Or if the what is so cryptic and esoteric that it would require the reader a couple hours of research to understand it.

Also, I find it useful to summarise the what before code blocks if that can’t be summarised in a function name

Out management used to tell us, that even if head of department had committed to doing something some way, there’s no way or need to hold them accountable. It’s just that situation has changed, and nobody should bat an eye.

To be fair, they also did not pressure us much for the missed deadlines or missing features, because it was indeed the result of the situation described in the first paragraph

Well, this is shitty

I hope the reviewer did not also squash commits, and the next programmer would be able to at least dig what was there.

Doing changes after some rockstar dev implemented some really complex service, but left no clues as to what does what is so frustrating, and I can never be sure that I don’t break anything in a different place completely

Probably, because in production there are really few things that are best done with regex. Most use I had for regex in production is filling in data from user-provided files with specifically crafted names, and even there there was some guesswork because of errors in naming, and the same thing may have been achieved without regex by splitting and/or iterating

Depending on the use-case it maybe should. On the other hand, some things are better left to library implementations rather than custom regex, e.g. email validation

And tuples should have the same types inside. And dictionary keys should have the same type as that dictionary’s values 😈

Not if the new UI consists of a single close button: “make whatever I want”

the guest tells you they want the fluffiest pancace possible, positioned vertically on the plate.

In fact they want four of them, each perpendicular to all othes

It’s just an old rant, some people can’t get over the fact systemd exists

Remember how everyone was expecting the end of the world in 2012, kind of like that.

I personally don’t find it romantic anymore

Yeah, that was the point of the joke

But you’re right, better leave a link, the more people know, the better

I don’t know, whenever I hear such arguing it makes me feel like it emphasises the issues we as humanity have gotten into, not belittles.

I mean, hearing “everything is doomed” is kind of epic and has it’s charm. Hearing “only the humanity is doomed” makes me feel shitty and want to do something about that.

But only unarmed ones

Judging by another reply, ey meant that French cops will engage in a fight rather than chicken out. That doesn’t make them the good guys, of course

So that’s why I can’t print greyscale documents when my yellow ink is too low!

I installed GIMP on my Android phone for changing aspect ratio of photos, but used it for hue, too

I expected him to aspire to become a politician until the last frame

This is not completely wrong, though

Also, I like how this problem had a really simple solution all along

There really isn’t anything we can do to prevent memory safety vulnerabilities from happening if the programmer doesn’t want to write their code in a robust manner.

Yeah, totally, it’s all those faulty programmers fault. They should’ve written good programmes instead of the bad ones, but they just refuse to listen

Underspecified schema is indeed a problem, but I find it too common to just shrug it off

Also, you’re very right that just using strings will not improve the situation 🤝
