high entropy in information theory is as much information per unit as possible as I understand it, but I confess I had to look it up to make sure :) I think the confusion is from physics where entropy is more about disorder http:/&#x2

Its hard to put a clear hierarchy of importance since it's a rather fine balance. As you say going for maximum compactness makes it much less understandable (Regex anyone?). That's also why i used the term entropy rather than comp

My definition is another: "Great code contains maximum entropy towards to its purpose while being easily understandable and maintainable." Each part is interconnected to ensure quality and efficiency: 1. Maximum entropy means that

I find using a dark theme when coding in the dark is better because the bright white background won't blast your face. light themes are better if you have a glossy display and there's some sunlight since you won't see so man

I have a maxxed out XPS 13 and its a love-hate relationship. The screen and build quality is great, the keyboard ok and the touchpad as well. There's very little to match it in that form factor right now It's noisy as hell though,

I agree with you to a certain extent but... the road to code hell is paved with "don't disturb the tests" intentions ;) This is a bigger problem the less continuously you refactor. I've seen this mentality in a lot of pr

I feel like we're talking about different things... Continuous refactoring IS focusing on quality, it IS managing complexity. I think you've seriously misunderstood Deming if you think he stood for "Do it perfect from the sta

I agree, it's very seldom a method should be longer than 20 lines, and optimally around 6 lines. Any method over 50+ lines should require a long hard look if there isn't a way to simplify it. Inlining everything only gets messy. I

Very true, we're all "bad programmers" in comparison to the programmer we'll be in three years :) (well if we're passionate about programming at least)

You should never have to "fit a large problem" into your head, at least in detail, at once. I think it's something of a myth that that's what great programmers do, when in fact they structure their code to avoid it. I&#x

That's like writing a book "correctly" the first time without drafting (there are a few authors that does that, but not many). Or drawing a picture without sketching. Much of the coding process is gaining knowledge of the pro

Au contraire, that's the perfect cities for startups since they bring the work with them. Why do you think Berlin is becoming the Silicon Valley of Europe? Because for a long time there were not many jobs and rents were low, making a p

I guess that's the other side of labour laws, firing someone who's been employeed more than six months in Sweden requires talking to the union (if you have one), given a valid reason, if it's "lack of work" they hav

As a Swede I'm pretty sure Kvikkalkul is not something we'd name a programming language, it sounds more like Norwegian or Icelandish As a sidenote I heard an anecdote about a guy who programmed warheads. He was writing the detonat

Some advice if you already haven't heard it: When you're done with the first draft. Take a break, like 2-4 weeks, enough to forget it before you start rewriting. It cures you from the "blindness" and let you see it with

Rx programming is so great. It's one of those things that you seldom find a use case for but when you do it leads to 50x easier and more readable code. It truly is for events what Linq was for collections Mostly only useful with more a

Great concept! I guess the selection that will occur based on the price can be either positive or negative depending on your taste. One of the reason to join one of these communities, I would think, is to socialize and network with interest

cool, thanks! Multiple bracket blocks is not the most esthetic of solutions I think but it's the best I can think of. Attributes feels too clunky and just stacking contracts as lines after the class statement feels too disorganized

I've been trying to think of something that drastically change how I coded. Bugs and productivity really are the two major dragons to slay. I'm just spitballing here but something I'd really like to see stuff like code contra
