i've been waiting for the work wifi router to connect me for over an hour now

you'd think it would at least give a timeout error or something

you know

if I had to bet money that there was ONE website that wouldn't accept my (valid) email address
<
pikajude>
I would bet on Skype
<
pikajude>
and lo and behold
<
pikajude>
their code continues to be written by syphilitic horses

pikajude: meaning the senior architect thinks, don't bother with the change, or don't bother talking about it and just do it
<
ljharb>
(also psh, node is great)
<
pikajude>
ljharb: the senior architect thinks 6 months of work for an 8% speedup is not worth it
<
ljharb>
so yeah, that seems like a reasonable opinion
<
pikajude>
not worth it until it's more than an 8% speedup
<
ljharb>
what would you be switching to?
<
pikajude>
the meeting was to discuss what that would be
<
pikajude>
but it was quickly derailed
<
ljharb>
what's your preference?
<
pikajude>
at this point, literally anything
<
ljharb>
why is your node app so badly built that it's that slow?
<
pikajude>
i think it's because we wrote most of the code in javascript
<
pikajude>
but no, 92% of the slowness is waiting for backend to return
<
pikajude>
and the other 8% is because we parse XML documents into javascript objects
<
pikajude>
and yes this is hell
<
ljharb>
so yeah that's your problem
<
pikajude>
and soap
<
ljharb>
the only way i'd write XML and SOAP is if you also gave me free access to the time machine to 1996
<
pikajude>
we're not writing XML or SOAP
<
pikajude>
just reading it

ljharb: btw, turns out that the 8% number is actually based on data that we have no way to verify is accurate or not
<
pikajude>
we have two profilers running in prod and one reports 50+ ms and the other reports 7
<
pikajude>
this is like watching a train derail in slow motion
<
pikajude>
or like watching a chicken being eaten by an anaconda

ELLIOTTCABLE: lol my last tweet at you was a joke

ELLIOTTCABLE: but "2gether" is a band, as is `boyz II men` so also "music culture" does use it that way :-p

<

fuck people who think software shouldn't be open source because it stifles innovation
<
pikajude>
they drive me right up the fucking wall
<
pikajude>
this proprietary closed-source software i'm using right now is not documented and is absolute garbage
<
pikajude>
interesting
<
pikajude>
does anybody know of a website less useful than the one for acestream?
<
ELLIOTTCABLE>
