My expectation is that this is something core that programmers should be aware of all the time. Forgetting about this is like forgetting what an interface is. It’s at the core of what we do. At least I think so, maybe I’m wrong assuming this is something every programmer should be aware of all the time.

Do we really need a video about this in 2024? Shouldn’t this be already a core part of our education as software engineers?

The title of the post is “how to avoid if-else hell”, not “how to avoid conditionals”. Not sure what’s your point.

For large companies that serve many customers 5K per year is a drop in a bucket. If it provides their customers with a more secure experience, it is worth it.

Springboot is very confusing. The inheritance tree is insane, they created a class for everything, which I get… But it is so hard to understand the whole scope their design.

Well, the title is click bait then.

Title: “Linux is the worst!”

You wouldn’t download a girlfriend.

… wait, yes, yes you would.

Looks like something that checks that the rows in a grid att up to 15. Why? IDK, a game?

I was thinking that. Good solution. I’m not sure what would prevent them from lying though. The only way to know would be to unpack a whole batch of their products.

Honestly, I don’t like the Go way. If they are going to have that philosophy, at least they should have provided a strong core with high level functions and generics. From the start. Not 5 years later.

I mean, it’s awesome until it isn’t.

NPM is already on the “isn’t” side of it. Specially with all the malware going around. Who has time to read the code of the dependencies of the dependencies of their dependencies? For every single version. It’s just not possible…

I guess the main concern with this is security. You’re literally running code you don’t even know about on your machine, probably next to personal files or your company’s code base.

A simple http call to publish all your private code wouldn’t be hard to sneak in a 6th level dependency.

As I said, I was being understanding with them because I didn’t think their opinion was rooted in hate. I felt they really thought that the focus on the wokeness stole the spotlight from the plot.

And no, I wouldn’t see their point because I haven’t had bigoted or racist opinions before. I sent you a list with 2 points, why are you ignoring the second one?

OK, this is enough. I won’t block you because that’s immature, but please stop. Go ahead and downvote this, I don’t care.

1. A big part of the community agrees with that opinion.

2. I’ve had that opinion when it comes to other series.

That’s enough for me to see their point, even if I don’t necessarily agree with it.

Why are you even arguing with me about semantics? You can go and ask him for specifics if that’s what you care about.

I already told you that seeing someone’s point doesn’t mean agreeing with their point. Do you disagree with this? If you do, I’m OK with it and we can move on.

No, if I see his point doesn’t mean I agree with his point. I see it. I’ve been on his side of this discussion before.

It is totally relative, why do you need to be so divisive? I was trying to be understanding with him, I wasn’t joining a side. Just saw everyone attacking him and thought it was just a matter of personal preference not rooted in hate.

Do you think there is a series that is too woke or pushy? There’s probably someone who disagrees with you if you do, probably a whole community.

Saying that no series is too woke is also an opinion that would get a lot of disagreement.

You see? These are opinions.

It’s not ruining anything for me. I just said I understood his point. Everyone has a different threshold for what they consider preaching, it’s pretty subjective.

If he thinks that, then you should ask him. I just said I understood his point because I have felt this in the past with other shows. I’ve been on both sides of the discussion many times. After many times, you realize there’s no point in fighting about it, people won’t change their minds.

I just said my personal preference: when they act like it is totally normal and not a special event. That’s the sweet spot for me. I’m guessing some may see that as homophobia, and others may see that as brainwashing. That’s just the point I personally enjoy when it comes to these matters.

I think it is forced exposure, trying to program people. I don’t think it is bad if it helps spread tolerance, I just don’t enjoy watching stuff that forcefully pushes ideas, even if I agree with those ideas.

I think that’s exactly what the people calling this “too woke” are about. Like, exposure is so forced and obvious that it ruins the show for them. It doesn’t feel like a show anymore, more like advertisement for ideologies.

I don’t think they are saying “please no homosexuals on TV”, they are saying “please, focus on the plot, not on the social issues that surround homosexuality”.

As for my personal preference, I’ve always thought sex in movies is just awkward in general.

I get your point. You’re saying that “subliminal” wokeness is better than “in your face” wokeness because the later messes with the core of the series.

Honestly, I agree. Unless it is a show dedicated to social issues like racism, sexism or homphobia, try to keep the wokeness subliminal. Just show that it’s fine for these things to happen, that it is normal and acceptable, that it isn’t a big deal. Don’t make it the whole show, it’s just awkward.

I prefer when they show me what reality should be like. LGBTQ people in our social groups as if nothing special was happening at all. Once it becomes preachy and brainwashy, I’m out.

They didn’t convince anyone of anything, they just have a great free-tier service, so people prefer using it than self-hosting something. You can also self-hosted Github if you want the features they offer, besides Git.
