🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔
They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant
The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you:
They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through
There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want
Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔
software engineering is now draining because all the "easy" work is done
you used to be able to do productive but relatively simple work some days (writing some new endpoints, making some dashboards)
now all that is left is the hard part
Here's a mind-blowing statistic: despite making up just ~0.2% of the global population, players with ethnic heritage from the former Yugoslavia are 7.5% of players in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32 (overrepresented by 40x) and play for 9/32 or 28% of teams! -> 🇭🇷🇧🇦🇦🇹🇦🇺🇨🇭🇺🇸🇨🇦🇸🇪🇩🇪
Refactoring is the act of changing the structure of code to be more consumable. But consumable by whom? If the audience is humans, we re-factor to human standards. If the audience is agents, we re-factor to agent standards. Those standards are different.
When agents are the audience, I tolerate slightly larger functions, and slightly more comments. This is because agents are more able to deal with larger functions (cyclomatic complexity less than or equal to six). Agents also use comments well. They actually read them. And they maintain them.
These differences are not large, but they are real.
