Good abstractions are important for the code to be readable. An AbstractEventHandlerManager is probably not a good abstraction.

The original commenter said that their code was "generic with lot of interfaces and polymorphism" - it sounds like they chose abstractions which hindered maintainability and readability.

Isn't the entire point of federation to be able to do what you're describing?

I have never, in my decade as a software dev, seen a role dedicated to "making sure unit tests stay functional, meet standards and fixing them". That is the developer's job, and the job of the code review.

The tests must be up to standards and functional before the functionality they're testing gets merged into main. Otherwise, yes, you may actually need hundreds of engineers just to keep your application somewhat functional.

Finally, 30 engineers can be a vast breadth of knowledge.

On the one hand, mutation testing is an important concept that more people should know about and use.

On the other, I fail to see how AI is helpful here, as mutation testing is an issue completely solvable by algorithms.

The need to use external LLMs like OpenAI is also a big no from me.

I think I'll stick to Pitest for my Java code.

About 10% of homes in the US are considered vacant, 5.5% in UK, 18% in Europe. 0.02% of the US population is homeless, I believe it's 0.006% in UK, 0.07-0.33% in European countries.

Yet your solution is still to make housing even less comfortable for poor people by getting rid of density laws and blame immigrants for the housing prices, to boot.

Saying "Airbnb" is obviously an oversimplification - a ton properties seem to be bought by rental companies, not normal people. There's a ton of properties just sitting empty, as well.

The solution is to introduce more control for housing, not less. Less control means more cheaply made hell-scape skyscraper buildings housing hundreds of people each, with no green spaces anywhere in sight.

Why aren't LRG releasing all these classics on GOG?

[-] dandi8@fedia.io 2 points 4 months ago

Ah yes, let's make it even more of a hell to live in cities by paving over anything green and making people live like livestock in tiny cages. That will surely solve the problem!

Oh, and really it's the immigrants' fault! They're the ones buying up all of the houses with cash to later rent them as AirBnBs!

It's no less possible than for the tooth fairy, or Santa Claus to exist.

No one claimed the west is perfect. The claim that other parts of the world are (or would be, if only that pesky west didn't interfere) is, however, ridiculous.

[-] dandi8@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago

That's a straw man, as I never argued that there were no western influences.

It's at best naive to think that only western influences led to atrocities, though.
