I imagine without any discipline though you just get a consistent set of tests that no-one has the bandwidth to go and fix or make unflaky. I wonder if flakiness of tests correlates with discipline to paying down tech debt and improving tes

But how is it a reliable indicator of any sort of failure if it doesn’t always fail? Doesn’t it erode trust?

Then get rid of it ;) it's a worthwhile decision

This was my experience too. Same thing happened with Facebook. No-one really noticed the account was gone. Doesn't mean I instantly lost all of my friends either ...

I guess YMMV though. I closed mine and it hasn't really affected anything. Career has been able to move forward full steam without it.

I deleted mine about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. It's not affected my ability find work one iota, and literally nobody has asked me about it.

Yikes. If the thing you're worried about the most is how replaceable your staff is, there's something smelly going on ... That said, any web developer worth their salt should just be able to pick up any tech like Mongo or React wi

Seems like it was an entire platform rather than just a feature. I don't know how you do it! I've worked somewhere like that too and I found it so demoralising. Reminds me of the study where people built things out of Lego, and wa

Imagine being on the dev team and hearing this. I'd probably quit. Good grief ... Having said that, it's weird that no-one raised this as dodgy while working on it.

If all you care about is money, then why bother? Break both legs riding a bike and sue someone for a million dollars. Honestly we all earn so much unnecessary money in this field that we might as well at least try to do something useful w

I would say this is a little too cynical. Banks in Australia I would say are quite sensitive to fraud now given the recent royal commission. More likely is just that they don't care or understand the value of it, and most consumers don

But why market it as "gearbox is a web framework for building micro services written in Go". If it's not production-ready, who are these micro services for? It just seems not even close to polished enough to share it with the

"We haven't really done anything useful, but please someone come and make it better" This is why we have so much crap on GitHub. OP has admitted this solves no real-world problems, and I would argue there is nothing wrong wit
