the internal software quality of a code base correlates to the level of emotional intelligence shared among stakeholders. EQ leads to ISQ
it's like the the code is a reflection of the conversations being had across the team

and the quality of the communication (where we need the EQ) shows in the Internal Software Quality (ISQ)

2/
every piece of code you look at, is a series of conversations between one or more developers and their manager. or to unpack it a lil more ...

3/
id bet that every class you look at that is easily understood, easily refactored, is a series of collaborative, respectful, clear, healthy conversations between one or more developers and their manager, and their manager's manager, the customer, and the end user

4/
on the flip, id bet that every class you look at that is confusing, hard to read, test, refactor, is a series of
confusing or contentions or guarded conversations between one or more developers and their manager, and their manager's manager, the customer, and the end user

5/
relates to day to day convos we have as devs
and what we know about #conwaysLaw to paraphrase:

"systems are copies of the communication structures of organizations"

6/
and since - higher EQ = better communication

we might extend conway's law to:

"systems are copies of the communication style, quality, and shared EQ between teams"

Domain Driven Design (DDD) made plain broke down to the bone gristle. cus i need that science to level up my code, but miss me with all the stuffy acronyms and jargon. 🧵
domain

- the actual problem
- what we're trying to solve with the code for the user
- the set of problems that the users ask the developers to solve
- the subject matter
domain driven

- problem focused
- to stay focused on the actual problem

switching from management roles to individual contributor roles and still making the same if not more bread is a slept on power move
moral of the story if/when the toxicity and burnout gets to be to much - make lateral moves

How do y'all like to ramp up on new tech?

🧵
For me, when the need for a new language, library, framework, shiny thing, etc pops up - i find that i usually take the same general steps

and the 7-bullet list i jotted down in my notes became this thread:
1. pick a language, any language. or framework, library etc.

no tech is perfect. don't sweat it the choice too much. they all have pros and cons - but do try to pick one that has good community adoption so you can get help when you run into blockers

re: adding code comments with respect to the single responsibility principle

As a #selfDocumentingCode fanatic, I do appreciate that some kinds of comments go a long way:

1/3
One comment/ blurb (1-3 lines):

- at the top of a class about the single responsibility of the class

- in the project readme/wiki about the single responsibility of the application

2/3
Some benefits:

- helps keep the class/application at the appropriate size

- helps make the class/application be easier to understand/work-with

3/3

phrases never (before tonight) heard in a #PresidentialDebate

"shut up man"
"do you understand what this clown is doing"
"shush for a minute"
"lemme shut you down for a second"
"he's a fool"
"nobody cares"

I feel some more coming on
"you're the worst president evarr"

"Always implement things when you actually need them,
never when you just foresee that you need them." - Ron Jeffries

i feel attacked 🙄

(over-abstraction is one of my guilty pleasures) 😅
like, sometimes i'll take that advice to "code to the interface" to the extreme, just cus i can, and i'll make everything an interface. what you can do with polymorphism and dependency injection is fun ...
but man is it an over-abstraction time suck when trying to just focus on "keeping it simple" KISS minimum viable product. gotta draw the line somewhere and make concrete classes and move forward ...
