That's business as usual actually. I don't know wth you are doing with your machines but Windows is crazy stable. Much more than my mac at work. And linux... like... nevermind...

Right, I should've mentioned except arcane things (for us pleb web devs) happening in low-level languages.

This refactoring is so simple and obvious I don't even understand why some people don't write like this by default. I've had colleagues comment my PR on my "failed validation, return early" code saying "we gene

I mostly agree with you except: > that class should be doing the validation, not the Rectangle class itself. I partially disagree. You should have a layer after which all (request) parameters are surely and clearly validated. This avoids

The problem with a struct-like construct is that it doesn't have any way of guaranteeing some data is present and valid or not. I'm thinking about C++-like structs or python maps. An object representing a dumb data structure can b

You probably didn't get the sarcasm :).

Why use actual objects and rely on static anlysis when you can write tens of unit tests that ensure the maps/tuples passed around always contain the correct data structures? And you get the added benefit of 100% test coverage.

Getters/setters vs public properties has nothing to do with encapsulation. Obviously not all properties are public/have getters and setters.

I mean, in software engineering we try to avoid unnecessary dependencies right? This is exactly what's happening, why would those clocks ever depend on the power grid?? EDIT: Nevermind, sounds like there are precision concerns that jus

That's also why state machines are common in GUI frameworks, as noted by a sibling comment above.

> implementing a unit test will take an entire day with marginal benefit The benefit should be realizing that if you need an entire day to implement an unit test you're doing something very very wrong.

Remember this when you'll write your first spec one day.

by spdionis 9y ago
You have never written a spec have you? Not only is the 5% important, as every "only 5% left" tends to be, you are completely ignoring possible developer questions.

Second take away for me should be: it doesn't matter if it's your manager, or a random person on the street, allow people to save face in any situation possible.

Yes. Get a meeting a room and do a proper meeting. The thought of having a 1 hour long meeting makes me sick. The thought of having a 1.5-2 hours long phone call (adjusted for inefficiency of the phone call) makes me want to kill myself. I
