@yegor256 Some are going to ask: well how do you define that?
Read the "code smells" chapter in the Refactoring book. Everything outside of that is fine.

Maintainability is the most valuable virtue of modern software development.

@unclebobmartin Tests can and should also be refactored. 😉
At the end of the day, it's just code.

In an industry where burnout is The Norm, let's just use AI to do more and more of what we do.
I can't see how that can backfire in any way.

@tsoding Notepad... tell me you are not refactoring without telling me.

There is an interesting misconception about programmers' tooling. One of the best programmers in the world for some reason use very simple tools. And a lot of people assume that it's because they are old and simply have not learnt the modern tools. This is not true.
As you get better as a programmer you realize the importance of simplicity in engineering. You start cutting out the "fat" in everything including your own development setup. A lot of programmers start with very featureful heavy development environments and slowly refine them to a notepad over many decades as they realize what's actually important in Software Engineering.

having a README.md filled with different goals and guides is as bad as a types.ts file. both are a hotspot for unrelated things.

@yegor256 If my manager tries to pull this off with my team, I'm going to create a conference call every morning and hang up every evening. This way, anyone interested can enter and see for themselves. But I'm not doing work about work.

Daily reports aren’t about micromanagement—they’re a guilt-trigger for a lazy team when no one tracks results. yegor256.com/2020/11/03/dai…

@CuriousAgilist @elonmusk Not sure about this, I remember him trying to fake being a top video game player.
English
It should be very apparent to even a casual observer that @elonmusk does not require people liking him; he lives to get at 1st principles which is often difficult when it come humans as they are NOT rational like physics is (except the parts we may have wrong).

Elon Musk is calling for arrests of EVERY corrupt politician—red or blue—who’s been siphoning taxpayer cash through USAID and shady NGOs. Ballsy move, since it’ll make both parties hate his guts. Agree with him? A. Hell yes B. No

Why is it that "TDD is not applicable for ALL code" is the mantra of those who TDD 0% of the code?

@yegor256 Because a single asshole decides if you are allowed to hold a blank sheet of paper above your head in the streets.

Remind me why autocracy is bad?
Garry Kasparov@Kasparov63
This US Congress is happy to concede all power to Trump, turning a presidency into a monarchy, democracy into autocracy. If resistance doesn’t fight back now, 2026 will be a charade, not a battlefield. My @TheAtlantic convo with the great @anneapplebaum. theatlantic.com/podcasts/archi…

Will Finland ever be asked? This is a more important question.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb today: "I can tell you one thing: Finland will never accept the annexation of Ukrainian territories to russia, whether it is the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk."

@ExtinguishedEng @IroncladDev It's rewriting history.
Usually tells you this - whoever does it is a bit ashamed of how things happened in time.

@IroncladDev I don't need to reorder commits, but I admit that I didn't know what an interactive rebase was until I googled it a minute ago and I don't know how to do it.
English
everyone telling me that "you don't need to reorder commits" just doesn't want to admit that they don't know how to do an interactive rebase
rebase > merge
I will die on this hill
IroncladDev@IroncladDev
Senior dev checkpoint using only the git CLI, how do you reorder three commits in the order A, B, C to C, B, A?

Go language is as ugly as Perl, but branded better: procedural, object-oriented, functional. How do you guys code in this mess?

@IterIntellectus Garnish that with a life expectancy 10y below the EU. Sprinkle with negative net immigration.
English
@IterIntellectus Northern. The global northeast (northernmost Asia) is in a worse situation with 1.4 births per woman.

What a chilling plot
We are witnessing the extinction of western civilization in real time
David Quinn@DavQuinn
In the EU last year, deaths outnumbered births by a stunning 1.26m people. Our societies have become incredibly child-unfriendly.
