Aaron Erickson Dylan Falconer Even in 94 we knew that we should favor composition over inheritance, just read the Design patterns book

My website programmingbooks.dev was not reachable for a couple of days due to DNS issues I’ve it solved now, but there are a lot of jargon to know today just to host a website properly

Satire at its finest

Your code also doesn’t need to work Why are people posting so much dumb and pointless stuff

Funny how things work out when you try too hard

Some people are just dumb trolls that think they know better than everyone else but somehow they probably know less than most

Just finished reading Apprenticeship Patterns, on Cenny Davidsson 's recommendation. I'm definitely going to re-read this a couple years down the road. Looking forward to reading The Art of Unit Testing by Roy Osherove next!

Not doing TDD really slows you down; is my conclusion after doing day 1 of advent of code without it

I don’t write much clojure from day to day, but I do enjoy writing it

The YouTube channel ”Dev tools made simple” is a great collection of clips from interesting talks youtu.be/u4IMJKoeREU?si…

The best indicator that you have made a bad abstraction with your extracted function is if the implementation details are leaked into the function name I learned this from the Clean code book

Did Ai actually help anyone to work significantly faster as a developer? I’ve yet to see anything that would actually make a big difference in my day to day work

People should think about this a little more Don’t optimize for boilerplate code, optimize away boilerplate In Lisp dialects we have powerful macros, but there are other meta/code generating tools that work with most languages

This is the year you should learn a Lisp and play some board games with people who are nice, do some physical activity too while you’re at it, also read a book or two! And if you have children, don’t let dumb things stop you from enjoying your time with them Good luck with the

Some people insist on misinterpreting TDD and Kent Beck 🌻 Why? Probably to bait people like me

Take 5min and read this

JS (and TS) is such a weird and annoying language, I’m glad I only need to use it sparingly To even have a discussion on how to best declare a function is a problem most languages don’t have or need

Everyone, do yourself a favor and start doing continuous integration and stop with the PRs for team code

It’s not so black and white Do rewrite legacy code if you are building a new version that is simpler and with fewer features based on the knowledge and mistakes of the old one Otherwise, refactor if code needs to change. Rewrite and refactoring are not the same
