jonno123··on Lastpass Security Incident
Likewise, deleted my LastPass account after a year with Bitwarden. I regret suffering LastPass’ UX for so long.
jonno123··on Goodbye, Clean Code (2020)
Why didn't he replace each one of: "// 10 repetitive lines of math" with: "doRepetitiveMath()" ?

Sounds like he did a lot more than eliminate duplication, and perhaps that's what his boss was unhappy about.

jonno123··on Maximizing Developer Effectiveness
I haven't found many articles from respected sources that will convince management that microservices are a bad idea. There's https://martinfowler.com/bliki/MicroservicePrerequisites.htm... , but this won't convince them.
jonno123··on DRY Is a Trade-Off
Couldn’t agree more. I can agree that premature abstraction is bad. But unnecessarily duplicated code outweighs this by orders of magnitude, in my experience. So stay DRY, and later when you hit that 1 case in 100 where the code needs to diverge, it’s easy enough to copy/paste.
jonno123··on DRY Is a Trade-Off
I want to frame your first sentence. Abstract code discussions are absurd. I’ve learnt to mostly ignore programming blogs if they don’t include some concrete code.

A fan helps me to sleep with tinnitus.

What kind of stretching helped?
jonno123··on Head asleep, body awake
Yes, it feels like I’ve stopped breathing for a minute or longer (which might actually be the case). On a few occasions I hear screaming, which I believe is my brain trying to wake me up due to low oxygen.
jonno123··on Head asleep, body awake
I’ve had this too, and only when on my back. I had a pounding sensation in my head (heart beat), an ominous presence, and the feeling that I’d die if I didn’t force myself awake. I’m convinced this is related to sleep apnea. I try to avoid sleeping on my back now.
