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

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

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

"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 ...

imho, the senior / junior comparison is moot

but questions like this are asked a lot in the community, and i challenge myself on it:

Q: what is really the edge i would give *myself* over the junior developer, 10 yrs ago, version *myself* ?
A: i have more humility as a "senior" about what i might not know, more awareness of what might be my own blind spots

and not by any moral virtue over my junior self

i've just been bitten enough times by being "sure" of something, only to be proved wrong
humility and awareness opens me up to different ways of doing things. different possibilities. and at the end of the day, generally speaking - better, more useful code, designs, and skills
