Who is writing SQL in the terminal?
Everyone wore black.
The bit of Clean Code that I read was unimpressive, but Clean Architecture was amazing. I view that book as required reading for anyone who wants to write code professionally. If Uncle Bob hasn’t realized that his coding style is worse than alternatives, I do not see how a second version of the same bad ideas is going to do well.
I don’t know how to get everyone I know to really understand this. Every time I bring it up in conversation, the other person just puts their hands up and explains that they’re powerless to address it, so it’s not even worth talking about. I don’t know how to respond to the apathy.
What if instead we utilized an algorithm, some code, that would ultimately generate the file? I could imagine a program that generates a number which ultimately is more dense than the program. For example, if we just-so-happened to need a million digits of Pi the program would be shorter than the number. Is there a way to tailor an algorithm to collapse down to any number? As an example, what if we needed a million digits of Pi but the last 10 digits need to be all 9s?
Do you happen to know of any good algorithms or numbers? Pi gets harder to calculate with each digit, so it’s not a great candidate.
“Cleaning up…”
Is there an algorithm or number such that we could basically pirate data from it by saying “start digit 9,031,643,679 with length 5,345,109 is an MP4 of Shrek”? Something that we could calculate in a day or less?
It’s time that we admit to deaf people that music isn’t real. The joke has gone too far.
It’s still useful when it’s wrong because it can give you the jist of what should be done. If it uses a library or function that doesn’t exist, you’ll still be informed as to what it was intending for the process at that point. I’ve often gone and just replaced the made-up code with custom code that does the same thing.
I expected “Started new project”
It’s surprising how useful ChatGpt is in these situations. Honestly, it’s a great general purpose search engine.
As someone who learned a lot from C++ and that now loves Rust, this annoys me.
I save “template” SQL queries in a special directory so that I don’t have to google how to do specific things. It’s basically my own personal “examples” folder.
