You seem to enjoy overengineering your code, don’t you?

That’s my man! Haste demeans is what I say

I have to say that I may be a bit ignorant, because I’m mostly engaged in greenfield projects with very tiny devteams and I always keep my dependencies count low as possible

Thank you for pointing this out, that’s very valuable to keep in mind

It does take a lot of space for devs, but personally I find that absolutely irrelevant, because it’s your end user’s experience that really matters, and - as a dev - you are most likely to have a much better rig and internet connection than your average Joe.

Which is of very little importance in most cases, because modern bundlers incorporate treeshaking in order to filter out all the unused code when you’re building a production application

Edit: okay well appearently that’s controversial for some reason

Sorry, but you seem to have really wanted to throw in your conspiracy bullshit. That isn’t to say it’s entirely untrue (just for the most part), but still very much unrelated.

Yup, looks good to me

Sorry, what exactly is your point that goes beyond the comment you’re replying to?

When I was a junior, I was given an entire front-end app to develop entirely on my own with very little guidance from the team-lead. It was some ridiculously bad code, especially since it was my first time working with React with basically zero preparation.

Few months later, project is delivered, I get some time to read docs and guides before starting the next one. Since I was learning theory on what I would practise earlier, I was digesting it extremely fast and it helped me patch up all the holes in my thinking and learn how things should actually be done.

Soon after the next project came and it was definitely much more of a smooth ride. The code was alright and even the early decisions I made were pretty sustainable much later. It was another project I was working all alone, then some people joined in and I was teaching them, but I would always guide them too much and they weren’t growing very fast.

Even after a few months, these people were not ready or willing to work independently, which was my personal failure as a mentor. That’s what really assured me that people should be given a lot of space to properly grow.

My whole career is me working on increasingly larger projects with decreasing assistance. And it’s extremely effective. 4 years in the field and I just became a software architect.

Hotline Miami vibes much

And even so, there is no Max Payne there

You’re confusing late-stage capitalists with anarcho-capitalists

Is that even a joke or a fact statement at this point?

Can you elaborate on why Ukraine was the head of the USSR? This is my first time hearing this take and now I"m interested, because I always considered it to be more of a granary.
