Politics is about influencing other people. Engineering is about managing constraints. Sometimes these constraints come from other people. If you want to influence a constraint you don’t like, then you often have to influence other people (i.e. politics).
I don’t see anything strange with this.
Speaking up against the manager is politics though.
This only checks that functions are called in the right order. Not that the functions are doing the right thing or if the functions are called with the correct arguments. Quite pointless testing IMO.
For example, it won’t capture cases where cmdChargeCreditCard returns a payment ID that exists for cmdCompleteOrder to use.
Set up an in-memory database, or test against a real database. You don’t test side effects by pretending that the side effects are correct.
After you’ve cloned everything you’ll Arc<Mutex<>> everything.

Hah, wishful thinking
Haven’t started a company myself, but I’ve worked with a few people who have.
The common theme is that you need to involve potential clients early. Understand their wants and needs. What you learn from the first interactions will likely surprise you, and greatly reshape your product vision.
Don’t build a product in isolation for two years. That’s a sure way to make something no one wants to pay for.
Part of designing large systems is to make research easier. Any question regarding the code base should be easy to find the answer to. No one can keep track of all 100,000 constantly changing lines of code, so make it easy to use the code as reference.
The problem is when the system is built by Rube Goldberg fanatics.
In short, it’s easier to manage your data if there’s one single source of truth for it.
The article is about how LLMs circumvent copyleft licenses like GPL
I like to use unwrap_or() to define fallback values. The Option API is quite expressive.
IMO I think it’s fine as long the submitter understand all their changes. This is easiest done if the submitter writes all the code themselves though.
In this case I would reject this. The submitter doesn’t seem to be qualified to understand the code change, and just let ChatGPT explain the code change for them. ChatGPT is a master in being confidently incorrect.
Linux + IntelliJ
I also use VsCode because I like its text editing better.
Not the one you asked, but I don’t like XML compared to alternatives like JSON.
The main problem with XML is that it’s an unnecessarily complicated standard. There are often multiple ways to represent the same thing, each with their own gotchas and drawbacks.
JSON on the other hand has a much simpler standard. The entire JSON standard fits easily in one page. It’s also closer to how data is actually represented in memory. There’s often one ideal way to represent whatever you have in memory to a JSON file, and the reverse is also true.
Despite it’s simplicity, JSON covers most cases XML would cover. Often in a more elegant way.
If you like pain, then XML is the right choice for you.
Wishful thinking. XML is going to be around for a very long time.
Excessive deduplication is an anti pattern.
The point about removing duplicates is to make the maintaining of the code easier. If it makes it harder, then it’s the wrong abstraction.
It’s a massive initiative. Entire staff must be retraining. IT infrastructure has to be replaced.
Worst of all, it will face a lot of resistance from stubborn people with a ”if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality. The public sector has a tendency to be quite slow moving.
Nah. The growth of Linux will barely make a dent on Windows user base. Windows is still huge in enterprise settings.
Yes, I’m just elaborating.
