@aidenybai I think the correct answer is "it depends". Early return at the start of the function is good, but once you get into the function logic somewhere and potentially have a required return object it's less clear, and early return can easily introduce bugs.

@fjzeit My memory isn't as good as yours, but I think lowest cadence is definitely less than yearly (new products), and max is maybe circa 30 (4 major releases, and weekly patches, but not all of them got out).

@fjzeit @dgkimpton I don't read python, but the only gotcha I recall is that it won't fit in a 32 bit int

@azapirone Just wait for the mosquitos to kick in.

@shrydar LTT for a vid on cost recently. I think digital + PS plus subscription is really good for access to lots of very good games.

I don't normally post these, but my word finally came up:
Wordle 1,230 1/6

@fjzeit I've used Zwift and a trainer on my regular bike. Ran it on an old laptop and tv. The system's not bad.

[dayta @dayta]

@shrydar I think that had more to do with the lack of non-beach entertainment than weather.

@fjzeit I'm not sure if it was exactly first, but lpc for muds was a lot of my early C(ish) experience.

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit Also, I feel the people who just say "do everything right all the time" clearly work in places very different to every job I've had. There's _always_ some kind of downward pressure to use less time. You can only push back so much in most places.

@fjzeit I've seen it lots, often in code that's run flawlessly for years. A lot of our quality desires are based on things like maintainability... If no-one ever needs to maintain it, does it matter? (Obv, guessing what will need maintaining is so hard we just assume everything will)

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit My big problem is they replace one basic rule with another basic rule. I've seen nothing to say weight loss isn't calories in calories out, but that calories out bit is all over the shop, and I highly doubt it's all thyroid function.

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit Or the problem's in a third party library and they refuse or can't fix it. Or management are prioritizing other things. Ol

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit You argue forcefully for the implementation of this bill!

[dayta @dayta]

@shrydar @_devJNS I've already deleted tiktok. Zero regrets.

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit @gmiller Nah, they're nowhere near that polite about it.

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit It's legacy when you don't like it any more. Could be that you don't like the language, or the style. It's a way of abdicating responsibility (potentially reasonably).

@shrydar @halcyon_hazel I mean, I'll eat protein bars, but in no world do they taste better than proper candy.

[dayta @dayta]

@fjzeit For me, clearly a pattern...
Java + C -> C++ -> C# -> C++ -> C# -> C++ -> C#
Miscellaneous scripting (tcl, python, JavaScript, typescript) and occasional x86 asm throughout.

@fjzeit I miss the CVS "merge monkey" we had for making sure only one person would merge at a time. An actual physical (fake) monkey we passed around.
