Not much today. I wrote to Bhargav about this stupid bad boolean data that is sent in quotes; he immediately created a Jira case, assigning it to himself, to fix it. Communication, fucking communication. Normal people will improve things when you just talk to them. Ok... As a result, when he fixed is, I'll have to kill the weekly pull job, which misbehaves anyway.

Besides, I have just one test suite left to fix. Before going ahead and investigating, I simplified the test code (test code readability, that's something that almost nobody cares about). Now cases look like this:

val response: Future[(something)] = request.post(or something)

from(response) expect OK withJson(expectedJson)

That replaces boring repetitions.

These thinks I was writing while waiting for my daughter in a restaurant in Hickory. And then got a slack post from Karen telling everybody that today's work day ends at 1pm, and see you Tuesday. Cool. I'm still interested in investigating at least one failure (getting 500 - meaning the request did not get properly passed to the right service).

That's it for today.

Oh, also reviewed three resumes. One was especially ridiculous: the guy claims to be a "senior engineer", versatile in Java, Spring, Python, Scala, JavaScript (do you expect HTML to come next?) - and in his list of positions he was always "leading" something, and "helping" beginners - right from his first position after graduation. Well, ok, that was kind of my life story: I started "leading" about half a year after starting my first job - but that was because I was a rare case, an experienced programmer right after graduation. I was единственный такой хлопчик в Енакиевому. Anyway, it turned out we already hired two engineers, and that will be enough for now. Pity we missed James. Really pity. James would beat all of them, and probably all of our engineers (including me of course) if joined.
