Good morning!

plexus05:09:00

What are folks working on?

plexus08:09:46

I'm currently involved in a project to replace a logistics company's AS/400 based applications with a modern Clojure app. You haven't seen legacy until you've seen The Enterprise...

bsvin33t08:09:31

How are you tracking the requirements?

bsvin33t08:09:11

Rather than saying tracking, getting would be the right word

plexus10:09:40

that's a long term process which has been going on for close to a year, and is still far from over. We have one very senior technical contact who is extremely helpful, plus things like on-site interviews, mapping out the existing system

I've been doing modern javascript for a year now, learning a lot, but I don't want to get sucked into this world too much. But there where I'm working now as freelancer, they are calling a redux version of the webapp "legacy", so the word legacy gets a whole new meaning.

hlolli11:09:39

Add to that, I helped them migrate from redux to gatsbyjs, and now they want to move over to next.js, because, you know, maintainance is not exciting.

plexus12:09:58

ah yes, "the churn". It's amazing how committed some people are to wasting time.

hlolli13:09:07

that, and underestimating

bsvin33t13:09:41

All this migration, is it bringing in value? Does it really make sense to move from one place to another?

hlolli13:09:17

it's a long complicated story, I'm just a "dev on the floor", I do what I'm told.

bsvin33t11:09:21

I’m working mostly on Ruby/Rails with GraphQL, generic CRUD stuff. πŸ™‚

bsvin33t11:09:18

And a pinch of Elasticsearch

plexus11:09:02

Sorry to hear that you're stuck in OO land

bsvin33t11:09:18

😁 But hey, at least, it’s ruby πŸ™ƒ
