Thanks, I saw it :)

I know you're trolling, but FYI the `static` before function has nothing to do with the `static` return type. Like other programming languages the term `static` is used to denote two things.

Still no support for my audio interface over USB… You can add it, but no signal comes true. I know about virtual audio routing, but I'm so sad this bug hasn't been fixed after years…

Did you read the whole post? There's

> 'What am I becoming?' rather than 'What am I getting?'

That's a great insight. Thanks for sharing!

Hope you're in a better place now!

Is it really a question of whose responsibility it is though? If you're feeling stuck, it's your right to find ways getting unstuck. If that means changing jobs, who can blame you?

Unless you're a manager at your company it's not your responsibility to fix it.

There definitely are stages before being stuck. I worked for three and a half years in that company, and only felt stuck for the last year.

I went to all three stages you describe, feels very familiar.

I feel like company's like that are shooting themselves in the foot: the delivered product is of lesser quality, developers aren't happy and quit sooner or later.

Looking at it from a manager's perspective, I think you'd want to do everything in your power to prevent such situations. Feels like there's a general lack of future perspective in many companies.

brendt_gd | 5 years ago | on: PHP 8 JIT performance in real-life web apps

Some background information about the JIT in PHP: it was clear from the start that it wouldn't affect classic web applications all that much, since there's not a lot of "hot code" to be found over there, especially since by default PHP doesn't use any long running processes to handle requests.

There are some benchmarks out there that claim the JIT has an immense impact on PHP performance, but these only measure specific code samples in isolation. The JIT _can_ open doors for PHP to venture into new areas of programming, but we shouldn't expect it to significantly impact our day-to-day web programming.

It makes diffs easier to read, and ensures you never forget to add one of you'd add a new line to the parameter list.

brendt_gd | 6 years ago | on: Combining event sourcing and stateful systems

Everything starts with trust, of course. We've proven ourselves in several large projects and within our open source community before. The client knows that.

There's never any estimate of "so much hours will be spent in total on this research", we just honestly communicate with the client along the way, and they give us their trust.

Whether we can keep that trust is up to us.
