I fixed a bug and accidentally solved another problem I did not know existed. Now I am scared to deploy in case I break whatever magic I just created. Have you ever fixed something and then refused to touch it again? 🛠️

You don’t have testa to catch regressions?

You don’t have code reviews?

Do you not have a team to discuss this?

Well, it’s not “magic”.

If you don’t know what you are doing, take time and figure it out. Specially at corporations

agree, knowing the reason is very important so it does not create any cascading effects

Are you newer to the team? I agree with the above, you gotta make sure you understand changes that are being made in case problems come up later on. If you need to talk to someone on your team to troubleshoot together, it's definitely worth it.

Clearly the other developers on this chain have never worked on the big ball of mud architecture that most legacy systems devolve into. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

When working on legacy remember the hippocratic oath.

“First do no harm!”

Most developers are too arrogant to follow this rule.

Yeah I said it.

If you dont understand it, then have someone look at it. I dont even know if this is a real question / situation considering you are supposedly a senior engineer. This is a junior engineer question, you should know how your code works or know to have someone review your "magic".

Mate..that tells focus .we need to be fixed on one thing as a bug and raise another bug..else details don't get captured..that's a art one need to build up in software.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

After onboarding, it’s as if my team forgets about us every day. The training is non existent, there doesn’t seem to be any initiative to invest in new hires, my manager scolds me for not knowing enough yet gives no direction. I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?
