Can ya please go back to the Drop-Down thingy for your license? It's already annoying on its own, but it gets even more so when Voyager adds the Link-Preview
You know what's funny, the two clients that don't support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.
Be careful with that one. I'm not sure about your experience level, but a mistake newer (and some more experienced) programmers often make is taking DRY too far.
It's easy to "dry" something up to the point where it's spaghetti that's overly clever about how it reduces lines of code resulting in some crazy inheritance hierarchy even you (the author) are afraid to change a few years down the road.
There are of course other times when someone just copy and pasted e.g. sort logic all over the code base ... but that sort of thing is relatively rare
That's why I asked. Wasn't sure if it was a joke about the name, or if it's someone pretending to be Taylor Swift, or the real deal (which I never heard of because I don't follow Taylor Swift - or because it's not real.)
The biggest scam about programmers is they barely program
He's got a point, though, the further you go, the less time you spend inputting code. Although some people prefer to continue going head first and then remaking everything.
That is a lot of fun to do, most times. Also I need to provide for my family and the guys who pay my salary want their stupid features implemented like yesterday.
Over the past month I feel like all I've been doing is writing tech design documents for systems I don't actually know anything about because I haven't had the opportunity to go in and do anything with them.
Fortunately I've finally managed to reach the point where everyone agrees that we should just start implementing the basics and see how that goes rather than try to plan it all out ahead of time since we're surely going to have to throw out the later plans once we see what we're actually dealing with.
like with many jobs you're learning to only do the work that matters, and oftentimes when you can avoid doing work that actually improves the product.
There's a reason why construction workers aren't making their own planks and nails, that would be horribly time consuming, inefficient, and they'd probably make shitty planks.
