Continuous refactoring is much easier with well constrained data/type schemas. There are fewer edge cases to consider, which means any refactoring or data migration processes are simpler. The trick is to make the schema represent what

> Hi, can you give an example? Not sure I understand what you're getting at there. An utterly trivial example is constraining the day-field in a date structure. If your constraint is at the level of the field then it can’t make a de

Your example doesn’t validate your point. That’s a valid state made unrepresentable, not an invalid state made unrepresentable. Your example simply demonstrates a poorly architected set of constraints. The critical thing with state and cons

You also need a country name with 'Democratic' in it: Democratic People's Republic of America. That's how you know it's a fully totalitarian state.

It’s not just that they don’t care about being a pariah state, it’s a literal fund raising exercise, unlike most other state sanctioned hacking.

And that cavalier attitude to complexity is literally the cause of so many issues with software engineering. An aircraft engine is almost simple compared to a multimillion line codebase.

I don’t disagree with any of that, but the vitriol doesn’t match the disappointment imho. Especially as they’ve done pretty well in other areas. I realise “it’s the economy, stupid”, but still it feels like outsized outrage.

Yes, it’s getting quite ridiculous now. Labour, for sure, have not done themselves any favours in their first 18 months in charge, but the level of attack and vitriol is exceptional and beyond any reasonable level. It makes me wonder what e
