No one has seemed to have mentioned it yet, but the game changer of Starship will be full reusability of both the first and second stage of the rocket. Falcon 9's reusability of the first stage was a huge step towards making access to

I think if you monitor the code running in prod for a while, it can give you confidence that the code is not used. I am proposing a tool that would help you narrow down logic that is not used, and to automatically create PRs that are manual

Thanks for clarification. I thought that was what you were saying originally, but better to check :-) > Seems like big companies should be your market for any cleanup tool, not startups. Yes. For a team getting something off the ground,

Thanks for the thoughtful response. > automated program can't tell the difference between unused code and code that was commented out/not being called Can you expand on those two types of unused code, and why you would want to

Thank you for the response, much appreciated. I guess the target market for the tool would be dev teams that place a high value on code quality.

Thanks, this is exactly the sort of feedback I'm after.

When you say "user's problem", is the software dev the user? Or the end user? If you are saying it is not an issue for devs, I disagree. Dead code / used code paths add to the mental load and mantainance burden. Whether

Does your IDE and Sonarqube really have the ability to detect that certain code is never run in production? I don't believe static analysis can ever truly do this, especially for a dynamics language like Ruby.
523.
by zizee 6y ago
Yes, that would be great :-) I think static analysis can go a long way to helping with this, but again with dynamic languages it can be hard to cover all the bases. I would welcome hearing your ideas on specific tech debt you are trying to

I agree that it would be difficult to build a tool that could guarantee the code will never be called. Instead, I want to build a tool that can allow developers to home in on good candidates for cleanup. I am proposing to monitor code as it

Would it change your mind to know that a lot of BP service stations are small business franchisees?

It would make much more sense for Germany to pay for (or mandate) the installation of electric car chargers at supermarkets and at strategic parking spots in cities. Petrol stations will cease to exist, along with all those mandated charger

by zizee 6y ago
Sure, but their owners do. Perhaps the majority of petrol stations are owned by big business, but I am not so sure. I think many are franchisees/small businesses.

by zizee 6y ago
I understand that, but I think electric cars will make total number of trips to petrol station much smaller. It doesn't matter what percentage of your profit comes from the store part of the business if your customers no longer visit.
531.
by zizee 6y ago
This seems a bit unfair/cruel considering electric cars will probably decimate petrol stations. Most people will charge at home, or when parked at their destination (like work). Edit: Curious to know why this comment is unpopular?

Sounds amazing, and also a little distracting! That must have made it hard to concentrate in class :-) Sad to hear how that ended - and crazy to be performing low altitude flight exercises so close to a populated area.
