I mean you can …but its gonna be slop.

I remember some crazy stuff back when I had to work with a Java + ember.js project. Everything was like that.

Thats kind of you to say 😀

WTF

Cool, good to know someone else has the same experience.

Ive been on a couple of multi-year projects and they are NOT fun with OOP + developer went crazy with patterns they were experimenting at the time. Its what made the “rule” pop up to begin with.

Its the best/worst thing about OOP no matter what language.

We had a rule at work that if you are 3 levels or more down an inheritance tree, then you are too far. The cognitive load is just too much, plus everything stops making sense.

One level can be great (MVC all have great conventions, MCP as well). Two can be pushing it (Strategy pattern when you have physical devices and cant be connected all the time, Certain kinds of business logic that repeat hundreds of times, etc…) But even there you are kinda pushing it.

I need code that I can look at a month from now and know WTF is happening. And sometimes its better to have less DRY and more comprehension. Or maybe im just a forever mediocre dev and dont see the “light”. I dunno.

You can still find the shirts everywhere.

Im seeing the same on gotosocial. Im hoping the new articles will pop up at some point.

Llms do create a lot of slop code thats for sure. Makes me want to get off github.

Theres a way to combine the best of both of them :)

It would be a killer feature for us in the fedi. :)

Peertube is awesome, but more alternatives in the space would be welcome.

I agree. Its the best way of preservation that we have.

Its still nice to have an official way to play the games…although I personally love what the people at PortMaster do with decompiled games and projects. Some games look absolutely fantastic on newer hardware.

I had a job that used COBOL and programmed in it. Its not terrible. It even works with sql.

The issue is the decades of code with little to o documentation, the fixes for issues like y2k that wirked at the time but now have problems, and greedy companies that want you to pay per processor. All the while you yourself are one of three people in the city that are looking to slowly pull everything out of COBOL, making it just a bit harder to get a job next time.

Theres a reddit community for that. Litterally !reddit@lemmy.world

Thanks! I personally think as long as people land in the fediverse, its going to be ok. But its cool to give some highlights to piefed.

Also congrats on making a “controversial” post! Thats how you know its good :D

Yeah I agree, its all the same TBH.

Because it would address what you talk about above. You dont like it, fix it. Ive done it on quite a few fedi services, its not terribly hard. It makes the world just a tiny bit better.

Create a PR and fix it.

It took 2 days for a PR to go though on piefed. It was a great experience.

Reading the code is VERY easy, even compared to other projects. I was able to get it up and running in about 30 mins with very little knowledge of the project. The “filters” are all optional on the admin side and instances can and have modified them to suit their needs.

Congrats @rimu@piefed.social ! Your project has gained “controversy”, the main way you can tell its getting successful 😁.

Nice. Its a fun one.
