Edit: I meant this in a positive tone, not a negative. I'm glad they take pride in their work.
- Swizec 5y agoIt’s their job to destroy things, why wouldn’t they be proud? I’m proud too when I refactor bad code.
- geodel 5y agoDeleted 5000 lines of code from a project yesterday! And I am feeling very good about it :)
- _eht 5y agoI, too, delete entire projects!
- Apocryphon 5y agoOne weird trick to increase code coverage.
- lostlogin 5y agoAre you proud enough to provide drone footage of the refactor?
- rpcwork 5y agoScreen capture, Nope. Drone footage, yes!
- TremendousJudge 5y agosometimes I wish I could
- vikramkr 5y agoWhy shouldn't they take pride in their work? Its honest and important work. Not every building can/should be preserved, tearing down these structures is important to remove dilapidated safety hazards and/or build something new
- sonograph 5y agoI didn't mean it negatively. I wrote it with a smile. They should take pride in their work!
- version_five 5y agoA few years ago they were demolishing a building across from my office. They had various demolition equipment, mainly big backhoes including some equipped with grabbing. They were taking their time ripping stuff apart, and then sorting through what they'd broken off to separate out all the rebar and other metal. What I liked was, at the end of each day, the crew lined up all the equipment and put each in what I would call a "majestic" pose, like with its arm looking purposeful. I thought it gave a cool, and professional look to the construction site, and showed they obviously cared about what they were doing, to clean up and pose the equipment, vs just leaving it where it was when the shift ended.
- thewebcount 5y agoRandom tangent: This is the most bizarre thing I've seen in a while. At the bottom of the page is a "Protected by Recaptcha" logo that follows the page around. Clicking on it does nothing and no Recaptcha is displayed. What is it supposedly protecting and how is it doing that protecting if no Captcha is displayed? (I browse privately and am constantly hit with Captchas, but this one didn't prompt me.)
- kccqzy 5y agoRecaptcha version 3 doesn't need to show you a CAPTCHA. It just calculates a score in the background, and of course it's up to the website to determine what to do with this score.
