I just quit my job. We have a dotnet application running that I didn't write, but I'm the only one who knows a little dotnet, so I took care of it. My handover will be this, or "learn dotnet".

As long as insurance covers it, do we really need to care? If there's a big problem, insurers' lobby groups will get the law changed

Learning .NET is easy, the hard part is understanding the business. You can buy books or training for whatever language, but once the people who thought up the logic of the system leave, all you can do is archeology.

Sure, but you need to do something for that money. You’ll probably have docs for what, but you’ll often need to dig through the code for the how.

This is gramatically correct in some languages with double negatives, such as Czech.

I mean, it's grammatically correct right as is. Do not what? never switch off. Ie, you gotta turn it off once in a while. Sounds like most of the piece of shit leaky software I have under my responsability right now...

Seems to be a general feature of Slavic languages.

Although it would prolly be "never do not"

Czech has nearly free word order. You can put "nikdy", "nevypínejte" and "server" in any order, depends on context and what is emphasized but this one is indeed preferred.

Double negatives are fun! It's a little weird how, depending on the context and language, they can either be positive or extra-negative. "I don't see nothing!" is often used to mean you can't see anything, the double negatives reinforce each other rather than cancel out into a positive meaning. Similar for "I don't have no ..." or "we don't need no ..."

I don’t see nothing!

Isn't this something that only means so, in the recently developed dialects?

I mean if it were instead, "> I don’t see nothing.", I would understand it as the person is actually seeing something.

I took over a project recently. I asked for updating instructions... as in "once I make changes, how do I push to prod?"

They gave me instructions on how to update angular and dotnet packages.

Mother FUCKERS.

I spent time digging around the code, setting up my dev env, and then I noticed dev and prod had a slight difference.

"yeah, we gave you the wrong branch"

Fuck.

I had to dig around and find out how they started the docker on prod and then I could replace the .dll and restart the container. It was not fun.

I once took over a project. The guy left in bad terms. Took off with the credentials of his virtual machine, on which was the latest build of the project. Tried to download and build on a different machine. Did not work. Nobody knew how to. Never found out, fuck that noise I left within a month. Oh, and they were starting to use git. Fifteen fucking years, they had been selling their software. No versioning at all.
