Was mostly having fun with Docker, what's in there and how it works. Wrote a cli, to show when was the last time an image was stuffed in Docker. But I didn't need it actually.
Strangely, no login was needed, it just runs. But I was having problems with the app itself.
Then there was a 1:1, and Jeremey showed me the ropes. It turned out, the app starts by itself and runs. My job was to learn to start it from a test, and catch its bugs. Hmm.
Since an application needs an environment, then I, as I did probably a hundred times, copy-pasted a `setEnv` method from Stackoverflow, and... and it crashes! Because, you know, it's a modern Java. And it's impossible to make a private method available to call. Fucking security. As a result I don't know how much of Scala and Java code just failed to get upgraded. Because see, there's reflection everywhere... because we could.
Of course there's a trick, set some kind of jvm parameter in sbt, which would allow this forbidden method.
So, as a result, wow, the app runs. I have also added a temporary log config: now I see everything. It remains to start sending requests (go figure, which port? 443? Or? 80?) We will see tomorrow.
Then there was a scrum meeting, extremely informal. We discussed the problem of having too many hand-made configs and remember everything. Jeremey says that he has a dream. To have a script which any noob could come over and launch, and everything is ready in a couple of hours. How interesting. I tried it in the previous company. And so, if nobody stops you, why not do it? In Salesforce they did not allow me to write useful scripts. They even were objecting to passing around compiled scala byte code from one server to another. Apache Spark is allowed to do it, but we are not. Oh, whatever, it's all in the past.
Then they discussed some internal quarrels. Jeremey says "he's a sarcastic dick" - right at a meeting! Wow! I love this kind of teams. BTW, the previous one was not bad, too.
They, the team, are getting ready to a release to happen very soon. I have nothing to do with it, so I can only nod. Hocher, in French. The atmosphere is pretty energetic. Interesting!
Oh, and there's a general feeling that being a contractor, separate from the life of the team, from all these social skills (which I never had) - there's something extremely attractive. I just work. I can hunt. Or I can gather.
