, then correct it.

I think Ansible lets you run a command across an array of machines simultaneously. Never used it or puppet.

Developers in here, how much emphasis is placed on testing in your day to day, be it unit testing, mock, tdd or others?

New job kicking my ass brehs . I'm on a team of 4 and each one of these guys has over 20yoe ( I have 4 yoe ) and I feel lost as hell on our new project. We are in a meeting all day working together and Even when they explain something to me I have to go back later that night and review just to get a somewhat grasp on it and even then its flimsy. Working with a new language that I have limited exposure with, tons of inhouse tech and standards that I'm still fuzzy on and then a short time line so everyone is in go mode.
any of yall ever been in a similar situation?

The only advice anyone can give you is: study, document, and persevere.

I was in essentially the same position, with zero years of experience. Don't let it intimidate you, it takes time to ramp up on a project. After about 6 months I was somewhat comfortable. After another 6 to 12, I knew more about the application than most because they only took the time to understand their role and not the entire thing. By the time I left that team, the people I considered to be heavy hitters were coming to me for guidance. You and me are at the same level of experience, so I'm sure this ain't the first time you've heard it, but just be ready, willing, and proactive when it comes to learning. Most people, at least at my company, are generous with sharing knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask.

How do you change the permissions of the library folder on a Mac? When I use chown, it says operation not permitted.

Seems obvious, but maybe sudo chown?

Tried that, but it didn’t work. I was reading on Stack Overflow that it might be because of System Integrity Protection.

I'm on Video 7 now. Luckily I knew about HTML and CSS (a very small ass amount) when I started. I'm on the margin/padding stuff now. I'm in the Discord too, but it's a lot going on in there. So far I haven't gotten too stumped on some stuff yet, fortunately. I haven't even started some of the homework just been following the videos using Anki when I can. Yeah I'm definitely trying not to get left behind on the JS stuff also, so I may watch this video just to see what's up also.

how tf did you watch 7(3 hour) 100dev videos in a day?
