I had a viscous reaction, if ya know what I mean.

There’s nothing quite like the unique pain of navigating an unfamiliar codebase that treats abstraction as free and lines of code in one place as expensive. It’s like reading a book with only one sentence per page, how are you supposed to understand the full context of anything??
Software devs in general seem to have a hard time with balance. No comments or too many comments. Not enough abstraction or too much, overly rigid or loose coding standards, overoptimizing or underoptimizing. To be fair it is difficult to get there.
Maybe the word “audit” is incorrect? If they didn’t provide you any guidelines, I’d definitely recommend asking. But it’s possible they’re just looking for your perspective on best practices and possible improvement ideas, more like a general code review.
Interesting, yeah. I inherited a Blazor project though and have nothing positive to say about it really. Some of it is probably implementation, but it’s a shining example of how much better it is to choose the right tool for the job, rather than reinventing the wheel. For a while I was joking about setting the whole project “ablazor” until we finally decided to go back to a React/C# ASP.NET stack. If you’re thinking of using Blazor still, though, I think two fun things to look into are “linting issues with Blazor” and “Blazor slow”. I’ve heard people praise it, but they tend to be those who consider themselves backend devs that occasionally get stuck making frontends.
Depending on the software, you still get to think about garbage collection!
Nothing wrong with being an EMT who does all those things as hobbies, unless the capitalist pigs to whom you sell your hours demand more than their fair share…
The problem with modern UI design in a nutshell…
I often interact with people who don’t like something but haven’t used it before, so I’m definitely going to steal your term “informed dislike” to distinguish between those cases and ones that are legit gripes.
I’m surprised the CPU cooler is so small when they went to all that effort adding all those Noctuas.
I use Vscode with markdown preview, with a git repo. The only downside is that Windows incessantly wants to group instances of an application, so it’s hard to keep my notes separate from my coding stuff.
I wrote a json prettifier a couple months ago with just a couple lines of code. I thought it would take a while but ended up taking like 10 minutes.
Shout out to the yt channel Ahoy for making some of the most sleepable video game videos, like this one: https://youtu.be/9F9ahZQ7oP0?si=AzP9X_vq-o96gPD_ Also great when you’re not sleeping!
Originated in car culture to describe people who take Japanese economy cars and make them look like they’re from The Fast And The Furious while doing nothing to improve actual performance.
My well-trained monkey brain scrolled right past your comment, then I did a double take because I realized Lemmy shouldn’t have ads. Thanks for that little scare, lol.
Out of curiosity, why not go off-the-shelf? I think you can buy ready made systems for that job.
I understood what he was talking about instantly… but only because I did the same thing with the brake when I was a kid.
