I fuuuhuhuhucking hate this condescending, pestering dark pattern that apparently every single designer on the planet is required to use

At first glance I thought it said “extremist kinks”

They didn’t even clean up the rubble

I love how parentheses on function calls in ruby are optional. Is it a variable? Is it a function? Where does it come from? Who the hell knows! Try to run it and find out, loser

That exact error is why I only want to work in typed languages now

I think the focus on short, simple functions combined with DRY code leads to many early, poorly chosen abstractions. Getting out from under a bad abstraction can be painful.

Im not saying every word of it is wrong, just that the sum total of all his advice is. I don’t think there’s any school of thought that says it’s good for a function named ‚writeToFile’ to be doing other stuff

Wait he actually calls himself uncle bob? Creeper

Regarding the experience thing, I’d like to point out that a lot of us have experience that says „clean code” is a real pain in the ass to work with and think through.

I think it’s telling that none of his talks even make it all the way through his SOLID acronym, he sorta just trails off when he’s out of time.

His ideas were real big in the ruby community back when I was learning it, and if I ever go back that code is such a pain to work with. Almost impossible to follow the logic, inheritance everywhere, and I even thought metaprogramming was a good idea. Tests are the only reason that code has any reliability at all.

Now most of my code is procedural or functional, favors composition over inheritance, and is colocated as much as possible.

Hyperbole list? Every one of these things is a stated objective of the trump campaign or is literally already happening.

If you truly can’t see daylight between the republicans and the democrats, you need to:

• appreciate the privilege you have, that you apparently aren’t staring down the barrel of their guns yet
• touch grass, take a break from politics for awhile
• when you come back, look at voting records and their actual impacts on actual people. Read the stories of women forced to miscarry in ER bathrooms as a direct result of what the republicans have done in this country. Read about how republicans stalling aid to Ukraine impacted the war. Read about the 6-3 rulings coming out of the Supreme Court lately, and look at who appointed the 6.

Well I’m sure the trans people who would be forced to detransition, the climate refugees forced to flee their homes, the women forced into dangerous pregnancies, the Palestinians who will receive even less support from the US, and the people of Ukraine forced to live under Russian occupation without our support will obviously agree that it’s most important for you to have a clear conscience here.

It’s not extrapolation on my part, the HTML spec is pretty direct about it:

6. Then, if the element is one of the void elements, or if the element is a foreign element, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS character (/), which on foreign elements marks the start tag as self-closing. On void elements, it does not mark the start tag as self-closing but instead is unnecessary and has no effect of any kind. For such void elements, it should be used only with caution — especially since, if directly preceded by an unquoted attribute value, it becomes part of the attribute value rather than being discarded by the parser.

I don’t think it’s an extrapolation to say that code which is “unnecessary and has no effect of any kind” should be omitted.

And yeah, I linked the MDN docs because they’re easier to read but if they disagree then obviously the spec is the correct one.

🤓 ackshually that’s not the HTML spec. Void elements should not have trailing slashes.

2.5g of trans fats aren’t the issue here

Same reason why blowing on your hand close to your mouth is warm, but farther away is cool.

you are very smart

People with trouble walking, service vehicles, delivery trucks, and such are fine. Literally nobody says they shouldn’t get to drive. They also represent like .001% of city traffic.
