I wonder if there's a better way to phrase this. Keeping politics out is neither possible nor desirable, but we all know that there's something that's related to politics that should be avoided to keep conversations high qu

Still waiting for a unified abstraction that covers both frontend libraries like React and GitOps. Where an application is composed out of components that communicate via declarative descriptions of desired states.

This sounds like the team is straightforwardly too big for the task. Especially the EM and the staff, lead and senior engineers all wanting the same one thing of a certain scope when they should be working at two different levels at a minim

The application can ensure that its assumptions hold without asserting the exact state of the database. Almost all migrations are idempotent and backwards-compatible, and almost all of the rest of them can be made to be by splitting into mu

The application is necessarily the authority on its expectations of the database.

I wish there was a game that did this on purpose. You are given an undocumented alien half-broken contraption and your goal is to repurpose it for something different. Space Station 13 was a little bit like that sometimes.

It shouldn't be a hard rule, but in most cases a sufficiently long function will have opportunities for pulling out functions with sensible signatures that make sense outside that context. All a linter does automatically is require add

That's (in-)compatibility between versions, not compatibility between versioning schemes.

The monstrosities with dozens of flags do not happen because of the first wonky parameter. Inlining a function or refactoring it when the third use case comes around and invalidates assumptions isn't hard.

A heuristic becomes a fallacy only when applied without understanding the reasons behind it. Every rule has exceptions, this isn't worth mentioning.

Less than 50% of software engineers ever used .NET for anything, so the answer is almost certainly yes?

Dependencies should be small and focused. When scope is limited, it's not rocket science to write implementations that have very few bugs.

Is there a high level explanation of the model?

The solution to that is dependencies that work
