@stlpublicradio @kdhx @STLonAir My soul is crushed for my favorite radio station. The board's apparent mismanagement has grown into a conflagration of petty retaliation, firing over a dozen volunteer DJs. In the meantime the STL music community loses our outlet for diverse, independent music.

The DRY principle is essentially: avoid duplication of effort.
This is beyond avoiding code duplication.
If your team does manual testing,
If your team does manual deployment,
this is a violation of the DRY principle.

Extensibility [of code] requires the ability to anticipate really well. If we anticipate poorly, we don't get extensibility, instead we get unnecessary complexity.

Don't ask, "Is this code fast?"
Ask, "Is the performance of this code adequate?"
That leads you to define, "How fast should it be?"

So certain urls to certain Miosene-themed social platforms are now deemed malware? Somebody is feeling a bit self-conscious...
