Every day, I commit a new and more complicated version of some simple code
- sixstringtheory 4y agoBuilding up to HelloWorldEnterpriseEdition, I see.
- whatshisface 4y agoNobody thinks of it this way, but the ultra abstraction stuff in enterprise software is actually proof that the previous generation of programmers did as much boredom engineering as the present one.
- oa335 4y agoNicely said; "boredom engineering" encapsulates so much of what I've seen at large enterprises.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- OnlyMortal 4y agoThat’d require a REST interface.
- pessimizer 4y agoSOAP
- faebi 4y agoNo corporate software is complete without an integrated email client, including inbound email.
- kjellsbells 4y agoCORBA
- metadat 4y agoIt's missing some ROT13 action and additional GoF design patterns like Visitor. What else can reasonably be added to this elaborate, simultaneously horrifying and beautiful hood ornament? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns
- OnlyMortal 4y agoVisitor is a very useful pattern in truth. Handy with client/server, deserialisation and in C++, boost variant as that serialises too.
- copperx 4y agoSure, and yet it is interesting how the satire would be funnier with the visitor pattern than with an obscure pattern nobody uses.
- lokedhs 4y agoVisitor only exists to deal with limitations in the language. Every use of Visitor I've seen had been an absolute nightmare to maintain. I'd rather just use reflection than implement something using Visitor. And I think that's what made the comment so funny.
- OnlyMortal 4y agoAmateur! Needs to use setjmp and an intentional bug.
- em-bee 4y agopatience, leave some stuff for later, otherwise the experiment will end soon
- newaccount2021 4y agoYou are my coworkers, except they aren't doing it ironically
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- jeffhwang 4y agoThis is the fun stuff I come to HN for!
- bmitc 4y agoInteresting turn of events. From the title alone, I thought it was going to be commentary on the nature of software engineering and management (or mis-management) of complexity.
- drekipus 4y agoSounds like a regular day at work
- rprenger 4y agoIt should output the result of a GPT-stlye transformer fine-tuned on data set of 1,000,000 instances of "Hello World"
- TechBro8615 4y agoYeah this hits a little too close to home. I think you might be missing an opportunity for some additional pomposity in the commit messages.
- cyclotron3k 4y agoUnfortunately they have stopped this endeavour due to "personal reasons", but they did say they will return next year.
- sssilver 4y agoEnterprise Fizzbuzz (https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...) seems like a much more developed version of this
- patrick451 4y agoClearly, this needs a logging a framework. Bonus points if the logger can be configured to POST to an endpoint...
