Some sort of ignorance is intrinsic to youth. Why they need to pull such non-arguments as this is just a mystery to me.

[Dan Patrascu-Baba @danpdc]

One of the problems with TDD is that its advocates behave like door-to-door Bible sellers. They try to impose their way of working as the only one leading to salvation. And they're using mostly flawed argumentation that wouldn't compete even against a high-school debate team

@scotthannen While DDD is about ubiquitous language, low level concepts are important to understand as well. I have built one small system using this concept and classic design patterns. The result is very satisfying, even performance is great. Sometimes you need to explore yourself.

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

A wise man who have contributed to this site and supported... what do we actually support when using/buying stuff from publicly held companies?

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

@druzgala_marcin @ardalis The problem is all of us start by coding unstructured ad hoc solutions and only some of us made a step further.

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

@druzgala_marcin @ardalis If you can see, the DDD style of building systems is a complex process. I understand why people choose more ad hoc style with passing db context, enjoing the feeedom of expression in particular ad hoc situation. Nothing is for free though!

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

UI devs can't resist urge to program business logic instead of just presenting data. No surprise if there are no real (educated and experienced) backend devs at all!

I regularly maintain a work trace file full of temporary notes in Notepad! Still editing screenshots in Paint!

[Konrad Kokosa @konradkokosa]

Confession: I still do use Notepad.exe sometimes to note something temporarily 👀

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

Do you know that even a class has an interface? You can derive just an interface and ignore default implementation completely. Check out the decorator or adapter pattern!

[Sean Feldman @sfeldman]

I still can't understand why .NET developers insist on having an interface for every single class.

Building software is about communication firsthand. If you do not see this, you are just a software enthusiast.

[Christian Findlay @CFDevelop]

Building software is about writing code. Anyone who tells you otherwise is gaslighting you

@jasonalba Most dificult or troublesome feature first.

"No piece of art has ever emotionally affected me the way this robot arm piece has. It's programmed to try to contain the hydraulic fluid that’s constantly leaking out and required to keep itself running...if too much escapes, it will die so it's desperately trying to pull it back to continue to fight for another day. Saddest part is they gave the robot the ability to do these 'happy dances' to spectators. When the project was first launched it danced around spending most of its time interacting with the crowd since it could quickly pull back the small spillage. Many years later... (as you see it now in the video) it looks tired and hopeless as there isn't enough time to dance anymore.. It now only has enough time to try to keep itself alive as the amount of leaked hydraulic fluid became unmanageable as the spill grew over time. Living its last days in a never-ending cycle between sustaining life and simultaneously bleeding out... (Figuratively and literally as its hydraulic fluid was purposefully made to look like it's actual blood).
"The robot arm finally ran out of hydraulic fluid in 2019, slowly came to a halt and died - And I am now tearing up over a friggin robot arm 😭 It was programmed to live out this fate and no matter what it did or how hard it tried, there was no escaping it. Spectators watched as it slowly bled out until the day that it ceased to move forever. Saying that 'this resonates' doesn't even do it justice imo. Created by Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, they named the piece, 'Can't Help Myself'. What a masterpiece. What a message."
Extended interpretations: the hydraulic fluid in relation to how we kill ourselves both mentally and physically for money just in an attempt to sustain life, how the system is set up for us to fail on purpose to essentially enslave us and to steal the best years of our lives to play the game that the richest people of the world have designed. How this robs us of our happiness, passion and our inner peace. How we are slowly drowning with more responsibilities, with more expected of us, less rewarding pay-offs and less free time to enjoy ourselves with as the years go by. How there's really no escaping the system and that we were destined at birth to follow a pretty specific path that was already laid out before us. How we can give and give and give and how easily we can be forgotten after we've gone.. How we are loved and respected when we are valuable, then one day we aren't any longer and we become a burden...and how our young, free-caring spirit gets stolen from us as we get churned out of the broken system that we are trapped inside of. Can also be seen to represent the human life cycle and the fact that none of us make it out of this world alive. But also can act as a reminder to allow yourself to heal, rest and love with all of your heart. That the endless chase for 'more' isn't necessary in finding your own inner happiness.”

the discussion of dependency injection, inversion of control etc is now in its own article: https://t.co/XcLha38zqZ

[DEV Community @ThePracticalDev]

Dependency Injection is a design pattern where a class receives its dependencies from an external source rather than creating them itself.

Here's how it works.

@mjovanovictech Blowing my mind how different our perspective of simple app means!

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

Somehow cannot get the point of publishing CRUD REST API. To whom? The thick client in the browser? React one?

[Milan Jovanović @mjovanovictech]

I researched PostgREST recently.

It's a RESTful API on top of PostgreSQL.

Here are 4 lessons I learned:

1. You get a CRUD API in minutes
2. Great performance
3. Has a C# client library
4. Good option for a Blazor backend

Hope that's helpful.

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

@Mafyou Yes, I meant JavaScript React framework.

[Vaclav Prokop @meetvashek]

Doing C# and .NET with a toxic culture is a hustle, indeed!

[Michal Strehovský @MStrehovsky]

Stop doing dependency injection
