Completely disagree here — that's how you get extreme program bloat.
Lets take this scenario. I want current weather value be part of config value. This could be pulled/scraped from online source in 2 lines of python.
Alternative as you imply every program should have some complex abstraction for scraping now? That's just silly.
- benecollyridam 7y agoWhy not just let the program get that value? If my config has side effects I wouldn't be confident that my program would run the same each time. To me it seems like this would lead to poor reproducibility.
- kabacha 7y agoHow would the program get the value? It has to pack all of the scraping frameworks and abstract it so it could be interacted enough for text configs? Then it would have more scraping code than whatever program intended to do. > To me it seems like this would lead to poor reproducibility. I'm not sure how reproducibility matter here. You're not writing tests - it's a program on your computer for your personal use.
