joeyagreco··on Suite smells: testing legacy code
> See if a small block of lines around where you’re working can be extracted into its own little function [...] add a little test for the little function, and make your change, leaving the rest of the code alone.

To me this is the best compromise.

You can:

- change code without worrying about breakage

- ensure your new code is tested

- not have to worry about long LOE that comes with trying to scope in writing tests for the entire codebase

joeyagreco··on It's not enough for a program to work – it has to work for the right reasons
could you give a concrete example of what you mean by this?

joeyagreco··on GM to Cut More Than 1k Software Engineers, Mostly in US
Twitter became a much worse app (as far as user experience goes) imo after the firings. The replies to a tweet being filled with bots/ads instead of relevant conversation alone makes the app borderline unusable.
joeyagreco··on Show HN: I Made a Website for Problems
I think I would use this if it followed the pattern of anyone can view posts and comments but only users with accounts can comment/vote.

I heavily dislike having to create an account just to see the product :/

joeyagreco··on Open-source utils for devs who don't like ads
Outlining exactly what the tool does in the README would help a lot. I was having trouble finding that info.
joeyagreco··on The most, and least, walkable cities
I noticed this as well. I find it hard to believe that car is the most common form of transportation to work in New York. I would assume Public Transit and Walking would dominate.

Would love to see a video walking through this process as well as an update on how it holds up. Nice job!
joeyagreco··on Python Has Too Many Package Managers
1. Use pip as a package manager 2. If you need a fresh env to test in, use venv

This is the flow I follow for Python development

Good work! I would like to see a section on the README outlining the benefits of Pongo

joeyagreco··on Instant stats for your fantasy football league [Excel] [Python]
I just released version 1.5.0 of a new Python library called leeger.

This library allows you to take data from an existing fantasy football league and get instant stats from that league into either a Python script or an Excel spreadsheet.

This library supports multiple fantasy sites AND manual league data input.

The main idea behind this library is:

1. Load stats into a League object

2. Pass this League object into various library methods to extract stats

This currently supports the following fantasy sites for instant league loading:

- ESPN

- MyFantasyLeague

- Sleeper

- Yahoo

Any feedback is appreciated!
