11:59 functions should be as short as needed for your given abstraction. Like if you use MediatR in C#, the Handle method should be as short as possible to do the work you need done. Repetitive code can be moved to injected abstractions, or extension methods. Super easy to get smaller number of lines this way, and also nice abstractions.

5:47 the universities have some kind of ranking system

This isn’t just a software thing… this is a design thing. Any time you have anything useful, a machine, a process, software, ui, anything, it enables the next better thing, and achieving that next better thing will make the enabler redundant and old and not pleasant to work with in comparison. So we should always plan for old stuff to be replaced continuously.

@bobsemple9341 no sheet! That’s why it has a has a reputation system, and a moderation system, and ability to edit answers, and add questions, etc. it’s quite easy to weed out the sheet answers. And you’d be a fool to just assume that questions and answers exactly match your problem and you won’t need to spend a little effort teasing out the useful bits and applying it to your situation. Besides, you also get “sketchy” knowledge from every other source too, like from blogs and posts and YouTube vids. Even published books can give bad advice.

@bobsemple9341 It’s a weird flex whenever someone says they don’t use SO. I love StackOverflow both getting answers, and answering questions, and adding comments. It’s an awesome resource. I’m honestly surprised that anyone would choose not to use SO. It’s super useful.

21:33 stop playing is the best strategy?? They want you to stop playing. That’s why their actions are so confusing, in which case yeah not playing is better.

13:59 When you customise vim so much, how do you cope when you SSH somewhere and use vim on another machine? Does’t that get annoying? Or do you set up neovim and your config on every server you remote to?

3:26 a version number isn’t actually a number. It’s a complex object represented as a string of numbers separated by .’s. So yes, dropping the 0 from 1.20 is fine because it is actually the same number.

The doofus making the complaint is most likely using YAML syntax that looks like this: ‘version: 1.20’. As per 2.4 of the YAML spec, this will be interpreted by the parsing language, and in most instances will be interpreted as a numeric type rather than a string. In the blog post, however, they make it look like they used the syntax ‘version: Go 1.20’. However, applications would always interpret this as a string and therefore not drop the 0. This is PEBKAC plain and simple. If the person wanted the version number to be interpreted as a string, they should have used either ‘version: !!str 1.20’ or ‘version: “1.20”’. It’s as simple as that.

8:55 I’ve always suspected that Dynamics is just using SSIS and SSAS behind the scenes. I wonder if this vid will confirm my suspicions…

12:08 I think the professor has altered the Primeagen’s voice to sound more cartoony 😂 probably just to mess with Primagen

12:20 yeah rewriting and starting again in a new language is a pretty big call. At what point do you make that call? At what point is it too late? And it’s not just the code, it’s also the whole deployment pipeline, and any other tools you’ve written, and the people hired with the specific skill sets. And maybe the frameworks used with the two languages aren’t exactly compatible, so you may have to restructure the code too. Not that it can’t be done… it’s just a big call… Personally, I would only make that call if something had catastrophically gone wrong with the first language choice or the first choice was going to financially ruin the company or hold it back in some significant way.

47:27 every singleton ever created eventually needs to become pluralised. If you want a singleton, just initialise once and pass it around like you would in the plural case.
