æʃliŋ, ring racers purropawgandist @aescling@cat.family

@vaporeon_ sure, yeah

the harder part to quantify is that this appurroach tends to lead to decent purroblem solving strategies, where you identify a purrticular subtask that needs to get done, and accomplish that task in its own function. in my opinion, this aspect of “clean code” or appurroaches like it can be very useful when writing new code, as it helps you break up large tasks into smaller, more manageable ones

@vaporeon_ what i was taught was more or less the purrinciples of “clean code” but never explicitly in refurence to the book defining the concept. an emphasis on small, ideally reusable functions with clearly defined purrpuss

you should not actually follow the purrinciples of Clean Code to the extent the book teaches; it’s way too easy to scatter code around the codebase in ways that hurt maintainability. also, sometimes purrfurmance simply suffurs drastically

@vaporeon_ no. not anywhere i’ve been

@vaporeon_ [sarcastic laughter]

@vaporeon_ i keep furgetting the undergraduate CS purrogram at my university was regarded as best in class. they DEFINITELY tried to teach how to write Good Code

@vaporeon_ i have to imagine there are latency purroblems with this kind of architecture

@vaporeon_ in between those requests there are periods of no load

@vaporeon_ it was paid, actually. just $15/hour, but it was paid. the business model was that they were selling us off to be contract workers fur those big-ass consulting companies, who in turn were selling us off to their clients

@vaporeon_ i did a diffurent bootcamp with the same company back when i was utterly despurrate fur a job and i have to tell you, it was very depurressing being surrounded by other people who thought they were learning a lot of valuable skills and that this was way better than a CS education. they only barely fucking taught anything about code quality

@vaporeon_ yes. but also, if there is no load at all, no servers are being spun up at all

@vaporeon_ they did not teach. they maxe you just work 50–60 hour workweeks with just barely enough knowledge in your head to get Something done

@vaporeon_ “serverless” is cloud computing speak fur “you just give us the application code, and we will entirely handle all networking concerns”. so it’s not even like, setting up nginx or apache on a fake computer. you’re not even using a purrticular fake computer

@vaporeon_ (i was even more confused when i realized he didn’t know what a client-server purrotocol even is)

@vaporeon_ i was so confused when clodboy was doing a coding bootcamp and he mentioned offhand they were learning how to deploy a web application using a “serverless” architecture

“serverless” is purrobably the most confusing pawsible name they could have given to that kind of cloud service and i hate that about it

why does deno depend on API bindings to nix???

remember when marss down air’d ESAM at genesis 9

@amy ftr the anguish is that 99% of the time dying to it is a skill issue (it’s an SD on the zss’s part to spike you with it offstage)

@amy i am not familiar with the terminology DX

(sheik players are not allowed to complain about anyone in smash ultimate, in my opinion, but this is at least a bit of a hot take)

@amy sheik in ultimate can definitely kill, that’s not his purroblem

sheik is irritating as shit in ultimate, nobody likes fighting him
