Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

• The IT Guy Effect

What do you guys call it when you go to take care of a ticket and when you walk through the door the problem is magically fixed? I've even had it happen to me on more than one occasion when I'm having trouble and a colleague takes a look.

I'm sure it could mostly be chalked up to user error, but sometimes it does seem uncanny.

I just tell people I really believe they had a problem and they just got "IT Guy-ed".

Excited to hear your stories!

• What developer opinions have changed for you over the years?

Just as the title says. What are some opinions about development you use to believe strongly in, but have changed over the years. What has changed them? Was it any new experiences?

A few of mine are below:

  1. I don't really care for DRY anymore. 10 years ago, I tried to make my code as DRY as possible, but now I don't mind repetition

This changed due to moving to writing Go professionally. I started to notice that making Go DRY felt like a code smell. I will create an abstraction if I understand the code enough. But I use to be obsessed with this.

2. I don't think dynamic languages are that great on the backend. I use to think it was only performance, but lack of a type system is a big problem. I use to try to make Python and Ruby code work in the backend. You can certainly write code faster in those languages, but they feel like liabilities.

3. Memory safety maybe isn't that great anymore. As a Go dev who use to be a Java dev. All I know are JVMs. But I've found garbage collection gets in the way, and optimizing or building around the GC is quite a pain. It requires very specialized knowledge of the language, and learning how to save allocations. In Go's case it can lead to some very unreadable code. And in Java you have to really learn how to tune the JVM. I also think Rust borrow checker and lifetime semantics actually creates a lot of complexity.

And that's it. Any development experience for you that has changed over the years?

• Whenever people say “Don’t build your own auth”

Do they mean don’t do things like create your own hashing algorithm, JWT’s, etc? They don’t mean that you should use an auth service like Firebase or supabase although you can, rather they mean to use libraries for hashing, JWT’s, etc made by people who specialize in their respective things?
