Tribalism. Humankind haven’t progress beyond the instincts of having in-groups and out-groups.

Until that happens, there will be discrimination. People would see things in black and white instead of understanding there are shades of gray between.

Wish granted.

You are now a chicken.

But pterodactyl isn’t a dinosaur…

Agree

Personally, I see this as a variation (superset?) of Conway’s Law

“Not having time for it” is usually faulty thinking.

It absolutely is.

The whole point of software design is that any time invested into it pays back multiple times.

Try telling an unreasonable boss this.

My take / how I code:

Method length - when in doubt, and there’s no time to do much thinking due to a tight deadline, shorter is better

(Method length shouldn’t be the determining factor that goes into the design IMO. It should be other principles like cohesion. Shorter methods - on average - just happen to be side-effects of good design)

Comments - generally leave no comment where the code is capable of expressing itself; I do leave comments where it seemed helpful / necessary

Bundling vs TDD - no strong preference; both can be helpful depending on the situation

Bonus: the code for the prime number generator is atrocious. I did not bother reading the sections on it.

Anjum was absent from the operating room for eight minutes and the patient came to no harm.

Isn’t there a term for them already? “terminally online”

But while I did not know the concept of loops, I did deduce functions from how main() is being used.

Entire thing was one big recursion.

Bro discovered functional programming.

I don’t like it actually but I have over 5k hours in Dota 2.

Average dota 2 experience.

1. Singaporean Bridge - It’s basically a crossover of Bridge and Werewolf / Polar Bear / Among Us. That small change of not knowing who your partner is from the start makes for games that are way more fun.
2. Pokemon Soulsilver - I love the following mechanic. The other features of the game are really great too.
3. Raze 2 - I have seen others describe it as the “Halo of flash games”. Personally, I had a blast playing it. Also, Waterflame’s soundtracks are the GOAT.

Necrowomancers imply the existence of Necrowowomancers.

won’t be updating to Java 21

happy sad dev noises

Keep it simple, stupid.

I’d use the built-in dataclass (or something even simpler) where possible. Only when I need more functionalities (e.g. validation) would I switch to using Pydantic model.

I appreciate your effort. I was more of a lurker on Reddit, but realised we all got to actively participate here if we want Lemmy (and the Fediverse at large) to succeed.

Unfortunately, content marketing is a long-term ROI strategy. IMO other marketing means (e.g. ads, influencers) would do a better job of bringing new users onboard in the short term, helping us to tap into the network effect.

IMO there hasn’t been enough marketing of Fediverse / Lemmy / etc.

How about more marketing efforts? Buying ads?
