I always find it amusing when people claim "a very complex implementation". Sometimes it's a hard problem, other times an easy one. Either way that's not for you to judge.
And the implementation being complex... is that a good thing? Wouldn't a simple implementation be better? It reminded me of the parable of two programmers.
- cognitiveinline 4mo agowhy is it not for the author to judge, you can disagree with their judgement, but they have brought the receipts to back the claim
- enraged_camel 4mo ago>> Either way that's not for you to judge. Says who? If you find something complex, you can just say that it's complex. I don't get what the objection is.
- tasuki 4mo agoPeople have so vastly different opinions of what constitutes a complex problem that it carries no meaning.
- Tossrock 4mo agoI go a lot more into why this was a complex problem in the post, but the short version is, I had it finish the implementation of a meta-application (an application that creates other applications), which has substantial irreducible complexity.
- tasuki 4mo agoFair. To be honest I didn't read your (probably very good, judging by the comments here) post.
